Page "Martin Hohmann" Paragraph 4

To illustrate his point, that this treatment of Germans is absurd, he draws a parallel with Jews, who, he argues with painstaking submission of evidence, have, to a remarkable extent taken part in communist activities, such as the Russian revolution.

Hohmann states: " Thus one could describe Jews with some justification as a nation of perpetrators ... Judged by these facts, it would feel justified to call the Jews a people of ' perpetrators '.

" His conclusion is: " That may sound terrible.

But it would still follow the same logic, as the one used to call the Germans a people of perpetrators.

" To make it clear that the judgement follows only if you accept the premises he is out for demolishing, he explains that " neither the Germans nor the Jews can be termed a nation of perpetrators ".
