Caroline B. Glick* proclaimed last January (2014) that “International Holocaust Remembrance Day” on January 27 has not worked because it has not helped to reduce antisemitism but has made it worse!

All who agree that the entire affair should be canceled as ineffective, raise your hand!

Notice that the goal of “Holocaust Remembrance Day” is not, for Glick, primarily to memorialize the alleged victims but to reduce the occurrence of antisemitism. Antisemitism is the center of Jewish thinking. their #1 concern; it stands above holo-denial which is just an aspect of, a symptom of, the Big A – Antisemitism. 

Antisemitism is the universal compliant of Jewish activists everywhere, but the fact of the matter is that wherever Jews go they bring antisemitism with them. It is Jewish attitudes and behavior that are the cause of other people's dislike of them, even though Jews unanimously insist it lies in the twisted psyches of Europeans.

Hans Krampe admired this City Hall in Nauen, East Germany, where he grew up, and wanted to use it as a picture representing himself. It was built around 1885.

It is with deep sadness that I learned only today that Hans Krampe, the gifted German emigre to British Columbia, Canada, has passed on. While he was with us, he was a force for uncompromising truth about Third Reich Germany and Germany's role in World War II.

Hans was a typical German liberal thinker who came upon the truth about his homeland late in life, which was probably a hard blow. I too didn't learn the truth until late in life and my reaction is to be very angry about it. We are angry about what was withheld from us, and have no patience with its continuance.

I believe I first came in contact with Hans through reading something by him at Arthur Topham's website, Radical Press. Arthur was a guest on one of my earlest The Heretics' Hour programs in March 2010:  http://carolynyeager.net/heretics-hour-interview-arthur-topham

Hans and Arthur were neighbors in Quesnel, BC and Hans had begun contributing, both editorially and financially, to a physical newspaper Arthur started in 1998. Hans and I began corresponding and he agreed to come on my radio program and tell about his interesting childhood history in East Germany. This is the program from March 21, 2011:  http://carolynyeager.net/heretics-hour-interview-hans-krampe

It's here!

And we're back.

Margaret Huffstickler returns with another great musical show -- a tour of German Christmas music that was heard and enjoyed during the Third Reich. Eleven selections are played, ranging from children's choirs and soft lullabys to the voices of soldiers from all the many fronts in 1942 singing Stille Nacht together connected by radio ... and by their comradeship.  

Margaret translates and comments on each selection, giving us some background information and a sense of how Germans celebrated Weinachten at that time. I hope you enjoy it and Fröhliche Weinachten to you all!! [1hr50min]

Hand written sign says "Against Forced Islamization!" Monday evening during a march of 10,000 in Dresden, Germany.

From Der Spiegel - 12-9-14

Dresden / Berliin - The chairman of Alternative for Germany (AfD), Bernd Lucke,  spoke positively about the right-wing populist alliance of "patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West" (Pegida) on his Facebook page. He "welcomed" their announcing of their goals in an "exclusively peaceful way."

He also said that it is "good and correct" that citizens express their "concerns about the spread of radical Islamist ideology" in such nonviolent demonstrations. The demonstrations showed that these people did not feel their concerns were understood by politicians, as reported also in the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Lucke, who is himself a Protestant, stressed that he did not have a negative attitude towards Islam as a religion, but was fighting against a misogynistic, violent political ideology that warred against even religious freedom and tolerance and Western values.

The Pegida movement should "leave no doubt that it seeks to defend precisely these values with its defense of the West," Lucke said.

The Deputy AfD Chairman Hans-Olaf Henkel viewed the Pegida protests with greater skepticism. It is not inconceivable, he told Der Spiegel, that the protests "develop xenophobic or even racist connotations."

In a major speech from the Kremlin today, Putin gave something of a "state-of-the-Union" report to members of the government and religious leaders that reveals Putin's own state-of-denial. He continues to praise and identify with the Soviet Union and its communist allies such as Yugoslavia, while never mentioning the mass murder they carried out. Some mind-bending quotes from the speech follow:

“Hitler, with his humanity hating ideas, was going to destroy Russia and throw us back behind the Urals. Everyone should remember how this ended."

"Next year we will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Our army overcame the enemy, freed Europe.”
