The context is interesting, and fits the person who wrote The Mauthausen 
Cantata. I found a news item in Yahoo: 
http://au.news.yahoo.com/031112/19/mhtw.html

Given that he is Greek, and that the statement was explicitly about "Greeks 
and Jews", I think he is making a point about fanaticism with which one 
might (or might not) agree. But those who want to take this to private 
email and discuss it further are certainly welcomed to explore it.
