http://www.dresden.de/media/pdf/presseamt/Erklaerung_Historikerkommission.pdf since that thing's in german, i'll quote from a newspaper article on it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/world-war-2/7470248/Nazis-exaggerated-Dresden-death-toll-German-historians-conclude.html note that the significantly lower casualty figures do not make the bombing less of a tragedy, but since you like accuracy, it should be remembered that the pendulum swings both ways . . .
if all that had been done was for one family to be taken and gassed that would be enough for me to consider it wrong are the exact numbers all that important? one million? six million? can they ever be known? can they ever be understood? you seem to be ignoring the fact that plenty of non-jews were put to death as well . . .
So what about the international red cross writing about a TOTAL number of less than 300000? Are they not telling the truth?
from the ever-lovin' wikipedia: btw i've talked to zundel on the phone and can vouch for his complete and utter lack of objectivity - the man is [was?] vile
:iagree: Well all I know is that I have personally seen over a couple of dozen tattoos over the years on the forearms of people who were lucky enough to have survived and have heard first hand stories of life in the camps from people who were actually there. It happened, it was real, and anybody that declares otherwise is a liar or very delusional.
"hey, international aid peoples, I've been killing a bunch of people that you probably didn't know about, and it's kinda hush hush, so I'd appreciate if you didn't go blabbing to the allies, but I've sort of killed 6 million jews and 11 million other people. your pal, hitler"
HOLY HELL. EXACTLY. I mean yeah, the Holocaust (If it was real, i was not born around that time.) was pretty fucking terrible. But equally or even worse things have happened than that, but everyone shoves it down your throat. People are obsessed with what happened. In my old school, you would take half a year of your history class every year to talk about the holocaust, read Anne Frank's diary, and jam the dates into your head every time. They don't change a thing. Yes, it does help for kids to understand you can't just pursecue people for their race/beliefs/etc. but why don't we hear things about Stalin or other people who have acted in Genocide? What about America? Did we not do the same to the Native Americans on their OWN LAND?
very true. same reason why i thought school was BS, and stopped going. only to find myself in the court system a month later getting taken out of my house simply because i didnt want to waste my time.
That's just stupid. If i were you i would've just switched to homeschooling. That's what i'm doing right now and it's working quite well.
gee, if we all homeschooled then we wouldn't have to learn about that dumb old holocaust or anything we didn't want to or anything at all [posted on the 66th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz]
Hitler's regime was 65+ years ago. People need to get the fuck over it. Hell, look at what the Jews are doing to the Palestinians. Not much difference. Very similar. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
really? i was unaware that the israeli government was gassing palestinian families i simply must get a television . . .
