Who was really Salvador Allende?
By Juan Carlos Girauta
This is, textually, the enigmatic question that one day made him Simón Wiesenthal, the celebrated hunter of Nazi, to Victor Farías, philosopher, historian, Professor of the Freie University of Berlin, academic in United States and Argentina.
Victor Farías is about to return to its native Chile after forty fruitful years in Germany, where it was beloved student of Heidegger. With the time, it would finish deepening in the connections of their teacher's philosophy - and of the same teacher - with the nacionalsocialismo ; Heidegger and the nazism became an editorial event and intellectual after remaining unpublished five years. Editorial fear, something to what the author is accustomed: twenty-five years he/she had to wait to the printing The Chilean left. Much less it has taken their last work, Salvador Allende. Anti-Semitism and Euthanasia, in spite of the rejection of their editorial, Seix Barral, and also of Planet that you/they considered it “a stupendous book, but impublicable”. The same thing that other fourteen editorials.
Who sits down some affection for Salvador's figure Allende, that is to say, the whole left, is about to meet with an unpleasant surprise, to say it smoothly. They will remember to the former socialist president from Chile like the revolutionary martyr that so many youths cry in the years seventy before the estremecedoras final scenes of The battle of Chile, that endless movie that he/she was necessary to see for pieces. In fact it was a convinced one anti-Semitic, a defender of the genetic predetermination of the criminals that extended their racism to Arab and gypsy, it considered that the revolutionaries were dangerous psychopaths that it was necessary to try as sick mental, propugnó the penalization of the transmission of venereal illnesses and it defended the sterilization of those alienated mental. You devise rejected by the in the middle of world public opinion, with a single exception: the Nazi Germany. Because Allende in fact defended these postures in the years thirty.
He/she has it very difficult who tries to deny these ends; the same Allende left it all written in two pieces that have stayed hidden until today and that Farías has rescued. It is mental Hygiene and delinquency, the memory or thesis that Allende presented in the University of Chile in 1933 to obtain Medical Surgeon's title, and the Bill that elaborated being minister of the government's of the Popular Front Health (1939-1941) of Pedro Aguirre Sow. I plan that it didn't arrive to the parliament for the rejection of the society in general and of the medical class in particular, highlighting the front opposition of the first authorities of the moment in psychiatry and genetics, the doctors Vila and Cubillos.
In declarations to the newspaper The Nation, Allende explained his project as “a legislative tripod in defense of the race”: obligatory treatment of the toxicomanias, of the venereal illnesses - “becoming crime his infection” - and “sterilization of those alienated mental”. Allende foresaw the creation of a Tribunal of Sterilization, inaccessible to the sick person's family and competent to dictate inappealable sentences. We read in the Article 23 that “all the resolutions that dictate the sterilization tribunals (...) they will be taken to effect, in the event of resistance, with the aid of the public force”. Farías underlines those “incredible analogies between the Nazi project and that of Salvador Allende”, between the Law of Sterilization of the Chilean and the “Law to guard against a descendant with hereditary hangups” dictated by the Third Reich in 1933. The number and type of illnesses that both norms pick up are identical; they contain almost same chapters. As for the differences, he/she is harder Allende: the sterilization of the chronic alcoholics is obligatory in the Chilean project, not in the German law.
But let us allow to speak to the Allende of mental Hygiene and delinquency: “Hebrews are characterized by certain crime forms: it swindles, falsehood, calumniates and, mainly, the usury”. Referring to the revolutionaries, it highlights “the pernicious influence that it has more than enough masses an individual can exercise apparently normal and that, in fact, when studying it it would demonstrate us to belong to a certain group of mental dysfunctions (...) this type of collective dysfunctions sometimes has epidemic characters, and it is for that reason that when revolutionary movements explode in certain countries, these spread with incredible speed to the neighboring states.” Curious thought for a declared Marxist.
In a recent interview for the newspaper The Segunda, Farías points out that “In Chile there was and there is a great quantity of antijudíos. The incredible thing is that while the Nazi leaders González von Marées, Carlos Séller and Tomás Allende, the writer's father Isabel Allende, they affirm that the Jews are a damage, but they recognize the plurality of the races, in their Memory Allende is shown as anti-Semitic in the biological sense.”
It is not strange that who defended the theses of the racial determinism, the genetics of the crime for Jews, Arab and gypsy who took communion with the negative eugenics of the Nazi, it finished protecting in the years seventy, being already a President, to the criminal of Nazi war Walter Rauff, residing in Chile. The accusation comes directly from Wiesenthal. He put Victor Farías on the hint when it approached it, after receiving the Great Necklace of the RFA, with the question that serves us as title: Who was really Salvador Allende? The answer has gone her seeing, and it is completed answering to another question: Who was Walter Rauff, the one protected of the Popular Unit?
Walter Rauff was the inventor of the extermination system with trucks of gas and, therefore, the responsible for the death of half million of people in Auschwitz, a merciless criminal that murdered “practically with its own hands”, Farías explains, to more than a hundred thousand people. Simón Wiesenthal wanted for Rauff a similar end to that of Adolf Eichmann. For that reason he/she wrote the socialist president narrating the criminal's of war cruelties that their country welcomed. In answer, Wiesenthal received “a cold letter”. there were more useless letters. The hunter of Nazi authorized Farías to publish them. They appeared in the epilogue of Nazi in Chile, unchaining a sour polemic among the philosopher and Allende's daughter, Isabel.
That the reader decides if there is relationship among those two shades in Salvador's biography Allende: the one that hangs on the doctor and minister of the years thirty, the one that clouds the president of the seventy, time in that the powerful icon of the progressivism was forged. Between the racist of mental Hygiene and delinquency, soon minister responsible for a Law of traced Sterilization of the Nazi legislation that was being applied in Germany, and the president of the Popular Unit that saddens and it disappoints Simón Wiesenthal, sowing the suspicion.
Who was really Salvador Allende? - Wiesenthal asked Victor Farías, inviting him tacitly to investigate.
But if it is so well-known...
No, nr. Allow me to count him: I wrote Allende relating him the criminal's of war cruelties Walter Rauff, residing in Chile.
And what did he/she respond him?
I received a cold letter. As Salvador it was an icon in the whole world, a victim, I left it there. But maybe you can help.
How?
I could help to look for the letters, because I lost them.
It seems evident that if Wiesenthal wanted that Farías helped him it is because he/she believed that Allende's negative to surrender to Rauff should be credited in the future. The Chilean philosopher took several years, but he found the correspondence finally. A letter slept in an Italian file, another in Austria... AND then he/she contacted Wiesenthal:
Can I publish them?
Yes, although it is sad.
The letters saw the light in the epilogue of Nazi in Chile. And, indeed, it was very sad, because they revealed, in words of Farías, “the true historical identity” of Allende, the leader that became strong in the Palacio of the Currency that died after leaving engraving a message whose audition still shakes us. The publication indignated the martyr's daughter, Isabel who, “very altered”, he/she screamed to Farías to the telephone: “My dad is not Nazi!” He responded that his father that revolutionary was proclaimed, he had refused to give to a criminal of war, and in passing it pointed to “two personalities that (him) they accompanied very closely in his political itinerary: Eduardo Novoa Monreal and Enrique Shepeler.”
We know that in 1972 Wiesenthal requested to the president from Chile that began the opportune steps to process Walter Rauff for the first time or, more exactly, to reopen the process against him. In 1963, the Chilean Court had settled the matter invoking the prescription of the imputed crimes. According to the tribunal, the thirty year-old step impeded any penal performance. Wiesenthal fenced before Allende what we all know that the crimes against the Humanity don't prescribe. But it is not limited to invoke the general principle, but rather he/she puts on in the tesitura of reminding the president from Chile the international legislation signed by their country, and it mentions up to three treaties: of 1948, of 1952 and of 1970. These norms that link Chile, pick up with clarity the non prescription of the crimes against the Humanity and the primacy, in these matters, of the international justice on the national one. The conclusion is unavoidable: Allende incumple to conscience effective treaties.
Wiesenthal finds it incredible that the socialist doesn't accept so solid argument that she lies that she affirms that definitively you/he/she is not possible to act against Rauff because you/he/she is necessary to accept the resolutions of the Chilean justice. As Farías he/she affirms, “Salvador Allende assumes the doctrine previous to Nüremberg, therefore, of facto, it defends the position of a criminal of terrible war”, or “it is a concealment of one of the worst criminals of war that the humanity knows.”
He/she doesn't only fall a myth-other - of the left, it is also necessary to face a monstrous symmetry: the arguments that unfruitfully repeats in their letters Wiesenthal they are exactly the same ones that are used in the trial risen by Baltasar Garzón and Joan Garcés, the Valencian lawyer that interviewed with their coreligionist Allende in the Currency September of 1973, 11 some hours before the president's death, and that a century room later got that the judge Evans dictated detention order against Pinochet at the request of Garzón.
If we congratulate ourselves for the performances against Pinochet, we cannot justify an Allende that ignores the same foundation to liberate from punishment to Rauff that had killed hundred fifty times more than the Chilean dictator. If it is that the accounting paints something in the massive murder. And if we accept Allende's reasons, we cannot defend Pinochet's prosecution. Choose.
The polemic will revive more uncomfortable memories. Farías, interviewee in The Segunda aims March of 2005, 18 that exist other “lamentable biographical elements of Allende, like they are the money that he/she tries to obtain in surreptitious way of the Democratic Germany, or the big business with well-known characters of the economic world, as the Urenda of Valparaíso (...) fundamental desfases Exists in him, because he/she affirms that it is one of the founders of the PS, together with Grove and other hierarches, on the base of the Marxism-Leninism one, at the same time that he/she writes absolutely anti-Semitic texts and it points out to the revolutionaries as psychopaths (...) In Allende's life there are almost only incoherences.”
so allend was a anti-Semitic homofobic, this history was bases in teh investigaition of Simón Wiesenthal, the celebrated hunter of Nazi
