"Senator Arlen Specter (R-Penn) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif) presented multi-millionaire director Steven Spielberg with a $1 million federal grant to work on a massive holocaust documentation project, The Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation.
Spielberg said the government funding will allow him to approach Germany, Austria and other governments for additional grants to create "a living history of the holocaust" through interviews with more than 50,000 survivors.
Specter, upon presenting the oversized check to the super-rich movie director, said: "This puts the imprimatur of the U.S. government (behind the project), but it is also to vouch for the authenticity and to validate that the Holocaust really happened."
He said too many people discount it as a hoax." (Spotlight, "The Shoah must go on", August 12, 1996, page 2)
Repeat after me, class: "Too many people discount it as a hoax."
And not just here. World-wide! Take, for example, Russia. Their noses are
attuned to Holoschlock. A recent visitor to Russia wrote this: "I never
met a Russian who believed a word of it."
Japan, according to the "Daily Yomiuri", is fighting Holoschlock.
According to an August 4 1996 article, entitled: "Auschwitz exhibit
canceled,"
". . . the city of Nagai in Yamagata Prefecture has canceled plans to hold an Auschwitz exhibition this summer due to objections from a private group from its German sister city, city officials said Saturday."
This is not typical of Germany, however. In Germany there's so much Holoschlock
that people do not even notice any more. For instance, about 100 demonstrators
protested outside a shareholders' meeting of the German company I.G. Farben
on August 21, 1996, all suffering from Holoschlock:
"The demonstrators said they were protesting because I.G. Farben used
slave laborers during the Second World War. Shareholders entering the meeting
were greeted by abuses from the protesters.
Kurt Goldstein, head of an international committee representing "victims"
said "We want the surviving I.G. Farben slave laborers to be paid reparations
from the company's capital. This firm is connected like no other with the
criminal Nazi regime."
Critics of I.G. Farben want the company to be liquidated and have $20 million
paid to "former slave laborers."
What does it all mean? Here's what it means, as summarized by Bradley Smith
of CODOH in one of his communiques:
"Unfortunately for organized Jewry, familiarity not only breeds contempt, but meaninglessness as well; and that shopworn "anti-Semite" name tag, because of its promiscuous use by those seeking to fix the parameters of debate on the Holocaust and a score of other Zionist or Jewish-related issues, has by now reached a saturation point where the very term has ceased to have any real, definitive meaning; having instead been turned into a kind of smear-artist's paintbrush, which organized Jewry--or any other political operatives, for that matter--can use to tar its critics and opponents in order to discredit them as bigots and hate-mongers."
That is a mouthful of a sentence and reminds me of my German syntax I
have a hard time shedding - but what it says is this:
It doesn't work! No longer does it work! Folks are fed up with Holoschlock!
It is a harebrained effort to have two Jewish senators bamboozle yet another
million bucks out of an angry, polarized America. It's self-defeating to
force Japan, a one-time German ally, to genuflect before that one-time ally.
And it is sheer insanity to think that Holoschlock will not be smelled as
Holoschlock eventually by demonstrations demanding noisily for all to see
that money change pockets - or else.
