The Ethnic Cleansing Of Germans After WW2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJWETG6vAgA> The Allied victory in 1945 brought relief and joy to Europe, but to some people it was the start of a new nightmare. As the Allies celebrated their victory over the genocidal Nazi regime, Europe was experiencing the start of another ethnic cleansing that would target millions of people purely because of the way they were born or the language they spoke. Millions of innocent people would be removed from their ancestral homes, stripped of their rights and dignity, and told that they deserved it. Torture, rape, and murder awaited hundreds of thousands of them.
Lies of omission are often more powerful that an outright lie.
I remember when I learned as a young man that following the US entrance to WW1 many German immigrants were persecuted. Tarred and feathered. Some killed. I had never heard this before. Even though my great grandfather was a German immigrant.
We humans fail to learn the lessons from history. Everyone suffers from war. Except the elites. The politicians and the bankers/corporate overlords. It struck me at the time I learned about this how Bin Laden is said to have stated that there are no innocent people in the US because they did nothing to stop the US wars in the holy land. That's one way to view the world I guess. It clearly isn't new. Its as old as time and leads to never ending bloodshed.
