During his one-day trial in Vienna, the 67-year-old historian admitted that in 1989 he had denied that Nazi Germany had killed millions of Jews.

He said this is what he believed, until he later saw the personal files of Adolf Eichmann, the chief organiser of the Holocaust.

"I said that then based on my knowledge at the time, but by 1991 when I came across the Eichmann papers, I wasn't saying that anymore and I wouldn't say that now," Irving told the court.

"The Nazis did murder millions of Jews."

Heard the same thing on CNN. They said he questions whether 6 million were killed. Either way, none would have been killed if the Germans and Austrians weren't Nazis.

You'd be surprised how much historiographical debate there has been about this. Just go to a uni library and look for articles about Daniel Goldhagen.

Well, no. I've heard the term used for other genocides. When Jews are speaking of a holocaust relevant to them, they use the definite article. To wit, saying you're going to the office doesn't imply there is only one office in the world.

Why bother? It's a fact that the Nazis put the Jews in the camps and that they also started WW2. No Nazis, no Holocaust or WW2. It's an open and shut case.

All of humanity now uses "The Holocaust" when refering to the Jewish Holocaust of WWII. Refer here...
http://www.blackholocaustmuseum.org/ Hollywood movies uses this terminology as well. There were many holocausts but this one is special some how.

Holocaust denial is the game of the day in Europe. British communists downplay both of The Holocausts all of the time, every day because it makes Muslims and Communists look bad.

You know how Jews hate Nazis because of the Jewish Holocaust of WW II? I'm half Slav so I hate Communists the same way. I'm also Christian so I'm entitled to hate Turks and Muslims the same way. Thats fair. The EU politicians worked very hard at Holocaust denial during Turkey's entry discussions. Again, Holocaust denial is the game of the day in Europe.

I wonder why anyone bothers, either. It's a largely esoteric debate between Zionist and non-Zionist historians and Holocaust studies academics. Some of the Zionists would like to argue that a mass slaughter of Jews would have happened regardless of whether Hitler had existed or not, Europe was so violently anti-Semetic. This, in turn, helps to justify early Zionism and the creation of the state of Israel in their minds. Holocaust historians not buying such logic (Lucy Davidovitz comes to mind) argue that this is counter-factual reasoning and merely hijacking history to propagandise.

Oh the joys of all those grad-school historiography seminars.

Lucky you. I had the pleasure of studying linguistics in grad school. It was a rather tedious endeavor. No two researchers seemed to agree with one the other. Nevertheless, they could all argue their theories quite eloquently. Wink

WALL STREET & THE RISE OF HITLER



By Antony C. Sutton

http://images.google.com/images?q=Antony+C.+Sutton&hl=en

Finally, a distinguished scholar has penetrated the cloak of falsehood, deception, and duplicity that for more than thirty years has protected one of the most incredible secrets of World War II: the support from key Wall Street financiers and other international bankers in subsidizing Hitler's rise to power.

Professor Antony C. Sutton proves that World War II was not only well planned, it was also extremely profitable—
for a select group of financial insiders.


Carefully tracing this closely guarded secret through original documents and eyewitness accounts, Sutton documents the roles played by J.P. Morgan, T. W. Lamont, the Rockefeller interests, General Electric Company, Standard Oil, National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, and scores of other business elitists.

http://reformed-theology.org/html/books/wall_street/index.html

VIDEO INTERVIEW:
http://www.1984videos.com/police_state/Wallstreet_financing_Hitler_and_Lenin__Stan_Monteith_interviews_Anthony%20Sutton.wmv

Another historian they likely should have tried to have silenced.

Warts and all (not just the sanitized version) the "TRUTH" is indeed often far more stranger than fiction.

Just heard this reported on a talk show radio program.

Did he or did he not have a heart attack & a stroke?

Someone perhaps trying to "Milosevic" Irving?

saying which genocide is worse than another is a usless topic however:


here are some facts about the holocaust


1) Hitler wanted Jews who ran away to other nations - even Asia returned.

2) Another thing I do believe that is the Turkish genocide of Armenians. Armenians who changed their religion were spared.

3) Also to be a Jew all one needed was one or two Jewish grandparents.

4) Even having one Jewish great grand parent meant sterilization.

5) Jews were killed before others in concentration camps, for instance 50% of Homosexuals in concentration camps survived but the survival rate for Jews was far lower.

6) Germany also diverted resources from the war effort to make sure the concentration camps were able to finish the job.

7) According to German records plans were made to extend the holocaust to other nations - such as the US.

EVEN PALESTINE ??? Somehow i doubt it.

Another "fact" is that, without the Holocaust, ISRAEL likely would never even have come into existence.

Just a happy "HEGELIAN" coincidence for the Zionists who'd been pushing hard for a separate special "homeland".

Too bad for ALL the assimilationists Confused

Oh yes, while we're on the topic of FACTS, remember that prior to 1948
MOST of Palestine's Jews were content to live under Jordanian rule as an ethnic & religious minority
.

Hmmmmmmmm ... Idea

You never heard about the Mufiti & Hitler?

Yes the region of Palestine was certainly on Hitlers list.

Jordanian rule? You mean Transjordan - whose borders were made by the British.

Adolf Hitler's "Fake" Passport



This fake passport for Adolf Hitler was made by the Special Operations Executive (SOE). The work of this group was to organise resistance in countries taken over by the Germans during the Second World War. After the war, examples of the documents they made were preserved to illustrate their work.

SOE relied on the use of undercover agents or spies. They sent nearly 500 agents into France alone. To assist these agents, SOE ran a forgery section that made fake documents ranging from passports to firearms licences, travel permits and work passes. They often made use of the skills of counterfeiters and forgers recently released from prison.

This passport shows what the forgers were capable of producing. It also hints at their sense of humour and their opinion of Hitler and his beliefs. They've given Hitler's passport a red 'J' (which stood for 'Jew' on a German passport).

He has a visa allowing his entry into Palestine, which was under British control at that time. The passport also describes Hitler's occupation as a 'painter'. Under distinguishing features, they list his 'little moustache'.
