Richard
Rampton to address British scholars
I AM a 16 year old student at St Paul’s School,
London, and am aware that Mr. Richard Rampton, QC, is soon going to perform a speech about “the historical facts of the
Holocaust”, and, more specifically, your denial of it in the current Libel case.
I await this speech with much interest. I am currently learning about the Third Reich, and moreover take time outside of lessons to research the topic. I find it astounding that anyone could merely suggest that the
Holocaust did not happen.
Rising above the obvious magnitude of the topic, and the propaganda that therefore goes with it from all angles, the historical evidence is so overwhelming that I am truly amazed by your “beliefs”. I am Jewish. However, even if my religious inclinations lay elsewhere, I do not believe I could ignore the quite blatant fact that you are a deep-rooted anti-Semitist.
Your website itself is written in such an overly-formal, spiteful manner, that it seems your attempts to hide your anti-Semitism are weak.
Your labelling of Ms
Lipstadt as a “dragon-slayer” would suggest you bear a bitter grudge towards someone who has exposed your
“historical truths” as intrinsically prejudiced propaganda.
It is indeed ironic that one of your main arguments against the Holocaust is that British propaganda was so powerful at the time of the Second World War, and yet the biased opinion that you put forward is, by virtue of your evidently widespread number of supporters, the most powerful propaganda of its kind.
I would be grateful if you would write back in some form.
