"Hitler and company were not only the most atrocious murderers, but also the most audacious thieves. German workmen were paying him weekly installments which were deducted for years from their wages for a 'Volkswagen,' a people's car, which they never received.
"All the foregone is not pleasant to hear. It shook my complacency, but it was necessary for me to disclose these facts to you in their nakedness with these terrible pictures as a warning.
"Our cruel, ignorant, and superstitious animal instinct combined with our grasping money lust is the cause of it all. This greed will be our eventual undoing. We always at all times hate somebody, and give vent to our savageness in many different ways, such as burning old women as witches at the stake, picking on weaker nations for plunder and war, and visiting hatred, pogroms, insults, indignities, and injustices on our minorities. It has been a constant round of wronging and injuring others.
"Who could have predicted or believe fifteen years ago less then a generation, in an era of our so-called civilization and Christianity, that such atrocious inhumanity could take place?"
WHO IS GUILTY OF NAZI CRIMES?
"I have a high respect for the profession to which I belong, and the reporting done by American and British correspondents during this war, whether on the air or in the press represents a high mark in journalism.
"Now these American correspondents, who are not engaged in spreading atrocity stories, give detailed reports of the most cold-blooded mass murder in human history. This is not the first time that American correspondents have told the world what was going on. They told of the mass murders being committed in Germany, in 1933, and the world did not listen.
"Members of the British House of Commons or the American Congress, visited Nuremberg party rallies, sought audiences with Adolf Hitler and came home to brag about them. A former American President visited Hermann Goering, as did many American businessmen. They visited him and some thought we could do business with the Nazis very nicely.
"No country severed relations with the Nazi government because it was composed of murderers. The Nazi murders were merely internal affairs and there were plenty of apologists for the persecutions of the Jews. But the apologists of the persecutions are in some measure guilty of what happened in Lublin.
"To many persons Marshal Petain is still an elegant old gentleman and touching figure. Yet his government knew what it was doing when it rounded up, first German refugees, and later anti-Nazi French Jews and delivered them to the gestapo. The mass murderers presented a list and the Vichy government delivered the list. Can their hands be altogether washed of the blood spilled in Lublin?
