After we have
blasted Dr. Feinstein's preposterous Holocaust course
History of the Holocaust (JWST 3521) in our
critical study entitled
Dr. Feinstein has placed in his 'Curriculum
Modeles' webpage at
<chgs.umn.edu/educational/curriculum.html> the
entire <iSurvived.org> Holocaust remembrance
website on his blacklist, being first in his
ranking [sic!], surpassing even the No. 1
Holocaust Denier site !!!
In Dr. Feinstein's
world, questioning, criticizing and/or scrutinizing
the merits of his academic courses and standards is
a no-no proposition as the tranquillity and the
comfort of his academic settings created is being
disturbed and that cannot be tolerated --not by a
long shot, for sure-- by Dr. Feinstein.
The
<iSurvived.org> website is being characterized
by Dr. Feinstein as, and we quote,
"Very combattive [aka 'combative'] and
arrogant site." And that, in Dr. Feinstein's mind,
is considered to be more dangerous even than the
most notorious Holocaust Denier sites !!!
All this, of course, reveals --first-hand,
perhaps-- Dr. Feinstein's current sorrow state
of mind and his criteria of evaluating Holocaust
websites, or for that matter anything else.
(God forbid for
a student of Dr. Feinstein to question and
challenge him on anything related to his teaching
--as that student is through, for sure!)
What is most
troublesome for us is that Dr. Feinstein, in
the same 'Educational' webpage, lists all of the
most notorious Holocaust Denier websites that need
not pop up and be publicized under any pretext
whatsoever. This, in our considerate view, is a
grave error of judgment on Dr. Feinstein's
part, as we refuse to believe that it represents a
premeditated, deliberate act of publicizing
Holocaust denial websites.
Below, without
additional comment, we post Dr. Feinstein's blacklist
where we have substituted, as needed, certain
referenced words with the word 'BLIP'.

Updated Note of
January 19, 2008:
In Dr.
Feinstein's current revised "Unreliable Websites"
section, our Holocaust survivors and remembrance
website has slipped to the 2nd place (after
Wikipedia). But our website still gets the most
attention from Dr. Feinstein, as now this text
is being posted:
"Very
combative and arrogant site that can be
classified as a denial site, with little
original material, whose alleged author
has been exposed as supporting a hoax
organization under the guise of being
survivor-oriented. It has no sense of
scholarship or historiography. For
outside documentation on this, see:
Report on Kalman K. Brattman and the
Holocaust Survivors Network or its
Appendix. The U of M's CHGS has also
been attacked by this site for
disagreement."

To put Dr. Feinstein's mind at ease, we are
absolutely independent and do not support or being
supported by any organization. Dr. Feinstein is
indeed most welcome to reveal to us his discovered
"hoax organization under the guise of being
survivor-oriented" as we have no clue of the
existence of such an organization. We have no
problem whatsoever to publish in here, in full, that
revelation or, for that matter, any material that we
may receive from Dr. Feinstein with respect to
this or any other related matter regarding his
ludicrous posting that is being paid not by
Dr. Feinstein but by the University of
Minnesota.
Continuing in responding
to Dr. Feinstein's posting (as silence for
us is not an option), we indeed have "little
original material" as aside from our detailed definition of the Holocaust (that is by far the most
visited single page of the entire website) and is
designed to give the "tone" of our website, we have
no other significant "original material." The reason
for this is quite simple as the scope and purpose of
this website of ours is to publicize the available
Holocaust online material that we can find to be
reflective to the "tone" that was specified in our
stated Holocaust definition. For more
information on this, please visit our 'About' page.
We indeed are
merciless, and offer no apology, when we encounter
Jewish people like Dr. Feinstein,
Eric Saul, or Solly Ganor that make a mockery
of the Holocaust, its teachings and representations,
and its tragic legacy. We recognize that this odd triangle wants us to go away
reverting to all sorts of pathetic things and
tactics, but we are here to stay for the foreseeable
future.
The "outside
documentation" that Dr. Feinstein is referring to is
the one of the disgruntled Eric Saul, exposed by us
in full in here. Dr. Feinstein should
know better that, in an academic setting, the
integrity of a particular documentation is of
paramount importance, being critical indeed, for the
advancement of a particular point. Anything to be
added here is superfluous on that "documentation."
Finally, it is
difficult to find a single person, in his/her normal
state of mind, to consider or to view our website as
a Holocaust "denial site" and, as such, we cannot
help but feel sorry for Dr. Feinstein's current
state of mind. It is indeed a tragedy of monumental
proportion in one's life when one is being robbed by
the most precious evolutionary commodity that we
have: the Mind.
All the best wishes
for Dr. Feinstein.
Respectfully added,
K.
