At the end of World War II with the advancement of
the British, American, and Russian forces, numerous
concentration and death camps were discovered and
filmed and are part of archival records.

Thousands of soldiers who witnessed the nightmare,
passed on their experiences to others for the public
record.

There were
news reporters and camera-men who recorded the
nightmare, all of them bore witness to a historical fact.

So today's Holocaust deniers who have never witnessed
or experienced the events on record should not be
taken seriously.

Today, we can know a great deal about those times. It is now
possible to explore the past by means of a large number
of books - including the Memoirs of Hitler's architect -
Albert Speer, "Inside The Third Reich," whose testimony
to what happened is crystal clear. There are not only books,
but documents from Nazi records, articles, films, and
archival material available for those wanting to know
the truth. One can visit museums, and libraries, and
government records, (Germans kept meticulous records)
to find the evidence. The evidence is available and it totally
brings the deniers allegations into disrepute.

No more needs to be said.

cont'd ...

The same applies to those who try to deny the
history of Indigenous-Settler relations.
As cited from Historian Henry Reynolds
earlier in this discussion - it is now
possible to explore the past by means of
large number of books, articles, films, novels,
songs, and paintings. Many voices have filled out
the space once claimes by Stanner's Great Australian
Silence. And, as Reynolds points out that:

"But knowing brings burdens which can be shirked by those
living in ignorance. With knowledge (in this case)
the question is no longer what we know but what we are now
to do, and that is a much harder matter to deal with."

It will continue to perplex us for many years to come.

Foxy,
The testimony of returned allied soldiers is extremely unrelaible.
Curtis Whiteway testifies that he and his unit over ran the Hadamar T4 facility near Lemburg Germany in 1945 and saw on their approach a vile cloud of smoke coming from the crematory ovens.

Trouble is the T4 program ended in 1941 and the Hadamar hospital's two single muffle Koris crematory furnaces were dismantled that year.
Whiteway probably got his information from a newsreel like this, which also makes the same mistake:

Hadamar was being used as a hospital at the end of the war, it's not surprising that there were thousands of corpses buried there, but note that they're all interred in individual marked graves?

There are numerous examples of this sort of tall story telling by veterans but it sank to new lows in the 1990's with outright fraud and fabrications such as the film "Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II"

Foxy have you ever seen the other photos of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen? There's a gallery here:
http://www.bergenbelsen.co.uk/pages/Database/SurvivorsPhotos.asp?index=10
There's a few pretty skinny, sick looking people in the actual photos but clearly the "walking skeletons" were a minority and the piles of corpses were those of people who'd died of disease immediately before liberation.

Jay,

'....There's a few pretty skinny, sick looking people in the actual photos but clearly the "walking skeletons" were a minority and the piles of corpses were those of people who'd died of disease immediately before liberation....".

Why were there so many deaths from disease, lack of duty of care?

Is mise,
You could put it that way, Belsen was designed to accomodate 10,000 people, by early 1945 it contained an estimated 60,000 inmates, an estimated 35,000 subsequently died as a result of Typhus, Dysentry, Cholera etc and all were weakened by starvation.
Look at the photo gallery and understand that those poor people had lived like that for months, with little food, no medicine whatsoever and on top of that outbreaks of disease and the harsh European winter conditions.
It's hard for us to imagine just how bad the situation was in Germany in 1945, there were piles of bodies everywhere, this photo of a cremation pyre is from Dresden:

It's also worth noting that many of the concentration camps were abandoned by the Germans days or weeks before liberation but the inmates had stayed put, the fact is that there was nowhere to go and conditions outside the wire were often just as bad as inside.
It's no wonder the liberating forces were outraged and horrified by what they found but Europe was totally devastated, there were starving, disease afflicted people roaming all over and atrocities against civilians were common.
Here's a rather disgusting film showing the mass murder of Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia in 1945, though I really don't recommend watching it if you're easily upset:

For those like Jay who doubt the Memoirs
written by notables like Primo Levi,
Viktor Frankl, and Elie Wiesel, to name just
a few, of their
times in the concentration camps. Who doubt
what Hitler's architect Albert Speer (who
designed the gas chambers in the concentration camps)
and confirmed what occurred there in his memoirs,
"Inside The Third Reich." And who can Google
photographic accounts that are available on the web -
and yet chooses to pay no heed. It's best not to
waste time arguing and worse - give them a platform
to argue from.

Survivor accounts tell the story. Their eyes saw what
no one should witness. Our efforts today instead of
arguing about the numbers of dead, how they died, and
whether some of them were not as "skeletal" as they
should have been. It should focus on making our children
and grandchildren more humane. And raising them to be
decent human beings so that we never again have to
experience these
monstors,skilled psychopaths or educated Eichmanns.

As for you Jay - you can take your websites - fold them
five times, and stick them where the sun doesn't shine!
