Did the holocaust happen? Yes...but not in the way or for the reasons that most here seem to think it did.
Yep, if the Holocaust means lots of people were mistreated and died in captivity, it did indeed happen, but all sides were guilty of that. You want to talk about real mass murder that went on during the war, you only need to look at the actions of the Soviets (many such instances). Then there's the British who intentionally firebombed civilians in heavily populated cities known to have zero strategic or military value as targets. Then there's the hundreds of thousands of surrendered German soldiers murdered on the order of General Eisenhower (for the purpose of carrying out the
Morgenthau Plan - a plan to dramatically reduce the post-war German population, particularly able-bodied adult males, to the point where the remaining population would be permanently impoverished), intentionally killed via prolonged exposure, starvation, and denial of care. I could go on and on. There were war crimes aplenty during that terrible period in history,
on all sides.
