TapOrPass.com :: Denying the Holocaust

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4733820.stm

I know this has been a while ago, a British historian has been jailed for denying Holocaust. How do you interpret it? Was it a stupid argument or was he seeking publicity?

I thought what he might have meant is that this perioud was horror for many peoples - not only Jews. Poles, Russians, homosexuals, gypsies - you name them. However, what people mostly remember today is the extermination of the Jews. (I by no means want to belittle the suffering of the Jews - no offence meant).

However, the historian is said to deny the gas chambers, where as surely there is plenty of evidence for that?

I am not a specialist on the topic, but I am curious of what you make of his claims. I also don't believe that he "changed his mind" - rather convinient form that.

I am really sorry if anyone was offenced by this thread. No offence was meant, honestly. I hope every new post will be very careful not to hur anyone as well.

The bombings of Japan were to end the war against a persistant foe...The Japanese were determined to use every human to uphold the beliefs of the emperor..Many of the Japanese opposed the war against and enemy as big and resourceful as the US..You claim that the US is guilty of the same atrocities as the nazis, which is far from the truth..The intent of the US was not to end the Japanese race, it was merely to end an already out of control war against a unrelenting enemy..I really suggest that pick up a few history books and read on...Hitler had one belief , that jews were evil scum of the earth.He used his personal animosity to fuel his hate ..His belief was that the world should be filled with a pure race. His vision was that of a pure Arayn race to carry on his legacy in his thousand year riech..Do you honestly think that if he wasnt stopped, that his hatred would stop with the jews??As for extermination, religious persecution,ethnic cleansing, history is filled with many cases, and it still goes on to this day ..No I am not saying the US is without guilt or cause.. We have our own history of cleansing to justify ourselves and our merits..There is not a society in this world that is guilt free...
