I understand where you are coming from, but since I have Jewish friends who are not rich and powerful, they have nothing to do with the machinations of powerful and rich Jewish people. Linking all Jewish people to a massive conspiracy is ridiculous. Is there a conspiracy, yes. Just because you're Jewish, you belong to the conspiracy, No. Generalizations about people are how people get caught up in trouble tragedies. The Holocaust had excellent records, thanks to the excellent record-keeping of the Nazi's. Grams are terribly efficient, just like the Japanese. No one ever disputes the Bataan Death March, but the Holocaust? All kinds of denial and theories of fabrications, except many Nazi's admitted the atrocities committed. Hans Frank had 30 some odd personal journals submitted as evidence during his trial at Nuremberg. He switched his defense from not knowing that Auschwitz was a death camp to pleading that he was not responsible for the orders to execute the prisoners. Auschwitz was only like 30 miles or so from his headquarters in Warsaw and his own diaries admitted his knowledge of what was happening there. The evidence for the slave camps and the death camps is pretty overwhelming. Illegalizing people's right to choose to believe is something that should not be done. I agree the laws in Europe are draconian and violate human rights. I'm not defending the laws, I'm defending against the arbitrary anti-semitism commonly associated with Holocaust deniers. A bit of research reveals a mountain of evidence. It takes quite a bit of effort to manipulate the evidence into discrediting the Holocaust.
