Holocaust deniers are not entitled to their say
• I COULD not agree less with John Gulliver’s article on Rex Bloomstein that Holocaust deniers should be allowed to have their say (February 5).
The Holocaust is not about an opinion it is about the murder of millions of human beings.
Huge effort to detail the criminal acts of the Nazis were made by our forefathers. Countless pages of testimony were made by witnesses including admissions at the Nuremberg trials of mass gassings by SS guards themselves.
The issue is, as a society are we to respect those who fought the war and prosecuted their crimes?
Are we to respect and believe those who testified as to what actually happened? Or do we choose to accept the opinions of those who were never there, never witnessed anything and only stand to gain financially and with publicity from mouthing controversy?
If we cannot accept evidence so scrupulously accumulated in such an issue which caused the deaths of millions then we risk it happening once again .
The book must be closed.
We are entitled to debate but not to question if it is true.
