There is now pretty much compelling evidence to suggest that the extent of the Nazi crimes perpetuated on innocent Jewish civilians was grossly exaggerated.
These despicable war crimes took place at a time when radical Zionist organizations had been carrying out terrorist/insurgent activities to fulfill their dream of creating a Zionist state in Palestine.
It is totally understandable that such radical organizations would use any means possible to achieve their ends. It is possible that by manipulating the horror of genocide, and the guilt of Europe, it would be a useful weapon to realize their Zionist goals.
Certainly in the absence of discussion and debate(illegal in many European states), and the Jewish influence on Hollywood and the US government and media...have kept the "myth" alive.
But before we correct the history books to the commonly theorized figure of 300,000 jews murdered and the displacement of the entire race, we have to insure that we do not fall into the trap of being exploited by anti-semitic, fascist elements.
War is not a hero-filled Hollywood adventure, where the good guys wear make-up and blow-dried hairstyles. Mothers scrabble through dirt and rubble to collect smashed bones and bits of bloody body parts of their loved children and unemployed fathers struggle to scavenge food for hungry families after losing everything, even limbs. Hidden under the omnipresent unpredictable atmosphere of fear looms dysentery and disease. Displacement offers a shattered future void of dreams. The line between sanity and insanity blurs with each memory and experience.
Even if the statistic of 300,000 is correct, this does not excuse genocide and displacement. Civilians in Rwanda, (DRC)Congo, Sierra Leone, Palestine, Yugoslavia, Daafur and others...are also dead. Shockingly tortured, raped and murdered. Fleeing for safety, mourning lost lives and homes. There is no excuse for the lose of any of these lives...not one, not three hundred thousand. Whether in Nazi-Europe or occupied Palestine or deepest, darkest Africa...the world must wake up and prevent this madness.
