Reply to comment by YewKnowMe in TIL: A family of 12 performers, 7 of whom were dwarves, all survived Auschwitz after being separated by Mengele. Several prisoners who survived claimed they believed they were hallucinating when they saw seven well-dressed dwarves passing by. by 0verlyAnxious

The Nazis were obsessed with snow white and Hitler said it was one of his favorite movies. Snow white came out in 1937 so like having seven dwarves was probably something everyone joked about the way we used too with anchorman.

Snow White was also one of the most popular German fairytales for centuries before that.
