The nizkor link is nothing but a hypothetic response to whether or not it is possible to commit mass gas murder. Which the videos in my link says yes, through a simple machine that produces carbon monoxide and nothing else is really needed, however the holocaust stories talk about hauling Russian U-boats and submarines in order to pump in diesel gas. And while I give you that Zyklon-B has cyanide in it, there is residue still visible in the disenfectant rooms of the camp, and not in the gas chambers. So theory aside, the forensic evidence point to Zyklon-B being used as a disenfectant.

Sorry, that sentence does leave a lot to be desired.. This article says that before they had ventilation units the doors had to be opened to 'air out', wouldnt that kill any germans. Too many discrepancies for me to believe everything happened th way they say???

Yeah, I've always envisioned that there is a very special place in hell for Deniers. Even lower than defense lawyers, who know their client did the crime, but enjoy the challenge.

Where are the stories from the Holocaust of mass break outs and riots ? I know for a fact if I saw my mother and sister going into a gas chamber I would not sit around and go quietly into the night.
Surely if there were 6 million that would constitute a possible army of 1 million fit and able Jewish men ? 1 million would be enough to over run any German camp and retake your women and children back if horrific things were happenign to them.
To sit back and watch 6 million of my countrymen die and not fight back would indicate something to you wouldn't it ? I ask you this...if you looked at me whilst I walked to my death and turned away, did nothing, knew that was your fate, still did nothing then what kind of person are you ? no I don't think people enmasse would do this.
I think there were no mass insurrections because the camps were in fact detention camps for the homeless and displaced. I think some 100's of thousands did perish no doubt but due to dysentery and diseases. The Germans were guilty of neglect and not caring for these peoples and for this they deserved to be punished I have no doubt, but don't lie to me about crap that is so easily dismissed as fabrication.
Fabrication = testimony of people at the Nuremberg trials were it was claimed a Nazi Guard ripped a child in half, you try that with even a cat and you will see its lies. The simple fact why would you use Zyklon B to kill people when it was designed to kill fleas and when a simple piping of a trucks exhaust into the chamber would of been much cheaper and easier to accomplish the alleged mass death.
No sir I think something is wrong with the fact we cannot even debate this without being thrown in jail in certain countries, I ask you to consider that the facts are not as the main stream portrays to us and to forget your alignments and racial alliances and consider for a minute other lies we have been told about history. Then you will conclude as I have, trust only that which you see with your own eyes and suspect everything that has a Country attached to it.

My Grandmere is 91 so she can't reply to this thread in person but I will relate her stories to you. She was in occupied France.
-She saw the Jews being rounded up and taken away, she saw them throwing notes and letters, pleading with anyone to contact friends and relatives for them.
-She has one of the star of David patches the Jews were forced to wear.
-Her brother was taken away by the Germans to work in a labor camp. He escaped and upon doing so the Germans showed up at her home to beat her father (my great grandfather) in hopes he would reveal the location of his son. He didn't know anything but that didn't stop the beatings. My Grandmeres brother had joined the underground and didn't return home until the Germans left.
-One one occasion my Grandmere and a friend were forced to shine shoes all night at the local SS office because a German officer thought they had refered to him as "ugly".
While none of this is "proof" per se, I have no doubt that a great evil was brought upon the Jewish people. So deny all you like if it lets you sleep better.
Oh not that it matters but I'm not Jewish.

I think Holocaust denial is unnecessary.
It's easy to see that things like the Holocaust has happened many times in the past.
In fact, the Japanese killings of Asians during WWII resulted in 20-30 million deaths and half a century of technological setbacks.
It happened, but you know what? People shouldn't take advantage of it. If the Jews really hate the Germans, they would throw nukes at Germany.
Yeah, might as well...
They've already showed so much propaganda down their throats that pretty much every German hates himself...
Yeah, I think it's time they put the Germans out of their misery, just like Einstein once suggested...

I've held my tongue for a while now, but your stupidity is beginning to annoy me. If you would please go and do some research about the operation of Gas Chambers at Death Camps you would be well aware that, after the gassing of the prisoners in the chamber, ventilation doors/windows/ports would be opened for a period of time to allow the gas to disperse; after this point in time, the Sonderkommando would be sent in to remove the bodies and then salvage from them whatever could be used.
You are entitled to your opinion concerning the holocaust (despite the literal wall of historical evidence against your opinion), but for the sake of the rest of us, please at least use some common sense and do some research before you go scrutinising irrelevant minutiae - irrelevant facts which you are also misinformed about.

All good, valid, points. But none deals with the question of, if this was done to jews, gypsies, homosexuals, Christians, etc. then how did it become a JEWISH holocaust?

Really not posting to argue the validity of the Holocaust, but I do continually wonder why all of the other victims of the camps are ignored.
First, Germany attacking Jews was not original. It was a popular spectator sport in eastern Europe for a 1000 years before Hitler. Got the plague get rid of the jews, crops failed get rid of jews. Nothing original by the Germans. The Jews were complicit in the succuess of the Bolshevik revolution(note how history doesn't mention the Jewish purge from the communist party after Lenin gained power). So along with history,the Red scare and their actions against the German people in the Weimar years it wasn't hard to make Jews into scapegoats.
For the record as stated previously. The Japs killed at least 10,000,000 Chinese and others, Stalin murdered at least 30,000,000 in Russia, Mao killed at least 50,000,000 Chinese and as recently as 1976 Pol Pot in Cambodia murdered around 3,000,000. Someday we will get numbers from North Korea and Kim that will really be interesting. I'd also like to see the totals murdered by the Jews in Palestine another number we don't talk about. If anyone thinks that 500,000 Palestinians moved out into a tent refugee camp in the desert because Ariel Sharon asked them nicely, then you must also believe in "Hope & Change".
In short, the point has been espoused so much that it doesn't matter, it is just a number to continue victimization for the Zionist agenda. The whole idea we now have a term Denier to eliminate discourse is only part of the agenda.
Of more concern is the denial of the fact that communist regimes have murdered orders of magnitude more people that any fascists. No fascists have been in power since 1945 and yet the worst name anyone can be called is Nazi, despite the fact that Stalin and Mao made Hitler look like an amatuer. The fact that being called a communist is less derogatory than being called a Nazi is what is really scary.

Zionism was actively supported by the SS, the Gestapo and Adolf Hitler.
Between 1933 and 1942 there existed an organized a network of 40 camps throughout Germany where prospective Jewish settlers were trained for their new lives in Palestine. These German funded "Kibbutz" training camps were run by Zionists. When the emigrants left for Palestine they were permitted to take all their wealth with them.
This was the direct result of an agreement between Zionists and Germany, whereby Jews would be encouraged to settle in Palestine, Madagascar, or other areas denoted by the Zionist group.
Through this "Transfer" agreement, Hitler's Germany did more than any other government to support Jewish nationalism and further Zionist goals.
Other Jewish groups sabotaged the agreement when they successfully caused Palestine, Britain, the US and other European countries all to refuse entry to the Jewish emigrants. Many ships were sent back to Germany from Palestine, the UK and the US for this reason.
THE "FINAL SOLUTION"
Many Zionists of that era openly supported Nazism and encouraged Adolf Hitler to send his "Unwanted Jews" to British Palestine / Israel.
Adolf was delighted to cooperate. By encouraging Jewish emigration more than two-thirds of Germany's Jews emigrated voluntarily in a peaceful process whereby they were permitted to take their wealth with them. Compared to previous pogroms against Jews this was relatively civilized and painless. What Germany considered their "Jewish Problem" was two-thirds solved - peacefully - by the time war broke out, but Jewish emigration to Israel was stopped by Britain who was having political trouble with different Jewish pressure groups.
Many Zionists were delighted with the German collaboration process and made suggestions to the Nazis to help speed up the process, such as forcing Jews in Germany to wear the star of David - a Zionist innovation. The more pressure German Jews felt, the more would emigrate to Israel, so the theory went. The end result (and proposed "Final Solution")was the resettlement of Jews in Palestine and elsewhere.
After other countries stopped accepting Jews from German held territories, Adolf had many of the remaining European Jews incarcerated and deported to the east, but continued to seek other destinations for them. Other countries, such as the US and Brittain, were persuaded not to accept Jewish emigrants from Germany. International Jewish lobby groups had implemented this refusal policy throughout Allied and neutral countries.
"It is remarkable that the states whose public opinion is in favour of the Jews all refuse to accept our Jews from us. They say they are magnificent pioneers of culture, and geniuses in economics, diplomacy, philosophy, and poetry, yet the moment we try to press one of these geniuses upon them, they clamp down their frontiers: ‘No, no! We don’t want them!’ I think it must be unique in the history of the world, people turning down geniuses." - Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels

"Holocaust" implies death by fire.
That is simply a linguistic interpretation. The term Holocaust was in use before World War two and aside from the linguistic interpretation that you have given it is generally used to refer to massive, organized destruction of groups of people.
"Holocaust" as understodd by historians today does not mean "death by fire". It denotes the whole of the campaign of the Nazis against the Jews.
So I ask, if germany was losing the war, and supplies were running thin...who do you think would have been given a higher priority for receiving food, their soldiers or their prisoners?
This is not a question of "imagening something". The documents are there. The germans didn't just give the food allocated to the inmates to the soldiers. They had a complex rationing system. The soldiers got most, forced laborers got some, and people selected for extermination did not get anything. The situation where they had to decide "us or them" just never appeared; they needed the forced labor just as much as they needed their soldiers. The options to just allocate the food for inmates to the guards was not pursuable since the forced laborors were in need of food and their work was deemed just as "Kriegsentscheidend" as feeding the combat troops. So the point is pretty moot. The allocation system never came to the point were they said "now just feed the soldiers" - this is clear from testimony of survivors, of soldiers, and it is in the documents of the third Reich itself.
If germany imprisoned people against their will and failed to take care of them, I see that as a different event than deliberately attempting to exterminate a race.
But both being the case was impossible? You do understand that there were hierarchies among inmates? That some were selected for gassing and others deemed fit to work?
The plan was never to just exterminate them. The plan was to kill them by using their labor. But the great schemes they had in mind never played out. Forced labor and extermination were seen as 2 sides of a coin - and thorugh military necessity the plan changed from year to year. It's not a simple story.
They started out with the idea that the Jews and Russian prisoners would build the infrastructure of the new East-Reich. They never got to that point. They let most Russian soldiers starve and used the Rest as well as the Jews for forced labor. But since the jews were going to be exterminated in the long run anyways, they selected all Jews unfit for forced labor for immediate extermination. The rest was thought to be worked to death. Then the war fortunes changed. The emphasis shifted a bit. There were many voices who by 1944 said that killing the Jews was wasting their labor - and they were proven right - the Germans had to drastically increase their recruitment of non-jewish foreigners for labor - forced and other.
It's not a black and white issue. The Jews were not simply "all gassed" - that was never the plan.
I don't see any contradiction. No one has ever claimed that each and every deported Jews was gassed or burned. The term "Holocaust" was never used that narrowly - at least not among historians.
