#1 Allege-O-Matic, or, "If I Had a Hammer"

And speaking of horrors of War
Like Katyn... wait, friends! Is much more!
Another great feature
Of late Nazi creature
Is Holodomor! Not in store!

#2 I recall something about the pictures of the dead Polish Officers uniformly wearing winter coats which did not match the timeframe of the Russian accusations.

#3 I guess people will try to rehabilitate the reputation of Pol Pot someday as well.

#4 And from what I understand, the "Holodomor" was not just a Ukraine phenomenon but occurred elsewhere in the young USSR with Uncle Joe at the helm. Had to pay off those Western bankers somehow.

#6 The Holodomor dilution stuff is kind of like forcing a person to eat dog poop but making it ok by offering ketchup. Wounded Knee is Wounded Knee. The Rape of Nanking is what it is. Stalin starved a lot of people because he was a demonic horrible figure who implemented moronic policy. He targeted Ukraine and the people are justified in hating him even though he targeted other people too. He doesn’t get some kind of pass because he murdered other ethnicities as well.

#7 He doesn’t get some kind of pass because he murdered other ethnicities as well.

Hitler intended to wipe out all the Untermenschen — the Jews were just Proof of Concept. After all, in addition to the six million or so of those the Nazis defined as Jews (having one Jewish grandparent, regardless of whether the person so defined considered himself Jewish, Christian, atheist, or Mandalorean), they murdered some 90% of Europes gypsies, a large percentage of those Germans with mental or physical handicaps, many, many Slavs, and so forth.

#8 But the murder of Jews was a unique atrocity. It's why the Nazis are so reviled today. They built up a mass of lies about powerless people and blamed them for Europe's problems.

"Never again" doesn't refer to Gypsies. They can go build their own holocaust memorial.

#9 Haven't even read the thread (yet), but when did that stop me?

There is an old man of Manhattan,
A Pole, sole survivor of Katyn,
Whose wife was a tween
When she ran from Khatyn
Via Todt Hill, a husband to fatten
On golden potatoes au gratin.

Any resemblance, etc. ;-)

#10 Blame Mad Men (nevertheless, I persisted). Dammed thing's got me wanting to tell stories... not exactly me strong point.
