One of my customers was Jewish; a very remarkable lady, the manager of a hospital lab in NYC. Her husband managed a lab in a different hospital system. Born in 1934 in Hungary, survived the Holocaust, moved to Israel, married an Iraqi Jew, had 2 kids, collected 2 PhDs in Biochemistry and another related field. Was a research scientist for a competitor and developed several immunochemistry assays. Would totally grill me on my service calls, how I knew that the analyzer was functioning correctly the theory behind how I troubleshot the issue and verified the repair, sometimes messing with my head for fun, and often over some really great corned beef courtesy of her. I learned so much from her, and we respected each other greatly! A very strong personality, the polar opposite of her husband.

She told me that she saw "The Producers" on Broadway and really enjoyed it. I asked her how a comedy based on a comedy about Hitler would have been funny because, IMHO, mass murder is the biggest crime I can think of especially mass murder based or race, nationality, religion, etc. However, Dr L*** told me that comedy and satire is how Jews delt with the injustices delt them over their history. So now it makes sense, as the Schultz and Klink characters were total idiots. I understand now. Maybe for these actors and especially for the character in Hogan's Heroes who was a concentration camp survivor, the show was therapy.
