I was very surprised upon reading the holocaust that a total of 26 million people were killed. Yet, I thought that the holocaust was only 6million jews only..Yet there are 20 million who were killed besides the jews, so why is it associated only as a jewish genocide? It included homosexuals, disabled, poles, russian prisoners, etc. So maybe the holocaust, as only a genocide crime only against the jews is flawed. It seems it was a larger scale genocide with jews only as one category in the general populace of the concentration camps. Furthermore,were there concentration camps that only involved jews? Please let me know I am interested in this subject.

Its is kind of ridiculous..There is insurmountable evidence to the otherwise. However, is it true that jews tricked other fellow jews into the gas chambers in order to save their own lives? was that why it was so repulsive? I read that that was one of the points of the conference. I never heard of that. But upon further study, it seems that it is true--that most of the people that operated the daily functions of the concentrations camps to kill and belie jews, were germans jews doing it out of fear of the nazi germans.

However, this scenario is quite disturbing and disgusting---it is repulsive beyond beleif---that a people would trick their own, for themselves--and why would the germans set it up like that?

my question is, if this is true, then who implemented this? the germans, or jews who catered to the germans to get out of there, and volunteered to kill their own? This is my question.

This isnt a question about religion, it more of a question of is the Bible a scitificly and historically accurate document. Ive asked this a few times and ever time I get a Christian who comes on and rants about how of course the Bible is accurate and how divine ti is. And then I get a few athiests who come on and rant about how nothing about the bible is true and how hipocritical and the bible is and how no intelligent person would take it seriously. THIS IS WHAT I DONT WANT. Im not look for accuracy from a religious stand point, im looking at accuracy from a historical standpoint. Is the bible really a good source of historical events that actually happend. More specifically the New Testament, its kinda hard to talk about historical accuracy with the fall of man in the begining.

Sure freedom of speech - go ahead and tell lies that are not based on fact and have no foundation beneath them other than extremism and pure hatred. How can any one deny the holocaust? That's like saying the sun did not exist because I personally didn't see it yesterday. It's like denying that there was air to breathe 60 years ago. Don't you think this is absolute nonsense? Where is their evidence - they aren't giving any - it's all RHETORIC isn't it? Where in the bible does it say that Israel will cease to exist - on the contrary - the bible says the Jews are God's chosen people - it predicted that Israel would become a nation - if you read the bible - you'll find that Israel is protected chosen and cannot be destroyed - that's the whole reason why Hitler failed - with all that they went through - it was a miracle. And okay -so why would Iran say that they are going to be obliterated? They are such a small country and Jews are everywhere - would return if they destroyed Israel now.
