First time seeing this. Damn. This is astounding

Moishe Goldberg died and somehow ended up before God.

"I have a Holocaust joke for you" says Moishe.

"Ok, tell me"

So Moishe tells the joke.

God says "I don't get it"

"Well, I guess you had to be there"

Did you hear about the Holocaust?

The Jews did Nazi that one coming.

Fantastic.

Oldie but a goodie

Brutal.

In this unpredictable world it sure is nice knowing the best joke is always in the comments.

A Moshe from Judenrat?

teehee

There we go. Knocked off Reddit’s two favorite shitty Nazi puns that come up every single time

I'd say "someone had to" but that would be a lie

It's their sense of humor that sustained them as a people for 3000 years.

Here's another joke that was popular during the war:

At 9:30 last night, a Jew in Poland killed an SS officer, cut out his heart and ate it. Why is this story untrue?

For three reasons. An SS officer has no heart, Jews do not eat pork, and at 9:30 at night everyone in Poland is listening to the BBC anyway.

5000

Even better!

I remember reading victor Frankel's book and he told about this artist who survived the holocaust. He saw a funeral and started laughing hysterically, when being asked why he was laughing he replied "all that hooplah over a single corpse". That made me laugh and also feel morbid.

You have no idea what my people have been through

And this offends you as a Jewish person?

Why not 6?Would it kill ya?

Last time I heard this joke, the Japanese bombed pearl harbour

Many many butts, no doubt

No, it offends me as a comedian

It would be a lie, but someone was going to

dentists!

Ah, the good old days...

One man sad million man stat.

Are you an anti-dentite?

What was on the BBC at the time?

I find Concentration Camp jokes very offensive!!!!!!

My grandfather died in a Concentration camp!!

He got drunk and fell out of the guard tower!!!!!

Not na expert, but during that time British radio was all prohibited because they obviously where anti-nazi

Holy shit

TBH, I wish they sent them to their own schools.

Ugh all you have to do is Google it. BBC, big black .... I Googled the wrong thing!

The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

8pm, gotta be Eastenders

Tangentially related, I read Maus II last week (I read 1 back in college). Fantastic books, would highly recommend. They're in graphic novel format so even if you don't like reading you can still enjoy them

Obviously not many cinema fans on Reddit today my friend. But don’t give up, nothing is over until we decide it is!!

Bomb warnings, resistance reports, news broadcasts, and the allied troop movements that had been made public.

Am I missing something or do you genuinely think that

Please watch Animal House with John Belushi. Then you'll appreciate the joke.

Good one

It's been years since I read that book. Had a very profound effect on me; perhaps it's time to read it again. "Man's Search for Meaning"

Ah, not the version I heard. The way I've heard it the guy asks god if he cant tell him a joke and god says, "sure" and then he tells a holocaust joke and god, somewhat miffed goes, "I don't think that's very funny." To which the guy replies, "Oh, I guess you had to be there."

First and foremost, there was accurate (more or less) news of the war. Newspapers in occupied Europe were either banned to conserve paper or were heavily censored by the Germans, who only allowed news of German victories to be published. Radio ownership was forbidden under the occupation, but most people wealthy enough to afford a set were able to keep one hidden, even if it was just a simple homemade crystal receiver. Besides the news there was other programming intended to lift the spirits of people under occupation, including patriotic music and jokes like this one. Radio programs included helpful instructions on how to resist against the occupiers, both passively and through direct action. The BBC also sent coded messages to communicate instructions to resistance groups.
