“Art does not exist just to delight our eyes; art too fulfills the function of transferring ideas and provoking thoughts.” Austrian cartoonist Gerhard Haderer has been producing satirical illustrations for
decades, highlighting why today’s society is nowhere near be perfect.

The artist developed his realistic style when working as graphic designer and illustrator of advertising agencies in the beginning of his career. He had to undergo an operation due to cancer that he suffered in 1985 and was forced to abandon his dreams entrepreneurs and became an independent cartoonist and satirical illustrator. These are some of his best work.

What really died at Auschwitz?

On By estrangedztIn history, WorldLeave a comment

Walking through the streets of Barcelona, ​​I suddenly discovered the terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz…

We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.

At Auschwitz we burned a culture, thinking, creativity, talented.

We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the World.

The contribution of these people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade and, above all, as awareness of the World.

These were the people we burned.

And under the presumption of tolerance and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened the door to 20 million Muslims who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to reluctance to work and proudly support their families.

They blew up our trains and moved our beautiful Spanish cities to the 3rd world, drowning them in filth and crime.

They lock themselves in apartments that they receive free of charge from the government, planning the killing and destruction of their naive guests. And this, to our dismay, we exchanged culture for fanatical enmity, creative ability for destructive ability, intelligence for regression and superstition.

We exchanged the search for peace for Europe’s Jews with their talent for a better future for their children, their determined attachment to life because life is sacred, for those who seek death for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and for others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by poor Europe.

Great Britain recently debated removing the holocaust from the school curriculum because it offends the Muslim population who claims it never existed.

It hasn’t been removed yet.

However, it is a frightening omen of the fear that is taking over the world and how easy it is for each country to give in to that fear.

About seventy years passed after the Second World War.

This email is being sent as a chain in memory of the six million Jews, twenty million Russians, ten million Christians and nineteen hundred Catholic priests who were murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, made guinea pigs for experiments and humiliated.

Now, more than ever, with Iran among others denying the holocaust, which they say is a myth, it is imperative to make “the World never forget”.

This mail aims to reach 400 million people.

Be another link in the memory chain and help distribute it around the world.

How many years will pass after the attack on the World Trade Center before they say it never happened because it offends Muslims in the United States?

If our Judeo-Christian heritage offends Muslims, it is time to pack up and move to Iran, Iraq or any other Muslim country.

Please, do not destroy this message; it will only take a minute to review. We have to wake up America (and the rest of the World …) before it’s too late.

(A copy of an article written by Sebastian Vilar Rodríguez, a Spanish writer, published in a Spanish newspaper. It doesn’t take much imagination to associate the message with the rest of Europe, possibly the rest of the world.)
