Why whenever someone even slightly questions the facts concerning the jewish holocaust, there is a unleashing?

Question

It is like BIG TIME THOUGHT CRIME!

Answer 1

Probably because those doing the questioning seem to want to deny it ever happened or deny its impact. Such questioning is seen as an insult by those that survived it and insulting to the memory of those that died in it

Answer 2

Whenever people question the Holocaust, they typically question whether or not the whole thing occurred, when it very obviously did. It's really kind of hard to explain upwards of 8 million dead people when you say that the Holocaust didn't happen. There were survivors and there were people who saw the camps--the Holocaust happened, and there's no doubt about it. People make mistakes, and that was a really big one. Even if people just question the circumstances surrounding it, it's a touchy subject. People don't like to talk about mass genocide and don't want to rehash old wounds, so many would rather not talk about it. Perhaps if the question was a good one and was asked respectfully, there wouldn't be a problem.

Answer 3

There are two basic reasons. One, it is because the holocaust was such a shocking episode in history because of the numbers that we do know about and the reasons behind it. People are naturally so discusted with the whole affair that they, as humans often do, mistake any questioning for defence of the deed. Also there are many neo nazi organisations and others who are either trying to deny it, minimise it, justify it or glorify it. Nazism did have great appeal to the German people and it could still have appeal today. But the one thing that stands in it's way is the holaucast. It is the black mark that exposes the politics of nazism. People are afraid of a revival or attempted revival.
The other reason is because there are so many politically correct people and other interested parties who either have and intolerant philosophy as far as critisism and opponents or either fear irrationally a revival or anything they think smacks of one or want to have it show up and not questioned because of their leanings. There people will bagger a person who mearly questions various aspects of it. Including numbers.
Now, I have been told of a 1960s Guiness Book of Records which listed the number of Jews killed at 2,000,000 instead of the commonly thought 6,000,000. Now of course 2 million is a pretty lot and the deed was horrible. But it is interesting to note that that figure has not been quoted by them again. Either it has been disproved, and we would have had mention of it in subsequent editions, or there was pressure to bear upon them. How they got the figure, I do not know. But if there was pressure to bear, then this is against all the allies fought for in World War II.
For it is no use if you get rid of one tyranny only to replace it by another. And the freedoms and truths you fought for are betrayed. The tyranny is still tyranny-only the clothes and colours have been changed. The people who unlease should concentrate more on disernment and explaination of the facts. For when they do not they do two things. One, they create the very tyranny that has been ended in 1945. Only with a different face. Two, they give the nazis the status of maytars and give them some hook of justification to grasp on to . This we must not give them. We fought a bloody and desperate six year war to rid the world of such bastards. We do not want them to grasp the hair of recovery to make a comeback. We want them to fall into the pit without any hope of rescue and without any justifications to cover or mask or justify or use smoke and mirrors their evil deeds of infamy. To those who manifest intolerance-We just buried the monster, don't let it out of the pit-don't lower so much as a string to give it hope or reason to exsist. You lot should be last people on the earth to want it back . Then do the two things that will keep it under. PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE TODAY AND DON'T GIVE THE SONS OF B*****S ONE SOLITARY CHANCE IN ETERNITY. People fought, suffered and died-let them keep what they fought suffered and died for.

Answer 4

Pardon me??What? What is a thought crime? Is that investigated by the Thought Police? Psycops? Why do you question the Jewish Holocaust? There are survivors. There are photographs taken by liberating allied soldiers. There are still some of the buildings which were used. Do you also question man landing on the moon?

Answer 5

Questioning is not a bad thing nor should it be. However, one should be careful how one asks the question.be aware of where the question is coming from and what kind of documentation there is to support your question. We have hard core facts that are documented, the Nazis where big time paper trailers.
Topics such as the holocaust are sensitive. People are very defencive when it comes to things like this that have happened in the past especially if it's part of their heritage. Tred carefully.

Answer 6

Because questioning an undeniable fact of history changes our own perception of who we are. And because it is plain stupid - like as if somebody is looking you into the eye and questioning whether you were born at all.
In history fact is often confused with interpretation. Interpretation you can question - it even is quite healthy to question interpretations. But facts are only facts if they are proved beyond doubt, so they can't be questioned.
Holocaust is a fact and we can only learn from it, trying to act in such a way that it would never ever happen again anywhere on Earth.
And this goes for all of us - those who suffered it, those who caused it and those who witnessed it or heard about it...

Answer 7

Because denying this fact is an insult on the Jewish ethnia.

It would be like saying that Blacks never suffered slavery in the USA and that its only a myth that African Americans made up because they need social understanding, but its all a lie.

Can you imagine what would happen if some US politician said this?
Do you imagine the "unleashing"?

Get it?

Answer 8

I agree with Randal Z. Don't you know that there are millions of people still around who lived during the war, saw the terrible pictures at the time. What about the troops who liberated places like Belsen? Would you like all these people, including survivors of the Aushwitz etc, to be lying just to appease some crack brained conspiracy theory that no rational person would ever entertain? The facts are all there if you are interested to read and learn about them.

Answer 9

Whenever you deny that a traumatic event has taken place, be ready to hear howls of outrage. Not everyone will react in this way - some people are so traumatized by rape, murder and so forth that they can't even speak. When you tell an entire people that their trauma is false, you sound like a vicious liar. This is a very hot button issue.

Answer 10

The holocaust happened, there are too many people alive who lived through it and there are too many people dead because of it. To question this fact is an insult to humanity.
