"The term `racism' has a generic meaning today, denoting social ostracism of
outgroups, or in the worst case scenario, depicting an act of savagery meted out
by some race or some warring party to another race or ethnic group. In the
standard usage today the word `racism' is not necessarily a referent for a
different skin color, or a depiction of someone's high or low cognitive ability.
As a result of constant semantic shifts the word `racism' is used to describe a
form of barbarism, generally viewed as despicable and contrary to the most basic
norms of human conduct.
If one accepts this very general and generic definition of racism, then the
German people, shortly after WWII, became a prime victim of the most massive
form of racism and racial discrimination — unseen and unheard of at any time in
the history of mankind. The scope of terror inflicted to the German people
during the Allied firebombing of German cities, the degree of suffering
experienced by millions of German civilians in Eastern Europe in the aftermath
of the war, goes beyond human imagination. By its scope and its sophistication
this peculiar type of cruelty against Germans is hardly comparable to any
earlier tragedy of any other race or ethnicity in Africa or Asia during colonial
times. It had clear racial, linguistic and judicial overtones still awaiting an
objective scholarly examination.
Numerous books have been published by prominent authors, including the well-
known American legal scholar Alfred de Zayas, the German historian Franz W.
Seidler, and the Canadian historian James Bacque on the expulsion of Germans,
the policy of starving of hundreds of thousands of surrendered German soldiers
along the Rhine river that was carried out by the Allied commander Dwight
Eisenhower, the grand theft of German property, mass rapes of over 2 million
German women by Soviet soldiers, slave labor of captured young German children,
etc. Yet most of these books, although based on solid forensic research and
physical evidence, are barely accessible, and they are never mentioned in higher
education in the USA and in Europe.
Germany's European allies, such as Hungary, or the wartime France, dearly paid
their collaboration with Germany too. Few French students, let alone American
students, know that over 70,000 French civilians perished under American bombs
from 1942 to 1944. They cannot be blamed, as there are no sites of commemoration
for the bombs' victims in France. Tiny Croatia, which remained the loyal ally of
Germany to the last day of WWII, paid a heavy price too, losing the best part of
its gene pool, after its middle class had been wiped out by Yugoslav Communists.
Although considered today the most beautiful country in Europe and a prime
tourist destination, Croatia is essentially a huge graveyard. In 1945 it became
the largest communist killing field of ethnic Germans and Croats in Europe (see
here and here).
It is still common in the Karst area in the mountains of southern Croatia to
stumble upon small ravines and pits with rusted German helmets, rosary beads and
scattered bones. Beyond the carnage of WWII and its immediate aftermath, the
root causes of the recent interethnic war in the Balkans are the direct outcome
of forcible Allied creation at Yalta and Potsdam of the artificial multicultural
entity known as Yugoslavia.
The question that comes to mind is: Why is this unique form of racism against
Germans not debated in public as is for instance the plight of Jews during WWII?
While acknowledging that others suffered greatly during WWII and that Germany
also committed large-scale atrocities against others, one still wonders: Why are
the enormous crimes against the Germans simply not discussed?"
