Rosenbaum Chapter 17
Antisemitism still exists today in Germany and in other parts of the world. In the past and still today people try to suggest the number of deaths related to the Holocaust have been greatly exaggerated and Hitler was not personally responsible for Holocaust. However, the U.S. government refused to acknowledge the mass slaughter of the Native American population as a genocide. The U.S. Senate once threatened to cut off funding to the Smithsonian for even suggesting it was a genocide. The American Press denied it also. Similarly, It is illegal to talk about the genocide of Armenians in Turkey today. Such denial is not limited to these genocides alone. To think such hateful sentiment is state sponsored is sickening.
What atrocities have been intentionally concealed by governments?
Why were they concealed and why did people tolerate these lies?
