GRAPEVINE, Page 13Once Burned, Twice Bold
By SOPHFRONIA SCOTT GREGORY
London's Sunday Times, apparently unfazed by its
embarrassment over publishing what proved to be faked "diaries"
of Adolf Hitler nine years ago, seems to be courting trouble
again. The paper is publishing what it bills as new segments
from the diaries of Hitler's propaganda chief, JOSEPH GOEBBELS.
(His description of Kristallnacht: "The sky is blood red. The
synagogue is burning. Bravo! Bravo!") The controversy this time,
however, does not revolve around whether the diaries are
genuine; parts have already been authenticated and published.
Instead, it centers on the paper's hiring of the pro-Nazi
revisionist historian David Irving to handle the project. Among
other things, Irving denies that the Holocaust happened, calling
the Auschwitz gas chambers "a figment of British propaganda,"
and claims that Hitler was unfairly vilified for his role in
World War II atrocities.
