One thing make me suspicious, why in the world , any body who disagree with it go to jail, ....anyway, jews are not the only ethnecity who suffered from the horror of the war ... many others did but you don't hear about it.
It's very possible that jews had been slained by Hitler , but it's possible also that their number had been far way exaggerated for propaganda purposes.

I can tell you this much
There was never 6 Million Jews living in Germany and Poland before the WW2 , Because the majority fled the 3 countries (Germany+Poland+ Austria and Hungary) after they betrayed the Emperor (of Germany) in WW1.
So logic, and common sense strongly doubt that figure.
So the Holocaust as they portray it NEVER Happened.

No, a lot of people lost their lives, ended their families, and suffered greatly because they were trying to get attention! Yes it's, true, why do people question this awful history?
Nothing against religion, by how it is that some people will so readily believe an old BOOK, just stories on paper, and yet question this much more about recently history?

Yes, it happened. People all over the world didn't want to believe it at first, and didn't find out all there was to know about it until it was uncovered during the last stages of the war. Btw, don't listen to the conspiracy theorists that will try to tell you that it's just a made-up scam. I don't know how people can come to such conclusions after all of the evidence and eyewitness accounts and witnesses.

Just when I thought the questions couldn't possibly get any dumber, you ask one of the most ridiculous questions I've read on this thing so far. Is the world really round? Is the moon really just the sun at night? That's your answer asshole.

yes it is true
name given to the period of persecution and extermination of European Jews by Nazi Germany. Although anti-Semitism in Europe has a long history, persecution of German Jews began with Hitler's rise to power in 1933. Jews were disenfranchised, then terrorized in anti-Jewish riots (such as Kristallnacht), forced into the ghettos, their property seized, and finally were sent to concentration camps. After the outbreak of World War II, Hitler established death camps to secretly implement what he called "the final solution of the Jewish question." Extermination squads were also sent to the fronts: In one operation alone, over 30,000 Jews were killed at Babi Yar, outside Kiev. After 450,000 Jews were sent to death camps from the Warsaw Ghetto, news of their fate led the last 60,000 to rebel (1943), fighting until they were killed, captured, or escaped to join the resistance. The main Jewish resistance was spiritual: observing their religion and refraining from suicide, while Zionists evacuated some to Palestine. By the end of the war 6 million Jews had been systematically murdered. The Allies refused rescue attempts and American Jews were warned against attempting them. While the European churches were silent, some clergy and individual non-Jews saved many. The Danes sent most Danish Jews to Sweden in private boats while under German occupation.
After the war Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes at Nuremburg, and West Germany later adopted (1953) the Federal Compensation Law, under which billions of dollars were paid to those who survived Nazi persecution. In the mid-1990s a number of suits were filed against Swiss banks that held accounts belonging to Holocaust victims but had denied the fact and failed to restore the money. A settlement reached in 1998 established a $1.25 billion fund to be used to compensate those who can document their claims and, more generally, Holocaust survivors, the latter as restitution for undocumented accounts and for Swiss profits on Nazi accounts involving Holocaust victims' property. In 1998 the Roman Catholic Church issued a document acknowledging Catholic complicity in the long-standing European anti-Semitism that was background to the Holocaust. Under the terms of an agreement signed in 2000 by the United States and Germany, a $5 billion fund was established by the German government and German industry to compensate those who were slave or forced laborers or who suffered a variety of other losses under the Nazi regime.
The destruction of European Jewry has demanded a reevaluation by Jews the world over. The renascent Jewish community in the state of Israel, itself largely a byproduct of the Holocaust, now serves as a focal point for much of this energy. A vast literature consisting of histories, diaries, memoirs, poetry, novels, and prayers has emerged in an effort to understand the Holocaust in terms of its religious and secular implications. The secular materials attempt to explain how it happened and the reactions of the victims; some have suggested that an underlying and pervasive anti-Semitism in Germany was fueled by a deep and complete despair combined with a corrosive and unacknowleged sense of worthlessness that had been created by crushing and humiliating hardships and the disintegration of the Weimar Republic. The religious materials focus on the problem of whether one can still speak in traditional Jewish terms of a God, active in history, who rewards the righteous and who maintains a unique relationship with the Jewish people. Museums and memorials have been established in a number of cities worldwide to preserve the memory of the Holocaust.

No, and the Earth is not round, Gravity does not exist, and the Universe is just a figment of our imagination.
