People who believe that the Holocaust was a hoax are either insane or liars. The documentation that it existed was immense and incontrovertable. So many people live for whom it was living memory. Do you honestly think, perchance, that so many Jews bothered to tattoo their arms, in such similar ways, and that it is all a ruse? My wife's uncle was part of Patton's army, that liberated several concentration camps - do you honestly think that the government went to the trouble of arranging Hollywood-like sets in advance, for the bamboozlement of all those soldiers, in a war zone yet? Or that those soldiers were hypnotized or deluded? My uncle-in-law is the finest, most honest and honorable man it has been my privilege to meet, and the revulsion and horror of the things he saw were still vivid, nearly fifty years agone. It may serve some dark, twisted purpose for the naysayers to deny that a Holocaust never happened. I can't quite believe it to be due to anti-Semitism - hatred of a race strong enough to commit oneself to such a horrific denial is an evil fantasy that anyone would have shuddered to contemplate. What motives there could really be I can't even begin to imagine. Such insane ravings of a 'Holohoax' should be treated with the contempt they deserve. Only a perverted jackal would dare invent such a bizarre creed, and as for those who perpetuate it... well, I supposed I promised I'd be civil. I can give you another one. Helen Clarke, Prime Minister of New Zealand apologised to the Chinese immigrants to New Zealand of the 1860s and onwards until about 1935 for the discriminating laws that were passed specifically for the Chinese immigrants like a poll tax. While he was President, Bill Clinton signed the Apology Resolution in 1993, on the 100th anniversary of the US overthrowing the legitimate government of Hawaii (1893). The US abducted the Queen of Hawaii, took ovr the islands and set up their own government against the will of the people. They never left. |
