At 100, Jewish Veteran Combats Holocaust Deniers

Five years ago, 95-year-old Hilbert Margol offered a bit of optimism, having recently renewed his driver’s license.

The examiner “renewed my license until 2026,” he told me, flashing a grin as we sat in the parlor of his Dunwoody home. “I hope he knows something.”

Well, so far, so good. It’s 2024 and we again sat at the same table with the century mark arriving. He turns 100 on Thursday.

Reminds me of Walter Bingham, age 100, escaped Nazi Germany in the Kindertransport, and fought with the UK Army, later interviewing captured Nazi big wigs. Still has a weekly radio show on Israel News Talk Radio.

God has blessed Mr. Margol. Pray that he will bless us all!
I hope that I look as well as Mr. Margol in 16 years.

I find it incredible that anyone could deny the Holocaust - it was well documented by the perpetrators.

If someone wants to point out that this happened in parallel with Porajmos or the Nazi plan for the Slavs, that’s fine, but anyone reading the history can’t deny this happened.

I post on GAB when I am in Facebook jail. Lots of neo-nazi wannabees there screaming about “No bodies! No ashes! All fake”
A one minute google search and I post lots of photos of bodies, piles of ashes, more bodies! Cut off tattoos, more bodies. and they scream “Fake!” They simply do not want to see what actually happened in the war.
When they scream and call me names I know I have hit a nerve.
