RE: [Cz-L] An infamous Czernowitzer

The basic fact is that the Allied politicians at first did not believe the reports coming out of occupied Europe. But a major question does remain to be answered...once they started understanding what was going on,why did nobody order simple things like bombing the railway line into Auschwitz,like sending Fighter-Bombers to attack the watchtowers etc etc.....as the British sent a squadron of Mosquitos to blow the walls of a French prison to allow French Resistance prisoners to escape?????

Subject: [Cz-L] An infamous Czernowitzer

Dear all,

Yosef Eshet and I had a nice private exchange of mails speculating a bit on the origin of the family name Ginzburg. I checked the German Wikipedia and stumbled over an entry on J. G. Burg, born in 1908 as Josef Ginsburg in Czernowitz. Ginsburg was deported in 1941 to Transnistria. After the war he moved to Munich where his wife opened a kosher restaurant. In 1949 the Ginsburg family settled down in Israel but returned to Munich in 1950.

Ginsburg was a listener in the Nuremberg Trials and came to the conclusion that there was complicity of the Western Allies and the Zionist movement that enabled the Holocaust. Since the early 60s Ginsburg published anti-Zionist pamphlets in magazines of the German neo-Nazi movement and appeared as a defense witness in trials against war criminals and holocaust deniers. Untill today his writings are praised by right-wing extremists and give them a chance to blame others for the holocaust. Most of Ginsburg's books were confiscated by the police but still circulate as vintage copies.

Does it teach something about Czernowitz? I don't think so. We knew before that Czernowitz was not Camelot - to quote a list member - and not every Czernowitzer was a saint. Does it teach something about the human nature? No, we already knew there is a wide range of misguided characters in the world.
