The Holocaust:
Denial & History

Holocaust Denial on YouTube, May 8, 2008 - Deborah Lipstadthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10459645888846468575noreply@blogger.com
There is an insidious Holocaust denial movie on YouTube. It relies primarily on footage from Terezin [Theresienstadt] and some seems to come from the propaganda film the Nazis made about that "camp" called The Fuhrer Gives the Jews a City.By the way, there was a swimming pool at Auschwitz 1 -- not Birkenau where most of the Jews were -- it was rarely used by inmates and its main purpose was to store water for fire fighting.
