Why does everbody attack you so badly if you question the holocaust?

Question

I mean, I have my own brain , so I like to question things. I was just concerned about getting banned from Yahoo answers if you commit this heinous "thought crime".

Answer 1

Why would you question it when evidence overwhelming supports that it happened and there are still people alive who experienced it?

Answer 2

Its not committing thought crime. However the sort of people who deny the holocaust are usually neo nazis thamselves or are silly little people hiding behind a computer trying sound controversial.

Use your brain and look at the facts.

Fact 1.Hitler and the rest of the Nazis persecuted Jews in the years running up to world war two..

Fact 2. "Kristallnacht". This was the night when the SA , SS and quite a few ordinary Germans went around smashing windows and vandalising Jewish businesses.

Fact 3. Just before and during the war Jewish people were rounded up and put into places called "Ghettos". Which were effectively overcrowded sub-slum housing.

Fact 4. Said people had their possesions and businesses taken away from them. The Germans never made a secret of it and there are numerous official documents to prove it.

Fact 5. The Jewish population of Europe in 1946 was virtually non-existant when compared to the numbers of 1939.

Fact 6. There is photographic and cinematic evidence of concentration camps.

Fact 7 You have the eyewitnesses of the survivors and the the soldiers who discovered what had been going on. Are we going to call them ALL liars??

Fact 8 Hardened Russian soldiers who had seen the worst of the fighting of the entire war, were driven mad by what the saw when liberating places such as Auschwitz. Many were shot because they became unfit for duty.

Fact 9 The nazis also used disabled people and jews to conduct medical experiments. The data from this was used to create many modern medicines.

Fact 10. Stolen Jewish property is STILL turing up in swiss banks over 60 years since the war ended.

Fact 11. Snowfall near Auscwitz in the winter of 1943 turned out to be ash.

People attack holocaust doubters because they either so unbelievably stupid as to deny what their forefathers fought and died for or they are right wingers themselves with their own agenda. Think about it. Do we deny that the British slaughtered thousands in South Africa. No. Do we deny that Mao tse tung and Josef Stalin murdered by the million. No. Do we deny that thousands are being killed in Darfur as we speak. No.

The reason we have holocaust doubters is because the politics are still "fashionable" to some.

Answer 3

well it was a bad time for everybody . But i also ask my questions I have about it too . And i tell the peoploe not to get offended because i did not live in that time and to be open about it . Most info you will get from the elder people.Everybody has the right to ask questions about the Holocaust . That's the only way to understand it all the right way . If people here question that ,then they are not informed them selfes well either.Because everybody will have their own opinions about it . Good or bad

Answer 4

I don't get offended by questions about the Holocaust, even though I am German myself. So I can only speak in general, but for a lot of Germans in particular this is a piece of history that they are not proud of at all, so they don't like talking about it. People in genereal have VERY strong opinions concerning the Holocaust because it was such a horrific thing that happened, so if you question whether or not the Holocaust actually took place, then you step on a lot of people's toes because they feel so strongly about what happened.

Answer 5

We have to be able to question ANYTHING. Even if 99.99999% disagree with you, you should still have that right to question.
The problem isn't with people who question things because they are seeking the truth and information, the problem is with people who deny something despite overwhelming evidence. People use denial for their own agenda in this case to try and discredit and create hatred towards Jews.
However, even in this situation you should still be able to ask questions and be provided with facts and figures and not banned or persecuted.
Remember, if some religions had their way they would persecute you for trying to question their beliefs, they obviously do this to keep people 'in line' and are afraid of them thinking for themselves.

If you have nothing to fear, fear no question.

Answer 6

Because 12,000,000 (12 million) people died as a result of World War 2 and the German Death Camps, and that's a little more than can be denied away. To do so makes you an IDI*T in the EXTREME. It IS as you say, a thought crime, simply because on some level, stupidity and ignorance SHOULD BE PAINFUL! At least in a perfect world it would be.

Answer 7

millions of Jewish people were ethnically cleansed by the Nazi war machine, however and having said that so were millions of polish, Gypsies, and Russian Jewish/gypsies etc. in fact millions of people period were killed during WWII so the basis of the argument is not so much the Jewish communities of Europe were not decimated it is that why focus on 6 million deaths without taking into account the 50 million other humans that died or something along that line.
why did Hitler (who I believe was Jewish or part) and the Nazi party as well as subsequent many ordinary Germans feel so threatened by the Jewish community. Define Jewish community ? remember Judaism is a religion not race ???????? look for the history of Europe pre WWI and II in perspective of Jewish people and it becomes much more clear.
per:I.W.

Answer 8

Maybe its not the question itself, but the way you word it? It is a very emotive issue and millions of innocent people lost their lives, because of one man's idea of what was perfect and was was not.
I suggest if you want to question it, use the internet and do some research, you might be horrified at the crimes one man can commit against the other in the name of war.

Answer 9

Because not only is there overwhelming evidence to support it. Germany is one of the countries that it is illegal to deny it, don't you think they would yell if it wasn't true? My grandfather was there in WWII, he saw the camps himself. Plus not only is there the fact that 6 million Jews were killed in the camps,but also millions of Poles, Russians, and Germans that spoke against the Nazi regime, also blacks and people with disabilities that might degrade the purity of the Aryan bloodline for the future of the master race. Millions of families of those that died are offended by the fact that some are trying to deny those deaths

Answer 10

Six million people, almost all of one religion, reportedly were killed in a ruthless, systematic way. Surely you can see how this would arouse emotions, even 60 years later. The evidence that this occurred is overwhelming and undeniable, ranging from photographs, first-person testimony, German documents, American documents, Russian documents, etc. Folks don't take kindly to people who want to pretend that "it didn't happen".

Answer 11

Because there is simply too much evidence that it happened. It's like questioning the existence of cheese.

I do wonder if they would do the same thing if the Removal (Trail of Tears) was questioned, though.
