I did history at university and we as historians were not allowed to question if it happen at all, pretty amazing if the main methodology of
historical research is to ask the question why and when and if. People were frightened and most where bending over backwards to prove how they
believed in it
I have a reading list for my holocaust course most if all were either Jewish or pro Jewish, hardly objective is it, no debate all closed down.
However the killer is this, the evidence for the holocuast is so minute, in that it comes from thousands of different sources where one has to speak
and read a mired of languages, from Russian to Serbo Croat etc, it means that all the holocaust research is open to massive interpretation because of
the disparate nature of the so called evidence, there is no definitive proof in a single sense that it actually happened, but holocaust historians get
their view from all these disparate sources, thats why they never play the number game because there is lot of holes in this, thats why they want to
make it a crime to deny the holocaust, because it is so easy to disprove in a free historical research without political or social interference .
This is from the words of my course tutor and there was shock and silence in the room. I knew this of course, i was questioning as a historian, i was
not prepared to accept spoon fed what some idiot told me..
I won't even ask where you got your education.
Despite the German attempts to destroy indictable war crime documentation as WWII ended, despite the embarrassed silence of millions throughout
Eastern Europe, and despite attempts by anti-Semites worldwide to minimize or dismiss the Holocaust as a Jewish exaggeration or fabrication - it
happened and there is no possible question of it or it's scale.
More and more is being unearthed, literally, every year. Red Cross and Russian archives, closed to the public for decades, new mass grave sites, and
many underutilized sources have become increasingly available to historians.
Anyone traveling anywhere from Germany outward to countries like Poland, the Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary, etc can talk to people in towns where they
either witnessed or were told by relatives of mass murders by organized town mobs given bullets by the Nazis with instructions to use one each to put
to the head of every Jew in the vicinity.
Open bonfires of Jewish corpses and huge mass graves were monthly occurrences. The evidence is still being dug up by researchers.
I studied Russian in University, and have spoken with dozens of these people
when a mutual language exchange was possible. The shame has cast a pall on Eastern Europe for well over half a century. A collective hatred where
ordinary farmers and townspeople participated in collective lynch mob responsible for an estimated murder of maybe a million Jewish fellow
citizens.
The fact that such a disgraceful revisionist history as Holocaust Denial can be accepted by so many now, particularly ones claiming advanced
education, forebodes poorly for our culture.
