Historiography and the Tragedies It Hides


The problem with the orthodox version of WWII history, is not the over-exaggerated guild of Germany and its crazy leader, but the fact that it had been used as a camouflage net to cover up the responsibilities of other states, armies, commanders, and political leaders! For example, everyone knows the awful story of the Holocaust, and yet almost no one asks why didn’t the Allies do anything to prevent or limit this terrible tragedy, while it was still going on? Nobody asks how many Jews became victims of Stalin’s terror over the peoples of the ex-Soviet Union. Nobody asks why Stalin began his own Holocaust after the end of WWII.

Experience shows, that the moment someone asks such questions he or she is usually blamed of being an anti-Semitist or being a Nazi. In fact this method had been in use so much, that it sparked a whole new wave of revision of the Holocaust itself. I really cannot understand how a person could be an anti-Semitist if this person is searching for, and trying to uncover more information about Jewish people who felt victim to the Soviet anti-Semitism? Perhaps someone wants to claim that murdering Jewish people in the Soviet labor camps was acceptable? I certainly hope NOT!

The question however does not end with the atrocities committed against the Jews, it only begins here. The victims of the Soviet Union include a wide group of ethnicities. The fundamental difference between the motives behind eliminating Jewish and other people between the National Socialism in the face of Germany and the International Socialism in the face of the Soviet Union was that according to the National socialists Jews were the rich exploiting class, which needed to be eliminated, while the International socialists claimed that it was not only Jews in that rich exploiting class but others as well, so they eliminated them all. May I ask here how come the International socialists were pardoned their international Holocaust while the National socialists were the only ones blamed for their international Holocaust? You may argue that the Soviets were not pardoned in what they did, but the fact remains that they still do not share the same “prison bench” together with the Nazis for the crimes they did against Jews and other people! This fact alone is enough to consider the Soviet atrocities “pardoned” simply because unless their atrocities are treated the same way as the Nazi atrocities, in our modern world this means nothing else but a “pardon”. This is an awful shame for our historiography; it is an inexcusable way to treat the memory of millions of people who felt victim to the International socialists.
