Index on Binjamin
Wilkomirski
[Honorary ASSHOL*
member]
A Deborah
Lipstadt moment:
NEVER
FORGET: "Deborah Lipstadt, author of the
anti-revisionist polemic Denying the
Holocaust, has assigned [Binjamin
Wilkormiski's book] Fragments in
her Emory University class on Holocaust memoirs.
When confronted with evidence that it is a fraud
[the author spent the war
in comfort in Switzerland, not Auschwitz, and was
not even a Jew], she commented that the
new revelations 'might complicate matters
somewhat, but [the work] is still
powerful.'" --
In other words, who cares about
fact or fiction where the Holocaust is concerned?
Prof
Deborah Lipstadt received an ecstatic
welcome when she spoke in Feb 2005 at Brandeis
University, and signed six million copies of her
latest book (equally true).

1997: See How they Gush: Holocaust Museum's "Literature"
expert wrote words
in 1997 that he now wished he hadn't (hint: Binjamin
Wilkomirski has since been exposed as a fraud).
Praise
from Deborah Lipstadt ("Denying the Holocaust") for Binjamin
Wilkomirski, the fraudster and liar:
"Deborah Lipstadt has assigned
Fragments in her Emory University class on Holocaust
memoirs. When confronted with evidence that it is a fraud,
she commented that the new revelations 'might complicate
matters somewhat, but [the work] is still powerful.'
Daniel Ganzfried reports that Jews have complained to him
that even if Fragments is a fraud, his exposé is
dangerously aiding 'those who deny the
Holocaust.'"

David Irving invented this fictitious ASSOCIATION

LIARS in a speech in Canada, to embrace people like
Wilkomirski and Wiesel and Foxman.
