mr dahn i would be only too happy to deal only with facts tabsaving lives against the odds the pressure and the sheer logic if one is criminally antisemitic through and through is a fact sir tabdismantling the iron guard a declared antisemitic and pro german organization is another paradox tabmarying a jewish lady as an antisemit doesn t make sense taballowing the jewish community to have official representatives to befriend at least one of them the lider of that community and to lend him an attentive ear and to let him convince you to change some of the previously issued orders and laws does not again fit into an antisemitic profile taballowing some of the deported jews in transnistria to be repatriated is not again an act of an atisemite it is another unprecedented act can you quote one single similar occurrence in an europe under the german boot please explain this my request is not rethorical i do agree on your superior erudition in the matter for all i know you might be a historian whereas i am just interested in history and please don t refer me to other books reports authors just give me your own opinion on the points above not your opinion that they do not matter but how do you explain them i accept your patronizing unpleasant as it may be if you ll just explain and try to see my point i do accept the possibility of being wrong i try to stay as objective as i can but till now i heard rather unilateral accusations rather than specific proofs and facts that s the diference between us when confronted with discrepancies you sir seem to deliberately ignore them because the authors you read do so me i start my own research i have spoken personally to at least people who lived through those terrible times not jewish unfortunately but certainly not antisemitic it s not much but at least i did it what s your personal research they are spread over all major romanian regions my witnesses covering many different trades not one mind you ever heard much less witnessed any antisemitic violence ordered by antonescu or his government on romania old territory please quote contrary evidence first hand if possible i confess i couldn t find jewish witnesses all my jewish friends and aquaintances are too young for that but i m still looking and excuse me the accusation of incomplete quoting the wiesel repport is ludicrous would you want me to quote the full text my point was that even in a report that i consider unilateral and biased like a trial with prosecutors only and without defenders important facts like apparently inexplicable acts of mercy and a definite orriginal jewish policy totally opposed to that of germany at a time when germany was still all powerfull could not be remained unnoticed the wiesel commission itself sir could not ignore those facts how can you the wiesel report allowed such colossal mistakes as blaming a whole state a whole nation i remember of having read the phrase the crimes committed by antonescu and the romanian nation against jews you never blame a whole nation a whole population the blame sir is individual as frederic forsythe says and so is the salvation an intelligent man knows that when you deal with great numbers you have to apply statistics over generalization is one of the most unforgivable acts and such a phrase lies in the same report in which there are mentioned pro jewish acts both from government level and from individuals only to underline that they don t count and you want me to take such a report as gospel truth a model of impartiality and justice mr mircion kindly get a grip on yourself to state that antonescu is my hero proves you didn t even tried to read what i wrote if so how and what are you criticizing i repeat to be sure antonescu was involved in war crimes commited in war zones he was not involved in crimes against humanity in cold blood premeditated murder based on an ethnic cleansing policy on the contrary he tried and partially succeeded to stop it against considerable political pressure and certainly against the major antisemitic trend in a germany dominated europe he is to be condemned of course but not for the wrong reasons at the time of the reckoning both good and bad deeds should be put in the balance romanians sir have the right to criticize accuse and condemn antonescu not the jewish people from romania old kingdom since antonescu saved of them while sending almost half a million of his own people to their death to be sure this is just my opinion but it s based on facts if you have explanations for the points lined up in the answer above to mr dahn s reply based on facts not on second h
