Holocaust Denial

[Rev. Rye]

1. Not really, they were just the most prominent ones, due in no small part to Hitler going on about them nonstop for over a quarter of a century. There were no doubt people of other stripes who ended up in the gas chambers.

2. Because there was a finite limit to the amount of bodies the cremation furnaces could handle, and the whole Massenmord enterprise only lasted for a few years, and quite a few people managed to survive to the liberation.

3. Well, here's one article about what happened with the Soviets after libeating Auschwitz. I also remember an incident where Red Army soldiers tried to feed emaciated survivors some of their food, but they died because it was too rich. Yes, Soviet Army Food was too rich.

It's clear that the US recognised that something horrible had happened as soon as the news came out, especially given that they were instrumental in prosecuting the perpetrators.

It's like I said earlier, in the decade immediately after the liberation, it appears American society decided it was just a gruesome chapter they didn't want to deal with.
