Holocaust: Old Wounds
And A New Healing Process

Combatting Revisionism

D

RABBI CHARLES ROSENZVEIG

wring the last several years, a two-
prong attempt to rewrite the
history and uniqueness of the
Holocaust has emerged. The Institute for
Historic Review and the Revisionary Press
— the latter appears to be a front for the
former — have produced a number of
publications denying the authenticity of
the Holocaust. While these attempts are
nauseating they are mere nuisances. The
trials of the revisionist in "Mel Mermels-
tein vs. the Institute for Historical Review
in California"; Ernst Zundel in Toronto,
Canada; and James Keegstra in Alberta,
Canada, proved that the multi-faceted,
voluminous, incontrovertible evidence con-
tained in Nazi Germany's own audio-visual
recordings, Allied filming upon entering
the concentration camps after the war,
historical writings, Nazi trials, testimonies
and documentations dealing with the
Holocaust, are not subject to be affected by
revisionary attempts.

Far more serious are the efforts to
universalize, trivialize, and rationalize the
Holocaust. A galling manifestation of the
rationalization and trivialization attempts
was illustrated by the various comments
of Ukrainians during the recent Allan

oles, Jews, and Ukrainians
share a long and, unfortunately,
often tragic history. The Poles,
except for a brief period between World
Wars I and II, have lived in a land that
was dominated for the most part by
. either a despotic czarist regime or by an
equally repressive Soviet government
and its rigidly controlled Polish Com-
munist Party. The Ukrainians have
longed for an autonomous Ukraine for
centuries, and were subjected to a delib-
erately enforced famine in the thirties,
dictated by Stalin, that resulted in star-
vation and death for millions. Jews lived
in both lands for centuries and were sub-
jected to the same anti-Semitism that
could be found in most European . na-
tions. .
Then came Hitler. And anti-.
Semitism and Slavaphobia took on a
new dimension. Mass death and annihi-
lation became the norm, propelled by a
ferocity and efficiency made possible
through the process of industrialization
that the world had come to know in the
first half of the Twentieth Century.
European Jewry was savagely obliter-
ated. But it must be remembered that
this same savagery resulted in the
