Know, not think (that the Assumption is true and real, i.e.)

My grandmother’s brother was one of the American soldiers who liberated the camps and one of the first in to see the horror, and my grandfather’s brother was a British officer who spent a large part of the war in a German POW camp. So I can do without your hectoring and lectures, thank you.

Beyond that, if you were to dedicate some time to finding out how it all began, you will understand that wherever people are brutalised, abused and emarginated, the psychology is identical. Nazi Germany simply took it to an institutionalised level.

I suggest you take a close look at, for example, how supporters of the Labour Party discuss me. It is no different to how supporters of the Nazi party discussed Jews – and of course, it doesn’t help that I look typically Jewish.

You also think that Mary of Nazareth was taken bodily into heaven, so forgive me if I’m not surprised at anything you think you know or don’t know.

I thought Arbeit macht Frei meant “Snakes and Ladders”. Silly me.

I’m sure you realise that many people read your blog and form an opinion based on what you write. I am not saying that exploitation of prisoners is a good thing – on the contrary – it was my starting premise.

But there is absolutely no way that the Corradino Correctional Facility can be compared to any of the Nazi Extermination Camps. I cannot allow the comparison to stand. It’s disrespectful to the memory of the people who died there.

Don’t expect Reuben Scicluna to know that.
