My mentor is in his 60's, he has relatives who made it to America (his direct line obviously), and relatives who chose to stay in Germany. All who stayed in Germany died. All who left Germany for the US, survived. So I don't think the Holocaust is fake when you can find real people in your own life, who have nothing to gain or lose talking about the Holocaust. Would I ask Ben Shapiro? No, he has a platform, therefore, an angle. A mentor who no one would care what his opinion is besides myself, 2 others, and the 3 of our family's? Yes. My own ancestors left the Netherlands around the same time and went to Michigan, where my great aunt still resides. They came for fear of Germany becoming more willing to fight again. I get it, people lied to us about many things in life, history, and religion. That does not mean everything that was black is white, and vice versa. History is grey, people and politics today are grey, religion you could even say is grey. Here's what I mean: There is only 1 truth for everything our there. No individual is privy to all truth. We live in our own little circles of what we really KNOW to be truth. So when you read a history book, in which you did not witness, and even if you did witness, you would not have the broadest view. You must assume it is not 100% accurate. Again, you are taking many people's view points, and correlating them into what a historian presents as reality. I mean to say I do not think 6 million Jews died. I think that A LOT of Jews died, and the number was probably vastly miscalculated. Maybe it was 600,000. Maybe it was 60,000. The point is, you can't question that Jews were targeted by Hitler. We can discuss why the Jews, but not that there were no Jews targeted, I won't sit and discuss with someone who believes that. I was at Jan. 6th, but I wasn't at the front of the break in, nor was I at the door that magnetically opened from whoever did it. That is why the countless hours of video being released is the foundation for discovering what exactly happened that day. Religious beliefs are often founded upon what this guy said who heard it from so and so, etc. it goes on. I believe the Bible is the Word of God, 100%. I doubt personally that God would allow the bulk of humanity to go without needed sections of the Word (He would have intervened to make His word known). Look at the catholic religion, many catholics don't know their Bibles. The same is true of mega churches, and even various other reformed churches. The key is to go to source information. Whether it's letters from the war, personal accounts, reading the Bible, allowing all Jan. 6 video to be released and viewable, the list goes on. As an aside about 66 Books of the Bible, which I'm sure comes up in people's mind, let me pre-emptively say, I think that the Bible is only lacking (6 being the number of incompletion in Jewish importance of numbers) in the sense that we are missing what God will only give us in heaven.
Well put. I don't know if it was 6 million, but I do know for certain, like you, it was a genocide. Those who dispute that fact willfully ignore the evidence.
