C SLATER states that "there was no difference between national socialism and Germans", (Letters, July 10).
There is a word for sweeping generalisations which dismiss an entire race in that way: it is racism.
I am astonished that the Evening Press would even print such a disgustingly offensive remark.
It does not seem to have occurred to C Slater that many of the Jewish survivors of the death camps that he or she cites in the letter were themselves German, as were many other brave and decent people who opposed the national socialists.
