When I was in high school I was subjected to long years of fairly intensive 'Holocaust' education - the reason being that the history tutors at our school had all specialized in the 'Holocaust' during their undergraduate history degrees - and of the many examples of 'Nazi propaganda about the jews' that I was told about and shown during that time: one in particular has always stuck with me.
It is a diagram of jewish noses that was allegedly - according to my old history textbook anyway - a Nazi diagram meant to confirm their pseudo-scientific beliefs about - as well as encourage hatred of - the jews. That particular diagram I found online yesterday when I happened to recall it and what I had (accidentally) discovered about it in the interim years.
The diagram concerned is thus:
Now I am sure that my fellow long-standing sufferers of indoctrination will remember that one of the claims about this diagram is that it was a crude bit of Nazi propaganda and was meant to get people to believe that a 'jewish nose' sometimes looked like the figure six and thus - as six is the number of the devil - the jews were evil.
As I've already intimated: some time ago I happened to come across this diagram again, but yet there were no mentions of Nazis or anti-Semitism in sight. (1) Indeed the scientist discussing it regards its use by the NSDAP as irrelevant in part because it was actually drawn by one of the most important jewish anthropologists and writers of the late nineteenth/early twentieth century called Joseph Jacobs. (2)
Specifically the article it comes from is Joseph Jacobs, 1885, 'On the racial characteristics of modern Jews', Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Vol. 15, pp. 23-62.
This is interesting precisely because it points out the fact that what 'Holocaust' historians are teaching as 'crude Nazi propaganda' designed to make make people hate jews was actually a diagram taken from a major jewish author on the subject of the racial anthropology of the jews and was meant to (correctly) illustrate the agreement between 'Nazi racial science' and 'Jewish racial science' on the distinctive physical characteristics of the jews.
It is also neatly points out that 'crude Nazi propaganda' against the jews is quite frequently not crude, not factually inarguable even today and was good science in its day (which also means that looking doing on it today - because science is a continuous empirical process not a state - is essentially a tautology).
Scratch one myth.
