But, there are number that deny the deportation was an example of targeted ethno-racial repression. Instead people like Francine Hirsch and Amir Weiner claim it was political and based upon legitimate security justifications and had no racial component whatsoever. This is the established orthodox academic party line in the US. If a US based historian made the same claim for the US internment of the Issei and Nissei he would be unemployed. <br /><br />J.

I mean to say that you have insightfully applied history to improve the human condition, unlike the glut of Cultural Marxist professors calling night day and calling evil good.<br /><br />Can you address all of the rioting and street battles by what is called "Antifa" or "Antifascists" in American cities particularly in university towns?<br /><br /><br />Bravo, your blog makes me think, think again, and think some more.derRachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144233067868077338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858950.post-92037448467727048632017-08-27T16:20:15.587+03:002017-08-27T16:20:15.587+03:00To paraphrase Madeleine Albright, do they think it...To paraphrase Madeleine Albright, do they think it was worth it?<br /><br />First they came for the Volhynia Germans in July 1915, then they came for all ethnic Germans in August 1941. If this is not premeditated long-term genocide of the ethnic German people living within Russia, whether the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union, then what is?<br /><br />Just because an individual has German blood running in their veins, does not justify the wholesale deportations to arctic conditions and their mass murder.<br /><br />Did not Madeleine Albright says it was indeed worth it?<br /><br />Can you grant me permission to repost your essay to another website?<br /><br />I also want to thank you much for posting this information online.
