    A superb documentary that should be seen more often
    I have seen "Evil in Clear River" and was shocked when the documentary pointed out that people have actually been taught, in public schools, that the Holocaust never took place; that, in fact, according to such teachers, Hitler was "oppressed" by the Jews and had no choice but to try and eliminate them. These "revisionist historians" try to make the claim that Communism and Judaism are allied, which is total nonsense. The movie is gripping and quite suspenseful and is based on a TRUE story which occurred in the 1980s in Canada. I recommend that this documentary be shown more often.
