“Some European countries insist on saying that during World War II, Hitler burned millions of Jews and put them in concentration camps. Any historian, commentator or scientist who doubts that is taken to prison or gets condemned. Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true...

You offer part of Europe and we will support it.” IfsWorldGivingShouldWarCountryStatesAcceptingMillionsSupportTakenDoubtHonestOffersEuropeScientistClaimsPrisonJewWar Of The WorldsGermanyConcentrationCampsHistorianWorld War IiWorld War IBurnedOther CountriesProvincesCommentatorsZionistConcentration CampEuropean CountriesAustria Author:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

“Jane Austen has often been praised as a natural historian. She is a naturalist among tame animals. She does not study men (as Dostoevsky does) in his wild state before he has been domesticated. Her men and women are essentially men and women of the fireside.” MenDoeHas BeensStatesNaturalAnimalStudyMen And WomenHistorianJaneNaturalistAusten Author:Robert Wilson Lynd
