Holocaust Deniers Gather in Iran

My mother once said that the only good thing about the Nazis was how neatly they kept up with the paperwork regarding their atrocities and that only Germans could be that anal or for that matter stupid about formalities.

Anyway, I seriously doubt that even in Germany, a historian will get into trouble for discussing details about the Holocaust, if it is clear that his one and only agenda is the pursuit of historical fact. The major aspects are just not up for discussion because as BigHairyFeet already stated, the evidence is there and it is numerous. Nobody is going to get excited about the question whether there were 2000 or 2500 bodies in mass grave #469 as it does not change the bigger picture.

Most people gathering in Iran for that congress and the people who are arrested for their publications regarding the Holocaust on the other hand want to change that bigger picture, not for the sake of historical fact but with an ideological or political agenda. So if this grave disregard of human dignity constitutes a serious crime in several countries, what is wrong with that? Having more broader laws to cover the denial of likewise undisputed atrocities would be the fairer approach, of course, but I certainly do not feel my freedom of speech to be impaired by the laws which exist.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok, since we're going back to page one, do I have to quote my own entry as well? (As it was written in reply to that notion, among other things.)
