Is it normal that I don't believe details of the Holocaust?

  • I thought the number was 3 million. But whatever the germans kept meticulous records so it may be possible to count alot of names. Is the problem with the number? Becos the Soviets say they had 10 million die in the war... do you doubt that number? In Cambodia Pol Pot is said to have killed 2 million how about that number? Also there were many jews that were killed outside of concentration camps during various pograms do they count? To me considering the efficency of the germans its not hard to believe but your entitled to your opinion.

    • The 6 million number is common knowledge. Maybe get your GED.

        • Of course you don't care. You only care about you and don't know common knowledge because you're uneducated. Get the GED.

            • I don't get infatuated with women. I'm gay. I'm just calling out all the assholes on here and you're one of them. It's about time someone put you internet bullies in their places. I will call you out every time you act ignorant you treat someone like dirt as I've been doing with others.

    • It's one thing to count all of the casualties in a war that lasted for years. Many bloody battles can account for that.

      It's another thing to say that these people are forcibly taken from homes and then held captive where they were systematically murdered.

      The former is former is just a natural consequence of war, and the latter requires a vast conspiracy of tens of thousands (maybe even hundreds of thousands) of people carrying out unspeakable deeds.

      And my point to this post isn't so much about questioning the accepted details of the Holocaust, but more about how it is not allowed to be questioned. And how if you start to say these things, you are called names and shamed and shut down.

      • ...there WAS a "vast conspiracy" of people carrying out unspeakable deeds. It wasn't tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, but millions of people. They called themselves Nazis. Adolf Hitler was their leader. None of this is in doubt.

        People who say those things are called names and shamed and shut down because anti-Semitism is frowned upon in civilized society. Yes, it's only anti-Semites who say things like that. No, there aren't people who aren't anti-Semites saying those things. People who are anti-Semites aren't nearly as good at hiding it as they think they are, just like racist and sexist people aren't nearly as good at hiding it as they think they are.

        Evidence of the Holocaust is overwhelming. Only a deeply anti-Semitic person would question something so clearly established. And anybody who is capable of denying something so well known, isn't going to be easily persuaded in a radio interview or an online post or in a conversation. That's why people don't waste their times trying to convince Holocaust deniers. They already know the truth, they just refuse to believe it, and you can't change the minds of people like that. They're going to continue denying it no matter what you say, and they're going to reveal that they hold even more anti-Semitic views. That's always the case. So it's not that it's not allowed to be questioned, it's that people don't want to waste their time with anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers who aren't going to change their minds no matter what you say.

      • Many ppl even the german public didn't know what was going on. And in a war soldiers follow orders theres a long history of atrocities being carried out becos the soldiers were following orders.

        Why can't it be discussed? I don't know. I haven't given you any shit for bringing it up.

        • I didn't mean you - I meant in general, in public.

          I feel like I could never say these things outside of anonymity because people would call me an "anti-Semite" and a "Holocaust denier".

          That was my point in mentioning the radio interview. I thought it was odd that he host didn't say, "well you're wrong and here's why." And instead he talked down to, belittled and dismissed the guest.

          • Believe it or not, anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are not new. People have been saying these things since the end of World War II.

            That's why during the radio interview you claim to have heard, the host didn't waste time arguing with the anti-Semetic Holocaust denier.

            Any adult, anybody who's old enough to call into a radio show or post on a website, has had plenty of time to learn about World War II and the Holocaust. The evidence is freely available and it is overwhelming. Anybody who still denies it despite all of the information that's freely available, isn't going to respond well to somebody who tells them they're wrong and explains why. They're going to keep arguing and keep denying. That's how it. works. That's how it always works. The radio host knows this, and that's why, if this interview happened as you claim, he shut it down so quickly.
