Prussian Holocaust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Prussian Holocaust is a highly controversial one. It is relatively obscure and never used among mainstream historians because its usage is often viewed as an attempt to create a moral equivalence between The Holocaust and other historical events through use of the same word.
When used, the term "Prussian Holocoaust" may refer to one of the following:
- The burning of a Belgian library and general sack of the town of Leuven by German troops in the World War I. [1]
- The events that followed the occupation of East Prussia by Soviet troops in the course of the Second World War, (See Evacuation of East Prussia).
