That's exactly why when the allies took the camps they rounded up the locals; the political leaders, reporters, military officers, the intelligencia and marched their happy asses thru the camps, took them them to the refugee centers and hospitals were the victums were recovering.

Showed them the skeletal bodies, the malnourished, the tortured and the maimed. Opened up the mass graves, marched them past mounds of dead bodies, past piles of teeth extracted for their gold fillings. Around piles of broken, cast off childrens toys and the debris of upwards to 20 million dead.

Pretty hard to be a credible revisionist when an entire generations nose has been rubbed in the evidence.

But now excessive censorship is the usual way it seems to cover up or distort the real "Truth"?! and such is the shame. No matter the actual numbers of people that did die.

The worst part is the press or local government trying to keep it all quiet. "Hush dont say anything about what really happened!" Then the people will forget it all in time!?

You’re exactly right, and the danger of such cover-ups and distortions was simply but eloquently said by the poet and philosopher George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

No more religion, no more cigarettes, no more driving over 50 miles an hour, no more playing conkers in the school playground. No taxation without representation.

Just pick your own idea of paradise and the fatherland will provide it for you.

Hey, I thought you guys might find this interesting.

Actually what I probably should have said is "no representation without taxation".

Censorship: “Not all speech is protected.” Fascism, while it should be studied, shouldn’t be protected. It is hate speech, pure and simple. ¿Would it be acceptable for me to call for the mass murder of all blacks? ¿Or perhaps to demand they be banned?

But Fascism should be studied; All of you should be old enough to remember the Yugoslavian “civil war” (as the Serbs like to call it, “Bosnian Massacre” as the United Nations referred to it), or the Rwandan “Civil war” (again same old story); All versions of Fascism.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
