Yep. Some people defend Irish President de Valera‘s actions there by pointing out that Ireland was neutral. And that’s how neutrals were supposed to behave.
That doesn’t hold water. Many death camps had been liberated by that time. People knew just how evil Hitler was. de Valera did more than ignore that. He actually called the initial death camp reports Allied propaganda.
Add that to my post #7, and I must conclude that something is very wrong in the Emerald Isle.

I get it, the English were bad to the Irish, I’ve even referred to the Potato Famine as a genocide, because England wanted to reduce the Irish population.
But still, to turn a blind eye to Hitler because of it, was ridiculous.
