In that circumstance it wouldn't even be a footnote; nobody would even hear of it, except perhaps as a "conspiracy theory".

- andromeduck 6y agoEh, probably more like how the Holodomor is treated in Russia or Nanking massacre in Japan and the west for that matter: disputed by apologists in public, lauded by nationalists in private, denied by the people in power and mostly forgotten by the rest.
- jondubois 6y agoExactly. People can't wrap their minds around the fact that their own country is constantly peddling propaganda. I noticed this after I started travelling around the world working in different countries. Every single country is constantly pushing its own propaganda and they all have some element of truth mixed together with lies. Conspiracy theory is how governments hides aspects of the truth that they don't like.
- the-dude 6y agojon(dubois), you are dead & shadow banned.
- jondubois 6y agoHow can you see my comment? What do you mean dead? This better not be a death threat.
- the-dude 6y agoJon, shadow banned means you can only see yourself ( and us who have show dead on ). Log out or take an incognito-window : you will find your comment missing. If you want to correct this, contact HN ( see footer ).
- jondubois 6y agoAh OK, I suspected maybe because my score is negative. Thanks for letting me know.
- emilsedgh 6y agoUnited States dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan and most it's citizens don't/didn't feel bad about it. Why do you think a victorious German society would've cared that deeply about Jews who have been historically loathed? It would've been publicized as a success, not something to hide away.
- pmachinery 6y ago> United States dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan and most it's citizens don't/didn't feel bad about it. The US didn't drop nuclear bombs on Japan just because the people there are Japanese. > Why do you think a victorious German society would've cared that deeply about Jews who have been historically loathed? Why do you think Germans would not care that their government exterminated six million Jews? > It would've been publicized as a success, not something to hide away. Then why did they take such great lengths to hide it away?
