LOS ANGELES - Mel Gibson stirred passions with his blockbuster "Passion of the Christ" and might well again with his latest project _ a nonfiction television movie set against the backdrop of the Holocaust.

For ABC, Gibson's Con Artist Productions is developing "Flory," based on the true-life love story of a Dutch Jew named Flory Van Beek and her non-Jewish boyfriend who sheltered her from the Nazis.

Gibson's involvement in the project has already raised some eyebrows because critics claimed "Passion" contained anti-Semitic elements, a charge Gibson has denied. Gibson's father also is on the record denying that the Holocaust took place.

"For him to be associated with this movie is cause for concern," said Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies in Melrose Park, Pa., and the author of an annual study of Holocaust denial.

"He needs to come clean that he repudiates Holocaust denial, and that he understands the Holocaust was not just another atrocity that occurred in World War II along with other atrocities."

1. He might want to put on the record that he believes the Holocaust

did occur. That may be why he is making the series.

2. But here's the thing

There are Holocaust deniers that say it never happened, and then there are the far more insidious deniers that say it happened--but not in the "millions" range, and it was WWII, there were atrocities happening all over the place and the Holocaust is overblown.

Gibson is the second kind of Holocaust denier.
