I do not think the Holocaust was "fake."
Here are some little-known facts that many people here on Y!A do not seem to know: the victims murdered by the German Nazis (and their collaborators from 1933-1945) included Germans: anti-fascists, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally-retarded, their own S.A. 'Stormtroopers', and Socialists.
The greatest victims were the people of Russia - with an estimated 20 million civilian and military deaths.
The reason I point this out is that too few of the people who answer questions here about Hitler, World War II, and the Holocaust even mention this. They list the death of an estimated 6 million European Jews and nothing else.

Lest we forget.
Yes I know about the holocaust. No I do not believe it was fake. However, it is so bad that many people can not bring themselves to believe that it happened. Many white supremecy groups have jumped on this band wagon and claimed that it was all a put up job by the Jews in the first place (This is in line with their ideas on ZOG). Bunch of prats if you ask me.
In addition to Jews, travellers/jypsies, Russian troops, some catholics, political opponents etc. were also subject to this particular form of German mass murder.
In addition to the death camps, the SS had a special force, I think called the Zundes Commando, or something like that. Basically they would engage in diggin large pits and then carrying out mass executions.
Yes, I know a little about the Holocaust. I am glad that I was not around for it. I believe that we should remember that it happened and keep remembering that it happened so that we can put the brakes on the next twit who starts pandering to racial hatred. But I do not think it will do any good. Bosnia, Iraq under Suddam and in a hundred other places around the globe show that man is more than prepared to do unto his neighbough just because he reads a different book or has toast on Wednesdays. You get the picture.
Luck

I know about the holocaust. Millions were murdered. Not just Jews, many germans and other nationalities too. Did you know that after world war two was over that there were still killings going on? In the surounding countries of Germany like Yougoslavia, Austria, Russia after the war they killed Germanic speaking people resisiding in their country. Even if they were there before the war.

If the Holocaust never happened, where are the 6 million Jews of Europe? Many of my mother's family were among those 6 million. It happened, beyond a shadow of a doubt. The atrocities were well documented at the time, both by the German records, and allied photographers after the war. The proof is irrefutable, at least by any sane standards.

The Holocaust did happen and is one of the most heinous examples of the cruelty that humanity has. It shows what happens when people use religion and/or politics to perpetuate prejudice and hatred. There are many examples, but the Holocaust is the most horrific.

Dude, it's not fake. Many died in concentration camps. This first started when Hitler became leader. I believe Hitler blamed the Jews for his not so good life. Read the story 'Night' by Elie Wielel. He wrote his experiences during that time

You need to speak with your older family members or your Rabbi.
I'm having a hard time believing that you question the reality of the Holocaust.

I know it was not fake. I know a lot, considering this past summer I went to a literature program set up by my school . I also know Jews weren’t the only ones killed, many people forget groups like gypsies were brought to concentration camps.

I know about it - a lot about it - and I'm not even a Jew.
Do YOU know about it?
If not, get cracking!! It was NOT a fake - just the worst example of anti-Semitic behavior in thousands of years of same.
