Just who does this guy mean by ‘’we’’? Humanity? Europe? Hey ,’’we’’, that is the United States, ended Auschwitz.
Who's talking? Hitler? Hitler and the Nazis killed the Jews, not Europe. Misplaced guilt trips are not helpful.
Off by a quarter-century.
All European life died in the mud of Verdun and the Somme.
Europe never recovered from The Great War.
Wouldn’t it be fun to know in which century the largest percentage of the worlds population was killed by “unnatural” causes? I would certainly guess that twentieth century had the highest numbers of those deaths, but percentage of population...
Don’t forget about the approximate 5 million non-Jews who were brutally murdered in the Holocaust.
Already posted and worth re-reading, not to speak of the ignorant replies asking “who we?”
I would add "and out of guilt replaced them..." etc.
I’d say WWII finished what WWI started. Hard to believe that in 30 years a whole continent practically extinguished the best part of it’s civilization.
European anti-Jewish and Jew hating sentiments were even more virulent than anti-Jewish sentiments among Muslims, before 1948.
The Holocaust was executed by Nazi germany but the conditions giving rise to it were created all across Europe over many centuries.
The Spanish writer is correct; he knows European history; he knows the Holocust is a stain on Europe, not just Germany.
Maybe old but a copy should still be forwarded to Liam Neeson and Michael Bloomberg, not that they would read it but only so they cannot later claim they were not warned.

I think the people of Europe are beginning to wake up to the trap that we are now falling into.
It’s too late. Demographics paint a very disturbing picture.
Before the year 2025 Muslims will be the majority in Europe.
And more disturbing is that the majority will be youths while the most non muslim Europeans will be headed toward old age.
It’s too late.
Seems to me that the going rate of exchange (value) is >1,000 muzzies for one Jew. Europe got a bad deal at only 20:6.
I have posted this many times, but it cannot be posted enough.
The tragedy is that Nationalism became synonymous with Nazism, out of fear of appearing to be like the Nazis, Europe decided that multiculturalism would be an improvement.
Petty politics in this country and in England decided not to intervene, not to bomb Auschwitz or the rail lines leading there. Petty politics, documented in the book referred to in #23. Is this what is being defended above?
One side note. When the Allies divided Germany after the war, the Russkies had to invent for their propaganda purposes some way to refer to their Germans in the East as the good guys, as opposed to the Western Allies’ bad Germans in the Western Sectors. The Soviets understood the critical importance and power of the language to people’s perceptions (unlike many of us here today.) And so, they invented the Nazis. Accordingly, the Nazis were in the West, while Germans were in the East. The meme caught on beyond the Soviets wildest expectations. To this day, and on this very thread, it is the Nazis, not the Germans, who murdered the Jews, while it was the still living Poles, the Ukrainians, the Latvians, etc, who many Americans believe assisted those space aliens, who are no longer with us, “ the Nazis”. One of many successes of the Soviet propaganda machine in the West.
It is absurd and misleading to say that the Nazis did this or that, as not all Germans were the members of the ruling Party.
Soon the Christians will be gone too.
