You pick "A handsome man" from the text of that statement. I don't get it. What is questionable about that?
That man was Jewish.
Thus, it is impossible for him to have been handsome. If you believe that Jews look like the Nazi caricatures, that is.

The bottom line is that the scenarios the big Dog explained require responsibility and trust. Two behaviors that are not possible under the "intolerable" conditions the Germans are said to have made the norm in the camps.
I concede some of the points made by revisionists that history may have been doctored to make some cases look much worse than they really were. IOW perhaps some of the gas chambers that were documented as "evidence" in actuality were not really gas chambers but showers or delousing rooms. I can see how in history mistakes are made, false ideas built up into cultural truths etc. And I can see how urban legends are born and how difficult it is to get people to look at the facts.
However the Holocaust as an attempted genocide against the Jews cannot be denied,
it did not start in the gas chambers, for many it ended there. But the laws that came into play years before the war took off, make it clear that there was a deliberate and violent aim to "get rid of the Jews" by death or other means. Death being the cheapest during a war seems to have been the go to choice.
For a revisionist to deny this just smacks of willful ignorance. When that goes on in a discussion I just stop wasting my time.

Yes to your first point. Many of the "gas chambers" that are designated on tours were not actually used as gas chambers. That doesn't mean they didn't exist or that they weren't used in other formats. But I can see why it would be disconcerting to those wanting the actual truth to be told. History is rife with examples of distortion of the truth. That is nothing new. The deniers are good examples of why it is very important to always be honest in presenting history.
For the same reasons as for absolutely every other historical event.Why do you think those lies are being told?
Well, in your case, it appears that the reason is to be able to pretend that your irrational hatred of Jews is somehow justified, and the lies are simply a means to that end.Why do people lie to begin with?
Yes.Are you familiar with fabrications and lies told "witnesses" at the war trials?

A most elegant yet simple answer to his idiocy. He may even be able to understand it.![]()
To what quote are you referring?Where is that quote from?
You're among those who insist after million Jewish people were murdered in the camps, meaning they were never heard from again, millions of Jewish people kept going to the camps, none the wiser, till the end of the war.
That's saying those millions of Jewish people were stupid.
There was mail to and from the camps. People got paid for work in the camps.
I once read on the internet that they were stupid because they figured they were just off to a holiday camp for a few years of fun in the sun, bingo and talent contests.You're among those who insist after million Jewish people were murdered in the camps, meaning they were never heard from again, millions of Jewish people kept going to the camps, none the wiser, till the end of the war.

I have visited the villa where it was held just outside Berlin and I reccommend that anyone goes there to see the banality of evil made real.

Or was that people going to Butlins?
They got shot, gassed, worked and starved to death over a period of 4 years in thousands of camps right across Europe

I hadn't realised it was so close to Berlin. Hope to be visiting Berlin in October, so will add this to my list of places to visit. Thanks.

At Butlins?!![]()
Are you sure he wasn't chosen as a Kapo because he was a dentist, not because he was handsome? Can you show us where in his description of this event Rajchman explains why the man was chosen to be a Kapo?Yeah that's it.
It's certainly not the stupidity of him bringing up that the guy was handsome and his good looks was the reason he was chosen to be a kapo.
Then, instead of saying he forgot the guys name, he said he never got the guys name.
Dick and Jane stories are more realistic.
