Holocaust Memorial Day

A survey commissioned by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, published to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day, finds:

- 5 % of UK adults do not believe the Holocaust actually happened

- 8 % believe it has been exaggerated

- 20 % believe the death toll was less than two million

- 45 % don't know how many died

Do we have any of the 5-8 % among us who can explain why they think that?

Do we put too much emphasis on waving a poppy in the air once a year instead of reminding people what it was actually all about?

Arrange an educational tour of 2/3 of the camps so they can see for themselves? Better still do a virtual reality shower at one of the locations!

I was shocked and disappointed when I saw these figures earlier. The key ones (All elements were important), potentially showing how malleable peoples' minds are, upon factual evidence, the 5% denying and 8% thinking it was exaggerated.

Not suprising when

People still do not believe Slavery was a real thing.

That British governments allowed

A million + People, in 2 countries to starve to death & tried to blame it on famine, when no famine existed.

Your point about to much emphasis on waving a poppy in the air instead of what it is about and why is very very valid,I applaud your post

Genuinely why? Their is no need to force this as a subject on to children especially young children in schools. It's not appropriate at all these events didn't happen in their life time why is it their responsibility to be educated on the subject? I remember being taught about the Highland Clearances in secondary school have spoken to many younger people since that didn't have a clue what i was talking about? The ciriculum should advance with the times not stop to aknowledge one period in history darker than another especially from a s western perspective. Ive never heard anyone mention The Balfour Decleration the terms set by the US for assistance in WW1 Lord Rothschild insisted control of Palestine be given over to the Jewish Nation the UK obliged and the war was won. Their's also the Napoleonic Wars where Rothschild's family provided funding and weapons to both sides in order to influence and manipulate the post war global economy. I know this reads like a crack pot conspiracy theory so i apologies but i think their's some parts of history we happily ignore and the more mcabre parts are in some cases glorified or used to facilitate other peoples agendas.

So quick question.

Do you think young people shouldn't be taught about the foundation and evolution of democracy?

Or how the British poor won the right to vote?

Never forget.

I met a man called Zigi Shipper last summer. He was a holocaust survivor.

He gave such a wonderful talk. When asked what would he say if he ever met Hitler today or in the afterlife? He said he would simply show him a picture of his beautiful grandchildren and say you didn’t win.

Unfortunately he sees parallels in today’s society with what he went through.

It is a crackpot conspiracy, yet you're repeating it.

Don't learn about the unpleasant parts of history that teach us that progress is not inevitable?

Pretend that we aren't capable of such acts of hatred?

Excellent idea.

Ostrich-style education

I learned about the holocaust, the Balfour declaration and the Stern gang. No agenda.

Why is the Holocaust being used to represent the evolution of democracy? Also what place does it have in the education of children now in the current political climate?

I noticed you ignored the examples ive given you of corrupt goverments and third parties self serving agenda's when its come to any of these major conflicts. It seems people like to cherry pick which parts of history they would prefer to remember and it's this kind of attitude that makes things worse. It makes me sick to think concentration camps in Auschwitz are now essentially dark tourist hot spots 100 euros for a tour with an english speaking tour guide. How is that acceptable to capitilise off the back of mass genocide and what message does that send to a young child at school?

When something appears so terrible people don't believe it unless they experienced it.

Ignorance is bliss.

Some people choose not to believe it. That's rather different.

Wilful ignorance is collusion, which takes us back to civilian populations in Germany and the occupied countries.

The Dutch were enthusiastic exporters of Jews, enabled by their civilian police.

I suspect the UK would have been the same, but we were never tested. Remember we could have been Hitler's ally but for blind luck...

It seems to me that to fail to recognise and educate people about the significance of such evil is tantamount to the encouragement of holocaust denial, which can only come about as a result of ignorance of events.

Please do not tell me that your intention was to encourage through apathy, the concept of holocaust denial?

Ive explained my position over and over all im getting is knee jerk reactions that have nothing to do with what i posted. AGAIN! Why is the holocaust to be used as an educational tool for children in 2018 and what makes this horrible period in history more appropriate to be tought than say mass genocides commited by us or our allies? The malayan war etc where woman and children were burned to death in their homes by British troops.it seems like self serving BS to represent the noble west fighting for the good of humanity people need to educate their children on a broader picture of our military exploits over time not just the ones that make us out to be the good guys.

I see the point you make .

Nobody seemed to notice 2 points i made about genocide in Ireland &India , or the Slave trade.

The general point i make is similar to yours , in that it does seem to be the most publicised tragic event in human history.

More died at the hands of Stalin

But it is never celebrated.

We dont remember the massacre in phnom pehn or the abuses dished out in South africa etc.

The sooner Human beings accept we are all capable of evil heinous acts the quicker we realise we strive to avoid carrying them out.

My response is the following, history is linear in correspondence to the natural laws of time and space.

Ideally, everyone would learn about every historical event. But that's not possible.

Instead we choose to educate people on major historical events in relation to our history. Given that the Holocaust was a major event in the Second world war, which led to the formation of the post war world and it's varying institutions, it's tied to major events.

Remember, at Nuremberg the allies prosecuted the remaining Nazi leaders and their allies under international law for the first time. Given that is the foundation of many of our lives it's fairly important.

P.s, in relation to many of your others posts I suspect the reason why kids don't get taught about attrocities done by this country is because it becomes political football by the right wing politicians and press.

Finally common sense thankyou you have put it better than i had so again thankyou and i aoplogise to anyone that has taken this out of context. Their are so many "Grey Areas" in our political history and the Holocaust is used as a defining point of our noble conquest to defend democracy. I don't think it's appropriate to force feed this opinion to children it's a very one sided view and extremely dangerous especially when children are not given the time or information to question these facts in school. One good dead can't and won't make up for generations of hate and oppression.

Is it not unfortunate how so many on here feel the need to dilute the message of the Holocaust. The need to point the finger ....The Holocaust message is not about being anti-German it is about the need for man to ensure this evil is shown for what it was.Otherwise we are doomed to repeat the mistakes again and again

Again theirs my point not all the facts are made available to these kids i doubt in history class the kids will be taught about the Nazi scientists given asylum in the US and russia after the war? The advancements in medicine due to the disgusting experiments commited in the concentration camps that the US have happily capitalised on ever since and the redistribution of wealth, division of territories and resources. The US takeover of the German pharmaceutical industry. Educate children in all aspects of these attrocities the political spectrums of the time, the terms and conditions of allied support, and finally the economic growth and decay of each country/state involved. I think with that kind of information available children would be able to make a more informed sensible opinion on the matters rather than proud british rhetoric and half a story.

Then you missed my point.

The second world war is very pertinent to the world today. It set the entire structure of international organisations to this day as well as the, now reasserted, Cold War. The holocaust is a very important part of how the Middle East political situation formed.

Not teaching it is foolish. I didn't say teach it badly either. Teenagers are perfectly capable of understanding the complexity and moral ambiguity of what came after.

Teach it properly.

If we spent more time learning about British defeats and acts of savagery we wouldn't be so foolish as to think we are more important than we really are in the modern world.

I did not say don't teach that either.

However, to be clear, there is only so much time in the curriculum isn't there?

Perhaps there's a case for a unexamined part of the curriculum to cover these things. Practically nobody on this country understands how government works or how laws are made either.

You would help yourself if you considered what point you were making before you launched into an easily misinterpreted "rant".

I get what _naq is saying and others about our own historical wrong doings, I was educated in Liverpool in the mid 60s to the same point in the 70s and was only told about how part of the Cities wealth was from the slave trade from a relative..

It was ignored by the system..

Certainly the significance of the holocaust should never be not taught, but alongside the many other episodes where 'man's' treatment of others has fallen short and why..

Genocide.

The Highland Clearances were different, in the sense people were transported alive.

Ethnic cleansing, yes.

Not genocide, though.

Think about what you are saying we are basically arguing over the same point i disagree with how that period is presented to children in school. I agree with you about how the actions taken by countries/states has set the current political infrastructure my problem is with how that information is presented the trade deals over territories and resources that as you say shaped the current political spectrum are generally not a factor in the discussion. This is what i think should be the defining point not the attrocities themselves but the political power structures that come afterwards and how the redistribution of resources and wealth are implemented by the newly formed and generally corrupt super powers. The situation in the middle east is exactly why i brought up the Balfour Decleration earlier the fact that from ww1 power of occupied territories was a condition of allied support. None of this is will be taught so in my mind its hypocritical to only discuss the parts relevant to "our" history

You are quite the conspiracy theorist. In thus case quite surprising considering how much you hate Germans.

The Germans are really, really good at keeping records. The deaths in the concentration camps are recorded in great detail.

Deaths in Russia were field executions. Whole villages.

Had to be worked out from pre and post war census records.

Could just be a ploy for more sympathy because obviously killing 6 million people is much worse than only 3 million

I attribute it to the British, which included a significant proportion of Scots of the Presbyterian ethic.

The clearances were a response to 1745 and an opportunity to destroy the clan system and the power base of a predominantly Catholic area.

The clearances were a response to 1745 and an opportunity to destroy the clan system and the power base of a predominantly Catholic area.

"

Sorry but much of this is myth and there's plenty of evidence to show that's the case. I know recently we've had some nationalists using it as another reason to stoke grievance by trying to claim it was genocide or ethnic cleansing but it was mainly landlords, many of whom were Scottish, clearing the land of subsitence farmers for sheep, which were more lucrative. This is the view of historians.

Surprisingly one of the biggest nationalist websites has an article debunking the myth as well. Credit is due to them for publishing it.

https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2018/02/21/on-myths-of-genocide/

Even the wiki site gives a fairly decent history of the clearances along with the reasons for them.

It did happen, but there was never six million Jews in Europe to start with. The number six million was tortured out of Adolf Eichman by MOSSAD.

That puts you in the 8 per cent.

Would you like a shot at the 5 per cent?

You really can't provide any information to back your position either.

For instance, what is the motivation to lie about how many died?

Why maintain such a lie if you can apparently "debunk" it with such ease?

"Genuinely why? Their is no need to force this as a subject on to children especially young children in schools. It's not appropriate at all these events didn't happen in their life time why is it their responsibility to be educated on the subject? I remember being taught about the Highland Clearances in secondary school have spoken to many younger people since that didn't have a clue what i was talking about? The ciriculum should advance with the times not stop to aknowledge one period in history darker than another especially from a s western perspective. Ive never heard anyone mention The Balfour Decleration the terms set by the US for assistance in WW1 Lord Rothschild insisted control of Palestine be given over to the Jewish Nation the UK obliged and the war was won. Their's also the Napoleonic Wars where Rothschild's family provided funding and weapons to both sides in order to influence and manipulate the post war global economy. I know this reads like a crack pot conspiracy theory so i apologies but i think their's some parts of history we happily ignore and the more mcabre parts are in some cases glorified or used to facilitate other peoples agendas."
By ignoring them they are more likely to repeat,history is the best subject to be studied to teach people to think and evaluate in my view

The amount of people that do not seem to care about this and other dark events scares the shit out of me.

Since the holocaust there has been Pol Pot in Cambodia,estimated that 2 million people slautered there.Idi Amin in Uganda and more.By not caring how do you know that one day it will not happen to your and your family no matter what colour,race or religion you are.Happened here under Henry 8th,ok a long time ago but you never know so if we all cared a bit more we can stop it in the future maybe.

"A survey commissioned by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, published to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day, finds:

- 5 % of UK adults do not believe the Holocaust actually happened

- 8 % believe it has been exaggerated

- 20 % believe the death toll was less than two million

- 45 % don't know how many died

Do we have any of the 5-8 % among us who can explain why they think that?

Do we put too much emphasis on waving a poppy in the air once a year instead of reminding people what it was actually all about?

It did happen, but there was never six million Jews in Europe to start with. The number six million was tortured out of Adolf Eichman by MOSSAD.

You are quite the conspiracy theorist. In thus case quite surprising considering how much you hate Germans.

The Germans are really, really good at keeping records. The deaths in the concentration camps are recorded in great detail.

Deaths in Russia were field executions. Whole villages.

Had to be worked out from pre and post war census records.

Could just be a ploy for more sympathy because obviously killing 6 million people is much worse than only 3 million "

It isn't strange that this sort of garbage is spouted when there is not enough education about what happened.....nor what happened in Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia....the list goes on.

Sadly, people tend to disregard reality when it doesn't suit their own bigotry, racism, xenophobia or plain prejudice.

Ps....Eichmann was captured in 1960. Looking at the transcripts of the Nuremberg trials in 1946, the figure of 6 million Jews was quoted as early as the opening speeches.

Please do enlighten us as to where your alternative history has come from?

It's probably come from a couple of Youtube videos. Whenever I've had discussion with conspiracy theorists (before I learned not to bother as it's pointless) they always, without fail, pointed to some cranky youtube videos as evidence of their beliefs.

Many people get confused between the Holocaust as a whole the extermination camps and concentration camps.

The 5% doesn't surprise me though and I'm sure if you took the poll in say Luton you'd find a surprisingly higher figure but country wide 5% is about right.

Actually, just for a change the white ethno-nationalist might be touching on something although he has found his own way to interpret it.

Not specifically because they're Muslim or because they are holocaust deniers or apologists or minimsers. Because if there are a high incidence of first generation immigrants they will never have been taught about it. Remember that even the Polish have taken an exception to any association with the holocaust even though they have no responsibility for having extermination camps on their soil.

Those born here are far more likely to know about what happened.

In their 2008 report on contemporary Arab-Muslim antisemitism, the Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center dates the beginning of this phenomenon to the spread of classic European Christian antisemitism into the Arab world starting in the late 19th century.[6] In 2014, the Anti-Defamation League published a global survey of worldwide antisemitic attitudes, reporting that in the Middle East, 74% of adults agreed with a majority of the survey's eleven antisemitic propositions, including that "Jews have too much power in international financial markets" and that "Jews are responsible for most of the world's wars."[7][8].

That's not just Muslims is it? Ignorance of the holocaust doesn't make someone anti-Semitic either. Denial may well do.

I'm not saying that Muslims do not hold an animus against Jews. That would not be surprising, but it does not actually support your proposition.

I've taken this from the Jewish chronicles as I didn't know if it was allowed and didn't want you to report me for it?.

In a survey of 5,466 British adults, the prevalence of anti-Semitic views among Muslim respondents was two to four times higher than in any other segment of the population.

The results are part of a report titled “Anti-Semitism in contemporary Great Britain” that the London-based Institute for Jewish Policy Research published Monday based on face-to-face interviews and online questioners conducted earlier this year and in 2016 with help from the Community Security Trust, or CST.

“The prevalence of negativity towards Jews and Israel is, on average, twice as high among Muslims than the general population,” states the 85-page report, which includes data from interviews with 995 self-identified Muslims of varying degrees of observance, as well as 529 respondents from the far left and 355 from the far right.

Whereas nearly 80 percent of Christian respondents agreed with the statement that “a British Jew is just as British as any other British person,” only 61 percent of Muslims and 59 percent of the Muslims who described themselves as religious concurred.

Among Muslims, 28 percent agreed with the assertion that “Jews think they are better than other people,” compared to 13 percent in the general population. Among Muslims, 14 percent said the Holocaust was exaggerated compared to 4 percent in the general population and 8 percent said the Holocaust is a myth compared to only 1 percent in the larger group.

Good Googling

I'm sure you had this information at your fingertips before you posted earlier

As I actually said, as we are once again in the realms of micro-victories, I agreed with the fact that a higher than average number of Muslims would deny the holocaust by dint of their education and upbringing.

The survey sample age over 55 was more than 30%. With the best will in the world the majority of Muslims in this age group will be immigrants in the category that I described. They are still British Muslims.

For the avoidance of doubt, Muslims are likely to be more anti-Semitic due to the on-going conflicts in the middle east. Denial of the holocaust is also likely to be higher than average but primarily due to an older age group educated abroad.

So, once again, we are agreeing that Muslims are more likely to deny the holocaust but the conclusions you jump to when you look at the data which is to say that this applies to all Muslims.

There is very likely to be a generational difference which has not been analysed in the data as far as I can see. Look at the Brexit vote that Centaur gets so bent out of shape about.

Among Muslims, 14 percent said the Holocaust was exaggerated compared to 4 percent in the general population and 8 percent said the Holocaust is a myth compared to only 1 percent in the larger group.

I'm sure you had this information at your fingertips before you posted earlier

As I actually said, as we are once again in the realms of micro-victories, I agreed with the fact that a higher than average number of Muslims would deny the holocaust by dint of their education and upbringing.

The survey sample age over 55 was more than 30%. With the best will in the world the majority of Muslims in this age group will be immigrants in the category that I described. They are still British Muslims.

For the avoidance of doubt, Muslims are likely to be more anti-Semitic due to the on-going conflicts in the middle east. Denial of the holocaust is also likely to be higher than average but primarily due to an older age group educated abroad.

So, once again, we are agreeing that Muslims are more likely to deny the holocaust but the conclusions you jump to when you look at the data which is to say that this applies to all Muslims.

There is very likely to be a generational difference which has not been analysed in the data as far as I can see. Look at the Brexit vote that Centaur gets so bent out of shape about."

.

No I never said it applied to all Muslims you just made that up like alot of other things.

What I said was I can foresee where that 5% probably comes from and as my references and you concur, it's primarily the three main suspects that I outlined.

Muslims, communists (far left) and then the far right or sections of.

But don't worry I didn't mind being called white ethno nationalist by yourself or writing the most poisonous thing the lady had ever seen (just facts), it's all part of life's rich pageant as the globalists would say.

Straight from Wikipedia you could try looking instead of name calling.

In their 2008 report on contemporary Arab-Muslim antisemitism, the Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center dates the beginning of this phenomenon to the spread of classic European Christian antisemitism into the Arab world starting in the late 19th century.[6] In 2014, the Anti-Defamation League published a global survey of worldwide antisemitic attitudes, reporting that in the Middle East, 74% of adults agreed with a majority of the survey's eleven antisemitic propositions, including that "Jews have too much power in international financial markets" and that "Jews are responsible for most of the world's wars."[7][8].

...and holocaust denial?.

I think that falls under the 11 antisemitic propositions?.

According to the ADL announcement, "only 54 percent of those polled globally have ever heard of the Holocaust," the Nazi-led genocide of Europe's Jewish population before and during World War II, in which an estimated 6 million Jewish men, women and children were systematically exterminated. "Two out of three people surveyed have either never heard of the Holocaust, or do not believe historical accounts to be accurate," the ADL reported.

That's not just Muslims is it? Ignorance of the holocaust doesn't make someone anti-Semitic either. Denial may well do.

I'm not saying that Muslims do not hold an animus against Jews. That would not be surprising, but it does not actually support your proposition..

I've taken this from the Jewish chronicles as I didn't know if it was allowed and didn't want you to report me for it?.

In a survey of 5,466 British adults, the prevalence of anti-Semitic views among Muslim respondents was two to four times higher than in any other segment of the population.

The results are part of a report titled “Anti-Semitism in contemporary Great Britain” that the London-based Institute for Jewish Policy Research published Monday based on face-to-face interviews and online questioners conducted earlier this year and in 2016 with help from the Community Security Trust, or CST.

“The prevalence of negativity towards Jews and Israel is, on average, twice as high among Muslims than the general population,” states the 85-page report, which includes data from interviews with 995 self-identified Muslims of varying degrees of observance, as well as 529 respondents from the far left and 355 from the far right.

Whereas nearly 80 percent of Christian respondents agreed with the statement that “a British Jew is just as British as any other British person,” only 61 percent of Muslims and 59 percent of the Muslims who described themselves as religious concurred.

Among Muslims, 28 percent agreed with the assertion that “Jews think they are better than other people,” compared to 13 percent in the general population.

"British Muslims are 8 times more likely to deny the Holocaust than the control group."

They are but that is a generalisation isn't it?

You are a self proclaimed racial and religious separatist, so there's nothing to forgive me for

Have I mistaken what you were writing before? People shouldn't stay where they are in their own ethnic, religious and geographical locations without mixing too much?

no swastikas on a Sunday, no Jack boot marching!, that's all in your head not mine.

I didn't say people should stay where they are, I said in general people prefer to stay where they are and usually are only forced out by living standards and of course the west's freedoms.

It did happen, but there was never six million Jews in Europe to start with. The number six million was tortured out of Adolf Eichman by MOSSAD.

It isn't strange that this sort of garbage is spouted when there is not enough education about what happened.....nor what happened in Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia....the list goes on.

Sadly, people tend to disregard reality when it doesn't suit their own bigotry, racism, xenophobia or plain prejudice.

Ps....Eichmann was captured in 1960. Looking at the transcripts of the Nuremberg trials in 1946, the figure of 6 million Jews was quoted as early as the opening speeches.

Please do enlighten us as to where your alternative history has come from?

It's probably come from a couple of Youtube videos. Whenever I've had discussion with conspiracy theorists (before I learned not to bother as it's pointless) they always, without fail, pointed to some cranky youtube videos as evidence of their beliefs.

Youtube....the 21st century version of a back of a fag packet."

regarding youtube, the best news I have is their new crackdown on conspiracy channels, while i dont think it is exactly censorship, I think it's more about those who will be unable to earn money from such channels.

https://youtube.googleblog.com/

We’ll continue that work this year, including taking a closer look at how we can reduce the spread of content that comes close to—but doesn’t quite cross the line of—violating our Community Guidelines. To that end, we’ll begin reducing recommendations of borderline content and content that could misinform users in harmful ways—such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11.

flattards are going crazy

*I'm not that bothered that anti-conspiracy channels may be hit as they will have less to play with.
