I personally know three people with numbers tattooed on their arms that swear that this was not one of Hitler's summer camps for Jews, Gypsies, and Communists. One of these people was a Jewish Pole 13 years old when he arrived at Auschwitz his family. He never saw his family again and survived by doing the unthinkable -- he was a very sad man.

My father was in Patton's Third Army, 8th Infantry, medical company. He landed third wave on D-Day, was in the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), and helped the liberated concentration camp survivors at Buchenwald concentration camp, near Weimar, Germany.

I heard the stories of what was seen at Buchenwald concentration camp first hand from my father. Anecdotal? There are too many evidential documents and survivors' collaborated testimonies to even claim that the stories are anecdotal. There is proof enough for me.

It is immaterial if 200,000 or 6,000,000 persons of a hated religious heritage were systematically worked to death or exterminated by the Nazis. In any case, this is genocide and a crime against humanity. As for the Jew's Holocaust to take some precedence over other genocides it only does as to the magnitude of the event not in the event's criminality. A genocide of any people should have the same standing of a criminal event.

500,000 died recently in the Rwandan Genocide would you deny that too? 1,400,000 in Pol Pot's Killing Fields -- than didn't happen either? Or maybe, only your own hatred and/or racism could justify your denial of the genocides that you agree with?

Maybe, in today's world we document things better but that would not change the events of the conquests of Genghis Khan or Timur (Tamerlane) and their slaughter of civilians. Mini genocides of peoples but of lesser magnitude than Hitler's Nazi Holocaust's "Final Solution." The records are hearsay but that doesn't mean that the accounts were false -- it was long ago ...
