Rather than Holocaust denial, this is just straight up apologia for Nazi genocide.
And in addition to tacitly endorsing the murder of German Jews, this also says the murder of Sinti and Roma, homosexuals, the disabled, socialists, communists and the sterilization of the Afrodeutsch within Germany's borders was just fine.
Periodically I despair that these malicious idiots have more funding to spread this crap than most professional historians.

Final class teaching global history of human rights since 1750 with reading from @davidrieff foreignpolicy.com/2018/04/09/the…
@davidrieff I posted the whole course syllabus with commentary to my blog back at the start of the semester historyned.blog/2018/12/10/glo…
Interesting feedback from students on human rights history course: they would have wanted more readings on perspectives from Africa, Asia and from Islamic thinkers, as well as work about indigenous activism, and more specifically about Apartheid.

Fresh flowers at the monument to Dr. Theodor Neubauer at the University of Erfurt. Neubauer was murdered by the Nazis 74 years ago yesterday.
The University of Erfurt is on site of the GDR era Pädagogische Hochschule „Dr. Theodor Neubauer“ Erfurt/Mühlhausen which was named after the Communist Party member from 1969 onwards. Neubauer was repeatedly arrested by the Nazis and executed in 1945.
Theodor Neubauer was held up as a hero of the anti-fascist resistance in East Germany - along with the Hochschule in Erfurt, numerous streets across the GDR were renamed after him.

Chris Gueffroy is often referred to as the last victim of the Berlin Wall, but he was actually the last person shot to death while crossing. Why does this distinction matter...dw.com/en/remembering…
The number of victims of the Berlin Wall varies between 80 and 140 depending on how you understand what the Wall was and how it led to death. At the low end of the count is the definition based on those deliberately killed while trying to cross the border
An alternative reading of the Berlin Wall is to count all of those who died due to the existence of the Wall as a militarized border: this includes those killed who were not trying to cross the border, those who died as the result of accidents caused by the Wall's existence

Holocaust denial in the Labour Party? John Pocock, who says he's a @UKLabour member in Rossendale & Darwen, reckons that the only #antisemitism in the party comes from its Jewish members. /1
He wrote that in response to one of those 'show me the evidence' posts, so popular last summer, where Labour members express their puzzlement or cynicism about the motives of those raising concerns about antisemitism in the party. /2
Most comments followed the usual pattern of bewilderment, denialism and conspiracy theories - orchestrated claptrap, criticising Israel isn't antisemitic, etc. John Pocock's contribution seemed to go further but still earned seven 'likes', including from the original poster. /3

You might know that today is the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht, when vast state-endorsed terror against German and Austrian Jews was unleashed. I want to mention a few facts about the events of Kristallnacht that aren't very well remembered by the general public.
First, a couple already-known facts bear repeating. Mobs, encouraged by Nazi officials, played a horrific role in violence against their fellow citizens.
In addition, despite five years of prior harassment, arrests, and punitive laws under Nazi rule, Kristallnacht was a watershed moment in the brutalization of German Jews.

If you vote for "Republicans" you are voting for a totalitarian America. You are voting for the trump family, business and wealthy politicians to get wealthier at your expense. You are voting away your own rights.

They will always need an enemy to supposedly be "protecting" you from. When they run out of outsiders to go after they will begin to turn on your own citizens, as they are already doing to blacks and democrats, eventually you or someone you love will be the target.
2/
In an atmosphere where all it takes is someone to report you for suspicious activity to make you a target, neighbors begin to turn on neighbors and family on family when there are disagreements. It becomes easy to "get revenge" by turning someone in even if they did nothing.

With regards to the IHRA examples Labour are quibbling, isn't it ironic that the reality is:

- Jeremy Corbyn and his cult are more loyal to "Palestine" than to the UK
- "Palestine" is a truly racist endeavour
- "Palestinians'" behaviour towards Jews is comparable to the Nazis
Gaza University Professor: "Jews are human garbage, behind every conspiracy" #Nazi

Palestinian Authority TV endorses Holocaust denial: #Nazi

I was bureau chief for the BBC in Baghdad between 2004-09, & I want to say something to the people knocking the BBC; but as an "unashamed" #Remainer, I want to say some things to the #BBC too (Thread 1/
I left the BBC in 2014 after a 25 year career. It was the only UK news organisation to maintain a presence in #Iraq for the entire period of Britain's involvement. I'm not citing myself as an outstanding exemplar of #BBC journalism... 2/12
But to give you an idea of the lengths we would go to, in 2006 when the Askari Shrine in Samara was blown up, & the de facto civil war began in earnest, we were lied to by the authorities about the numbers of dead... 3/12

Two serving Jewish Labour councillors have spoken out for the first time to expose the “extraordinary” levels of “institutional anti-semitism” in Momentum’s Haringey heartland in north London - thread 👇

thetimes.co.uk/article/jewish…
Joe Goldberg and Natan Doron said they had been repeatedly abused to their faces by pro-#Corbyn #Labour members — including fellow councillors — with crude allusions to their race or insulting references to the #Holocaust 👇
Goldberg the council’s cabinet member for economic development was accused by #Labour councillor of “bagel-barrel politics”

Same councillor said academy schools comparable to “Kristallnacht”, the Nazi pogrom in which 1,400 synagogues were attacked & dozens of Jews murdered 👇
