It has everything to do with your faith if you're a Holocaust denier. Many Christian hid Jews to save their lives, like Corrie ten Boom. Did she lie? Read her book or watch the movie. All kinds of the same testimony along the lines of Anne Frank where righteous, truly righteous people did all they could to save Jewish lives.
No, most of them knew Martin Luthers writings against the Jews as he had already passed his antisemitism on to them. They were ripe for a leader like Hitler, he was right up their ally.
Fringe conspiracy theory aren't facts. But that seems to be your wheel house anyhow.
It absolutely is. One of the most attested to events in history.
Then so is everything else in history. The evidence from their own records was enough to convict them and we have much more than that for evidence.
Which I spoke out about in another thread. But then you deny that Hitler did anything wrong. So you're chasing your tail here. Either the Nazi's were wrong or right. If you don't see what they did as wrong you empathize or side with them. So what else do you expect to be called? You can't have your cake...
Anne Frank, the diary that has parts written with a ballpoint pen before ballpoint pens were invented. It's stuff like that that's really sketchy and makes me doubt and question the authenticity of a lot of stories. Some people hid Jews so they wouldn't get sent to camps.
Martin Luther didn't think much of Jews until he found out about the Talmud. When he found out the Jews were being encouraged to scam, harm, and steal from non-Jews by their religious teachers, yeah, he went off on them after that. All people were more religious back then, so pretty much all the Jews were listening to leaders that were teaching them this stuff.
It's been a long time since I read or listened to stuff about the Pearl Harbor incident. I vaguely remember it being official documents that have come out long after the event. If that's the case, then that's how the story should go. Then that makes the USA look really bad.
I have heard that the camps in Germany and west of there (I think just one or two), were inspected by British/American sources. They determined that there were no execution program in these camps. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union held 6 camps in Poland for 10 years without letting anyone else inspect them. This is where the alleged gas chambers were. They cut holes in the ceiling of a building and claimed they dropped Zyklon-B in there to gas Jews. Zyklon-B stains walls blue. Someone went in there and tested the walls for it too. He found nothing. He did find blue walls and a positive test for Zyklon-B in disinfection chambers. Again, why would they be disinfecting clothing and mattresses and doing everything to prevent lice and the spread of typhus if they were just trying to kill everybody? Auschwitz had an Olympic size swimming pool and medical facilities. I even heard a Jewish woman talking about how they would create and conduct plays at the camp. She said she asked a guard for supplies of some type to use in entertaining the children, and he got them for her. That doesn't sound like a place where they were killing everybody. At the end of the war, all the camps and all the territories were a disaster and lacking in supplies. So, yes, they found starving people at that point.
I have listened to something about how there's no mention of death programs at any of the camps from any German communications we have. Also, Churchill wrote a memoir after the war and had nothing say about Germans having death camps. It's kind of odd that that would be completely absent.
I think it's better to think of nations as criminal gangs fighting with each other for resources and territories. At this point I see the Germans as being victims of unfair treatment after WWI and unnecessarily attacked by the USA and UK during WWII. They were trying to fight against the greatest evil that ever existed in the world at the time, Soviet communism. They managed to keep it out of places west and north of them.
Then there's the sob story about poor, innocent Jews that never did anything wrong. If the Germans decided to slaughter them all, I would say it's wrong, but I surely wouldn't say it was for no reason. Then there's the need for poor, innocent Jews to have a country of their own, mostly paid for by the United States. If they're so helpless and innocent, why are they in so much danger everywhere they go? They're not even safe here in America after we saved them. They need their own nation. A nation that Jewish criminals flee to for asylum, because the Jewish state refuses to hand any Jews over to non-Jews.
Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, maybe we need to carve a place out for Christians and make the USA pay for it. Killing and persecuting and taking property from current inhabitants isn't something Christians can get behind, unless the name of the place can be found in the Bible. Then it's okay, and we'll get blessed for supporting such a nation. I'm still trying to figure out where all the blessings for the United States are after all these years of dumping so much money on Israel. Currently, the USA is about to go bankrupt while we have an unelected puppet for president. Please, God, can we get a blessing or two for all the money we've dumped on Israel? I wouldn't count on it.
