As someone who has both had family in Aushwit bearkenu,(sp), and heard them tell their account of
what happened and visited the place themselves, I feel that anyone denying that it happened should
go see it, see the finger nail marks on the walls of the gas chambers.
You can feel the evil in the place, no one smiles, no one laughs, because you can feel the anger and
hate.
I am never one to go all gooey, and talk about my feelings, but that place was evil, and should
never be denied, because then, if it is denied, it can be repeated |

It makes perfect sense for countries that were involved in the Holocaust, or that were aligned with
Hitler's Germany during the War, to make Holocaust denial illegal. Throughout the postwar period,
West Germany has had to keep skinheads and crypto-Nazis at bay, especially because so many former
Nazis had made their way back into the public service in the early 1950s. As such, de-Nazification
hardly happened in the West, and there was a risk that anti-Semitic, far-right groups may one day
turn into a powerful political force.
Both Germany and Austria have fairly stringent laws when it comes to Holocaust denial. In fact, we
probably all remember how David Irving, Britain's shameful pseudo-historian and Holocaust denier,
was put on trial and then sentenced to prison in Austria for about a year. It is especially
important that Austria maintain these laws against Holocaust denial, as this country has had a
reputation of denying, or sugar-coating its own World War II history. |

Its really, its dam really and if you deny it and go to prison, well it serves you right. |

Sure. They deserve it. |
