Commemoration of the Victims of the Benes Decrees in the Church of Homecoming. Sudeten Germans deported and slaughtered following the introduction of the Benes Decrees in Czechoslovakia were commemorated in the Church of Homecoming on Sunday, 27 June.
The Benes Decrees came into force between 14 May and 27 October 1945. Out of the 143 discriminatory decrees, denouncing both Germans and Hungarians as collectively guilty, 13 directly and 20 indirectly affected the two ethnicities. The many million Sudeten Germans deported from Czechoslovakia, as well as the exiled victims were commemorated in a Sunday service celebrated in the Church of Homecoming in Budapest. The representatives of the deported Sudeten Germans also took part in the ceremony.
The retired bishop Lóránt Hegedűs stressed that after the II World War many million innocent Germans had to leave their homes as they were labelled as a collectively guilty nation. As opposed to the imprisoned, the persecuted have the freedom of movement, however they are deprived of security by losing their home and nest. This results in the state of hopelessness, he added. Reverend Lóránt Hegedűs jr. pointed out that it is the sin of Europe that even today the European Union does not officially commemorate some of the most shameful tragedies, amongst others the horror of the deportations of the Sudeten Germans. It is sad that none of the Hungarian churches, and also within the Calvinist community only the Church of Homecoming remembered the victims of the deportations and celebrated a Sunday service in remembrance, he pointed out.
In his speech of commemoration Márton Gyöngyösi, an MP of the Hungarian political party Jobbik, vice-president of the Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, touched upon the long decades of silence in Hungary, when the tragic fate of the Sudeten Germans, the Hungarian and the German victims of the Benes Decrees and the deportations of ethnic Germans living in Hungary for centuries, were prohibited topics. The politician rejected the wide-spread politics of double standards in today’s Europe, which declares as absolute the sufferings of one nation and thereby relativises all other tragedies. Remembering the 18 million German victims, out of which 2 million were killed and 16 million deported and exiled between 1944 and 1948, is a long-outstanding liability of European nations, he added. He declared: as a politician he and his party will continue to strive against the silence surrounding the shameful tragedies of history. The sufferings of the Sudeten Germans, as well as the deportations of Hungarians will yet have to gain their position in the collective national remembrance, he added.
Horst Rudolf Übelacker and Erich Högn took part on the commemoration as the representatives of the Sudeten German victims of the deportations. In their speech of honour they expressed their gratitude to all Hungarians and the community of the Church of Homecoming for their support in the tragedy of their people. They highlighted that numerous European countries still today do not remember the tragedy of Germans as they judge the events of the past and the innocent victims on the basis of collective guilt. Following the service the community wreathed the memorial plaque commemorating the 1944-45 terror against Hungarians, the victims of the 1947 Paris peace-dictate, and the German victims deported and exiled from their homeland in 1944-48.

This article is full of mistakes, lies and propaganda. NAZIfans and racists must be happy, as I see in the Patrick reaction. Hungary and Germans have the same idea. Destroying Czechoslovakia. With the arms, or with the law. The list of victims of Hungarian and Germans acts for the last 1000 years against Czech and Slovak people is limitless. After all, is here chance to stop it, to forgot all crimes on both sides, mainly on Germany&Hungarian side. But some Hungaries and Germans never stops. Dont be silly. This is just another try to change history to their profit. Czechs an Slovaks want nothing from tham. Why thay are always trying to steel something from Czechs or Slovaks?
Wow Church of Homecoming. Now this is humanity.
This is what Gene Roddenberry so often spoke of.
If Captain Picard were here, he would be arguing that humanity must look in the mirror and face this inhumane tragedy that unfolded because of racism against Germans.
collective guilt was outlawed by the “New United Nations” after Earths Third WW in Star Trek, which was a war to exterminate so called “Whites” Japhethites off the face of the Earth.
17 million Germans were genocide in 1932 by Marxist in Russia.
Another 1 1/2 million were systematically hunted down in there homes and villages in Poland and killed and nailed to the sides of barns in 1937/8.
It was these tragedies unanswered by the international comunity that led Germany to rush into Poland in aid of fellow human beings being mass murderd by racist.
Germany tried to rescue these helpless civilians and free human beings in India and of the whole world, and what did Lucifer do to European Christian Nationalist when they tried to protect humans made in God’s image, Lucifer strengthen his campaign of Race/Hate against Japhethites for invasion and eventual extermination.
Europeans have the complete right to Europe, which North America is our home land which broke off of the side of Europe ie(Continental Divide) South America broke off of Africa and thus belongs to Africans, North America to Aryans, and all of Asia to Asians.
Each of the three Sons of Noah, thus the three races of the Earth, Aryan, Asian, African each rightful are to hold 1/3 of the Earths Surface.
