Minister: We Should Not Gloss Over Allied Killings of Dutch Citizens



Minister Ferdinand Grapperhaus of Justice said that he cannot justify that the authorities remain silent about the mistaken bombardment on February 22, 1944 by the Allied Forces of the Dutch town of Nijmegen in which almost 800 civilians were killed.  He said so at the annual memorial for the massacre.  He referred to the silence of the government in London and later governments until the 21st century.  He quoted Mark Twain, “The truth hurts. Silence kills.”
