Unfortunately, the claims of revisionist historian, David Irving's claims the the Holocaust is a 'lie', or a 'hoax' is being used by extreme political groups.
In some countries, such as Germany, it is a clear criminal offence to deny the Holocaust; in the UK, we have the ambivalent laws surrounding hate speech.
The Holocaust has to be remembered as one of the worst episodes of what man can do to man in the false assertion that one race/ethnic group is superior/inferior to another.
With the recent dynamics in global politics, personally, I feel this grossly artificial claim is dangerously growing.
Just a thought....as the Holocaust event is a memorial service for Judism, out of respect, should not the men wear hats/caps and ladies have their heads covered?
