That's the first I ever heard of that....do you have a link for that?
Villages were not allowed to go to Church unless they paid a Jew, who had the key.

History / The Warsaw Uprising memory. To remember who you are. [180]
You all know what?
We are all survivors here....we can only here talk with each other (and insult each other) because our families somehow made it through!
Okay...the end of the Cold War and the discovery of the Internet might have something to do with that too....but that would mean nothing if our own parents/grandparents hadn't proven to be stronger or smarter or luckier than many others and survived....

Are you saying my mother was guilty?
Following that thought one could say the Jews deserved the Holocaust because of what jewish communists and jewish bankers allegedly did.....
Nothing is clear!
And no, it isn't only the scale, it's the INTENT what counts....
It means that Germans as those who waged an unjust war even if they suffered in consequence of it.....

Why? Iron and me were discussing which mass murder would count as genocide and which not....
Or you are looking for justifications for mass murder....that is a slippery path, it could end in a Holocaust and many people thinking the victims deserved their fate!

I don't believe in Karma at all....
Chancellor Kohl once talked about the "Gnade der späten Geburt"....the "mercy of a late birth"...it has more merit....we were lucky enough not to be born in this time in these places, thats all.

For whom? There were only women and children left...
My grandmother took the "trek" with four little girls, my mother was only 1 year old.....what karma had she to work off? The "wrong" ethnicity?
I told ya, Iron....it's a grey area....the Germans were targeted because they were Germans...many died...it still wasn't a Holocaust!

....there are alot grey areas where things overlap, Iron....then the intention counts, I think.
If the Soviets did go after the polish farmers because they were Poles then it would have been genocide, but then you could call the ethnic cleansing of Germans in the new after-war-borders that too...where to draw the line?

Well....isn't it always that way?
Popular people count more....at least popular in the West, we still rule the news and the social media.
I'm sure there is somewhere in the world a mass murder going on right now...and we will never know...because nobody in the West is truly interested (at least not enough to do more than just shrugging).

....not many people care about these ones....probably because not many people care about Tutsi's, Uighurs or Tigrayans!
But anti-semitism is still alive and well, and many Jew-hater in the West would like to see Israel eradicated....and Israel has been a consequence of the Holocaust....deny the Holocaust and it is much easier to deny Israel it's right to exist and to fight for it's survival ("poor opressed Arabs" and all that).
It is all still connected, the very old Jew-hate and the very new...that's why it is still talked about and discussed in a way the others aren't, it's probably for many people still more actual than the others.

If Katyn would had been a genocide after the official definition the Soviets would had gone for the wives and children of these officers too...just for being related to them, belonging to the same ethnicity, to the same people....
But they were after the "Intelligentsia", to destroy a possible/probable future resistance at the roots with killing the hearts and brains of it. There IS a difference! The common farmer, as long as they pledged their loyalty, had not much to fear from the Soviets....the Jews were never even given that choice!
It was the horrible consequence of medical euthanasia! And that was real hot stuff back then and seriously discussed by scientists...the idea to weed out the sick and the "unfitting" with pills and injections was a much thrown around and talked about idea in this time (also in the US and elsewhere in the modern West)....that's what Hitler build on I think....Auschwitz didn't spring out of the sick brain of one lone deranged maniac, I fear....

Agreed! In Germany they had more than enough "Mitläufer"....on both sides...
After 1945, the occupiers were Polish collaborators.

Don't! There is no need to...
We Ossis pitied the soviet soldiers stationed in the GDR....Now and then some tried to flee their "barracks" and tried to hide to just get away...
As I grew up we hated our own miserable commie party brigade but not the Soviets....we had no reason...we lived better than them and had way more freedoms than them, and that is saying alot.
But still, to be stationed in East-Germany was coveted by these soldiers, they were seen as an elite...and we had a living standard they could only dream of!
That had most occupation troops together I think, in East- and West Germany...the common soldier-Joe and the common soldier-Ivan...experiencing a tidy country (after everything was cleaned up and rebuild)!
And that's why I respect the Soviets more.

..."inviting" is abit stretching it....but I get what you mean...
Thing is, the people who want to come now have helped the western allies and are now under threat from the Taliban because of it....reminds be abit about Vietnam after the end...
But on the other hand, if they all leave who is left to fight the crazies? I mean, for decades other countries have fighted their war...they should start a resistance...there should be enough weapons and experience around by now...
Ach....I dunno....

Thank you, will look for it...
....there won't be much left afterwards....you can't have it both ways Crowie....demanding that Central Europeans are all germanized Slavs and want them to remember their true past and rebuild Sarmatia and still treating them like your worst enemy, like cancer...that's a truly dumb move, that way lays your defeat, the reason you don't make any progress at all!
It's from a book "Armia Berlinga"
Thank you, will look for it...
Probably cancer just need to be cut-off.

Why no mercy? We are your slavic/sarmatian brethren after all....you can't reeducate corpses! Quite the contrary, the surviving germanized Sarmatians might become unwilling to listen to you and re-discover their true roots if you only show them revenge and cruelty....
