Of course it is. Just ask any of the millions of survivors who lived in the squalor of the ghettos and the concentration camps. Yes, it is horrible to fathom that humans can be so cruel to each other. But, it did happen. We need to learn from our history so that it is never repeated.

Yes, wanna-speek-french, the Holocaust REALLY, REALLY happened. Also, the Revolution, the French and Indian War, WWI, the Spanish American War, the Salem Witch Trials, The Inquistion... Even the lousy public school history texts have these things in them.
Check out Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust
During WWII ALONE, the Russians killed more than 100,000,000 of their own countrymen!
More than 20,000,000 native Americans were killed as a result of the European invasion.
All of this proves Man's inhumanity to Man.

I love this question. I would love to say to clowns like Admadinajahd, "there are fewer people who knew the prophet Muhammed, so therefore he must not have existed!"
Yes, of course it happened. The earth goes around the sun, there are 24 hours in a day, and the Holocaust was real.

Of course it is true. There are survivors, the camps are still standing as proof. And how else would you explain more than 6 million people just disappearing? And what about the gruesome pictures? There is just to much to actually say this was false.

I would say yes, and as far as I know the Jews were not the only victums. Hitler hated many other people, believed they are infirior, and sent them to concentration camps.

Yes it did. In the early 80's I had a teacher who was a child in the concentration camps. She only spoke about it once, it was a painful and profound experience, to meet someone who had witnessed the atrocities first hand. I've never forgotten her.

Yes. Perhaps you should take a look.
Personal testimony of SS officers at Auschwitz:

Yes, it's really sad that this actually happened. They tortured those poor people and so many were killed... When I was studying that subject in school I couldn't sleep for weeks
