NEW YORK Feb. 19 — Days before the release of Mel Gibson's film about the death of Jesus, which some critics say could fuel anti-Semitism, his father has told an interviewer that the Holocaust was mostly "fiction." Steve Feuerstein host of "Speak Your Piece!" said he interviewed Hutton Gibson for a segment of his show to be broadcast Monday by the small Talkline Communications Network.According to a transcript released by the network, Hutton Gibson said, "It's all maybe not all fiction but most of it is," when asked about his views on the Holocaust.
He added: "They claimed that there were 6.2 million (Jews) in Poland before the war and after the war there were 200,000, therefore he (Hitler) must have killed 6 million of them. They simply got up and left. They were all over the Bronx and Brooklyn and Sydney and Los Angeles."
What can I even say to that?
