Soon there will be no living survivors to this tragedy, soon, only we as future generations must commit to never letting a horrendous genocide happen again.
Edit:
Wow front page! Not something to be super stoked about considering the subject matter but thanks for spreading the awareness of this everyone!

Hoping once the last survivor has passed away, this chapter in history will not be erased.

Depends on the results you follow, take a close look at /r/holocaust on reddit for example...

I met a REALLY bad missionary once. Told me at one point that "IF it happened, then you deserved it". (He was old enough to remember it)

Also claimed that Hitler was Jewish (demonstrably false, as are all claims about his heritage), and that most victims were Christian.

There's evidence to a great many things that people choose to deny.

I may be wrong, but doesn't most just question parts of it? Like the gas chambers and certain camps.

Just is a loaded word, but I have seen some arguments like it honestly. Usually it's about how many people were killed.

Poland are annoyed that German camps inside Poland are described as "Polish Concentration Camps".

8 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 2

Why not just call them "Concentration Camp". The Camps in Austria are called just that...

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

What with Anschluss and all I'd go with "Austrian Concentration Camps" for those

They didn't build themselves. Pretending no one was at fault is part of history erasure.

But to outlaw it also wipes away polish collaboration and the fact that alot of the camps/ghettos/gestapo in poland were run by poles

And that the some of polish population gleefully joined the atrocities of the nazis toward their Jewish neighbors

*sigh* Holocaust denial is rarely that they don't believe it happened, it's that they don't believe there were 6 million Jews that /1

Were killed. They believe closer to 500k. Also that the atrocities were greatly exaggerated in the books to use Germany as a scapegoat. /2/2

Oh, only half a million? Well, that's a horse of a different color. Half a million is . . . hang on, half a million is still monstrous.

the real question is why is the Holocaust always so emphasized in Jewish culture. there have been much much bigger genocides in history...

The downvotes you are receiving for an honest question are absolutely not fair.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Are you asking why Jews emphasize a genocide of Jews that killed 40% of our population in living memory in our own culture over others?

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

See Silamy’s answer. What do you expect them to say? ‘Oh well, we didn’t really like those millions of kinsmen anyway’.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

yet you do not see such an emphasis in other cultures such as Indians when they were under genocide by Muslims for over 700 years

It's the only one to happen in the modern world. Easy to see people of 500 years ago as cavemen, where genocide would almost be expected

Armenian Genocide (1915), Rewandan Genocide (1990), Bosnian Genocide (1995). Just to name a few

Because as a westerner that didn't effect us in any direct way. Hitler's Holocaust effected westerners directly and still to this day.
