Michael--perhaps I undersold my link--perhaps you can tell by the opening paragraph, so helpfully posted by Lox above, that it is a very serious, scholarly article, offered at The Holocaust Teachers Resource Center, which decribes itself as follows--

"This Holocaust Teacher Resource Center (TRC) web site, is dedicated to the memory of the six million Jewish people slaughtered during the Holocaust and the millions other people slaughtered during the Nazi era. It strives to combat prejudice and bigotry by transforming the horrors of the Holocaust into positive lessons to help make this a better and safer world for everybody. This site is sponsored by the Holocaust Education Foundation, Inc."

I tell you this so that you understand that when you say "but I don't think I shall access that site you so helpfully provide the clicky for." it looks as though you choose to ignore those who are trying to teach the lessons of the Holocaust. I am sure that's not what you meant, and that you only wanted to be spared from humor that makes you uncomfortable.
