So it boils down to trust? As regards the question of the Holocaust, in whom
should I put this trust? In Daniel Jonah Goldhagen and Deborah Lipstadt, or
in David Irving? Given that there is a difference of opinion, can anybody be
said to be telling the absolute truth? And as I never experienced the
absolute truth of it myself...
Not denying the Holocaust, but wondering where and if the Absolute Truth of
it exists or existed. None of use know the whole story, so can the truth
ever be absolute? I'm certain about lots of things, but not absolutely so.
