Default Re: Holocaust is Propaganda, friend says

Well worth a shufti Kevman:

'Nizkor' - (we will remember them.)
Holocaust Educational Resource (Nizkor)
Questions & Answers about the Holocaust
Fallacies

Something to watch out for is to check and recheck very carefully any Internet source for this kind of thing. So many sites appear to be serious but on digging turn out to be rather clever masks for extremist group's propaganda.
Distortion of the Holocaust in history is a serious aim for many, and they're often far more sophisticated than the lumpen skinhead image might imply. Solid sites have even been 'cloned' by others and had the message subtly twisted just enough to sound right on casual inspection but with darker subtexts built in.
There can also be a problem with information from certain anti-denial groups, the subject is understandably so emotively strong that it attracts axe-grinders of all stripes, and one must be fairly sure of the core beliefs & agendas of any source before using them.

Tread very carefully mate.

Ken McVay, the man behind Nizkor, is pretty solid, and hasn't come at it from any previously ingrained 'angle' or agenda, other than finding 'Hate' distasteful.
