Not funny Luci. And very stupid too. To argue all that jibber jabber you just typed up there, all I need to do is ask these two questions.
1. Why in the hell would anyone make that shit up?
To generate massive levels of guilt and sympathy for themselves, which they could (and did) later translate into huge sums of money and political influence.
2. Why would it take up a whole chapter in my highschool history text book?
To ensure that the guilt and sympathy levers are propagated from one generation to the next.
Now ask yourself this:
1. What happened to the earlier methods of "mass extermination" which
originally accounted for the mythical six million? Here are a few examples:
A. "Death vans" (or, variously, trucks) which were supposedly used to gas hundreds of thousands of Jews using, of all things,
diesel exhaust. (Hint: Diesel exhaust might make you queasy, but it doesn't have a high enough concentration of CO2 to kill
anyone.)
B. "Electrocution chambers" (or, alternately, electrocution "conveyor belts.")
2. Do any of the dozens of photos featured in your high school textbooks actually match the captions under/beside them? Or do the captions simply
suggest what the photos are
supposed to indicate? FYI: A picture of shoes in black and white doesn't indicate "millions of victims", any more than a picture of shoes in color does. Photos of bodies are photos of bodies,
not the cause of death or the nationality/ethnicity of the bodies.
3. Have you ever heard a rumor that made sense to you or was simply something you wanted to believe was true, then passed it on as the truth -- just because you
believed it, rather than because you knew through evidence and analysis that it was a fact?
4. If the Holocaust story is a fact, rather than a belief, why are people imprisoned (and in some cases killed) for questioning it? That's an effect of fundamentalist religion, not of science.
