Doll  +  351069 Sun, 15 Apr 07 11:24 AM Incredibly new?????No, I learned this last year from a documentary.When I first heard of it I got surprised  like you, too..I don't know exactly now which country decided to do this because there was a general statement.It just told it is forbidden his relatives to get married(even they administered an oath to them) because there were people who had a kind of mental illness which is hereditary and has no cure in his family.(sorry I can't remeber its name now)Also Hitler was thought to have this illnes, too.So, as a solution they wanted to hinder his genes to pass new generations.If I don't remember wrong, one of his relatives was shown in the documentary but it was an old photo probably he is not living now.

It's possible that the op was taught a version of this history that conflicts with the mainstream one and is now questioning that. This should surely be encouraged and not condemned. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

But as a Jew, moreover, a Jew with ancestors that were killed in the Shoah, I feel deeply insulted by the way the question was asked. Alexa Alexa For Australia

	Grammar Geek  +  359699 Thu, 03 May 07 04:25 PM Alex, I really don't see anything insulting in his question. If he is from a place where, as Nona suggests, the Holocaust is denied, and now finds what he is hearing elsewhere to be in conflict with what he has always been taught, then good for him to trying to get more information. He said he was confused, not that he didn't believe it. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,683 Barbara, who answers in American English.
