You guys are nothing if not predictable.

It must’ve been brutal when those armed men barged into your home/office/mother’s basement and forced you to click on this link.

Donald calls it a “kazoo?”

We all see what you’re doing here, and it’s intellectually phony, especially on this day, which is a celebration of a specifically African American civil rights leader.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I read every word, and it was beautiful and utterly heartbreaking.

Sounds to me like an #alllivesmatter

Right back at you. You’re both despicable, and an ignoramus who treats an attempt at factual accuracy as an effort to ignore non-Jewish victims. Go ahead and point to anything I said that’s factually inaccurate, or claimed that people who weren’t Jewish weren’t part of the Holocaust. You can’t.

I don’t “indict” him; I’m simply stating where the number came from. Wiesenthal admitted himself that he made up the number because he thought it would be helpful, because he thought nobody would pay attention unless a large number of non-Jews were included. Since then, a lot of people have spent a lot of time…

Fuck you. The statement made — 11 million dying in death camps — was obviously false. It’s so gross that you choose to disregard that. See all the links and explanations I’ve posted elsewhere. Of course I include genocidal mass murders of people who weren’t Jewish (Roma, the disabled, and others) in the Holocaust.

Your knowledge of the subject is very obviously fairly vast (at least for a non-historian) and so to be treated with so little consideration by him (they are indeed in fact a man) is although not surprising in the least, it’s pretty disappointing. Thanks for your replies to him though, I learned new things from what…

I have no idea if the person in question is a man. But whoever it is, they are remarkably stubborn about trying to justify their original statement. But what do I know? I’m just the daughter of a survivor who’s spent most of my life reading about, and trying to understand, what happened to my mother and her family…

Again, all those components don’t really add up remotely to 11 million — an arbitrary number (see the link I posted on its origin) which an awful lot of after-the-fact effort has been expended to justify — unless you start including components which don’t actually amount to genocide, like POWS who died in camps and…

Woman knows more about a subject than man and calls him out for it. Man refuses to accept new information or be flexible in views, disregards woman’s repeated attempts to get through to him...more breaking news at 5!

Hardly a serious source (which doesn’t cite its own sources), and in any event that certainly isn’t what the USHMM says. Note that the USHMM doesn’t actually say that Soviet POWs who died — including the 50,000 Jewish POWS who died — were victims of the Holocaust per se. And it doesn’t include those 50,000 as part…

Now you’re being even more ridiculous. The USHMM does not count deaths in POW camps (including the 50,000 Jews who died in them) as part of the Holocaust; nor does anything at that link — which I cited myself — support your claim of 11 million murdered in death camps. See also my citation above to an explanation of…

That’s an asinine comment. Nobody considers the POW camps part of the Holocaust, or as death camps, or as part of a intentional plan of industrialized genocide of all the men, women, and children of a particular race or religion (as with Jews and Roma). Shall we now count all the combat deaths and deaths of…

I cited the same USHMM exact source below. I was commenting about deaths in camps, which was the claim.

There’s a link at http://www.desiquintans.com/oldblog/231 to Vasily Grossman’s account of Treblinka, written in 1944, one of the very first accounts of a death camp. Grossman was a journalist with the Soviet army when the remains of Treblinka were discovered. For strong stomachs only, especially for the detailed…

They also tried to eradicate all traces of Treblinka after an uprising there. But bones and ash and little bits of people’s possessions were still bubbling up from the ground when it rained as long as 60 years later.
