The United States locked hundreds of thousands of Japanese and German American Citizens up in concentration camps during WWII. Yes, there were concentration camps in Germany, and yes the remains of them are still there. What's your point? It's how war works, you don't just go letting your enemies run around free in your country during war, you lock them up. Ever hear about Guantanamo bay? That's a concentration camp... oh sorry, it's a "detention facility". Hmm, not so evil when we are doing it ourselves, huh? I think you will find that just about every country in the world that has ever been in a war, has had concentration camps. It's just how it works.

Personally I see a difference between a prison to hold those who are hostile, and a concentration camp that's sole purpose is to gather a group of people based on their religion/race/sexual preference/ancestry/etc. and either work them to death or just outright kill them. But that's just me. And yeah, I'd say gathering a group of people based on their race/religion/sexual preference/ancestry/etc. and sticking them all in a concentration camp and then systematically killing them is pretty evil regardless of who is doing the killing.

But a plan to systematically kill millions of jews, and millions more of dissenenters? Not only impossible, but just stupid, why kill people when you could have them working for you (forced labor)?

Perhaps you should go back to page one and actually read the link that FlyersFan posted.

Or are we to believe that the Nazis were evil that they would kill people, but they weren't evil enough to have slaves? Only us Americans ever had slaves, I guess...

The Nazi's did both. What do you think they had the prisoners of those concentration camps doing? Sitting around drinking tea and coffee? Playing chess perhaps? No, they were working them to death while starving them. And if you read a bit of history, not the revisionist crap but something that comes from a legitimate historian, you would know that pretty much every civilization/country has used slave labor at some point in their past.

No legitimate historian questions that the Holocaust did in fact happen or that millions of people were killed. No legitimate historian denies the atrocities committed by the Nazi's. You know why? Because there is more than enough documentation and testimony from the Nazi's themselves to know without a shadow of a doubt that it happened. That anyone still clings to a revisionist version is, quite frankly, laughable.
