Today's Irish Times carries a letter by Ivor Shorts, pointing out how Dr Eduard Hempel was part of the Nazi machine.
Of course Dr Hempel carried out the orders of Adolf Hitler, was a member of the Nazi Party, gave the Hitler salute and complained to the Irish Government about a play showing at the Peacock, which told the story of a refugee from Nazi Germany.
The Irish authorities to their shame requested the Peacock to make changes in the play.
It is intresting how we are forever finding kind words and excuses for the middle management teams, people who look and sound 'refined'.
The late Dr Hempel was Adolf Hitler's agent in Ireland.
Pastor Niemoeller's poem comes to mind.
Imagine if every German ambassador around the world had refused to sell the Hitler story, what then?
