[Note: I present this as a line of thinking that is actually often the result of suppression of views. "If They are suppressing it, maybe there's some truth to it." Note also that the views of Zundel and other Holocaust Deniers are not causally related to the deaths of millions of Jews, gypsies, and others in WW II. The damage, if any, is in the "hurt feelings" and "insults" felt by survivors and their relatives.

While survivors and their relatives are certainly the most hurt by such, I would like to mention that the insults in question also include those who allegely lied about the camps. My grandfather (Ltc. (Ret.) William H. Smith) was directly behind the front lines in his Army Intelligence work (document gathering and sorting at that point). He and his sergeant were the first Allied discoverers of one of the camps- I believe Dachau. Moreover, he was in charge of the Paris Documents Center at one point. I don't like his being called a liar. Despite that, I still regard Holocaust Revisionists as having free speech rights. It's just if they try to recreate Krystallnacht (sp?) that I want them dead. -Allen
