jodles discovered 21 months ago- i gave this a thumbs up because it's an article that counters the douchebags who claim the holocaust never happened. it makes me sick. i dont even understand how someone can claim it never happened. there is so much firsthand proof, mainly in the survivors. ask my grandparents, seriously. they were in a camp in poland, and while they don't have numbers on their arms, they have plenty of stories from the camp. luckily they survived, because they lost most of their families to the nazis. ask my hebrew school teacher. ask steven spielberg, and even ask the freaken nazis. they'll tell you IT HAPPENED. the "revisionists" should all go to hell. they should die a slow and painful death, like most of the 6 million jews who died. i know that's a harsh statement, but it's coming from someone who is so affected by the holocaust. and to anyone who is anti-semitic (except most anti-semites probably wouldnt read my page), just remember that jesus was born jewish, died jewish, and followed jewish law all of his life. he was one of us. and no, you can't pick us out on the street (except for the orthodox, but that's another story), and we don't have horns. we are actually a pretty cool people. we are told we are supposed to get drunk. we encourage (married) sex, and we are taught to be nice to people who aren't jewish. yeah, that's a law too. we have excellent food, and fun holidays (well, mostly). we celebrate nature, and are good to each other. we have a great sense of humor, and we trust and love our rabbis. so what if our moms are crazy and nag a lot (mine fits that description). it's because they love us. i love being jewish, and wouldn't have it any other way. . whew. i went off on a tangent. don't think anyone will make it this far, but if you did, thanks for listening i needed to get that out. needed to get out some jew-love.

" One of the most notable anti-Semitic propaganda movements to develop over the past two decades has been the organized effort to deny or minimize the established history of Nazi genocide against the Jews. In the United States, the movement has been known in recent years primarily through the publication of editorial-style advertisements in college campus newspapers. The first of these ads claimed to call for "open debate on the Holocaust"; it purported to question not the fact of Nazi anti-Semitism, but merely whether this hatred resulted in an organized killing program. A more recent ad has questioned the authenticity of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. These ads have been published in several dozen student newspapers on campuses across the country. Similar propaganda has established a beachhead on the computer Internet. In addition to creating their own home pages, Holocaust deniers have sometimes "crashed" the sites of legitimate Holocaust and Jewish discussion groups in a blatant effort at anti, Jewish provocation and self-promotion. Additionally, Holocaust deniers have advertised their Web sites by purchasing innocuous-sounding, inconspicuous classified ads in college and community newspapers. These paid advertisements and Internet activities have been a national phenomenon since 1991. Though there is no evidence that they have persuaded large numbers of students to doubt the settled record of events which comprise the Holocaust, their appearance has generated acrimony and has frequently caused friction between Jewish and non-Jewish students. This is precisely the intent of the Holocaust deniers: by attacking the facts of the Holocaust, and by framing this attack as merely an unorthodox point of view, their propaganda insinuates subtle but hateful anti-Semitic beliefs of Jews as exploiters of non-Jewish guilt and Jews as controllers of academia or the media. These beliefs, in fact, bear comparison to the preachings which brought Hitler to power in prewar Germany. This pamphlet has been designed to provide a brief summary of the propaganda campaign known as Holocaust "revisionism," or Holocaust denial. What follows is (1) a "Q&A" description of the movement, its history, and its leading activists, as well as a review of legal and scholarly responses to this propaganda; (2) a summary of the movement's most common allegations, with brief factual responses, and (3) a selection of quotes by the leading propagandists, demonstrating their anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi agendas. It is highly unlikely that this report will dissuade the Holocaust deniers from their mendacious and hateful campaign. But this information should provide students and educators with the facts to make informed decisions and vigorous responses to these bigoted lies." The Holocaust happened. It happened. Anyone who denies it is deranged.
