[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Not necessarily "something to hide". The danger is much greater that the taboo grow by itself, in fact. In a context where no discussion is allowed, no research is permitted, even the slightest event takes over time the proportions of a monstruous affair. This is exactly how gossips work. The Holocaust is no "slightest event" at all, and it is a monstruous affair, let me make my point clear. But even though it's not in its interest to make it smaller, I am worried that it could become bigger. *

I'm talking about the Holocaust as I would of any dogma. Social or religious.



* ...and that some militaro-governmental agencies make use of the antisemitism scarecrow (as a well known state does with the terrorism scarecrow) to steer the people's mind. But that's another matter. Holy shit, this subject is a bomb.
