was the holocaust real or a big lie? what are proofs?

Answer 1

There have been many people, some intelligent and some not, who claim that the Holocaust was indeed a myth that was created to cause sympathy for Zionists and hopefully establish a Jewish nation.

Although I believe it is real...countless books, archival film footage, and first hand accouts have convinced that it did indeed happen, the whole argument of whether it did or didn't is interesting.

I guess that it all goes back to the question of "Who makes history?"

I once read a book and the premise was that everything we know, including all technology, science and history could be false. Maybe a Divine being made every single person in the world yesterday and implanted every memory and every fact we know. Therefore the hundreds of thousands of year that we believe men have been roaming the earth is a lie.

If this hypothesis was applied to our view of history, how do we not know that history wasn't completely and arbitrarily made up?
There is no body alive from 1776 to verfiy any thing about the Amercian War of INdependence yet we believe it happened because of primary source documents. Could it be possible that those documents were written in 1776 but none of the things that they describe actually happened? Could every person that lived through the HOlocaust be in on the biggest lie in history? Possibly, but doubtful.

For me, believing history is like believing in God. It is an act of faith. You cannot actually prove it (unless you invent a way to time travel) but you have to believe it is true, and you use the best available evidence on which to base your faith. So...yeah, I believe the Holocaust happened because of people i've spoken with, articles and books I've read, and film i've seen. And I also believe that dinosaurs existed because of archaeologists books and bones i've seen in museums...but I've never seen a dinosaur.


I hope this is helpful and not too confusing,,,I ramble sometimes

Answer 2

The holocaust become genuine. Jews do not lie about it. surely, the information of ways many killed, the position and what techniques were kept by using the nazi's themselves. those who search for to disclaim the holocaust have an agenda. besides it become not in simple terms Jews that were killed. Gypsies, communists, Jehovahs Witnesses etc were all aims yet by some skill they don't seem accused of mendacity. purely the Jews are accused of that. The holocaust befell. The nazi's kept information both written and photographic. The allies, upon liberating the camps, took the information, made of their own, written, photographic and video and compelled the Germans interior the cities the position the camps were placed to witness the camps. Nazi's who were tried did not deny the holocaust yet tried in simple terms to assert they were not accountable on an a own factor. even if people hate Jews and picture we are liars (we are not) there would nonetheless be evidence of the holocaust so the full "holocaust turned right into a hoax" situation is truly previous absurd

Answer 3

The biggest "proof" is the Nazis themselves. NONE of the defendants at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials EVER denied that extermination of the Jews and other undesirables occured. IF you bother to read the transcripts, no defendant used the "Allied Propaganda" defense, which is what Holocaust deniers try to say today.
What the defendants did say, was "I was under orders", basing their defense on the Fueher Prinzip, or the idea that the guy at the top accepts responsbility.
The KLs also had extensive records of inmates and their executions. I know because I've seen some of those records up close and personal.

Answer 4

yes, you should take some history books and learn more about European history because it's a shame to ask such a question...

... or at least search on-line for more information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust
http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/
http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/timeline.html

... or read novels based on the facts, or written by survivors:
Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl
Nyiszli, Miklos: Auschwitz : A Doctor's Eyewitness Account
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_%28resources%29

Answer 5

You need to read a book.... any book. There is film footage of mass burials of Jews available if you would consider that proof. What other historical events don't you believe? The Civil War? The American Revolution? The Lunar landing?

Answer 6

Which Holocast???

If there is some good in everything that the God has created, then the good that has come from the Holocast of the Euro Jews is that there is filmed record of the event, & survivors, which has has for me helped tonot only relate it to other similar events, but also understand the reality of the oxymoron of Human cruelty, and the importance of being vigilent, of not being a co-conspirator in such cruelties. Never again, No more to No one, No way, No how, should be the way we live.

Ask an European Jew, Roma, Native Amer.,Comanche Aztec, , African/African American, Ishmaelite,... Zulus, Bushmen, Ruwandan... Vietnims, Laotin, Cambodian Mong....If they believe there was a holocast?

The holocast in the Serbia took place at the same time the U.S. citizens were being distracted by "Desert Storm."

Ask the Vatican how they cam into their gold? Ask De Beers group the history of fom where ther diamond come? Ask Goodyear about their rubber, Alcoa about aluminum....

Some of the rationally under-develpoed Humans set upon other Humans. Sadly most Human "ethnic groups are equally reprsented as victims and victimmizers. i

In many cases it happens among sub-groups within a larger group. As the saying goes: "You Always Hurt, the One You Love."Why did Cain Kill? Because wasn't Able!"

Media focus and influence targets both content and audience.
The European Jews suffered the same fate as Roma People (Gypsies). Mentally & physically indigent people were the first group that was targetted. Stalin also execised similar measures against European Jews. Contrary to uninformed belief the Euro Jews taken were the common folk, not the very well to do. The same methods used in the USA to set the mental/emotional stage against Native Amer. and African Amer. and today Muslims, and those of "middle eastern extraaction stero-type," were used against Euro.Jews and Roma

The holocast of the Native Americans in North Amer. and South Amer. and Africans started the 15th century and continues with little concern till this very day.

USA has had a relatively sucsessful eugenics programs, from which I under stand Hitlers group might have taken its cues. Consider that the indigenous Humans had there land with resources stolen, men, women, and children; raped maimed, murdered, and traumatized. Their own lands reallocated to them to land masses totalling less than the land mass of the entire 13 colonies. This holocast began near 500 yeas ago and continues today. It began with the colonial superpowers of that time and has changed hands dependent on the agreements or disagreements of those superpowers. The decendents of some of the Native Americans are mis labled as Hispanics and at controversy with the governing system that stole the land of their ancestors. Some of the descendents of the original landlords cannot come and go as they please to the same property the same goverment stole. Some of the landlords have the honor of picnic and recreation sites named for the massacre of their ancestors. Their ancsetors have been maligned in books, movies, TV Shows, and cartoons. "Scalping" has been attributed to this people, who in fact scalped by Amer.colonialist, who did it as proof to collect reward.

The Conquistadores were exterminators. In 25 yeas they exterminated near 23 million Native Amer. Today the survivors of their descendents speak the language of their colonizer, adopted their religion, and where their surnames with pride.

In there 19th century certain groups in the USA which became singled out, labled inferior, and sterilized one of these groups was a nomadic people called Ismaelites. (See Link).

The experiments of Migram and others done in the 1950's and 1960's show that Americans can readily be victimizers of others and another Holocast take place.

Stay tuned....

Answer 7

It was real. Our history is littered with events like Hitler's attempted destruction of the Jewish people. Dig a bit deeper and you'll find that we can treat each other very badly. Hopefully some day we can find a way to treat others the way we would like to be treated.

Take a look at the Spanish Civil War, or any Civil War for that matter.

Answer 8

Nuremburg prosecutors produced several train car loads of evidence, including film and documents. The most incriminating evidence came from the Nazis themselves, who kept meticilous records of the numbers killed.

The Auswitz-Berkinau complex at its peak was killing 2,600 per day via gassing. One striking document that i found intrigueing was the bill of lading from IG Farben to the SS for 4-1/2 tons of Zyclon-B per month. The directors of the drug conglomerate were squirming on the stand over these documents.

Answer 9

Proofs? Proofs huh?
Well you are living at a time when there are still people living that went through that hell, so you ask them. There are video archives if you don't know any.
They idea someone, anyone could INVENT something like this is beyond ridiculous!

Answer 10

It was very real.
I have been to 2 camps and I had a family friend who was a Polish peasant - not Jewish - when the Nazis invaded.
He had nothing to gain by lying or exaggerating when he told us what he saw and experienced.
It was all too real when he rolled up his sleeve at dinner one night and showed us the tattooed number on his forearm.
