Plus a few other countries with variant denominations. Wiki. So, if it happens here the forum could have serious legal problems. And I'm not "respectful" with criminals.

http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~kunliu1/Nanjing_Massacre.html They remained vicious lowlifes during WWII http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes http://listverse.com/2014/05/06/10-j...-world-war-ii/ The Tokyo Trials are here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...r_the_Far_East I've read up a lot about the Japanese soldiers and scientists (sic) at that time, far too few were executed. They were a nation without any honour at that time and personally I think events like the firebombing of Tokyo and the two atomic bombs went some way to address the balance of the shocking violence they spread all over Asia and they certainly have taken the sting out of the Japanese tail since.

I can honestly say this is probably the best thread I have ever seen on here. Unless you are Mel Gibson. Sorry, if I just ruined the thread. Eisenhower had the journalist and his own publicity crews take 1000's of photos and 100's of hours of film of the concentration camps. When asked why he did this he told reporters, "So NO ONE EVER forgets." My grandfather was a prison guard on Okinawa for the Army/Air core after the war ended (Many German soldiers were sent there.) He guarded many prisoners for almost a year after the war ended. The interesting thing was your average German soldier stayed away form the Totenkopf. When I was a kid one of my grandfather's friends was a Jew who was liberated and helped him in Okinawa with the prisoners. Both him and his wife had the tattoos on there left arm. They were kindest most wonderful people I ever met. This is the really sad part and it is two fold and many people kind of glazed over it. Stalin killed 11 to 12 million of his own people including Gypsies, Jews, Homosexuals, and anyone who disagreed with him. He was never tried because he was an ally. Finally, this is the saddest part. The Nuremburg Eugenic Laws were based on laws the United States had formulated back in the early 1920's. As were many of the sterilization procedures used on Jews in the beginning. The Holocaust happened and like it or not us Americans are forever a part of it. Forgive me, if I upset anyone, it was not my intention. I felt the additional history lesson was necessary. Mods if this post is over the top please remove it.

As Far as "respecting deniers". I personly don't. It's just that First amendment thing I get stuck with. I'll tolerate it as long as it doesn't turn to hate. Then I begin to lose it. |

Thankfully i haven't lost any family in the camps myself (one grandfather had been a POW though, and had to work in Poland on a farm).
I remember the first time i got into contact with the holocaust myself: it was in school, i was about 14 and we had to pair up and give a presentation in morality/ethics class (the class for those that didn't have religion class) on a self chosen topic. A schoolmate happened to bring a book to school called: "Het boek der kampen" (the Book of Camps) and, though i was a horror film fan, i had never been so shocked in my life about what i saw. Me and my buddy instantly knew we had to take this topic. That book was filled with very (very!) graphical photos, stories and anecdotes. I'll spare you all the details (i am sure most of you know them well enough) While i have never seen the book again since then, it is still burned in my memory after all that time (and i know my buddy who did the assignment with me has the same) I might have translated it from Dutch a bit too literal, but i think it is a real word, yes. |

Back in the late 80's I knew a Holocaust denier - a deaf ex soldier he was. He used to come it to the bookshop I worked in and rant on and on at the top of his voice about Jewish World Conspiracies and the Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion. Smart enough guy but also a sad lonely f*ck, half out of his bleedin' mind - as I'm sure most of these deniers are - all they do is make fools of themselves and I'd let them - it's amusing and it's not hurting anybody. |

Actually O it is:: an adherent of a doctrine or theory of mere negation
Kind of an oxymoron definition but it is a word. |
