Amazing!
Truly an amazing people. SO much intelligence!
Less than half of one percent of the world’s population is Jewish and there are so many great contributors out there.
If the six million Jews who were killed were allowed to live, the world would have been a much better place today. Maybe there would be a cure for cancer. Maybe there would be cures for so many diseases.
I’m not sure where you are getting your info, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more. Thanks for excellent information I was looking for this information for my mission.
I agree if the holocaust didn’t happen, Jewish scientists would have developed so many more cures and discovered so much more!
Its amazing to see the Jewish people accomplish so many great thing that have helped humanity.
What i don’t understood is in reality how you are
no longer really much more smartly-appreciated than you might be now.
You are so intelligent. You already know therefore considerably in the case of this topic, produced me individually believe it from so
many varied angles. Its like women and men don’t seem to be involved until

At all times maintain it up!
Great comprehensive list.
