Battle For The Holocaust - Henry Kissinger, Norman Finkelstein, Peter Novick (Part 5/6)

Channel 4's Battle for the Holocaust, broadcast on Britain's first official Holocaust Memorial Day, raises controversial questions about how the world perceives the Nazi extermination. In this programme, Jewish historians look at how our understanding of the Holocaust has changed in the five decades since the end of the Second World War and ask whose agenda is being served by the proliferation of museums, memorials and commemoration events.

@Dr1Canuckchuck The Prophets in Christianity didn't address the issue anyway. St. Augustine did, but he wasn't a 'prophet', and was asked by the Roman Empires government to produce new social policies anyway. Okay, so Leviticus shouldn't really be included in the Bible, or anything inserted by political figures. Thankfully increasing denominations dismiss sections of both Testaments if they appear to be third-parties that authored them.

@Redcarpet01 Well, I don't know if you'd call me a fanatic, but I am a Christian. However, I'm a REAL Christian, which means that I see judging others as a sin. It's God's job to judge, not Christian's job. I follow Jesus' teachings where he says to love all and judge not, lest ye be judged. It's not our job to persecute people for their sins, it's our job to tell them about Jesus and show them what we mean. You're right, they shouldn't have been there.

@Dr1Canuckchuck I'm aware of that. My point is that, however, by today's standards, that should not have been done. Only a religious fanatic of somekind would disagree.

@Redcarpet01 Well, if you want to know the truth, homosexuality was illegal everywhere in the world up until the 1960's. People went to prison for it all the time back then. Yes, there were gays that suffered there, too. The usual jail sentence for homosexuality wasn't THAT severe and they suffered and died along with the rest of them. The reason behind the allies allowing them to continue to suffer may have had something to do with that, they weren't anywhere near as liberal then as now.

[Redcarpet01]

@Dr1Canuckchuck Hear, hear. And for gay people sent into the camps too; with mention the Allies made them continue to suffer their terms of imprisonment.

Does anyone know if there are any memorials for the non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust anywhere? There were hundreds of thousands of Christians, dissenters, anti-Fascists, Communists, peaceniks, etc. who were also in those camps at the same time, enduring all of the horrors that the Jewish victims endured. They should also be remembered every day still.
