What are your thoughts on the theory that the Holocauset never happened? Personally, i think the theory is a stupid load of crap, but some people really do think it never happened.
what do you think?

i consider the following things to be pretty legitimate proof that it did happen:
1) countless photographs, video footage, and artifacts
2) the testimonials of countless survivors, including my own grandmother
3) the numbers you will find tattooed on the arms of every concentration camp survivor.
if that's not enough, i don't know what is.
i also think it's very sad that we live in a world where something like this could even be questioned.

That part of WWII happened. I have seen the tattoo numbers printed on the inner forearms of concentration camp survivors. The Germans used green tattoo ink to write about a 10 digit serial number on the arm on those held captive. What gets little attention in WWII is the Russian Army's aggressive march to the Atlantic Ocean. The Russians armed with American military equipment defeated the Germans at the Battle of Berlin in April 1945. Over two million Russian and German soldiers died at that Battle. Yet the Battle of Stalingrad was worse. Close to 5 million Russians and Germans died at that battle. And yes, 6 million Jews died in concentration camps. For those living in Europe, WWII is best if it stays a distant memory, the extent of horror and misery in WWII is beyond human comprehension.

Usually the people that really believe the Holocaust never happened are poorly educated, and anti-Semitic. So they convince themselves that this "holocaust nonsense" is a way for the Jews to get more influence through sympathy. It's stupid, but so are most of these types of people,

If everyone today could see all the newsreels that came out at the theaters everyday in the 1940's and talk and meet refugees from the holocaust, there would be no question as if it was real or not.....I was a teenager at that time and believe me I have no problem with reality.....to most younger people today I relate their lack of knowledge about what happened, to my lack of knowledge of what happened in Rome 200 b.c.

It is an accepted part of history that this event occurred. There are records from Nazi Germany detailing the attempted extinction of Jews, homosexuals, mentally retarded, and Slavs. In addition, there are first hand accounts from survivors and testimony from soldiers who witnesses survivors. The theory is not based on facts but instead in racist paranoia.

are...are you kidding??? Of course it happened. The theory that it never happened is based off the German Nazi party claiming that it never happened. There's no WAY that it didn't. Some people try to convince themselves it didn't but that's just bullox.

Some people will believe what they want, regardless. God doen't exist...water is bad for you.....everything can help you lose weight....wine is bad or good for you...so is meat, so is everything.
Frankly, I just avoid people with idiotic opinions....they're not worth the time, and you will not change them. It's the way they get attention.

Of course it happened! (in my opinion at least) what about all those witnesses that were there, or the thousands of people dead? did they mysteriously vanish? I dont think so!
