  HIDDEN FROM HISTORY The Canadian Holocaust by Rev. Kevin D. Annett, MA, MDiv
For it was the residential "schools" that constituted the death camps of the Canadian Holocaust, and within their walls nearly one-half of all aboriginal children sent there by law died, or disappeared, according to the government's own statistics.
That is, the Canadian government legally compelled the attendance of the most "pagan" and least assimilated of the native peoples in residential schools at precisely the time when the death rate in these schools had reached their pinnacle - about 40%, according to Indian Affairs officers like Dr Peter Bryce.
Mengele and his Canadian researchers, like the notorious Montreal psychiatrist Ewen Cameron, used prisoners, mental patients and native children from reserves and residential schools in their efforts to erase and reshape human memory and personality, using drugs, electric shocks and trauma-inducing methods identical to those employed for years in the residential schools.

  David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies: Welcome
Holocaust denial activity decreased in the United States during 2003, but continued full force in government-sponsored media in Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority.
Plantin was awarded an M.A. from the University of Lyon 2 in 1990 for a thesis supporting Holocaust denier Paul Rassinier, and in 1991 received a postgraduate diploma from University of Lyon 3 for his research on typhus epidemics in Nazi concentration camps.
(Holocaust deniers often claim that Jews who perished in Nazi camps were not murdered, but died of diseases.) In 1999, Plantin was convicted of denying crimes against humanity, given a suspended sentence of six months in prison, and barred from publishing in the future.

 Denying History by Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman
Hatred for Holocaust deniers is compounded by the helpless fear that the pseudo-historians' specious lies may spread.
Holocaust denial has been much in the news lately as proponents find their work under investigation, or the glare of courts.
Denying History, an exceptionally interesting study of both Holocaust denial and the deniers themselves, explores these conclusions in depth, and in relatively virgin territory, for the marginal men and women who invent this propaganda are often dismissed out-of-hand.

 Update on the Holocaust Heresy Trial of Ernst Zundel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Jewish Holocaust is one of the few remaining taboos of western society, on par with incest and paedophilia.
The taboo quality of the Jewish Holocaust in Western society is being enforced no differently from taboos in Polynesia: failure to comply results in social and economic ruin, incarceration, physical attack, sometimes even loss of life.
The failure of the political left to embrace Holocaust revisionism is depriving it of the potentially most powerful weapon against its political enemies.

 Holocaust Education in Canada - Definition, Data Collection and Responses
However, the inclusion of the Holocaust as a topic of study in the history curriculum is not mandatory.
The goals of Holocaust Education Programs are to provide students with an understanding of the prevalence of Nazi-driven anti-Semitism during the WWII period, develop within students, an appreciation of Jewish culture and to foster students’ commitment to anti-racism education and the development of a tolerant and diverse society.
In this report, the discussion on Holocaust education refers only to University courses where the word "Holocaust" is used in the title of the course, or in the course description as presented in the calendar or in on-line information.

 INTRODUCTION TO SPECIAL ISSUE: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON CANADA, THE HOLOCAUST AND SURVIVORS
For Canadians, the Holocaust became a Jewish issue, and for Canadian Jews, survivors were objectified as the “human skeletons” they had read about in the media.
Holocaust denial—that transformation and intensification of the classic antisemitic claim of Jewish duplicity and manipulation of non-Jews—has been all-too-well-represented in Canada by the activities of Ernst Zundel and James Keegstra, as well as others.
Canadian Jewish Studies hopes to be able to compile further thematic volumes, and thus fulfil our mandate of encouraging multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies of the Canadian Jewish experience in other topics.

 Ernst Zündel: Defending Hitler,Denying the Holocaust
Speaking for the defense were such leading Holocaust deniers as Sweden's Ditlieb Felderer, France's Robert Faurisson and Canada's James Keegstra, all of whom have been convicted in their own countries under hate crimes laws for their Holocaust-denial activities.
Other criticisms were raised during the trial: for example, the prosecutor could have asked the judge to take "judicial notice" of the fact of the Holocaust; had the judge agreed to do so, the jurors would have been instructed simply to accept the historical fact of the Holocaust.
Under Canadian law, citizenship may be denied to individuals engaged in organized crime, or to those charged with or appealing summary convictions or indictable offences.

 Internet Public Library: Pathfinders
The prevalence of Holocaust denial on the internet is forcing counter-deniers to enter the debate, challenging them to respond to denial claims, to examine the underlying ideologies of denial, and to expose methodological errors.
The new anti-gay Holocaust revisionism alleges that gay men were not particularly persecuted under the German Nazi regime, and additionally, that homosexual men were especially prevalent in the ranks of German Naziism, and were in large part, the motivators of the Jewish Holocaust.
Holocaust revisionism has continued to be discussed both in scholarly literature and in the mainstream press.

 CCL, no. 109-110 (2003)
It considers what Canadian means in Holocaust children's books and whether Canadian-authored Holocaust children's books differ in any significant way from Holocaust children's books published outside Canada.
It argues that questions about Canadian identity in Holocaust children's literature are provoked but not answered by the structural analysis provided by the list of shared characteristics of "mainstream" Canadian children's novels.
Affirming that identity is also a matter of knowledge, the essay investigates what Canadian children are expected to know about the Holocaust.

OTTAWA —Learning the lessons of the Holocaust means not ignoring threats to Israel from Iran and the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said at last week’s Canadian Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony on Parliament Hill.
The prime minister urged Canadians to be vigilant, and to learn from the past never to turn a blind eye to signs of trouble.
As their names were called by master of ceremonies Herb Gray, a former deputy prime minister and longtime MP, Holocaust survivors or their representatives were accompanied by representatives of the Canadian government as they laid wreaths at the Eternal Flame.

 Lecture series to explore the Holocaust through art
For the 23rd year, Vanderbilt is helping to ensure that the Holocaust is not forgotten by sponsoring a two-and-a-half-week lecture series that reflects upon this grim period in history.
The longest-running lecture series in the country devoted to the Holocaust at any college or university, the series began in 1977 and has attracted renowned speakers to the campus each year since to help new generations learn more about the genocide of 6 million Jews during World War II.
In images, paintings and music, they give an immediacy and a particularly human and intimate expression to those events and to their victims," said James Booth, professor of political science and one of the organizers of the lecture series.

He had been investigated by local as well as state and national enforcement agencies who stated in their various reports that he checked out to be non-violent, and it was recommended by the FBI two years before the handcuffs closed around his wrists that the investigation into his whereabouts be administratively closed.
The aim of this planned demonstration is to demand an international forum to settle, once and for all, the non-stop post-World War II Holocaust propaganda tsunami.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Native Jew Haters by David Yeagley
The article also notes that some Canadian Indian leaders (like Roseau River Anishinabe Chief Terrance Nelson) are defensive about the issue, saying Indians have fought for the rights of all minorities in Canada, yet the Jews have not done anything for the Indians.
Denigrating the Jewish Holocaust is an Indian thing these days, among leftist Indian leaders that is. One might expect Indians to have affinity with Jews, by the common plight, of being unwanted, but Ahenakew doesn’t see it.
Yet, they want the word “holocaust.” I say, “No deal.” Indians were warriors, fighting fiercely for home and family.

That is, the Canadian government legally compelled the attendance of the most "pagan" and least assimilated of the native peoples in residential schools at precisely the time when the death rate in these schools had reached their pinnacle - about 40%, according to Indian Affairs officers like Dr Peter Bryce.

David Ahenakew says aboriginal people have been the victims of a holocaust that has lasted 500 years and Canadians should be put on trial for their treatment of them.
The 71-year-old former head of the Assembly of First Nations and member of the order of Canada is charged under a section of the Criminal Code that prevents the wilful promotion of hatred.
The charges were laid after he called the Jews a "disease" and suggested the Holocaust was justified in an interview more than two years ago.

Today is a day set aside for remembrance, for taking pause from the busy world that swirls around us, to commemorate the mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, sons and daughters whose lives were stolen during humanities darkest hours.
This day is essential for those of us spared the cruelty of war, and the atrocities of the Holocaust.
It is for us to remember and honour those who were lost and those who have been forced to live with this tragedy.

 Canada prosecutes German for Holocaust revisionism
If Zündel, who is represented by the Canadian Free Speech League, is found guilty by the tribunal, "it will mean that the Human Rights Commission will have jurisdiction over the Internet", said David Jones, president of Electronic Frontier Canada.
Zündel's most valid defense is that his Zündelsite home page is not subject to Canadian law because the computers that post the material are in San Jose, Calif. In addition, the self-proclaimed "computer illiterate" maintains he has no direct say in the operation of the site and therefore is not legally responsible for its contents.
Sabina Citron - a founding member of the Canadian Holocaust Remembrance Association - became entangled with Zündel almost 15 years ago when she filed "false news" charges against him for distributing lies denying the Holocaust.

 Canadian "Holocaust" Museum
That’s the situation in Canada where the billionaire Asper media family have persuaded the Canadian government to part with at least $100 million to fund a Holocaust Memorial Museum in Winnipeg topped over with $22 million a year to keep the place open.
The new museum is actually being called the Canadian Museum for Human Rights but it was conceived as yet another Holocaust Memorial Museum only somebody was rude enough to point out that very few Jews have ever been killed by Canadians hence the change of names.
If the Aspers run this Holocaust museum like they do their media empire, undoubtedly the information presented would be tainted and a disservice to history with the taxpayer funding this agitprop and innocent children subjected to this propaganda and we then have to pay for this codswallop.

 Ernst Zundel: Holocaust Denier, Neo-Nazi Propagandist
In February 2005, capping two years of legal proceedings, Canadian Federal Court Justice Pierre Blais ruled that Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel may reasonably be described as a threat to the security of Canada; under the country's immigration laws he is therefore subject to deportation to his native Germany.
Although Rimland and Zundel told a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in 1997 that Rimland was the sole proprietor of the Zundelsite, other evidence suggests she has worked quite closely with Zundel on the site, and that he paid her a monthly fee for her efforts.
Its library of Holocaust denial materials are grouped into "courses"; a visitor who clicks on "Revisionism 101" is directed to "basic revisionist articles offered as a detoxification program to cure the politically correct of the Hollywood version of the Holocaust."

Ahenakew cited the American/Canadian Indian "holocaust" of the last 500 years as an outrage that dwarfs the Jewish Holocaust.
The defining characteristic of the Holocaust is the number who died, not the manner in which they resisted.
Again, this is irrelevant to the definition of "Holocaust." Check the dictionary if you don't believe me. See if it says anything about the victims being natives rather than immigrants or pacifists rather than warriors.

 Our Call for the Release of Ernst Zündel Petition
Ernst Zündel is a German-born, Canadian citizen who has become famous for "denying" the Zionists' favorite legend - that six million Jews were deliberately murdered in gas chambers by the Nazi Regime during World War II.
Regardless of his controversial ideological affiliations, if the 65-year-old pacifist Ernst Zündel can be packed off to prison as a "terrorist" merely for questioning a Zionist legend, every fighter against Zionism and colonialism can start expecting a knock on the door.
The Our Call for the Release of Ernst Zündel Petition to The Canadian Envoy to the United Nations was created by and written by Dr.Ibrahim Alloush, Dr.Muhammed Abu Nasr, John Paul Cupp, Ziad Shaker elJishi, and Salih Manasra (anti_imperialist_solidarity@yahoo.com).
