Talk:Nemesis at Potsdam

message: I have removed the labels.  It is Yopie who is guilty of vandalism here, not Dr. Lohne.  Yopie seems to be the only person who imposes unjustified labels on this article.  He is the one who has an axe to grind.  He has not added anything of substance to the article or to the discussion -- just wants to assail the objectivity of the article without giving any reasons.  What does he mean by "weasel" terms?  What is clear to me is that Yopie has no respect for the opinions of others, that every time that someone removes the labels, within two hours he has reinstated them -- and then has the gall to accuse others of "vandalism".  As Raymond Lohne noted, Yopie is himself a Czech and his country bears responsibility for the crimes very objectively described in "Nemesis at Potsdam".  These are issues that historians must yet tackle -- but in the same balanced and methodically correct manner in which de Zayas does it.  I recommend the "50 Theses on the Expulsion of the Germans from Central and Eastern Europe", which should be taught in every high school.Raymond Lohne, Ph.D. Columbia College Chicago70.89.220.194 (talk) 13:24, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  De Zayas is generally recognized as a neutral expert on matters of genocide, expulsion and ethnic cleansing.  The Oxford Encyclopaedia of Public International Law (edited by the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg, Professor Rüdiger Wolfrum, Director) is now going online and it includes, among others the de Zayas entries on "Forced Population Transfer" and "Repatriation".

replies: text:  I am a Dutchman and I knew nothing at all about the expulsion of the Germans before I read de Zayas. It was like getting a cold shower // the Germans in the role of victims! The book proved fascinating reading. No one before de Zayas had bothered to interview the still living participants of the Potsdam Conference on this thorny issue. It is amazing that de Zayas managed to find and interview the author of article XIII of the Potsdam Conference, Sir Geoffrey Harrison, and the author of Article IX, Sir Denis Allen // these are the key articles concerning the Oder-Neisse Line and the expulsion of the Germans. The fact that Eisenhower's advisor Robert Murphy wrote the preface to this book lends it credibility. But, of course, the topic remains controversial and not everyone is willing to jump over his own shadow and accept this new perspective. 82.217.225.209 (talk) 06:05, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

text: The new handbook by Jakob Th. Möller (an Icelandic Judge) and de Zayas "The United Nations Human Rights Committee Case Law 1977-2008", N.P.Engel Publishers, Kehl/Strasbourg, 2009, includes the jurisprudence of the UN Human Rights Committee concerning the expropriation of and lack of restitution to Sudeten Germans, e.g. the judgement in the case Des Fours Walderode v. Czech Republic (2001), pp.435-439,  ISBN 978-3-88357-144-7. Terentius9 (talk) 07:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Even though the subject matter of "Nemesis at Potsdam" remains taboo, journalists do come back to it from time to time. So, for instance Patrick Buchanan in his syndicated column published on 13 and 14 April 2010 in some 300 newspapers in the US. Essentially Zayas wrote an amazingly compact summary of what happened, and put it in the right historical and political context, bringing in a tremendous number of previously unpublished archival sources and personal interviews with players like Robert Murphy and Sir Geoffrey Harrison. High schools, however, are still not teaching it -- only the occasional college seminar. Basically the subject matter has been swept under the carpet.193.239.220.249 (talk) 12:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

text: An IP user added a POV header without any explanation in the discussion page. What is his problem with this article? "Nemesis at Potsdam" remains a standard scholarly study and has had many editions, last one 2005, completely updated to meet recent scholarship, and was well reviewed in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and other serious journals.  193.239.220.249 (talk) 12:16, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

text: I own the 2003 edition of "Nemesis at Potsdam" with Picton Press in Rockland, Maine. Before that I believe there were a couple of editions with the University of Nebraska Press, and, of course, the original Routledge editions. Maybe someone can bring clarity here.  I also have the 2005 14th revised German edition "Die Nemesis von Potsdam", that is much enlarged over the original English version.Animus63 (talk) 18:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

text:  After a year and no concrete proposals in the discussion page I have removed the tag on the article. I do not see the "weasel" words, and the reviews of the book speak for themselves.66.104.252.226 (talk) 07:38, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Article is full of weasel words, as "effectively broke" and is written as advertisement, as there is no part about critics of this work.--Yopie (talk) 15:00, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
