 One endlessly hears of the looting of art during wartime — but strangely, one almost never hears of the looting of German art that took place after World War 2.
WHEN THE EXHIBIT, “German Masters of the Nineteenth Century,” opened at the New York Metropolitan Museum, it was significant because contemporary art history texts treat 19th-century Germany as a cultural wasteland. Frenchmen like Cezanne, Monet, Manet and Gauguin are seen as art personified. For all the critics cared, the rest of the European art world could have chopped up their palettes for kindling wood. Now it is quite true that the French artists had a lot going . . . → Read More: Art Looting: The Other Side

by Benjamin H. Freedman
listen to the speech (43 minutes; mp3)

RABBI DAVID Kaufman quoted my essay and radio broadcast on the Dresden Holocaust in his column recently. His bias stands out like Bertie Wooster’s white suit. Kaufman is an unabashed Zionist, and told the Des Moines Register recently that his concern over events in Iran is motivated by “Iran’s threat to Israel.” That’s . . . → Read More: The Dresden Holocaust and the Numbers Game

“Who in all his work sees God,
He in truth goes unto God:
God is his worship, God is his offering,
Offered by God in the fire of God:”
– The Bhagavad Gita
THOUGHTS FLY OFTEN back to that memorable evening when I first met Arno Breker. The long flight across the Atlantic from America back to Europe, the land of my forefathers, brings me to Breker’s home near the airport in Düsseldorf. As we drive up the long driveway to the house, his Prometheus — the god who brought culture and the divine fire to mankind — greets us with his . . . → Read More: The Guardian of the Image of Man

 The entire purpose of the German nation, for all time, must be “remembrance of The Holocaust.”
by Dr. Claus Nordbruch (pictured)
IN A SPEECH that he gave at the gala dinner of the Jewish World Congress in New York on 11 September 2000, Joschka Fischer, former Federal German Minister of Foreign Affairs, emphasized that he understands “how vitally important it is to preserve awareness of our responsibility for preserving Remembrance (of ‘The Holocaust’). Remembrance is a constant obligation for a democratic Germany. It must remain a perpetual obligation in future as well.”
Elaborating on this implied obligation for all Germans for all time, he went on to explain: “We . . . → Read More: The Political Foundations of Today’s Germany

 THE SAVITRI DEVI ARCHIVE is a repository for writings and documents related to the philosopher and religious thinker Savitri Devi, born Maximine Portaz (1905-1982). The Archive will eventually make all of Savitri Devi’s writings available. In addition, the Archive contains information and documents on Savitri Devi’s life, as well as works of secondary and collateral literature that illuminate her life and work.
Savitri Devi’s works are very rare. Most of her books were printed in tiny editions and are long out of print. Many are not in the collections of even the largest research libraries. Most of her essays appeared in small circulation Indian and “right wing” periodicals that are unavailable . . . → Read More: Savitri Devi Archive

 THE EASTERN GERMAN city of Dresden was turned into rubble over two days and nights in February 1945 by British and American bombers. (ILLUSTRATION: Even three weeks after the near-total destruction of Dresden, which makes 9/11 look like a stubbed toe, bodies were still being found by the thousands.)
Some 25,000 people [Many estimates are far higher. -- Ed.], mostly women and children, died in savage firestorms whipped up by the intense heat of 2,400 tons of high explosive and 1,500 tons of incendiary bombs. The raid was controversial because the war was almost over and Dresden had no strategic value as a military target.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR Angela Merkel said that Germans have failed to grasp how Muslim immigration has transformed their country and will have to come to terms with more mosques than churches throughout the countryside, according to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily.
“Our country is going to carry on changing, and integration is also a task for the society taking up the task of dealing with immigrants,” Ms. Merkel told the daily newspaper. “For years we’ve been deceiving ourselves about this. Mosques, for example, are going to be a more prominent part of our cities than they were before.”
Germany, with a population of 4-5million Muslims, has been divided in . . . → Read More: Chancellor: Germany Will Become an Islamic State
