Awfully predictable. It is telling that an exhibit that is supposedly documenting Sweden during WWII is entitled “Sweden and the Holocaust.”

The Local - A new exhibition in Sweden - officially neutral in World War II - displays documentary evidence of war-time medical experiments, commerce with the Nazis and indifference to the plight of Jews.

“Our main aim is to reveal the problematic nature of Sweden’s role during the war and raise questions about it,” said Helene Lööw, head of the Living History Forum, which set up the exhibit.

The exhibition is scheduled to run through 2007, after which it will go on tour throughout Sweden, and is made up of a permanent exhibit and a rotating show.

The Living History Forum, which focuses on the Holocaust and raises issues of tolerance, democracy and human rights, was founded by the government in 2003 following a campaign to raise awareness of the genocide.

Outrageous claims and innuendoes that they can’t back up and that have been taken out of context. About the only thing missing now is a legal extortion campaign. Regardless, it is important for the Holocaust Industry to maintain a toehold in public discourse and guilt-mongering. For them it is important that people do not forget the actual Holocaust, but for different reasons and only as long as it is packaged and propagated in their official propaganda.
Having very little confidence with the Living History Forum, which is openly dedicated to the Holocaust Industry, I must conclude that this again misses the point and fails to expand our knowledge, settling only for well-known trivialities and fingerpointing. Ironically of course, they say in their official material that they want people to come and form their own opinion. But only as long as you accept the official story. For once, I feel compelled to reach for a term often used by American and Jewish apologists, namely self-hatred.
