"No country severed relations with the Nazi government because it was
composed of murderers. The Nazi murders were merely internal affairs
and there were plenty of apologists for the persecutions of the Jews.
But the apologists of the persecutions are in some measure guilty of
what happened in Lublin.
"To many persons Marshal Petain is still an elegant old gentleman and
touching figure. Yet his government knew what it was doing when it
rounded up, first German refugees, and later anti-Nazi French Jews and
delivered them to the gestapo. The mass murderers presented a list and
the Vichy government delivered the list. Can their hands be altogether
washed of the blood spilled in Lublin?
"And how about the countries that barred their frontiers, when these
people, for 10 full years, before and during the war, were trying to
escape from doom? Ships full of them floated like flying Dutchmen in
an oceanic void, and no harbor would receive them.
"The guilt lies also with those who actively collaborated with the
crimes without endorsing them, washing their hands of blood and
publicly whitewashing the criminals.
"Every individual bears a responsibility for the whole of mankind.
Human civilization is based on the recognition of that responsibility.
The moment anyone denies this responsibility he makes himself an
accomplice of humanity's crimes."[41]
"We can't lull ourself to the idea that we now are immune from
subversive order. We cannot feel sure and depend upon it that we are
safe anywhere from money, wealth, and power grasping gangsters. Some
of them get into high places of government. Germany was considered
Christian, a highly educated, and cultured country; yet a gang of
berserk criminals calling themselves supermen banded together to
control the government, first taking the property and wealth away
from their defenseless innocent Jewish minority and killing them,
then subjugating their supine people. Other despotic gangsters with
their strong-arm torturing secret gangster police are now in control
of governments of some of our nations and are holding its peoples in
bondage, and in forced slave labor. The perfidy and hypocrisy of those
in government power of some of our nations has become so aggravated,
that humane benevolence, and justice have become a sham and completely
vanished.
"With our new death-dealing, destructive armaments and our annihilating
atomic power, how can we tell when some cruel gang dictatorship
government may enslave us, our children, and our coming generations?
Our people who may read this, what assurance and security have they
that a similar sinister, or worse fate and calamity will not befall
them, and maybe sooner than they expect? It happened and is now
occurring in certain countries of our world, we have many subversives
who eagerly are waiting for the opportunity to overthrow, head, and
control our government.
