1. It is so hard to watch
To think that anyone could look into the faces of other human beings and do this to them.

3. Oh, my...
My thoughts (beyond the horror) were absolute contempt for those who deny the Holocaust... May we never forget.

9. It isn't just denial anymore.
There is Holocaust minimization, ridicule, and other dismissive forms. Soon, the last of the Holocaust survivors and witnesses will all be dead; I believe it is then when we will see an upswing in Holocaust denial.

6. Fortunately for me
I'm still disgusted and amazed at the horror we can perpetrate on each other. Everyone should have to look at the faces of the poor children in those pictures.

14. I am filled with anger and despair everytime i see this sort of material...
...despair at the human condition that allowed these atrocities to occur, anger at those that minimize are deny that they occurred at all...

..and a blind, passionate hatred towards the animals that did this..may their souls burn for eternity...

16. We should never forget
When I was 12 years old my father, a Tank Co. commander told me the story of capturing a train with corpses " Pilled up like cordwood". He made me promise to never forget what was done to European Jews. I have passed this story along to my son.
