January 27 is International Holocaust Memorial Day and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. With this in mind and the aftermath of the Paris terror attack on a kosher supermarket, there has been a great deal of discussion and commemoration in the media.
But could the BBC have asked a more crass, insensitive and downright offensive question on Twitter?
Our one big question this morning: Is the time coming to lay the Holocaust to rest? #BBCTBQ
— The Big Questions (@bbcbigquestions) January 25, 2015
This was the question asked on The Big Questions, a BBC debate show on moral, ethical and religious issues. However, irrespective of the quality of the debate on the show itself, the tweet needs to be seen in isolation because many of those who saw it on Twitter would not have seen it in a larger context.
And how inappropriate for the BBC to even be debating the topic with such a question precisely during the buildup to events commemorating the biggest crime in modern history.
Perhaps the question may have related to a poll that found that some 58 percent of Germans say the past should be consigned to history in reference to the Holocaust. This, however, does nothing to excuse the BBC from raising the issue in such a format that lacks any relevant context to such a sensitive topic.
In addition, a TV debate or discussion is a controlled environment with a moderator as is the case on The Big Questions. Twitter, in comparison, is a virtual jungle where the only moderating influences are those of other tweeters.
The BBC has proudly publicized its comprehensive coverage of Holocaust Memorial Day, drawing attention to a wide range of programming. This included The Big Questions on the BBC’s media release which stated:
A one-hour special Big Questions on BBC One will look at the anniversary and the issues involved from never forgetting, to man’s inhumanity. It will also ask: could something like this happen again?
How did the original question, “could something like this happen again?” and the stated emphasis of the program change so drastically? That it has indicates something insidious within the BBC.
Undoubtedly, had the BBC’s media release published in October 2014 included the question that ultimately was asked, those figures involved in Holocaust remembrance would have raised the alarm.
In light of this and Tim Willcox’s appalling questions to the child of a Holocaust survivor, it seems that insensitivity is something that the BBC is getting rather good at.
HR Managing Editor Simon Plosker adds:
[sc:bottomsignup ]What or who exactly does the BBC want to lay to rest? Holocaust survivors? The memory of six million Jewish victims of Nazi genocide? The BBC evidently has no moral compass when it comes to Jews or Israel. Why should this even be up for debate and why is it only issues of immense importance to Jews that the BBC is prepared to ride roughshod over?
The BBC originally asked could something like the Holocaust happen again. Asking whether people should forget about the Holocaust could very well increase the possibility of it happening again.

Time to lay the BBC to rest?
Well they can only try. I imagine it’s been tried before.
It should never be forgotten. Would you dare ask that question on 11th November when we remember our dead from two world wars. You are a disgrace BBC. Why am I paying you almost £150 for a licence
It’s time toe BBC closed shop….They are so out of touch!!
The BBC asked the question so let’s expose England’s huge responsibility for the evils of the Shoah. Sure England let in a few hundred Jewish children to their imperialist island but imperialist England, brutally swaggering around British Mandate Palestine, totally ignored their so called promise of a few decades earlier, the Balfour Declaration.
Deferring to the Muslim Arabs because of oil and England’s inherent anti Jewishness, in 1939 the Brits signed the White Paper, barring Jewish entry into “Palestine” thus bottling up the Jews in hell hole Europe. Even after World War ll the Brits wouldn’t leave, brutally turning away the pathetic few Jewish survivors from Israel’s shores; they had to be forcibly evicted. Remember! Never forget! EthelCarol
I agree with the BBC. Now that there is no longer any hatred in the world, least of all anti-Semitism and the entire world recognizes the need for a strong and secure Israel, there are no longer any lessons to be learned from the Holocaust.
When do we “lay history to rest”? If history is forgotten, we are then destined to repeat it. The Holocaust was an event of the worst kind of evil of man’s ability to kill another human being because of religion, race, sexual orientation,etc…something that is happening now in the MIddle East. We remember the events of the Holocaust so that we can teach our children not to repeat it. We must use the Holocaust, and Rwanda, and the other holocausts that occurred to teach our children man’s propensity for evil, and the need to fight the evil. What part of this does BBC not get?
Denise Abramovitz
To all the reporters remember all the people who died in all the camps were not killed they were murdered
Islamists believe that Arabs paid the ‘price’ of Palestine due to the Holocaust. They’ve sold it ot the BBC. So in their narrative, were it not for the holocaust there would be no Israel. Therefore the holocaust is best forgotten as soon as possible so they can go on with their propaganda that the Jews colonized and stole their land. Of course BBC never acknowledged that the land of Judea, after which “Jews” are named was stolen from the Jews and their right to recovery of it never expired.
Laid to rest?It should be taught in schools worldwide,even muslim schools,so as to ensure it never happens again.
never forget!!!!! never never never
The BBC and the British will learn a harsh lesson as they are being destroyed by the Muslim Extremist hoard. They surpessed the Hitchcock-Bernstein Holocaust films because they not only didn’t want to offend the German populous after WW II but felt that England couldn’t afford more Jews in their troubled times and further did not want any more Jews entering “Palestine”. What did the get instead what would have been a very productive group?: A bunch of indolent, non assilulating immigrants who will destroy their country. Sad indeed!
If they can ask a sickening question like this on a day like this, then the answer to that very question must be a resounding NO, NO, NO!
Cretinous insensitivity. Start educating your journalists with a sense of history.
Well spoken Helen Lineen. It is time for the BBC to take a long hard look at their anti-semitism and join the dots in all their different statements in the media.
OK then we should also deny that World Wars One and Two ever took place! Anything else that “we” would like to deny ever happened? Open to suggestions!
Eurabia has arrived. The entire continent is lost it is just a matter of time.
The Holocaust makes the BBC uncomfortable because it reminds them of their journalistic policy to destroy Israel with propaganda which they hope will lead to another Holocaust at the hands of their multicultural poster children, the Islamists.
“Get over IT” seems to be the latest lefty mantra. The Holocaust is THE existential event in Judaism since the destruction of the Second Temple. There is NO “getting over it”. EVER!
The philospher Santiago said, “Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it!” Enough said!
it’s not the BBC that is anti Semitic its the fact that the BBC reflects a public opinion that has become anti Semitic, That’s the most dangerous thing. While we continue to fight against these media narratives, and we must, we must also be cognizant where picnic opinion in Europe is. I see a majority of countries and people who would stand by and watch the Jews suffer again. We must also understand that much of the BBC’s audience feels Tim Wilcox’s question is a reasonable one.
Time to lay the DENIERS to rest!
Obviously the BBC is hideous. That is a horrific insult, not just to every Jew who perished at the hands of the evil nazis, but ironically an insult to many of the BBC’s own employee’s ancestors. That is, it is a hideous insult to every WW2 veteran who ever fought to liberate those camps. And yes BBC that includes your very own parents and grandparents, some of them who likely perished while bravely liberating the camps. Finally it is a personal attack on Winston Churchill and those who bravely backed down the Nazis by (FINALLY) even while nonstop insults by Neville Chamberlain and his nazi pals, turned a few of their strongholds into dust. Tell us something BBC, what is it about your friend Hitler and Chamberlain that was so right, and the rest of the world still feels is so wrong?
In essence you want us to lay the memory of the Holocaust to rest and stop wining. OK, every Easter we are force fed the epic of the crucifiction of Christ. This has been going on for 2000 odd years and reinforced by the Catholic church, which laid the foundation of Jewish blame. You stop wining and we may stop wining
Sure, yeah … great suggestion. ‘Cause Jews are beloved the world over, and everyone is very well versed in the history of the Holocaust.
the question is, does the beeb lead public opinion in britain or reflect it? as bad as the former might be, the latter would be a disaster.
How about laying to rest all the terror attacks that have occurred in Great Britain? We can start with this one: 2005 7 July: The 7 July 2005 London bombings conducted by four separate Islamist extremist suicide bombers, killing 56 people and injuring 700. We do not want to see or hear about any terror attacks on your country and your people. And for all U.S. citizens that agree with this BBC tweet, let’s lay to rest 9/11, eh?? As some said below, it is time to lay the BBC to rest!!
The BBC. Should take note of what one of the biggest perpetrators of the Holocaust said at his trial in Nuremberg ,I refer to the evidence of Hans Frank Hitler’s legal expert and governor of Nazi occupied Poland. A Thousand Years will pass and this crime will still not be forgotten, Hans Frank had a road to Demascus conversion? So I ask who is the BBC, question the views of one of its most notorious perpetrators!!!
The BBC loses no opportunity to insult Jews, be it Tim Willcox one week or questioning Holocaust remembrance the next. It’s gone way beyond lack of impartiality, and is now nothing short of institutional persecution.
One has to wonder if the BBC still receives public funding. If so, perhaps the British Government will decide to revoke it’s funding permanently. The ignorance of the BBC is overwhelming.
The BBC has never been a legitimate and accurate commentary on any Jewish issues. Any comment made by them should automatically be deemed offensive and anti-Semitic.
In addition to my last comment, I respect my Christen friends, is it too much to ask for your respect in return. Let us have our moment of remembrance.
If you forget history it is apt to repeat itself. Honor those who have gone before you.
They did not die in vain. God never forgets His Own.
It is etched in our collective memories through eternity! We will never forget! Am Yosroel Chai!
Shame on the BBC. I know– let’s find a Brit National holiday you value and devalue it– just totally– overnight— DON’T YOU KNOW- that you have been used by the devil himself to bring division? So weak and typical of liberal-minded all embracing (mindless) fools.
Just this week I hear that the former American “Village” now a slum, in Schwetzingen bei Heidelberg Germany used to “re-settle” the invading hordes of wouldn’tchaknowit — muslims— some of their own have recently attacked a German lady in a nearby suburb, where I used to live and go to school….
It is this kind of mindless behavior advocated by your mindless wishful thoughtlessness that keeps our world in tension and on a war footing. Peace will never come until you are kicked to the curb and allowed to be washed down the gutter back into the sea of forgetfulness, you slime would-be monsters.
6 million Jews…11 million all together…do their lives mean nothing to you? You do realize the camps could be up and running again in a matter of hours! How dare you even suggest it is time to lay it to rest? As long as there are survivors, as long as there are their children and their children’s children this will NEVER be forgotten.
Outrageous and disgusting comment
The BBC should be laid to rest and put out of its misery.
BBC scumbags
3rd Law of Thermodynamics: absolute zero cannot be reached in a finite number of steps. I.e., no matter how low you’ve gotten, you can always get a little lower.
3rd law of Media Dynamics: no matter how low the BBC has gotten, it can always sink lower
What do you expect from the loonie-lefty anti-Israel, Palestinian supporting BBC?
WW2 ended, so, when did the violence stop. I was born in 61, there has been war, or fighting or killing all my life. I have not seen a single day without numerous dead bodies. The hutus and tutsies was a genocide / holocaust, 78,000 dead in one night, in what was once Yugoslavia, many thousands died, the Vietnam, Korean conflicts killed their thousands. Never to happen again, these type of events are constantly playing out from country to country, boko harem has killed its thousands, somalia and sudan have thousands dying daily, ethiopia has a death rate. This will never stop as long as we have greedy men in government and these filthy pig new world order types who believe the earth can be sustained by 500 million people, the rest of us are apparently ‘excess baggage’ that needs to be erradicated as these monsters feel we are a drain on society. With all this gm food and dna available, they will soon ‘up the ante’ on death by killing people through water and food consumption, this will be the greatest holocaust to ever be seen, the death of 6,500,000,000 souls coming to a world near you, LEST WE FORGET, Israel has been the saviour to millions who have fled their homelands to escape these genocidal maniacs, England is a country of murderous barbarians who will soon rule the land, the white population is doomed, though I doubt they have enough sense to see it, by the way, killing us by food saves a lot of bullets, I would like to know, Who is giving all these weapons to the the arabs and who is paying the bill?
Putting the Holocaust to rest is the same thing as what the Turks did to the Armenians. ( Does anyone know or remember that genocide ) Perhaps the BBC would like to put World War one and two to rest as well. All those killed and murdered will be forgotten, so that we could start anew to prepare for the next Holocaust. We already have a good start with the killing process, such as in Nigeria, Syria, ISIS, and the sending of children wearing bombs to kill others.
What is the matter with the human race ? do we learn from the past ? and if we do, we should not be asking the question that the BBC is asking. We should be learning from the past and start living according to the rules and regulations that were handed down to humanity at Mount Sinai.
Perhaps we can learn to live with each other without hatred and animosity. We should be all striving to make this world a better place for all.
Someone should as the BBC, CNN, CTV, GLOBAL, CBS, CBC, ABC, NBC, PBS the following question: Should we not lay Rememberance Day (11/11) to rest, 9/11 to rest, Martin Luther King Day, and how about the biggest remembrance of all – Christmas? Gets celebrated each and every year since when? How about that? I say, if all these events that are so important for the world to reflect and remember, why is there a question about the HOlocaust being ‘put to rest’? None of the others, excepting for Jesus, is about Jews, is why.
Just a quick comment. I hardly even have chance to see BBC news, but did see the lunchtime news today.
I fully agree that the BBC is VERY anti-Israel nearly all the times I’ve watched relevant programmes – especially the news.
But today they DID give good coverage of the Auschwitz visit. They also interviewed some Holocaust survivors, who emphasised VERY strongly why we should not be allowed to forget.
The BBC shows its pathetic face again:
They are ‘courageous’ enough to lay the holocaust to rest but don’t have the guts to call the Paris massacre ‘Muslim terrorism’.
They give journalism a bad name (if this is even possible today).
Boycott BBC until an apology is aired and then call you cable and ask them to drop BBC from the programming.
Clearly, the BBC needs to be investigated…but by whom?
British Bullshit Corporation at it’s best!
Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander of the allied forces that liberated Europe from the Nazi hordes got it spot on. When witnessing the horrors of Bergen-Belsen, he quickly called for an army photographer to document the atrocities perpetrated there. In a moment of moral clarity, he noted that sometime in the future there would be those bastards who would deny this greatest crime in the annals of mankind. The BBC is certainly no better.
The BBC has long been a cesspool of leftwing, arab and islamic pandering. It is a mysteri why the United Kingdom fought nazism when the official media of the country is allowed to be seized by anti-jewish islamofascists anyway? The BBC really hate Israel and is not shy to show it. BBC is an example of the contrary to a free press where political nepotism secures continuous onesided, biased and bigotted contents. How can BBC get away with it decade after decade?
Shame on BBC
I my selve are a Holocaust surviver. And I am confident that if those atrocites vill be put “to res” it may happen again. I came to visit my tiny shtetel in eastern Galicja after 52 years & I found our neighbors who have dismantled our brick houses in search after valuables, built for themselve houses fro these bricks, & when I asked them what happened to the properties belonged to family adler they alredy forgot that sach femily ever exhisted. therfore I decided to put all my memories on a paper & created a book under the name “A Jew Again” Published first in 2008 by Yad Vashem & recently by Contento De semeric in an English edition. I sugest the BBC journalists & the manager to read this book than they I am confident, will not ask this stupid question. Becouse the Holocaust shold be told from father to sons like in exodus “& you shal tell to your son”
It was not the Jewish Communities that created Holocaust Memorial Day but the governments of Europe as a warning – in case the Garda Karmi and Karma Nabulsi nightmare comes true of Europe’s Moslems being next to be concentrated and deported. Very oddly the Moslem Community does not wish to recognise the historicity of the Holocaust so if it does re-run it will not be as if they were not warned. Even if with fewer casualties as the Turkish 1920 deportation of the Smyrna Greeks; the Algerian 1960 deportation of the pieds noirs; and the Egyptian 1957 deportation of the non- Egyptian merchant colonies – all the precedents including the Arab failure to kill the Israeli Jewish population in 1948 and 1967; are Arab tantrums with minorities and modernity!
Holocaust Memorial Day
They danced in shades of pyramids
And on the stage of the Parthenon.
They danced to the roar of lions in Rome
And to Nietzsche’s dream of an Aryan home.
They danced till the flesh fell away from their bones
As November trees shed leaves – Now there’s no more time for ballet,
The dancers’ so believe –
But there’s always a piccolo player
Who wants to take a chance?
That the dancers’ have not forgotten – how to dance.
The BBC couldn’t wait to tune up eh?
Lt’s stop being so bloody obsessive. Yes, the question was a bit crass, but many o the the speakers were given time to refute it. Tim Wilcox’ s question during his interview in Paris was foolish and he apologised.
MEanwhile BBC coverage has been superb. ‘The Eichmann Show,’ excellent drama-doc; and much else. Today’s BBC 1 o’clock News led with Auschwitz.
There are bigger things and bigger offenders to pursue.
On this day, please remember that Facebook allows anti-Semitic pages like “Jewish Ritual Murder” and “Ritual Jewish Murder”. They refuse to remove them, and now they are blocking those pages from people who report them. Please report these pages and spread the word to others to do the same. Thank you.
The vast majority of those murdered by the Germans and their cohorts were not able to be “laid to rest”. Not even their ashes were given a resting place. Shame on the BBC but is anyone surprised at the rantings of this anti-semitic organization?
The BBC has become a media arm of the anti-Israel groups. It has always been biased toward the Arab nations. This is not a news media, it is a propaganda arm.
Thats like suggesting that we don’t do nov11th no more poppy appeals. No state funeral for the Queen. What a wonderfull suggestion!
As a participant I think these comments are slightly unfair. The questions are provocative for a reason – to provoke thought in the audience at home – over one million live and then millions more on iPlayer.
I’m not uncritical of the BBC (I’ve taken an official complaint about Willcox to the very highest level) but having worked as a freelance contributor to Religions & Ethics department for many years I have always found them reasonable and genuinely trying to be balanced. This programme is actually produced by an independent contractor not the BBC itself. Always better to have some of the facts before you sound off!
given the status of ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims and Muslim heretics by Hamas, the Islamic State , Boko Haram and on and on they already answered their own question. The Holocaust isn’t simply a Jewish question it is a human question that impacted hardest specifically on the European Jews. but it should concern us all because if it can happen to Jews then “Islam uber alles” isn’t far behind.
We can guess what people suggest that its time to forget……..No, history cannot be forgotten, major events in the history of this world cannot be changed by being forgotten. Mass destruction of one group of peoples (as well as other groups too) is not ever too be removed from this world`s story.
Of course they would like the subject laid to rest.
http://physiocrat.blogspot.se/2015/01/holocaust-roll-call-of-dishonour.html
I don’t even understand the question. Do the Native Americans have to forget their genocide? Or the Armenians? It is simple antisemitism cloaked in “appropriate” discussion. We will never forget, nor should the world.period.
Beyond belief. Only good part of this is that it lays bare BBC’s embedded antisemitism for all to see beyond doubt.
Is this bunch of racist bigots really funded by the British government/people/
I think the real question is “when will the huge pile of stinking unorganic substances, called inshort the BBC, will be placed to rest andimmidiately is not fast enough..”
Just wait a hundred years when they get to ask if anyone should care about the old England that was destroyed my mooslem hoards that raped & beheaded hundred of thousands of non believers.
It’s history, we discuss many historical facts, why would it be time to put any to rest, never mind one of, if not the most important in living memory, as we say on remember acne day, lest we forget
typical of the left wing, atheistic pro Islam people who run the BBC! Shut the BBc down and lets us stop paying our licence fee of £200 per year for this biased anti semetic propaganda.
Just who do they think they are…..do they just want to cover the holocaust up like they did the Jimmy Saville scandal etc……They have no right to even suggest it…….
SHORT MEMEORIES!! DID THE NAZIS BOMB ENGLAND IN WWII? HAD THEY SUCEEDED I THINK THE BBC WOULD JUST SHUT THE F UP. TODAY WE’D BE LAYING WREATHS ON YOUR COUNTRY!
The BBC can go to hell. We will continue to fight the denials of the Holocaust until these people are gone from this earth.
If we let the world forget history we will be doomed to repeat it. We must speak for those whose voices were brutally silenced.
The ultimate insenseitivity, especially with rampant anti-semitism going on.
Shame on you BBC! Shocked and horrified and utterly disgusted with you BBC. This must NEVER be forgotten
Really we should forget how London got the crap bombed out it…because we know it will never happen again.
The BBC need to rethink their attitde – do they know how many people perished in the Holocast?
What a bloody disgrace! And where is Danny Cohen in all of this? This is why I NEVERTHELESS watch the BBC.
I cannot believe that the BBC could even consider such a Tweet or debate. They must be held to account.
Is a media outlet such as BBC capable of reporting the news, if it has no moral compass.?
Comments like this obviate the need for constant (and eternal?) vigilance.
should we lay the two world wars to rest. ?? The first was such a long time ago …….
When you are a Nazi you are always a Nazi that’s what happens to the BBC
Maybe it really is time for the BBC to be more sensitive?
Disgusting question, next?
shocking. can u lay history to rest?
He who forgets the past is bound to repeat it
Does any one remember Aktion T4?
BBC past due date has come and gone.
The BBC is out of control.
Buuuum good by BBC
Time to lay the
NEVER AGAIN. The BBC shows how insensitive and partial is to the theme, as well as antissemitic. In the current days, where horrible terrorist attacks have just happened, BBB is being at the very least inappropriate. With this behavior, it shows that Europe has not learnt anything and will certainly have to swallow their own venon (those who encourage prejudice in general).
Never, never and never, it seems, it runs still in some parth of the globe!
Imgine the riots in London if the BBC said It was time to lay the (non-existent) Nakba to rest.
Imagine the riots in London if the BBC said It was time to lay the (non-existent) Nakba to rest. Or for that matter, do the brrainiacs at the BEEB also think its time to lay slavery to rest. After all, the American Civil War is almost 100 years older than the Holocaust. Surely, we have had long enough to outgrow the sale and ownership of human beings, right Or maybe we cant go there yet because slavery is still rampant and praised in Islamic nations. Oh well, as Al Gore said, “What’s a little inconvenient truth?” Meanwhile, Mr. Gore just gave a nationwide U.S.cable network to the Emir of Qatar, the lovely little Sharia enforcing, Gay hanging, Jew hating ally of barack obola that finances Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Gore got 500 million dollars for his rancid soul. Way to go, Al baby. You and the BBC, two maggot infested peas in a pod.
If they have to Twitter such a question, then perhaps it’s time that the BBC were laid to rest? The Holocaust must NEVER be laid to rest. it should be taught in secondary education until the thick headed people that populate our planet understand that atrocities such as this are unacceptable. As it is we already have some people of the Muslim persuasion writing articles about how the holocaust never really happened and it was all part of infidel propaganda, not to mention those who should know better saying the same thing! My father was one of the British soldiers who liberated Belsen, it’s a shame he died two years ago aged 90 because what he saw that day lived with him until the day he died. I honestly rarely watch anything on BBC now, their appeasement policies march hand in hand with our appeasement government and anti Semitism is on the rise. It’s appalling.
While speaking about holocaust I hope that history of concentration camp Jasenovac will not be forgotten. It was one of the biggest ones after Auschwitz. The relatives of the victims are still looking compensations e.g. from Vatican and the croatian and bosnian perpetrators are still feted as national heroes. (P.S: more in “Jasenovac – Holocaust promoted by Vatican” http://arirusila.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/jasenovac-%e2%80%93-holocaust-promoted-by-vatican/ )
Here’s a petition demanding accountability from the BBC for those anti-Semitic comments about the Holocaust:
https://www.change.org/p/baron-hall-of-birkenhead-denounce-lay-holocaust-to-rest-question
Where ignorancef is bliss it follows to be wise. Unfortunately there will always be hatred and jealousy in the World.. The first scapegoat is the Jewish people, it Will never change that is why it should be taught in schools and never forgotten because like the brave IDF soldiers Jewish people must learn to fight back and not go meekly to the Gas chambers and Hell.
Hitler said that everyone would forget after 10 years. Is this what the BBC wants? There are issues of education, values and non violence that have to be addressed so how can the BBC of all people let us down. Think of today issues to do with Rwanda and Balfur and and and Communication with all faiths and people are imperative and cannot be overlooked??????
Substitute any other genocide for the word Holocaust, then dare them to ask that.
Not to remember would be a sin!!!!
XX commemorating the biggest crime in modern history. XX Lets just paper over Stalin, and his 10s of millions klled shall we?
Here’s a link to the full show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwRdLCUJ_rg from beginning to end this is a vile attempt to down play the holocaust in a calculated and disrespectful manner
Perhaps a bit unfortunate but hang on. Don’t we believe in free speech and open debate?
My response to effete snobs known as BBC,I have already chosen to boycott you.U R forgotten! The Holocaust…we will never forget…Never again.B”H
Should we not have a Remembrance Day Service ?
the Holocaust victims can never be forgotten, more so because of the escalating rage against the Jews in this day and age. They are indeed God’s chosen, the apple of his eye.
Not now not ever!!!
This was a dark day for the world and we must nerver forget it happened!!!
Debbie Pitt
RIP, BBC. Rest in Penance for your sins against Truth. I’ve not bought a TV licence for the privilege of watching Al Beeb for years. I hope the threats to seriously reform the BBC become reality.
The question was asked not for information but from insensitivity and blatant Jew hatred!! How dare the question even be asked?! The miserable sods!!
NO NO NO NEVER FORGET
“The BBC have finally reach into there bottomless pit of stupidity”
It just shows what ‘Low Life’ work for the BBC. Wilcox being a perfect example. Quote from the German Federal Statistics Office; ‘The fall in the German population can no longer be stopped. Its downward spiral is no longer reversible. Germany will be a Muslim country by 2050’. One more quote from Mu’ammer al Gaddafi. ‘There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquest. We don’t need terrorists or homicide bombers. The 50+ Muslims already in Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few generations……Ivan Lang. Eurabia is not too far away.
We will NEVER forget!!! No more death camps!
We will remember what Amaleq has done to us!!!
And – we will always have the power to protect ourselves!
If you wrong us will we not revenge? Our memory – is our revenge!!!
Not while anti semitism still runs rampant, not while the Paris metro is emblazoned with anti Semitic slogans and not while idiots at the BBC can ask such a frighteningly insensitive question.
Lisa, my father was in Counter Intelligence during WWII and was very much involved in the investigations of alleged Nazi crimes along with his outfit liberating Dachau. He came back with horrific pictures, too. The vast number of those dead in piles in the pictures died due to typhus! You and I do not know each other but I recommend you educate yourself based on facts not emotion. I do not take what I say lightly and I ask you to do your own research before you cast me off as “sick.” Delve into information that is not spoon fed to you by Hollywood, educational institutions, mainstream media, AIPAC, ADL and our sold-out/bought-off politicians. I used to believe as you do until I did extensive research on the Holocaust issue and found out that everything I thought I knew was greatly manipulated. Please study the issue and stop falling for the ad nauseam propaganda. Look at the link I posted prior to this one and then read/listen to the new ones I have provided too. Good luck in your trip down the rabbit hole. It is not pleasant in the beginning but it must be done. We as a society have been conditioned and brainwashed by very clever and powerful individuals who lie to keep their power intact. The Nuremberg trials were a prime example of this brainwashing. Most people don’t realize that 90% of those in charge of the trials were of Jewish ancestry and/or influence. In other words, it was a whitewash of the facts to placate the masses at the expense of solid evidence that would prove otherwise. Take a look at the gas chamber issue and you will see how the “Final Solution” was/is not what we heard. Conforming strictly to conform is not patriotic. I choose to speak the truth no matter how others look at me. http://loveforlife.com.au/content/08/05/12/nuremberg-trials-and-holocaust-do-war-crimes-trials-prove-extermination-mark-weber http://inconvenienthistory.com/archive/2013/volume_5/number_4/fred_leuchters_indiscretion.php https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5sbegfCz7o
The entire Holocaust story was/is a complete manipulation of the facts and millions of critically thinking people are figuring that out. The Holocaust has become an industry unto itself and your site only proves my point. You and the many other sell-outs keep the Holocaust in the forefront to keep your “Cash Cow” alive. Norman Finkelstein had it right in his book, “The Holocaust Industry.” What he got/gets wrong though, is his inability to show or expose the extensive scientific/forensic proof that the gas chambers never existed and that the “six million” figure of Jewish deaths is, too, an absolutely exaggerated myth and lie. Robert Faurisson, Ernst Zundel, Fred Leuchter, Germar Rudolf, Mark Weber, David Irving, Bradley Smith, David Cole (well, David,once had it right) and countless others are heroes to many including me. What courage in a seriously courageously devoid world! By the way, none of the people I mentioned are anti-Semitic, either…..so don’t pull this popular antic with hopes of biasing your readership. In fact, one of them is Jewish! Well, maybe he is a “self-hating Jew, huh?” But don’t let the facts get in the way of your contrived story. Do you ever speak of the “Rape of Germany” where good ol” Uncle Joe Stalin raped, murdered and pillaged while Britain and the U.S. turned their collective heads? Or how about the Bombing of Dresden, etc., etc. etc. where we and Britain tested our incendiary bombs on tens of thousands of innocent victims, many of which were women and children? Of course not, you focus on the easy target, Hitler, ad nauseam, although historical evidence proves he was not the monster you and your ilk claim he was. These historical facts based on voluminous amounts of evidence seem to be forgotten in your article. You are merely a sick and deranged soul living off the tit of the Holocaust narrative. Enjoy your reparations! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnu5uW9No8g

d) New imperialistic countries formed such as the United States after the Spanish-American War, the First Mexican Empire (1821-1823) + The 2nd Mexican Empire (1864 – 1867), Chile, and other small-time countries.
e) The world, in reaction to independence in the Americas, claimed and conquered African, Asian and even European territories. Nationalism grew in these imperialistic countries leading to….
3. The World Wars!
a) The advancement of medicine, engineering, and the such left us a legacy of advanced technology such as air planes, quinine (no longer used), camera, TV, radio, radars, etc but also included new weapons to kill
