Would you say something?

Over breakfast yesterday I was sitting in the lounge of a hotel in Germany and overhead a very loud couple discussing the French gunman/terrorist. The jist of the long, ignorant conversation was "who cares, he only targeted jews". I was pretty appalled but figured they were elderly and it just wasn't worth the effort to say anything to them.

Tonight, in the same lounge, a group of Brits in their early 20's were drinking heavily, toasting Hitler's birthday and "his goals". Just my luck to check in during anti semite week

Anyway, my question is if you were in a similar situation to either of the above, would you say anything?

I'm a jew but I'm about as secular as you can get. There's absolutely no way the remarks were directed at me. Would you you have done?
