Property Restitution 50 Million Uncompensated WWII Losers Hayes

How Was It Possible?: A Holocaust Reader, by Peter Hayes (Contributor). 2015

Not Only the Jews Lost Property. Did You Know That 50 Million Human Beings Became Homeless Because of WWII?

The very title of this book partakes of the mystification of the Holocaust: It tacitly assumes that the Nazi genocide of the Jews is some kind of cosmic event in need of a profound explanation, while the multitudes of non-Jewish genocides implicitly are not and do not. After all, almost no one writes books asking “How was it possible that there was a genocide of: Poles, Armenians, Herrero, or (fill-in the blank)”. What does this tell us?

Many technical issues in this book are raised in my comments under this review.

A VERY UNOBJECTIVE PORTRAYAL OF THE POLISH BLUE POLICE (POLICJA GRANATOWA)

A major shortcoming of this book is the inclusion of Jan Grabowski and his disastrous portrayal of the mostly non-collaborationist POLICJA GRANATOWA. For corrective, see Comments. The reader interested in an objective portrayal of the situation facing Poles and Jews, in Dabrowa Tarnowska County, in Nazi-German-occupied Poland, should read KRWAWE UPIORY.

FINALLY, A MEASURE OF JUSTICE TO ALL VICTIMS OF NAZI GERMAN CRIMINALITY

Author Peter Hayes give the reader of this volume a welcome break from the usual Judeocentric preoccupation with Jewish sufferings. The reader is reminded of the truly staggering scale of overall human suffering caused by WWII. Hayes writes, “Nazi aggression brought unprecedented destruction and upheaval to Europe between 1939 and 1945. Thirty-six and one-half million Europeans died from war-related causes, over half of them civilians. At least fifty million persons became homeless. By 1943, thirty million inhabitants had been uprooted and transplanted, and that was before the Red Army’s advance toward Berlin set millions more in motion.” (pp. 258-259).

The usual complaints nowadays, promoted by the Holocaust Industry [notably after the voice-vote passage of .S447 by the U. S. Government], about millions of properties of murdered Jews falling into the hands of gentiles (“unjust enrichment”), now come into perspective. In fact, these complaints are almost surreal–in view of the fact of over 30 million transplanted and 50 million WWII homeless!
