What would you say to someone who believed that the Holocaust wasn't real?

Question

Im not saying that I don't believe in The Holocaust so don't assume that I think it wasn't real.

Some people on YA are like that...

Answer 1

This is what I said to a previous question:

I lost 17 members of my family to the Nazi concept of the superior Aryan race! They were rousted out of their homes in the middle of the night with only a very short time to gather whatever they could. They were told that they didn't own the houses they lived in and they had to be relocated. Then they were loaded onto cattlecars so full of people that no one could move or sit down. They couldn't go to the bathroom! Can you imagine? Hundreds of men, women and children packed together like sardines with no room to move on a train hurtling through the dark....Once they arrived, they were separated into groups and put through an "orientation" so to speak where the numbers were tattooed on their arms. The Nazis were very careful about keeping records. That's what the numbers were for...they carefully documented every person they murdered. The sick and the weak and the feeble were immediately marked for extermination. The men and women who could work were put to work like slaves until they dropped. And then they were marked for extermination. The young, pretty girls were taken to a different kind of place where the Nazi pigs had their way with them until they were no good anymore and then they were marked for extermination. The children were used for medical experimentation and then they either died or were marked for extermination. Oh, and extermination....They told them they would be taking showers; they were all naked together; men and women and children herded into a large metal room. Doors slam shut---CLANG! Then could be heard coughing and moaning and then louder and then real desperate screaming....then nothing. After it was over, they forced the Jewish men who were the workers to bring out the bodies and burn them in the furnaces or throw them into mass graves. And all this was simply because Hitler was a psychotic deranged lunatic and his good German followers loved hearing that all their troubles were because of the "mud" races that had mixed with their wonderful Aryan blood. You, sir, and all those here who blithely say "yes, it's the same" should be ashamed of yourselves! Shame on you!
And I received a thumbs down from someone for this. Can you explain why? What was it? Do they think I'm lying?

Answer 2

I typically ignore those people on the Internet. I don't think I've ever met someone in real life who doubts the Holocaust happened.

You could point out that there wasn't a single Nazi who said that the Holocaust didn't happen.

Answer 3

Believe me, it was real. I was only a child but
old enough to remember the talk that was
going on this side of the ocean. There is too
much proof. ABSOLUTELY too much proof.
I talked to people that saw the ovens and gas
chambers. Anyone who says that it was not
real is just ignorant. The next thing they will
say is that World War ll never happened.
Also there are a lot of people who was in
those camps that are still living who can
testify to the fact.

Answer 4

My dear sir: there are several books I may recommend you for your ignorance:
"Inside the Third Reich" by Albert Speer [Hitler's architect and economy minister during the war]
"The Order of the SS Death Heads" by Heinz Hoene
"Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer
'Goebbels Diaries" by Josef Goebbels
"The Last Battle" by Cornelius Ryan
"Hitler's Willing Executioners' by Jonah Goldhagen [I admit some doubts on this guy's intentions]
'The Psychopatic God" by Robert G.L.Waite
"Firestorm" Marshall de Bruhl
"Adolf Hitler" by Joachim C. Fest
"The Mind of Adolf Hitler" by Walter C. Langer
Notice I did not mention the books by Ann Frank nor Elie Wiesel. Good reading prevents being fooled by ignorants people "denying the Holocaust". The extermination of the Jews by the Nazis was their main central doctrine. Thanks!

Answer 5

"Don't cast your pearls before swine." Some of the previous answers said it in ways I cannot even begin to. I've been to a couple of the concentration camps - and it hurts my heart to
even think about it. I cannot imagine the amount of ignorance or callousness that makes people not believe it. I'm afraid, that coward that I am, I would never want to associate with them long enough to try to explain it.

Answer 6

who ever denies that holocaust was a myth is living in a fools paradise or claiming the air planes are not real they are just some birds
the extent of the holocaust could be debated like any topic in history

Answer 7

I tend to not talk to them now. They are set in their ways no matter how hard you try to show them proof, they don't care. You can only get them to listen and believe if they really want to learn and many are too stuck in their beliefs to try. I used to try to show documents on it to people like that and then gave up. Because no matter what they say it was one of the most well documented murder regimen in human history. And I believe it was real.

Answer 8

Ask them if the millions of Jews and Gays that died were nonexisitant... show them pictures...have them go onto the holocaust websites and tell them that theyre effed uppp

Answer 9

Try pointing them to links like this one which has actual photos and evidence http://www1.yadvashem.org/exhibitions/album_auschwitz/home_auschwitz_album.html

Some people have a vested interest in not-believing so don't be surprise if even this has no impact

Answer 10

Mr Gibson, put down that beer; I liked you in Braveheart but no good will come of this.
