Your research; your sources, are any first hand? Were you an observer during the Holocaust? Of course not! You rely on the written word and photographic evidence provided by experts and testamonies of survivors. FYI, film documentaries are no more prone to inaccuracies and biases than published opinions. I'm not intimating that there aren't biased or fictionalized documentaries produced, but filtering is part of the process of acquiring useful information. Conversely, refusal to view ANY potential source of information is anathema to the process of "broadening knowledge."While we're on this subject, one more point begs consideration: Agendas, speculations and biases may be present in print sources just as they are in film. Reading a scholorly treatise is no guarantee that one is going to be provided with a clearer picture of events just because the reader wants to believe it. OTOH, film documenteries CAN and often do get to the heart of issues in ways that print media can't, as on-camera interviews convey physical behaviors that transcend words.
>>> "Was I off-topic? Shivver me timbers, that's never happened *here* before! However, I must inform you that my initial comment, which so raised everyone's hackles, had to do with an indefinite antecedent in someone's post. It was simply a wry interpretation of unclear writing." <<<
*Indefinite antecedent!* LOL! Is that your ergot infected rye interpretation? ;^)
