I always make this point when teaching my students about the Holocaust.

Holocaust never happened. Jade Helm 15 is totally real. No, I'm not insane-the voices in my head told me so.

They could have bombed the railway lines, cutting off access to the camps, but that was not considered a worthwhile use of resources by Bomber Command.

Mainly because the Germans were so freaking quick at rail repair. They usually had the trains running again before the bombers returned to base.

the SS would just move their operation down the street and resume the time consuming method of machine gunning the Joos.

I would rather this guy go free than get such an absurdly tiny sentence for helping to kill 300,000 Jews. What does it come to, 20 seconds for each murdered Jew? How much are our lives worth?

I am a Jew. Hath

not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs,

dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with

the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject

to the same diseases, healed by the same means,

warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as

a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?

if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison

us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not

revenge?

(I just came up with that)

Alas, Nazism did not die with Hitler. It's alive and well and displays the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia instead of the Hackenkreuz, which by law cannot be displayed in most of Europe.

OT, but if you tickle a Jew and they laugh, don't they feel guilty about it later?

Well, there's that.

No, it means I have to blow them for campaign funding.

No Eric, it would not. It might destroy one method of genocide, but not all of them. Hell, Milosevic just marched people into soccer stadiums and had soldiers in the stands kill them with machine guns. Where there is a will, there is a way. You have to remove the willing, not the way.

I believe you are right. But there will always be people willing to commit genocide. Should we also not remove their tools as we find them? Because there are so many tools we should destroy none of them?The reality is if there had been a concerted bombing campaign against all the camps, it would have ground their genocide machine to nearly a halt. In 1944 they had not the resources nor the manpower to restructure the genocide to the levels the camps were producing. Yes they would have machine gunned stadiums full of Jews, but not nearly with the efficiency that the camps could do. That being said I don't know if bombing was the right answer. So I'll go with what the general said in a comment I made further up.
