Thread: The Holocaust

Warning: All images in this entry are shown in full, not screened out for graphic content.
There are many dead bodies. The photographs are graphic and stark. This is the reality of genocide, and of an important part of World War II and human history.


Quote
One of the most horrific terms in history was used by Nazi Germany to designate human beings whose lives were unimportant, or those who should be killed outright: Lebensunwertes Leben, or "life unworthy of life". First applied to the mentally impaired, later to the "racially inferior", or "sexually deviant", or merely "enemies of the state" both internal and external. From very early in the war, part of Nazi policy was to murder civilians en masse, especially targeting Jews -- which later in the war became Hitler's "final solution", the complete extermination of the Jews. Beginning with Einsatzgruppen death squads in the East, killing some 1,000,000 people in numerous massacres, later in concentration camps where prisoners were actively denied proper food and health care, and ending with the construction of extermination camps -- government facilities whose entire purpose was the systematic murder and disposal of massive numbers of people. In 1945, as advancing Allied troops began discovering many camps, they found the results of these policies: hundreds of thousands of starving and sick prisoners locked in with more thousands of dead bodies. Evidence of gas chambers, high-volume crematoriums, thousands of mass graves, documentation of awful medical experimentation, and much more. The Nazis killed more than 10 million people in this manner, including 6 million Jews. (This entry is Part 18 of a weekly 20-part retrospective of World War II) [45 photos]

So what where is the hoax part here? Which part is faked? Anyone care to elaborate?

Yeah, but, none of those involved said that they didn't do it which proves that they were tortured into admitting that they were involved and thus proves that the entire thing was a hoax, including Himmler's diary!

I'm not really sure what you want to discuss, but I will say that there is a far larger holocaust going on right now.

- the perpetrators?
Western financial institutions and companies

- the victims?
the worlds starving

- the numbers?
Unfortunately billions

I doubt there's many people in the west who don't know of the Holocaust Liebe, what are you trying to prove?

Wat has this to do with the 'Latest World News'?
In this Forum we should talk about Genocides that HAPPEN TODAY!

BTW, they do not call this historic event 'Holocaust' any more.
They call it Shoa.

The term 'Holocaust' is an ancient Greek word that means 'whole-burnt-sacrifice' or 'burnt offering'.

The term 'Holocaust' which refers to Shoa was inroduced by the American film industry, but not accepted by the religious Jews.

Whenever the Israeli racists are being particularly oppressive and obstructive we are told to talk about the Holocaust. I suppose we could put money into Time Machines, if we had any. I can't see what else would help.

Western financial institutions and companies arent to blame for the worlds starving millions, if anything they help provide the resources for poverty to end in these countries. It seems to be fashionable these days to blame poverty on the affluence of the west but I dont agree.

This thread is in the WRONG FORUM. Liebe is, demonstrably, aware of the conditions for posting in the Latest World News forum and has ignored those rules. For the sake of consistency please report this thread and have it moved.

Really? So you think the WD and IMF are there to help the 3rd world and not the West? Why are they then including conditions to open their markets to the West for food into WB loans? Why have the futures markets trippled the sale value of basic food stuffs over the las ten years or so? This is happening now. Great for our Western companies, great for stock traders, really really bad if you live in a 3rd world country, who's farmers couldn't compete with the subsidised Western imports and went out of business. Leaving the people of these countries at the mercy of the global "free market" ("free market" in quotes, as it isn't "free" - the West subsidises their own farmers).

This is not fashion - this is the reality.

Staple food stuffs have trippled in value. There's your free market and how it's helping the worlds poor.

Who should do that for you? Was that a general instruction?

In the interests of consistency, it is helpful if all political opinion is moved from latest world news (such as threads about jews being the chosen people or israel's right to exist huh?
