The book by Lipstadt provides a good overview about the Holocaust denial over 20 years ago. She did a thorough job, showed us who the deniers are and what they are talking about. She told us the history of those who claim that the Holocaust was exaggerated exaggeratedly from early pioneers like Harry Elmer Barnes and Austin App to today's their heirs like Mark Webber and Bradley Smith I showed it. She is the best Holocaust organization historical review institute founded by Willis Carto and David McCalden, who tells them who they are and who they are connected to. society
Lipstadt is paying close attention to the denial's claim that anyone who believes or refutes this content will read the book carefully. She disputed several key arguments and shows the lack of qualifications and credibility of some personality involved in the Holocaust denial, such as Fred Leuchter.
There are some interesting words to explain why people deny massacre, such as pure and incredibly horrible stories. Value cited:
"Reasonably, people want to assume that Leuchter is exposed as a person not eligible for [air chamber] analysis and his work has been proved to be scientific and methodological errors, so he The fate of Leuchter But the denial of the Holocaust and the Holocaust itself only remind to some extent that even unreasonable and good people are fatal, overwhelming many evidences, persuading people to pay most attention The concept of indignation and unsustainability is a fact. "P. 181
I have some small problems with Lipstadt. For example, at the University of London she said that Richard Harwood had no record as a member of a staff member or a student body. In the story of Harwood, he said "We cooperated with the University of London," but since Richard Harwood obviously pointed out that it was a pseudonym, of course he had no record.
The problem seems to be to open IHR's Humpty-Dumpty word game with the word "Holocaust". According to Mark Weber, deputy editor of the historical review magazine of the International Health Regulations, "If you mean political persecution of the Jews, everyone will kill if it means that a cruel affair has occurred" However, even if someone says that the "Holocaust" systematically destroys 6 to 8 million Jews in concentration camps, this is proof that we do not have any evidence. The Holocaust occurred; they simply denied that the word "Holocaust" meant that people were using it.
This strange 'logic' embodied by former Iranian president Mahmoud Najad believes that denying the Holocaust will destroy Israel since the Holocaust legalizes the Israel state. Unfortunately, as the Holocaust is an established fact, such people ultimately will achieve the opposite goal. Such a person will better understand the political opportunism of the movement outside the Palestine during the Holocaust against the rescue of Jewish refugees. As Ken Livingstone said, the movement itself was supported by the Nazis before the Holocaust. Even Zionist historian David Sesalani accepted this in his book "The Final Solution" (p. 96). "Gestapo's efforts are aimed to promote Zion's recovery as much as possible, and further support for efforts to immigrate" (my focus)
Many who deny the Holocaust believe that so-called "fraud" exceeds all interests of Israel. For these people, denying the Holocaust is also an attack on the justification of the Israeli state. After all, others denied the Holocaust as they wanted to see the resurrection of Nazis' racial discrimination. They argue that Nazism is a good political philosophy and that only the "negative" pressure caused by the report of genocide committed by Nazis hindered the resurgence of today's Nazi movement. They denied the Holocaust to attract followers to the new Nazis movement.
