The Holocaust : Holocaust Revisionism And The Holocaust

Although we know the Holocaust had happened Their are people on the other hand that deny that it ever happened. They might have lost someone or have seen it first hand. Weather it was a survivor or a Nazi soldier.( all frag). On the other hand, there are people who deny it just because they do not like Jews. Which in that case is different. The past has been written and there's no way of rewriting the past to prevent it.We must show these deniers that the Holocaust really happened.

The Holocaust was the systematic killing and extermination of millions of Jews and other Europeans by the German Nazi state between 1939 and 1945. Innocent Europeans were forced from their homes into concentration camps, executed violently, and used for medical experiments. The Nazis believed their acts against this innocent society were justified when hate was the motivating factor. The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society. It forces societies to examine the responsibility and role of citizenship, in addition to approaching the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction. (Holden Congressional Record). Despite the adverse treatment of the Jews, there are lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust: The Nazi’s rise to power could have been prevented, the act of genocide was influenced by hate, and the remembrance of the Holocaust is of the utmost importance for humanity.

These types of people are called “Holocaust deniers”. One of the conspiracies they talk about is how the Holocaust was a huge scam created by the Jews and allied countries to their own advantage, and because there were not any salvaged papers about the Holocaust written by Hitler, that it was a misunderstanding through history. Not only is there enough evidence to prove that Hitler was the sole cause of the Holocaust, it should be apparent enough through the propaganda and the viscous nature he spoke of the

People resisted the truth due to the activities in the concentration camps, the suffering of Jews, and the disbelief of the inhumane actions of the Nazis. Today, some people do not believe that the Holocaust ever happened. Society should accept the fact that the Holocaust happened and prevent it from happening in the future. By focusing on the traits that led to the Holocaust and society must prevent it from

The Holocaust in the eyes of historians all across the country reiterate the importance of the Holocaust. As the first mass genocide so major in a group of people, it’s relevance continues to make a stand. Taking place in 1933 all the way until 1945, the Holocaust changed so much in so little time. Amass, 5-6 million jewish people dying from either being worked to death for taken to gas chambers and killed quietly. Though nothing about the Holocaust was quiet, as it’s name and hitler's wishes were spread across germany in its time of need. An event short enough to be considered just a blip, tacts itself up as one the largest genocides in history. It begs the question among educators and parents alike, whether schools should be teaching the Holocaust. But, the Holocaust is something that cannot be left untaught. The Holocaust should be vocalized to students because they have a right to an education and because it boosts their understanding of society and forms them into better civilians. Also because the side effects of bias in classrooms

Antisemitism, the hatred for the Jewish people, has been called the longest hatred in history. This history is deep rooted and has existed for thousands of years, taking different forms throughout its existence, and intensifying up until and through the Holocaust, to then diminish to an extent but still be prevalent in most societies. Antisemitism exists in different forms, religious, ethnic, and political. The presence of Christianity as the predominant religion in Europe can be noted as a driving factor in religious and ethnic antisemitism, as can the Holocaust. Whereas instances such as the Islamic view on Judaism can be

Growing up, people learn about the past of their own kind and of the world they live in. One reads history in books, hears history from parents, and studies history at schools. Knowing the history of one's ancestors allows one to understand the past and change for a better future. Significant battles, civil movements, and reformations teach people valuable lessons and help the society to improve. The Holocaust, one of the most well-known history events, represents a perfect historical example of discrimination and racism. However, a number of people started to deny the known facts of the Holocaust and even the event itself. Despite of what these people say and how convincing their reasons are, this piece of history is to be protected from

According to “The New York Times” 1994, Michael R. Kagay, published an article that stated that people were not even aware of the Holocaust, even so, people that knew or heard about the Holocaust denied that something like this would happen. Until recently people started to find out what really happened and students get to learn and study about the Holocaust, but there is still much more to learn. Holocaust has many more unknown mysteries and I’m going to see what people know and what they don’t know.

Genocide is best described as “the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.” A major part of the Holocaust genocide is denial. Holocaust denial is present in the United States, Europe, and Canada. These people, known as “revisionists” try to deny the extermination of six million Jews during World War II. The revisionists claim that there are no documents to prove the holocaust actually existed (Holocaust Denial n. pag). “The Holocaust, like evolution, is robustly supported and generally accepted by all but a fringe minority, but it must nevertheless be continually tested, regularly revised, and constantly improved” (Shermer n. pag). The attempt to refute the genocide against the Jews has been a very widespread anti-semitic indoctrination using the arguments of extermination, testimonies, and the Nuremberg trials.

Holocaust Denial is the belief that the Holocaust is false and didn’t ever happen, the 3 main theories that Holocaust Deniers believe prove that the Holocaust did not in fact happen are that the ‘Gas Chambers’ where not used for Mass Murder, the ‘Final Solution’ was actually an order to Deport the Prisoners and not to exterminate them, and the number of Jews Murdered is Significantly lower than 5-6 Million. The Evidence against these assumptions greatly over weigh the Evidence support these absurd and obnoxious Theories, aside from the evidence thousands of people worldwide still believe that the Holocaust was a Hoax and didn’t ever happen.

In order to fully comprehend exactly what is being disputed by these Holocaust deniers, it is necessary to first have all the facts of what the general population accepts as truth. In basic terms, six million Jews were intentionally annihilated between

The Holocaust is a grim reminder of the true depths of human nature. It is easy, if not preferable, to think these type of horrors are behind us in the current, modern world. They think the atrocities are that of the past, recorded in books. It has no real place in today’s world because everything has changed since. This is a naive way of thinking for a lot of people.

These actions of subverting the authority of science and academia is where the Holocaust revisionists come into the picture. Many of the most prominent revisionists derive their authority from their title as historians. Perhaps the most famous of these people is David Irving. David Irving was a renowned historian in his knowledge of Nazi Germany. He published multiple books that were incredibly detailed looks into World War II. Of his works, he is well known for Hitler’s War, The Destruction of Dresden, Churchill’s War, and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich. Throughout all of these books, Irving used his position as a historian to uncover lost documents and gain credibility for outlandish Holocaust revisionist theories.

Holocaust survivors have used the Holocaust to influence people to change and bring awareness of this tragedy. In SIRS, it is concluded that even after 60 years, survivors view the holocaust very present-day and have influenced people to change (eLibrary). The Jews are using the Holocaust as a learning experience so that this would never happen again. In World Book, it is concluded that even though the Holocaust destroyed the Jews and Germans, they used this experience to grow and prevent this from happening (World Book Student). The Nazis continued to take away Jews’ possessions but they never ran from this memory. In World Book, World Book Student states, “In the next 3 years, the Nazi government continued to deprive Jews of their rights and possessions (World Book Student). The Nazis took away Jews’ rights and possessions. By learning from this part of our past, we can ensure everyone’s rights will stay intact. Jews’ lives were ruined for around 10 years because of the Holocaust and it haunts the survivors

When learning about History many people presume that “history” consists only of Colonial Times, or early Greek Civilization, or things such as Pangea. The problem with that ideology would be that according to these people yesterday isn't really history, nor is 2014, however it is. History is not just a microscopic topic, rather history is rather macroscopic. Many people feel that in order for something to be considered historical it must have happened hundreds of years ago but this is not the case, one of the most talked about controversial topics in history was put to an end only 72 years ago. The topic at hand is the Jewish Holocaust, this event was a human extermination plan, specifically planned by the Nazi political party targeting Jewish
