The Holocaust - everyone knows about it. In a society saturated with Western influence, it is hard to find someone who does not sympathise wholeheartly with the Jewish victims of the event. The Holocaust seems to be a fait accompli, set in stone - who would deny that it happened?
However, understandably, there are people who disagree with society's version of events. They believe that the Holocaust didn't happen or that it was an exaggerated event. Now, I don't have a bone to pick with these people. People have the right to believe anything they want. If
Ling believes that she's invisible when noone is looking at her and she's not looking at herself, then good for her. In democratic society, we would expect that we are given the liberty of free thought.
BUT NO, in 12 countries in Europe, including Germany, Italy, Austria, France, Belgium and Switzerland, it is a CRIME to not believe that the Holocaust happened. They label these non-believers 'Holocaust deniers' and send them off to jail for their opinions. Yes, the core countries of the EU, boasting themselves to be beacons of democracy and always bagging China for its 'human rights abuses', jailing their own citizens for believing in a different version of history. It doesn't matter whether the Holocaust occured or not. That is irrelevant. The point is that in democratic countries, people are being penalised for believing in something. Imagined being jailed for believing that the Australia is square. OK, Australia is not square, and you would probably offend Australians by saying that. Off to jail, boy.
Enroaching on the freedom of free speech is the worst human rights abuse of all. If the Holocaust is true, it does not need to be enforced by law. Governments should not be so cowardly as to jail people whose beliefs they disagree with. This is sure to raise suspicions in our minds - why are these countries jialing people for being Holocaust revisionists? Is there something fishy about the truth of the Holocaust? Something they are trying to hide?
The very laws that attempt to suppress independent views on the Holocaust undermines the event's integrity. It leads to mavericks like me, who before readily accepted the truth of the Holocaust, to now view it with a touch of skeptism. Perhaps these governments will one day realise that people's beliefs cannot be suppressed.
Truth always prevails. If it doesn't, get over it.
