This cite speaks of and shows the two sides of The Holocaust. Differing from the dead Jews, and historical evidence, to the small group who refuse that it had happened and provide their side. The traditionalists believe that the Holocaust occurred, but the revisionists present counter-evidence against the claim. The Iranian President called a Holocaust conference in 2006 to research its scientific and technical backing, and more people now than ever think that the traditional story is false. It says that the traditional view is held mainly by Jews who suffered and who wrote about it with a self-interest. While the revisionists are mainly Germans or anti-Jews, so neither side is unbiased. This leaves the public with no un-slanted view of the story in which to infer truth from. The author finds it important to have an unbiased view on history, and to find out the truth, for it is a part of our history and we cannot repeat it, so we must know the truth of the matter. And school children across the nation learn about the Holocaust and read books like The Diary of Anne Frank or watch movies like Schindler's List, and are so tainted with the traditional view, without knowing either side to be true or false, and just assuming that the revisionist's opinion is incorrect, or not even knowing there is a group denying such claims as the Holocaust. This disaster is being used for money, by writing books and creating movies, and it is also causing strife in the Middle East; Israel, in which we donate billions of dollars to, is made up of Jews, and if we are to have a conflict with Iran it can easily stem from our view as a nation of the Holocaust. There is also the thought that if we can be misled by something as large as the Holocaust, what else could have misled us? Wars, deaths, anything.
