When some in Germany began looking into Sack's book, they concluded that it is precisely the sort of scandalous work that I demonstrated it to be. Once his book was thus exposed by a German writer in a prominent newspaper, his distinguished German publisher, Piper Verlag (with whom I had no contact whatsoever) took the highly unusual (and highly unprofitable) step of destroying the entire print run of the book and cancelling publication shortly before its release date. It was clear that the book was more in the genre of fiction than of reportage or history, that...
...Sack has spent a great deal of energy attacking me and misrepresenting what I have maintained, such as the ridiculous and demonstrably false assertion that I do not want people to learn from the Holocaust that it is not true that "all Jews are good and all Germans are bad." The Crimson even did Sack one better by inserting, as a subhead, the statement: "Goldhagen is wrong to understand the Holocaust as teaching that all Jews are good and all Germans are bad." Where is the evidence that I have ever said, written or "understood" this about either Jews...
...notion that I believe that all Germans are "bad" (whatever that exactly would mean) is equally ridiculous and unfounded--a claim for which neither Sack nor The Crimson could provide evidence. It would be too silly for me to quote my own published words "proving" that I do not hold such a view. Sack has also repeatedly made wild charges against me, such as the whopper that, over three years ago, I exposed the falsehoods of his book as part of some publishing plan for my recent book--as if one has anything to do with the other...
...Sack's misrepresentations here of the character of his own book and of what I have written about it, is part of the written record. I am, therefore, not going to replay it all again, any more than to convey here what the central theme of Sack's book is: that a conspiracy of secret Jews (passing as non-Jews) controlled the Polish security services after the war and brought about the deportation of millions and the killing of tens of thousands of ethnic Germans as a way of "revenging" themselves for the Holocaust. Jews working as Stalin's self...
...principal agent in this drama is not the Polish state implementing its brutal policy to secure its western regions by expelling the ethnic Germans who populated it, but "Jewish" wrath manipulating the duped Poles. This is the "untold story of Jewish revenge" which Sack and his American publisher claimed had been suppressed for so long, seemingly by yet another conspiracy, and which the heroic Sack has, against all odds, brought to light for the world. Before printing Sack's attack on me, did The Crimson know that, whatever the nuggets of fact may be, around which Sack weaves his overheated...
