Relatives of mine risked their lives trying to rescue Jews from Nazi concentration camps/death camps in the aftermath of WWII - none of them EVER received as much as a Thank you from the Jews.
I doubt it. Jewish groups have celebrated those who gave post war aid. "Risked their lives?"
Instead, the Jews killed Folke Bernadotte.
The Jews didn't do this any more than Quisling represents all Scandinavians.
Im not a racist or I dont hate Jews, but do not come asking us for favors again.
I didn't realize that living with the same safety as other Swedes. Then again, some people seem to think that all Jews are responsible for any crime committed by an Jew anywhere.
The Jews and the Arabs have too much in common.
Wjere are the Jewish rape gange is Swedish cities?
Unfortunately I have not time to get deeply involved in this discussion concerning my old hometown. However, there are a few statements and misconceptions regarding the history of Folke Bernadotte and the White Buses I would like to comment.
1) Western Culture’s relatives who took part in the rescue operation certainly would have risked their lives. The buses had to traverse several areas in Germany that were exposed to Allied bombing raids. According to a story (in German unfortunately: Demokratische_Geschichte_Band_02_Essay11-1.pdf) about the White Buses several Swedes were killed during the bombing raids.
2) After the rescue Count Bernadotte received several hundreds of letters from grateful rescuees and people grateful for his actions. These letters are retained in the State Archives (Riksarkivet). That Western Culture’s relatives never got any personal thanks (during the actual rescue operation , one presumes) may possibly be explained by the story related in the same document quoted above.
Basically the rescuers were totally naïve about what the prisoners had endured, and the prisoners - especially the Jewish ones - were terrified of the ambulances, since they knew what use closed vehicles had been put to in other camps.
3) To call Count Bernadotte “the best friend the Jews ever had” is stretching things quite a bit. Firstly, the rescue action was not mainly concerned with Jewish prisoners, but with Scandinavian detainees - Jewish or Gentile. Later on more non-Scandinavians, especially women, were rescued.
Folke Bernadotte’s own political position has been widely discussed by historians. At best considered “very conservative”, at worst openly sympathetic to the Nazi cause.
His friendship and later defence in the war crime trials of Walter Schellenberg, Second-in-command of the Gestapo, head of the SD and the Abwehr, and successor of Wilhelm Canaris as the head of the Combined Secret Services, hardly served to show him in a good light. Very difficult to square a close friendship with an SS- and Gestapo-officer, with friendship of the Jewish people. (Of course, that does not justify the assassination of Count Bernadotte, but that really should go without saying.)
If WC follows his (or her) usual form, he’ll have run now that he has been confronted with the illogic of his positions.
