Defining the Holocaust
In 1979, the President's Commission on the Holocaust provided the following definition to help guide the Council and its observances:
The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic annihilation of six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators as a central act of state during the Second World War;
as night descended, millions of other peoples were swept into this net of death. It was a crime unique in the annals of human history, different not only in the quantity of violence -- the sheer numbers killed -- but in its manner and purpose as a mass criminal enterprise organized by the state against defenseless civilian populations. The decision to kill every Jew everywhere in Europe: the definition of Jew as target for death transcended all boundaries.... The concept of the annihilation of an entire people, as distinguished from their subjugation, was unprecedented; never before in human history had genocide been an all-pervasive government policy unaffected by territorial or economic advantage and unchecked by moral or religious constraints.... The Holocaust was not simply a throwback to medieval torture or archaic barbarism, but a thoroughly modern expression of bureaucratic organization, industrial management, scientific achievement, and technological sophistication. The entire apparatus of the German bureaucracy was marshaled in the service of the extermination process.[5 ]
Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We must never forget, however, that for each person who was rescued and survived the Holocaust, countless more were killed. As we remember stories of rescue, therefore,
we must first honor the memory of Holocaust victims by countering indifference with vigilance and apathy with action.
2012 Days of Remembrance
It is truly right and fitting that we remember all of the victims of the Holocaust;
A ) the 6,000,000 Jews that were killed
B ) the approximately 1,800,000 Polish Slavs that were killed
C ) the approximately ( estimates vary ) 7 to 12 million Russian Slavs ( including 3,200,000 POWs ) that were killed
D ) the approximately 1,500,000 Romani that were killed.
E ) also the physically and mentally disabled, the homosexuals, the Muslims, and others that were killed.
All of these were killed by the same means as the Jews were killed !!!
If we only remember the Jewish victims then we are being indifferent to the millions of others that suffered the same horrors ! If we do not tell the true history of the Holocaust and learn all of it's lessons, then we will not remain vigilant , and thus NOT be prepared to counter the conditions that will allow another Holocaust to occur ! So everyone here should take an oath that when the Holocaust is remembered they will do their best to tell the whole story
I SWEAR TO DO SO
it's not 6 million. That is before they changed the bogus number of 4 million dying at Auschwitz to between 1 million and 1.5 million all of which couldn't have been Jewish.
Yes, most Jew haters are also Holocaust deniers as well. There are common denominators (symptoms) to this mental illness.
Jew-Hater Claim: I'm not against nor hate Jews, I'm against and hate Zionists.
My Response: I know I touched on this in part 1 on the blog, but I have just seen the movie entitled "Eichmann" that based its production on official Israeli interrogation manuscripts. (I would encourage people to see the PG-17 version of it).

Adolf Eichmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"During cross-examination, prosecutor Hausner asked Eichmann if he considered himself guilty of the murder of millions of Jews. Eichmann replied: "Legally not, but in the human sense ... yes, for I am guilty of having deported them". When Hausner produced as evidence a quote by Eichmann in 1945 stating: "I will leap into my grave laughing because the feeling that I have five million human beings on my conscience is for me a source of extraordinary satisfaction." Eichmann countered the claim saying that he was referring only to "enemies of the Reich"
Notice how the Nazi SS devil Eichmann sought to differentiate the murder of specified Jews not as sought out Jew-murder in particular, but as "enemies of the Reich". This is the same principle the Jew-haters in their Jew-hatred theory use when instead of using "enemies of the Reich" they will now use the term "Zionists". Their goal is to take "the Jew" (or the Juden) out of the obvious "Jew-hatred". The sad part is, the world media and the academic world buy totally into it.
Jew-Hater Claim: "Israel is occupying the land of the Palestinians, so the Palestinians have an ISLAMIC LEGAL/HUMAN RIGHT & AN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL RIGHT to fight back against occupation & oppression." (This was the exact wording, including the uppercase letters, as how it was presented to me on You Tube from a Somalian named Hassan living in Virgina).
My Response: 1. It is impossible to for any nation of people to "occupy" the birthplace of their nation, the birthplace of their religion, the birthplace of their culture, and the land of which their historical connection as a people are linked.
2. The land that is claimed by the Jew-haters to be Israeli "occupied" is the very land in which the Hebrew Bible was written and formed by the "raised Hebrew prophets". This fact is shared by the very founder of Islam itself Mohammad, who himself agreed that "all" the land in question of this modern era was original given by Allah to the Jewish people. (See Koran 5:20-21 / Koran 17:104).
3. Unlike the global jihad Islamic mindset the modern State of Israel never has "started" a war with anyone since it's rebirth as a modern recognized nation. Therefore the mindset and term of Palestinians "fighting back" is a willful misnomer, big time.
4. Since there can be no "occupation" of a people towards its national historical birthplace, and since the so-called Palestinians have equal citizen rights under Israeli law (including being Members of Parliament (MP) and member of the Supreme Court within the Israeli Government) the claim of "oppression" has no merit as does the "occupation" claim has no merit.
Both claims are intentionally used to turn world opinion against the Jews which is historically easier to do than it is for Israel to justify its existence, of which the world Jew-haters are very much aware.
5. It's ironic how Jew-haters will claim "Human Rights / International Legal Rights" when the Palestinians are the worse world violators of both. To the Palestinians, using a non-combatant of their own people as a human shield against the known life-preserving nature of the Israelis is not a human rights violation, nor is sending Katyusha and Qassam rockets into Israeli population centers that includes elementary schools.
Fact: The words "Human Rights Violation" was never uttered from the Jew-haters mouths when many Al-Fatah members were being butchered by Hamas members during the 2007 Hamas political takeover of the Gaza Strip. That wasn't a Jew-hating political issue. It's only when the Jewish Israelis makes a defensive move to protect its citizens from literally thousands of rocket attacks that we then hear the terms "Human Rights and International Law/ Rights" coming from the world Jew-haters.
