Under YouTube's new policy, Leni Riefenstahl's 1935 propaganda epic had to go. But the decision raises major questions about history and representation.
Comments
Article gets basic details wrong. Hitler chancellor in '33, Dachau opened soon after. That rally was a year later. Dachau didn't start holding primarily Jews until after Kristallnacht in 1938, and wasn't primarily an execution camp - that was more the case of the Polish camps after the war started. You can criticize Riefenstahl as a complicit liar, but 1935 was early days. Also yes, Stalin killed 20 million+ over several decades but his films won't be banned for some reason.
Anyway, our catalogues will be censored, it seems - how badly is a question. Fahrenheit 451? The US burned Wilhelm Reich's controversial books in the 50's - oddly paralleling the books he had burned in 1940's Germany.
