Platonov's Views On Holocaust
A review in the Journal of Historical Review of a special issue of Russky Vestnik on Holocaust revisionism quotes Platonov as follows:
Russian historian Dr. Oleg A. Platonov writes of the "myth of the 'Holocaust', namely, that six million Jews were allegedly put to death in gas chambers during the Second World War. "This myth, he continues, "has taken hold in the mass mind with particular force,"with the aim of encouraging non-Jews to "feel a sense of guilt, repent and pay restitution."

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
