The e-mail said that the following article was published in a Spanish newspaper on January 15, 2008 and was written by Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez---
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent.
We destroyed the Chosen People, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world.
These are the people we burned.
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism, and lack of tolerance, crime, and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
Yes.
That’s why I think studying history of one’s country is important. We are not responsible for the past. But it’s good to have a good understanding of what happened, why it happened, and who was responsible at the time for it happening.
I have posted this many times, but it cannot be posted enough.
I remember some phenomenal figure of Soviet people who died. Apparently, women started becoming doctors there because there weren’t enough men after the war.
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.
Henry Ford was notoriously anti-Semitic.
The numbers I remember are “Stalin’s Purges - 20 million” and “The War - another 20 million”.
It was supposed to be a merger and he'd still be the top manager and sit on the board.
Ford continued to have problems with Jews ~ Tony left and found better things to do than futz around with lingering antisemitism at Ford.
That’s exactly what Liberals are trying to do in the United States. Many fail to recognize that nationalism is not a bad thing, it’s the socialism and communism that are and were the cause.
I remember hearing stories of atrocities against Jewish prisoners in Germany as early as 1941 or 1940 , when I was a boy in America. America was in denial at the time.
There's some interesting history attached to the pedigree of their ideas and the outlook that that is part and parcel of their culture. Carroll Quigley, over the course of some 5 pages of his landmark Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, described what he called The Pakistani-Peruvian Axis, a combination of Asiatic despotism alloyed with the Arabic outlook. As you read through the responses, it'll become evident that some of the participants in this forum completely failed to understand what he was getting at. Based upon our history of our correspondence, I think that it'll make perfect sense to you. Quigley's analysis is stunning, mainly owing to the fact that it makes perfect sense of the behavior that we see along that axis. The implications for our own fragile civilization are disturbing. See what you think.
When my mom told me what happened in Germany, I was devastated. She always prayed for the Jewish souls who died in Europe and for forgiveness of the souls who did the killing. Since I wanted to pray with her, she had to explain what happened. I was around 6. She prayed for the Jews living in Isreal.
It’s a stain on “western culture” if by that you mean European culture and the culture’s like “the American culture” created out of European expats, and when you accept that ALL the antecdents, core sources and influences for antisemtism in “western culture” come from “European” culture.
One has to also recognize that antisemtism in “western culture” is and remains less prevalent in “western culture” where the location is outside of “European culture” today.
“The USA turned back rescue ships that made it across the Atlantic- wouldnt let them land.” And most of them went to the ovens. Later the USA along with some Roman Catholic Bishops helped Post-war German Nazi criminals escape persecution. A sad fact of history.
Yes. You are right.
In North American, anti-semitism was much less then in Europe.
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?
There’s nothing wrong or guilt-generating about having an accurate understanding of history. If you don’t have a good understanding as to what happened and why, there’s a good chance of another event like this happening again.
There’s almost nobody alive in the age range that would have had a hand in it, so almost nobody is responsible for what happened back then now. The youngest would have been born in the 1910-1920 range.
How many people do you know over 90?
