deny denial

Reminds me of the Nanjing Massacre, and Zhang Chunru. But the movie gave me another perspective, a legal trial between the plaintiff and the defendant. Indeed, for this case, it cannot be argued with historical survivors and a correct historical view. The legal trial has regulations and limits. Trial courts in the United States are also different, lawyers know best how to win this case! The heroine's experience and temperament are destined to have time to work with the lawyers and understand each other. For the so-called "historians", some of them may not really tell the real history, because no one knows the real history, and it is true that the historians who study according to their own thoughts may bring For those with "labels", I think people who write influential books need to write them objectively and truthfully, and viewers also need to look at them objectively. When I was in high school, a male classmate in the back seat liked Hitler, and he was reading books and biographies about him. I actively told him that I hoped he could run for the Communist Youth League, because I was the secretary of the Communist Youth League at the time. He told me that he would never join the League and join the Party. Hitler is an eternal belief. I was shocked. Based on respect, he did not comment. I wonder if he is still so firm!

Denial quotes

  • Richard Rampton: They're a strange thing consciences. Trouble is, what feels best isn't necessarily what works best.

  • David Irving: [first lines; in a video speaking to a sympathetic audience] I don't see any reason to be tasteful about Auschwitz. I say to you quite tastelessly that more women died on the back seat of Senator Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than ever died in a gas chamber at Auschwitz.

    [audience laughing and applauding]

    Deborah Lipstadt: Holocaust denial rests on four basic assertions. Number 1: That there was never any systematic or organized attempt by the Nazis to kill all of Europe's Jews. Number 2: That the numbers are far fewer than five or six million. Number 3: That there were no gas chambers or specially built extermination facilities. Number 4: That the Holocaust is therefore a myth invented by Jews to get themselves financial compensation and to further the fortunes of the State of Israel. War, the deniers say, is a bloody business. There's nothing special about the Jews, they're not unique in their suffering. They're just everyday casualties of war. What's the fuss?

    Deborah Lipstadt: Okay, and here's another question, how do we know the Holocaust happened? Seriously. I'm asking. How do we prove it? Photographic evidence? Not one person in this room or outside it has ever seen a photograph of a Jew inside a gas chamber. You know why? Because the Germans made sure that none were ever taken. So how do we know? How do we *know* that so many were murdered? So what's the proof? Where's the proof? How strong is it?
