I recieved this today and I can't believe Great Briton would do this??

General Eisenhower Warned Us






It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:



'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'

This week, the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into 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, beat, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way!

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 U.S.??????

Do not just delete this message; it will take only a minute to pass this along.

Dear Benji,

You wrote:

I was going to reply "Please send me the evidence".

But Timmy already has. There is no evidence. It's a false story.

Where did you get it from? Perhaps they aren't as trustworthy as you thought.

Love,
Anthony

Don't blame Benji. Had it been true it would have been frightening. It was couched in terms "likely yo have been real", but it just needed more investigation.

Fortunately he had the good sense to post it here rather than email it to a couple of hundred folk.

These things "look real".

I visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, a couple of years ago. The evidence presented there is very compelling; much more detailed than could be presented in a class room. Whether it represented what happened to 6, or 600,000 or 6,000,000 people doesn't really matter. That human beings are capable of doing such things to other humans is what matters, what must not be forgotten.

The unfortunate reality is that that was in the 20th century. Is there any century in mankind's history when such atrocities did not take place? The 21st century has already been soiled by some people's greed for power and their willingness to treat others as if they don't matter.

Our long history of such atrocities, continuing today, represents what I believe will be mankind's eventual downfall. Imagine the day when terrorists actually have nuclear weapons to use, or some other WMD. You think they won't use them?

The holcaust is a historical fact. I have personally met people who are survivors of the camps. I have studied the history of event (I can think of no other word without getting emotional) and there is no doubt in my mind that heinous attrocities were perpretrated on not only Jews but also gays, Gypsies, the mentally handicaped, blacks... Any group that lent a shadow to "the arian surpremecy" preached by the German Leadership of that sad time.

The pathetic people that have spearheaded a "there was no holocaust" campaign are not to be listened to.

To deny events in our history as clinically documented as the holocaust is beyond rediculous.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I'm Jewish myself Acam & Marc I know all too well the Holocuast was rea.l

This item has regularly done the rounds on the internet over the last few months. I have seen it at least twice before.

It is all part of a subversive campaign held on the internet which people have felt themselves forced into using because free speech has long been dead in GB. If the press is to be believed (lol), people are too scared to speak out on the topics of race, religion and other social matters lest they get a knock on the door at dawn by Mr Plod who, having got rid of all other crimes in the country, particularly murders, violence on the street, vandalism and anti-social behaviour, has little else to do with his time.

Am I cynical or am I cynical?

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Dont over react.

The Holacaust will never be forgotten,


Btitain is a multi racial country, and is a crazy politicaly correct country, in the grip of a goverment in blind panic.

I would like to point out that ethnic cleansing is still an on going thing in variouse countries, in termoil.

I feel for all people that are in fear because of there cultural background.

I like all people from all over the world its not important to me that they different belieths as long as they behave. sorry about the spelling just shows im human.
