I have a patient, an 83 year old women from Warsaw. Jewish. Lost EVERYONE in her immediate family tot he Nazis during the war. She was sent to Bergen-Belsen camp and survived..barely. What she describes goes far beyond "mistreatment" to the relm of living hell. (Of course, some denier will tell me she's lying and her "tattoo" was faked.)

I notice it ends with a comma. How odd. And where does it say ONLY?
That os YOUR QUOTE, A S S HOLE, (comma) I can't help it if your grammar stayed at the fourth grade. I didn't leave anything out and in fact provided the link. FOAD , KOOK

Yes, I always end sentences in commas, don't I? Silly man.

Auschwitz is my primary reason for having Europe on my bucket list. I will make that pilgrimage soon. My paternal grandparents were Jewish, second generation from Germany prewar. "That" was never spoken of, but it was made known that the family back in Europe was no more. On either side. Eventually, I started playing chess and spotted some old guys playing chess in the park across the street. Off I went. "Hey mister, what's that tattoo on your arm?" "Got it it camp." "Really? What kind of camp?" "Well......" So we'd play, they'd talk, and "Don't tell your grandmother what we're talking about!" That went on for like three years, when I'd come out to visit New York for a couple of weeks with my New York dad. How I regret not writing it all down.

Like most things, it depends on definitions. If the Holocaust was that Jews, among many others, suffered, and were held captive, and were mistreated by Germans, and died in great numbers (like many others held in the camps, most particularly during the last months and days), perhaps even exceeding two or three hundred thousand, some small percentage by actual intentional atrocity (particularly in the east), during WWII, then it most certainly happened. No one doubts that. Many civilians (not just Jews) suffered and died horrendously during that war, and all the nations involved had their share of the blame.
A couple of phrases in bold so we can further laugh at you...

I visited Dachau in 2011. It was disgusting, saddening, and I could only stand about 2 1/2 hours of it. I cut my tour short and went to the hotel. Couldn't eat the rest of day. It is stomach turning, and Dachau was not a death camp! After Dachau, I had no desire to go to Birkenau. One place I regret not visiting is the Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand memorial in Berlin. Watch Valkyrie sometime if you want to see a well done movie on Claus von Stauffenberg.

Have not visited Auschwitz, but I have seen elderly Jewish people with the tattoos. Chilling reminder. My sister in law is the administrator of a Jewish elderly day care. Not a nursing home. Many of them would share their story with you.
I cant imagine what they endured.
Hank, I met many in my former job, myself. Chilling is a good choice of words. Surprisingly, most of them have very positive outlooks on life and uplifting stories to tell.
My favorite is a little Jewish gentleman who lives down in condo canyon on Miami Beach. If he is 5 ft tall, that is stretching it.
He told me the biggest reason he survived was he spoke German with a Bavarian accent. Hitler and all of his henchmen adored that area of Germany, as well as the adjacent section of Austria around Salzburg.
He said the second reason he survived was maintaining a positive attitude throughout his ordeal.
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
