They also take issue with the 6 million killed. They think it is less. Who knows for sure how many people were killed  But, most sources point to around 6 million. My point is everyone did suffer in WWII and Jews were not the only people in the camps - gay an other people were there as well.
This is such a touchy subject for alot of people. So, for the record - I think what Hitler did to the Jews, gay people, and Europe and the South Pacific was horrible on all levels. He was an evil maniac who persecuted the Jews and others and for that he can never be forgiven. |
The real bad part is that the U.S. didn't really have a gripe with Hitler, just that he was doing it so quickly. And we continued selling war machinery to them while we were fighting them. The business of capitalism must go on, y'know. And Henry Ford, who was a raging anti semite, built the engines for one of the germans top destructive bombs - neat-o!
