Really, Germany?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

If the Nazis were so intent on eliminating the Jews why were there so many survivors?  Why did they bother building concentration camps and stocking them?  Heck, the US kept people in concentration camps three years after the war ended.

Really? Please tell me you are not a Holocaust denier?

I really hate black and white thinking. Using slavery of your captured has happened since humans started organized war in antiquity. The slave labor was free so it freed up money for other resources. If the Germans had had the resources at a bigger scale and had not had a inept dictator, they would have killed as many as they could. Fortunately for Europe and Jews and the west, we had more power and he ended up committing suicide in a bunker.

No, while our camps were a result of our own bigotry and fear of the Japanese, which certainly was also bad, they were not death camps nor forced labor camps to produce weapons . They were internment camps. No excuse for those either, but not the same as what Hitler did to Jews.

Didn't you know that we also put Jews in our concentration camps as prisoners?
