What do you think about the Holocaust?

Question

I've been studying the Holocaust & just saw a move, and I was very . . . I dont know what the word is but what I mean to say is that I almost wanted to cry because I saw all the little kids burned all the persons... what do you think???

Answer 1

I cannot believe all the feelings, concern and sympathy that went into this question and its answers. I am not a denier and I am ashamed of the individuals who participated in the deeds as these who deny it. For the record there was little we could have done; if it had been made public it might have been an influence but what can one say at this point? I want to know how many of you care about Americas' holocaust? You who are yankees should be demanding that Congress recognize the crimes and that an apology and recognition is made. You who are Southerners should learn you do have a heritage and like these in foreign countries who remember their countrymen deeds and issues from hundreds of years ago, you should be proud of your countrymen while demanding justice for them. I know you will not believe this but 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.

Answer 2

Over 11 Million people died at the hands of the Nazis during those 6 years, it has received a ton of press over the years and rightly so because it was an atrocity beyond measure and the men responsible did not pay nearly the price they should have.

Never Forget This Really Happened!!!!!!!

But, at the same time on the other side of the world, this same thing was also going on. More than 7 million people lost their lives at the hands of the Japanese in the numerous death camps that ringed the Pacific theater. The Imperial Japanese Army considered a surrendering soldier to be less than human and enemy civilians were lower still. They recognized none of the infamous Geneva Conventions regarding prisoners of war that even the Nazis adhered to.

Reports of conditions in Japanese POW camps describe a hell rarely seen on this earth, but worse by far were the Death Camps that the Japanese had in China and Korea. Genocide not unlike that of the Nazis, but in many ways more cruel. Japanese soldiers are said to have staked prisoners out to die of thirst, starvation and exposure rather than waste a bullet on them.

Yes the Holocaust was real, but it was in no way limited to Germany or the Jews.

NEVER Forget, lest it happens again!

Answer 3

Im assuming you mean the holocaust that occured during World War II. The fact that human beings are capable of such a horrible event makes me sick.

When I was in France I saw the holocaust museum in Invalides. Seeing the pictures, the uniforms, the torture devices, the flags, and the pictures drawn by the prisoners was earth shattering. I cried when I saw these things and realized how many lives were lost... its i really overwhelming.

Today we are experiencing a mass genocided in Darfur... after the holocaust everyone swore never again... but it is happening again.

Answer 4

Any person who can look upon the holocaust and not be moved is probably a sociopath.

Unfortunately what we refer to as the 'holocaust' existed before WW2 and still exists today. It is called genocide.

Darfur
Kosivo
China
Cambodia
Stalin's Russia
US War against the Native Americans. Forced relocation to reservations that still exist today.
Crusades

When will we ever learn?

Answer 5

I think it's unbelieveable that "this great country" knew about it and looked the other way. Much the same was that I think it's unbelieveable that "this great country" knows what is going on in Africa and we look the other way. If they had oil there, I bet we'd be there instead of Iraq, claiming that we want to correct the situation.

I think it's unbelieveable that there are now a large number of Holocost non-believers who are attempting to say that it never happened. Ask anyone who was there when the US liberated the camps. Ask them before they all die and we forget what happened.

If the movie you saw was NOT "Schindler's List," go rent it today.

Answer 6

This whole nightmare is a classic example of mankinds ability to look the other way. With something this horrific people tend to discount the rumors and not investigate. As far as the German people of this time, many claimed to not know what was happening, or only to be following orders.
The destruction of entire groups of marginalized people was construed as good for Germany. The insane,the handicapped,the homosexuals,the gypsies,the Jews,and anyone who disagreed with Hitler's blueprint for the German Empire were not only expendable they were liabilities to be erased without recognition or memorial.
It is a terrible realization to know to what depths of depravity human beings can sink in order to become one with the mass. How easily people are drawn to a manic messiah who promises them the world and absolves them of all guilt.

Answer 7

I think I saw that movie in school. We went to the Holocaust museum in Washington DC, it was really interesting. I think it's sick to hear about the people who don't even think that the Holocaust actually happened. It's just ignorant.

Answer 8

Thank you for your compassion and care.

The Holocaust was a terrifyingly horrible time bursting of cruelty and indescribable hate. Those who lost their lives, and lived through this unmistakable sadness; to them, I hold with so much respect and love. I feel...so deeply...for all....I pray, for the souls now deservedly at rest to be at peace, and know that we have so much love for them. And for the millions of suffering people, I pray that they can still hold God's light of hope and love in the darkness of evil surrounding them where genocide still takes place.The millions of lives affected by this....past and present....

They are so strong. And they are never alone.

We will never forget.

Answer 9

Over 11 million people died in the Holocaust; it's one of the most significant events in the history of mankind.

By always remembering it, we can try to ensure that something like it never happens again. When you think of those horrible images, remind yourself that this is what hate and discimination does.

Good for you for researching it and reading about it.

Answer 10

The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.


OTHER CONSPIRACIES TO THINK ABOUT:

1. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.

2. America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.

3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection.... The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Giancana from Chicago and Marcello from New Orleans, with duplicity from Castro and Kruschev....true story.

4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.

5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets, stars as well as the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.

6. The fossils of homo eructus, neandertals and 15 other hominids that are extinct were put there by paleotologists, archeologists, and assorted rock hounds to enhance their careers. Creationism is the only reality.

7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.

8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.
