Repeating Nazi Propaganda, From Kurt Vonnegut to NPR
By Raphael Mostel
Richard PeterMark Twain's astute observation that "a lie well-told is immortal" keeps coming to mind on the subject of the Dresden firebombing. As I was preparing in May for my first trip to Dresden, I was startled to hear a report by Tom Vitale on National Public Radio in which he repeated the propaganda of Josef Goebbels as fact.
Granted, Vitale was merely repeating what Kurt Vonnegut wrote in his best-selling book set in Dresden, "Slaughter House Five," which had just been reprinted as part of the Library of America series. But surely he should have noticed that in the book Vonnegut named the discredited, holocaust-denying "historian" David Irving as his source.
