Your first thought is never the other side, but more so what you see in front of you and preconceived notions.
I wouldn't say I applaud her because for a lot of Jewish people just the mention or picture of Hitler brings back harsh memories. I know an older couple that actually escaped and moved here right after the war ended. They were small children when it all broke out. The husband has told me that he can't even hear Hitler's name be spoken because of what he did to his family.
