  1. I have always wondered why Holocaust deniers cannot seem to believe the evidence. The only conclusions I can come to is that they blind themselves to the evidence, either because it is unpalatable or it contradicts their world view. I have encountered both versions of this denial, either from an anti-Semitic point of view, or incredulity that anything so horrific could be perpetrated by people. Sadly, the evidence is really overwhelming that this did occur. Indeed, my mother saw the results of the Holocaust first-hand when she visited Bergen-Belsen in June 1945. She even wrote a letter to our local newspaper in response to an article in that paper. She ended her letter to the editor with, "Yes, I shall not forget Belsen's indescribable stench of death, and the look of terror still remaining in the eyes of the sick survivors. I despair when I read of the people who attempt to deny the existence of the extermination camps. Will they continue to reject similar unpleasant truths because they are too unpalatable?" I would also suggest Time Ghost's War Against Humanity series, as they have researched and supply the actual numbers of individuals "liquidated" during the Einsatzgruppen operations in 1941 and 1942 from the SS records. It gives an idea of the scope of the Holocaust (and other similar acts by the Japanese and Russians). So far in the fall of 1942 they indicate that around two million people have already been killed, and this is before the death camps have really started operating. If you have not been watching this series, I highly recommend it.
