Started to read Richard Cohen's Israel: is it good for the Jews?
p. 163-4
" There will be no mixture of populations to cause endless trouble..A clean sweep will be made. I am not alarmed by the prospect of disentanglement of populations, not even of these large transferences, which are more possible in modern conditions than they have ever been before."
At the House of Commons, 1944.
Potsdam Declaration, Article XII:
"The 3 governments, having considered the question in all its aspects, recognize that the transfer to Germany of German populations, or elements thereof, remaining in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, will have to be undertaken."
About 95,000 ethnic Germans were killed in the bedlam, by Czechoslovakians and Russians. Across Europe, 14 million Germans were banished, and more than 2 million died on the way. Drastic times.
