An Interview with Holocaust survivor Laura Hillman:
Ms. Hillman: I’ve never heard of anyone calling a group which includes Jews Holocaust deniers. Once when speaking in a school a skinhead said to me that I had no proof of the Holocaust. I said to him, when you bring back my brothers and my parents, then you have proof. But until that time, I am living proof of the Holocaust. And he walked out of a crowded room of a few hundred people.
No Jews? She obviously has never met David Coleman, Gilead Atzmon or Joseph Ginzburg.
How is the reincarnation of her brothers and parents proof of a "holocaust? Did you notice that the "skinhead", if that's what he was, was right? She DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROOF! She did have a flip answer, but no proof. No wonder he walked out, if the only answer he's going to get is a non sequiter, there's no point in trying to talk to her.
It's not out of line to demand that somebody claiming to be an eyewitness present some proof of what they saw, at the very least dates, times and places that can be checked into. I've followed Hillman for some time, she's never once said that she ever witnessed any exterminations.
And her father could not have been killed in Buchenwald in 1942. Her father, like Hillman, was Jewish. Buchenwald at that time was a camp for politicals, troublemakers, common criminals, war profiteers, blackmarketers and even a few Nazi's who had fallen foul of the regime. There were no Jews in Buchenwald until near the end of the war.
Ms. Hillman: I don’t think that the Holocaust belongs in scientific debates.
I'm sure she doesn't! Too many awkward questions to answer, and her brothers and father magically reappearing won't answer all of them!
