I have read numerous books by holocaust survivors, watched many, many documentaries on the holocaust and have personally visited the Dachau death camp. There is no way a person can understand how brutal and savage it was unless they lived it. I know I can only imagine what it was like.

In one book I read it told of how the Sonderkommando, death camp prisoners in work groups that were forced with threats of their own death to dispose of gas chamber victims, would take live babies that survived the gas and swing them by the feet smashing their heads against a post killing them. It was either this or throw a live baby into the ovens. I can go on with other stories like this but I hope you get the point.

If I were a death camp surviving Jew, a Gypsy, a homosexual, or a political prisoner it would seriously anger me to see the name Nazi used just for political character assassination against a person who is nothing like a Nazi.

I understand your point of view, but not all nazis killed people. It was an ideology that led a nation to believe in white christian supremacy. That ideology sure is present in many a racist American.

I don't think anyone survived Zyklon B to have that happen. There was one incident of a teen girl who must have been pressed against the floor and was still alive. The SK went to the SS to ask if she could be spared. The response was they would spare her being gassed again, but would receive a shot in the back of the head. Normally they would pack the chamber and throw those too small to stand on top of the standees...,its all in the book by some guy named Schlomo...

I have been calling a racist numerous times because I support the President. Unfortunately the left can not articulate an argument and since history is no longer taught in school, they do not know what they are saying.

I have been called sexist because I didn't support Hilary Clinton and racist because I didn't support Obama. It's not about race or sex, it's about political ideology. I would vote for Condoleezza Rice in a heartbeat if she was running for president.

You can't deny the truth. Leadership has responsibilities. One is honesty. Another is freedom of speech. Restrain or manipulate either and one begins to mimic Nazi leadership philosophy.

They were all responsible for the holocaust, they supported the government that did the killing. Germans who lived in the city of Dachau claimed they knew nothing about what happened in the camp. BS, trains brought thousands of people into the camp but nobody questioned where they went because no trains took people away. The chimneys spewed black smoke with a burnt flesh odor daily. The camp was ringed with electrified barbed wire fences at least 12' high.

I do understand why many who disagreed with the regime didn't say anything. If they did they got an all expense paid vacation to the local concentration camp.

Nazism had no religion, they espoused an Aryan superiority over lesser races but they weren't Christian. The only thing religious about the holocaust was the Nazis hatred of Judaism and the people who practiced it. The Nazi leadership was either agnostic or atheist. In many countries you see elected leaders doing photo ops at a church but I've never read or seen anything similar by a Nazi leader. Hitler was definitely an atheist.
