George Orwell am 2. Februar 1945 in seiner Kolumne "As I please" in der "Tribune" zur geplanten Vertreibung der Deutschen: „Ein Flugblatt, das ich kürzlich vom Friends’ Peace Committee erhalten habe, stellt fest, dass, falls der gegenwärtige Plan, alle Polen aus den Gebieten, die von der UdSSR übernommen werden sollen, und als Ausgleich alle Deutschen aus den Teilen Deutschlands, die an Polen fallen sollen, umzusiedeln, durchgeführt wird, dies die Umsiedlung von nicht weniger als sieben Millionen Menschen mit sich bringen wird. Manche Schätzungen, glaube ich, liegen noch höher, aber nehmen wir an, es seien sieben Millionen. Das kommt der Entwurzelung und Umsiedlung der gesamten Bevölkerung Australiens oder der zusammengelegten Bevölkerungen Schottlands und Irlands gleich. Ich bin kein Experte für Transport oder Wohnungswesen und würde gerne von jemandem, der besser qualifiziert ist, eine grobe Schätzung hören: (a) wie viele Waggons und Lokomotiven, die wie lange laufen müssten, benötigt würden, um diese sieben Millionen Menschen plus ihr Vieh, ihre landwirtschaftlichen Maschinen und ihren Hausrat zu transportieren; oder alternativ (b) wie viele von ihnen an Hunger und Erschöpfung sterben werden, wenn man sie einfach ohne ihr Vieh usw. abtransportiert. Ich vermute, die Antwort auf (a) würde zeigen, dass dieses ungeheure Verbrechen tatsächlich nicht durchgeführt werden kann, obwohl es begonnen werden könnte – mit Verwirrung, Leid und der Aussaat unversöhnlicher Hassgefühle als Folge. In der Zwischenzeit sollte das britische Volk so konkret und detailliert wie möglich darüber aufgeklärt werden, auf welche Art von Politik seine Staatsmänner es festlegen.“ https://t.co/bIP8eK2QSw https://t.co/YKbgfMOxH0 #GeorgeOrwell #History #HumanRights
