An answer to those who argue that the German and Austrian people have a
"collective responsibility" for the Holocaust. The German and Austrian
people themselves, and especially the proletariat that was lied to,
betrayed and sold out by the Stalinists, the Socials-Democrats and the
bourgeois parties, have no guilt to bear. The capitalists push this
idea in order to cover up for the responsibility of capitalism in this
terrible crime and also to hide the fact that millions of German and
Austrian workers were opposed to Hitler, and many Socialists,
Communists and Trade Union activists also died in his camps.
We have received this letter from a worker in Israel which highlights
the injustices suffered by the Arab workers under Israeli rule and also
the impasse ordinary working class Israelis are facing.
