NHV, I don't feel like debating, nor humoring Redemption with a response, so I'll ask you just one question about your post...I know, I'm singling out just ONE sentence in a long post, but for argument's sake, I think it can be warranted.
If the Nazis didn't have mass genocide in mind, why were Jews in concentration camps to begin with? It's not like they weren't trying to high tail their asses out of there as quick as they could...If they were starving because there was a shortage of resources(food), why wouldn't the Nazis let them just be on their way? Hungry and trying to escape, they rounded them up like cattle and left them to starve to death.

Jews declared war on Germany? Oh, and it's not 6 mil, more like 40k, or maybe 4 or maybe 1.4... And anyways, everybody does it, really... I mean we kinda did it once...
Bazooka, you see that you are wrestling with tar right? You see the game - confuse until only one thing is clear?
But look at line one and see if it even passes the preposterous check.
In the Civil war, both sides, but especially the North had indeed concentration camps, for POWs and sympathizers.
In WWII, Japanese Americans and some German Americans were placed in "concentration" camps
Prior to the WWII, Jews did infact declare war on Germany, but economically. google "Judea declares war on Germany."
You can watch a video which will deal with Science, concerning the holocaust.
My favorite part was when they proved that to kill 1500 people a day, was impossible; When they lit 3 phone books on fire, poured gas all over and after 20 minutes only afew pages from the top burned.
In history, enemies of the state were often times, the last to recieve provisions, and indeed many died. But 6million is far from a fair number, which all evidence suggest is more likely close to only 40,000, give or take.
Not to suggest that number isnt significant, but it's a far cry from 6 million, a number which originally was 4m, and before that was 1.4million.
My question is, why is this holocaust promoted, yet why does no one seem to know of what the communist/marxist bolsheviks did to 21-66 million, Russian, Christian traditionalist?
Ummmm...actually, thousands fled West with the SS rather than be "liberated" by the Red Army saviors. Eli Wiesel, who later changed his tune admitted as much.

6 Million? 4 Million? 1 Million? 40,000?
In the end, is it the final tally that really matters? So what does matter?
That the Nazi government instituted death, as well as cruel and inhumane measures against a large, indeterminate number of non combatants.
This post is about as clear as tar...Please elaborate on the bolded parts.
The way the game of denial works is to tie you up in a barrage of anecdotes that beat you down. They say, "6, 3, 2, .4, 3" and then in the end make you happy when they offer: "well I guess no number is final".
That breaks you free of fact one: we do have a number.
Then comes the next stage of the denial playbook: if we do not have a number, then what other "fact" is also wrong (see how they move from having you confused to having you agreeing to their no number "fact"). So now go after some other significant fact - in this thread it was gas chambers. Now they will hit you with a 1000 reasons those buildings were anything other than chambers (showers, storage facilities, whatever) and their proof will come in the pseudoscience of sizes of pipe fittings, or the supposed power of poison, etc. In the end they will again offer, "well we just don't know but we really doubt it". And you will be likely to say, ok.
Then the system repeats itself. Heck, by the end of it there were no jews before the war and the Nazi's were just overzealous german scouts. This is the same system most cults use to pass on their bizarre "truth" that is hidden by the entire world.
It is a game. And one that I have no interest in playing any part in. So I will not be in this thread any more. Good luck, have fun, and remember that we are talking about real dead people here not some academic brain challenge.
Good night Bazooka.
P.S. Please go and find any of your older relatives who fought in WWII, and ask them about the Nazis and what they were. They might have some real, non-romanticized, info for you that would help you understand anyone who wants to make Nazi's look better.
And those who dispute the claims are liars?

I know text can be "lost in translation," but it sure as heck seems like you are talking to me in a condescending manner and I'm not sure why...Let me elaborate on my assumptions(let it be clear that they are indeed, assumptions):
1. You think I'm too naive or stupid to understand the agenda of those who try to sugar coat the holocaust and feel the need to spell it out for me.
2. You feel my "agenda" isn't all that different than the obvious ones in this thread and feel that condescension is necessary to answer by question(s).
(I really, really hope this isn't the case.)
I know you said you are done with this thread, but I wouldn't feel like you are being a hypocrite by responding to this one last post...Feel free to shoot me a PM if you don't feel comfortable going against your word and responding to another post in this thread...You are a respected member of the INGO community and I would like your input, otherwise I wouldn't give a rat's ass.
Absolutely and utterly.
Not intended as condescending at all.
1. Nope, was trying to be explicit and detailed. That can come off as thinking you are dumb, but that was not the intent. Frankly, I wrote that explanation partly for you and partly for anyone who might just be reading.
2. I have no reason to think your agenda is the same as the two in question here. Frankly, I read you as someone that respects everyone and values polite discourse. My lack of it here may be frustrating you but that is not my desire, nor my intent.
Part of the simplification of language is me trying to keep from saying anything that would get me in trouble or from being misunderstood. Of course, that lead you to misunderstand - so mission not accomplished.
Bazooka, holocaust deniers disrespect the dead in a way that I have a hard time being civil about. Put yourself in my shoes, know children of the murdered and then try to remain civil when some guy comes along and says that no murder took place.
This has nothing to do with you Bazooka.
