Show ATROX We get a word from the Latin language, the root of which is "Atrox." The definition in the Latin dictionary dic-tionary for atrox is: Horrible, hideous, frightful, savage, sav-age, dreadful; cruel, fierce; "atrocious" thus in the last given word, giving us our use of the ancient Latin root, with meaning applicable. Close to the town of Maidenek was found the na-zi na-zi incinerator (of Lublin), in Poland, which the nazis hate possibly worse than any other region, and on Poles and Jews, they vented that intense hatred.This incinerator was a building built of brick, (with the usual German efficiency), with ovens for burning, a coal-fed fire, with blowers to get up heat. In it they put many thousands of persons (first having removed remov-ed the gold fillings of the teeth, and having stamped stamp-ed the corpse certifying to that effect more German Ger-man efficiency), and the body was then burned. This incinerator was built with careful attention to details, a very effective contrivance, scientifically made by first class engineers, properly constructed to do the work of butchery. They stripped the bodies, bod-ies, and in warehouses stored the clothing, which at intervals was sent to Germany; as mentioned, the gold fillings taken from the teeth were saved for use in the vaterland; the shoes were carefully taken ofi and stored, thousands upon thousands of pair piled stored in a warehouse, many of which were of children chil-dren a babes sizes. The usual German efficiency. The full meaning of the word Atrox atrocity. The nazis planned with the cruelest detail that nc matter if World Wor II failed, yet by systematically doing all the harm they could to conquered nations, those nations would be so badly hurt as to be unable un-able to recover in a generation, stripped of their intellectuals, in-tellectuals, their keenest brains killed, and hence in thirty years or so, the German nation better prepared pre-pared for World War III. It would then be successful, success-ful, even though World War II should be decided in arms against them. Weaken the other nations. Kill men (the best oi men) in enemy nations; degrade women; kill children, chil-dren, that succession would be hampered, and thus leave to the enemy only a succession of surfs, the lower strata, inferior to the "master race." The na-zi na-zi then, intact, best able to recuperate and be better bet-ter off to begin again. Nothing conceivable is more horrible. Nothing planned was more diabolical. Nothing the nazis have done reflects more discredit dis-credit to them, ensuring lasting hatred. They wil. never live it down. Poland will keep the building intact that all may, know, and have the evidence o'. the crime before them for remembrance of the infamy. in-famy. PIS The burning ghat at Lublin has been written a-bout a-bout in the newspapers, reviewed in the magazines magazin-es to the utter shock of all. To the contempt of all There is nothing in atrocity that exceeds it. Ghengis Khan, Attila, none were more base. All the range of definitions of the word Atrox fit the case. Poland leaves the building as an eloquent testimony of jusl what manner of brutes these nazis are. The nazi officer in charge was captured "Orders "Or-ders military orders from a superior. You can'1 hold me responsible!" They will, we hope, and al' his ilk, far up. Arrogance, defiance, cockiness of lower rank officers of-ficers will disapper in steady conviction of those participating in this heinousness. One by one, le1 it be hoped, justice comes to each. And with it the brand marking the baseness of the perpetrators. A careful reading of history, back to Tudean times, tim-es, down through Greek and Roman, gives no foul blot equalling this depravity. Nero could not think of anything as vile. Caligula was a pink tea devotee dev-otee in comparison. No massacre under any circumstance cir-cumstance exceeds it in lowness of mind. And tc think, Christians all, leaders, world "master men."I1 is revolting. It should be remembered. It should be retained as evidence branding the nazi with that ignominy all feel, and rave due weight in all the peace terms which follow. Justice, not leniency; punishment, not forgiveness. For World War III may be in the offing, off-ing, and not over a long generation away. A species of rattlesnake is named scientifically "Ahrox," to denote its character. Atrocious follows as the fixing of the nazi character. Remember Lublin. .; ' n |
