Did it happen?

Yznhymr · 05-08-2009, 04:07 PM

Okay, an article about Facebook has made me wonder what people really think. Of course, I wished I had a better imagination for a more complete polling list.

Another reason I'm glad that I don't participate.

i don't imagine it likely that "They" would have gotten thousands of people to tell the same lie without at least a few sooner or later saying "hey btw, those concentration camps i said i saw when i liberated poland? big fat lie".

Grandpa said it was real. Good enough for me. (Doesn't hurt that a lot of other men I met said the same thing.)

I've never understood the rationale behind people who deny it. I mean, they're always the same people who will openly say it would have been a good thing if it did happen, so why wouldn't they just trumpet it as a big achievement? And if it didn't happen, doesn't that kind of mean Hitler was a failure at what he was trying to do?

I knew from the title of the thread this would be either about the holocaust or the moon landing.

Despite all the credible documentation,dead people, and survivors; people are stupid enough to even ask.

My adopted grandparents had numbers tattooed on their forearms; I believe them.

The only thing I quibble about is when people say that 6 million were killed.
According to various sources I have seen, 14 Million were killed. 6 million were Jewish, 8 million were not Jewish. Millions of (catholic) Poles, millions of (Orthodox) Russians, Hungarians, Gypsies, and many nen-Jewish Germans: political enemies, homosoexuals, the disabled, etc.
Hence I object to the term the (Jewish) Holocaust. We should say, the Nazi Genocide.
Mind you, I object even more to people who say it never happened. The evidence seems pretty damn overwhelming.

We now return you to your scheduled programming.
