Do you believe that  the Holocaust really existed?

I find the fact that you're even posing this question to be deeply offensive. Whatever your views, it is highly revealing that you'd even wish to post such an asinine question at all. Are you just trying to stir the pot or are you a deranged anti-Semite seething with hatred for a race not your own? Either way, you should be ashamed of yourself.\n\nAfterword: I originally thought not to dignify your insensitive query with an answer, but then I remembered that silence in the face of evil or injustice is like tacit approval. And if you think my words harsh or that I'm "overreacting," I'd suggest you spend an afternoon at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC as I and countless others have done. Talk to some actual survivors while you're at it... assuming you have the courage, which I seriously doubt.

Mentioning events in history doesn't make you a racist. It's ok to say "Holocaust."\n\nThings happen because either: \n\n1. There is no God and actions in life are completely random.\n2. Fate, destiny, testing faith, etc. exists.\n3. There is a God, but there is no divine plan and actions in life are completely random.\n\nAnd what ever you choose to believe above, bad things happen in life...to everyone.

I remember that disgraceful persecution of David Irving - an honest, unprejudiced, truth-telling man.  The Jews nailed him - he even had a Jewish judge deciding the case.\nRead his book about WW11 "Churchill's War" - it's straight reporting too.\nBy the way, the best book on the so-called Holocaust is "The Great Hoax", written about 20 years ago by a completely unprejudiced American who researched the subject for 10 years and wrote a very thick book - by far the most complete examination of the topic.  His conclusion was that a maximum of 150,000 Jews were killed in the whole of Europe during the Hitler time, in one way or another - certainly not by gassing.  Unfortunately I can't remember his name.  Can anyone remind me and say if this book can still be obtained : it's high time this whole thing was sorted out, don't you think?

Well, since the Bible is referenced in historical texts, more than any other book, and the story of Jesus is told in the Bible, I think that is considered historical proof. These stories are not new. The concept of Jesus' existance is harder for the modern day person to believe because we are 2000 years removed from that time. However, several texts, scrolls, letters, etc. were written soon after the death and resurection of Christ. Also, do not forget that zealous Jewish priests were persecuting Christians in order to try and get them to deny the message of Christ. This went on for a long time, and yet, the message has survived until now...2000 years later. Is it possible that it is all made up? I suppose there is no 100% evidence that it existed. But then, can you 100% proove that your great (time 5) grandfather existed? If you never met him and no one alive on this earth ever met him, how can you "proove" he existed. The simple fact is, you can't. But you believe because 1) you have faith. and 2) all the evidence presented supports that he did exist. All the evidence supports the existance of Christ. \n\nI suggest you pick up a copy of the book "The Case for Christ" by Lee Stroble. This presents the stories in a very "judicial" method. Giving the evidence and the opposing sides views and why the evidence supports the message of Christ.

If you're Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or a neo-Nazi or something, it's a myth.  Here on planet Earth, however, it's a horrifying reality.  I've seen actual footage -to say it's horrific is something of an understatement, I think.

Here's a link for a good site if you want to research it.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust

I think its a possibitly that it did exist - or at least a place like it. Otherwise there wouldn't never had been as much talk about it. Plus, I think it would just be the sh!t if it did exist!! :)

Jews only like to see a big "gap between Islam and Western civilitation hat make big miss-understanding between them that cause negative impact for the world civilitation" for their interest which is occupying the land of Palestine. Shakhmaty..you are right. It makes me wonder if Holocaust really happened?

Things that exist leave material records. The question is whether or not you trust the sorts of records on offer. And I don't trust them. What would settle the question is the same sorts of things that settle it on other animals? Did T Rex exist? Here's the bones. Is there a cheetah in these woods? Here's the scat and hair, here's the den, here's the impression of it's teeth on a kill....\n\nSo, you get the picture. As long as a thing cannot be shown to exist with believable evidence it is considered to not exist yet. Should we keep looking? Sure. Why not? A walk in the woods is good for the digestion. But save the opinion making until there is clear and convincing evidence.

First, if you are going to try to raise a fundamental question about the authenticity of anything, try to do it in good English.  I hate having to wade through bad grammar and poor sentence structure in order to delve someone's meaning.  And second, if you are referring to that tired old argument about the holocaust being fake, then you are barking up the wrong tree.  The Holocaust happened and there is nothing you or your deluded friends can do about it.  I suspect that you know this and are just using it to stir up sentiments about something about which obviously you know nothing.

"when he denies holocaust he must go to jail"\nCan you cite ANY examples of this? My heavens, you are much more likely to find yourself in hot water for criticizing the homosexual agenda in this country. The problem with Holocaust denial is twofold: one, factually speaking it's right up there with those who say the moon landing never occurred, and two, those who believe that in every case I have ever seen are racists of the most virulent sort. In the US, but biggest concentration of holocaust deniers can be found in universities. In Europe, it's the hoi poloi. Also, it can be found anywhere you find concentrations of Muslims. The head of Fatah wrote his dissertation on holocaust denial (he is a denier himself), the president of Iran has public questioned the Holocaust and called for the destruction of Israel. It is the talk amongst the conspiracy minded (that is almost all) in the middle east.

Primarily because it was popular to do so at the time.  Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said the Jews wanted to take over the world.   Hitler wrote (well he dictated it and it was heavily edited) called Mein Kampf - My Struggle in English, that does shed some light on his anti-Semitism (hating of the Jewish people)  I've included some resources below that may help you in your research. \n\n(I am not Jewish, but in an effort to be unbiased I must disclose that I do have Jewish relatives. The links I provided I have found personally useful and I find their coverage of the Holocaust to almost universally accepted.  There are however small groups which feel that the Holocaust never happened.  You will have to draw your own conclusions.  I was not alive then but the historical records and primary source material I have consulted have convinced me of the horrible reality of the Holocaust or Shoah.)

in all honesty... concentration camps were probably more humane than the hollows of a slave ship en route from the African continent to the US... However, I do think that the Nazis were definately issuing out unprecedented acts of cruelty on the Jews.  Now, I am African American, but I truely think horror is horror, and I don't see 1 being any better than the other.  However, at least the Jews still have a heritage to embrace, while all I have is myself to identify with in a foreign nation to my ancestors.  No no, I wouldn't weigh these horrors against each other... All I can say is, thank goodness I didn't have to endure through either... I'd most assuredly would not have stood either long enough to survive.

There is an excellent and very detailed analysis of this question in the book "Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time" by Michael Shermer. He discusses the motivations and tactics of those who deny the Holocaust ever happened; then he goes on to provide evidence of how we know it did. It's a fascinating book. I highly recommend it.\n\nAnd yes, as you can imagine, they are largely anti-Semitic with a bit of a paranoid streak, and tend to be conspiracy theorists as well.

Why is anyone even asking this question?  The level of ingorance that one has to have to doubt it happened - only serves to perpetuate the root causes of this holocaust and create more in the future.\n\nSee the movie The Man in the Glass Booth, about Eichmann's trial in 1966.  If you get to travel in Europe, go see the sites of Sobibor, Auscwitz, Treblinka, Madenek, Dachau, read up on Babi Yar in Russia and talk to any Jewish person from Europe.

Illegitimate question.\nLinear beings like us can not comprehend "always existed".
