Expose the Real Evil

The American playwright Eugene O'Neill said "There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now", the philosopher George Santayana, wrote "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" while Karl Marx famously stated, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce".

Of course the idea that we should learn from the past is only valid if one has access to objective history, not the distorted version which one finds in totalitarian states, such as the fascist and communist powers.

Now however we find that the influence of the so called woke is resulting in people in this country displaying a complete ignorance of even recent history, and basing their views on warped beliefs as to the events of the past.

That these false ideas abound among left wing activists, and, disastrously, among brainwashed schoolchildren, and even university graduates, can be seen from the constant, and casual, accusation that anyone opposed to their views are Nazis, and even lead to chants of 'Hitler was right' at demonstrations, as this proves that, in most cases, they have no real knowledge of the realities of the Third Reich, and of those who still espouse its evil policies.

It is therefore vital that an effort is made to convey to such people the real truth, in a dispassionate manner, and by someone who is non political, and respected, producing an account of what it was, and is, to be a Nazi. A visual presentation, accompanied by a leaflet, which would be compulsory viewing in schools, and universities, plus at least one showing on a national TV channel should constitute the minimum effort of such a campaign.

Although, with the exception of those deranged individuals who, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, deny that the Holocaust ever happened, most people with any knowledge of the period are aware that it did. I know because, quite apart from the photographic record available to anyone, I have actually met, and spoken with, a survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau, an experience which is becoming less possible with every passing year.

Unfortunately it is true that, as, in a quote perhaps misattributed to that arch cynic Stalin, although it certainly reflects his general outlook, 'A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic'. The number of victims involved in this crime against humanity is so vast it exceeds the comprehension of any reasonable person, so it is in the details relating to individuals that the genuine horror is revealed, and these should be included in the exposure of such evil:

• Survivors of Auschwitz reported that on one occasion they heard terrible screams, and discovered that, when the Nazis temporarily ran out of gas, they threw babies, and young children, directly into the furnaces.
• During the worst of the winter in Eastern Europe, Jewish people were made to stand naked for hours in freezing cold and snow, until they died of exposure
• Anyone captured trying to escape were locked into cells, and left to die of hunger and thirst
• Mothers in the conquered Eastern countries were made to hold their children in such a way that both could be murdered by a single bullet
• Executions by such methods as crucifixion were common, while the torture of prisoners, including captured soldiers, and resistance fighters, who were finally killed, was habitual.
• Innocents were used as hostages, and then shot, at the behest of local Nazi commanders.
• Entire villages such as Lidice in Poland, and Oradour-sur-Marne in France were totally destroyed by the SS, often the inhabitants being locked into churches, which were then set on fire, or else transported to concentration camps. Hundreds died.
  
  

There is no hope of converting those adults whose insane antisemitism is irradicable, but surely most youngsters, if made aware of the above, would be shamed into recognising that they have been misled, and would recant, while those ordinary people who have little interest in history would be awakened to the evil which recent anti Jewish propaganda seeks to revive. If not then our society is truly doomed.
