The fact is that genocide was enacted. The numbers are not crucial to the evidence of that crime having been committed.
Exactly my point!!! The crime was enacted and the numbers are not crucial to the evidence that the crime has been committed. But no one is denying that. So why bother to shut every mouth that wants to ask the veracity of the numbers?
Because without the Holocaust there would be no modern state of Israel. It was the raison d'etre for allowing Jews to emigrate to Palestine and re-establish the Jewish homeland. It was also as much an enticement to get Jews to leave the US and Britain as to draw them from the diaspora worldwide. Jews were the victims of racism quite frequently in the US and the mainly Protestant leadership were not unhappy that many left to join the fledgling state.
.
I know,I was just being rhetorical And you know what's the biggest irony? The worst Nazis were brought in the states under Paperclip to continue their work. Talk about hypocrisy...
It's been only 70 years since World War II, and the mad scientists from companies like I.G. Farben, BASF, Hoechst, Dow and Bayer, who created the gas chambers and tested dangerous vaccines on innocent Jews, didn't just go away. In fact, they went to work for U.S. corporations and pharmaceutical companies that run the vaccine industry today. At least a dozen of these cold blooded killers were hired fresh out of prison, just 4 to 7 years after the Nuremberg trials found them guilty of mass murder and enslavement. (frank.mtsu.edu...)
In fact, at the close of WWII, the IG Farben building in Frankfort was protected from allied bombings by the highest levels of military command. Why? IG Farben was the FDA/CDC type of "pharmaceutical arm" of Hitler's 4th Reich, and the Rockefellers had a financial interest in maintaining and controlling this pharmaceutical empire, which would soon be catapulted on U.S. soil. Research reveals that Hitler also invested heavily in Merck and other pharmaceutical companies.
Much like the moon landing the holocaust is one the most documented events in human history.

We do sometimes question the numbers of the holocaust and also the official story line. The most we get is voices "screaming" at us and accusing us as holocaust deniers and such but that's the extent of it. In Germany, they have it bad. You dare to question holocaust? You're searched, maybe arrested then brought to court.
A report in Mindener Tageblatt says:
“The public prosecution department of the city of Bielefeld has been investigating a case of “incitement to hatred“ (Volksverhetzung) against … Ursula Haverbeck. Now, a new lawsuit was added: prosecutors of Niedersachsen’s State Office of Criminal Investigations have searched the houses of Vlotho resident Haverbeck with the support of authorities of the city of Herford. The houses of three further accused were also searched on that day.”

In a later response to the article, a canadian journalist, Brandon Martinez analyzes the video of Ursula bringing worth some of her key points in the matter.
Early in the presentation, Haverbeck points out that the death total at Auschwitz has been officially lowered. Initially it was held that four million were killed in the wartime German camp, but the figure was substantially cut down in 1990, and now officially stands at somewhere around 1.5 million, depending on whom you ask. Even the latter figure, Haverbeck notes in the video, is false. Why has there been no explanation or apology to the German people for falsely accusing them of (at least officially) 2.5 million homicides that never took place, she asks.
In addition to Auschwitz, other major German camps have undergone significant alterations to their respective body counts. Majdanek and Mauthausen were originally said to be the resting places of a combined 3.5 million Jews, but establishment sources have since conceded that less than 100,000 Jews in total died there. If anything, the winners of World War II have an uncanny knack for exaggeration. Despite these drastic reductions, establishment sources refuse to apologize or properly inform the general public of the inaccurate, and downright mythical, victim counts.

Anyone who tries to claim that those people didn't exist, that they "deserved" their death, that the Nazis "weren't that bad" should be punished for it, the severity of the crimes demands that.

Because the only reason to question the numbers, is to lay the groundwork for a return to the ignorance which birthed the genocide in the first place.

I usually enjoy your posts, but on this occasion you are wrong.
Just because there is no physical evidence of the bodies does not mean there is no evidence of their murder.
The Red Cross (and the other things all deniers use to support their nonsense) is taken out of context and abused for sickening ideas.
For example, we know from witness statements, from the evidence of belongings of those in the camps, that the victims were in the millions, not the thousands.
We know that millions of people were sent from various countries, to these camps, where their BELONGINGS WERE FOUND.
Isn't it interesting that the deniers always resort to taking singular documents out of context (usually those written immediately after, with incorrect information, because those involved could not accept the true scale of the horror they were documenting) and clinging onto the suggestions made by actual fascists about what *supposedly* happened, while ignoring all the physical evidence uncovered at the actual camps by the liberators themselves, and while ignoring the statements from the actual survivors, and while ignoring the revised statements and evidence as the true scale of these crimes became more apparent.
It's another example of the biased belief in one notion supposedly supported by one piece of "evidence", while they ignore the OVERWHELMING evidence telling them the truth.

The moon landing is but the holocaust isn't most of what was written about the holocaust is fabricated. Did the holocaust happen of course it did are the numbers of the dead that has been reported happen absolutely not. The reason why the number keeps dropping is because there is no proof of the millions that were killed. If there were proof then the Red Cross wouldn't be reporting that fewer than 300K died in it.
Every incident in history should be open for investigation and discussion. Just because some people get upset when others want to investigate the holocaust is no reason for making it illegal especially when so many people have been caught lying when it comes to the holocaust. The only reason why people don't want something investigated is because they know they have been feeding everyone a lie just like the way people act when it comes to investigating 9/11.

I agree with everything you've said there.
And while I hate the notion of people being punished for an opinion, I actually believe that this should be an international law. The crimes committed against millions of completely innocent people were sickening, a sadistic, evil, totally abhorrent sequence of events that should not ever be able to be reduced by those wanting to distort history for their own sick mentality.
The severity of the crimes committed against people (just like us) are so incredibly immense that as a collective we should not accept anyone who wishes to reduce the suffering of those people, or try to minimize the cruelty involved. The Nazis (and many Germans) were psychopaths. Millions of people were murdered, tortured, abused, in the most depraved and sickening ways.
Anyone who tries to claim that those people didn't exist, that they "deserved" their death, that the Nazis "weren't that bad" should be punished for it, the severity of the crimes demands that.
