Holocaust historians are only now piecing together the scattered research in many languages to understand the vast scope of the camps, prisons and punishment centers that scarred German-ruled Europe, like a pox on the landscape stretching from Greece to Norway and eastward into Russia.12/19 Update: Here is the 60 minutes segment that aired Sunday.

The archives are proof positive of the abuse by the Nazis of 17 million victims of the holocaust.
Where Holocaust denial is welcomedBy Frances Harrison
BBC News, Tehran
Iran has been severely criticised for hosting a conference questioning the Holocaust. Delegates included not only some of the world's best-known Holocaust deniers, but also white supremacists and anti-Semites.
Iran frequently plays host to those who criticise Israel.
In the BBC there's a lot of talk about impartial broadcasting. I've always wondered how that would work if you were the BBC correspondent in Nazi Germany reporting on Hitler.
Would you not have to take sides? Well I got closer than ever before to this problem reporting on Iran's Holocaust conference. Read more here.
It's amazing to me the amount of anti-semitism that seems to be found in more left thinking America. Read the comments on the Huffington Post or Daily Kos. It's shocking.

Couldn't find the articles ... got a link or two?
ReplyDeleteNot articles... Comments. Not suggesting that those sites are anti-semetic. In fact, I would venture to say that the owners of the sites are as upset by it as you and I, but there are some pretty nasty comments.
ReplyDeleteRead any story about Palestine/Israel. They're all over the place.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow-up mtr.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about people that hate ... can't come close to imagining what it must be like to hate so intensely.
Yikes! Sad stuff at Daily Kos! Thanks for the links - I think :(
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, my son points out that to be anti-Semite would be to be anti-Arab as well.
ReplyDeleteKB,
ReplyDeleteAs one who is 1/8th Jewish, and 3/8th Arabic (Isn't that ironic), I can safely tell you that half of my mom's relatives were 'exterminated' by this haulocaust-death-camps that 'never existed'.
It is amazing what people will whip up to justify a hate-laiden doctrine of pure unbridled ignorance.
Side note to Karen: In America the Klan is our equal-opportunity hate organization: it hates Arabs every bit, if not more than Jews. Most segretorial groups follow suit with them.
God Bless
