Censorship and the “Holocaust”
March 10, 2017
AMAZON HAS has banned books about World War II that question scientific and statistical details of the reported gas chambers and the “Holocaust.” The Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum was among the organizations that pressured Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to remove the books. The company is, of course, perfectly free to determine which books it wants to sell. But given the retailer’s reach this is a significant form of censorship.
This censorship is a discredit to Jews who died or otherwise suffered in concentration camps during World War II, whose memory can never be honored by any association with book-banning or intellectual bullying. It is a discredit to Amazon, which has published books in favor of Satanism and a long list of moral crimes. It is a discredit to Jewish leaders who ironically have compounded the impression that they have something to hide and who by advocating this step persecute marginalized historians who have little or nothing to gain personally. It is a discredit to Jews who believe in open debate. Among the books that have suddenly disappeared from the online retailer is Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil by author Gerard Menuhin, Stanford-educated son of the late Jewish violinist Yehudi Menuhin.
Some books that question the events of the “Holocaust” are apparently still available on Amazon, at least for now, probably because they are not books exclusively on that subject. They include the excellent book on Jewish power in America, Synagogue Rising by the Catholic author Hugh Akins, a Vietnam veteran who calls the Holocaust debate “the supreme controversy of modern times.” He writes on p. 490:
Let us leave no room for misinterpretation in declaring our position. We stated our conviction earlier; let us state it again: Are we actually claiming that “the Holocaust” never happened? Well, that depends on your definition of the term. If by the Holocaust is denoted the terrible and tragic suffering and loss of Jewish life and possessions and the breakup and displacement of Jewish families by the thousands during the reign of Adolf Hitler, then no, we are not repudiating these facts; and yes, we are certainly acknowledging that this Holocaust actually took place; and what a heinous crime and screaming outrage against humanity — and more so against the God of humanity!
If, on the other hand, the Holocaust signifies six million Jews exterminated by a deliberate Nazi policy of ethnic/racial/religious “cleansing” (homicidal purging of Jews as Jews) — and most of these victims said to have been poisoned in gas chambers, well then, no, absolutely not, in all truthfulness we cannot accept this preposterous notion, even though it is the “official” account universally held as sacred and inviolable …

Akins’ book, which I highly recommend, includes a good overview of the debate.

The Amazon owned Book Depository located in the UK sells Menuhin’s book and will ship for free to the US.
