There's ZERO evidence of any mass graves or mass killings at Treblinka. We're supposed to believe that 900,000 Jews were killed, buried, dug up, and burned by the Goyim, I mean the Nazis.

But there is zero evidence of any mass grave, and ground-penetrating radar shows that the earth is undisturbed in the entire camp.

When all these lies were first told in the 1940s, the Jews/Allies didn't think about future technology and fact checking blowing their whole lie apart.

Treblinka was a transit station on the way to Russia. Germany was sending Jews to Russia, and de-lousing them at Treblinka through Zyclon B, showers, and a change of clothes, because there was a typhus epidemic.

Orthodox Jews rarely showered, or shaved, so their dirty beards hosted typhus-carrying lice and spread the deadly famine to everybody around them.

After the war ended, Soviet-occupied territory was off limits to the West, so all of these Jews who were transported to Russia were assumed dead by their relatives, and by the West. WRONG.

Bacj in 1992 when Melaine Griffiths was promoting her WW2 drama Shining Through (I think that was the name of it) a reporter menionted the Holocaust to her. She said she had never heard of it. The reporter than told her that 6 million people were killed in camps. Her response was "Gee, that's alot of people".

Well, to be honest, when Schindler's List came out several of my co-workers had not known how bad it was. My jaw dropped - I literally could not believe it.

I'm part Jewish so I think I've watched every film with even the slightest reference to the Holocaust before Schindler's List. There was a fucking min-series called HOLOCAUST in the late 70's. For me, Schindler's List was a lot of the same - but for some, it was some revelation because they'd never seen anything about it really.

So yes, I can understand this ignorance. It's shocking but straight white American people have no interest in anything not about white straight America.

Another example - a co-worker saw Philadelphia back when it was out. She said how touching it was to see the childhood photos at the end because she had never considered that gay people were like other people and had families growing up. !!!!!!!! The hell? And she knew I was gay - where the hell did she think I came from?

Wow, so much ignorance and bigotry here.

Let's make one thing clear: the Holocaust was designed from the beginning for one purpose: to systematically murder every single Jew in Europe on an industrial scale. Period. Yes, gays, gypsies, communists etc were also killed in the death campus but to Germans they were considered a "bonus" output of the vast extermination infrastructure they created and were not the primary focus.

To understand this, Google "Wanssee Conference". It's all there. The Germans actually kept the receipts! Memos of those meetings were kept and actions resulted.

How do we know 6 million Jews died? Because the Nazi's OWN RECORDS confirm it! They used IBM's own early computers to tally and identify German citizens of Jewish origin.

In general, the quality and quantity of history being taught in public schools is appallingly poor, at least when I was still in school. One example: every 4th grader in California is taught about the Spanish missions, and was given an arts and crafts project to recreate what a Spanish Mission looked like using popsicle sticks, cardboard, glue, all that stuff. Well, that was all fine and dandy, except that they completely glossed over the brutal mistreatment of Native Americans and how they were subjected to slave-like conditions. I am not blaming the teachers, but that was the mandatory curriculum back then. Lots of omission, glossing over things, and lack of nuance.

by Anonymousreply 76April 14, 2018 11:03 PM

R72 I wasn’t denying any of that. But I think to ignore the other groups murdered along the way because they were a “bonus” diminishes their lives. They shouldn’t be shoved out of the story simply because there weren’t as many of them or because they weren’t the original target. How many of the gypsies or even the disabled, for example, were in favour of Hitler until they realised the nazis saw them in the same catogory. When we ignore the fact that people other than Jews were also victims we lose an opportunity to remind people that while they may secretly applaud or ignore bigotry towards other groups, they are doing so assuming no ones coming for them.

This thread is a example. At bare minimum 5000 gay people died in concentration camps (something not glossed over entirely by Hollywood, unlike other groups to be fair) but some of the posters here who seem oblivious to that fact. They discuss the murder of millions of Jewish people as though it’s nothing because they may not realise they wouldn’t have been safe either. While one group screams “get them” another group is screaming the same at them.

There is plenty of evidence that genocide took place in Treblinka.

And as for comparisons to other genocides, the Holocaust is unique. While other genocides have targeted ethnic minorities, only the Holocaust attempted to hunt down and kill every individual member of that group.

I happen to think it's disgraceful that Millennials don't know about this, but your attempt to pretend that Zionists aren't the equivalent of the people who would use "dirty Jew pig," just aimed at a different target, isn't going to work. I've seen their comments and frankly, their only criticism of Hitler is that he targeted Jews. Had he not, they would have gleefully joined. Even Netanyahu essentially absolved Hitler and attempted to blame Palestinians for the Holocaust. Many Ashkenazi Jews are ZIonists and aren't religious, but are supremacists who have proudly joined the alt-right and have no qualms about denigrating non-whites. Because they put their color above their religion.

This does not surprise me. I'm a history professor, and what used to constitute common knowledge no longer does. The Holocaust is still supposed to be in the curriculum of public school education in many, if not all, states. History in colleges, however, is (like the humanities in general) under assault. Millennials would study about events like the Holocaust, Stalin's purges, and the mass murder under Mao in a core course on West Civ or World history. Sadly, more and more colleges are dropping core courses in favor of STEM courses or so-called "useful" courses.

Still, I am surprised by the lack of knowledge of many things among millennials and others. I was sharing an office with a graduate student the day Winnie Mandela died. After reading of her death, I turned to the grad student (in history) and told her of Mandela's passing. She had no idea whom I was talking about. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would have thought knowledge of Apartheid-era South Africa and civil rights across the globe would be a no-brainer, especially to a grad student in history. I'm at a loss to explain the lack of curiosity about the world among all sorts of people today.

My ancestors died as prisoners of war. They were starved to death. They weren’t Jewish so no one gives a fuck. I don’t use it as an excuse to claim superiority when it comes to grief and pity. It was it is. But you’ll never win an argument against a Jew concerning the Holocaust without being labelled a Nazi. They own their suffering like a badge of honor and it’s pathetic.

We used to have only 3 major tv networks. That’s how knowledge became “common” in the US between 1945-1995. Everyone as watching a limited amount of information. Then came 900 cable channels, then the internet. People can amuse themselves all they want now. They’re not tuning into historical documentaries or movies about WWII —unless very handsome British stars are headlining.

They’re playing video games, texting each other, taking selfies, watching fake reality tv, lusting after kartrashian money, instagramming, tweeting.

When we were growing up and it was raining on Saturday, we’d stay indoors and watch old movies with WWII backdrops (there was nothing else on tv in the afternoonsJ. Best Years of Our Lives, Mr Skeffington, Casablanca, Mrs Miniver, Mr Roberts, Wackiest Ship in the Army. There were tv shows like Combat, 12 O’Clock Hogh, Baa Baa Black Sheep.

WWII loomed pretty large in our lives as entertainment.

Oh, please R113. I doubt you or any of your ilk are informed about the Rohingya genocide. Or if you do know, you don't care.

You cherry pick and choose what you want to be outraged by these days

I’m informed. What do you want me to do about it? Call Donald Trump on the red hotline phone in my office and demand he evacuate the Rohynga?

It's not that people don't know basic history, it's that they are not ashamed of their ignorance.

There are actually a few ways you can help, R115.

[quote]—Someone who watches the History Channel

Please, do not go by History Channel. I knew someone who worked on a couple of their history shows and he told me that they DO NOT FACT CHECK. Also, they (the writers/producers) manipulate numbers to make events sound more dramatic (they will inflate the number of dead in a battle, etc...).

Jews are completely shameless. They kvetch about ignorance of the Holocaust while making sure kids don't hear about any other genocide.

"Never Again" is the motto of narcissistic sociopaths who ignore every other genocide before and since the Holocaust.

Also notice how Jews only ever mention the Native Americans when it comes to defending Israel's slow-motion genocide. Otherwise, Jews have no use for the Native Americans, who are a threat to steal victimhood status points from the Chosen Ones.

Rosilica was destroyed by Mothra in 1961, the whole place wiped out.There were Jews, Gays, Gentiles the whole bunch! No one talks about it and it isn't taught in schools! Why the cover up?

Not giving any NAZIS & bigots a pass here at all, but many forget or do not realise the Nazis were National Socialists. They killed off the aristocracy and intelligentsia as well, in addition to observant religious people of many denominations. Many have no sympathy for these victims or their families either, simply because many were rich. America is sadly riddled with racist bigoted scum.

Jews played a leading role in waging war on Germany and trying to conquer it and make it part of the Jewish run USSR. When Hitler fought back, Jews cried victim. Most Jewish "victims" of the "Holocaust" were communist revolutionaries.

R107 wants to use red tags in the same way Yellow Stars were used.

People don't read books like they used to. I'm convinced that's the core problem.
