yoohoohoo-

Hello - thanks doing this AMA!

Is the ISIS mainly comprised of foreigners, and are the foreign fighters more radical than the Syrian population?

My own opinion is that most Syrian people would not want to live in an Islamic State. What are your thought?

Do you think there is a political solution to the Syrian Civil War, and how likely is it for Syria to be partitioned?

Thanks!

Hi - thanks for taking the time to do this AMA!

How effective do you think the Nuremberg trials were in punishing those who were responsible for planning and executing the Holocausts? From my understanding it seems that many people were given a free pass after the war.

What do you think regular German soldiers during the war through of the genocide? Specifically on the Eastern Front when death squads were following the German Army in 1942 to 1943.

Which countries were the biggest collaborators with the Nazi during the Holocaust?

Hungary was at first allied with and then occupied by the Nazis during the war, as opposed to the French who were invaded. Also in France a small part of the population was complicit with the Nazis.

It seems the Hungarians willing gave up their Jewish population to the Nazis, by the sheer numbers of Jews that were murdered who were of Hungarian origin.

Here's a quote:

"The position of the Jews in Hungary will be even worse than in Czechoslovakia since the Hungarian Government is even now pursuing a sever anti-Jewish policy by attempting to carry out within six months the plan embodied in the “Jewish Law” for virtually purging Jews from the nation’s economic and cultural life, a plan originally scheduled to take four years to execute."

Yes sorry, I'll clarify my second question for you.

I was trying to get your sense on what the average German solider thought of the Holocaust and the mass executions during the war, and how involved they were.

I surprised by your answer to my third question. I thought it would have been Hungary.

well Italy also tried to switch sides too... lol.

Can you share some information on Czech Jews during the war, and how the Jewish district of Prague was left as is by the Nazis? I was in Prague over the summer, and thought it was really cool to see.
