The David Cole Documentary

Reprehensor makes a reference to a video we have posted here on more than one occasion. It is an excellent documentary about Auschwitz by Jewish historian David Cole. You may agree or disagree with the conclusions Cole draws from his visit to the concentration camp and the interviews he conducted there; there is no consensus among users here.

What Reprehensor did not mention is that Cole's recantation followed death threats from the JDL, such as the following

Just as we must get rid of this monster, Cole, we must also get rid of the word "revisionism" from our vocabulary. This awful word and Cole, too, must be eliminated altogether. There is no argument. There needs to be no more debates, only the elimination of the Holocaust deniers...

The opinions of the users here with regard to the official Holocaust narrative vary, but our points of unity are that truth does not need to hide behind strictures and prohibitions AND that any re-interpretation of the events of World War Two that seeks to downplay or deny the tremendous collective suffering of millions or the particular suffering of a single individual, at the hands of the Nazis or the Allied Forces, is unconscionable.
