Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant


Paul E. Marek wrote this interesting Op-Ed more than three years ago for Israel National News.Com. His thesis is: "History lessons are often incredibly simple," and he offers convincing evidence in support. He tells of a man he knew who was a former member of the German aristocracy prior to the rise of Hitler and his Nazi party. He asked the man how many Germans were true Nazis, and the man's answer should be a wake-up call to many people today.

“Very few people were true Nazis,” he said, “but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.”
