I read, in an article today:
"Those who deny that the Holocaust happened maintain that although it didn’t take place, it should have. The motivation—the deep structure, to use Chomsky’s terminology—of Holocaust denial is the belief that those who suffer are virtuous, and since the Jews are villainous, they couldn’t have suffered."
I don't believe it never took place myself, but I want to figure how others feel about it. It makes me sad that people would deny such a thing if it did exist. And how can someone, numbers of people actually that consider themselves recognised researchers, conclude that the Holucaust in fact didn't take place?
I met a survivor a few years ago who said with sadness that at a talk he gave to students of one school, he was treated badly by the students, because they were taught by their history teacher, that the Holucaust never happened. So basically, that teacher had invited the poor guy to their school to abuse him? To prove what?
The quote is from
