Can you help us out by quoting or linking to the archives "what has been said,
on the p-list, about the Holocaust in 1984 and GR?"  I don't remember 1984
being discussed here before P's new intro.  Was he the scholar Doug tried to
enlist to verify his charge that certain P-listers were Holocaust Deniers?
