The Mail On Josef Fritzl, Natasha Kampusch, Nazis And Social Workers
WASN’T BBC TV’s ‘exclusive’ interview with Austrian kidnap victim Austrian kidnap victim Natasha Kampusch, 20, a non-event?” asks the Mail semi-rhetorically.
Before we go on, note that in the same issue the Mail’s feature “In the shadow of the swastika” tells us:
“Natasha Kampusch, who for eight years was held in a similar dungeon to the one where Josef Fritzl imprisoned his daughter, opened a Pandora’s box when she linked both horror stories to the country’s ‘authoritarian education’ and ‘the suppression of women’ under the Nazis. Her implication was that Fritzl, at 73 a child of the Nazi era, belongs to a generation that thought it could get away with anything.”
The Mail continues:
“Invited by Robin Denslow to comment on the latest Austrian kidnap scandal, Natascha… suggested it might be connected to the exploitation of women by Nazis during the Second World War.
“Isn’t this the kind of airy-fairy theory she might have heard from social workers.”
Or else she read it in the Mail…

Had the decorators in?
Is that another male euphemism, eh?

Apparently the Orphanage in Jersey was a communications centre for NAZIS in WWII. Must be something in the paint. Thank heavens it was only used as a youth hostel for a short while before they had the decorators in.

With no disrespect meant to Natasha Kampusch, although i can appreciate her personal emotinal feeling of association with the Fritzl family through circumstance, i do not think that Kampusch should be overlooked as a very young woman lacking herself in many normal life experiences and still recovering from her own ordeal. Has i fear she may be being misrepresented, or considered to be herself an authority or advisor for other victims in place of trained professionals.

I’m surprised they didn’t bring that up - but then how would they explain the Welsh child sex abuse scandals, or the Rochdale or the Orkney… fifth columnists???

You ain’t wrong, but lets fight them off shall we?
Do we therefore feel that the events on Jersey are because of the dreaded Hun?

I think we’re banging our heads against a brick wall on this one… it’s the angle the tabloids want to go for even though they know it’s rubbish.
Still, Hitler would be proud… racial theories are alive and well…

So, if that is true where did Fred and Rosemary West get their sadistic perverse ideas and practices to demean women and girls from?
Don’t think Gloucester is in Austria…
