I am not disputing the 6 miilion Jews who were murdered. I could
hardly do that since my 3 children are Jewish. However, recognition
must be given for the fate of millions of Germans who were murdered by
the allies after formal hostilities ended.

>Stalin and Roosevel of course were responsible for the greatest
"ethnic cleansing" in history, the expulsion of milions of Germans
from eastern Europe, resulting in the murder of 3 or 4 million human<

Ron

If you don't want to see this get on to the forum I will quite understand

The maths here has to be wrong: 6 million is larger than 3-4 million and so
not the 'greatest ethnic cleansing in history'

Oh, guys ...!

Thanks for the consideration, Heather.

Well, this topic, although being somewhat relevant to everything that deals with
humanity, is not strictly on-topic.  I understand everyone's reactions, but let
this be a sideline.  After all, this ought not be a competition of atrocities or
innocence.  It's bad enough that it's still going on, bad enough if even it
affected only a few people.

There seems to be something irritating in the air today.  Or is it only the
summer heat in the Northern Hemisphere?

Peace!
Reinhard/Ron
