The Holocaust List found
This story was aired on CBS on "60 MINUTES" ** about a long-secret German archive that houses a treasure trove of information on 17.5 million victims of the Holocaust. The archive, located in the German town of Bad Arolsen , is massive (there are 16 miles of shelving containing 50 million pages of documents)and until recently, was off-limits to the public. But after the German government agreed earlier this year to open the archives, CBS News' Scott Pelley traveled there with three Jewish survivors who were able to see their own Holocaust records. It's an incredibly moving piece, all the more poignant in the wake of the meeting of Holocaust deniers in Iran and the denial speeches in the UN.
We're trying to get word out about the story to people who have a special interest in this subject. 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 six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking 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 40 million people worldwide! Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world. Please send this e-mail to 10 people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain. Please don't just delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this along -

When I was in Cambodia the horrible holocaust that happened there struck me somehow as even sadder. Pol Pot killed his own people~ fellow Cambodians.
He tortured and killed anyone with education, anyone who wore glasses was suspected to be educated and met the same fate.
He displaced people from the city to the country forcing them into laboring in the fields, of which they had no experience.
Yes, we must not forget the Holocaust yet it is a good to remember that these horrid things have happened in other places as well~ when you have a mentally deranged dictator with too much power.

For a guy who repeatedly said he'd vote for Hitler before he'd vote for Obama your sensitivity seems oddly out of place...and somewhat offensive in my opinion.
It's funny you say that... "...People often forget that the Nazi's killed more than Jews..."
That's a FACT!
I myself sometimes find that I focus on the 6M Jews, and forget about the 20M Russians.
Thanks for posting this. Good reminder. It's something that some people would like to forget, but I think it'd be a disservice and a shame, for anyone to forget about this tragic period in our world history, and disrespectful to those that either gave their lives to try and protect the innocents, and those whose lives were TAKEN.

There are people right here in the US that think the Holocaust is a myth.
And I am sure there are people in Iran who do not think it's a myth.
When I visited Thailand, it was shocking how few people there knew the history of WWII in Europe. They were selling Tshirts with swastikas on it, not understanding why Westerners were offended.
Perhaps it all comes down to education.
I found myself automatically capitalizing the word, Holocaust, without thinking.
I'm no scholar but I know that in old English many nouns were always capitalized, and certainly all proper nouns. I'd think a catastrophic event such as this deserves to be capitalized.
People often forget that the Nazi's killed more than Jews.
Many Gypsies, gays and others who were not deemed pure by the regime perished under it's extreme doctrine. I'm sure they would have killed off all of Africa if they'd had the chance.

There are people on this planet that think the holocaust is a myth?
Besides Iran, are there other groups that think it's a fabrication/figment???
When I first saw the "17.5M victims of the holocaust" number, I called a b/s in my head. But i was thinking solely of the 6M Jews, and hadn't taken the Catholics, Russians, Christians, etc that had their lives extinguished by the Nazi's in those disgusting camps.
Question (for anyone reading that may know)... should the word "holocaust" be CAPITALIZED, and if so, why is that? Only reason I ask, is that I see it written in articles with a capital "H". Just curious more than anything else.
Thanks for the information OH, by the way.
