You need to read a wider variety of articles, and gain an understanding of irony used to make a point. I sometimes despair when I get these comments. (The ones I get in private mail often reveal incurable cluelessness, even if the correspondents are just high school students who somehow found the CP list.)
To make it clear to those readers out there who take all posts as literal (and who didn't read my note at the bottom!), I was not doubting that Jews were exterminated.
I went to high school in the U.S. (a very unpleasant experience), and we were more-or-less taught that: a) Only Jews were killed in the Nazi death camps; (actually, Nazis targeted many other groups for extermination, and about half the people put to death in the camps weren't Jews.) b) Nazis made soap/lampshades/mattresses from the fat/skin/hair of their victims on industrial scale; c) Nazis primary goal in conquering the world was to round up and kill all the Jews; d) The U.S. entered the war and defeated Germany almost single-handedly in order to save the Jews. I can very well imagine how a typical American taught to believe the above can come across a "revisionist" material like _While 6 Million Died_ by Arthur D. Morse; or hear about Russia's role in defeating the Nazis; and begin to doubt whether any Jews were murdered at all. That's not good. I guess this bears some relevance to the subject of credibility. --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
