The intentionality of the giver is not so important as the properties of the thing itself: it is supposed to be good, but really isn't.
Jews portraying as mice and the Nazis portraying as cats reveals that
they Jews and Nazis are in a predator and prey relationship. The hunted, the
Jews, are being hunted by the hunters, the Nazis. Mice represents weakness
against the cats and is shown by the treatment of the Nazis towards the Jews.
