Why do people refuse to acknowledge the Holocaust?
Upvote:14
One of my uncles was an intelligence officer assigned to evaluate and document the camps. He also took pictures for his private albums. He retired after 30 years as a colonel, and would offer to show his WW II souvenirs to visitors. I once (~1990) made the mistake of looking through his photo albums, and had nightmares for months. The pictures of the living were very disturbing, but so were the pits filled with the dead. As they say, seeing is believing.
A few years later I visited Dachau; it gave me the creeps. It's really hard to believe that people could do the things that were done.
Dachau concentration camp; if too graphic, feel free to remove.
