When someone asks you if you are a holocaust denier say no it was a pretty piss poor fictional TV mini series starring Meryl Streep that aired in the late 1970s

From Wikipedia

https://archive.md/DUrm9

"Holocaust (full title: Holocaust: The Story of the Family Weiss) (1978) is an American television miniseries which aired on NBC over four nights, from April 16 — April 19, 1978."

"It dramatizes the Holocaust from the perspective of the Weiss family, fictional Berlin Jews Dr. Josef Weiss (Fritz Weaver), his wife Berta (Rosemary Harris), and their three children—Karl (James Woods), an artist married to Inga (Meryl Streep), a Christian woman; Rudi (Joseph Bottoms); and teenage Anna (Blanche Baker). It also follows Erik Dorf (Michael Moriarty), a fictional "Aryan" lawyer who becomes a Nazi out of economic necessity, rising within the SS and gradually becoming a war criminal."


I am actually surprised that Wikipedia admits these characters were fictional. There was a time when they tried to say this was a true story. Like roots which was also a complete fictional and largely plagiarized story This TV mini series which launched the whole Holocaust notion and now industry as well as political bludgeon was completely fictional.

It was literally a made-up fable for tv.

makes me wonder how much of the nuremburg trials people actually watched, or just shown selective cuts, because i think they were whinging about gas then but it took 25 years after the fact for people to start giving a shit, weird.

Nuremberg was made up laws and events all for show.
The real Nuremberg were allied death squads going around pow, dragging out select Germans and shooting them in the woods.

Hey wait, Germans were the baddies but they treated prisoners well?

What gives?

Nah, I'm a climate denier. The holodomor was real.

[ - ] Treefart 2 points 9 monthsAug 18, 2023 09:47:39 ago (+2/-0)

You don't believe we have a climate?

[ - ] Spaceman84 4 points 9 monthsAug 18, 2023 12:23:46 ago (+4/-0)

Nope. I believe in weather not climate. Just look out the window. Same difference with sex vs gender. There are two sexes, gender is a social construct. Simple as.

Damnit, was just being obstinate... no point was intended; not interested in links either

Where's the evidence of a climate? links?

A 'climate denier' is a person who doesn't accept the ludicrous claims of the climate claimers.

I'm in agreement but I have a tendency to be a smartass sometimes

I haven't heard that it's antisemitic to talk about ground penetrating radar.

They covered the ground in Treblinka that was researched with GPR (showing that the ground had never been disturbed, ever) with huge boulders a few years ago, so no one could ever run another test. But many countries will arrest you for mentioning this fact.

It's argued that the mass rewriting of history officially started in the 1960s, roughly when the takeover that started in 1913 reached its critical phase.

Or just note how terrible the Japanese holocausts of Nagasaki and Hiroshima were, and how it goes beyond killing a portion of one generation, it caused genetic damage with lasting generational effects that can't even be fully comprehended or measured yet.

From this perspective, there was never a singular "the" holocaust, there were many holocausts. The concept of a singular holocaust comes from a Talmudic Judaic religious interpretation related to prophecies from the OT. From a secular perspective, outside of the confides of Talmudic Judaic doctrine, that context is not present. And the Greek term can and would apply to any number of events that fit the picture of people being fully consumed by fire.

The big thing to drive home is that yes, having friends, family, and kin die is tragic. But the genetic damage done by nuclear weapons and testing is worse than murder. So without even having to question a number like 6M of West Asians being killed, the holocausts of East Asia during WWII were without question the more devastating and significant tresspass against humanity. To ignore this is to undermine the seriousness of what happened.

If Chernobyl is a massive no-go zone, why are Hiroshima and Nagasaki huge modern cities?

[ - ] The_Reunto 1 point 9 monthsAug 18, 2023 16:29:58 ago (+1/-0)

They pushed the contaminated material into the sea, the same option wasn't available for Chernobyl. Also, Chernobyl was a stack designed to continously react where Little Boy and Fat Man were each designed only to have one event of criticality.

The reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not devastated by radiation after the actual explosion is because the explosions took place in the air so the only real radiation that hit the survivors of the blast was neutrons from the bomb blast itself. The ground dirt and dust was not contaminated with radioactivity before it was lifted and largely blown away and dispersed into very low levels of radiation.

Chernobyl's meltdown took place on the ground with highly active and especially destructive radioactive components that remained close to the ground and were spread over the ground in high density around the reactors.

The same thing happened with Fukushima and that it was close to the ground it was extremely terrible radioactive materials consisting largely of plutonium and other materials from recycled nuclear weapons. It's radiation was much worse and it was again kept close to the ground and blown around close to the ground and directly contaminates the water in the ground as well as the water they continually spray on the continuing melting down core to try to keep it cooler. It flows into the ocean in huge quantities and it fills things like seaweed and other things in the area with radioactivity and radioactive emitters.

With Fukushima you don't just have radioactivity which is like the X-ray that comes out of an x-ray machine. With Fukushima you have the actual particles of radioactive material which are the emitters of the radioactivity and those radioactive emitters end up in fish and seaweed and if you eat them those radioactive emitters will get absorbed into your stomach and into your body and into your bones and they will continue to act like a little x-ray machines continuing to emit harmful high energy radiation into your tissues.

The Jap cities were firebombed. The US had a massive firebombing campaign going on. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were test sites for a new fuel-air bomb. There was and is zero radioactivity. The Japs rebuilt immediately after the war.

No sorry flat earther. Nuclear weapons are real. If you don't believe they are real you should drive over to oak ridge Tennessee and look at the remains of the massive buildings that were used to separate u235 from u238 to build the bombs. They didn't need those buildings for fuel air bombs.

[ - ] Anus_Expander 0 points 9 monthsAug 21, 2023 13:26:59 ago (+0/-0)

Wow, a large building proves everything! I guess they build nukes at Home Depot too.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki ARE NOT RADIOACTIVE, they are large modern cities with millions of inhabitants. 'Muh half-life of 5000 years' lol

that holocaust thing is coming out of my ears. Please stop, you play into the hands of the jews

The real holocaust was the bombings in Dresden

Call them conspiracy theorist.

Or are they referring to the Pfizer vax holocaust?

Schindler's List is fake too

Does anyone have any old encyclopedias they can look at?

So in other words, lie.

Nazis can lie, but a bullet to the head never lies!

The holohoax is as fake as climate change you dumb nigger.

How people ignore the fact there was no mention of auwswitze or the holocaust in encyclopedias before the 70s blows my mind.

To a normal the holahoax was the worst thing any human has ever done to other humans it was pure evil.

Yet just 20 years after this event encyclopedias had no mention of it then from the 70s on it just got worse and worse and worse in encyclopedias

Wouldn't the books written directly after have insane amounts of details being fresh in people's minds?

Pay no attention to the 100 million dead from (((communism))) last century.
