Why you almost never hear about Stalin, Hitler, and Moussilin in History class...

America is a FASCIST COUNTRY.

There's your answer.

I'm just curious why these papers were held for 60 years. What miraculous timing. How amazing EVERYTHING was kept track of. How fishy.

I just took a Russian Revolution class, and one of my fellow students asked, after reading and hearing the atrocities of Stalin, approximately 87+million people murdered, purged, and executed, why hasn't the genocide of Russian people ever been mentioned tandem to the Jewish Holocaust. My professor answered, because Russians, for a long time, had been thought of as "the axis of Evil", and therefore, any historical acknowledgement of the Russian genocide was purposefully omitted. While the holocaust in Germany did occur, I think it's really disconcerting to only elaborate on this particular tragedy, when numerous of tragedies has[have] occurred since, like the genocide or %u201Cethnic cleansing%u201D, in Yugoslavia, the mass genocide in Rwanda, and now the genocide in Dafur. History has repeated itself, and I%u2019m just curious how long will it take historians to diligently research and bring to the forefront these tragic events. In Rwanda over 800,000 people were viciously and brutally slaughter with machetes, while countries, including those in Africa, stood by and did absolutely nothing to thwart this barbarianism.

And now Dafur, hundreds of thousands are viciously slaughtered, again, the international community, does nothing, I personally don%u2019t see the point of continuingly going back and forth over if the Holocaust actually occurred, when we all know it took place, why not conserve that emotional energy to focus on how can we stop the carnage in Dafur, or any other future occurrence. This entire %u201Cbackbiting%u201D over the holocaust has become rather stale, and paradoxical, whenever blacks harp on the %u201Cslavery issue%u201D, whites, Jews, etc., argue they are simply using this as an excuse to rationalized why they have been held back, instead of taking responsibility for themselves. However, it%u2019s politically correct and acceptable for Jews to harp on the holocaust, which I%u2019m not implying it didn%u2019t occur, but, it%u2019s hypocritical to imply your pain is greater than others, because of its magnitude [number of casualties], when if you really want to be politically correct Stalin%u2019s brutally on his own people and the Baltic regions was far more devastating, considering the number of casualties.
We have a genocide happening right now, in Dafur, I%u2019m puzzled where are all the tintinnabulations of voices condemning the Sudanese government for allowing this %u201Cholocaust%u201D to continue.

60 minutes deceived in its report titled: Revisiting the Horrors of the Holocaust.
(1) The archives are not directly related to the Holocaust. They are documents on 17 million persons, who were missing after World War II.
(2) The documents are not Nazi archives, but documents located by the Red Cross from various sources and filed at a central location.
(3) The documents had been made public to those who had need and their contents were well known.
(4) There was no sinister motive in containing access to the documents. Their confidentail nature was forced by treaties and could not be changed without abrogating the treaties. The confidence was instituted to protect people against careless use of confidential information.
(4) Instead of complimenting the Red Cross for their courageious efforts in helping persons recover missing loved ones, their work was ignored and the Red Cross was portrayed as a sinsister force.
(5) The horrors faced by a 17 millions were demeaned by the presentation of the narrator who interviewed three persons and used them to misrepresent the nature of the documents.

First of all, I am not concerned whether something is a "fanatic, lunatic fringe, hate agenda," I am interested in whether the information is correct or not.

The world cannot be free and at peace until the facts come out about the Holocaust and the Zionist world order that is going to plunge the chaos of a nuclear war with Iran and the Muslim world.

Please hear the Ben Freedman speech for proper background:

About damned time! Why the hell did it take i sixty years /i to release these records to the public? If anything was ever a rebuttal to Holocaust revisionism/denial -- or the Pollyanna belief that "no one would ever commit such atrocities!" -- this is it!

....And do you think all 12 or even 17.5 were Jews? Six million were Jews, many were Muslim, many were Gypsies, ***, dissidents, swing kids, the feeble, blind, crippled, and the list goes on.

I've been to that bogus website your suggest, run by people who truly have their own, shall we say, fanatic, lunatic fringe, hate agenda.

Give it up. Too many non-Jews have seen, liberated and attested to the attrocities. Right now, what are you doing to make peace in the world or to help the suffering? You have to be taught to hate and fear. What happened to you? You're so sad.

I'm embarrassed to say this, but reading this article has made me realize what a whiner I am. I came home tonight being depressed over petty grievances that I seem to harbor for some assinine reason. But when I read this, I realized I have it pretty damned good. I've never watched relatives being hauled off or been forcibly tatooed or beaten into submission (well, except by my father). Yet at the same time I feel a bit guilty, that I'm feeling better about my own life based on the knowledge that others have had it worse.

Totally ludicrous story.

The death toll keeps going up. From 12 million to now 17.5 million.

What will they say next?

Why even bother to say anything to the deniers? It's a waste of breath.

I am troubled though, when people write about how we must never let such a thing happen again, as if it hasn't. Similar horrors have happened on a smaller scale numerous times since 1945, at least one of which was in some part modeled after The Holocaust. One small example that took place during the genocidal war in the former Yugoslavia is that there was a camp In Brcko, Bosnian where the commandant referred to himself as the "Serbian Adolf." And we say people never learn from history. They just learn the wrong things.

Your timing could not have been better considering the absolutely heinous conference refuting the Holocaust in Iran. All of humanity must remember that it was the Jews, Gypsies, ***, Disabled, and Political Dissonants during WWII that were targeted for exterminated. It could be any one of us any day now with the irrational hatred promoted in Iran. Don't let us ever forget.

It scares me, what this world is coming to. I teach and I see the result of what happens at home. You don't realize your child is paying attention, learning from everything you do. The only solution is to teach understanding and acceptance. You don't have to agree with someone, just respectfully accept the fact that they are different than you. If only we could all do this, even though it is not an easy thing to do.

I am about to teach the Holocaust for the 6th time; every time I learn more. Some of it is good, like when a student I would have sworn would never confide in me or stick up for someone who doesn't fit into their clique does. Sometimes it makes me sad, seeing how hatred and prejudice is still taught in homes, sometimes unknowingly. Prejudice occurs the moment you decide, THE MOKMENT YOU DECIDE, someone is different than you. Not all prejudice is bad, but this is the truth.

I, for my young age, have a dear friend who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald. She is an amazing woman who I love to talk to. She loves life, every day, all day. We don't realize what a historical treasure we have in our survivors. We should listen to them, and have our children listen to them because they are dying daily. Yes, I can teach the Holocaust, but it%u2019s not the same. Too many horrific things happened, and while we can't erase the past, we can spend our days on earth trying to ensure it NEVER happens again.

Thank you for sharing this story.

This idiot "aldern" (and other Holocaust "deniers") doesn't really believe the Holocaust didn't happen. He knows it did. The evidence is there from Allied Troops, from news reels, from the Nazi's own accounts, from the accounts of those who survived. He just gets his rocks off by taunting a group he feels "safe" to taunt. It's just like a schoolyard bully who makes fun of a kid who is too short or too tall or the "braniac." This is a small person with a small heart and an even smaller brain who has no joy or pride his his life and gets pleasure from this kind of taunting. How pathetic. You want to know why 15,000,000 jews in a world of 6,500,000,000 people are so prominent? It's called survival of the fittest. 40% of all U.S. Physics & Math Noble Prize winners have been jews -- even though only about 2 percent of Americans are jews. So, all you smart jews out there, ignore this idiot!

Will Try 1500, but this should prove something!!
WHAT HAVE THE JEWS REALLY CONTRIBUTED TO HUMANITY
(humanity includes biggots, racists, anti-semites)

ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW AND REMEMBER!

Fact: The first theatre to be used solely for the showing of motion
pictures was built by a Jew (Adolf Zukor).


Fact: A Jew (Dr. Abraham Waksman) coined the term antibiotics.

Fact: A Polish Jew (Casimir Funk) who pioneered a new field of medical
research gave us a word now common in our language - vitamins.

Fact: The first successful operation for appendicitis was performed by a
Jewish surgeon (Dr. Simon Baruch)

Fact: The doctor (Dr. Abraham Jacobi) hailed as America 's father of
pediatrics was a Jew.

Fact: Until a Jewish doctor (Dr. Siccary) showed differently, Americans
believed the tomato was poisonous.





Fact:Of the 660 Nobel prizes from 1901-1990, 160 have been won by Jews. In
the end, Jews win more Nobel prizes than any other ethnicity. They win
40x more than should be expected of them, based upon their small population
numbers.

Fact: A Jew (Dr. Jonas Salk) is the creator of the first Polio Vaccine.

if you are really interested, I have 150,000 more
words to solidify the brain tissue of those non-believers.......... so be it

Having stood in the gas chamber at Auschwitz I and touched the bricks of Crematorium V in Birkenau - seeing the photographs of said Crematorium/gas chamber -what is there not to believe?
AUSCHWITZ by Laurence Rees - important book. One every student of the world should read.

Hey Whitman or whatever you are:

You haven't said one thing you can backup with fact. You're just spewing aren't you?! The ACLU exists to protect the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They even protect the rights of the likes of you!

I have one thing to say to Charleton Heston, "Let my people GO!"

You like that millions of people were murdered by the Nazi's because many were Jews. You just resent hearing about it. And you love complaining about the questionable life and death of one human being-bring out the manger and kill another Muslim for Jesus!! That's what you're about. But it wasn't what he was about.

Turn on the TV anytime, any channel, night or day and all you'll see Christmas everywhere, and I don't a problem with that at all. That would make me very superficial.

Here's what I've learned, there's genocide taking place right now in Darfur, the Sudan and yes, in Iraq - If we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.

Would someone please give this whitless child a manger already so he can go back to sleep!

According to you, the whole entire jewish race that claims the Holocaust happened, is lying? My grandfather, who lost his entire family, watched his mother and father and grandmother get dragged outside by the hair and get shot! You're telling me he's lying??? Why on earth?!?!
You all make me sick. It makes me sick to think, the pain and suffering my relatives and ancestors and my grandparents went through, to come here to America, to this land of so called "oppurtunity", to hear the same thing they heard in Europe under Nazi rule!!
You all need to open your eyes and hearts and stop blaming others and focus on fixing the world, not making it worse. You should all be
ashamed of yourselves!

Thank you, CBS and Scott Pelley, for the honor of seeing/hearing three more survivors.
As for the Red Cross - that this is the same organization that bought into the lies of Theresienstadt doesn't seem possible.

Why would so many people lie? is the question invariably put to
Revisionists. Some lie because it is quite profitable. There is no
business like Shoah Business, said one Jewish observer some years ago
in a candid moment. Others lie because it is helpful to Israel, or for
any of thousands of other perfectly understandable reasons. Lying, or
mythologizing, is a common human trait according to Joseph Campbell.
Many others among the testifiers are not lying. They believe sincerely
in what they proclaim about the gas chambers, about having seen them,
about having seen the victims, about having seen the smoke rise from
the stacks, etc. etc. They are "honest and true believers" (as
Elizabeth Loftus would put it) in the myth because it is important to
them and to the Jewish people that the myth survive. The Holocaust has
become the unifying myth of modern Jewry, as we all know. Even Jews who
believe in the Holocaust will admit this if they are honest. Some
people believe in Jesus, some in Mohammed, some in the efficacy of
crystals, some in the Jewish Holocaust Myth. Revisionists for the most
part are non-believers in mythology.
