After a search on FR I found nothing on this having come across it on Conflict & Terror on Terror News at AntiMullah. I thought the more recent hingts of spine being shown by France worth a mention. Though they still have the holocaust deniers and useless apologists for hate.
Full Story on this and other Conflict & Terror Briefs have a look at:

China condemns Paris honor to Dalai Lama
China condemned on Tuesday Paris’s decision to make the Dalai Lama an honorary citizen, warning that the gesture had damaged ties with France just as both nations were seeking to ease bad blood over protests. Relations between France and China were strained by Tibet protests that disrupted the passage of the Beijing Olympic Games torch through Paris earlier this month.
How I wish!
Lol, thought you wrote an hour ago you were doing something in email!!
I’m not surprised, lol. Your’s too.
.
I’ll do the email thing in a bit
Don’t worry about it.
Yes. I understand; after seeing hair, shoes, and skin covered items everyone was silent while we toured the remainder of the camp. No one spoke until after we departed.
For those who were there when the war ended, how did they cope with the unspeakable horror they saw. I've seen photos in old Life Magazines...
I wish people would tell China to shove it.
To an American, criminalizing even absurd hate speech (except in cases where it may trigger imminent violence) is wrong, because it violates the First Amendment. But criminalization of hate speech very much the norm in Western Europe, and even in Canada, so I've heard. Germany, for historical reasons, probably comes down as hard or harder on hate speech than any other country in the West.
What a loon.
Thanks for the ping FARS!
As far as I know they were not gassed, anyway, nor burned.”
Well , he did say “ as far as I know”. I guess he don’t know sh*t about what happened. A self confessed moron it seems.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping.
Le Pen doesn’t have a brain either
Le Shmuck!

The arguement often made, yes, but he's good on immigration.
Couple of points - LePen is and always has been about xenophobia - hatred and distrust of immigrants coupled with hatred and distrust of Jews. France has a long history of anti-semitism and LePen merely taps into this reservoir. It obviously goes at least as far back as Dreyfus, but in reality much farther back than that.
What an idiot. That’s all I can say.

Agreed
Imho, deniers base much of their argument on the fact that most people do not know the differences between Nazi single purpose death camps (of which there were five), "work camps" (of which there were hundreds), and Auschwitz -- the largest of them all, and the only "dual purpose" camp.
Very few Jews survived the five single purpose death camps. Nearly all sent there were killed immediately -- in gas chambers, with Zyklon-B or carbon monoxide (for all his brutality, Stalin had no equivalent to Nazi death camps. After all, why go through the bother of gassings, when you could simply release your prisoners -- out into the arctic cold).
Many Jews survived the hundreds of various sized "work camps." Some of these camps did have small gas chambers, but no credible evidence shows they were used for industrial scale mass murder.
Auschwitz was the only camp built "dual purpose" for both work and mass murder.
Typical denier arguments point to work camps such as Dachau, and say, "see, no gas chamber murder here..."
Or they point to Auschwitz survivors and say, in effect, "why weren't you gassed too?"
