Ylya Ehrenburg

Ylya Ehremburg(also ILya) was a jew Sovietwriter, revolutionary, journalist and historian.

✡️ As a a leading member of the Soviet-sponsored Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, Ilya Ehrenburg appeared at fund-raising rallies in the United States, raising support for the Communist cause while displaying “bars of soap” allegedly manufactured by the Germans from the corpses of dead Jews.

✡️ But Ehrenburg was perhaps most notorious for his viciously anti-German hate propaganda in World War II. In it, he exhorted Soviet troops to kill all Germans they encountered without pity.*

✡️In one leaflet entitled "Kill," Ehrenburg incited the simple Russian soldier to treat the Germans as subhuman. The final paragraph concludes:

✡️"The Germans are not human beings. From now on, the word 'German' is the most horrible curse. From now on, the word 'German' strikes us to the quick. We have nothing to discuss. We will not get excited. We will kill. If you have not ki!!ed at least one German a day, you have wasted that day ... If you cannot kill a German with a bullet, then ki!! him with your bayonet. If your part of the front is quiet and there is no fighting, then kill a German in the meantime ... If you have already ki!!ed a German, then k—l another one - there is nothing more amusing to us than a heap of German corpses. Don't count the days, don't count the kilometers. Count only one thing: the number of Germans you have ki!!ed. Ki!! the Germans! ... - Ki!! the Germans! Kill!"

✡️And in another leaflet: "The Germans must be k—ed. One must ki!! them ... Do you feel sick? Do you feel a nightmare in your breast? ... Ki!! a German! If you are a righteous an conscientious man - ki!! a German! ... Ki!!!"
