Works like this do not help the healing process. It matters little if individual cases of this happening are not documented. Those who were around at that sad time will know the strength of feelings and will not doubt the 'myth'. If it is a 'myth? I don't doubt the personal accounts I have read in this thread.

That WAS the feeling. However it came into being, it was a truth. Documents will not make it truer. Lack of documents will not make it untrue. The book will not change that feeling or make it untrue. Nit-Picking books like these will sell and their 'sensational' revelations will appear in the media. They serve little good purpose, other than to raise the profile of the author.

In the recent libel trail, in London of David Irving (that he lost), one of his claims was/is, that there was no document that demonstrated that Hitler directly ordered the holocaust.

No one is suggesting that Hitler was not in total charge of his country at that time, or that the events (generally) happened. Do we need such a document to exist to make the events truer?
