so I have a very personal connection to that particular horror...when I read "opposing perspective" my immediate thought was not denying the existence of the Holocaust but justifying the Holocaust..and what I found especially insulting was Ledbetter's incredibly stupid apology... she referred to the Holocaust as a "terrible event"...a ten car pile-up on an icy highway is a terrible event..the Holocaust was an unimaginable atrocity...
