Why if anybody disagree with holocaust go to jail?

Answer 1

It is a crime in Germany to deny the Holocaust, but I don't believe that is the case anywhere else.

The primary reason overall is that too many misguided persons want to rewrite history and, as Kierkegaard said, "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it."

Answer 2

You should ask.. "hy is it that if someone disagrees with the holocaust they go to jail?"

But anyways the only country I know of where it is illegal to question the Holocaust is Germany. And they did this for a few reasons...

1) It was the country that commited the genocide
2) They denied the holocaust for many years after that.
3) They do not want the same thing to happen again.. and if you deny history then you are more apt to repeat it.

Answer 3

That the Holocaust happened is a fact. In Germany, because of the disasters that the Nazi's brought upon Germany, people who try to deny that there was a Holocaust are seen as subversive Nazi sympathizers who would lead the people not only astray, but back to the very same things that produced the Holocaust.

There was a Holocaust. People in great numbers were in fact rounded up, stuffed into railroad cars, and taken to camps where they were worked to death or gassed and burned. Denial of the facts is not just stupid. It is one of the grossest signs of anti-Semitism.

Answer 4

don't understand the question?

Do you mean, today? If you disagreed (did not believe) that the holocaust happend you'd go to jail????

Or when it was happening (during the war)?

Please re-submit question in a weay we can answer or address the issue.

TODAY, to my knowledge, no 'history revisionist' is being sent to jail because they don't agree or 'believe' that the holocaust happened. On the contrary, they are paid money for including in the history books, get interviews......

So you see, you need to put your ??? in 'time context' - 're-submit'

Answer 5

Well I'm not sure I'm completely up to date on my history but it has to do with the Allied occupation of Germany after WWII. We pretty much set up the German government and instituted laws such as this so that another regime like Hitler and his Nazis would never again come to power. We did the same thing in Japan by making them sign an agreement not to possess an army with any great offensive capability.

Answer 6

I think you're asking why it is against the law to say that the holocaust never happened. That's true in some countries in Europe (notably Germany).

They are over-compensating for the horrendous atrocities that took place on their soil, IMHO.

Answer 7

That is a law in some European countries, but not here in the U.S. After you master english, you should move here and then you can deny the holocaust happened if you want.

Answer 8

Not in this country they don't.

By the way, how can anyone disagree with thousands of eyewitnesses, photographs, and video footage? Did the Jews starve themselves and tattoo numbers on themselves?

Answer 9

English!!!!

idiot...
