Indeed, THE HOLOCAUST has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through their use, one of the strongest military powers in the world with a terrifying human rights record has put itself in the role of a victim state, and the most successful ethnic group in the United States has also achieved victim status. This seemingly captivating role of victim results in considerable dividends – especially the immunity to criticism, however justified.

The bourgeois reformers who wanted to carry out their social reforms to banish the revolution, but not at the expense of holy profit, their primary programme, had to look for another economic basis for the reforms. They found it outside their homeland, in the exploitation of colonised and semi-colonised peoples, whose ruthless, inhumane plunder and servitude brought in abnormal profits, out of which the capitalists paid the crumbs of union concessions and social reforms.

We live under a form of government which does not emulate the institutions of our neighbours; on the contrary we ourselves are the model, which some follow, rather than the imitators of other peoples. Our government is called a democracy because its administration is in the hands not of the few but of the majority.

According to this, in addition to undeniable colonial atrocities, social destruction, structural changes at the economic level and mental trauma, there are also changes without which no development would be possible, such as the development of school and health systems, infrastructures and the penetration of the “European spirit”.

The people whose condition and origin I intend to deal with in this writing, the Z*******, are an extremely strange phenomenon in Europe. We may look around their homes, or sit as spectators at their meals, or finally just get a glimpse of their faces. We always find them peculiar and are surprised at every step by a new and unusual scene. But the strange thing about these wandering strangers is that neither time nor climate, nor example have hitherto had any appreciable influence on them.

Death is a master from Germany, his eye is blue he hits you with a leaden bullet he hits you exactly a man lives in the house of your golden hair Margarete he incites his males on us he gives us a grave in the air he plays with the snakes and dreams of death is a master Germany your golden hair Margarete your ashen hair Sulamith

Whereas, it has become evident through long experience that nothing has sufficed to bring the said chiefs and I* to a knowledge of our Faith (necessary for their salvation), since by nature they are inclined to idleness and vice, and have no manner of virtue or doctrine (by which Our Lord is disserved). (…) at the time the I* go to serve them [the Spaniards] they are indoctrinated in and taught the things of our Faith, after serving they return to their dwellings where, because of the distance and their own evil inclinations, they immediately forget what they have been taught and go back to their customary idleness and vice.

I had to give up my habitualiation and I was forced to leave the hospital because my contract ended and they didn’t want to renew it. I was not employed at any other hospital.

The [witch] is gone now (…) [but] her fears, and the forces she struggles against in her lifetime, live on. We can open our newspapers, and read the same charges against the idle poor (…). The expropriators move into the Third World, destroying cultures (…) plundering the resources of land and people (…) If we turn on the radio, we can hear the crackle of flames (…) But the struggle also lives on.

The mineral wealth beneath the soil, the banks and monopoly industry shall be transferred to the ownership of the people as a whole; (…) The Land Shall Be Shared Among Those Who Work It!
Men and women of all races shall receive equal pay for equal work; There shall be a forty-hour working week (…) Education shall be free, compulsory, universal and equal for all children;

Not all nor nearly all of the murders done by white men, during the past thirty years in the South, have come to light, but the statistics as gathered and preserved by white men, and which have not been questioned, show that during these years more than ten thousand Negroes have been killed in cold blood, without the formality of judicial trial and legal execution. And yet, as evidence of the absolute impunity with which the white man dares to kill a Negro, the same record shows that during all these years, and for all these murders only three white men have been tried, convicted, and executed.

We Roma and Sinti are the flowers of this earth.
You can crush us,
we can be ripped out of the ground, we can be gassed,
you can burn us
one can kill us –
but like the flowers, we keep coming back (…).

I will die, but I will return and I will be millions.

You are the true Hyenas, that allure us with the fairness of your skins and when folly has brought us within your reach, you leap upon us. You are the traitors of Wisdom, the impediment to Industry… the clogs to Virtue and the goads that drive us to all vices, impiety and ruin.You are the Fool’s Paradise, the wiseman’s Plague and the Grand Error of Nature

What can we do apart from resisting? (…) It will not be easy to avenge their crimes against our people, for every step we take will be met with massive and arbitrary retribution. (…) But the destiny of our people on this earth is already certain. (…) We can either die with them or try to avenge their death. Our revenge will have to be unbridled and merciless.

Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives. So, in compliance with nature’s working plan, we must permit womanhood its full development before we can expect of it efficient motherhood. If we are to make racial progress, this development of womanhood must precede motherhood in every individual woman.

Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pocanet, and other powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and oppression of the white man, as snow before the summer sun… Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn, without making an effort worthy of our race? Shall we without a struggle, give up our homes, our lands, bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit? The graves of our dead and everything that is dear and sacred to us? I know you will say with me, Never! Never!

The Devel was in the English-man, that he makes every thing work; he makes the Negro work, the Horse work, the Ass work, the Wood work, the Water work, and the Winde work.

Development cooperation means helping people to help themselves. It is value-oriented, but it is also interest-driven. I never made a secret of it. Development cooperation does not have to be harmful to German companies.

You have to be amazed, outraged and infected, that’s the only way to change reality. What improves healing is the affective contact between one person and another. What heals is joy, what heals is the absence of prejudice.”
