Holocaust real or story?

Answer 1

my grandfather served in Europe during WWII. he was part of the liberation of Dachau. he told me that you could smell the odor of burning flesh from miles away. he saw the ovens. he saw the surviving victims starved within an inch of their lives. so starved that a normal meal would kill them. they took German soldiers (including officers) into custody. they described what their duties were. it was absolutely horrific. my grandfather is neither a liar, nor a senile old man telling tales. these things happened. anyone who says they didnt is either deluded or diseased.

Answer 2

I am assuming that you only want the opinions of people and are not actually wondering for yourself, so here is mine...

The Holocaust was real. My friend often uses the expression "duh". I do not use such terminology myself, but it would be apt at this particular moment. It is an actual event with hundreds of documented records. The Germans really shot themselves in the foot with those. But saying it is not a crime for people to believe otherwise is awful.

Let’s say North Korea gets ticked and decided to invade South Korea and capture all the US troops. They kill them all, in horrible ways, and document the entire process. Then, 60 years from now, our kids, now fully competent adults, decide that they want to believe that this did not really happen. Granted, that would be on a much smaller scale, but that would not make it any less real. The people of our generation would be dying out, and no one left to say "hey, I was there and I remember!"

So yes it is a crime to believe that the Holocaust was a story, and it was REAL.

Answer 3

Real how do you explain the countless lives that were lost during the event? How do you explain all the detailed description of the ordeal given by countless survivors? People that think the holocaust was a story were either brainwashed, ignorant, or hypcrites. Otherwise it makes no sense why someone would think its not true.

Answer 4

Look on the internet, look in your local library at the hundreds of books available, read all the first-hand horror stories by survivors. The Holocaust was real, it genuinely happened, it was appalling, disgusting and despicable and nobody should be allowed to forget it.

Answer 5

The Holocaust is very real, not a story, not a myth, not folklore.
Thousands upon thousands of innocent people died due to one mentally ill mans thought of their not belonging on this earth.
He did terrible things to those people, all because he thought they shouldn't exist.
There are documentaries available for you to watch & learn about the travisty pleaged by that nasty man. Avalable at your local libary or video store.
Hope this helps.

Answer 6

The "Holocaust"as you put it most assuredly did occur re.The word holocaust,though is used to describe a religious sacrifice as in 'burnt offerings'.This was not the abomination visited upon the Jews,and other unacceptable races to the Nazis'.

Answer 7

There are still some survivors around today, people who were taken to the camps as children. With the Internet available, it shouldnt be too terribly hard to find someone to ask about it who was there. I know a rabbi who has talked with hundreds of them to try and get the last stories from those who lived through it.

Answer 8

The Holocaust really happened. It was not a PR move, nor was it a scam. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives because of the madness and hatred of one man and the world who tried to ignore him.

Answer 9

Depends. If you're an even remotely worthwhile human being, you're able to assess the data available and see that it was a disgustingly real event.

If your one of many less mentally-endowed individuals that are trying to justify some ill-begotten dislike for a group of persons targeted for extermination by the failed Nazi regime, then you probably swear it's some elaborate hoax.

If you're the former, thank you for renewing my faith in mankind. If you're the latter, then you strengthen my belief that some people would be better off eaten by sorely missed natural predators who should have culled you from the herd of human existence several generations ago.

Answer 10

Go to the library, ask for any and all information on the subject,
you'll probably be there all day. Of course it is real. However, though it was a horrible nightmare, not "all" of it was documented,
but the survivors can tell you some of what happened to most or all of their relatives....it is so very sad, and Hitler was so very sick in that pea brain of his. It doesn't matter what race a person is, they don't deserve that horrible treatment, ever!
