Holocaust denial

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The previous thread on this subject was not salvageable as it was, but a thread to discuss the topic of Holocaust denial and the motivations of those who deny the facts is appropriate for the History forum, and a search failed to reveal an older existing thread on the topic.

too long; but since I'm the mod for this board, did read

As for why Know Nothingism gets short shrift in U.S. History classes, I suspect that being one of the precursors of the Republican Party may have something to do with it.  Indeed, the paramilitary Wide Awakes the Know Nothings had in 1856 had by 1860 considerably expanded into the Wide Awakes of the Republican Party.  The Wide Awakes were to some degree comparable to the Nazi SA, complete with their own torchlight parades.



Of course, you can draw comparisons out too much, and the Republicans were far from the only party organization in 1860 to have a paramilitary element attached to it.

I'm honestly curious to hear holocaust deniers explain where 6 million Jews mysteriously vanished to.

It wasn't just Jews in the Holocaust. Most of the victims were Jewish, but there were millions of non-Jews. People don't give the non-Jews attention.

There were ofc gypsies\communists\slavs\homosexual and such, but as a portion of the holocaust (death camps and organized slaughter) they were a minority to Jews. many more died across the German controlled territories sporadically. That's what sets up apart the victims of the holocaust and the general victims of Nazi rule

No it doesn't.  The only reason more Jews died at the hands of the Nazis than did Romani is that they had more Jews to kill.  The Nazis wanted to exterminate both groups.

I included Romani with the Jews as victims of the holocaust...we can assume that with more gypsies the Nazis might have had a final solution especially for them but that will be after all a speculation

Might?  MIGHT!?!  They did!  There's no need to speculate.  There are parts of Europe where the Romani were so completely exterminated that any Romani there today are immigrants from elsewhere.  The Brown Triangle was just as much a part of the Holocaust as the Yellow Star.
