In 1943 there was an uprising and liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto. It was then when the Jewish orphanage was sent to Ozwientzim and with them went Henrich Goldhsmidt, alias Janush Korchack, the Jewish author and humanist, the Saint of the Children’s education. Hey, the previous Pope was Polish and the current one is German; how about granting a Sainthood to the hero of Warsaw? Not a word in response. Ok, how about the Medal of Freedom post-mortem? It takes a village to raise a child? Hillary, the official kid-lover, why doesn’t she mention Janush Korchak ever? I know why. She does not bother to know. Nothing can be gained by that knowledge.
Nothing can be gained by the knowledge about Mother Maria, the Russian nun in the Ravensbruck camp for women, the knowledge about Red Capellla, the communist – sympathizing underground in the Nazi Germany or by the knowledge about Russian general Dmitri Karbushev who was taken out by his German captors in winter and hosed until he froze to death. Of course, if our torturer in Iraq who forced an Iraqi general into the sack and then sat on him knew about general Karbushev’s fate he might not be able to do what he did and that’s no good for the war on terror, right? Besides, who cares about the fate of the mongoloid commies like Patton called them?
But here they are wrong, our unfortunate characters with chromium blood. Knowledge is power. Like that knowledge about the Vansee conference. There is such a resort in Germany. In 1943 the Nazi elite had a conference there. They relaxed and discussed the ‘final solution of the Jewish question’. You know, when they decided to eliminate them all. And they declared that ‘Jews do not belong to the usual justice system but from now on are the subjects of the administrative methods of the Gestapo.’ That simple. Enemy combatants. People excluded from life. Subjects. When we look at Chertoff’s face, remember Vansee. Remember that Gestapo was the German Homeland Security! Remember what was done to the ‘subjects of Gestapo’. You will not find that in the official speeches. As you will never find any honoring of the Roma people, homosexuals, mentally disabled and communists who died in those death camps together with the Jews. Nope, you will not find that. Subjects been forgotten.
In 1943 Hitler tightened his grip over the the Southern France (French fleet sunk itself in Toulon in November 1942) and the Jews there learned an infamous name of Drancy, the railway station from which they were transported to Treblinka. Another name, huh? Vasily Grossman was there when Russians liberated it and he saw the ashes, lots of it. Ashes was used to fertilize the fields. Some people now want to use the human fat as an energy source. They are not original; the patent was filed before them. Those Jews, they payed for their transportation, you know. Some even bought the first class tickets. They were told that the train would bring them to Switzerland. Jews are not all smart folks. They are like everyone else.
In 1943 Italy pulled out of the war and Mussolini was arrested. Germans responded by occupying the North and in the buffer Republic of Salo the Jews were doomed. With all that I was always wondering why did the British firebomb Hamburg and Dresden but never touched Vansee? What was so precious about that resort? Maybe some company had investments there like Bush and Co. family had investments in the German heavy industry? For some strange reason the Allies could destroy the only heavy water facility in Norway but never destroyed the chemical companies who produced enough Cyclon-B to gas all those people. Knowledge is power. It enables associative thinking. Our folks did not find the WMD in Iraq because the only WMD- components there were supplied by us. That simple.
In 1943 my grandfather was in Iran with the Russian contingent and contracted malaria for life. In 1943 Russian physicist Fleorov was commandeered from the Army to join the start of Russian Nuclear project. Yes, lots of things happened in 1943 and many of those teach us a lot. They teach us hope and survival. They teach us perseverance. And they also teach us one thing common for all those heroes I have mentioned. That thing is revealed in the famous Battle Anthem of the Russian Army, The Holy War:
-Let the Noble Rage raise like a wave
The Noble Rage, that’s it. We must have it to get rid of our evil. We must cultivate it, develop it, nurture. It is noble to hate Bush. It is noble to hate Cheney. It is noble to condemn the war. It is noble to state that our troops will become ours only if they return home; otherwise they are Bush’s. It is noble to despise McCaine, that undead who wants more dead. It is noble to know that the WWII was won by Russians and that in no way dishonors our heroes who died in it. It is noble to call a crime a crime, a crook a crook, a villain a villain. It is noble to expose the evil of our own. It is noble to fight for peace. It is noble to know the truth.
On this very day, on the anniversary of one of the most horrible days in the history of the mankind I ask you all for the only one thing- learn your history, people. It is worth it. Then you will know the name of one of the biggest concentration camps the GIs had liberated in Europe. It was Buchenwald. And on the gates of Buchenwald they saw a statement, 'Jedem das Seine'. It means 'Everyone gets what he deserves.' Think about it.
