Is Eastern European “Double Genocide” Revisionism Reaching Museums?

Posted on 18 November 2016 by Defending History

HISTORY | DOUBLE GENOCIDE | MUSEUMS | COLLABORATORS GLORIFIED

◊

by Dovid Katz

This paper appeared today in Dapim: Studies on the Holocaust, published by Taylor and Francis.

ABSTRACT: In contrast to twentieth-century Holocaust Denial, the most recent assault on the narrative of the genocide of European Jewry has emanated from a sophisticated revisionist model known as Double Genocide, codified in the 2008 Prague Declaration. Positing “equality” of Nazi and Soviet crimes, the paradigm’s corollaries sometimes include attempts to rehabilitate perpetrators and discredit survivors. Emanating from pro-Western governments and elites in Eastern Europe in countries with records of high collaboration, the movement has reached out widely to the Holocaust Studies establishment as well as Jewish institutions. It occasionally enjoys the political support of major Western countries in the context of East-West politics, or in the case of Israel, attempts to garner (eastern) European Union support. The empirical effects to date have included demonstrable impact on museums, memorials and exhibits in Eastern Europe and beyond.

◊

The demise of twentieth-century-style Holocaust denial in mainstream Western society is aptly symbolized by David Irving’s loss to Deborah Lipstadt in the London High Court in 2000. But around the same time, a new and more irksome method of writing the Holocaust out of history was emerging under the radar, this time without necessarily denying any of the historical events or a single death. Particularly in Eastern Europe, it was being forged with state funding and more subtle powers of persuasion in academia, the media, the arts and international diplomacy.

Another Holocaust-Obfuscating PR Bash at “Vilnius Jewish Public Library”

Posted on 1 April 2016 by Defending History

VILNIUS JEWISH PUBLIC LIBRARY | DOUBLE GAMES | RED-BROWN COMMISSION

◊

VILNIUS—Yet again, the “Vilnius Jewish Public Library,” housed in exquisite city-center premises in a courtyard off the capital’s central Gedimino Boulevard, has been the base for a Holocaust-obfuscating event featuring stars of the state’s “Red-Brown Commission” who are dispatched far and wide to deny the existence of the state-sponsored “Double Genocide” campaign, to mitigate the campaign against Holocaust survivors, the efforts to glorify local collaborators, and to obscure entirely the Second Opinion expressed in the Seventy Years Declaration. Incredibly, the roster of invited speakers did not include Ms. Rūta Vanagaitė, author of Mūsiškiai, the new best-selling book on the Holocaust that has in effect revolutionized the country’s coming to terms with its Holocaust-era past. What is the “Jewish” Library afraid of?

No Cover-Up at Auschwitz!

Posted on 23 January 2015 by Defending History

O P I N I O N

by Dovid Katz

◊

The following text is the original draft, submitted on 20 January 2015 at the invitation of the London Jewish Chronicle. An edited version (processed with all courtesies to the author) appeared in the JC on 22 January. This version is posted here simply to emphasize the author’s belief that ceremonies at Auschwitz that do not address the current massive campaign by eastern EU states to downgrade and obfuscate the Holocaust are unwittingly part of a cover-up of the very unique historical phenomena they are meant to accurately preservce and pass on. The related issue of whether Russia’s leaders will be invited to the ceremonies has been analyzed in recent pieces by Efraim Zuroff and Pinchos Fridberg.

No Cover-Up at Auschwitz!

The heralded 70^th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz approaches, amidst a grand oblivion to what is happening before our very eyes to the actual history of the Holocaust. If we fail to speak out about the irksome issues too, the pomp and circumstance ipso facto morph into an unsavoury cover-up.

Dan Stone’s “Goodbye to All That?” Has Discussion on Battle of the Declarations

Posted on 3 May 2014 by Defending History

Dan Stone’s new book, Goodbye to All That? A History of Europe Since 1945 (Oxford University Press, March 2014) has some discussion on the “Battle of the Declarations” in Europe: the Prague Declaration (“PD” of 2008) and the Seventy Years Declaration (“SYD” of 2012).

Each of the declarations has its own website: the PD at praguedeclaration.eu; SYD at: seventyyearsdeclaration.org. The SYD was produced as an initiative of Defending History, which has its (openly partisan) section on the Seventy Years Declaration, its text in European languages, and a page of critiques of the Prague Declaration. The SYD’s launch was greeted by the then Lithuanian foreign minister’s “moustache comparison” and his attack on the eight Lithuanian parliamentarians who had signed it. The 2012 documentary film Rewriting History focuses on the origins of the Seventy Years Declaration.

The following is a brief excerpt from Dan Stone’s Goodbye to All That? from page 281:

Hungary Rewrites History

O P I N I O N

by Danny Ben-Moshe

This comment, republished here with the author’s permission, first appeared in the Jerusalem Post on 22 February 2014.

My 2012 documentary film Rewriting History tracked the emergence of “Double Genocide” and the rewriting of the history of the Holocaust in Lithuania.

The film warned that what was occurring in Lithuania was a harbinger of something that could become more widespread and ultimately mainstream in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately recent events in Hungary bear this out.

World Union for Progressive Judaism “Fully Endorses” the Seventy Years Declaration (SYD)

Posted on 19 December 2013 by Defending History

LONDON—The World Union for Progressive Judaism released the following statement today, endorsing the Seventy Years Declaration (SYD). It also appears on the WUPJ website.

The news release, which was also circulated widely via the WUPJ’s emailed news reports, follows by half a year the SYD’s endorsement by Britain’s major Orthodox union, The United Synagogue, in the summer of 2013. [SYD text in European languages]

O P I N I O N

by Geoff Vasil

This opinion piece and eyewitness report by Geoff Vasil relates to the July 10th event in honor of the Red-Brown Commission held at the Vilnius Jewish Public Library. See related reports on the library’s instrumentalization as a PR platform for the Commission and the more or less contemporaneous announcement of the Commission’s resumed activities, in the absence of apologies to Yitzhak Arad, Pinchos Fridberg, and the other accused Holocaust survivors.

Attendees at the July 10, 2013 event to honor the “International Commission for the Evaluation of the Crimes of the Nazi and Soviet Occupational Regimes in Lithuania” were treated to speeches and plentiful Katz-bashing by (from right) Ronaldas Račinskas, Saulius Sužiedėlis and Ilya Lempertas.

Lithuanian Foreign Ministry Planning to (Ab)use EU Presidency to Push Red-Brown Politics

Posted on 17 July 2012 by Defending History

In spite of the repeated visible damage to Lithuania’s standing emanating from previous attempts, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has now announced that red-brown politics in the service of Double Genocide would be one of the goals of its upcoming stint in the rotating presidency of the European Union.

There was diplomatic blood on the floor following the foreign ministry’s failed attempt to insinuate Double Genocide into the Stockholm Program in 2010 (reports here, here, and here).

The Seventy Years Declaration (Lithuanian text)

Posted on 19 March 2012 by Defending History

2012 m. sausio 20 d.

Septyniasdešimtmečio deklaracija

Skirta Galutinio žydų klausimo sprendimo priėmimo Vanzė (Wannsee) konferencijoje septyniasdešimtosioms metinėms paminėti

Šiandien minint 70-ąsias oficialaus nacių vadovybės Galutinio žydų klausimo sprendimo priėmimo metines mes, žemiau pasirašiusieji,

Prisimename:

Nuolankiai ir su liūdesiu Galutinio žydų klausimo sprendimo planą, kuris formaliai įtvirtino ir industrializavo tuomet jau vykdytą žydų Holokaustą Europoje

Nacių ir jų talkininkų vykdomos visuotinio Europos žydų genocido kampanijos siaubą ir brutalumą

Kad masinis žydų naikinimas Europoje prasidėjo prieš pusę metų iki Galutinio žydų klausimo sprendimo plano priėmimo, per Operaciją „Barbarossa“ rytų fronte 1941 metais ir naciams užpuolus Sovietų sąjungą

Kad milijonai ne žydų tautybės žmonių nukentėjo nuo nacių valdžios ir nuo kitų tironijos formų Europoje antrojo pasaulinio karo metu;

Pripažįstame:

Kad nacių vykdyta žydų tautos naikinimo kampanija filosofine prasme, kokybiškai ir praktiškai iš esmės skiriasi nuo kitų represijos formų, tokių kaip stalinizmo siaubas, kurį žmonės Europoje patyrė antrojo pasaulinio karo metu, taip pat prieš ir po karo,

Nerimaujantys, kad Holokausto pamoka dar neišmokta, o tarptautinėje arenoje atsiranda vietos genocidui

Kilnumą žydų partizanų, išgyvenusių getus ir mirties stovyklas ir kovojusių su naciais bei jų sąjungininkais,

Europos valstybių pastangas atvirai pripažinti savo vaidmenį Holokausto istorijoje

Kad diskusija dėl genocido Europoje privalo vykti naudojant terminus, apibrėžtus 1948 m. Jungtinių Tautų konvencijoje dėl kelio užkirtimo genocido nusikaltimui ir baudimo už jį

Kad įvairios antisemitizmo formos tebėra paplitusios Europoje ir už jos ribų

Atmetame:

Pastangas suklaidinti žmones, paneigti Holokausto unikalumą ir prilyginti ar sutapatinti jį su komunizmu, kaip siūloma 2008 metų Prahos deklaracijoje

Nacių ir sovietų nusikaltimų sulyginimą, nes tai menkina jų unikalumą ir nuvertina svarbiausias istorijos pamokas, kurių reikia išmokti iš šių skirtingų patyrimų

Pastangas perrašyti mokyklinius istorijos vadovėlius Europos šalyse įtraukiant į juos „dvigubo genocido“ sąvoką (prilyginti ar sutapatinti nacių ir sovietų nusikaltimus)

Kaip nepriimtiną nacių sąjungininkų, taip pat Holokausto vykdytojų ir jų talkininkų, taip pat Waffen SS dalinių Estijoje ir Latvijoje, bei Lietuvos Aktyvistų Fronto narių Lietuvoje šlovinimą

Bandymus įteisinti ar pateisinti rasistinių ir fašistinių grupuočių viešą svastikos demonstravimą

Pastangas tą pačią dieną pagerbti Holokausto ir komunizmo aukų atminimą

Siūlome:

Skirtingomis dienomis pagerbti Holokausto aukų ir kitų XX-jo amžiaus totalitarinių režimų aukų atminimą, organizuoti aukų minėjimus pagal skirtingas programas

ES šalims narėms nenuleisti rankų siekiant pripažinti savo vaidmenį naikinant žydus Europoje

Ir toliau ypatingą dėmesį skirti Holokausto švietimui ir aukų atminimo įamžinimui visoje Europos Sąjungoje

Priešintis visoms šiuolaikinėms rasizmo ir diskriminacijos formoms ir apraiškoms, įskaitant antisemitizmą, neapykantą musulmonams, neapykantą romams, homofobiją, kitus prietarus ir netolerancijos formas, kurias skatina ekstremistinės politinės grupuotės.
