It’s sporadically fashionable in some leftist circles to accuse the Allies of complicity in the Holocaust, because, the argument runs, they knew about it and did nothing. This is an obviously ludicrous argument — have they never heard of the Second World War? — which ignores, primarily, the simple fact that the Allies were effectively powerless to stop what happened in German territory until they had defeated Nazism.
It is noticeable, too, that when the Green-Left attacks the Allies, they are conspicuously silent about the Soviet Union’s culpability.
They’re also conspicuously missing in action when a modern genocide is being perpetrated. To damn them with faint praise, they’re not the only ones. Socialist leaders who prate about “kindness” also cosy up to the genocidal regime, as does a large swathe of academia. Billionaires who sponsor anti-slavery initiatives also seem far too happy to make their billions from the genocide state which runs one of the largest slave-empires in the world.
Even feminists who screech about “stare rape” in the West are shamefully silent about the systematic rape of women in a sophisticated program of genocide.
From her experiences listening to harrowing accounts, rape, [Rahima Mahmut, director of the UK branch of the World Uyghur Congress] said, seems to be one of the primary weapons used by the CCP to not only hurt and break the women, but also to humiliate the men. Women in Uyghur culture, she explained, are the primary teachers of the young and the carriers of culture. “This is a deliberate attempt by the government to destroy women who give birth, educate their children, and pass on the culture, language and history,” she said.
Asked whether evidence of systematic rape in the camps was sound, Mahmut described the anguish of Gulzira Auelkhan, a Kazakh woman who had worked in a camp after she was called in, as a woman, to translate.
Auelkhan’s testimony is horrifying. Not unlike the Sonderkommando Jews who were forced to participate in the Nazis’ crimes, women like Auelkhan are forced to enable China’s ghastly genocide.
Auelkhan’s job as a Kazakh in the camp had been to undress girls chosen for their youth and beauty and prepare them for Han men who had paid for their services. She had to tie them down, and clean up afterwards. “She sobbed uncontrollably as she told her story,” said Mahmut. “She will suffer long term psychological damage, as will all the women in exile who have close contact with survivors” […]
She described another camp survivor, Tursunay Ziawudun, who had been systematically raped over her nine month internment and had concluded the purpose was “designed to destroy everyone’s spirit.”
Bitter Winter
This is a familiar tactic in genocide. The Islamic State similarly, systematically brutalised Yazidi women.
Yet, activists in the West mostly ignored the plight of Christians in Syria. The Pontiff of Piffle, Francis, said not a word as the oldest Christian communities in the world were horribly extinguished.
What would we say of businessmen or academics who happily dealt with the Nazi regime, in the full knowledge of the extermination camps?
It’s easy to pass condemnation on people from three-quarters of a century ago: but what are we doing about the horrors being committed today?
