Just what is the basis for this familiar figure?

Even before the end of the Second World War in Europe, that is, before any careful or detailed investigation was possible, the Six Million figure was already in wide circulation. For example, in essays published in late 1944 and early 1945, the prominent Soviet-Jewish writer Ilya Ehrenburg repeatedly told his many readers that "the Germans" had killed six million Jews. In an article published in March 1945, for instance, in the English-language London weekly, Soviet War News, he wrote: "The world now knows that Germany has killed six million Jews."

sky are you kidding me? There were no talks between hitler and jewish leaders about why the jews were being kicked out of Germany. Yes Hitler did use jews to control Jews but there were not negociations or anything like that.

You honestly believe the entire holocaust was a attempt to take land?????? The death of millions or people just to get land.

The Germans used Zionism to promote anti-semitism.

What you are talking about looks like you are buy into the very same propoganda Hitler used in Germany. Ever heard of the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion

This was the so called proof the Jews are trying to take over the world and are in bed withthe socialist just liek you described.

Mearsheimer and Walt argue that "No lobby has managed to divert U.S. foreign policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that U.S. and Israeli interests are essentially identical".[2] According to Mearsheimer and Walt, the Lobby has a "stranglehold on the U.S. Congress," "significant leverage over the Executive branch," and the ability to make sure that the "Lobby’s perspective on Israel is widely reflected in the mainstream media." They also claim that the Lobby jeopardizes the United States' national security, and forces the United States to do the "fighting, dying, rebuilding, and paying" for Israel.[1] They accuse the Lobby of "controlling debate" and they decry what they call misuse of "the charge of anti-Semitism" as well as a "campaign to eliminate criticism of Israel from college campuses" (see Campus Watch and U.S. Congress Bill H.R. 509).

Germany, current holder of the EU's rotating presidency, will table new legislation to outlaw "racism and xenophobia" this spring. Included in the draft EU directive are plans to outlaw Holocaust denial, creating an offence that does not exist in British law. But the proposals, seen by The Daily Telegraph, go much further and would criminalise those who question the extent of war crimes that have taken place in the past 20 years. The legislation will trigger a major row across Europe over free speech and academic freedom.

If a Jewish Holocaust historian admits (as some have done) that some of the gas chambers shown to tourists and proclaimed to be authentic, are in fact not, having been built after the war, he will have no problem. But if David Irving or Germar Rudolf does the same they are called “Holocaust Deniers” and face up to 20 years in prison.

In short, “Holocaust Denial” laws are draconian, heresy-type laws that can applied to anyone who simply doesn’t intellectually agree with an amorphous, non-specific Holocaustography. It is used as a political weapon to defend an historical opinion that has become like a religious dogma.

Holocaust Denial, like the charge of heresy, can be construed out of just about anything, just as “heresy” was punishable for hundreds of years for simply questioning with reason and scientific inquiry whether the sun actually revolved around the earth.

Three decent and intelligent scholars I know in Europe are now facing years in prison for simply challenging some of the Jewish promoted historical interpretations of the Second World War and the Holocaust. I know and respect them all. They are David Irving, Ernst Zundel, and Germar Rudolf. In other words, they face imprisonment for intelligently voicing an opinion about a period of history over 60 years old.

Like Joseph Goebbels, Hess was privately distressed by the war with Britain. According to William L. Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Hess may have hoped to score a stunning diplomatic victory by sealing a peace between the Reich and Britain. Hess at the time flew to Britain in May 1941 to meet the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, parachuting from his Messerschmitt Bf 110 over Renfrewshire on May 10 and landing (though breaking his ankle) at Floors Farm near Eaglesham, just south of Glasgow. He was quickly arrested, although the details of how this happened are somewhat unclear and remain controversial, and he was taken to the Maryhill army barracks and held captive as a prisoner of war. In one newsreel clip, farmer David McLean claims to have arrested Rudolf Hess with his pitchfork.
