...show's sponsors, the American Gas Association, made sure the word "gas" was bleeped out of all references to the Nazi death chambers. We've come a long way since then. For one thing, after another 40 years of Nazi-era dramas, documentaries on the Holocaust, debates over the responsibility of the German people, and "Schindler's List," there's not much about the tragedy that can shock us anew. Or is there...
...Judgment at Nuremberg" has just opened on Broadway (for the first time, believe it or not), and it's one of a rash of Holocaust-related dramas filling stages in New York City and around the country. The Center Stage in Baltimore recently completed the first major U.S. revival of "The Investigation," Peter Weiss's 1965 play drawn entirely from transcripts of the Frankfurt trials of those who helped run the Auschwitz death camp. Arje Shaw's "The Gathering," about the conflict between a Holocaust survivor (Hal Linden) and his son, will arrive on Broadway in April. And off-Broadway...
...these images of a kind of animal holocaust have generated a lot of unease.

Owner of a leather goods shop in Beverly Hills after the war, Page spent 40 years badgering writers to take up Schindler's story, finally succeeding when Australian author Thomas Keneally came into the store to buy a briefcase...
...Even more troubling, "Mein Kampf" and the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" remain as bestsellers, and denial of the holocaust continues in materials distributed by the Palestinian Authority. Blatant incitement of the population is not uncommon. For instance, Ahmad Abu Halabiya, a member of the Palestinian Authority's appointed Fatwa Council, proclaimed live on Palestinian TV, "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them." Had an Israeli official uttered such an outrageous provocation against Arabs, the uproar by the U.N. and world...
