Headteacher gives talk on Holocaust (From Watford Observer)

Calling him a Nazi war criminal maybe problematic as according to Wilkipedia:
'Since his conviction was pending appeal at the time of his death (in March 2012) Demjanjuk remains presumed innocent under German law, and his earlier conviction is invalidated. According to the Munich state court, Demjanjuk does not have a criminal record.'

Mrs Hyde is seemingly something of an "expert" on the Holocaust. Though Mike Ribble seems to have caught her out.

So much so that she almost trips over herself in her efforts to prevent information about the ethnic cleansing of historical Palestine at gunpoint in order to provide "Lebensraum" for relatives of roughly half the people murdered by the Nazis being disseminated to pupils of her school.

It is interesting that while promoting her narrowly focused version of events, Mrs Hyde never has much to say about the other half of the people paying the ultimate price for their "difference", the Polish Catholics, the Roma, the homosexuals, the trade unionists, the communist, the disabled people and all those others who did not follow the Jewish faith.

Actually Harry, the catholics generally did ok under the nazis; the pope supported them and they used their network after the war (the same one still used to protect Peados to this day) to hide war criminals.

And I agree, there is another holocaust going on in Palestine right now where people of the jewish faith are doing exactly what was done to them in the 1930s central Europe.
The majority of course, are decent people, just wanting to live their lives and get on, and I would never judge a people by the acts of a few.

But, hell they make it hard work.

I think the experiences of the Catholic church during WW2 does show how at a certain level it takes more interest in its own image, tradition etc. than with following the word of God. However whilst higher echelons may have been 'cozy' if that is the word with our enemies many priests etc. put themselves at risk and indeed died protecting people the Nazi's sought and many Catholics died resisting and fighting them directly.

As you said LSC you shouldn’t judge the whole on the actions of a few.

With regards this talk I don’t know the lady but this was a talk specifically about her relatives and how they faired during the holocaust, the tragic happenings in Palestine/Israel since (which lets not forget before we get too high and mighty the British were VERY involved in) or the sufferings other groups went through (including many catholics LSC, or is that okay because the Pope was best mates with Adolf?) werent the subject matter so she shouldn’t be castigated for not mentioning them.

I wasn’t there (were you Mike and Harry?) so it might be the WO that decided to use the term war criminal. Even if the term she used rather pedantic to be picking her up on it isnt it? I get the impression, willing to be put right on this, that in this country if youre convicted of something you remain convicted even if you appeal until the appeal has been upheld

The holocaust was a horrendous event in this worlds history, its quite right that it shouldn’t be forgotten amongst other reasons because yes it does reflect on the behaviour of many states and individuals today and it’s a disgrace that people should be turning this into some sort of personal vendetta against an individual.
