Most people accept that six million Jews were victims of this atrocity. seems like a rather exact number to me. I suppose its possible that Germans killed precisely 6000000 Jews. Germans are known for their precision in automobiles, watches, and so on... similar preciseness regarding death camps is possible, rather than the number being an approximate estimate gave by one of the convicted and executed killers.
Or you could actually do some research and find out that the number isn't rounded off by the collators, but by those that regurgitate it. The number rests around
5,709,329. Which is likely why the industrious round it up to 6 mil.
I'm not sure I'd like to question this precise number given that examining this subject closely can lead to criminal persecution in many countries...
Except the one you're in, so why are you trying to make a big deal about it? Oh ya, I remember now.
The Holocaust should be taught. If we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
How true, and I've always found it odd that people like yourself use that quote, while you oft ignore historical fact and contemporary evidence.
Seems contradictory. How is it possible that "the Jews were singled out" while the "Slavs were also on that listing"??
That's simple. Kind of like how you claim to be against war crimes and crimes against humanity. While you devote the majority of your energy and focus to a singular group, who's actual war crimes and crimes against humanity, pale in comparison to other monumental contemporary atrocities.
BTW, does denying that Slavs were on that list also lead to jail time?
Nope, and neither does denying Jews was on that list.
The Roma appear also to be singled out. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't denying the Roma were singled out for extermination just a misdemeanor in Canada. Its just a fine right, no serious prison time like there is for denying Jewish extermination?
There's no such law in Canada fear monger.
What I have a hard time understanding is why the didn't Roma get a country too. Aren't there lots of lands without people for people without land that the Roma where they could occupied by only killing hundreds of people and displacing a few thousand? Seems unfair for the Roma. Then again, millions of people are not plotting to kill the Roma, so maybe they are better off. Although Jerusalem is very beautiful:
They're nomads. Should we give the Bedouin your back yard too?
I'll go with precisely 6000000, since other numbers can lead to jail time.
Still pushing that one eh fear monger?
I agree but only if you do not mind being raked over the coals by some on here who would rather shoot you or call you a Jooooo hater for doing so or being dragged up before the so called Human Rights Commission.
You think people get raked over the coals and called Jooo haters for merely questioning history?
Wow, you people really do selectively read whats said eh. How about people who ignore documented history, proven facts, undeniable evidence and reality. Instead choosing to believe convoluted opinion, conspiracies, anecdotal evidence and pure tripe, so that they never have to face the fact that they are wrong.
Those people that get raked over the coals, called Joo haters and all manner of appropriate names, are called so, because they are just that. Something of which I have actually sat down and proven on many occasions, when my use of said "Names" was challenged and questioned.
Cliffy, if you want to argue the numbers that died in the holocaust, by all means, pick up the gauntlet. I'd be more then willing to listen and discuss. Hell, even I question the validity of the 6 mil figure, and it would ludicrous to call me a Joo hater.
That should be the first clue that your statement is erroneous at best.
There are many issues that have been completely misrepresented by the press and other media, the G20 fiasco in TO is one of that comes to mind.
I couldn't agree more, the hype and hyperbole about the Gestapo like Cops and the allegations of brutallity, were completely misrepresented in the press.
