Description
Examines the various and different forms of trivialization of the Nazi genocide of Europe's Jews during World War II. This trivialization does not always occur with the intention of diminishing it, but rather with the intention of using the Holocaust to draw attention to political or social issues. 'Holocaust distortion' depicts Israel as the 'new Nazis' and puts the Jews under general suspicion for all the evil in the world. The conduct of the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli government's policy is equated with Nazi persecution
