Denial. BBC Films. 109 minutes. This reviewer was expecting that it would be a tedious ordeal to sit through Denial, Hollywood’s attempted canonization of the obnoxious thought cop Deborah Lipstadt, which was supposed to also serve as the final confirmation of the libel trial in London in 2000 that saw historian David Irving’s reputation supposedly…

Look Who’s Back! Constantin Film. 116 minutes He/it is the most-delicate subject in Germany, perhaps even the world, at least since the time he was alive (1889-1945). This is more-so in Germany, the country whose government he controlled in the last 12 years of his life, than anywhere else. In Germany, many (dozens?) are in…

Spotlight. Open Road Films, 2015, 129 mins. The eternal enemy of truth—and history—is taboo. Taboo is the enveloping social process by which knowledge is contained by suppressing its expression. First among those subjected to taboo are the direct witnesses to the knowledge, and first among these are those who have suffered from it but survived…

Denial, a Holocaust Movie based on Deborah Lipstadt’s book History on Trial, is to be released this September. History on Trial is Lipstadt’s account of her vendetta with author David Irving culminating in a defamation action. The action was tried in a London court in 2000 before Judge Charles Gray. Opportunity The release is an…

In the first part, I showed that Mark Weber, in his interview with Jim Rizoli (10 February 2016), consistently tried to avoid acknowledging any findings of Holocaust Revisionism, and also tried to conceal his past acknowledgment of such findings. In this part, the focus is on Weber's attempts to justify his retreat from Holocaust Revisionism….

Anybody who has not taken a particular interest in Historical Revisionism is likely to find little to criticize in Mark Weber's statements to Jim Rizoli in this interview (see below; we apologize for the poster image; this is Rizoli's style…). Such a viewer will likely be impressed that Weber speaks well of Holocaust Revisionists and…

Scene from "Son of Saul" The week before Christmas seems an odd time to release a Holocaust movie, particularly one as macabre as Son of Saul. As one review describes it, it is a tale from “Inside the Gas Chamber of Auschwitz,” presumably Morgue 1 of Krema II and focuses on a Jewish Sonderkommando named,…

The runaway-popular series The Good Wife is in its fifth season this year. In its second episode, "The Bit Bucket," aired this past week, the heroes are suing the NSA for damaging their client, a social-networking site of which Facebook would be an example in the real world. The NSA, to discredit Chum Hum (the…

A recent issue of TV Guide (Feb. 22, 1997) featured a review of Schindler’s List by well-known movie reviewer Gene Siskel. Siskel’s article, entitled “Schindler's List: Cut, but no Commercials,” is a fine example, on a small scale, of how the mystification surrounding the Holocaust story breeds confusion and self-delusion among adepts and amateurs alike….

The Passenger, opera in two acts by Mieczyslaw Weinberg. Libretto by Alexander Medvedev. Based on the novel of the same name by Zofia Posmysz. The Passenger, promoted as “a Holocaust-themed opera,” was written in the Soviet Union by Weinberg during the 1960s but, despite enthusiastic support from Dmitri Shostakovich, had to wait until 2010 to…
