Does Anyone Remember The Holocaust?

[BK_Adores_Chase]

Please:  You're on this forum probably to make the $3 a month - can you please just follow along with me and my questions?  The more answers I get the better and I think you'll be really surprised with where these series of questions lead.  What have you got to lose?  If you want to skip everyone else's replies and just get to my questions, I'll be putting them in bold and large font.

Did you know Adolf Hitler sanctioned the murder of 11 million people during the Holocaust?  He put Jews in concentration camps and brainwashed the whole German civilization.  Today statues of Hitler are forbidden in Germany and his *bleep* salute is illegal.  In Austria, if you deny that the Holocaust took place you’ll be thrown into jail.  Germany has mandatory education for children about the Holocaust because it’s been widely said that those who forget history are destined to repeat it.

Question #1 of 11:  Would you say Hitler was good or bad?

[bowrunner]

I can't even imagine why that question is being asked.  Hitler was pure evil as is ISIS.

  I was at the dentist about a month ago.  An elderly couple was getting work done.  The dentist asked the son (Who was in his 60's) how he could afford to pay for it.  He had written a check out in full to the Dentist.  He told him they were both concentration camp survivors (They were teenagers then).  They were the only ones in each of their families to survive.  They came to America, met and married here.   As part of the punishement (? I am not sure what you call it) that Germany signed to end the war, they had to pay for all Medical, Dental, Eye doctor bills for camp survivors FOREVER.  I don't know if they had other things they had to pay for them, but I thought it was interesting.  This couple both in their 90's have to be some of the last survivors.  They were 16 when the war ended.

Would you say Hitler was good or bad?

Of course Hitler was bad.  He used millions of people as guinea pigs for sick experiments.  He brainwashed all of Germany.  He wanted a "pure" race, a "perfect" race, free of diseases and having blonde hair and blue eyes - yet, it's a little known fact, that Hitler himself may have had Parkinson's disease.  He was a sick individual that almost got away with all he did to human beings.

It makes me wonder what's taking the WORLD so long to see that islam is doing the SAME THING, and why they're not doing more to put a stop to this sick cult.

I was born in 1942 and was about three when the war was over.  My father fought in the war.  He was not in Germany but in the Japanese part of the war.  I have read that some small groups in Germany and groups in other parts of the world have come out in recent years denying that the Holocaust even happened.  I can't understand why when there is so much evidence that it did.  In fact, Germany filmed much of that evidence.  There are films of some of the most hideous actions of German soldiers - people being herded into gas chambers and being shoved into long trenches and shot.  Then dirt was pushed over them with some of them still living.  Hitler was responsible for all this because he and his minions brainwashed the German people that this was what needed to be done for their country.  So I ask YOU, was Hitler good or bad?  He was not just bad - he was evil.

What exactly is the point of this thread? Do you really need to ask that question?

[ahmedrocks234]

 He's bad but comunists aren't as bad. Maybe having elections is a bad thing if people keep electing horrible leaders.

Is this what you're studying in school? It was a little before my time but they still teach history in school although I think some systems wish to wipe it out of the books. Make no mistake, it DID HAPPEN and the same sort of thing could certainly happen again if people allow it. Why in the world would you ask if Hitler was good or bad? Your question is just unbelievable.

I have to agree with everyone, Hitler was not bad, he was evil!  Bad is robbing a bank, evil is killing thousands of people.

[BK_Adores_Chase]

Stick with me, there is a point to all of this and I'll get to it eventually.

Question #2:  It’s 1939 – you've got a high powered riffle and Hitler is in your sight – would you take him out?

[BK_Adores_Chase]

Can I get one person to bear with me on this?  They're really is a point, I promise.

[loulizlee]

 OK, I'll bite.  If I had a high-powered RIFLE and Hitler were in my sights, and knowing everything I know about him, yes, I would take him out.

[BK_Adores_Chase]

Thank you, sir or ma'am - next question:

Question #3:  It’s about 30 years earlier, Mrs. Hitler is pregnant with Adolf – would you take her out?  Would you kill her to kill him?

[Nancy5]

Ok, i will bite....of course not.  If she is pregnant with him, he is not born yet, so he has done nothing wrong, nor would anyone know what a evil man he would become.

[jford87]

If I were to go back in time knowing what I know now, I honestly don't know if I would kill her to kill him. On the one hand, it could potentially save millions of lives. On the other hand, there is absolutely no way of knowing what the consequences would be for changing the course of that many lives.
