One inevitable fact of the passage of time
is that the eyewitnesses all eventually
die off. The job of writing history changes
as you get further away from the events.
Revisionism is perhaps the second stage
of historical writing, the "eyewitness stage
having been the first.
There are tons of documents and artifacts
from that period still to be studied.
Future generations of scholars will
still make careers of this material
for a long time.
Anyway, the "holocaust deniers" haven't
convinced me.
:cool:

Jethro,
Care to explain why you believe that a deliberate extermination policy of Jews didn’t exist, that gas chambers are a myth, and that although lots of Jews died, the deaths weren’t proportionally more than other groups?
I assume you know there's only one rule on the Cosmos-forum: no racist bullshit. Besides, what's the point of just stating what you are, without justifying yourself? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and wait for you to come up with something... It'd better be good.
Mankan,
may I recommend Russell's 'Human Knowledge'? Topics included: logic, philosophy of nature, religion, and the organisation of civilization...

Negative: Actually, I'm waiting for it to arrive from Amazon along with "The history of Western Philosophy" :)
Jethro: My girlfriend's grandmother was actually saved right out of the gaschamber at one point in a consentration camp, because of a malfunction. She is still alive to tell the story so don't you dare talk about them not existing.
