How do you feel about the 600,000+ excess violent Iraqi deaths, payed for with rivers U.S. blood and treasure, and with Israel as the main beneficiary? - Reply to this comment
- Please do not lose one of these documents. Please not one. And shame on the Red Cross for protecting their buddies the NAZI. I guess they think it is ok to open it not that so many of the survivors are dead or to old to follow up. Please get the documents out of their control.And digitize it soon not only for the families but also the history buffs, hell any one who does not want this to happen again. HURRY
I personally want to know every holocaust story. - Reply to this comment
- I commend 60 Minutes for airing this most recent show on the Holocaust. Especially in light of the conference held by Iran's President. I'm not Jewish, I'm not a survivor of the death camps, I wasn't even born when these attrocities occured. Yet, I feel it is important that we stand with resolve against these evil men that are trying to cast shadows on the truth. We cannot let them succeed or they will be empowered to repeat this dark passage in history.

- Throughout High School (and now my college career) Ive run into many, many people who deny the Holocaust. I grew up in a very very close family, my grandfather enjoyed educating muself and my cousins about various historic events. One thing I will never forget for as long as I live, is the look he got on his face when he spoke of his family (all of whom were killed at Auschwitz, Dachau or Bergen Belsen). I will never forget the change in his voice, how his hands started shaking and how he disolved to tears. That thought alone is enough for me to cry. Knowing the pain he felt. My thought is that these ignorant individuals should actually 1. open their minds just a tiny bit and realize they cant ignore history. 2. sit down with someone and be educated, or at least informed, so history doesnt repeat itself.

- Through the entire interview with the survivors all I could do was cry. I hurts me so bad to know what these people went through and I applaud them and the 60 minutes team for making their past come to life in our future.

- I just heard the gentleman, Mr. Schwartz, make the comment regarding the president of Iran needing to go to Bad Arolsen and check it out for himself whether the holocaust occurred. All Iran's president needs to do is sit down for a short time with Mr. Schwartz. I don't think he would dare to do that however.

- My God....what has society come to. We are actually giving an ounce of thought as to the idea that: "Maybe the Holocaust never happened!".
That's like saying: "We are not living". I say we nuke these Rotten, Scumbag, Islamo-waste of Existence off the map instead.
These "Scum Pigs" actually conjure the notion that the world would be a better place without the Jews?
Wow, I think we have a new winner for the: "Calling the coffee black contest." Why anyone would give this "Iran Pig" an ounce of dignity is beyond me. - Reply to this comment
- My father's infantry division was one of the American forces that helped liberate the concentration camps. From the end of the war until his death he was haunted by the images he saw. Anyone who seriously believes the Holocaust didn't happen is as delusional as the Nazis who believed that they were justified in what they did. It's hard to confuse someone with the facts when their mind is completely closed to ANYTHING.

- Having walked the grounds of Auschwitz, Birkenau, Dachau and Theresienstadt I am still haunted by the knowledge (and evidence) of the millions of murders that took place. To walk the rails inside the camp of Birkenau knowing they were installed for the purpose of expediting the sorting and then deaths of the Hungarian transports breaks my heart at the machine-like precision the Nazi's achieved in their genocidal plan.
My good friend, who is an Auschwitz survivor, says, "If it didn't happen then where are my dear ones"
I am sure all survivors echo this sentiment. Where are all of their dear ones - their sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents -millions of souls who disappeared.
As for the deniers, as a teacher I am reminded of the student who sits smugly in the back of class with his arms crossed-firmly entrenched in his "Don't confuse me with the facts." - Reply to this comment
