Texas school official says classrooms with books on Holocaust must offer ‘opposing’ views A Texas school district official told educators if they kept books about the Holocaust in their classrooms, they would have to also offer “opposing” viewpoints in order to comply with a new state law. In an audio clip obtained by NBC News, Gina Peddy, the executive director of curriculum and instruction for Carroll independent school district in Southlake, offered the guidance to teachers during a training on which books teachers can keep in classroom libraries.
A view opposing the Holocaust supposes that one sides with the Nazis. The school has failed Godwin's law in the most inane way possible. They invoked it upon themselves. How old is the Texas school official anyway? 25? 30? Fucking moron. Someone all safe and sound in their little blanket of security.
There's some gray areas of legitimate debate about some aspects, like the roles of some of the Ukrainian, Baltic and Balkan partisans that fought against the USSR (like Stepan Bandera) as well as some ongoing debate about what happened at individual sites and exactly how it happened.
I'm pretty sure Spielberg didn't pull scenes like what you see in that movie out of his arse. He is known to be a stickler for detail, and most likely based those scenes on his research and interviews with holocaust survivors.
I never implied he did. Schindler was a real historical figure. On the other hand, there are still excavations planned for Jedwabne (Jan Gross's book Neighbors), and some uncertainty about what really happened there, among other places.
Since you don't seem to know, Schindler's List is complete fiction. I won't even ask what other fiction you take for reality.
There's massive gray areas and some outright lies that are sold as historical events. Most still don't know that vast majority of prisoners in prison camps died of disease (in Dachau hundreds died daily), not by gas chambers or tank engines or other fancy methods. These camps even had medical wards that were full of people when Americans arrived. If they wanted to kill the prisoners, why help them? It makes zero sense, yet the world buys fully into it. Maybe in a few centuries the actual events will be dissected, until then propaganda will rule. "So why couldn’t the Germans have done what the Americans did? Just spray all the prisoners with DDT to kill the lice, and burn all the clothes that were filled with lice. Was there no DDT available in Germany? Why didn’t America send a couple of tons of DDT over to them? Instead, the Germans used Zyklon-B in Gaskammeren (gas chambers) at Dachau to kill lice in the prisoners’ clothing. The American liberators announced to the world, the day after Dachau was liberated, that the Germans were killing people in gas chambers, and that the Germans had cruelly ordered the prisoners to take off their clothes and hang them on hangars before going into the gas chamber. What about typhus vaccine? The American soldiers had been vaccinated before being sent overseas. Why couldn’t America have sent some vaccine to Germany through the Red Cross?" To this day people believe gas chambers were used to kill people. The bigger the lie, the easier it is to sell it seems.
You are pushing nonsense. You are aware that the Nazi's carefully documented the number of people at each camp they killed in gas chambers each day. The war criminals were indicted by their own written documentation they created.
