With all due respect, it is a FACT that roughly 6,000,000 Jews and roughly 5,000,000 non-Jews were murdered during the course of the Holocaust. Entire communities have been like out, by the thousands. That is to say, thousands of communities. I have personally met many Holocaust survivors during the course of my life, including some family members. One of my relatives was in the Auschwitz complex of death camps, and he said that it was a death factory. Cattle cars were coming in constantly, and leaving empty, with the occupants of those cars going up in smoke after cremation within 2 to 3 hours of having arrived there. This is a fact, it is not subject to disagreement. The only thing that can be subject to disagreement is a) what to do about rectifying the wrong that was perpetrated, and b) how to prevent another such horrific crime from ever occurring again to any group of people.

In my experience, and I’m 63 so I have a fair amount of it, those who deny either the Holocaust itself, or the scope of it, have an ulterior motive, and in virtually every case, that motive has a lot to do with not liking Jews very much. Now, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but no one is entitled to their own facts. Facts just are, regardless of how many people don’t like those facts.

You know, it is interesting that at the end of the war, General Eisenhower ordered the filming of what was going on in all of the camps that had been liberated by Allied forces, because he knew that “some son of a bitch is someday going to say that this never happened.“ His words, not mine. Well, look at this thread and tell me that Eisenhower wasn’t right.
