Schindler’s lies (link in description)

Video Transcript:

Of the many hundreds of anti-Nazi films, released since 1945, one film, more than any other, has influenced how millions perceived Germany's role in World War II. Filmed in black and white, for acclaimed to authenticity, it was then sold to the public, as a true story. Despite the scenes of nudity and violence, it was shown to children, in schools in the US and Europe, as mandatory viewing. In the film, the film is based upon this book, Schillers List, which won the LA Times Book Award for Fiction. Here we have a film being shown to our children as true, when it's based on the book that says this is a work of fiction, in other words, it's not true. Characters, places and incidents are either products of the author's imagination or are certain. Hello, gentlemen and gentlemen, President of Samus custodial Visual estate published, animated, Interopor DC, on Tyria, Canada. I'm going to bring you a Canadian expert about Plattro Camp. Plattro Camp is the place where Schindler's list supposedly was filmed or was taking place in the Second World War. Plattro Camp is outside Krakow and it was filmed and photographed by people who actually worked and lived in there. And if you can believe the book Schindler's list and of course be forewarned, it is a novel and then the inside pages it says that all the events described and the persons shown are merely coincidental, the dialogue obviously also. Nevertheless, there were photographs taken inside that camp by people who worked in there. And these photographs were made available to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, John Ball, a Canadian geologist and expert in photo interpretation, especially aerial photo interpretation, went there, obtained those photographs for me, made some drawings, computer-generated drawings, very interesting drawings, and gave us a running account of what he saw. And I found it fascinating because of course if John Ball, a Canadian geologist with a kind of an expertise in aerial photo interpretation could come to these conclusions. So could have all the high-powered advisors, historians and so on that Steven Spielberg had his command or the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum had their command, they could have come up with the same explanations. It is shocking but John Ball reveals and the photographs clearly show a totally different picture from what Hollywood wants to portray for us. And the photographs reveal that command and good could impossibly have used his rifle and shot prisoners in a parade square or a pelt-lots because between his veranda and this parade square there were trees, bushes, actually a hill. He could not look down there and aim his rifle and shoot these unsuspecting prisoners to where it is shown in Steven Spielberg's film. That Steven Spielberg's film was in my opinion a kind of a deception from the beginning, and we've seen that it was felt necessary to make it in the genre of a kind of a news reel using hand-held cameras and shooting it in black and white and also portraying the Germans in such a negative stereotypical nasty fashion that not even the hero of the film Shintler was anything but a corrupt, rotten, cynical, smoking, boozing, hoaring, German speaks volumes. And to me it surprises me that judges, educators, professors, writers, newspaper pundits, columnists, even historians say, go at presidents, excuse me, presidents like President Clinton and President Whiteck of West Germany are kind of suggesting to their population, especially the young people, to go watch Shintler's list in order that you get a true picture of history. Well, since when was history proven through a novel and through fictitious dialogue? I think there is enough history around the Second World War, enough documents around and there are ever more documents released now that we don't have to rely on Hollywoodized versions of Jurassic Park-like productions in effect, another entertainment flick, and especially one that shows all Germans in the film thoroughly disgusting, corrupt, mean, nasty, and every Jew in a picture, nothing but noble, long, suffering, kind, and honest. Platto camp was undoubtedly like all other internment camps, be they in Canada, the United States, in Russia or in Germany, a place where people were deprived of their freedom and therefore not in a nice place. Because freedom is something precious, let me tell you, because I had been behind bars because I, that dare to doubt the standard version of the Holocaust. So I have seen jails in Germany, in Austria, and in Canada. And so I understand that people who were inside those camps didn't like it and maybe now that the war is over, they like to strike back at the Germans who put them there for a certain period of the war as a war measure. This was not a unique experience, not for Jews, it was shared by Germans, Russians, Poles, Canadians, Americans. Virtually all the people involved in the Second World War at one time or another had parts of their population, both civilian and military, inside camps, work camps, with barracks and mass feedings, and undoubtedly nitpicking and cruelty by guards. That's the human condition. Have a look, have a listen. Lend an ear to what John Ball, Canadian geologist and photo interpreter has to show you on what Placio camp in Poland really looked like during the war. Not what Stephen Spielberg said it looked like and not what Hollywood misrepresented it into being. The Germans are not the genocidal maniac, they are not vicious, cruel, mean people that want to leak around beating, shooting, torturing people, they are also not as corrupt as they are shown in Stephen Spielberg's film. Germans are people like you and like I. It's time to put the Second World War behind us, not with the Germans as the only guilty party, but based on facts so that we can live together as a family of people who are flawed undoubtedly, some more, some less, but nobody is innocent. Let him who is innocent in the tragedy of the Second World War cost the first stone.
