Are "Revisionists" Holocaust deniers?
Part 3 of 3
Mr. Raven, arguably the most blatant self-contradictor, has been
presented with this logic many times before, and has refused to
elaborate on his reasoning. Here are several attempts to contact him:
Greg Raven's
reply
to this last attempt was received a few days later.
You say (1) "6 million ... is an irresponsible
exaggeration," (2) "no Nazi plan," and (3) "no Nazi
gas chambers." You're being quite consistent, since you explained
your views in almost exactly the same words on your first big entrance
to the Internet, on Hitler's birthday, 1994. Mr. Raven responded:
It never fails to amaze me to learn how closely
people of your sexual preference keep track of Hitler's birthday.
I have no record of my first day on the Internet, and I couldn't
care less about Hitler's birthday. The problem, Mr. Raven, is that you also define the term
Holocaust as (1) "the murder of six million Jews," (2)
"as a central act of state by the Nazis," (3) "many in
gas chambers." Mr. Raven responded:
I do? If you were paying as much attention to what
I actually say and write on this subject as you do to Hitler's
birthday, you would have long ago discovered that this is NOT my
definition of "the Holocaust." Of course, it is his definition, as seen
above.
Mr. Raven also included a copy of his essay,
Defining
the 'Holocaust': a Proposal,
which is little more than an attempt to reverse his 1994 definition and
to insist, now, that the term should refer to all mistreatment of Jews,
by the Nazis and all other combatants, 1939-1945.
Mr. Raven presents a case that this is what the word should
mean, but in doing so, he quotes numerous sources which affirm what the
word does mean. Look at the accepted definitions he cites from
dictionaries, encyclopaedias, scholars, Jewish organizations, historical
organizations and numerous unnamed sources:
Mr. Raven's essay has made it more clear than ever that, when one
uses the term "Holocaust," the understood meaning is that of
the systematic murder of six million Jews by the Nazi state.
And, as seen above, this fact of history is something which he and
his colleagues deny.
We have attempted to convince all Holocaust deniers listed above to
cross-link to this web page from their web pages listed above. All have
ignored our requests.
