REMANT - YOUR ARE A DISHONEST WRITER AND A DESPICABLE REVISIONIST OF HISTORY; YOU EMBED YOURSELF INTO THE MINDS OF OTHERS IN POLITE LANGUAGE SEEKING TO SWAY THE IGNORANT AND EDUCATE BOTH TO HATE JEWS AND ISRAEL.
Unfortunately, you have time on your side, as every day we see the passing of those who lived in those times of Holocaust, WW2, and Israeli Independence fought for it's survival. That passing includes the many non-Jews world over, who fought the Nazis and saw the Nazi's Concentration Camps with their own eyes, who smelled it with their own noses and tasted the ashes on their tongues, who felt it with their own hands and hearts, who in hearing the deathly silence of it then spoke of it to the world with their living tongues.
I desire only one gift from you, REMant, if you would part with it, and that gift would be a Nazi era lampshade made from the stretched belly skin of a Jewess murdered in childbirth, as was the customary practice by which Nazis
dispensed of pregnant Jewish women. Each time you write your hateful anti-Jewish invective, I think of the vast museum of such lampshades you must have collected over the years... such light to fill your mind and the minds of the world with!

Despite Lantzmann's difficulty with English he does convey something of his life - work, and especially of the work he did in making his masterpiece documetary, 'Shoah'. He by speaking to ordinary people years after the event , including not simply vicims, but bystanders, and perpetrators gave a new dimension to understanding what is arguably History's greatest act of evil, the deliberate Nazi effort to kill every Jew on earth , and completely destroy the Jewish people.
Lantzmann enabled witnesses to speak and be heard. God bless him for the courageous work he did.

A "literary lion" to be sure. But whenever anyone talks about holocaust, shoah or whatever, one has to ask what prompted it. Or at least whether the Jews were the only such victims in history.
According to a recent account of the Middle East, Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism, wrote in his diary in 1895: "We shall have to spirit the penniless [Palestinian Arab] population across the border by procuring employment for it in transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly."
The historian goes on: "By most accounts, by 1948 only 6 percent of the land belonging to Palestinians had
been bought by Zionists. Most houses were either simply destroyed or appropriated. One Israeli researcher has estimated that nearly four hundred Palestinian villages were 'completely destroyed, with their houses, garden-walls, and even cemeteries and tombstones, so that literally a stone does not remain standing, and visitors are passing and being told 'it was all desert.'
"One of the darker episodes of Israeli history on April 9 [1948], when more than two hundred inhabitants of the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin were massacred, their bodies subsequently mutilated and dumped in wells. Other cities and villages were quick to fall: Haifa, Jaffa, West Jerusalem, and eastern Galilee all in less than a week in late April, followed by equally decisive victories in the first two weeks of May. 'The attacks were brutal,' write two scholars. 'Through terror, psychological warfare, and direct conquests, Palestine was dismembered, many of its villages purposefully destroyed and much of its people expelled as refugees.' A massive Palestinian exodus out of Palestine was thus set in motion. Israeli sources put the number of refugees at 520,000, while Arab sources estimate the number to be anywhere between 750,000 and 1,000,000. Like so much else in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the exact causes of the exodus are still debated and discussed. Contrary to the long-accepted proposition that Arab radio broadcasts encouraged Palestinians to leave, it is now almost uniformly accepted that such broadcasts did not exist and that most Palestinians were in fact urged not to abandon their homes and communities. Instead, the exodus appears to have been the result of two primary factors. Sheer terror appears to have been most compelling, with many Palestinians fearing a fate similar to that of Deir Yassin's inhabitants. Psychological warfare only fueled Palestinian fears, as pamphlets dropped from the air warned Palestinians of the risks they faced if they stayed behind. Researchers later found that rumors of rape of women by Israeli soldiers and other 'Jewish whispering operations' accounted for the movement of a significant percentage of Palestinians. Equally instrumental were a variety of military actions. Notable was the Haganah's systematic depopulation campaign, aimed at clearing out clusters of Palestinians in the areas it considered to be territorially and strategically important. This campaign was officially adopted in May and June 1948 under the auspices of Plan Dalet, the basic premise of which was 'the expulsion over the borders of the local Arab population in the event of opposition to our attacks.' The plan officially went into effect on May 14, when the state was declared, by which time the exodus was well under way. Nevertheless, under the aegis of the plan, in July, in a ten-day period, over 100,000 Palestinians were driven into areas controlled by Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon. Another 100,000 to 150,000 refugees were expelled the following October."
I wonder, incidentally, how many of those of whom Mr Lanzmann writes are still living.
