Do you think nein11 would rather see his handle to be "Breslau"?![]()
Technically, I disagree with you: I don't think the word is merely a marketing ploy.The word 'holocaust' is a marketing ploy. Revisionist claim that nobody was gassed or that a deliberate extermination program was going on. The vast majority of people who died, died because of sickness, deprevation, etc.
COL. BROOKHART: Witness after witness, by testimony and affidavit, has said that the gas chamber killings were done on general or specific orders of Kaltenbrunner.
KALTENBRUNNER: Show me one of those men or any of those orders. It is utterly impossible.
COL. BROOKHART: Practically all of the orders came through Kaltenbrunner.
KALTENBRUNNER: Entirely impossible.
Kaltenbrunner also testified that he first heard of the hoax on allied radio.
The charges against Kaltenbrunner were preposterous and there was not a shred of evidence for them. The 'orders' mentioned by Brookhard did not exist.
Technically, I disagree with you: I don't think the word is merely a marketing ploy.
But, for argument sake, even if you were right: You basically just admitted that the Nazis treated a whole bunch of people badly, and unfairly.
What is there worth defending in this sort of event?!
You are basically conceeding the point that a horrible, holocaust-like event took place at the hands of Nazis. Even if you don't think the word "holocaust" is accurate.
Given the fact that you acknowledge such things, do you really think you can win this debate with semantics arguments about the word "holocaust"?
.This is first hand proof what a kangeroo court the IMT was.
I just saw this in a parallel thread:
This is too good to let go. This is first hand proof what a kangeroo court the IMT was.
.Just between you and me... how do you think the good civilians of Dresden felt at a certain night early 1945? My point is that the 'horrible conditions' were created by the allies.

Van Roden was a fraud. See:

Our investigators would put a black hood over the accused's head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles, kick him, and beat him with rubber hose. Many of the German defendants had teeth knocked out. Some had their jaws broken.
All but two of the Germans, in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair. This was Standard Operating Procedure with American investigators.
In another case, a bogus Catholic priest (actually an investigator) entered the cell of one of the defendants, heard his confession, gave him absolution, and then gave him a little friendly tip: "Sign whatever the investigators ask you to sign. It will get you your freedom. Even though it's false, I can give you absolution now in advance for the lie you'd tell."
.
Just between you and me -- what had Anne Frank and her family done to deserve being sent to camps where most of them died? Why couldn't they have been left in the Annex? Why did they even need to hide in the Annex?
Run, little niney -- run.

No, it's yet another lie from your Nazi chum, Saggy.
Indeed, Breslau is my actual surname.
You will get your answer, do not worry. I am preparing a post on a topic that should complete the picture of WW1/WW2. And it does not look good at all for the people you seem to care about so much.
Now, your nizkor post wants us to make believe that van Roden retracted his statement only weeks later? Really? Can you show us the NYT article of March 2, 1949 mentioned in that post. Obviously I used the search facility of the NYT, but I could not find a single reference to van Roden. So you are probably peddling lies, right Wroclaw?
So where is your NYT article? The NYT has all it's articles online. It must be there.
Are you calling nizkor liars as well, uke2se?

This shabby Canadian one man operation is saying exactly the same thing!![]()
Mar 2, 1949: Charges of brutality by war crimes investigators caused demands for
an inquiry. Charges that American war crimes investigators used physical brutality
and other third-degree methods on seventy-four Nazi defendants were denounced in
theMalmedy war crimes trial. (NYT p. 1) [The fact that “third degreemethods” were
used in a fairly systematic way was confirmed by Judge Edward L. Van Roden in an
official investigation ordered by Secretary of the Army Kenneth Royal. Internees
were given starvation rations and ration cards were witheld from their familie; all
but two of the 139 defendants they investigated “had been kicked in the testicles”;
another common method was to “put a black hood over the accused’s head and then
punch him in the face with brass knuckles” Van Roden (1949, p. 216).
