Ping for later.
I've actually met people who think it never happened. One no more than a 16 year old school girl. Terribly sad.
Those with dirty hands in this matter, including the Vatican, wish the memory of the Holocaust would go away. It almost had when Stephen Spielberg brought out "Schindler's List".
Never forget.
Ping!
Holocaust denial is only one segment of Nazi revisionism. The others are Holocaust Diminishing (It happened, but it was not 6 milion, maybe 600,000 or one million, two million tops") and Holocaust awareness dilution.
Lowlifes of Stormfront type are not the main problem because they are ignored by the mainstream media.
The problem are eloquent, educated who have full access to the mass media.
Dilution of awareness is acheived by robbing the terms of their meaning. One can often say liberals and leftists ranting about "Israeli Nazis", "Polish Death Camps" and the like. The very word "holocaust" is used for everything, even colloquially (we had a holocaust, our budget proposal was rejected")
Stupid Nazi revisionists are deniers. Smarter are Diminishers. The most vicious are diluters.
Diluters have access to PR agencies and media and their views shape public opinion. One diluter is worth more than thousand Stormfront skinheads.
The damage to the memory of the dead is immesurable. They erase it effectively with various propaganda techniques, that are not obvious. Stupid Nazi revisionists often get arrested because of the violent acts. Smarter ones got arrested for spreading hate speech and denial (Zundel, Irving). The smartest ones never get arrested. They profit.
Here are three examples how diluters work. During Bosnia civil war, the headlines screaming "Belsen" and fake photos
appeared in British papers. The name Belsen was chosen because over 50% of British adult population has NEVER heard of Auschwitz.
The implication is clear. If Belsen 92 was fake, so was Belsen 42. The circulation surpassed anything Nazi types in dark alleys or internet can disseminate. Clear win for Nazi side.
During Kosovo campaign, the stories of fake incinerations of corpses in alleged Trepca smelter, were widely circulated in European and American press.
Daily Mirror published without blinking: Trepcathe name will live alongside those of Belsen, Auschwitz and Treblinka,
Trepca was a fraud. And people read it without blushing, or protesting. If the name of the fraudulent crematoria live alngside those of Belsen, Auschwitz and Treblinka, implication is clear- Belsen, Auschwitz and Treblinka are also fraud.
Last but not least, go to GOOGLE search engine and type BELSEN and see how many hits you will get. (641,000 when I checked), , Belzec (227,000) Majdanek(240,000),Mauthousen (80), Ravensbruck (398,000), Sobibor (366,000), Treblinka (510,000)
Then, repeat the search for Srebrenica.
The lie about Srebrenica is earmarked to become the symbol of genoicide. It already casts the shadow over Holocaust extermination truth by sheer volume displacement.
One may ask, who are the Diluters and what steps ADL, USHMM are taking to stop them.
The answer to this question is long due.
