To: Michael <reporternotebook@gmail.com>
You missed the point. Of course, some people are very knowledgeable about
something outside of their undergraduate or post-graduate degree. I know a
lot about Mozart, but that would not help me in my professional field.
Would you ask a group of lawyers about the best way to remove an appendix?
The point is that the group called professional historians has the final
word on history. That group, virtually unanimously, has said that current
Holocaust knowledge is accurate. They have been saying that since 1945,
despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of new documents and new
testimonies have been uncovered since then. Instead of spreading doubt, all
of the new documents and testimonies simply corroborate earlier research -
confirming that millions of innocent Jews were exterminated by Nazi Germany.
Mike, the community of professional historians has not only stated publicly
that known Holocaust facts are accurate, they have denounced Holocaust
revisionists. Do you perceive any wiggle room there? If so, then you're
saying that the world community of Historians is wrong and you are right.
Ergo, you know more about Holocaust history than hundreds of thousands of
professional historians who slaved over eight years of college and have
produced tens of thousands of approved thesis and dissertation projects
about the Holocaust. Hmmm. I'm trying to work that logic out in my brain.
It's just not happening, Mike.
A historian is a person who is an expert in history. This person is more of
an expert than someone whose expertise is in a different field. So,
historians know more about history than non-historians and virtually all
historians agree that Nazi Germany murdered millions of innocent Jews.
Mike, life can at times be confusing. But, when virtually every
professional historian tells me something about history, I tend to believe
it. Why don't you?

What sort of TRUTH is it that crushes the freedom to seek the truth?
