What died at Auschwitz ?

*THIS IS BRILLIANT AND VERY TRUE.....

EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer

Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez and published in a Spanish newspaper on

Jan. 15 2008. It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the

message to the rest of Europe - and possibly to the rest of the world.

EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez

I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a

terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz ... We killed six million

Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.. In Auschwitz we

burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the

chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and

wonderful people who changed the world.



The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life:

science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience

of the world. These are the people we burned.



And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove

to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened

our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and

ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and

poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families

with pride.



They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish

cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.

Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government,

they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical

hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for

backwardness and superstition.



We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and

their talent for a better future for their children, their

determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who

pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for

themselves and others, for our children and theirs.



What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe .

A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they

imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to

themselves.



Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its

school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which

claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is

a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how

easily each country is giving in to it.



It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.

This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6

million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900

Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten,

experimented on and humiliated.' Now, more than ever, with Iran ,

among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is

imperative to make sure the world never forgets.



This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in

the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade

Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United

States ?

In the interest of historical correctness see the pic below ..

Until 1989 the number on the memorial plaque at Auschwitz read 4 million ..

It was changed to read ''about one and a half million'' .. ''mainly Jews'' .

That's 2.5 million fewer .

Perhaps the 'chosen ones ' should revise the 6 million figure down a bit ..

I don't think anyone will EVER know.......

I only know that the town my grandparents came from south of some city in Eastern Europe....is shown on antique maps.....

but no such town exists today....not even a regional name/reference.....

so between lenin, stalin, hitler, they seemed to do a pretty gross job .....

I remember my uncle, who followed Patton, managed to get in touch with some 'relative' of the region affected.....and they exchanged cryptic notes for some time....but mail was SO restricted it amounted to maybe 6 notes...this in the 50-60's......

Sorry chief , i thought you used the 'rolleyes' because you thought the memorial error was shameful or somehow dishonest ..

If the pic i posted is not good enough for you perhaps you would like to post evidence that 6 million Jews died at Auschwitz ---- as the OP article insinuates ..

While the writer asked, "What died at Auschwitz?", his reference to the 6 million was to the holocaust as a whole. Sloppy, perhaps, but he used Auschwitz as a metaphor for the entire "final solution" pursued throughout Europe.

If, on the other hand, you're attempting to minimize the holocaust, or deny it, then you'll have an issue with me.



Harry, dead eff'n serious

[CuzzinJack]

I would be happy to think that fewer than 6m Jews were killed .. Some people apparently don't , or can't , feel the same way ..

As a general rule , i don't converse with people who wallow in negative emotions --- it's not good for the soul ---- so i'm out of here ...

Cuzz.. sending healthy positive 'vibes' to you all ..

[mrvette]

Methinks CJack needs to heed the total meaning of the OP article....

it's not about numbers, but philosophy of life and decent culture.....



PLEASE, ALL, RE read the article....some common sense is necessary....

I would be happy if the world was not a place in which political systems callously killed 9 million in Europe from 1939-1945, 20 million in the SovUnion during the Stalin era, 2 million in Cambodia during the Pol Pot regime of the '70s, 800,000 in Rwanda in 1994, and nearly 600,000 to date with 750,000 more at risk of starvation in Somalia. Alas, it is such a place...and if wishes were fishes, the earth would not have hunger.

I'm not clear where you're coming from...but denying genocide or minimizing it anywhere is grotesque. I hope you sort that out.

Harry, still dead eff'n serious

holy Crap, I understand a Mrvette post

Very well put

Harry, you left out the estimated 18 million to 33 million Chinese who died in Chairman Mao's "Great Leap Forward"

World Communism is the all-time champion in the "Mass Senseless Slaughter" category.

The writer of that should dig deeper...because this statement, "UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum" is false. It was and has never been brought up or debated. A simple google will confirm that.

That being said... I lived in Germany for 7 years and saw first hand how Frankfurt and outlying areas went from nice places to shitholes in the matter of years because of relaxed immigration.
