I’m sure this subject has been covered in this thread but I saw somewhere yesterday that one in twenty people in the UK are holocaust deniers. What the actual fuck? How can so many people be so dumb?
I’m married into a Jewish family and recently my mother-in-law has joined my heritage and started creating a family tree. Seeing whole families having the same place and date of death really hit home how brutal it must have been. My wife’s grandmother was lucky because her mother was able to get asylum to the UK for her immediate family. The larger family was decimated as they were Dutch and the Netherlands had the lowest survival rate in Europe for the Jewish.
I honestly think if I was in a pub chatting to someone and they tried to suggest that the holocaust didn’t happen I would head butt the **** there and then.
