Some Jews have made a business out of the Holocaust. The same Holocaust that has come to be synonymous with Jewish suffering only. The Holocaust is a tool to guilt-trip and extort money out of the West to support and ignore the crimes that Isra-El does. It also is a great marketing tool for charitable organizations who collect money from American taxpayers, provide a tax deduction, which comes out of America's General Fund and is diverted to Isra-el to buy armaments and build settlements. You are correct, we Americans do hang to commemorate veterans dead and alive, but not for financial purposes hidden behind patriotism. I am definitely not into revisionism. But that term is predicated on whether the story as written and often repeated is accurate to start. One could assume that it would take a very long time to get rid of 12 million bodies and those small ovens you see on the History Channel certainly would not be adequate to accomplish the task. So the question remains, where are the mass graves? Conversely, I am not a Holocaust embellisher either. By this I mean, I do not believe that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. I believe that figure is an embellishment. None the less, it happened and even if only one million Jews and one million gypsies, homosexuals, physically and mentally impaired were killed, that does not make it less of a tragedy. But not the largest or worst genocide and ALL genocides should not be made less significant by a marketing effort out of Manhattan.
