LUNCH WITH SS STURMGRUPENNFUHRER OTTO SKORZENY


As a Jew I would not have gone near him. He was instrumental in helping SS war
criminals escape after the war. He may have been intelligent and likable, but
he was antisemitic. I hope his death was slow, lingering and painful.

I am willing to bet he would have been convicted if he were tried in 1946. The
later trials had too many aquittals and light sentences.

I understand your point. But I was the guest of a good friend and bad manners
was ou of the question. But I must say that lunch began the healing process
for me. It isn't over yet, but it was the beginning.

'he was antisemitic'

Where did you read this ?

From several sources over the years. No, I can't cite specifics. However, when
he went into the SS it was an all volunteer service where one had to be a
member of the Nazi party. He joined the Austrian Nazi party in 1930. One of the
tenets of the Nazi party is, and always has been, antisemitism. After WW2 he
worked in Spain to help SS murderers escape justice. During the 1950s he was in
Egypt assisting in anti Israel projects.

Yes, I'd say he was antisemitic. Joining the Nazi party before it was expediant
to do so tells me he was rabidly antisemetic.

That thought certainly entered my mind as I said, " Bitte darf ich der saltz
haben herr Skorzeny".
