The Mail On Josef Fritzl, Natasha Kampusch, Nazis And Social Workers

daily-wail71.jpgWASN’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…
