The Nazi victims' association Amical of Mauthausen and Other Camps regrets that, once again, the
greatest crimes that humanity has suffered is put to trivial, irresponsible and
malicious use as a weapon against movements or ideological positions, even
though they may convince but a few.
In democracy, we need to know how to disagree by
reasoning, and the subtleties and nuances (which in their report are called perversion of the language), are
precisely what characterizes a mature democratic society. Nazism should be the
red line that indicates the barrier that must not be crossed, but not the easy
resort to silence those who disagree.
Because of the widespread use of this term, Nazi, by various politicians, public
figures and others, we can only regret that the dialogue becomes a ridiculous
diatribe, that the term loses all its strength as an alarm and no longer has
any meaning.
Responsibility,
dignity and democracy are the best tribute to the victims of Nazism.
