http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101221/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_israel_holocaust#comments They go from claiming it never happened, to being proud that it happened, and can't wait for it to happen again.

I have no doubt dousens of those kind of comments try to pass into Ynet everyday. Good job Ynet.

That is contrary from what I was told many years ago. I was told, that Hitler had a plan to make a museum city of the Jews, for the very purpose, to brag, that their once existed Jewish people. Look where we are today.

I spoke with a Russian Jew who migrated to the US about 25 years ago, with his family. He cringed when I told him 500,000 Hungarian Jews died in 6wks,,and 30,000 in 3 days at Babi Yar. (He was born in the Ukraine after the war). He seemed embarassed almost apologetic. A friend lived in Greece during the war. He related how Jews ran from building to buiding to escape the NAZIs. Hitler wanted an SS division formed in Greece, to link up to Rommel, to end the Jews of Palestine. Wipe from memory..how rude. They are wiped out guys. Not even given a burial.,up i8nh smoke. German won that war, killing 6m, while losing 6m in their total war effort. Why want Germany wiped off the planet I ask? Why were not 10m Nazis tried for war crimes? Why did the US take in German scientists..and employ them near where I live (San Fernando Valley). These scientists worked thousands to death in Nordhausen. Why are Israeli leftists so cowering to their fo=called friends,the Palestinians, who fought them in every war. To Israel: wake up.

My grandparents are survivors, my great-grandparents were killed at Auschwitz. I spent a year in Israel and visited Yad Vashem many times. I feel like I am extremely knowledgeable about the Shoah and sometimes its vastness makes the evil seem, as Hannah Arendt famously said, banal. But looking at the picture of that little boy, that little boy who resembles my son and so many others, has turned me into a huge weeping mess. It makes me so sad and angry that they would murder so many, but the murder of the 1.5 million innocent children like this sweet little boy is just beyond words.

Jen, the nazis didnt distinguish between man, woman & child. If they were Jews they were murdered. The lucky ones ( Jews ) escaped. We have to teach our children, the future generation about the Holocaust & as Jews we must never forget what utter horror our ancestors went through at the hands of the barbaric nazis. School kids here in Israel are taught at school about the Holocaust & this will continue. (I never knew my grandparents,on both sides, they were murdered in Auschwitz)

Birdi -- oh, I definitely know all of what you said intellectually, it just really hit me hard seeing the picture of the little boy. I think part of it is because I have a young son who strongly resembles him, and part of it is that when you think of the numbers, you don't necessarily think of individuals. It's kind of like the first time I saw color film of Shoah victims and survivors. It made it more real. School kids are taught here too, thank G-d. In St. Louis, we have a wonderful Holocaust museum that most public school children see. It's small, but it is very well done. It focuses a great deal on local survivors, and I think that helps make it real for the students. I'm so sorry that you never knew your grandparents. I am lucky because my nana survived. I am even luckier because she is still alive and is starting to open up more and more. The best revenge is new generations of Jewish children.

you know what the best revenge we have is? i will tell you. last year, in auschwitz, nehushtan, the iaf head flew three israeli f-16 in a v formation over the railways of auschwitz. like we said loud and clear...you didn't destroy us jews. we won. we are now flying our airforce jets on top of you, nazis. no jen, the nazis didn't win because we have israel, our country that is a refuge to any jew. our military which is one of the most powerful in the world. our survivors that have had the chance to come to israel, to build a nation coming from the ashes of the camps and realize their dream. no, the nazis didn't win bec ause we have increased in numbers, prospered, build a dream of a country, a midern sucessful nation called israel. the nazis would not have dreamed this could happen in a million years. but, here we are. we lived, we got rich, we contributed to the world more than any other nationality and we built a phenomenal miracle called israel. no, the nazis didn't win, jen and for that you, i and all of us jews are thnakful.

Good post. As long as there is an Israel, as long as Israel exists, there will never be anothet Holocaust.

Jen, cherish your Nana & listen to every word she utters about her past.

In 1995 "stolpersteine" were installed on a trial basis in Cologne, Germany. Since then these stones have been placed all over Europe. Stolpersteine is the German word for "stumbling block" "obstacle" or "something in the way." Stolpersteine is a small, cobble-stone-sized memorial for a single victim of nazism. Ynet will not publish my post with the link, so please refer to Wikipedia by typing in "Stolpersteine" in the search box.
