He flew up from his seat and began telling me that what happened to German minorities in Europe was nothing more than racism and a close brother of Nazi ideology, he told me that no only were Germans cleansed via deportation but hat the Czech had also killed thousands of Germans. That they had done all this with the consent of men like Winston Churchill, the men who had claimed to hate Nazism.

    I have read a few articles on the expulsion of the German minorities, and I feel rather angry, it was nothing but full blooded racism but has been overlooked becuse it was aimed at the "Germans".
    In effect, what the Allies allowed to happen was nothing better than what they had fought.
    And he was absolutely right. It's all well and good for everyone else to sit around and say "the Germans deserved it," but when it happens to your family, when you see the effects in your parents, in your grandparents, you have a bit of a different outlook. Two wrongs do not make a right, and saying that an entire people are guilty of a crime is nothing short of racism.
