The same way you and many others do not believe there has all ready been a holocaust in this country (I mean other then what we did to the native Americans) take a look at Johnson s Island (northern Ohio); Camp Douglas (Chicago); and Elmira (New York).
The official U.S. position on the treatment of Confederate prisoners of war during The War for Southern Independence would shock many modern Americans. The data, facts and statistics have been thoroughly eliminated from American history books. One must research the original documents to discover the horrible truth.
During the Civil War (1861-1865), the U.S. House of Representatives passed the following resolution: "Rebel prisoners in our hands are to be subjected to a treatment finding its parallels only in the conduct of savage tribes and resulting in the death of multitudes by the slow but designed process of starvation and by mortal diseases occasioned by insufficient and unhealthy food and wanton exposure of their persons."
One Yankee prison commander boasted that he had killed more Confederate soldiers than any Union officer on the front battle lines.
The story of Confederate prison camps, especially Andersonville, has been misrepresented. There was no deliberate attempt to mistreat northern POWs. The South asked the North to send doctors and medicine, and they tried to exchange the prisoners.
The North refused and finally the Confederacy offered the North cotton and gold as payment to take them without exchange. Again, the North refused to do so. They knew the Confederate States of America would be honor bound to try to feed and house the Union POWs and to do so would hamper the Confederate war effort.
God Bless You and Our Southern People.

How can anyone believe the CIA or the mafia killed Kennedy? George Bush caused 9/11? Answer these questions and you'll know why people deny the holocaust.
People question the Holocaust as it is used as a tool of extortion. To wring money out of this company or country and the Israelis use it as a tool to oppress the Palestinians.

They are taught to hate the Jewish people. From that they also believe the Holocaust never happened it was just a way to get sympathy.

I believe that there are people who literally can't handle the notion of what happened; they can't conceive that this was possible because it's scary. If it could happen to one group, perhaps down deep, they fear it could happen to them. Rather than accept the fact that there are dangers in the real world, they "create" their own reality where they feel safe, and the holocaust doesn't fit into that world, so they deny it.

I've often wondered the same thing myself. I suppose there are those who choose to deny. I am Catholic. During the construction of the Jewish heritage Museum in New York I had the opportunity to see the displays, presentations and photos. It is unlikely that I would have visited the museum otherwise. I am appalled at what I saw. I WISH it never happened but NOBODY can deny that it did.

I really don't know. But even the Allied forces during WWII thought that people would not believe them when they explained what happened in Germany and Poland which is specifically why the Allied troops documented (both with film and photographs) everything that they did. They thought that people would not believe it unless they saw it.

History writers have their flaws and politicians have their agendas. Simple. Live for now and stop balking over the past. Correct the present and future will take care of itself

Now that ought to scare the living crap out of you, considering the topic at hand.

It did happen, just that some people want to divert attension to something else in order to push their personal agender.
