Dammit!  I know! I know! I know!!!!!!!!

I knew this would get people off there rockers....Please believe me when I say
that I wanted only to know what the general feeling at such an idea was.

First, Drew, I still believe, and have seen plenty of photographic evidence for
the horrors of that particular war.  Second, I am appalled at those who come
out an say that none of the concentration camps did what they did when I have
seen living persons (at college talks) with their tattooed numbers still on
their arms.  I have read Dr. Victor Frankels account of the concentration
camps.  I do not consider that the holocaust was a hoax, only that government,
may have used the holocaust, or expanded and added things, or perhaps
subtracted things from the truth about it.  Mr. Smith might have found some
things that don't ring true in various governmental reports, or evidence
collection....this might in fact show the truth to be even worse!

I also wanted to know why the world decries the holocaust so much, and forgets
about 60 million dead Russian peasants???

I just want to know what the hell is REALLY going on!!!(as Robert Anton
Wilson's character Hagbard Celine might have asked...)
