In War the first casualty is- Truth! both sides of any major conflict aim for morale reasons, to show the enemy in the worst possible light. There are many unanswered questions about the Holocaust. even the promoters tend to avoid anything resembling a Veterans memorial tablet- albeit this is different than normal war death rolls. It seems very hard to swallow that about 6.7 Million Jews alone were killed by the Holocaust- there is very rarely any attempt to break this down statistically among the various prison camps. One might hasten to add there are too many survivors- and their stories conflict- Both sides have their stories- Certainly it happened- and on a Gross Scale- But- we cannot ignore factual distortions.

ViviNo, it really happened.
Anyone who thinks that the Holocaust is some hoax is a truly uneducated, ignorant person also known as a "Holocaust denier".
In response to the above:
Just as agnostics, on average, know more about a given religion than self-proclaimed adherents, holocaust agnostics are generally more knowledgeable about the sanctioned holocaust narrative than self-proclaimed holocaust believers. Please note: claims made by people with superior intelligence and/or expert knowledge in a subject are not automatically true; they are, however, worth examining, regardless of how heretical such claims may be in a given place and time.
For a relevant (and uniquely eloquent) talk on this subject, it may be enlightening to see the recording of a lecture given by the late Christopher Hitchens at Hart House, University of Toronto, on November 15, 2006, titled "Defending Free Speech." The full speech (about 20 minutes long) can be found on YouTube.
In seeking the truth, worry not what others think. Truth is not a matter of popular opinion.
"Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus"
