So he made up the story to bring "happiness and hope" to people? Well, I can think of one segment of the population he''s certainly brought happiness and hope to... The Holocaust deniers thank you, Mr. Rosenblat! Perhaps you can even look forward to them ordering massive quantities of that children''s book about you, for distribution to schools all over America. And when the movie makes it to DVD, you''ve got that market locked up, baby!
If Bernie Madoff pushed Jews back 50 years, Rosenblat can take credit for pushing them back another 50. Any more takers? Should we settle for a return to pogroms, or should we take this baby all the way back to the era of the Spanish Inquisition?!
There are questions that I''d like to see answered, but perhaps never will be. For starters, how long has Rosenblat been telling this story? Is it a story that he and his wife have been telling their children, grandchildren, relatives and friends for the past half century? Or did he make it up only recently?
If the latter, then one does have to conclude, sadly, that a whole bunch of people, by their silence, have been complicit in this fraud. Can you imagine your father or mother going on Oprah telling a story like this when you''d never heard it from them yourself?
And what about his wife, Roma? She''s as much a part of this fabrication as he is. How did this happen? How and when did this web get spun, and just how many people were willing participants in that spinning?
Lochlan - that''s Irish, right? And you are an authority on holocaust stories? Are you drunk? You must be drunk, because everyone knows the Irish do nothing but drink, right? Or is that just another story from "those who control our media"?
Don''''t take people.. ANYBODY! Word for word.. Ever again! Posted by william471 %u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.
Which is pretty sad. Especially with a subject like the holocaust. Growing up I was taught to believe that the holocaust happened, as I was being told%u2026and...that people were basically honorable. Then along came %u201CHogan%u2019s Heroes%u201D. At the time a large number of people were offended at the idea of a comedy about Nazi prison camps. TV Guide then did a story about Robert Clary (Cpl. LeBeau). It told about how he had been in a Nazis concentration camp and had seen his family murdered by the Nazis. The result was that people then backed off on their criticism on the basis of %u201Cif he can see the humor in it%u2026%u201D I was appalled. This guy had supposedly seen his family murdered by Nazis and he was making light of the Nazis. He is running around in scenes where he is playing with the German guard dogs after saying that he saw people ton apart by guard dogs. What conclusion can you come to except that either his holocaust story is not true or that he is so dishonorable that he would make fun of it to get an acting job? I don%u2019t want to think I have been lied to about the holocaust and I want to believe that people are basically honorable, but I guess I can%u2019t have both. If I can only have one of these to believe, I don%u2019t know which I would choose.
This is why there are no innocent lies. By telling one "innocent lie" about the holocaust it gives the ignorant the basis to deny the entire holocaust. Which leads them to feeling enabled to use a name like "Hymietown".
People are ruled by their emotions; their emotions are ruled by their prejudices, their prejudices are ruled by their ignorances and their ignorances are ruled by the lies excite their emotions.
You may critcize people like Mel Gibson and his father for denying the holocaust, but you can''t totally blame them when holocaust survivors keep getting caught lying about the holocaust.
"Hymietown" chose to use the name, but Rosenblat helped create the climate where it is acceptable.

The book by Frey that was on Oprah - everyone loved it. Then we found out it was not true.
Again...so what if someone learned something positive from it???
If Bernie Madoff pushed Jews back 50 years, Rosenblat can take credit for pushing them back another 50. Any more takers? Should we settle for a return to pogroms, or should we take this baby all the way back to the era of the Spanish Inquisition?!

There must be an affliction that causes one to believe that more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ should usurp ethics and honesty.
