The Jews,Gypsies,Homosexuals,Jehovas Witnesses,Disabled, Free masons and many others were put into concentration camps at the hands of the nazis and still we get people who deny that it happened. Why do they do they deny it, are they afraid or ashamed again I ask why?

  I think it all goes back to that old saying, "History repeats itself." This is just my opinion, of course, but perhaps the people who are denying it are denying it simply because they don't want something along those lines happening again. What those people fail to realize is that history only repeats itself if you don't learn from it.

  You know your probably right there.
  But I mean all that suffering people endured and survived just so that some of society can say it did not happen.
  It makes me seethe and reel, what is wrong with people today?

  Why concern yourself with what other people do and say? Lead by setting a positive example instead of questioning the thoughts and actions of others and you will no longer seethe and reel with rage.
  
  Yes, it is sad what happened to those people. However, the only thing any of us can do is move on with our lives and not allow it to happen again. Stand up for your beliefs and stop the religious persecution that is going on today. And yes, there is religious persecution everywhere. Muslims are targeted, Pagans are targeted, Christians are targeted, as is every other religion. If you don't want the Holocaust to happen again and you really want to hold these people's memories close to you, spread the word of tolerance as that is what they would have wanted. If there had been tolerance during World War II, there would have been no Holocaust.
  
  Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a precious gift and that is why it's called the present.

  It should not be denied or disbelived..it is documented history...many things we know , that really have and do happen get denied, because people take their own opinions, make theories and run with it, I think...
  
  The Holocaust did happen and I am very sorry to know that it did...it is just a sad part of world history we do not really talk about in society.

  ( my Appalachian heritage are german/americans, and the other half of me is Hopi..so I do not dismiss any possibility, I just believe many people did die and suffer due to the Holocaust , just like it has happened with every culture through the history of time )

  I have Dutch Masons in my family tree and it is recorded (family bible) that thousands of Freemason were sent to concentration camps and never seen from again. Masons keep pretty good records. To think millions died is realistic and those that take a different stance on this; lets just say may have a different agenda.

  Thank you for mentioning the Jehovah Witnesses. I see you know your fatcs as well. You had the Star of David to which many people knew. But few ever heard of 'The Purple Triangle' to which the Witenesses were known as. They went to their deaths because they refused to denounce JEHOVAH. Some did and were promised to be freed, but they signed the paper and were killed anyway. And those that did not sign were killed as well, but many that refused to denounce JEHOVAH did survive the concentration camps.

  Not only the Jews, Gays and Gypsies ... 69 million people were killed in the Second World wide Warring ... during the 1939-45. A.D. Period.
  
  Those killed, were "mostly" innocents.
  
  Those who say, that "6 million" Jews, never died, in consequences of Naziism's induced butcherings ... are either blind, or illiterate fools, or politicians.
  
  But Greater Fools are those, who remember their own kind' 6 million killed in WW II, and see to it that the other "63 million" killed ... are never mentioned !

I think they are deny it because there are lots of unanswered questions about holocaust. I'm from a jewish family, however I'm christian. My granddad have been thruogh all that and he never said anything about lampshades and human soap etc, etc. These horrific stories are pure lies, and that is what these people deny. I believe that the holocaust was a horrible thing but I do not think that we have to pay compensation untill our life ends.

People in general are weak-minded and will believe loony conspiracy theories while denying evident history if the right person tells them to or if doing so will make them feel important or excited.

Holocaust deniers are in the same bag as "Bush planned 9/11" nuts and the like. They may have differing motivations but they are all just delusional fools.

The bag needs to be thrown in the river and forgotten.

  reinhard heydrich was assassinated in prague and in the town of Lidice the ss arrived and a hell of a reprizal was taken out consisting of
  all the women and children being sent to concentration camps and every man and animal was shot and buried.
  the town scrubbed off the face of the maps and levelled and there is a shrine to that town on the mount of Lidice.
  
  Another town in france had the same thing happen i forget the name but the reprizal i wont forget, the ss brought out all the women and children and locked them in the church and all the men and boys were shot and the women and children in the church were burned alive.

  It never ceases to amaze me when perfectly intelligent, likable people can argue about something that is clear and proven fact or minimize something that involved entire ARMIES and WHOLE COUNTRIES.
  
  If he's been to the institutions that he implies he's been to, then he's seen plenty of evidence. For God's sake, Hitler and others were notorious record keepers. There are actually FILMS of some of the disgusting experiments they performed.

It's not joking Relache. While not actively, I am researching this question for a long time, and though I did not arrive to the final conclusion yet, I am pretty close to calling it another great lie of the 20th century.

Just to clarify my point - I am not saying that Jews did not die in German concentration camps. It's an obvious fact - they dyed, and in big numbers. But nowhere close to those several millions that are circulating around. Those likely are grossly exaggerated, like 20 times.

  If this is directed at me, I can read perfectly well thank you, and the statement STILL stands. I can understand how it might be hard to believe the number, but that does not make it less true. Many millions of people died, 6 million is a CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE, as a result of the Holocaust; there are EXTENSIVE records of this, many kept by Hitler's goons themselves because they believed that they WERE NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG. If he's been studying as much as he says, he's seen much of the same evidence (perhaps more) that I have, and is remaining willfully ignorant; facts are facts.
  
  I understand that there are PLENTY of lies going around this century, but minimizing the suffering off all the people in many countries (NOT JUST JEWISH PEOPLE) who died in German camps is just unfathomable.
  
  Hitler's goal was to wipe the entire EARTH clean of Jews and people he felt were sub-standard. His book outlines his intentions and plans to do JUST THAT. In Europe, he was 66% of the way there when it came to the Jewish people. It was intended to be a worldwide campaign, and given his plans, he actually DID NOT get very far.

  I strongly suspect the numbers are greatly inflated, I don't know how much. This in no way denies the tragedy, and as Tantrum said rather puts it in perspective in relation to other tragedies of the 20th century, which were plenty. I just leave it as it is at least for now.

"Concentration camps were established in Germany shortly after Hitler's assumption of power in 1933. Many of the Nazis' political opponents were arrested; Socialists, communists, Jews, gipsies, homosexuals, pacifists, Freemasons, trade unionists and Jehovah's Witnesses were amongst those imprisoned.

After the outbreak of war, new concentration camps were set up throughout Occupied Europe. Extermination camps were established to implement the 'Final Solution', the systematic killing of more than six million Jews."

ok i am not saying this debate is rediculous... well... in a way i am because you want to know why people in America do not believe ( some dont) that there is any such thing as to what Hitler did. In the New York times back in the day I believe it was called. America was dealing with a war and even though it Hitler and the event was real it was not very well seen in the Newspaper and people did not speak about if for years it was all hush, hush publically. This is what I learned on a documentary about this and I believe it because Hitler had a reason to kill himself just like thousands of people. If you like my work come visit my hub...

We will never know the exact number of people who were killed under the rule of that regime. What we do know is that the annihilation was not limited to Jews, as others here have acknowledged.

My mother's family was exterminated during those years; children, grandparents, aunts, nieces, nephews, only because they were Polish and Catholic. Thankfully, my mother's immediate family emigrated to the US before the Holocaust began. The remainder of her family tree is burned to ashes in Poland.

Our family is one small story. In time, the numbers may become more exact, if the research continues. But I fear that the horror at the enormous atrocity of those years is fading, as the horror of the Armenian genocide faded even before the 1940s.

Are we humans destined to kill each other off from time to time? There are those who say that is the natural order. And so, now, we have nuclear weapons pointed at each other--kill and be killed.

As of now, the record for numbers of humans exterminated under a political regime belongs to the Nazis. How far away are we from breaking that record?

To deny the Holocaust is to deny that it can happen again.

Ignorant people abound, but the Holocaust like all holocausts in any country and generation is no joking matter. We must all do what we can to fight atrocities.

"Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United States?"

  The ones denying what 9/11 is are not American Muslims but conspiracy weirdos (often right wing), and amongst other things they already do deny that a plane hit the Pentagon.

As an American observer and news enthusiast, it is the liberals who want to rewrite American history and say the things you do about 9-11 and not right wing or conservatives. They also have downplayed the Holocaust and that should NEVER be downplayed.

About the Holocaust - if you have ever visited or do visit the Holocaust Musuem in Washington, DC, you will experience the horrific magnitude done to millions of people from different countries. Walk in the shoes of David as his world changes drastically and ends at a young age.

The mood is somber, no one speaks as they walk in the steps that Jews experienced because they were 'different'. When you are finished, you no longer want to take issue with anyone who is 'different' from you, because to do so may ignite evil that was done to these victims, their families and loved ones. It does not matter what the numbers were - or if there were more or less. It was inhuman, incorrigible and evil. It should never have happened and we must NEVER let it happen it again to anyone of any religion, race or different way of life. And we must never forget or deny it.

People who deny those horrific events may not see that there was any wrong doing to begin with. How scary is that? Those are the people we should be afraid of now.

My thought here is this , all you have to have done in life is listen to a WW11 surviving soldier , they can tell you more about the haulicaust that even the books. In America , we stuff our veterans into the forget about them file. It amazes me that anyone can say ,"It didn't happen". Pure ignorance!

To deny some part of history as so terrible and unbelievable is not hard to understand if someone doesn't want to believe that humans can be so evil, or that a higher power didn't intervene.

Elie Wiesel has written the book, Night, which should be required reading, if it's not already, in high school. Any adult who hasn't read it should read it..

HI WG, I have meant to read the rest of the trilogy, but haven't as yet. Thanks for posting. I just took a walk and was thinking about the book Night, and how it had such an effect on me. I think Elie Wiesel is one of those extraordinary humans that we are fortunate was spared to tell the story.

I think it's tragic that we have to wait for history to inform us that a period of time was so terrible. Look at the current state of affairs in our world. Why is so little done? The famine in Somalia is heartbreaking and so wrong. The endless wars.. and we are too concerned with who did what or said this or that.
