Hilaire Belloc in the fireplace fell

There is certain irony, perhaps cruel

but irony nonetheless of the sort we

might call 'appropriate', that a man

who had done so much to stoke the

fires of antisemitism would, after a

million bodies had been burned in

Auschwitz, die of burns himself. The

fire had found its way to one of its

begetters and he who had burned with

hate now literally burned himself.
