Culture of Death Nazism Now LEWACTWO Aly

Cleansing the Fatherland: Nazi Medicine and Racial Hygiene, by Götz Aly, Peter Chroust, Christian Pross, Michael H. Kater (contributor), Belinda Cooper (translator). 1994

German Guilt Diffusion Spurned. Not Only Jews: Murdered Poles Were Also Exploited for Gold Crowns. The Culture of Death: Abortion and Euthanasia: Like Nazism Like Today’s Political Left

This fascinating book has myth-shattering implications. For example:

NATIONAL SOCIALISM–AN ALL-AROUND CULTURE OF DEATH (NOT ONLY AGAINST JEWS)

Nazism has often been misunderstood. Pross comments: “Anti-Semitism and racism can no longer be identified as the only driving forces behind Nazi politics…” (p. 14). An unknown number (in the thousands) of handicapped and infirm Germans were put to death. (pp. 91-92).

NO GERMAN GUILT DIFFUSION: BROAD-BASED GERMAN CRIMINALITY

The Nazis are often misrepresented as a thin layer of fanatic madmen ruling over the otherwise innocent German masses. The facts are otherwise. It is untrue that doctors and scientific practitioners who actively practiced Nazi doctrines were just a few monsters such as Joseph Mengele, the Auschwitz “Angel of Death”. In actuality, many educated Germans could be listed who acted in comparable manner. (e. g., see p. 147).

NOT ONLY THE NAZI LEADERSHIP–“ORDINARY” GERMAN POLOKAUST WISHES

The anatomist Hermann Voss is particularly instructive. He wrote some human-anatomy books that have been widely used for decades, even in translation into other languages. He continued teaching anatomy well after WWII, and died in his 90’s, having escaped justice for his crimes. During WWII, he was stationed in Posen (German-occupied Poznan). He kept a chilling diary during WWII, which has survived. It included transparently genocidal comments, such as the complaints that the Slavs are multiplying too rapidly, and that all Polish people should be exterminated. (pp. 105-106, 127-128, 130, 132).

THE POLOKAUST: NOT ONLY JEWS WERE EXPLOITED FOR GOLD IN TEETH, ETC. SO WERE POLES

The considerable attention given, in western countries, to the Holocaust [Holocaust supremacism and Holocaust preeminence] has facilitated the rise of distortions about Nazi actions. For instance, the typical American learns of the gold being pulled from murdered Jews before the latter were fed to the crematoria. This is part of the mystification of the Holocaust

The typical American is never told that Jewish bodies were not the only ones exploited (as by removal of gold crowns). Gold teeth and crowns were also removed from the bodies of Nazi-murdered Poles. (p. 136). The bodies of Nazi-murdered Poles were used in classes on dissection. (e. g., pp. 135-136, p. 147). So were the heads of guillotined Polish Resistance fighters. (p. 143). Most ghoulish of all is the fact that the preserved bodies of Polish resistance fighters are probably being used in Germany today. (p. 141). Otherwise Poles, no less than Jews, were cremated after being murdered. (pp. 130-132).

THE CULTURE OF DEATH UPDATED. NAZISM PROMOTED ABORTION AND EUTHANASIA. SO DOES TODAY’S POLITICAL LEFT (INCLUDING THE LEWACTWO)

On another subject, the authors of this anthology strike raw nerves as they relate modern practices to the Nazi medicine of over 70 years ago. This includes the abortion of babies deemed “undesirable” for whatever professed reason. (pp. 54-55). The modern euthanasia movement is also scrutinized, including its rationalizations about the “quality of life”, the “right to die”, and the “senselessness of prolonging suffering.” While analyzing “worthless life” considerations under Nazism, Aly concludes that: “Orienting the euthanasia discussion toward the individual case suits a modern, secular society attempting to overcome its inability to deal with death…Death wishes depend upon material conditions, as well as upon whether a society classifies suffering and death as superfluous misery…Such debates produce desperate, self-destructive desires that are transformed into new, apparently individual arguments in an expanding campaign for the destruction of life.” (p. 28). Indeed!

Christian Pross uses even stronger language as he comments: “In contemporary Germany, dramatic official rhetoric about the ‘cost explosion’ in health care and continuous cuts in spending have produced new prophets of euthanasia.” (p. 3). The perceptive American reader can recognize similar considerations in Obamacare (and its successors), including the question of “death panels” that decide the fate of sick and elderly patients.
