The Taboo Against Truth, Holocausts and the Historians by Ralph Raico . Summary of Unz review article: It was the Communists who introduced into modern Europe the awful fact and terrifying threat of the killing of civilians on a vast scale, implying the extermination of whole categories of persons.The facts regarding the Ukrainian terror famine of the early 1930s and the Stalinist gulag were also known in broad outline in European right-wing circles. In their minds, as in those of right-wingers generally, the Bolshevik acts were transformed, irrationally, into Jewish acts, a transformation helped along by the existence of a high proportion of Jews among the early Bolshevik leaders. He [the historian Ernst Nolte] was accused of “historicizing” and “relativizing” the Holocaust and chided for questioning its “uniqueness.” In 1920, after a visit to Russia, Bertrand Russell wrote to Lady Ottoline Morell: Bolshevism is a closed tyrannical bureaucracy, with a spy system more elaborate and terrible than the Tsar’s, and an aristocracy as insolent and unfeeling, composed of Americanised Jews. Bertrand Russell, The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, II, 1914–1944 (Boston: Uttle, Brown, 1968), p. 172. The killing of the European Jews was an outgrowth of the fierce hatred of “Judeobolshevism” that allegedly permeated all of German and European “bourgeois” society after 1917.
