I hope these highlight how horrifically evil the Nazi regime was.
Also this list just barely scratches the surface
1. Before the campaign was launched to effectively begin mass exterminating Jews, the Germans first crimes were actually against their people. They would tell German mothers and fathers with sick children, that they would take care of them and pay for all their medical cost. The families would send their kids away to a hospital. The doctors there would essentially just watch the children die, and then lie to their parents that the child did not make it. They would infest children with other diseases to see how fast a child would die.
2. They also would invite women they deemed unfit to reproduce and literally blast their lady parts with radiation while interviewing them. The women would find out something was wrong when a few days after they would suffer from radiation poisoning.
3. It is actually very hard to find legitimate proof of "gassing chambers" because modern movie culture has depicted them to be a way they were not actually used. However, we have extensive documentation between high ranking German officials about the plan to gas the Jews, the acquiring of the chemicals they used, their early attempts to gas them by using something called gassing cars. They also experimented by placing them in rooms and blowing them up. However, one German solider noted that this was far to messy.
4. Many victims of the Holocaust were shipped to frozen Russia in trains and left there to freeze to death. Russia did not look to highly of bucketloads of people left to die right inside their borders.
5. Nazi's facing almost certain defeat began systematically trying to destroy evidence of their deeds. So when people try to deny the Holocaust due to lack of primary documents that is mainly because they burned so many of them in a desperate attempt to cover their tracks.
6. During the invasion of Poland and Russia most people were executed on site, shooters would even toss up infant children and shoot them out of the sky for sport over death pits.
7. Despite initial claims from the people of Germany who claimed they had no idea their government was mass executing people, we later learned this to be false. Literally truckloads of people would be shipped to extermination camps and citizens would see them come in and see them never come out. Coupled with the burning smell of flesh that would accompany the camps around a certain radius as they burned many of their victims in crematories. These crematories were ran by captured people many time having to burn the dead bodies of their brethren.
Remember the actions that Hitler and the Nazi party committed was a highly organized attempt to systematically execute upwards of 6 million people. Trying to deny or cover up this part of History only allows other messed up individuals to perpetrate acts of great malice again.

I can provided you with sources for each point if you would like
The book Ordinary Men, covers the shooting squads with children and freezing people in Russia, and talks about mass killings that occurred all over Europe
You can buy the book for rather cheap and educate yourself, or I think I have it saved on a flash drive if you would like to read it.
katherinee_ The only one I cannot find a primary source for right now on the internet is the one with the vaginas being blasted with radiation and I got that from a lecture and can easily email the professor to provide sources for it.
Also everything I listed is just a scratch on the surface
katherinee_ Yeah if yo have any questions let me know. I can also try to find you some links to the actual primary documents because almost everything I listed was secondary sources that contain the primary source.
ari_ A good bit of Holocaust primary documents comes from the German correspondence themselves who def were not the victors. Then a lot of what we know about Holocaust came from Survivors stories from people who experiences it would not call them victors themselves
Educate these fuckers
