More on the Holocaust History Project fire

An update to the story of arson at the Holocaust History Project that I first discussed on Wednesday.

A local news report showing the extent of the damage to the offices of the Holocaust History Project and including an interview with Harry Mazal can be found here.

Not unexpectedly, the cockroaches are crawling out of the woodwork on some discussion boards. A Holocaust denier under the 'nym of "Lurkerthe" (you'll need to scroll down a bit). I knew it wouldn't be long before deniers tried this gambit, or some variation thereof:

Hats off to Mazal. He is smarter than I thought.

A nice little insurance scam! Obviously THHP being an entirely internet endeavour there are no "THHP offices" - especially not in industrial warehouses. Data being obtained and posted at individual members computers all over North America.

And I think we can all have a good guffaw at the idea of Harry doing "good work" for mexican schools.

And another guffaw for the idea that revisionists somehow snuck into this warehouse and found the offices or upper floor (where ol' Harry had stuck the stuff he wanted insurace on) and set fire to it.

In a single blow he gets rid of some surplus stock, claims overpriced insurance, blames phantom Neo-nazis, makes a handsome profit and gets to do the Jewish cultural practice since time immemorial of displaying his seeping sores in public (ie act the victim)

Truly, a credit to his ethnicity!

I would urge "Lurkerthe" to look at the news report and see what was damaged. Not that it would do any good with a someone like him.

Hate-filled idiots like "Lurkerthe" are what we're up against.

Today's regularly scheduled post has been delayed due to an important and tragic development. Something bad happened a couple of days ago, something that cuts rather close to home. Arsonists targeted the offices used as a mailing address for the Holocaust History Project (THHP). (Video here, but…
Last week, I reported about arson at the offices of The Holocaust History Project (THHP), posted one update, and was gratified to see how many bloggers responded to my call to link to THHP as a big "screw you!" to whoever did this. An article about the arson at the Holocaust History Project has…
The White House in its statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day engaged in Holocaust denial. Then they doubled down on the action and via Reince Priebus on Meet the Press expressed no regret about the wording which had no mention of the Jews in their supposed "remembrance". This has been criticized…
Yesterday, I did a rather long post that used as its introduction an assertion by bioethicist Arthur Caplan in a review of the anti-evolution propaganda movie Expelled! that the claim that Darwinism led more or less directly to the Holocaust is a form of Holocaust denial. In my post, I concluded…

Intellectually, I am aware that bigotry exists, but emotionally, it is a solid kick in the gut to come across such pure hatred. I truly don't understand it.

I'm surprised "Lurkerthug" didn't try to deny the existence of Mr. Mazal while he was at it! But of course, the voices of evil dare not admit even the faintest defeat, lest their opportunistic followers turn to some other, more "profitable" cause.
