Reply #57: But That Is Just What We Are Discussing, Sir

[The Magistrate]

And the line you are claiming is something different is in fact merely the standard opening wedge of minimization that seeks to end with the statement nothing particular was done to Jews by Hitler at all. The fact is that there are no lies of any importance in even the popular conception of the Hitlerite crimes, and none in the professional historical account of them. There is no other side in this: there is no debate. What you are defending here is precisely the thing you close by claiming to denounce, namely, the shovelling of darkness to conceal other darkness. That is what the busines of this conference is.
