Nazis and the Movies

mondo13, you appear to be an ill-informed, possible White Supremist, looking to make the Holocaust a worthy cause. If you were iny possible manner an educated person you would not have posted such drivel. I have been to Dachau and seen all of the horrors the Nazis recorded themselves. If you would really like to know what Hitler intended read "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle) where he outlines all of his intentions. Regardless of how you see Jewish people, no culture or group deserves the atrocities of the Holocaust. Stay off of the Conspiracy Theorist sites and use only credible sources before you choose to rant like a fool again...I apologize to all the survivors who may have read mondo13's postings....

I think there should be a film made about the 11,000+ people who have been imprisoned, beaten, bombed, tortured, etc., for researching the Holocaust legend during the past 2 decades and finding out facts that were not exactly as told by the powers that be. Canadians, Americans, Australians, and Europeans have been kidnapped from their homes and countries and dragged to Austria and Germany to be charged and jailed. This goes against just about every law in a free democracy. Even the lawyers that represented these people in court, were also arrested. How insane is that?

One man, was kidnapped from his home in Tennessee, jailed in Canada for 2 years in solitary confinement, then flown to Germany where he was sentenced to 5 years. All of this for simply publishing a book about Aushwitz that didn't agree with the 4 million dead figure at that time. Sure enough, the 4 million figure was changed to just over 1 million. Despite this, the man was still imprisoned. Not to mention his lawyer! THat is the real story of today and the Holocaust.

Norman Finklestein was right. Finklestein's own parents were in Aushwitz, but because he told the truth in his book, "The Holocaust Industry", he was persecuted by the ADL who went on a campaign to have him fired from his profession as a college professor at DePaul. This is the real story that needs to be told. We have 100's of Holocaust museums and movies already, with no end in sight for the future.

I am utterly and profoundly shocked by the negationist garbage in many of these comments. Am I dreaming? Is Newsweek, a respectable publication, actually sanctioning these hate-filled lies? They all should be under "Report Abuse." and by the way, never never debate a negationist. That only dignifies their vile contentions. But education, education, and more education. and some serious soul-searching among the innocents who might believe these reprehensible falsification of history.

I dunno. Obviously ''The Holocaust'' an ABC miniseries aired in the late 1970s with Meryl Streep and James Woods was an early Hollywood foray into the effects of the Shoah at large upon the European Jewish population. Televsion adaptations in the 1980s of Herman Wouks '' The Winds of War'' also dealt with Jewish concentration camp life and death. ''Mila 18'', ''Jakob The Liar'',''Triumph of the Will'', ''Sobibor'', placed the historical Jew into a central role[whether or not lead characters were played by gentiles] of resistance,survival,or death at the hands of the Nazis[ A term which is used generically to describe Germans as a whole in or out of uniform during the period. ''Valkyrie'' Tom Cruises Col.Claus von Stauffenberg for instance,was not a Nazi. He never joined the party,typical of the largely apolitical Werhmacht,despite their having hands in atrocities convened by Nazi party members in the SS,SD,or ABWEHR[security services]. Such instances would become a fulcrum of the bomb plot against Hitler that was eventually organized among resistance cadres including Stauffenberg that were a portion of the German army.
The avowal of ignorance by the German people of what was occurring literally under their noses[as the stench eminating from the death camps was completely unavoidable], intrigued US Army officer [and Jew] Theodore Geisel [''Dr Seuss''] then working in Europe on a postwar [late-1945] army propaganda film ''Your Job In Germany''. How could denial so pervade an entire national consciousness? At what point does the human mind not merely recoil from horror but seek to erase it? Hollywood can find answers among those Jews who served as ''Capos'',and other positions within the camps that forced these to turn upon their own people and from studying the period German in direct proximity of the death camps [indeed,creating the basis for storyline from interviews of the children of camp commanders and guards within the camps themselves].

Judging by reader comments it looks like America has finally awaken from its slumber. Now it is time to wrest ourselves free from this bad dream and from those that wish to control our lives and thinking. The concept of a $Holocaust$ was a tool and they had gotten pretty much what they wanted - but that is not enough. They don't even know what they want, but the want more nevertheless. Yes, people died in Nazi camps - principally from malnutrition, disease, and old age. Yes, some were executed - all 6m, 10m, 12m? Waiting for hard proof - a plot of land that contains bodies equivalent to NYC!! That's quite a big piece of property(ies) that no one had dug-up. Don't give me stories of "survivors" who've been through "gas chambers" 5 or 6 times or "witnesses" poetically waxing on seeing relatives sent to such chambers. Common sense stuff folks. We should move on and tackle current issues such as Palestinian internment or genocide.

Maybe Hollywood can make a movie about the Jewish Southern slave owners back in America's heyday .
I am sure that would be a hit !!!

Maybe they can make a movie about all the Jewish Southern slave owners. That would make an awesome movie !!!

It was the Israelites that introduced to the world, and codified in their religion, everything CRIMINAL that they condemn in the Nazis
The Nazis called themselves "superior" people. The CHOSEN People of GOD do not like the competition.
The Nazis stole property from their victims.

After what happened in Iraq and is still happening in Iraq. It has become self-evident that people's sociopathic blind side is well and still functioning all over the world.
We need to recognize sociopathic behavior and prevent it from causing death and destruction. We must condemn sociopathic behavior no matter who is to blame. We have to promote good will and cooperation to sustain life and not buy into hyped fears that undermine civilized behavior. Killing each other is not civilized behavior. It is also counter-productive. Life is too important to waste on deviant behavior.

If you weren't there, you don't really know and if you were there, well, you still probably don't know the truth. Just as we don't know what our government is doing, other than what they choose to tell us. Only those " in the know", a very small amount of the population, are privy to what was and still is going on. The rest of us can just guess. I and some of my family members, were there and we still can only speculate on what went on behind the scenes. Of course, we have our own personal stories, but survival was all we were doing, on a daily basis. Probably no different than the Iraqi people. Hollywood just tells a story; take it or leave it! Either way, if you haven't experienced war, you are clueless. It's not the leaders but the people who suffer.

Most of the bigwigs in Hollywood are Jews, so it is rather self serving of them to depict themselves as blame free for the atrocities committed by the Nazis.

When are they going to show Herschel Grynspan killing the German ambassador to Paris which led to Kristallnacht or the Jews declaring economic war on Germany that led to the Jews being imprisoned and when are we going to have a serious talk about the Versailles Treaty, which was a Jewish invention to acquire the wealth and control of the German state?

Never--because the real truth is something Hollywood never wants you to know. So they give us the crap they produce to make it the truth you think you know.

They are no better than the Nazis who tried to change history.
