Relatives of Holocaust victims still visit Holocaust museums though they, like you, know what happened. Some topics have to continuously be investigated for them to remain true, relevant, and impactful. You don't want those topics to rest on handed down truths, for they will become archaic and will seem distant and irrelevant.
- DanBC 8y agoYes, but we don't allow these conversations to be driven by Holocaust deniers.
- yostrovs 8y agoThere's nobody to "allow these conversations". The conversations actually happen all the time and it's a good thing they do.
- geofft 8y agoMost conversations about the Holocaust do not involve Holocaust deniers, and it is in fact quite common policy for people hosting such conversations (e.g., museums) to disallow deniers.
- simonh 8y agoApart from anything else, how are you going to persuade someone if you don't talk to them? A lot of people that get pulled into these things don't have access to reasoned counter-points. They might have just searched for something on Youtube and got sucked down a fringe kook rabbit hole by the recommendation engine.
