Did the Holocaust really happen?

Question

I believe that it most definately did.

I ran into an in-between-jobs cabbie. He is a degree holder, and works in some IT field. Assuming he was educated, I was shocked to hear him say that the Holocaust didn't happen.

Tell -
1 - did it in your view? (give reasons if you like, but not such a big deal to me)
and
2 - what religion do you claim as your own?

It's good to read that a Muslim doesn't deny these events took place.

Thanks for your comments.

I was not personally impacted, at least not directly, by the horrific events that make up the Holocaust. I have listened and read accounts.

I did have a chance to visit a couple of camps while stationed in Germany - bone chilling places - and just found it so hard to believe that someone would deny it took place, and actually say that they didn't believe. Crazy.

God bless.

Answer 1

I knew a Messianic Jew,by the name of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand and his wife Sabina.. He was tortured by the German's in Nazi occupied Romania, for six years,as both a Jew by birth and a Christian by grace.. He then suffered another 8 years of even worse torture,when Romania was liberated by the Soviet Union,under the flag of communism... I personally saw the many deep torture marks that riddled his back,as red hot pokers were thrust into his body,by the communist interigators. He suffered under both Godless ideologies.

Sabina,his wife,one day was introduced to the Nazi commander that had been responsible for the senseless murder of 6 of her children..The man was broken and had come to know the Lord...Richard answered the door,invited the sorrowfull and repentent man to enter...He awoke Sabina and introduced her to the Commander..when she learned of his identity,she threw her arms around him and forgave him and prepared a meal for him....

How anyone could be blind enough to deny the event of the Holocaust,under Hitler's Third Reich...is beyond me.. Ahmadinejad and others can deny the Holocaust all they wish and carry on with his/their plan to wipe Israel off the map of the world..He will be unsuccessful.

I am a Spirit filled Christian.

Answer 2

It did NOT happen. Sharon S, you're a LIAR, you didn't smell anything. The JEWS declared WAR on Germany on March 24th, 1933; all Hitler did was wage the war the JEWS asked for, and they lost. Nazi Germany did NOT kill six million jews, the International Red Cross put the death count at all the concentration camps combined at a little over 271000 for the duration of the entire war! Most of those towards the end as Germany could no longer feed them, many died from starvation and disease, yet Germany still allowed aid to be sent to the camps by the IRC. The US killed more innocent civilians than Germany did with two atomic blasts on Japan in less than a week! World Jewry at the time was only 14 million, the idea that Hitler could have killed nearly half of all the jews in the world is ludicrous. Additionally, NO evidence exists to support these outlandish claims. Where are the alleged six million bodies? That's alot of bodies, displacing alot of mass that nobody seems to be able to find. Eyewitness testimony from Holohoax survivors differs between jews and other political prisoners, with the jewish "recollections" being the most outlandish and horrible, and the most easily proven to be false. Google "holocaust denial", and get the TRUTH. Why do they perpetuate the lie? Power and money. The jews have a saying: "There's no business like Shoah business", Shoah being the jewish word for holocaust. Perpetuating the lie garners sympathy and money, most notably in the form of "Holocaust" reparations, of which few "survivors", if any, receive. Don't believe the tripe the jew-controlled government run schools teach you. Think for yourself, and question. Remember, history is written by the victors.

Answer 3

The holocaust happened! There are still survivors of the Holocaust out there that can give you a first row speech of what took place during that decade. This is like denying that 9/11 never happened, just because we were not there to see it.
I do not belong to a religion; just me and God.

Answer 4

It did happen, my grandpa liberated Buchenwald ( a concentration camp in Germany) he saw the bodies, the gas chambers, the mass graves, and the smoke plume and smell of the burning bodies that the Nazi's were still burning as a last ditch effort to get rid of the "evidence" He also was assigned to walk citizens of the near by town through the camp to show them exactly what their government was doing.

I'm an atheist.

Answer 5

1) It surely did happen although I was not there a the time... you just don't hypnotise millions of people into believing htey have first hand experience and distribute them all over the world so as to fabricate the holocaust. What kind of nonsense is that by comparison! I prefer to accept the simple answer first.. that is.... yes, it did happen.

2) Apathetic agnostic.

Answer 6

It happened and that is objective fact whether or not anyone believes it or not.

The only people in the world who deny it are members of a religious group which has, for some reason, decided that as a matter of faith, that it did not happen.

Any group which has such a belief is or should be labeld a false cult of some sort.

Answer 7

Yeah, i met a holocaust survivor last year and he answered your question - no duh of course it happened, I mean people from canada could say the civil war never happened - but we have evidence and proof - documents of what happened during that time period, and so do they. Besides, would a bunch of random people from different countries get together and make up some extravagant plan? And i dont think that hey people from Auschwitz would tattoo themselves, so yeah i do believe it happened ( look at all of the books out their - Night by Ellie W. is one for example) Hope I could help :)

Answer 8

1. Although I wasn't alive I know a couple people who unfortunately had to be put through such a terrible existence. I believe it did happen, obviously all the photos, literature, victims, and even people I know from Germany have told me that they admit to it and they admit that it was a low point for their country.

Oh and 2. I'm Jewish

Answer 9

considering I was taught this in history and that I've visited designated memorial areas in museums etc.. I would strongly believe that it did....there is far too much documented evidence and I doubt any sane person would make it so widely public that would be easy to prove otherwise if not


edit: forgot to add, I don't belong to any religion, I'm Agnostic

Answer 10

1. in my view- hell yes, that's similar to asking, "did the roman empire happen? did world war 2 happen? that's just so unbelievably stupid.
th

why- there are(or were, not so much anymore) thousands of eyewitnesses. my grandpa lived in Lithuania, his dad hid a family of Jews because the Germans told everyone that Jews had to turn themselves in.(they were later found out by their neighbor and turned in, they were sent to a labor camp. my grandpa was 11. they weren't given food or water, they just worked until they died. thankfully they were liberated)


2. my religion is Christian, more specifically Roman Catholic
(btw, more Catholics died in the Holocaust than Jews)
