Well... having lived in Central Europe for many years, I have found that there is a trend to refer to the culprits of the Holocaust and other atrocities as “Nazis”, as if they were a separate category of people, and the most infamous of death camps (Auschwitz) as a “Polish concentration camp”. I thought Freepers would find the article as sad (and revealing) as I did.
I prefer “Nazi”, because as I pointed out, it’s not fair to just single out Germans, when in fact, Austrians made up a significant number of Nazis.
Just as (and I am guilty of this myself sometimes), to refer to the Soviet Union as “Russia”, or those who committed horrible crimes under the banner of the Soviet Union as “Russians”, when in fact, Stalin was Georgian.
Thank you for posting the article. I had never heard of these archives before. Very sad.
