[net.religion.jewish] Documenting the deaths of the 6 million

robison@lzwi.UUCP (R.T.D.ROBISON) (09/23/85)

Regarding the periodic attempts to "prove" that the extinction of the
6 million is myth:  the Yad Vashem organization in Jerusalem is engaged
upon a stupefying project -- to obtain evidence regarding the{_
specific circumstances of death for each individual.  They feel they
have individual witness acounts regarding
the fate of approximately 3 million of the victims.  Of necessity, a great
deal of the evidence is supplied by the non-Jewish people who worked in
the camps.

If you ever find yourself discussing this question of proof with someone,
you may wish to point out that they are raising doubts where in fact truly
remarkable documentation exists.  The failure to document the other
3 million (yet) can be accepted as not unreasonable in view of the
conditions, and in view of the fact that at least a million victims were
very young children, many born after their mothers were taken prisoner.
