please and thank you!

also- no im not a n**i- lol- i would like to know what happned in european history- sorry if it offends you.

Answer 1

Good response to whoever insulted you.  I suggest you go to Wikipedia to research Himmler.  There will be links to other important figures and their references.  You might also look at the Wikipedia entry for Hitler because there might be other important figures you should read about there.  It's the best place to start.  

Answer 2

Well it seems like that guy was trying to defend Hitler, who was the leader of Germany at the time and therefore responsible for the actions of the n***s.  It's perfectly understandable that people who belong to the groups he was attempting to exterminate would be offended when someone tries to defend Hitler.  As for your comment about Jewish people being especially sensitive about it, that is due to the fact that the Holocaust isn't the first project aimed at exterminating the Jews.  Various groups of people have been discriminating against the Jews or even attempting to rid the planet of them for pretty much the entirety of Jewish history!  Look at the pogroms carried out in Russia for example.  Though those didn't kill nearly as many people as were killed in the Holocaust, their original intent WAS to kill every Jewish person.  Take a Jewish History course.  It's amazing what you'll learn.  I think the Jews are just sick and tired of everyone trying to kill them off, which is why they would fly off the handle over something like this.

Answer 3

here is the deal according to history and gods word

hitler and the rest were worshipers of the beast and the false profit  involved in human sacrifice and eating human flesh and thev war against god and his chosen and holy people now hitler was able to do the damage he did because of the forsaking of gods law so when the united states of america got involved who keep the commandments of god and the covenent promise which is the pledge of allegience we kicked his but or the butt of the false profit and the beast and so today you have america forsaking the law of god and transgressing thier covienant with god and so we begin to fall before our enemys as did the jews

so the way to get back to triumphant living in peace even with those who hate us is to return to keeping the commandments of god hey i am gods messanger

and he says if you repent he will forgive you and if not it is the sword famine pestilence and fire and sword which is every mans  hand against every man even the fathers against the children and vice versa

Answer 4

You can simply google it.

How can you conclude he was trying to deny it. He was asking a question about 'History' in history section. Everyone is free to express their opinions and in many cases even I don't like the opinion, holocaust denial being one of them, everyone is simply entitled.

It is the biggest mistake to actually trying to eliminate the dissent. It is better they ask even if they deny it than use the opposition to spread propaganda, which seems to be norm on many forums, and one of the arguments used is why don't they let us speak about the truth.

Even  if somebody completely denies the holocaust it is our job to reply, not to censor but reply. Even if it is useless trying to argue with such person, it is not important just to reply, but to make sure people who are reading his/her arguments are aware of the truth and counter arguments. You can never eliminate disdain, and it is simply counterproductive. You tackle the issue head on.

The sensitivity from Jews is understandable, it was systematic & intentional elimination of a particular group. I remember somebody saying if it wasn't for antisemitism throughout centuries, holocaust never would've happened. Eleven Million people dies during the holocaust, Six million Jews. No one condemned the Armenian Genocide, and it said that Hitler simply thought he would also get away with it.

However other atrocities mustn't be forgotten either, Stalin killed 25 Million people, 6 Million in Ukraine by deliberate man made famine. Mao is responsible for 30-35 Million. Pol Pot, Rwanda, Bosnia & now in Darfur. Patterns are similar.

Answer 5

The subject of the Holocaust is still a highly emotive subject - and questioning it is generally the prelude to an anti-Semitic rant.

Himmler was a former chicken farmer who was very squeamish, and one of the most brutal murderers in history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Hi...

The SS were originally Hitler's private army - they were supposed to be 'racially pure'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaff...

The Holocaust was the worst murder in history - at least 6million dead, murder on an industrial scale, with death factories across the Reich.

Answer 6

Start with Wiki but DON'T do stuff like type in Himmler in the search bar--You don't want to link to the actual n**i/white supremacist sides, since they're loaded with computer viruses.
