Jonah Goldberg is propagating myths today.

We've seen bulldozers scooping corpses; we've seen soap made from human beings...

But I do agree with the basic rationale for reminding people of the horrors of the Holocaust; those things not actively remembered are easily forgotten. This is especially true of the moral lessons of history because there are people intensely interested in rewriting the moral history of America so that we are always the villains of the tale.

The problem, Mr. Goldberg, is that falsehoods - actively remembered - are not easily forgotten. Myths about the treatment of the Jews are propagated by the Jews to help ensure that Israel has free reign to treat her enemies as she pleases. Nothing that Israel could ever do to the Palestinians or any other enemy could ever possibly be as horrible as what they, as a people, went through when they were made into soap. BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED!
