Denial at War
Show By Marc Shoffman - THE organisers of a military
exhibition have been criticised after a BBC
documentary found concentration camp goods on sale
and revealed that neo-Nazis and
Holocaust
denier David Irving
were at the event. The Panorama documentary, Weekend Nazis,
aired on Monday, discovered a Bergen Belsen
concentration camp trolley for sale and a stall
hosted by Irving at July's annual War and Peace
Show in Kent. The military
extravaganza includes reenactments of World War
II battles where some groups dress up as Nazi
soldiers and SS guards. Stalls at the event
offer military memorabilia such as toy tanks,
Nazi uniforms, flags, and Hitler mugs. But some were more controversial. One offered to
stamp swastikas on 50p pieces, while a Bergen
Belsen concentration camp trolley was on sale in
another for £550.  David
Irving comments: SEE
how obsessed these nice folks are with
themselves, and how they preen themselves
that the reason for Austria imprisoning me
was for Holocaust denial. Soon it will be for
paedophilia, or for accosting men in
public lavatories disguised as a US
Senator. In
fact: Austria sentenced me to three years
jail for Wiederbetätigung,
literally reactivation (of the Nazi
Party!) under a Stalin-era law passed in
1945, on account of a lecture I had
delivered sixteen years earlier on
November 6,
1989. The law is also called
the Verbotsgesetz, or Banning
Law. Grotesquely,
"democratic" and "Free Speech" Austria
still has this law on its statute book and
uses it to jail people of whose views it
disapproves -- on this particular occasion
it was at the written request (November 7,
1989) of a Jewish-Marxist body, the
Dokumentationsarchiv des Widerstandes.
AWPOW! I
AM incidentally waiting for the right
moment, and the right phrasing, to issue
new proceedings against any writer of
substance who publishes within the
Jurisdiction the demonstrable lie that
"David Irving is a Holocaust denier." Who
wants to be first, fellers? And don't
imagine you can weasel round it by
pointing to Mr Justice Gray: that won't
wash any more. | David Irving, who completed
a prison sentence for
Holocaust denial in
Austria last year [see
panel at right], had a stall at the
event, offering his controversial books on
revisionism. Undercover reporters also found that
his stall contained anti-semitic pamphlets.
[Website comment: see
the concluding paragraph of panel at right. Don't
snivel that you weren't warned].The programme revealed that Combat 18 members
and other neo-nazi groups attend the event from
abroad. Karen Bollock, Chief Executive of the
Holocaust
Educational Trust
[Website comment: How
many executives does this phony "charity"
have?] told the Jewish News:
"Whilst I understand that many people enjoy
collecting military memorabilia, the notion that it
is appropriate to market 'a concentration camp
trolley marked SS from Belsen' is appalling."
[Website comment: We
believe that there are much worse exhibits on
commercial display at the Holocaust Museums in
Auschwitz, London and Washington; and hot-dog
stands as well.] She added: "David Irving has been described by a
High Court Judge as 'a falsifier of history' and
should not be given a platform to spread his
hatred." Gerry Gable, editor of anti-fascist
magazine Searchlight, added, "I would think
these days with all the fears of people running
around with bomb manuals and de-activated firearms
the Government might view this film and think we
need to licence such organisations."
[Website comment:
See
our dossier on the long criminal career of Mr Gable
and his accomplices -- burglary, theft of Post
Office IDs,
arson....] Rex Cadman, organiser of the War and
Peace Show said he was not aware of the offensive
material but added that the goods would have been
removed if he had seen them. "David Irving wasn't
invited and the person who let him on his stall
will be reprimanded. The items identified in the
show, although a minority were of great concern. We
will aim to stamp out extremism but there is also a
risk that this programme may encourage extremists
to attend if they see other Combat 18
members." Weekend Nazis: John Sweeney reported Monday,
August 27, 2007 on BBC1 at 8.30pm Some
see pamphlets, others moustaches. TV super-reporter
John Sweeney needs help, says historian
David Irving (right). A few minutes before this
young Oxford University student asked for a photo
with him Irving was filmed -- without invitation --
by Sweeney and his roving team at the Beltring
militaria show. David Irving had a moustache, says
Sweeney. What had he smoking?
