Update: Picked up an 1968 Encyclopedia Britanica

Got it for a good price. It's a lot of books. It's the perfect year. No mention of the holocaust. I'll take requests to snap a pictures of a few entries.

I'll take requests to snap a pictures of a few entries.

Concentration Camps. It’s in volume 6 for me. It’s also just two sentences.
 Jews. Volume 13. Specifically, the end of the section to see what it says about the end of the war and immediate aftermath. Mine, published in 1947, ends by mentioning 1943.
Israel. Volume 12. Mine has about four sentences on the topic.
 Holocaust. Volume 11. Again two sentences.
World War II. Volume 23. See if it mentions “murders” of jews anywhere.
 Refugees and the Exchange of Populations. Volume 19. Let’s see what it says about postwar displacement.

I’m happy to have mine; glad you’re preserving history, too.

EDIT: Seems the site doesn’t like when you make a list (single asterisk at line start, then space) where every item begins with bold (double asterisk around a word or phrase). My formatting is broken.

Didn't take you for the sentimental type.

Well, for me it was pragmatic. I bought a complete 1947 in the latter days of my quest to find the truth about what everyone on /pol/ was saying. I had seen the truth of everything else except the holocaust by then. It wasn’t enough for me to see “pictures” of “old books” on the Internet because anyone could do anything with Photoshop in those days (and even more effortlessly–and seamlessly–with LLMs today). So I had to hold it in my hands.

I bought The World Almanac & Book of Facts from 1936, 1937, 1946, and 1947. I was able to prove to myself that yes, the reported global population numbers of jews didn’t change. I then bought a postwar Encyclopaedia Britannica. I opened Volume 11, found the entry, and was permanently convinced. Now I keep these books to be able to show others in person.

Fair enough, skil. I always liked you. For all your nihilistic tendencies, there's always a cold comfort in your comments. I like that, I relate to it. Yeah, probably nothing will ever happen. It'll just keep getting worse until we experience man made horrors beyond our comprehension, but there's a morbid comfort in that.

In order to lower the chances of Photoshop type fakery you can post videos of turning the pages.

I bet you even get a reference to the firmament.

first look up "aphantasia"

Lol. I mentioned the objective fact that the firmament is documented in encyclopedias and you call it "aphantasia." That just shows what a dumb kike you are.

If you looked it up, you'd realize I was talking about your mental condition.

Curious about this as well

Estonian encyclopedia published in 1982 doesn't mention holocaust either. The modern 2011 one does and the article is 8 paragraphs long.

As I mentioned in the other thread: the entry for "agnosticism" because the modern version has a heavy pro-Talmudic bias.

I bought a 1965 history textbook.... That word isn't in it.

[ - ] xmasskull 1 point 2 monthsMar 10, 2024 00:45:07 ago (+1/-0)

I say yes,to posting pics of your encyclopedia.

It's not "an" it's "a".

Use "an" only if the next word starts with a vowel sound.
