I was never a denier. I know a woman who's parents survived it. The whole story was mostlly about the gassings and that they didn't really happen. That it was just a profitable hoax. I didn't really believe that. But I did think 6 million was just a huge number. Maybe I didn't want to believe that was the actual figure. But I do definatly know that the holocaust was all too real. It almost made me feel bad for being almost half german, as silly as that is. But I don't deny it. I guess it was just another thing that some asswipe had to try and disprove. I'll take your word for it.
Yeah, I agree with you. Six million does seem such an incredible number and I had the same thoughts as you. It's what made me do the maths, years ago. It just didn't seem feasible and I was actually hoping it wasn't. It's greater than the population of Norway, or Singapore, or New Zealand. How can this be?
I know you're not a denier, but I was thinking about the people who are. There's something strange in the mentality. There's a denier of the paranormal here called James Randi. Personally, I agree with him and I don't accept that there is what people think of as paranormal activity. But he's rabid about it. There's some strange psychological quirk which drives him on, and it's a little scary. I mean, it's fine to not believe something, but the guy has set up a foundation based on his disbelief.
Is it normal to obsessively admire the French?
