Denying Genocide, Beyond the Holocaust

To the Editor:

Professor Deborah E. Lipstadt's insightful essay, "Genocide's Toxic Legacy" (The Chronicle Review, February 18), excerpted from her new book The Eichmann Trial (Schocken Books), pinpoints the central evil of the 20th century, namely, abolitionist anti-Semitism, which is spilling over into the rhetoric of the 21st century. Even after the Holocaust, that anti-Semitism persists stubbornly. Lipstadt rightfully makes the case that the Nazi brand of Jew hatred remains an integral, malignant part of contemporary thought.

Her focus is exclusively on denial of the Holocaust. She omits mentioning the denial of non-Holocaust genocides. One instance is the bitter debate over the status of the Armenian calamity. Academics and poli­ticians are still struggling over the proper term—genocide or massacre. Depending on whom one consults, the issue is by no means resolved.

Another example is the classification of the victimization of the Roma (Gypsies) by the Nazis. What was unseemly about this debate was that the deniers wanted to preserve the "uniqueness" of the Hol­ocaust. Some of those deniers are not far from upholding anti-Semitic tendencies. They need to be exposed.

"...when you have laws against questioning the Holocaust narrative, you are screaming at the other person to stop thinking!!!" ---Michael Santomauro, March 23, 2011

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro

An anti-Semite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an anti-Semite.--Michael Santomauro

Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish. Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro

Thank you and remember: 

Peace is patriotic!
