The role of the USSR and the Red Army in the liberation of Europe from fascism was once indisputable. In the recent years, European parliamentarians keep bringing on new “discoveries.” The campaign to re-write history commenced 20 years ago with a publication of the book called “Icebreaker,” written by a fugitive Soviet intelligence officer Victor Rezun (Suvorov) who defected to the UK military base. He was the first one to place an equal sign between Hitler and Stalin and Wehrmacht and the Red Army.
Russia is fiercely resisting the revisionists and falsifiers. Yet, it seems that deafness and memory lapses are the signature diseases of the European parliamentarianism that started out as a focal disease under Napoleon and spread out like an epidemic during the Crimean War. On the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz (Osventsim) concentration camp, a reporter from Komsomolskaya Pravda has discovered that Russia had authoritative and uncompromising allies in the struggle against falsifiers. They include Moshe (Vyacheslav) Kantor, the President of the Russian Jewish Congress. We began our conversation with the Holocaust tragedy, the tragedy of the specific nation, but then realized that this tragedy could not be singled out and separated from the history of Europe and Russia, no matter how great the temptation.
"Sixty five years later we learned a few lessons from those events. Obviously, the role of the Red Army in the liberation of Auschwitz is underappreciated in Europe and the world in general. We have to take advantage of the fact that we still have living witnesses, the soldiers who participated in the liberation. In November, I addressed the Russian President asking him to give awards to all liberators. I hope they will receive their awards by the 65th anniversary of World War II Victory. My father was a soldier of the Red Army. For me, the Holocaust is a personal issue since the majority of my family has died from it. I am mostly interested in the lessons we learned from that tragedy. I would name four lessons. First, the Holocaust was a tragedy that united Europe. Second, during every crisis, tolerance is the most sought-after quality. Third, all fanatic regimens fail, as it happened in Europe. Fourth, the only existing safety is that of global nature."
