> Hitler's Big Lie was the lie that the Jews promoted a falsehood.
Just going on the wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie) page, feel free to rebut it if you think it's incorrect:
"Hitler claimed that the [Big Lie] technique had been used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist political leader in the Weimar Republic."
So the term "Big Lie" in that case wasn't Hitlers lie as you claim, but the technique he (untruthfully) claimed that the Jews used in his efforts to scapegoat them.
If the wiki page is correct, the usages we are discussing have the opposite truth structure. If the wiki page is incorrect, then I'd recommend you suggest an edit to correct it.
- woodruffw 4y agoIt's in the second graf of the page: > Herf maintains that Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi Party actually used the big lie technique that they described – and that they used it to turn long-standing antisemitism in Europe into mass murder. In other words, there are two Big Lies that originate with Hitler: the claimed Big Lie, and the actual Big Lie.
