There was a program on Channel 4 at the weekend which was about a documentary that was never finished in the late 40s.
The IWM have now completed the edit.
All the film was from cameramen in the field at the time and it was one of the most horrific programs I have seen.
I think everyone knows and has seen the photos, but some of the footage was like nothing I'd ever seen. i nearly had to turn it off.
It was very humbling to hear from some of the survivors and some of the soldiers who were there at the liberation of the camps.

This was the program if you want to 'catch up'.

And when people try and freakin deny it even happened, what the hell is wrong with them?!

There are some convincing arguments out there. Have you given them the time to consider for yourself?

Really there aren't and the fact that the only people that hang on to them tend to be either Islamists or Far Right groups should tell you something about just how valid they are.

So why did the vast majority of Germans accept it happened and forever changed how they would act in the future?
There are no convincing arguments and every one I've seen have been by kids on You Tube. I actually feel dirty that I've sat through at least 50 of them.

Yeah. I briefly considered them and within an instant my brain kicked in And realised just how insane their arguments are

Only a monkey on drugs would think there were some convincing arguments out there!

I have been to auschwitz, being half polish.

Many more non jews than jews were killed in Nazi concentration camps. In fact the 6 million number is widely disputed by reputable historians. In fact Churchill himself referred to 'serveral hundred thousand' Jewish deaths in his post war commentary.

Damn those evil right wingers, if only they were right about everything like us lefties.

And before anyone says anything no I'm not denying it happened.

Giving the names of 6 books isn't a source!

I did some digging and found this on www.winstonchurchill.org

Between 18 July and 30 August 1941, at least seven such top-secret signals were read by British Intelligence. They referred to four categories of victims: Jews, Jewish plunderers, Jewish Bolsheviks and Russian soldiers. They reported, if one adds them up, more than 50,000 executions in an area where we now know that many hundreds of thousands of killings were taking place. Churchill was shown these. In a speech in September he referred to the killings in the East as being unprecedented and barbaric.

Please don't tell me this is the evidence you're using.
