Poland Asks Netflix to Make Changes to Documentary About Nazi Death Camp Guard

Convicted Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk leaves a courtroom in Munich after the verdict in his case, May 12, …

I am SO sick of Holocaust revisionism and revisionists. Hitler placed dozens of camps in Poland because he knew that the Poles were even more antisemitic than the Germans. There were pogroms in Poland AFTER the Holocaust. So the idea that the poor Poles were also unwitting victims of the Nazis is absolutely false. Poland’s history of vehement and disgusting antisemitism goes back centuries.

MENKEN: AOC Is Dividing Americans And Inciting Anti-Semitism

After Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) used “concentration camps” and “Never Again” together — a unique reference to the Nazi death camps — and then retweeted leftist Jews hoping to justify the linkage while she simultaneously denied that she ever connected them in the first instance, I honestly thought it couldn’t get worse.

Do people even comprehend why so many of us take this so seriously? Jews, especially over the past few years, have been subjected continually to a rising barrage of antisemitism, physical attacks, an anti-Israel movement that uses propaganda to increasingly mainstream the lie that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, and a never ending exploitation of OUR history to legitimize any number of political agendas. The reason why the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Yad Vashem, the Auschwitz Museum & the US Holocaust Museum stepped in is because hijacking the language of the Holocaust has been a tool of Holocaust deniers for a very long time. So whether people defending "AOC" understand this or not, there is NO valid use of Holocaust imagery absent literal genocide. That is exactly why no one had a problem applying Holocaust imagery to Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia etc., however applying that imagery to detention centers run by the United States, only serves to trivialize the absolute nightmare of genocide.

AOC knows this, so does Ilhan Omar. The fact that some Jews, unfortunately, agree with them is a sign of their own devotion to ideology or ignorance of the Holocaust, and our own history (unfortunately, neither is unusual), NOT evidence of authority on the subject. Being born Jewish, or having relatives murdered during WWII, does not automatically imbue you with an authoritative understanding of the Shoah or anything else. Legitimate criticism of the border situation deserves a serious public discussion, you can do that without appropriating the worst genocide in human history, and more importantly, without exploiting the memory of its victims.

Concentration Camps? Stop Hijacking Jewish History | The Jerusalem post

US media has now joined the debate about concentration camps.

“The agenda in the US is clear: in order to critique the current administration’s policy, a term often associated with Auschwitz and the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust has been appropriated to score a few political points. In a few months there will be a new controversy, and Jewish history will be hijacked again in a US debate to fit the narrative of whatever group needs to conjure up the Nazi era for their own benefit.

Increasingly in the US every day, the Holocaust is watered down and universalized in order to become an American event. Last year the former National Security Agency and CIA head Michael Hayden compared the US separating families at the border to Auschwitz.”

How the U.S. pressured Poland into softening its law on Holocaust speech

Trump and Polish president Duda did not meet once during the Polish leader’s five-day visit to the United States last month, while Trump did meet with the president of Uzbekistan at the White House.

“Polish honor” means Holocaust denial. Hitler put the camps in Poland because the Polish people were even more antisemitic than the Germans. They continued to murder Jews AFTER the war. This law was one thing: revisionism. Ironically, their opposition to the law rests on invoking modern versions of the same anti-Jewish gripes that the Germans used to pursue the “final solution.” It’s pathetic that not much has seemed to change among many Europeans.

“Polish nationalists, however, the original law was essential to defending the country’s honor and preventing scholars and journalists from using terms like “Polish death camps” or portraying Poles as anything but victims of the Nazis. And they knew just who to blame for softening it: Israel.“
