butterflyEmotionally, I mean. I'm reading this book, Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, which is a study of Holocaust denial. I almost threw up after the first five pages. How can anyone not believe that the Holocaust happened? It's a fucking historical fact. Which is something that the author mentions a lot, too. Fact. Not opinion.
I do want to keep reading the book, Deborah Lipstadt was smart to write a book about this, but it just makes me so angry. How can anyone...?
Nothing affects my emotions like the Holocaust, which I think is partially because I first read Anne Frank at such a young age. And I have this odd protectiveness about Judaism. My first response in any situation that involves Israel or Jews is to side with them. It reminds me a bit of my feelings for my brother. Feel first, think later.

Date: 2002-01-28 03:55 pm (UTC)The thing that bothers me is how a lot of people dont know everything about the holocaust and how major parts are left out of the history.
I dont know whether or not you know this, but Jews werent the only people killed homosexuals were too. The pink triangle was their symbol in prison camps.
They were treaed the worst out of any. They were at the bottom of the totem pole in the camps and most people have no clue.
