Funny, You Don’t Look Illuminated

Posted by James Bowery on Saturday, 05 August 2006 17:48.

“Everything is Illuminated” is yet another “let’s bury the Ukranian Famine in Holocaustian myths” movie. It’s not the worst such atrocity. That distinction belongs to “Harvest of Despair: Life and Death in Ukraine under Nazi Rule” by Karel C. Berkhoff which was published after the _only_ motion picture _ever_ made about the Ukranian Famine, “Harvest of Despair: The Unknown Holocaust” by Slavko Nowytski (contrasted with over a hundred different Holocaustian Passion Plays shown at a theater (and video store and TV) near you).

So what if it is hard to top Berkhoff’s Holodomor Denying Chutzpah. That doesn’t keep Holocaustian Passion Play producers from trying. Now we all know why they do this: The year of the Ukranian Famine (aka Holodomor) directly preceded Hitler’s rise to power in Nazi Germany with a popular vote. Why, if people realized that Stalin’s willing executioners were primarily Jewish, chosen by Stalin, precisely because they were Jews and therefore harbored little sympathy for native Ukranians, for the job of starving to death several million Ukranians, and that they did this just prior to the rise to popular power of the most infamous antisemite in history in nearby Germany, people might start getting heretical ideas, and then their souls would be eternally damned or something worse like becoming *gasp* “Holocaust Relativizers”. (Under Holocaustianity we don’t need reminding that the root word of “rational” is “ratio” since all we need to know is how Jews are now feeling, have in the past felt and are going to in the future feel.)

One of the more amusing features of many movies about Jewish people, particularly Holocaustian Passion Plays, is the casting. Frequently the casting directors act like they have a positive aversion to casting Jews or even Jewish looking actors as Jews. “Everything is Illuminated” is this genre of Holocaustian Passion Play.

No need to go into it. It is a button-pushing arty film, as are most Holocaustian Passion Plays. See it at your own risk.

There’s a lot to disagree with here, and a lot to find fault with in the gross anti-culture of holocaust museums and holocaust ‘art’.
So I will raise a point of agreement instead: it is known that the mass murder campaign in the Ukraine and South Russia, was heavily covered in the German press in 1933.
When the Khmer Rouge mass murder society was revealed to the world in 1979, there commenced a great move to the right, as in the UK, and the US in 1980.

The Khmer Rouge’s driving force, Pol Pot, differed from the Jewish killers in Ukraine for the simple reason that the Asian despot was guilty of murdering large numbers of his own ethnic group.

What are the odds that Ernst Nolte’s work ever finds its way into English?

if you search for “holocaust” in the internet movie database there’s hundreds of results but there’s none if you search for “holodomor”

“if you search for ‘holocaust’ in the internet movie database there are hundreds of results but there are none if you search for ‘holodomor’ “ (—JB)

During the 1940s a critic of the way the Indians were depicted in Hollywood movies asked when movies were finally going to show Indians winning some battles. The answer came, “When Indians start making movies.”

(Incidentally, is “JB” always James Bowery or is there a separate “JB” who posts here?)

That’s a separate JB.

“That’s a separate JB.” (—James Bowery)

OK thanks, that’s important to know. When “JB” first appeared I took him for a separate commenter, then for some reason—I forget exactly why—I assumed he was you, James, and for a while now I’ve been taking all “JB’s” comments as coming from you.

I’ve never heard of Jack Boot, but as long as he wasn’t Max Boot,( * ) we’re OK ...

“who may not know of him,” that should’ve been, just above

What are the odds that Ernst Nolte’s work ever finds its way into English?

There are currently two books by Ernst Nolte available in the US and two additional books that contain major essays by him:

The Three Faces of Fascism
Marxism, Fascism, Cold War
Fascism and Communism (half-written by Nolte)
Aspects of the Third Reich (contains the essay Between Myth and Revisionism)

Hmm, that didn’t format right… The Three Faces of Fascism and Marxism, Fascism, Cold War are separate books.

Thanks, Arcane. Those aren’t the titles I was hoping to see, but I’ll probably get more out of those than I’ll get out of the others in the original German.

You wouldn’t by any chance have an English translation of Vergangenheit, die nicht vergehen will, would you? I’d be greatly interested in it. Thanks!

I would like to see Der europäische Bürgerkrieg, 1917-1945 translated into English…
