"Nothing but simple questioning of history"?  I wish more people would
question it!

Mr. Black probably has _no_ direct evidence of whether the Nazis killed
all those Jews, since it happened so long ago.  He must therefore rely
on second-hand accounts, or more likely third-hand.  Spiritually, his
only mistake lies in accepting the accounts of hateful men.
