Holocaust Remembrance Day--Yom HaShoah:

http://history1900s.about.com/cs/holocaust/a/yomhashoah.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_Remembrance_Day

It is especially important to remember the victims of the Holocaust in view of current developments, in particular the expressed intent of Iran to bring about another genocide in Israel and their imminent capability to do just that.
It must not be allowed to happen again. And I say this as a Gentile.

Are you doing anything today to observe Holocaust Remembrance Day?

I'd like to hear in particular from any relatives of Holocaust victims, or survivors. Or survivors themselves, if there are any here on NSG.

"It must not be allowed to happen again"; it happens all the time. The United States is responsible for God knows how many deaths, and genocide is happening all over the globe.

The Holocaust was a tragedy, just as the human race is.

No, it does not happen "all the tiime." Warfare is one thing. The deliberate policy of exterminating an entire ethnic group is something else. And to the extent that such policies are in place today, they must be stopped.

Othello was a tragedy. The Holocaust was a deliberate crime against humanity. Furthermore, "just as" falsely asserts equivalence between the two, and thus trivializes the Holocaust.

Mass-murder is mass-murder; dead is dead. Why the innocent are killed does not trouble so much as the fact that they were killed.

You spend your time to tell us to prevent genocide; tell me, what are you doing to prevent genocide in Darfur?

I still remember the story that my grandpa told me. He was serving in the military during WW II, and one day his troop went to a concentration camp. He never told us what he saw in there, and this was a man who would vividly describe the landing on Normandy Beach. Anyways, after he came out of the Concentration camp, he told his commanding officer to never, ever make him go in one of those before. He'd rather go down in a hail of gun fire than to go into another camp.

I didnt miss it. I read the transcript. It is, however, irrelevent. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad being an anti-semetic jackass doesnt change the fact that youre trying to use the victims of the fucking Holocaust to push your agenda. Ahmadinejad being a prick doesnt make you any less despicable.

Its a day to remember not just the Holocaust but all genocides. To reflect on the continuing use of state power to arbitarily torture and kill innocents by a number of our own countries as well as by foreigners far away from us, and our own scapegoating and prejudices against ethnic and religious minorities. Only by thinking about these uncomfortable truths can we do those who died in the Holocaust a proper honour; working seriously towards stopping atrocities like this happening again, anywhere, and consigning racism, and, actually, ALL forms of arbitrary and senseless discrimination, to the dustbin of history.

Leave it to you to take a shit all over the Holocaust, even when you pretend otherwise.

You don't know what "never again" means, and you're a fucking cowardly hypocrite hiding your psychopathic pro-genocide, pro-war beliefs behind Holocaust Remembrance. Even while you're pretending to believe in "never again" you are championing war, and you have supported the most de-humanizing language towards Muslims, liberals, homosexuals.

Never again means never again, for Muslims, Jews, anyone. No genocide. But you happily bang the drum of war and are even using this pretend-remembrence of yours as an excuse. Nuke Iran, amirite? Bomb it? That's what you want, right?

Just because your copy of Der Sturmer goes on about Muslim "barbarians" or homosexual "deviants" doesn't make you any less of a nazi. You'd happily let it happen "again," only with Muslims in the cattle cars.

Because you hate Muslims just as fervently, just as devoutly, just as irrationally as the Nazis hated Jews, you dirty the memory of all who died in the Holocaust, even while you pretend to give a shit.

People like me - you know, Jews, the people whose fear of genocide you are actually trying to use as an excuse to commit more genocide - know who to watch out for. And that's people like you. Beacuse given the least opportunity, you'll be goose-stepping and denouncing your neighbors and breaking glass with the rest of them.

So you can take your faux-remembrance, faux-compassion and shove it right up your faux-hetero ass.

Absolute bullshit. The homosexuals were treated as badly as any group deemed deviant by the Nazis, if not worse.

Here are a few facts about the treatment of homosexuals in camps.

1. As one of the most despised groups in the camps, homosexuals were denied access to privileged positions in the camps such as food distribution, labour assignments, and sick-bay referrals. Those who did not get into such positions had virtually no chance of escaping alive.

2. Homosexuals were frequently sent to the most high-mortality task in factories and quarries such as those producing V-2 rockets, an assignment widely regarded as an almost certain death sentence

3. They were a particualr target for medical experiments, such as hormone tests in Buchnwald which aimed to make them heterosexual by castrating them then injecting them with huge doses of male hormones

4. Few of the other inmates were interested in cooperating with homosexuals, meaning that they were rejected from clandestine committees and isolated within the camp, lacking the normal support network. Friends and close relatives were afraid to try and stay in contact with them in case they were found to be guilty by association.

5. Alongside the Jews, the homosexuals were the group the SS regarded as most despicable, and were thus the main targets of humiliation rituals.

6. After 'liberation', homosexuals did not receive any sort of compensation or aid, since their activities were still illegal. Indeed, in many cases, they were transferred to standard prisons to serve sentences for their sexual crimes.

Source:
Richard Plant, The pink triangle : the Nazi war against homosexuals

I suggest you familiarize yourself with this book (or, indeed, any respected book on the topic) before you come on here spouting more insulting and inaccurate shit.

The Nazis were as disgusted by homosexuality as they were by Judaism, and homosexuals suffered treatment amonst the worst of any group within the camps. Furthermore, when the war ended, they received no recompense, unlike all other groups. How dare you dismiss their deaths and suffering as insignificant because recognizing their suffering doesn't fit your political agenda. You disgust me.

Eventually I may begin another thread debunking the so-called "gay holocaust." For the time being, I will note the following:

1) about 85% of all Jews in Germany and German-occupied territories were rounded up. That's six million. About 1% of homosexuals in the same area were arrested.

2) Jews were targeted for extermination. Homosexuals were arrested for criminal violations (e.g., Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code).

3) Jews were virtually never released from extermination camps. Homosexuals could be released from prison by renouncing homosexual behavior. To quote a survivor with direct knowledge of the subject:

"All they [those accused of being homosexual] had to do to get out [of the camp] was to sign a paper to say that they had been rehabilitated and wouldn’t do it [engage in homosexual activity] anymore . . . .They were allowed to go back to their families. [sic: "]They were not targeted to die. Not like we were."

Stephan Ross, Holocaust survivor, as quoted in The Massachusetts News, April 5, 2000 (emphasis added).

4) the punishment for hiding Jews was death. There was no such punishment for hiding homosexuals.

Just because you agree with Hitler that they should be whiped out doesnt mean that they arent people.

Well, yes (http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10005261) there were. The prisoners got pink triangles identifying them as homosexuals, and some Nazis believed that hard work and humiliation - being put into a concentration camp, in other words - would "cure" the "deviant" behavior.

It's pretty darkly amusing that NM poo-poo'd Holocaust Deniers and then went right on to denying that homosexuals were victimized by the Nazis just as the Jews were. Or dismissing it since hey, 100,000 is less than 6 million, so it doesn't count or something.

And it doesn't surprise me he's not going to "dignify" us with some bullshit defense, because there isn't one. His use of the term "deviant" is indefensible, completely fitting with Nazi propaganda about homosexuals, and quite reminiscent of terms like Gemeinschaftsfremd or Untermenschen.

1) about 85% of all Jews in Germany and German-occupied territories were rounded up. That's six million. About 1% of homosexuals in the same area were arrested.

Firstly, thats not in your source. Secondly, even if it happens to be true, that doesn't change the fact that homosexuals, when found, were sent to camps and tortured and killed. And yet you think acknowledging them as victims of the holocaust is insulting to the Jews.


2) Jews were targeted for extermination. Homosexuals were arrested for criminal violations (e.g., Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code).

Yes, and the law you were charged under in Nazi Germany meant so much for how prisoners were treated. What with their respect for the rule of law, proportionate sentences and all that :rolleyes:


3) Jews were virtually never released from extermination camps. Homosexuals could be released from prison by renouncing homosexual behavior. To quote a survivor with direct knowledge of the subject:

"All they [those accused of being homosexual] had to do to get out [of the camp] was to sign a paper to say that they had been rehabilitated and wouldn’t do it [engage in homosexual activity] anymore . . . .They were allowed to go back to their families. [sic: "]They were not targeted to die. Not like we were."

Well, isn't it odd such a large proportion of those in the camps died and were treated just as inhumanely as the Jews, when they could have signed a piece of paper and got out. Its good to see your only source is one man, who quite possibly has an agenda like you, in the face of academic writings and more respectable Jewish sources showing how badly the homosexuals were treated. But your one guy quoted in a newspaper is blatantly more credible :rolleyes:

4) the punishment for hiding Jews was death. There was no such punishment for hiding homosexuals.

Given guilt by association and, again, the freedom for the enforcers of the law to completely ignore it, the punishment for hiding homosexuals would of course more likely be being accused of being one yourself, and being sent to a camp, bearing in mind a lot of the imprisoned 'homosexuals' weren't actually gay, but had just been denounced as such.

In short, revisionist nonsense, backed up with almost nothing. You never fail to disappoint.

To be fair, many scholars and historians use the word 'holocaust' to refer specifically to the crimes against the Jews, not that the crimes against other people weren't also horrific and severe. It is not accepted fact by any means that the holocaust refers to all the severe crimes committed by the Nazis, considering the history and etymology of the word, what it does refer to is up to debate (http://isurvived.org/Frameset4References-3/-Holocaust-YadVashem.html).

while the act of homosexuality is something that I don't agree with, the treatment of the Homosexuals during that time is something that should also be regretted. reguardless of their race, religion or lifestyle, those people were human.

It doesn't matter if they were treated better, worse or the same as the Jews, they were singled out, rounded up and put into camps that we wouldn't send our hardened criminals today. let's cut the quibbling and remember the loss of life and the methods used to take those lives.

I should not become angry so much, but the Holocaust just feels off-limits to me. It is not something that should be used to justify murder. As stupid as it seems, if NM just made an honest thread about bombing the Middle East, he probably would have gotten a more mellow reaction out of me.

Leave it to you to take a shit all over the Holocaust, even when you pretend otherwise.

You don't know what "never again" means, and you're a fucking cowardly hypocrite hiding your psychopathic pro-genocide, pro-war beliefs behind Holocaust Remembrance. Even while you're pretending to believe in "never again" you are championing war, and you have supported the most de-humanizing language towards Muslims, liberals, homosexuals.

Never again means never again, for Muslims, Jews, anyone. No genocide. But you happily bang the drum of war and are even using this pretend-remembrence of yours as an excuse. Nuke Iran, amirite? Bomb it? That's what you want, right?

Just because your copy of Der Sturmer goes on about Muslim "barbarians" or homosexual "deviants" doesn't make you any less of a nazi. You'd happily let it happen "again," only with Muslims in the cattle cars.

Because you hate Muslims just as fervently, just as devoutly, just as irrationally as the Nazis hated Jews, you dirty the memory of all who died in the Holocaust, even while you pretend to give a shit.

People like me - you know, Jews, the people whose fear of genocide you are actually trying to use as an excuse to commit more genocide - know who to watch out for. And that's people like you. Beacuse given the least opportunity, you'll be goose-stepping and denouncing your neighbors and breaking glass with the rest of them.

Honestly, I was considering asking the Mods if it would be acceptable if we started a new thread without the argument, but I don't see how it would last.

Well, if you read the OP you'd see why.

I have, and I'm not saying it's not deserved.

This thread seems to have dissolved into a way to slag off NM rather than to show respect to those who died.

But it was never about showing respect, it was about a political agenda.

no, NM chose to deny SOME of the holocaust victims.

Right, so that's only somewhat being a Holocaust Denier? It's only somewhat ignoring, forgetting and dismissing the horror and cruelty of the Holocaust?

I think denying even ONE Holocaust victim is just as loathsome as denying every last one.

or you can use other methods to show that the Ham Sandwich NM is trying to sell is actually a club sandwich that incorporates more than just Ham.

Now why would I want to lie? Look, just because he titled this thread 'Holocaust Remembrance Day' doesn't mean his very first post wasn't about his political belief that war must be waged against Iran, or that his subsequent posts haven't been the very examples of his multifaceted bigotry that I was referring to.

I'm all for remembering the Holocaust, and I can't help but remember it every time I see New Mitanni discuss his "political" views about the minorities he despises and fears.

Such is the way of NSG, though. This is a debate forum, and people come here looking for it.

Most of what is happening is not debate. When people come into a forum and say "you're a fucking hypocritical coward" and accuse him of wanting to nuke Iran and kill all homosexuals etc..., that is not legitimate extrapolations from the OP, that's bringing up prior disputes and conflicts, and using this thread as an excuse to attack him for things he has said in the past. It's off topic.

What about attacking him for denying that gays were killed? I brought that up in relation to the OP and he denyed it.

I'll concede that point. I was mostly talking about the responses to NM's "The homosexual holocaust is a myth" revelation.

But even then, this is NSG. Dragging in past conflicts to spark arguments is the second most popular pastime, after excessive fluffling.

Ha. Ha. Ha. You're sooooo funny. I'm merely saying that holding the belief that Iran's government wants to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth does not make you Islamophobic.

It is the fellow's history. If he were new, we probably would not have pounded him so hard, but during his time here has repeatedly given indications of bigotry against Muslims, and has advised near-genocidal action in the Middle East.

:fluffle::fluffle:

New Mitanni really can't help making 'off topic' posts regarding his hatred of Muslims and gays 'on topic,' because the hatred just oozes out of him in a way he seems almost helpless to stop. Almost.

Anyway, I'll stop now, I said what I needed to say already and the rest is just indulgent outrage.

Of course he'd like it to happen. He has publicly expressed his disdain for Israel, but considering how often he actually does what he claims he will do, Israel doesn't have too much to worry about right now.

Considering that Israel is far more powerful than them and have the west's support.

Seeing how there is another Holocaust thread, and it doesn't have a clear agenda, I've decided to give this one a dignified death.

You, sir, are a liar. And if you had the balls to say that to my face, you would now be looking for your teeth.

Of all the vitriol in this thread, I find this one sticking out the most. There is nothing wrong with passionately defending your beliefs, or even holding controversial beliefs, but I find this bit disturbing. Threatening another poster is never good practice. If this was a different poster, I might just give one day, but New Mitanni has shown he is unrepentant, so I'm upping the ante to three days.
