It was when Hitler was a dictator in Germany during World War II, and he took it in to his own hands to wipe out the society of what he felt was inferior beings, messing up and ruining the Aryan race. He was a huge racist and in other words, commiting genocide on millions on innocent Jewish civilians. The Holocaust was the event where the millions of Jewish people were being put through torture, being murdered, and were dying in concentration camps because he did not like them. He was actually Jewish also, but he made this like one of the earliest forms out a hate crime, but in such a more degrading, sick twisting way. He was insecure of his artist abilities and it was said because he got kicked of art school, he decided to hate Jewish people from them on. Holocaust one of the worst events that happened in our history other than slavery, and the land stealing of Native Americans.

He was a professor of History (as I remember it).  Who happens to be one of those people who deny the Holocaust.  He has been for a while, I guess he just did it in the wrong place this time.

You are wrong on so many levels. To begin with, it very much is allowed to research the holocoust in europe and the usa and even to deny it, if that is what you wish. In ONLY ONE COUNTRY is it illegal to deny the holocaust. Not in all europe, and not in the usa... \nIf you wish to be ignorant then you can continue to deny historical facts, but if hundreds of thousands of testimony from various individuals involved, including survivors, those who ran the camps, those who transported jews etc, Thousands of films and photos of camps, victims etc. And finally the camps themsleves still exist.. If that doesnt convince you.. then I feel sorry for you..

why holocaust is not a legend? there isn't any approved evidence about it. so we shouldn't approve its a legend who believe in it should approve it's true. but in my idea I think Hitler was a mad man and he might do any stupid crime but not as many people as they say. I can't believe these statistics and also it's very strange why some countries pay a lot of attention to Holocaust and governments which always state that there is democracy in their country and everybody can say what he want send to jail who deny and talk against it. It's very doubtful.

Yeah, I have lots of information.  Read the book 'The Diary of Anne Frank'. \n\nI know lots about it.\n\nP.S. - Maybe if you asked more specific questions you'd get a better response.

Genocide is killing a group.\n\nThe Shoah (Holocaust) was a specific genocide carried out under Law by the NAZI regime.\n\nThe Turks have never acknowleded their genocide against the Armenians.  The Germans and Austrians have apologized for their mega-murders of innocent men, women, and 1,500,000 children.\n\nBTW Japan has never apologized for their genocide against the Chinese.

History is repeating itself.\nThat is how the Nazi's began.

The Holocaust (as opposed to lower-case "holocaust") is the systematic murder of 6 million Jews and approximately the same number of non-Jews by Nazi Germany led by Adolph Hitler.  Yes, it happened.  There are still survivors alive today who were there, as well as Americans, British, etc. who were involved in the liberation of the death camps who also witnessed the devastation.\n\nThe main deniers today are Moslems, as well as organized racist groups in Western countries (such as the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan in the US).

At first this question offended me.  I suspected a touch of anti-semitic bias.\n\nThen I went on the web to look at some facts regarding the number of non-Jews who were also victims of the holocaust.  The facts lend legitimacy to the question.  There may have actually been MORE non-Jews killed in the death camps.  \n\n(For a quick read on this, go to the Wikipedia link below)\n\nSo, back to the original question..."Why is it that we only hear about the Jews killed in the concentration camps?"  \n\nMy guess is that they exist both as a homogenous group (Jewish) and as a nation (Israel) that is a close ally of the U.S.  All through the cold war years when we were writing our version of the history of the holocaust, many of the non-Jewish populations that were affected had fallen behind the iron curtain (Poland, Hungary, Romania, etc.).  For nearly 40 years the interests of these people and the stories of how they too suffered at the hands of the Gestapo were not foremost in our national awareness and empathy (let alone our textbooks). \n\nOther under-represented victims included the mentally or physically disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists and political dissidents, trade unionists, Freemasons, and some Catholic and Protestant clergy, many of whom were also persecuted and killed.  All of these were also less politically viable after the war or were also victims of our own ignorance and bias here in America.\n\n\nTo sum up, I don't think that there is some "devious plan" to manage the perception of the holocaust as an exclusively Jewish persecution.  I think that the rest of the various (and many) groups that were targeted simply didn’t engender anything like the unified outrage of the Jewish community and the state of Israel. \n\nGood question…made me think.

Id say people in the Middle East have an extremely biased view (if any) on the Holocaust. Im Lebanese, living in Lebanon, and i can say that the Holocaust is praised (unfortunately) in most Arab countries since Israel is viewed as the main enemy (along with the US). It's sad to see educated people praising Hitler and the horrible genocide he commited against Jews. Being an Arab Christian, my backgroud education gave me the right idea about the genocide. However, most Muslims have this haine for Jews (mostly because the Sheikhs and Arab leaders examplify Israelis and Jews as the force of evil and war in the world). I dont want to sound too pessimistic but a better education will not be the solution because Imams (or Sheikhs, as in muslim religious leaders) will still endoctrinate their followers... The only solution in my opinion is the creation of two states (Israel and Palestine) after both forces recognize one another according to international law. It's a shame extremism (whether ultra-orthodox jews or fanatic muslims) is the obstacle of bringing people together..

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.

Well, did it really happen? Its unacceptable because it lends credence to the billion dollar holocaust industry. Frnakly most of the hjolocaust garbage has been proven false. Lechter did it when he performed the first foensic test on the so-called gas chmbars and found no evidence of Zyklon B which has a residue life of 300 years as non evident in the so-called chambers.\n\nForensic evidence is good enough to execute people in America for alleged crimes but it becouse junk science when used to debunk the holocaust myths. Lechter was not the only one to perform forensic scinec on the so -called gas chambers . read the links below and find the real truth for the cover up of the billion dollar holocaust industry.\n\nFact is history has proven it never happened. Laws in certain contries make it a crime punishable by up to 3 years in jail for holocaust denile. Ifthe holocaust is so evident then why are there laws protecting any questioning of it? IT is a crime in some of these countries to even defend ones self from holocaust denile and a lawyer can be charged also if he submits any evidence to debunk the holocaust. IT a win win situation for the Jews in charge of this phony court in certain countries. It s insane and has the mind of a delusional mentally defunct government under the control of mentally ill government.\n\nShinlers list is listed in the Library of Congress as "fictional" yet the Jewish media in America tout it as truth. Anne Frank only wrote about a chapter and a hlif of her diary and the rest was peened by several (6-10) other unknown peoples. This would most certainly make one believe the diary is a fake and at most a fable or myth perpetrated by unknown people to support a holocaust.\n\nToture is never acceptable that is why most of it is amyth and is documented as such. That is why it never happened and most of what we hear about the so-called holocaust is pure propaganda.\n\nRead the links below and begin to learn to question the greatest hoax in all of history. Why is it a hoax? Because if it were discoverd as such it would destroy the billion dollar industry that most of its perpetrators of mis-truth rely upon for their own survival. \n\nHowever, and intelligent human would be able to decide for themselves so it is imparative to learn both sides and form ons own opinion. Read the links below and learn how history is distorted and changed to bennifit a few.

First, it is spelled "Holocaust."\n\nThere are two conflicting version on it. According to the one popularized in the English-speaking world, the Holocaust was carried out in a systematic manner by Hitler and the German secret police, state police and army since the start of the war. According to this version, six million Jews died.\n\nThe other version is more current among other countries, including Asian, Eastern European and Latin American countries: the Holocaust happened during the last year of the war, when the German army was retreating in all fronts and they didn't have enough effectives to take care of the prisoners held in concentration camps. So the thousands of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, etc. who died did so because no one could give them food or water.\n\nIn this version, the total number of dead was under the million, and the total number of Jews who died was between 100,000 and 600,000.\n\nSeveral details support the second theory: the statistics from the World Almanacs of those years report a population of about nine million Jews in Europe before the start of the war. The totals reported in 1949 and after still report similar numbers. In certain regions, mostly the Soviet Union, the increase was significant. The difference corresponds to the increase in Jewish people in both the UK and the USA.\n\nIn fact, comparing the numbers from the census of 1935-1939 with those obtained in 1949-1952, it is impossible that the numbers of Jews killed during WW2 could have been greater than a million. Not even an extreme change in their birth rates could justify that.\n\nAnother little piece of evidence comes from pictures of the concentration camps: the supposed gas chambers, that were fashioned as showers, are not hermetically sealed buildings. In order to asphyxiate/poison thousands of people with cyanide pellets dropped through vents, you needed a way to seal the chambers. That way was not found.\n\nThe ovens were used to process the dead. Considering the elevated numbers of dead people from the camps once food and water stopped arriving, it is understandable that the guards tried to get rid of the bodies as soon as possible, in order to prevent the spread of disease (what would affect them as well).\n\nThe Holocaust was horrific, even though its magnitude has been greatly exaggerated in English-speaking countries. One cannot justify that something like that could be done by people to other people.
