On Sunday, October 9, 2005, in Rome, Clemens-August von Galen (1878–1946), count and bishop of Münster (North Rhineland-Westphalia), was beatified. On this occasion, French journalist Henri Tincq wrote: “Attending the event himself, an exceptional gesture for a Pope, Benedict XVI praised his ‘heroic courage’ to defend ‘the rights of God, of the Church and of…
In France, the Fabius-Gayssot Act of July 13, 1990 forbids the disputing of the existence “of crimes against humanity” as defined and punished, just after the war, by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg (1945-1946).

In France, Le…
Ho già dimostrato come Claude Lanzmann, nel suo film Shoah, aveva cercato di farci credere alle camere a gas di Auschwitz e Treblinka. Egli aveva utilizzato in particolare pretesi testimoni oculari polacchi o tedeschi i cui racconti erano in realtà vaghi, confusi, contraddittori e ricchi di impossibilità materiali.
