PROOF POSITIVE

I can't help noting that the more things change, the more they stay the same. In nothing I know anything about is this truer than in this: Some idiot will publish a denial of the Holocaust.

For years I've scratched my head and wondered why Cal Poly or the University of California at Berkeley don't just devote a few experts to prove that technical challenges involving physical sciences to the accepted Holocaust history, in fact, are baseless. They could then demonstrate in detail how the physics, engineering, chemistry, et al, could result in the ghastly genocide.

Since the educators cannot or will not expend the time and money to resolve all doubts - once and for all, I wish to suggest an approach that might practically demonstrate the horrible facts of the matter.

Since the Nazis seemed to be fanatics in regard to cleanliness and as large numbers of Jews were apparently turned into bars of soap, I propose a solemn parade through Washington, D.C., of the living descendants of the victims of the Nazi Death Camps, in each hand of which would be a laminated bar of soap, representing one of the victims. A discreet banner, bearing the name of each victim, would be held by the free hand of the solemn participants.

If this parade were to be internationally televised, the impact upon the world's understanding of the tragedy of the murder of the Jews would be greatly improved. Science and engineering may have something useful to say on these issues, but nothing says it better than six million bars of soap. With these bars of soap, we can wash away the filth of doubt - once and forever.
