Holocaust Denial

Holocaust Denial

Friday, December 15, 2006

It is simply remarkable that over sixty years after the Holocaust there was a conference being held in Tehran, Iran, to discuss whether or not the Holocaust actually ever happened. Even more remarkable is that the conference itself was put together by President Ahmadinejad of Iran. Incredibly, instead of the international media posting photos of the Holocaust and its victims of Nazi genocide to educate the unsuspecting public, media published articles proclaiming that the Holocaust denial conference was sure to “upset and annoy” some folks who “opposed the conference” from taking place, but since it was being held in Iran, nothing could really be done about it. As Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial conference convened, media didn’t publish one single article about what political considerations led up to the Holocaust, how it began, how it was implemented and expanded in Europe and then how the allies in World War II put a stop to it. There was not one single professional media article from any of the top international media outlets that covered the Holocaust, and instead gave President Ahmadinejad and his crew of anti-Semites space in their newspapers and on television to talk about the “fallacies” of the Holocaust. The logic that the Holocaust denial crowd uses to attack the factual history of the Holocaust itself is morally defective. How is it possible that educated human beings of history silently allow a perversionist rewriting of history by the forces of anti-civilization? The Library of Congress could be filled to the ceiling over 100 times with evidence of the Holocaust.

The hatred of the Jews by fundamentalist Islam, the German Reich, and other groups dates back a long way. The Jews are, after all, the chosen people of the Holy Bible, so in history there have always been folks interested in trying to wipe the Jews out of existence. The German people sought out their prince in Adolf Hitler because Germany was becoming a dangerously secular nation-state system. The process that moved the German people away from religion actually began with Martin Luther’s break from the Catholic Church in the 1500s. Once a Catholic Priest, Martin Luther became dismayed at the overindulgences of the papacy. Luther started what became known as the “Reformation”, or simply the belief that any human being that reads the bible and believed in Christianity did not need other human facilitators to communicate with God. Luther’s new religious philosophy struck at the heart of power in Catholicism throughout Europe and the Reformation would eventually culminate in a revolutionary way in Protestantism in England.

Now, how is Martin Luther the key player in the German peoples’ acceptance of Adolf Hitler four centuries later? The answer is clear. When Martin Luther walked away from the Catholic Church, a revolutionary process was ignited in the German people to collectively question whether or not God existed. Later German philosophs such as Hegel and Nietzsche created the foundation of Nazi totalitarianism in their writings. What is important here is the truth that as civilizations become more technologically advanced, they become more secular and then human interference with religious institutions becomes more prevalent in society. Technological progress by human beings begins to be confused with levels of omnipotence in the human condition—hence the claim by German philosophs that “God was dead” and only through careful guidance from the mortal human being empowered by the state could humanity be led to truth. That is why the German people were already primed for the Holocaust even before the start of World War I. History teaches us that Hitler used the circumstances after World War I to try and justify the slaughter of six million Jews in Europe and the Soviet Union, but it is clear that the German people had moved away from humanity and began to think of themselves as gods. When human beings think of themselves as gods, it becomes much easier for humans to begin to contemplate the disposition of other human beings in the global community. If one particular race of human beings believes that it is god, other races of human beings can expect to be exterminated by them. That is what history teaches us about fascism in National Socialist Germany and why armies of millions had to be gathered together to put a stop to it. World War II taught us that humans are not gods nor ever will be, nor can human beings ever have the right to question the disposition of other human beings.

What made the Holocaust unique among the genocides that have taken place in history is that no other recorded genocide had ever used the bureaucracy of the state in order to wipe out a complete race of people. Adolf Hitler started the genocide against the Jewish peoples in the Soviet Union after German forces were projected through Poland. German Nazi SS and German Landesgrupen were put in charge of the entire critical infrastructure planning that was created through slave labor to make the Holocaust plan as efficient as possible. When Hitler and his advisors decided to let German civilian functionaries in on the plan to wipe out the Jews he ordered the Wannsee Conference to gather together the top German civilian minds to formulate the Final Solution. The German public was officially recruited to assist in the Holocaust at that conference.

Now you will hear Holocaust denial radicals claim that the German public did not know what was going on in the concentration camps in Germany, and that Hitler did not possess the capability to wipe out six million Jews. The ridiculous logic used by the Holocaust denial industry is truly legendary. First, if your neighborhood started to be emptied out of one particular race of people and as it was being emptied out those folks were put on trains and relocated to points unknown, would you notice? We are talking about people that had lived in Germany for many generations and had established corporations, business, homes, friends, neighbors and all the other things that make up a community. Then those folks started to disappear, but German civilians didn’t notice it? The entire German civilian non-Jewish population had no idea that Jews were being hauled away to concentration camps? Do you see how ridiculous it is to claim that German civilians did not know what was going on? If you had neighbors living next door to you for thirty years and then the Nazi SS dropped by to take them away to points unknown, could you deny your neighbors were taken away?

The Holocaust is the ultimate example of genocide because not only was the entire German military institution on board for the program, but the civilian population was as well. German civilians performed record-keeping and other logistics functions. German civilians operated the trains that brought Jewish people from all Axis occupied territories to the concentration camps and the same civilians kept the camps and the soldiers stationed at those camps supplied for their nefarious mission.

This is what happens when an entire population moves away from religion and man forces atheism upon the people in the belief that God does not exist or is dead. If no God is watching, it is easier to wipe out other races of human beings. The same can be said for theocracies that believe that there is no other religion but their own, and humans that worship other deities must also be exterminated. Genocidal revolutionary behavior is not limited to the atheist collective alone.

Because of the Holocaust of the 20^th Century, there are only 15,000,000 Jews left world-wide. Only 15,000,000 are left. No other race of human beings on this planet has population numbers that low. If Jews were American Eagles, they would be placed on the most endangered species list and government would criminalize and provide heavy sanctions upon any entity that harmed them. Knowing this, it is incredible that Jews are killed with near impunity by fundamentalist Islam and Holocaust denial conferences are held with positive western press by the leftist international media apparatus. Based upon their numbers, the killing of any Jew should be a crime against humanity.

Holocaust denial is also a systemic condition in human beings that paves the way for the ignoring of other genocide around the world. Rwanda was the denial of genocide. Bosnia-Herzegovina is another example of genocide denial. Darfur is the latest example.

The threats that the Jews face today are just as grave as the one that they faced in 1930s Germany and 1940s Europe specifically. The Jewish population cannot withstand another genocide attempt. Feeding into the new frenzy to destroy the Jews are other attempts at revisionist history in the Middle East, specifically over the creation of the “Palestinians” and the geopolitical crisis that exists between them and the Jewish State of Israel. Revisionist history is not only found in the Holocaust denial industry—it is also found in the full security scope of the Middle East and it must be confronted by truth.
