Richard Widmann
here tries to spin a conspiracy around the involvement of Homeland Security in locating the Rosenberg diaries. He says:
it is certainly surprising, to me at least, that ICE and Homeland Security spend their time looking for lost documents from the Second World War
However, as can be seen
here, a simple Google search would have told him that Homeland Security investigates stolen cultural artifacts, and the diaries clearly qualified as stolen:
At the conclusion of the Nuremberg Trials, Kempner returned to the
United States and lived in Lansdowne, Pa. Contrary to law and proper
procedure, Kempner removed various documents, including the Rosenberg
Diary, from U.S. government facilities in Nuremberg and retained them
until his death in 1993.
HSI investigation
In November 2012, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of
Delaware and HSI special agents received information from an art
security specialist, who was working with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Museum, regarding the search for Rosenberg Diary. The Rosenberg Diary
was subsequently located and seized pursuant to a warrant issued by the
U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
HSI plays a leading role in criminal investigations that involve the
illegal importation and distribution of cultural property, including the
illicit trafficking of cultural property, especially objects that have
been reported lost or stolen. The HSI Office of International Affairs,
through its 75 attaché offices in 48 countries, works closely with
foreign governments to conduct joint investigations, when possible.
Should we expect deniers to check such facts before jumping to paranoid conclusions?
