And I see people who post on certain Trump-supporting websites detailing how few people could have died from Zyclon-B gassing. (I think those people are trolls and not real Trump supporters).
The Nazis had more than enough Zyclon-B to kill many more people than there were Jews in all of Europe, so logically they intended to turn it against the Slavs. In addition to working them to death as slaves to defeat the Allied forces.
Yes, gassing was a small fraction of the number killed. Being a youngster a couple decades out from the genocide I remember photos of people who were starved or worked to death or both. They were not killed by gas. The Japanese did the same to Allied troops, they worked them till they died of starvation or death. Again, look at the photos.
How can one see the photos of the Holocaust, the Japanese atrocities against the Allies and Asians or the Holodomor in the Ukraine and deny it? What about the eyewitness testimony of American GI’s?
Just some information to those who run across trolls who try to conflate current politics with the Nazi genocide. Yes these trolls are real and don’t try to argue with them, you will waste your time.
Call me when he does a film about a 13 year old girl sodomized by an old man.
Never forget that Zyklon-B was an anti-lousing compound designed to help the fight against typhus.
One must keep in mind that the majority of those
exterminated died in the last three months of the war.
There is no telling the number had the nazis gotten
their killing machine up and running earlier.
Unlike with western european jews there was no pretense
to the process, the eastern jews were herded like cattle
driven with whips into the “showers”.
May peace be upon all those who died, and upon all Israel.
Amen.
Correct. The Germans killed 5 to 6 million Jews and 1.5 to 2 million Poles and another million Russians. They also killed a large percentage of the Gypsies in Poland and Ukraine.
The Germans wanted to first kill off all the Jews - out of the 5 to 6 million, nearly 1.5 to 2 million were killed by Einsatzengruppe - roaming SS squads that came upon shtetls and slaughtered people then and there.
The German death camps were a typically German, efficient way to kill people while not traumatizing (?!? - yes they did) the killers
I don't get that either. The Germans were meticulous account keepers. They kept detailed track of the people they murdered, how they murdered them and how quickly
I also fully agree with your "conflate current politics with the Nazi genocide" - modern Germans are not to blame for the genocide of the Jews or Poles or Gypsies. And the tossing of "Nazi" for a slight infraction is just silly
