The answer is of course NO!

Those in denial, and they do unfortunately exist, are evil thick dense and stupid.


Ooh, I think I'll bow out of this one. . .
Thanks anyway ruthio.

Re: How can anyone deny the Holocaust happened?

Every event in history is questioned at some point. There are people who don't believe man landed on the moon. I think credence is given just by discussing it.

Just file them away in a folder named curious people.

Good point! If the Axis powers had won the war, The British and Americans would have appeared in the history books as the inhuman monsters who killed thousands of civilians in the Dresden firestorm, Nagasaki and Hiroshima. History, as they say, is written by the victors.

Holocaust denial is usually confined to the extreme right and extreme Islamists. There is enough evidence for few (if any) sensible people to deny that it happened.

Re: How can anyone deny the Holocaust happened?

History has always been written through the eyes and pens of the victors. What did the Romans do for us? These ancient monuments are amazing. Well it was slaves who died by the tens of thousands who built them.

What did the people you saw on telly do to make you think they were denying everything?

I thought you said these survivors had relics of their time spent there? Why does that make them in denial?
I didn't say the people on the Antiques Roadshow were denying anything, they were telling us their terrible experiences in the extermination camps!

Re: How can anyone deny the Holocaust happened?

I watched the programme today , it's unimaginable how those poor souls lived through those times . My son is going to ausvitch in February , I told him it will be very difficult for him . I don't think I could cope with the emotion and pain I would feel there . I couldn't go .

Re: How can anyone deny the Holocaust happened?

My I ask.

What does the Holocaust mean?

57 million+ died in WW2

Hitler was evil but to be fair to him he was evil to all.
