The original Hogan's Heroes featured a cast with a number of Jews who were in the camps. Watch the show and watch interviews with the cast and not one of them mention anything about extermination or gas chambers or anything.
People born after, I don't know 1965 or so, look at Hogan's Heroes and say "what the fuck were they thinking making a sitcom about Nazi death camps? Wasn't there a huge outcry?" The answer from the older folks "We didn't know at the time." Nobody knew anything about people being exterminated in these camps? Then how do we know now? This could be a soft-handed introductiom to the truth about the holohoax.
True. There are a lot of vectors into dispelling the myth, but people have to be open to it, and it's usually better handled in one on one conversation in order to ease people into the subject without triggering the ausistic screeching brought on by decades of brainwashing.
Back to the show though, the bios of the Jewish cast are pretty interesting. Even though obviously most of us here are opposed to the Allied cause, the stories from the cast make for good reading/watching. My favorite is John Banner insisting that Schultz be a typical German conscript who was just in it for a paycheck and didn't really want to be a part of the politics behind the war.
