Don’t forget the Holocaust
uisputing tne Holocaust
(DN, Nov. 17) was an article about
one thing and one thing alone. It was
the same subject as in the rest of those
articles: racism.
But how can you explain your
racism? To you, and a lot of other
people with short memories, not only
did 6 million Jews die in the Holo
caust, but 6 million others - political
prisoners, Catholics, the handi
capped — were exterminated also.
That’s 12 million people. This makes
the Holocaust a greater tragedy and
belittles Mr. Weber even more.
As for the pictures, those matter
little to someone like Weber. He
W f 1
wants written proof to this. I say
“Look at the Nuremberg Trials, or
Mein Kampf, you will see that Hitler
had an extermination policy.”
All of these arguments and you ask
if our distinguished Mr. Weber has
been to Israel. Well, what would a
former member of a white suprema
cist group want to do? Be surrounded
by 3.5 million Jews and 2 million
Palestinians?
As for me, the Holocaust is some
thing to never forget. Once people do,
it could happen again.

Holocaust reality, not mytn
Regarding Rory Larson’s letter
(DN, Nov. 27): How dare you be so
bloody condescending. Leuchter
takes samples from five buildings in
two concentration camps, and you’re
ready to say, ‘ ‘Well, that settles it. No
gas chambers. No Holocaust.” Mr.
Larson, do you believe that the Holo
caust existed? Do you believe that the
Nazis were attempting to exterminate
the Jewish people? By your tone, it
appears that you don’t. You disgust
me.
Throughout your letter you
smugly make use of the word ‘‘al
leged.’’ You talk of “alleged homi
cidal gas chambers” and “alleged
extermination sites,” yet the only
building with excessive amounts of
cyanide was the “delousing cham
ber ” Whv Hirin'! vnn nnl “allpoori”
in front of that? The point of Leuch
tcr’s study was to prove that these
buildings are not necessarily what
people claim them to be, so why not
“alleged delousing chamber?”
There arc too many people in this
world who would like everyone to
believe that the Holocaust was a
myth. If you arc one of these people,
then I am glad to never have met you.
If you aren’t like that, then you arc
even worse, because your letter did
nothing but help support that view.
I hope you read Amanda Lainof’s
letter (DN, Nov. 27) that appeared
before yours, and I hope it made you
think. Have you ever spoken with a
concentration camp victim. Mr. Lar
son? I have. When I was 12, I was
lucky enough lo have a teacher who
cared very much about educating
students about the Holocaust. He
wished to make a lasting impression
on his students, so he invited a survi
vor ol the Holocaust to speak with our
class. She definitely made an impres- *
sion.
The point, Mr. Larson, is that at a
very early age, I learned a very im
portant lesson. Never again. Rather
than quibbling over the validity of
empirical evidence, maybe you could
educate yourself on this subject, and
maybe you could learn that same
lesson. Never again, Mr. Larson.
Never again.
