I love the way you make the assumption that I have not looked at this! Because you obviously know me well! hahaha
I made the assumption based on your posting here. I have read Hilberg, Arad, Pressac and some other stuff from their "sources." In total we are talking about over 10,000 pages which make up what mainstream historians consider when discussing "the holocaust."
So, you cannot answer a very simple direct question, preferring to post what YOU think happened... Which, as history has shown, is a pack of lies spread by Holocaust deniers...
Simply not true. I don't know if you read my post, understood my post, watched the Cole documentary I posted or what, but to be clear, I posted:
Here is the definition from wiki:
The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt"),[3] also referred to as the Shoah (Hebrew: השואה, HaShoah, "the catastrophe"), was a genocide in which some six million European Jews were killed by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, and the World War II collaborators with the Nazis.
The Holocaust - Wikipedia
That, as shown previously, multiple times now, is simply not true - EVEN BY MAINSTREAM STANDARDS.
How is that a pack of lies spread by Holocaust deniers? And moreover, what do you disagree with?
We now know, through your invalid posts that you DO deny the Holocaust... You flail around with your ridiculous assumptions about things being built or happening AFTER the war... Yet you cannot prove a single point you try and make!
I just read a thread where you go back and forth with poor Hollie and you are doing on this thread what she does on every thread. The irony is something. The evidence was posted and it comes directly from Dr. Piper, Auschwitz State Museum Senior Curator. Fanger is absolutely correct on this one. And the Aushwitz "gas chamber" is not the only reconstruction from after the war.
Dr. Piper, Auschwitz State Museum Senior Curator, explains that the room displayed to tourists as an extermination “gas chamber” in its “original state” is actually a postwar reconstruction.
Well, that makes you simple of mind and, in my opinion a Nazi by any other name....
Except I speak out against the nazis frequently. I have even posted the evidence of the zionists working with the nazis. It sickens me.
I am not a Jew but I had family murdered by the Nazi's... You see, not everyone in the concentration camps were Jews!
I'm sorry and I get that. I know many died. I even posted:
But more to the point, we can talk about what did happen. Jews were rounded up for their Jewishness. They were thrown in work camps much like the Japanese in America. Many died in these camps. Some starved, some died from disease, some were shot and some were likely beaten to death. This is what we know and it is horrific.
Keep in mind that the vast majority of these deaths came after the allied firebombing of Europe which left the nazis unable to deliver all the food and medicine to these camps which they had been delivering since the start. If they really wanted to exterminate the Jewish people, why feed them? Why provide medicine for the sick?
I will add that Poles were rounded up for their Polishness, that gays were rounded up for their gayness, that gypsies were rounded up for being gypsies, others for their otherness, etc. All that is certainly horrific.
Now that your simple question was answered, how 'bout you taking a crack at my two simple questions that you skipped over.
If they really wanted to exterminate the Jewish people, why feed them? Why provide medicine for the sick?
So, how about we do this...
You answer my question and I answer yours?
Do you deny the Holocaust - Yes or No?
To help you out even further here, because you seem a little confused, it's ok, we all understand... When I say "Holocaust" I mean in terms of what every normal human being understands and interprets as "Holocaust"... Not some BS undefined waffle...
Does that help you?
Is the wiki definition I posted not "what every normal human being understands and interprets as "Holocaust"" in your eyes?
I answered twice. The answer should now be obvious.
As far as,
"Not some BS undefined waffle..."
This is why I assume you have never looked at this crap, comments like that. Are you aware how many times the mainstream story has changed since the Nuremberg trials? I could list countless examples of once "established holocaust history" that no longer is believed by anyone in the mainstream world.
Here is one obvious one. When the propaganda of death camps first appeared, something like 22 death camps were "known." Today, the mainstream historians speak of only 6... and none in Germany. THAT IS A GIGANTIC REVISION BY ANYONE'S STANDARDS!
I am still waiting to find out from anyone why the hell the nazis were feeding and providing medicine to the same Jews they were exterminating, let alone Hitler's Jewish soldiers.
You have provided 'answers' though failed to be honest and answer the direct question with a direct answer... That's ok...
I am happy that there are still investigations taking place about the Holocaust and that there are revisions of what were, at the time, pretty sketchy accounts of what actually happened during the Holocaust... I am not 'scared; of these revisions, I think it's important for history to be correct. Remember it is only in recent times that the Holocaust has moved into 'history' rather than being in 'living memory' (mostly)...
To your questions.... And there are plenty of answers out there if you can be bothered to look it up!
In the very early days, Nazi Germany was a big supporter of Zionism, I am sure you know. Nazi Germany would, if a Jew emigrated to Israel would ship heavy machinery equivalent to the value of property left in Germany. Yes, Nazi Germany actively encouraged Jews to emigrate.
The Nazi's, being the 'superior race' felt they had a duty to behave with some morals. For years there was no 'real' plan for the Jews in Germany... Goebbels himself said that murdering the Jews was an 'unacceptably Asiatic' solution to the problem. "We're the master race, with that goes a certain moral superiority that means just shooting the lot of them isn't acceptable."
The Madagascar Plan was one of the first solutions to be proposed by Nazi Germany... Basically round up all the Jews, ship them to Madagascar... This wasn't the only plan to be put forward PRE 'Final Solution'... Deport all Jews to Palestine, was another, and Siberia was also suggested...
Many Jews fought with Nazi Germany... For many different reasons... If they could 'hide' whilst fighting for Germany then they would, many also believed that fighting for Nazi Germany would bring an end to the war and they would be deported from Germany at the end of it, maybe even to Palestine. Many Jews fought for Nazi Germany against a 'common enemy', the Russians, Finnish Jews, for example, did not fight for the 'Nazi cause', they fought to protect their country from the Russians!
I don't see it a big deal that Jews fought for Nazi Germany, certainly in the early days. There was no 'Final solution' then just several ideas about deporting Jews, perhaps even to Palestine!
