White German Shepherds and the Nazis
Neil Gaiman mentions, and other sites confirm, that the Nazis tried to eliminate German Shepherd dogs with white hair. Strange.
I found myself looking into what Neil said because his phrasing caught my eye:
There would be a lot more White German Shepherds around if the Nazis hadn’t decided they were racially inferior and needed to be cleansed from the gene pool. Of course, the same could be said of my family.
Ditto for my family too. I often forget that Neil’s Jewish, or at least that he was raised that way.
