"I have never heard an American Jew say "Thanks for what you did for us". It's always pummeling the rest of us with undeserved "guilt" about what happened."

This is an insightful comment in light of the fact no American Jews were killed in the holocaust and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum was built and dedicated in Washington DC before any monument to the American servicemen who lost their lives fighting the Nazis was erected in the nation's capital. How the costs of maintaining this morbid infotainment cum shrine to European Jewry has shifted over the years from Jewish philanthropic groups to US taxpayers is a story you won't be reading about anytime soon.

My copy of the 2007 Directory of the Association of Holocaust Organizations listing research institutes, education centers, leagues, foundations, councils, committees, museums, and charitable organizations in America is 248 pages long. These are all tax deductible, often partially funded with public subsidies, monuments to the mass murder of people who never even lived in the United States let alone contributed to it's founding or two centuries of growth.

Henry, the "Holocaust" is too big a money maker to not remain a wedge driven through Western society. I grant that the Nazis did terrible things: my father (class of '41) did his part to stop whatever Hitler's grand scheme was (along with many more of his classmates who never came back), but I have to say, in my 50+ years, I have never heard an American Jew say "Thanks for what you did for us". It's always pummeling the rest of us with undeserved "guilt" about what happened. My child was subjected to 6 weeks of "holocaust education" in grammar school under the guise of "we must never forget", however if any lone researcher or historian comes forth with new evidence that collides with the establishment account of the Holocaust, his career is destroyed, if not his life. While our kids grow up trained to be hypersensitive to Jewish suffering, we languish in ignorance of the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, Magna Carta, while we slouch towards a totalitarian police state. And btw, wikipedia is definitely not the "final word" on any hotly debated current topic.

Henry, there are those who believe that the number of German civilians,who died unjustly was around 35,000. No,they did not in fact die in any gas chambers,yet it was a crime if these people died just because they had a handicap,by the way,as you know,the Spartans in ancient Greece with all their philosophy killed only God knows how many for practically the same reason.That is were wisdom of the flesh can lead to in a highly civilized society. We may not want to know how many people have ever been killed by their own kind and it will never be known,since some officials are sloppy record keepers. The world knows,too,that the same thing goes on in China and other countries daily.

Holocaust doubters and deniers have won the day,in spite of what motivated them,there was no holocaust of Jews in WWll.There is just too too much out there,and still coming out,plus some of the exposure was well underway in the late 40's already. Rassinier,a Jew was there at Aushwitz,and wrote some of the early and best stuff. Eisenhower and Churchill biographies have not mentioned the word for years and years.

The holocaust so-called was and is used to terrorize the unsuspecting Jews. Some believe,who are not Jewish, that the single most important thing that holds world Jewry together as a frame of refernce is the holocaust so-called of WWll.

Stephen,

Yes and WW2 was a picnic and Auschwitz a country club.

My parents were in Germany and Poland during WW2. They knew about the genocide at the time. They didn't need to read Churchill after the war to find out about it. I don't need to depend on books.

Re; Nazi "Euthanasia" Was Precedent for Holocaust

I realize you actually believe this tired, outdated war propaganda, but isn't it about time we let the dead rest, whether some of them were gassed or not?

Everyone who ever lived has died, or will die, many horribly, but even if these stories from WW2 are true, how can one group pretend that IT'S suffering matters more than any other? What about the other 50 million victims? Don't they matter too? What about the estimated 100 million Russians murdered by Jewish communists? What about Armenia? What about the estimated 6 million victims of the Irish famine? What about the Palestinians today?

The Auschwitz "gas chamber" was built AFTER the war, and wouldn't have worked anyway. It is also said that to cremate 6,000,000 bodies in just two years would have taken 1,200 crematoria working 24 hours a day. Is that expenditure of vital fuel even feasible when a country is at war?

I wasn't born until after the war, so I'm not qualified to say what happened, or what didn't happen, but I'm sick of the ever-increasing barrage of pointless war propaganda from a war that ended 65 years ago. Will it ever end? There are said to be more "survivors" now than there were at the time. How can that be?

It wasn't my war. I never killed anyone, and I never will, so why should I be bombarded with non-stop war propaganda after all this time? Whatever may or may not have happened back then, IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

We all lost relatives in that banker-instigated war, but you don't hear me forever whining and demanding reparations. Perhaps it's time certain people learned to let go and grow up. It's over. It's been over for a very long time.

Please don't take this personally Henry. I have a great deal of respect for you and your good work, and I nearly always find your writings of value. It's just that I'm so sick of all the tired old stories about "Jewish suffering" when the Jews themselves are inflicting terrible atrocities on the Semitic Palestinians, and anybody else who dares question their imagined superiority to God and man, that I felt I had to respond.

Today's Jews are NOT Semites. The Arabs are.

Barney,

No one is blaming you, nor is this article intended to gain sympathy or reparations.
It addresses the specific claim that the Nazis didn't use gas chambers.

I deplore the Zionist use of the holocaust for political advantage, especially since they had a part in bringing the Nazis to power and collaborating with them.

But people who whitewash the Nazis do the cause of human dignity a disservice.
