134 - 2 - Germany.I hear now that preparations are being made to continue important things of culture and art. Factories have been destroyed and industries have been paralyzed because the machines have been continued for military purposes.The Czech manufacturers only receive 15% of their raw materials. Deposit boxes and safes may only be opened in the presence of the Gestapo. Experts have calculated that today more than 35 trillion crowns of Czech property has been stolen and brought to Germany. The methods of the Gestapo regarding the nazification and Germanization of the Czech people are more brutal and un-human than the previous Austro-Hungarian suppression measures. In mixed-language districts of Bohemia the Czech schools are closed, Czech children are harassed and badly treated. In some places like Iglau, where there is a mixed population of Czechs and Germans and the Germans are in a minority, Czech families have to suffer the worst Nazi terrorism. Czech Bamilien spend the nights in the woods and dare not sleep in their own beds, for fear of Nazi progroms. And German peasants, through whom Nazis incited and come from Germany, vibrate their scythes and cry "The Blood Night Comes!" We brought our great sacrifice, it is much-lightly a single example of great self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. But this sacrifice was not able to solve even one of the controversial issues in Europe, and I must ask you the following question: "If it is possible that a nation which made such a sacrifice for the peace of the world in an effort to save other nations from the catastrophe by offering up parts of its own people's body as sacrifices, this nation can now face the violent and inhumane process of progressive strangulation, spiritual destruction and material destruction.
