Stop your hateful attacks on liberals. You should show more respect for your intellectual superiors!!

No need to read the Nuremberg Trial. I watched films of it. I also have seen photos of the hideous internment camps, films, and talked to WW II vets that saw them.
It takes an extreme liberal to go against such overwhelming proof.
2 + 2=17 in your world…
Hopefully you are referring to the Germans as the liars and you did not express yourself clearly.

It is unfortunate that there are those who would rewrite history by ignoring one of humanity's darkest chapters. As a history teacher, I cannot 'pretend' that events did not take place whether I want to or not. The human experience is what it is-and we study history to learn from that experience and help us to understand the world in which we live today. We study history to guide us in our present day decision-making and to avoid the mistakes of the past.
Here in Michigan, we have a Holocaust Memorial Museum visited by thousands every year. Maybe these disbelievers should come and see the very compelling evidence that there was indeed a Holocaust. They can also ask any World War II veteran who discovered the camps and saw what was going on in them.
But they won't because this would only force them to publically admit that they were wrong. And if they are wrong about this, then what other lies have they told?
Time will never silence the souls who perished in the Holocaust-the greatest crime in human history and their message resonates for future generations throughout the world despite the efforts of those who would ignore them

The testimonies at the Nuremberg Trials were ridiculous, childlike lies. Read them.

R.L. Schaefer of CA said:
“And, over 40 million American babies were murdered in the womb by their mothers since 1973 - That Holocaust continues - unabated.”
Steve there is no comparison to Germany except to say there was two HOLOCAUSTS. Re-read R.L. comment with comprehension…
No pain Steve:

The European holocause killed millions of already existing people who experienced pain and terror of monumental proportions. Abortion kills fetus which is not a person. In most cases, the aborted fetus is actually a mere zygote which possess relatively few undifferentiated cells. This is hardly the same as killing an actual person. Of course, the fetus experiences no pain or terror either.

Where were all the "good" Germans in Nazi Germany? Where were they when other Germans burned and looted Jewish businesses? Where were they when the Jews were forced from their homes and into ghettos? Where were they when Jews were made to wear the Star of David on their sleeves? Where were they when the rights of Jews were taken away under the law? Where were they when families were torn apart and shipped to "relocation camps"? Where were they when the stench of burning flesh and the rattle of machine-gun fire drifted over their towns?
Maybe in the same place the "good" Muslims are today - silently looking away from the truth.

I think they (city) should go get the bigges chestnut tree and plant it. There is no poem prettier than a tree. . . I was/am touched by it's value to Anne. Trees do that to people . . . Symbolize hope. I often go back to my childhood home to look at the trees I knew then--some of them are still there! I remember the hope they symbolized for me then; still do. Otherwise, why would I bother. And, I was free as a child, too. To climb, gather leaves for school projects, to wave at my mom while sitting in one. And, to think of the hope it gave to a young girl in hiding for her life, well, one has to understand. We ain't made of steel. And, to deny the holocaust, well, WTF.

From Palestine there are hundreds of unguided rockets fired into Israel before Israel responds. Or is it more rockets than that ? Is it thousands ?
There is peace if Palestine stops the attacking.
There is no comparison to the Holocaust.
In WW 2 both sides wore uniforms. Those murdered were innocent people killed because of their religion, etc..
Terrorist do not wear uniforms. They fire their rockets next to schools churches, and residents. So Israel can not use guided bombs to take out only the attackers. So Israel must invade for self preservation.
Again. There is peace if Israel is not repeatedly attacked.

history of holocaust is reality which no one can deny.however,the problem is that it was used as weopon to scare off others who dare to criticise the hideous actions of Isreal against Palastinian people.the jews did not take advantage of the horrible memories of holocaust for the greater cause of safeguarding humanity not to happen something like that,but on the cintrary,they used it as tool of achieving of a ideologically-motivated quest of which deforms the honor of those who had perished in the holocaust.
