Auschwitz? Is he that Jewish tailor down the road?

LONDON (Reuters) - Nearly half of Britons in a poll said they had never heard of Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp in southern Poland that became a symbol of the Holocaust and the attempted genocide of the Jews.
The results of the survey conducted by the BBC were released on Thursday as Britain?s public broadcaster announced it will show a new series next January to mark the 60th anniversary of the concentration camp?s liberation.
?We were amazed by the results of our audience research,? said Laurence Rees, a producer on the series, ?Auschwitz: The Nazis & the ?Final Solution.??
?It?s easy to presume that the horrors of Auschwitz are engrained in the nation?s collective memory, but obviously this is not the case,? Rees said.

History is washed away, and not taught - that's why we're stuck in this friggin loop.

I think it is funny that some people claim the holocaust never happened.

Think that's shocking?
Poll: 70% believe Saddam, 9-11 link
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Nearly seven in 10 Americans believe it is likely that ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, says a poll out almost two years after the terrorists' strike against this country. Sixty-nine percent in a Washington Post poll published Saturday said they believe it is likely the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks carried out by al-Qaeda. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents believe it's likely Saddam was involved.
The belief in the connection persists even though there has been no proof of a link between the two.

> I think it is funny that some people claim the holocaust never happened.
I find nothing at all funny about the holocaust or any other event in which massive numbers of humans were/are methodically murdered. If you ever find yourself in Washington DC, visit the holocaust museum. It is/was free, but you have to get there early to get a ticket (they only let a few people through it a day). Regardless of how one feels about Jews or Nazis, the scope and magnitude of evil that mankind can allow to happen to one another is truely sickening and shocking.

I think you misread my comment. My comment is saying how I think it is funny that people still claim the holocaust never happened. I dont find the holocaust funny, just the fact people are dumb enough to say it never happened. I have visited that museum and I agree, it is a very insightful place. It puts things into perspective.

Are the Jewish authorities "fucking dumb" for refusing to allow any forensic investigation of the "death" camps?

Which "jewish authorities" are you referring to? And who do you believe wants to do "forensic examination" and for what purpose?

Sorry, I was reading some holocause "revisionists" (deniers) and I just thought it would be humorous. Denying the holocaust would be like denying that their is a sun. I know people who still have their tattoos from Auschwitz.

been there, it wasn't actually very hard to get in for me. Showed up in the middle of the afternoon and got in in like 20 minutes. You're right though. It is one of the more interesting things to visit when in the hellhole that is DC. Skip the hard rock cafe visit and check out the museum, its very interesting and somber at the same time.

Even more shocking, some people don't think that the "RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS" given to "all males of the ages 17 to 42" really exists!

What would be truly shocking would be you not trying to bash the US in a post about others.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
