![One of the most paralyzing tools of the provocation is “the disproportion in the treatment of Nazi crimes and Communist crimes [which] has no moral basis, only a political one” (19). But “where, in what book of divine or human law, is it stated that persecution for one’s race or nationality is a greater crime than persecution for one’s social origin, religion, or views?” (21). Nowhere it does. A political calculation, indeed putative Realpolitik, to facilitate a “peaceful co-existence” with the Soviets, dictated this noxiously dichotomous, selective sensitivity to universal victimhood. Yet, the Communist deception rendered any elucidation of a realistic course of action impossible. “Any policy, if considered as the art of predicting the future and influencing historical developments, has to be based on a knowledge of the past. Once this past is falsified, once historical facts are replaced by invented facts, once reality is adjusted to the current form of wishful thinking, such a ‘Realpolitik’ may easily become a completely unrealistic policy” (19). The elimination of the historical perspective by the Communists “allows them endlessly to repeat the same tactics.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i3pmtijna3dhxnbn2eb3dqcn/bafkreid3bog6r46q2q6xf6kqnxzuzi5zohce2o4gukynr34irha2h3xecq@jpeg)
