Pros And Cons Of Holocaust Denial

Holocaust prisoners left, together, in cold dark water for hours at a time. Were their punishments for nothing? Or did their suffering somehow help us today? Between the years of 1939 and 1945, also known as the Holocaust; the Nazi’s took test subjects from groups of people to perform procedures and experiments on. Unfortunately, all of these so-called “important tests” were exceptionally inhumane. A few examples of the procedures performed were leaving prisoners in freezing cold water for three hours straight or only allowing them to drink pure ocean water for two weeks straight. For the most part, what those German doctors did was unnecessary due to the fact that the outcome was highly predictable. But over the course of the intense studies, a few valid and useful tidbits of information did surface. Some of the research findings from Nazi medical testings during the Holocaust continue to benefit today's modern medical development.

     It is hard to grasp the number of lives lost during the Holocaust. How someone could have so much hatred towards one group of people. Or how so many people could set back and watch something like this take place without protest. To begin to understand how a tragedy like the Holocaust could have took place without intervention we need to understand antisemitism.

The Holocaust is known as one of the most devastating, or perhaps even the most devastating incident in human history. On paper, the dizzying statistics are hard to believe. The mass executions, the terrible conditions, the ruthlessness, and the passivity of the majority of witnesses to the traumatic events all seem like a giant, twisted story blown out of proportion to scare children. But the stories are true, the terror really happened, and ordinary citizens were convinced into doing savage deeds against innocent people. How, one must ask? How could anyone be so pitiless towards their neighbors, their friends? In a time of desperation, when a country was on its knees to the rest of the world, one man not only united Germans against a

Fear can lead people to believe nothing is as it seems and draw their own conclusions about political issues exaggerating or altering the “truth”; “everybody wants to believe that everything is not random and that somebody has control” (Katel 893). Conspiracy theories emerge from the necessity of explaining rare events or apparent coincidences, and its bases are mainly fear and distrust of government and leadership. Not all conspiracies are harmless, and since they spread so easily and quickly, they might represent a threat to the society (Katel 901). The first American conspiracy, for instance, was introduced in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, when 20 women and men were executed since people accused them of being witches (Katel 893). As long as people feel frightened, they would act irrationally appealing to support conspiracy theories. In this case, fear is not the only motivation to believe in conspiracies, but also hate is an important

The Holocaust is the undisputed genocide of all genocides, and it has been contended energetically by numerous students of history that no other dim period in mankind's history very thinks about to it. Albeit subjectively valid in a few perspectives, current students of history no longer need to depend on shades of obscurity keeping in mind the end goal to break down genocide.

The Holocaust was an event that took place during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The Holocaust was carried out by the German Gestapo, its sole purpose was to exterminate all “inferior”races of people. After the Germans’ defeat and the discovery of the concentration camps, the officials that ran these camps were put on trial for their crimes against humanity. However, some of these war criminals ran from their trials and are now being found in their later years. Their age, however, does not change what they had done in their younger years. Though many believe these men should be left alone, these men should be persecuted for what they did to those many innocent people during WWII.

Many of us believe that the holocaust happened but, there are many that oppose that view. The people that see the Holocaust as a false thing in history that never happened have reasons to believe that just as the people who think it is real. One of the more obvious reasons is the jewish population. The Holocaust could not have happened if the World Almanac states that in 1939 the jewish population had roughly 15,688,259 , but in 1948 the jewish population was in between 15,600,000 to 18,700,000. (How The Holocaust was Faked) Multiple sources and people say that 6,000,000 jews were killed, but the numbers do not add up. All of the 6,000,000 jews that were supposedly killed apparently do not have names because there is no documentation of the names of these so called victims. One would think at that the very detailed studies and paperwork that the germans took would be somewhere

Denial of the Holocaust War is a monster, consuming everything in its path, with no sense of mercy or leniency. A creature of true chaos, it thrives and feeds from the destruction of whatever it touches. Only to be continually fed by its inner demons, man, an even bigger evil than war itself. All in all in true retrospect, man is war.

The Holocaust is well known around the world, and many people do not realize the devastation and the technology that was used in that time. What we knew before was that the Holocaust resulted in the death of six million jews, and was controlled by the Nazi Regime. Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Germany and came up with the Final Solution, a plan to exterminate all the people of Jewish faith or race during World War II. This then brought in the concept of concentration camps. Concentration camps did not just hold Jews captive, they also targeted other groups such as Gypsies, African-Germans, Homosexuals, Atheists, and the physically and the mentally disabled. Now, it is common knowledge that that many people were killed in gas chambers or

The Holocaust is remembered as one of the most vicious events in history. We have gotten the chance to try and comprehend the pain that such evil genocide left on many, through those who witnessed it. Who sorely revive it, in an attempt to make sure that the world never forgets the millions of Jews that were unjustly tortured and murdered.

The Holocaust, the systematic extermination of 11 million Jews and other minorities during World War 2, was an occurrence caused by human brutality and cruelty. Today, there is a wide variety of evidence including first person accounts, literature, images and other physical evidence from camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau and other death camps. Despite this evidence, there are still people to date who believe that the Holocaust did not take place, or that what is said to have taken place was exaggerated. This belief is formally known as Holocaust Denial or Distortion. People who believe in this ideology are called Holocaust deniers, or revisionists. This belief originated during the Holocausts with the Nazi’s. One main belief

Madison McBride A. Hall Language Arts: 2A 15 December 2014 Defining and Interpreting Holocaust Denial What is Holocaust Denial? Holocaust Denial is the belief or assertion that the Holocaust did not happen or was greatly exaggerated. Though many consider the Holocaust a monumental historic event, “Holocaust Denial” and conspiracy theories surrounding this event exist in today’s modern society. Although it may sound like a simple topic, Holocaust Denial is more complex than it seems.

The Holocaust of 1933-1945, was the systematic killing of millions of European Jews by the National Socialist German Worker’s Party (Nazis) (Webster, 430). This project showed the treacherous treatment towards all Jews of that era. Though many fought against this horrific genocide, the officials had already determined in their minds to exterminate the Jews. Thus, the Holocaust was a malicious movement that broke up many homes, brought immense despair, and congregated great discrimination. The Holocaust was an act of Hell on earth.

Lastly, another fascinating thing about the Holocaust is whether or not people have moved on from the Holocaust and considered it ‘old news’ in today’s world. Many people believe that in today’s world, we have moved on from the holocaust and considered it ‘old news’. In my opinion we have definitely not moved on or forgotten the Holocaust, how could we? The Holocaust was such a catastrophic event that changed the world forever. It will never be forgotten. In many ways the Holocaust is so disturbing but I’m glad to know about it. Hitler was wrong for killing the Jews because all people should be treated the same. It’s horrible how no one back then knew anything. And even though some did have their suspicions, they never did anything...the whole thing is sick, horrible, and terribly sad. Centuries from now people will still remember the Holocaust because it was a major event in history when millions of Jews and others were murdered, there for it will never be forgotten. We need to remember the

As Hajime Tokuno describes it, “Deniers have subjugated science, in this case historical science, to a political agenda, creating a pseudoscience called Holocaust Denial” (Tokuno 2).
