it makes me sick just thinking about what they did to all those people who were different ... its foul and hitler deserves a fait worse than hell .... he was a phsycopath .... who would follow the lead of a man who kills people for having glasses ? no one .... no one does that unless they are a compleite evil ! a sick-twisted-deviouse-mental person .... thats it

God said Thou shall not kill Yet Hitler was reponsible for murdering millions. Hitler was trained as a child to hate. Religion can be dangerous when we add hate against others. Remember, we are all different, we have different finger prints and looks. Yet we are all human. Hitler and the nazi party were born to destroy all other humans not looking or thinking like them. The Bible is a book to remember our past history and not to repeat wars in the bible. War should not exist Yet it does because of people like the nazi-party and KKK and others who believe they are the chosen ones. remember, we are all here to learn and grow healthy Yet, children learn hate. please stop killing and hating. love is the answer and the true power on earth.

I think its important to remember the holocaust and all of its victims. We are giving Hitler too much recognition when holocaust discussions always turn to him instead of all of the people he destroyed. He had all the attention during that time and when we choose to focus on him rather than the people he hurt we are giving him that same power again. What those people had to endure is incomprehensible but every time we remember them and read and listen to their stories then we are honoring them. I urge everyone to read survivors stories and you will be amazed what you will learn. If they are strong enough to live through and write about it then we owe it to them to listen to everything it is that they have to say. It's up to our generation to keep their memories alive and make sure people never forget.

I totaly agree with you casey;If your interested in that subject and want to talk about it,i find that even in this day and age people are still ignorant .I dont think they realise that that is still giving Hitler power from beyond the grave!In a few years the last generation of the holocaust will no longer be with us to tell there story,so i think its out of respect to teach future generations what really happened and not to let the world forget.

My experience with one particular "death camp" came in 1957. A good buddy of mine - we'll call him Joel, and I went on vaction together often. (he had the car) As military personnel we went all over Europe. One of the trips was to a death camp of particular interest to Joel. Why He never said. Upon seeing the area there were sites that looked like skiing moguls. We were later told that they were grave sites where they burried the dead - no - murdered Jews and just dumped them into trench like holes. Eleven years after the fact you could still smell the stench. If I can give you a comparison; when you burn a fingernail that was the odor emitting from the ground. The rises in the ground were the gases from the decomposing bodies. It is an odor that hangs in your nostrils seemingly forever. Joel started to cry and tough old me soon joined him in respectful silence. I often told this story to family and friends but I could never tell them which site we visited. That is until my family and I were transferred here to the mid-west with Uniroyal, Inc. To the east of a little town in NW Missouri called Maryville was a little Berg called Ravenwood and that triggered the Name of Ravensbruk. Two 18 year olds and an experience that would never leave us. Even though it was eleven years after the fact. I still remember it 52 years later.

Christianity loaded the guns for almost two thousand years and the Nazis pulled the trigger. The Nazis are getting all the blame but it could not happen without the hatred the christian church for the Jews, that enabled the mass murder of innocent people. Unlike other historic genocides the Jews never murdered others. The church cannot cover itself with a cloak of righteousness and point to the Nazis as butchers. They should look into a mirror. Shame on a Church that says it stand for "Love".

I agree one hundred per cent Felicity with all that you say, but please lets not include the term "mental". There are a lot of people with psychiatric problems in this world regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity who are unfortunately labelled as mental or the mentally ill by the social system. Rightly as you say, hitler had no feelings, but he was not mentally ill because he was a Sociopath.

Hitler was a monster and so glad we kicked the butts in WW2 . To all those Jews and any other victims my heart goes out to you and you will always be remembered .

The people that brought Hitler to power were just as bad as him. Nazi's and the SS tortured and killed many people just for the pleasure. I am a Holocaust history buff. It's hard to believe that some people even think it didn't happen. Where is their brain. I worked for a professor in history and one day I found a box of old pictures. It turned out to be from when the U.S. troops went into the concentration camps. There are pictures of bodies and even a baby was in one. There were the incinerators, gas chambers, and the galloes. There was also pictures of one of the bridges that was taken during the war. It looks like the Rhine. To actually hold a piece of history from such a horrible time shook my heart so bad. Those people did not have to suffer or die like that. I wish we could have tortured the Nazi party and Hitler the way they did to people. My professor ended giving me the pictures and I keep them safe so that I can pass them on. We need to teach future generations of this era in history. It should never be forgotten. Hitler killed himself, because he was afraid to be accountable for his sick actions. I would love a chance to go to Europe and visit places or even visit with people who lived then. I don't think it will happen though. May this era never be forgotten and bless the ones that fought and/or died fighting the Nazi's.

Hello,my name is karen mendez and i just need to say very heartfeltly that i am truly sorry for all those who suffered at the hands of the nazi leaders. i myself had the the pleasure of meeting one of the holocaust survivors. her name is Sonia Schrieber Weitz and also bought her book.the name of the book is I PROMISED I WOULD TELL.and it was such an honer. i guess we don't relize how we can go through things in life and not think about how others have suffered a worse fate then we have.of all the things i myself have gone through nothing come close to the terrible torture the jewish people people had to endure at the fate of such an evil and cruel man.if thats what he can even be called.i am truly sorry and i will do my best to keep this alive for all those who were liberated.may the lord bless you richly.BODY HEART MIND AND SOUL.I COMMEND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.may you all be an inspiration to all of us here in the USA . THE HOLOCAUST DID HAPPEN AND IS REAL NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS CHOSE TO BELIEVE. I BELIEVE.

I dont understand what makes some people think they have a right to say who and who are not pure or is less equal to another person and should be treated in such a way we all bleed , eat , sleep everything the same so what gives them the right to judge others we are all equal black , white , asian , spanish , and jewish people so they all need to grow up and except people for who they are not they skin colore or religion .............

It is gratifying to read the comments that recognize that responsibility for the Holocaust is not solely that of one man or of a policical party. The title of Daniel Goldhagen's scholarly book says it all: "Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust." My own conclusion is that the major responsiblity is that of anti-semitism promoted by Christian churches, including the Vatican. Thank you RT for the report.

I came across the comments on this site and cried. I haven't cried in 70 years. You see I was 16 when the war broke out and the Nazis took our town. The cruelty I and my family experienced cannot be described in words. Just to say that we were enslaved, starved, hanged, shot and gased doesn't really begin to tell the horror I experienced. I am 86 years old now, and still miss my entire family though I know that they would have been dead by now anyhow. Before I leave, I implore you; DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN. NEVER AGAIN !

My Heart Aches, My Soul Shakes,Sometimes I'm Ashamed To Be A Member Of The Human Race.

i first became aware of the Holocaust when i was 13-seeing photos in Life Magazine, i have been reading & updating my information ever since, i am 61 now. i could be wrong but blaming the Jews for the death of Jesus Christ,fueled anti-semitism, the punishment of Germany after WWI, was the breeding ground for Hitler to rise to power, also the other countries in Europe and the East & the USA, had to know that Hitler was re-arming germany, which was supposed to be forbidden.Also the people who lived close to the death camps, etc, and KNEW what was going on are also guilty be it--Germans, Poles, etc, --check the history of the Bayer Company noted for aspirins Krupp, and many more companies did business with USA companies also.look up sir Anthony Eden or mr Chamberlain from the UK,one of these gentlemen signed a treaty with Hitler on a worthless piece of paper, in old news reels, you can see one of the above, waving the treaty paper in the air, while departing from a train..so in my small opinion --there was alot of "collective guilt" to go around. i also include all of the non-Jews that were killed in my remembrance.i do not think we will ever know the exact count of innocent human beings that were lost to us,and until we realize that we are all members of the Family of Human Beings, wars, hatred, genocide,greed,murder will continue. I try to remember "THE HOLOCAUST OF WW 2,victims and survivors, and family members, along with innocent deaths that have occured ever since, i.e. Bosnia, Sudan, S.Africa,Chad,Ruwanda,Sierre Leone,Palestine, Israel and in the USA also. there is not enough space here for all that i would like to say. I hope that anyone who reads or comments on this site, can spread good will & justice for all of us, and maybe we can give back something in memory of the victims. Sincerely, Franny
