Battle of history
Few people know that exactly a year ago, at its 102 meeting, the UN Committee on Human Rights made a decision deciding that the prosecution for “denial of the Holocaust” is unacceptable for countries that signed the Convention on Human Rights. Worldwide, this decision was silenced. The Committee stated: "The Convention does not allow any general prohibition on the expression of erroneous opinions or misinterpretations of past events." (Paragraph 49, CCPR / C / GC / 34). This decision concerns, first of all, the French so-called. the law on prosecution, which was passed, in particular, against Holocaust researcher Professor Robert Faurisson. Footnotes 9 and 116 specifically refer to "The Law of Faurisson": "The so-called" memory laws "as in the process of Faurisson v. France, number 550 / 93", regarding which it is written: "Criminalization of the existence of a person of his own opinion is not compatible with paragraph 1 Harassment, intimidation or stigmatization of a person, including arrest, detention, trial or imprisonment for opinions that they may hold, is in violation of article 1 article 19 ". (For text see http://www2.ohchr. org / english / bodies / hrc / docs / CCPR-C-GC-34_en .doc)Recall that in 1979, Mr. Robert Faurisson, a French philologist, wrote a book stating that the “myths” about the Holocaust and the gas chambers were created after the war. He was dismissed from the university, and later convicted. But in his defense was the famous linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky (himself a Jew by birth), who wrote: "I do not see anti-Semitism in denying the existence of gas chambers or the Holocaust. I also do not see anti-Semitism in statements that the Holocaust ... is used by apologists for Israeli repression and violence. "
However, it is believed that Paul Rassinier, a former member of the Resistance and a prisoner of Buchenwald, was the first to "deny the Holocaust". In 1948, he published the book “Crossing the Line,” and in 1964, in the book “European Jewish Drama”, he argued that there were no gas chambers (in fact, there is still no convincing evidence either for or against this thesis) and that 0,5-1,5 million Jews perished. In 1974, in the book "Did six million die?" Richard Harwood argued that the entire 10 of thousands of Jews had died ... Many "deniers" refer to the lack of specific documents signed by the German leadership, as well as to the omission of the Holocaust in the memories of the leaders of the Resistance, the same General de Gaulle. Further books against the Holocaust were written by David Irving, Jürgen Graf, Frank Hankins, Raul Hilberg, Wilhelm Stedlich and other historians. All of them, one way or another, were subjected to repression. In a number of countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Israel, Canada, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, France, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Canada and Israel), "Holocaust denial" is included in criminal codes.
Of course, it is impossible to deny the crimes of Adolf Hitler. It is impossible to deny the existence of the "death camps" themselves, in which Russians, Serbs, Poles, French, and, of course, Jews perished. The question is different. Whether the goals of the Hitler regime were purely “anti-Jewish” (as the Zionists and, incidentally, the “Hitlerists” themselves claim), or did the plans of the Führer and those who stood behind him include something completely different, and above all, dismemberment and destruction historical Russia.
The “Holocaust apologists themselves” also call it “shoah” - a sacrifice - and speak of its “mystery” and “unknowability”. But the former president of the World Zionist Organization, Naum Goldman, bluntly said in his Autobiography (1971) about the need for "Jewish solidarity" and that it was "the terrible extermination of millions of Jews by the Nazis that had a wake-up in the minds of ... this solidarity." On the other hand, Abram Zisman, who was sitting in the Stalinist camps, who fought in the penal battalion in the Soviet infantry, was captured by the Germans and later hid in Czechoslovakia, in his “Book on Russian Jewry”, the words of one of the prominent members of the Prague Jewish community: " Are these Hitler's executions a retribution for the vile participation of ours in Russia in 1917-1928? " (Stanislav Kunyaev talks about this).
At the same time, the Holocaust theme is obviously being used to create some kind of “world religion”, which has nothing to do with either Christianity or Orthodox Judaism of the “Mosaic Law”. The sacred sacrifice of Christ is replaced in this religion by a certain "collective sacrifice" of the "chosen people." “It’s not even about equality of the Church and talmudic Jewry,” writes Orthodox publicist Dimitri Savvin, “but about the hierarchy in which Jewry is given the leading role,” and at the same time “about the antisemitic“ sinfulness ”of the Holy Church, which is essentially its own is the denial and condemnation of the historical path of Christianity from the IV to the XX century "(see http://cas1961.livejournal.com/802662.html#cutid1).
The author of these lines does not "deny" and does not "argue" the fact of the Holocaust. It should be about scientific integrity - on both sides. And about spiritual sobriety - without falling into extremes. And the fact that the UN today is objective - on the side of such approaches - is not bad.
