1. The gas was very real as are the dead at exterminations like Majdanek, so many of my family were killed.
2. Indeed all the victims of the Holocaust should be mentioned. So should Hitler's plans for the decimation, ethnic cleansing and enslavment of Slavs. But I notice you failed to mention the mass murder of the Gypsies/Roma/Sinti. I'm not sure if the issue is that you just don't give a damn about them, of if you are blinded by your own grievances to the detriment of others. Ironically, this is exactly the problem with Jews who focus only on Jewish victims only. The one thing I don't get is the need to claim that fewer Jews died. Lets say that only 5 million died. Does that really change anything?

Your declaration that the gas was real is noted. Your specificity about what gas under what conditions is not. There was exhaust gas. There were poison gas tests. These resulted in mass murder. These are not what I am talking about, and I made that very pointedly clear.

I share your grief for murdered family. I am Polish.

You say, "But I notice you failed to mention the mass murder of the Gypsies/Roma/Sinti. I'm not sure if the issue is that you just don't give a damn about them, of if you are blinded by your own grievances to the detriment of others. Ironically, this is exactly the problem with Jews who focus only on Jewish victims only.

Why didn't you mention other camps than Majdanek? Do you only care about your family and not give a damn about any other families in any other camps? Why did you not mention the homosexuals who were known to be singled out? Do you not give a damn about them being murdered? Why don't you mention the communists who were singled out, or the Russians? Do you not give a damn about them?

I mentioned the Slavs and the Poles not only because of my family, but because the numbers are equal to if not more the number of Jewish dead. I didn't say those were the only killed, and your implication that I did, accompanied by insults while hiding behind your dead family members is a cheap shot designed to spin my very simple and clearly stated points. And by the way, it also dishonors your family to use their deaths to spin internet tactics. I don't know what you believe is sacred, but that crosses the line for me.
