Title
I would like to hear what is wrong with title Holocaust trials in Soviet Estonia, 1961. Please no blanket statements about holocaust denial. Trial was took place in Soviet Estonia and it was about Holocaust. "War Crimes" can include many other things and do not even need to be connected to WW II.--Staberinde 13:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- The crimes were not commited in "Soviet occupied Estonia"
- The word "holocaust" was unknown in 1961
- the word "war crimes" is used for most, if not all related trials.
- Now for the "blanket statement":
- The attempt to change the name is yet another example of Estonian Holocaust denial. The emphasis in on the word "Soviet" as if to point out that:
- Soviets had no authority to try the "claimed" war criminals
- The trials had no international recognition
- They were most likely show trials
- Futhermore the intent here is the infer, that as the trials were null and void the accused must in fact have been innocent.
- None of these assuptions have any support in the sources. -- Petri Krohn 13:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
