history vs mythos

So, you yell at the screen, too, eh? Maybe there's hope for me after all.

An interesting review. I haven't gotten to see the film, so I won't comment on it's particulars. From what you say, it sounds like something that could be on the History channel, its that far off from the facts.

I find most film makers are more concerned with making their own mythos rather than being tied to historical accuracies. The blurring of political and religious pogroms is a common error. But, in some ways it is a fuzzy distinction since political leaders are often religious and religious leaders are often political.

For Neo-Pagan connections to Nazism, check out info on the influence of a German publication called "Ostara" magazine that was published during that time.

Thanks for your post.
