These are comments left by visitors to the Holocaust History Project web site, in the month of November, 1999. Having worked with some intensity on denial concerning Auschwitz, I was happy to find at your site some thoughts and observations which were new to me, and which I expect to be useful in the near future. Good Work!
Great site!!!
I personally think that this web site is so important to remember those poor people who were forced to give up their lives because some nut-case thought it was right. I appreciate your efforts and I hope you will continue to keep up the good work.
I think this page is cool and steven is h-o-t-t hot!!!
Thanks for all the help on my research paper!
I think That The Holocaust was a very interesting point in history but also a very tramatic. I have lived in maine all my life but recently found out that my great granmother was gassed in the gas chambers in one of the concentration camps and I have since been learnind about diffrent things in the Holocaust History class that I attend at Gorham High School.
The only reason Hitler killed the Jews was to obtain their money & their assets with which to fund his war machine. He wished to enlarge the country of Germany. This meant making war with the surrounding countries to capture their territory. A war which Germany lost. Would his ghastly deeds have been justified by the German citizens if he had won? The Jews were not plundered because they were Jews, or because he disliked their religion. He was merely looking for any group of people, within his own country & within the countries he would invade, to slaughter & to rob in order to fund his war needs. Since the Jews controlled vast amounts of wealth, he set his sights on them & they were doomed. And the rest of the German leadership supported him. The Jews had to be killed off so that they would not seek retribution at a later date for his thievery. He also killed the Jewish women & children, as well as poor Jews so that there would be no one to avenge the killing & thievery in subsequent generations. He could have raised taxes to acquire the funds for his war machine, but then he would not have lost his popularity & could have been removed from office. He lived for power & recognition. The purpose of his war was to extend the German geographical boundaries, remove or kill the current occupants of the surrounding territories, and move in German citizens on the newly acquired lands. He started a hate campaign against the Jews to obtain the support and acceptance of the Gentile Germans in his slaughter of the Jews. The German leaders were successful in obtaining their objectives in the killing of the Jews & the acquisition of the Jews' assets. They were not successful in the expansion of the German territories and the winning of the war. Many millions were spent & many millions died in his expanionist attempt. To which group of German citizens will some future generation of Germans look to - to slaughter & plunder when they feel the need to expand German territory once again? It won't be the Jews. All their money & lives are gone. History does repeat itself.
Thank you for all of the information. I am a teacher. I am so glad to have read the essay.
I have been interested in the holocaust for so long probably since I was around nine how terrible it is thaT SUCH A thing actually happened I have gone to certain informative seminars that gave a rough view of what went on during the holocaust but nothing like your website really showed me what really happened even the people who were there have not given me as many gruesome pictures of what went on or details of why? thanks for the inforamtion
Well for one, i feel bad that you couldn't sleep, but i know how you feel. I'm doing a report on skinheads, the nazi massacar left overs. I felt sick to the bone when i wrote to one of them asking them what they were about and they are just the sickkest people in the world. I hope they all burn in hell. I believe that all men are created equal and there is no color but green. MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! Well thats all, peace out shawdy. MADHAVI
I, like most who seem to wander here, am using this extrodany site for a history paper. THe reserch and data seem endless, but I would complain because in a way this mandatory assignment is a way of letting todays youth know how easy most of us have it. I am an open-minded person and I often drift into fantizes to write my papers better. I try to imagin what it would be like, but this I can't. No matter how many books I read, how many photographs I view it is still unimagainable. I learn more each year, and more information is discovered, I can't put myself in their shoes. And in a sense, fear doing so. I consider myself a loving person, who enjoys life and all living. I am an easy target for endless debates about the holocaust, and what is truely was. Despite everything I would rather know the horrid truth than believe a lie. I want and hope everyone will work together or history might repeat itself. Love and huuggs to all ~Nikki
I am looking for a complete list of the pre-war and wartime Gauleiters for a new book I am preparing. I hae already been published - "Knight's Cross: German & Axis Armed Forces 1939-1945", volumes I & II (ISBN 085420 168 8 & 085420 178 5) so this is a serious academic request. Can you help me?
For National History Day I recieved the topic Holocaust. I have been having troble finding primary resources. When I found this site, all I could say was wow. It is truly amazing. Thank You.
I'm glad there are so many web pages for this horrible time of death in ww2. I'm 16 and I'm going to write a book about the horrible times of this time many call the Holocaust. I'm planning to travel to Poland and Germany to visit the camps. I'm going to tell everyone I can on this terrible subject so it will never happen ever again. Again thank you. Angela
Information acquired from this website was very detailed and helped me immensely with my History Fair Project. The photographs were a great plus! Thank you---
Hitlers gay
For a school project we had to choose somehting that we had learned little about but yearned to know more. I don't know why but I chose the holocaust. Now for 9 weeks I have been sick. I have nightmares and trouble thinking. I cannot doo anything in my daily life like I used to. My life has been altered foreven knowing that this happened to people. I cry everytime I hear about it. In my classrooms people will argue for Hitler and that will begin my outrage. I will try to argue my point but they are just as stupid as he was. They don't get it that no matter the way you life your life or your beliefs WE ARE ALL HUMAN. We deserve as much respect as they do. I am a white, female, of southern baptist religion. I am not jewish I don't even know a jewish person. I would have been just fine during the holocaust. That makes me even more upset. I would have lived through it. I would have watched this happen. I want everyone to realize what happened and join with me in saying NEVER AGIAN!!!!
Hey man!what's happening dudes I just used your website and it is absolutely fly. You guys are just kicking it with this website.
thanks for this site, it really helped me with my histroy project.
Hello this is a concernered visiter. Weare learning about the holocaust in school and I don't like the things that were going on then. It was not nice infact that was ludicrouse. When I heard what had happened I was saddened to hear that people like that would do that to fellow human beings. I think that Hitler was an insane egotistical person who let hatred over come him which I think should not have happened. He did not have a heart and anybody that thought he did is messed up in the head those people have probems and Ithink that if they were put in that same torture they would think different about what they are thinking or felling. If you have any feelings or any thoughts that you would like to send me you can contact me at johnathan_3@yahoo.com thanks for letting tell you guys my feelings and live well and prosper from your expirence. You are very gifted and fine people, and you were given the gift for a different life. Sincerly, Johnathan Sullivan
my father(a gentile)was in the "clean-up" division in WW2 and he went in to load and clean-up behind the mess left by the "superior" race HAH superior,NOT! i am now 30 yrs old and have the highest respect for the survival of a race persecuted because of their beliefs.I also have no tolerance for racism now because of what has happened to the Jews throughout our history. i pray that God blesses and keeps his people,all of us and hope we never forget the past and that it is never repeated.You have my neverending respect and support.
I'm looking for research to help my younger sister in her school project. i am English, and none of my family is German, i am friends with several Germans and i'm sure they would all appreciate the effort put in by people to bring the truth to light
I'm doing a school R.E. project and your site has been very educational and helpful Chris age 13
This is really one of the most documented Holocaust site, keep up the good work and educate more people about this horror, so it will never be repeated...ever!!!

How horrible it is to know that the Holocaust is a fact in the history of our world and that both the perpetrators and the victims were human beings. It is difficult to make oneself realize that human beings are capable of such atrocities upon their own kind. To remember the Holocaust is to admit to yourself that these were real people, not demons. Even real people are capable of evil actions. Thank you for teaching myself and others about this piece of history we all wish we could say never happened. We must remember that we are real people also. We must teach our children to be compassionate, fair, and morally secure. We must make sure this never happens again. Tonya jr. at Marshall Univ, WV
The Holocaust was the most disgusting display I have ever heard of. This website has done an excellent job of exemplifying the horrors of this tragic event.
I think this sight is real informative. I don't see how any one can say the Holocaust never existed. I have been studying in school and the evidance is pure facts, there out there!
THIS SITE WAS VERY USEFUL. IT REALLY HELPED, CHEERS! K AND B
Since your case is apparently so well documented go head to heads on TV on TV with the Holocaust Deniers. Because you fear the Deniers more than death itself, you persecute and prosecute them in the Western World by means of quasi courts where truth is no defence. You are waiting to somehow subvert the US First Amendment to the Constitution to complete the suppression of historical truth. A response would be welcome.
I'm doing a report on the Holocaust. I can't believe that this even happened! What went on behind the gates of the concentration camps was unthinkable- murder on the human soul.
I give out all my thoughts, prayers, love, and support to the victims of the Holocaust, this web site has helped a lot, thanks you guys!!!
I am tired of people who blind themselves to past history and current events because of this one relatively short, brutal, highly publicized time 50 years ago. As though it is the lowest man has ever stooped. Don't you realize, as sad as it may be, that things like this or worse have gone on all through human history. An informed world citizen also knows that these things are still going on today in Rowanda, Somalia, Chechnia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Yugoslavia etc...? How may people died in the name of Christ? The inquisition, the annihilation of American Indians, the Maya, the Inca and countless other native peoples come to mind. I realize it is a sick voyeuristic aspect of us humans to repeatedly look at things that disturb us. The holocaust was merely the first time these horrific things were documented on film. We, as a society, need to learn some self control. We need to look away from these sickly attractive images and fix what can be fixed, make a better present, plan a better future, and not dwell in the unchangeable past. How long must we villify the Germans, and subject ourselves to self flagellation about this one event. How many picture books need to be printed, films need to be made, or web sites need to be created? What do you hope to fix by staring at these horrible images and reading the accounts? The problem has been fixed. Jewish persecution is not this worlds most pressing problem. Why are you not up in arms about the the 60 million Russians who died at the hands of Stalin after the War. What about the removal of 75% of all Armenians from the face of the planet? Is it because there were no photographers there to document it or cool movies since made about it? Maybe it is because these other peoples were so decimated that when the dust cleared that they didn't have the means to publicize their plight as well as the Jews. If you want to feel bad about something choose a cause you can do something about, not an issue that was corrected 50 years ago.
I am a senior at the University of Nevada, Reno and I looked to this site to find information about Holocaust denial. I have read many primary sources about holocaust history specifically relating to the gas chambers. I wanted to explore both sides of the revisionist vs. anti- revisionist arguement objectively before coming to any conclusions. After reviewing the literature I can clearly say that there is no truth to the revisionist theory. They make simplistic yet deceptive claims with no basis in reality. Some of their claims are based on such faulty reasoning that their falaciousness can be refuted without even examining hard evidence. It makes my heart very heavy to know that the revisionist theory is even being debated. It makes a mockery of our scholastic institutions and it dishonors the memory of all those who were killed during the Holocaust
This site was very helpful to me , when I did a project on the Holocaust. It had alot of good information on this subject!
An amazingly well-researched site . Hoping that such a tragic disaster never plagues the earth again ...
Who would be sick enough to kill so many innocent people? And who would be even sicker to deny that such a terrible thing happened? Stupid, sick disgusting monster, that's who. Thank you so much for showing just how true and distrubing the holocaust was.
This is my first time at this site. I am taking a course on the Holocaust at college and this site has been a great help in my research. I have learned so much here. I had absolutely no idea what a tragedy this was, and what a dark time in our history. Thank you so much for this informative site.
i found this page verry helpfull as we are studing the holocaust as our humanities project at school. i cannot belive the audacity of some people that denied having anything to do with murdering the jews. it is clearly the most horrific time in history and i hope nothing like that ever happens again sincerly R.B
Dear Sir/Madam: I have recently watched the two Steven Spielberg films which interview survivors of the Holocaust. Much of my family perished in the Holocaust. My family is also closely related to many survivors who have been interviewed by Steven Spielberg for his films. I would like to look up some family names of possible survivors who were never found. Would this be possible, and if so, would you please send me phone numbers or contacts who could assist me in my efforts? I am also interested in assisting with any film documentary production on the Holocaust. Sincerely, Sharon Wajswol
i have reading a lot abot the holocaust, but the job you have done is amazing! im not jewish but have family in germany and they suffered a lot also because they are catholics....actually all of them live in Southamerica... i want to know how is that Hitler just dissapeared and nobody knows about his death!. Im sure Hiltler was the devil because no many human beings can do such a horrible things!, dont know how he convinced everibody to kill the others. I have a very loved friend of mine who is juish but he never want to talk about this item and i understand it. Cant believe the man is so cruel, why usa and the other countries didnt fight against this hitlers goverment earlier!!! have many questions yet. HELGA G.
I send send out my prayers and love to all of the victims
And there are still people denying...... I can`t believe!! What is powering these minds? Will this sickness ever end. Thank you for your great site.
I am doing a project at my school (Shrewsbury, England)all about the holocaust. Your site has been very helpful. Thank you. Marcus, aged 14 years.
What do I type to even express the emotion I feel when I hear of the Holocaust. I am not Jewish, and my family left Germany long before the Nazis came to power. I am not old enough to personally remember the Holocaust, I am 25. But my loving parents answered my questions to the best of my knowledge and when they couldn't answer, they got me a library card. The horror one must have felt to lose thier families. I feel blessed have mine. But I do know that the Holocaust will never be forgotten, for I will answer my children's questions, and when I can't, I will get them a library card.
Thank-you for showing the people who deny the Holocaust. It disturbs me to think someone could deny such a an act. Your site has answered most of my questions about Auschwitz. More sites like this should be created to inform the people that don't know or deny the truth. Thanks once again for all you have done. Ben imasktr@aol.com
I think it's incredible that anyone can have the audacity to deny that the holocaust ever happened, it was possibly the most shameful period in human history and all I can say is I pray it never happens again. I think it's brilliant that people have gone to all this effort to educate people, so we can all work as hard as possible to prevent something on this scale happening again. Chas.
I love this page. Great job. Keep up the good work.
I am a 13 year old student looking for information on the Holocaust and about the Jewish people that had to go into hiding. I think that what Hitler and the Nazis did to Jews and to Catholics etc. is just horrable.
I am doing a project and it is due monday I hope I get a good grade because this historical moment deserves it.
A very usable site. I am currently researching historical sites for use by 'gifted' students working on their own projects.
As a German, I am very very sorry for what my people have done to the Jews. It is an amazing thing that Israel and Germany can be friends today. No amount of reparations Germany can pay to Israel for the holocaust can make up for the tragic loss to the Jewish people.
i think that the holocaust was the most horrible thing to ever happen to anyone. Although it was a horrific matter i find so interesting and love to learn all i can about it. I think that anyone who had anything to do with the nazi party should be punished. I have alot of sorrow in my heart for all of the vitims of th Holocaust. The children more than any. Being so young and javing to face something so horrible is terrible. I wish that this had never happened and pray that it never happens again. Jewish people are just like everyone else and shouldn't be disgriminated against. For anyone who is Jewish, be proud of what you are and don't let anyone change what you are. Your beliefs are just as important as anyone elses. Be proud of the Jews that were strong and those to struggled to live. jennifer
I'll give a shout out for all the Palestinians who were ethnically cleansed by the Jews so they could settle Israel.
Im a freshmen in high school and I am writing a five paragragh essay on the Holocaust your site helped me so much. Thanks for dedicating your time to develope such an insightful web page. Maybe others will forget the story of the Holocaust but I will Always remamber. Sincerely, Krystal Abfalter
I am a 13 year old student and I am doing a report on the Holocaust. It is horrific. I am Jewish, and proud of it, and I hope nothing like that ever happens again. Sincerely, C.J.
I was just looking up information about hte Holocaust and how the media has portrayed it, and I came across so much negative information by deiners. It was very helpful coming to this site and finding useful information. Thank you
This page is very well buit and has lots of information keep up th good work.
I really appreciated this web site. It provided wonderful information for my report. If anybody knows of a website that has more information, e-mail the address to me at Firebug_j@yahoo.com by Thursday, November 18, 1999. Thanks!!!!!
Very good info! Thanks a lot!!!!
i went throw your pages i dont understand how a person could do such a thing all of this shows how sick this world can be i think that the people who made this page is doing the right thing.i think that people need to know what happned that way this kinda thing wont ever happen agine and to all the suviors may god be with u i think what happend is sick all of things that happned to thoes incent people is sick.i think that u guys did a good job and keepit up
My mother has some Jewish blood and a friend of mine, a Jew, said that this fact alone would have been enough to put me in a death camp. I'd always been very aware of the holocaust up until then, but after he said that I realised that but for the Grace of God go I.
you guys rock!
I read the essay on the Chemistry of Auschitz with great interest as a chemist and a Jew. I was particularly interested as I had recently come across Leuchter's site and was appalled both at his attitude to the Holocaust and at his poor grasp of chemistry. I also just saw the exhibit "Wittness and Legacy - The art of the Holocaust" at the Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA

Thank you. We must remember what Shoah meant for Europe and for all the world. Internet may be well recognised as an usefull way to keep this memory. Sorry me for my English! ;-) Simone
I wasn't even born when all of this happened. I cannot believe this happend only half a century ago. And when I look at the news on television I still do not understand why people haven't learned.
I found all the information very intereting, but equally very sad .please keep up the good work so everyone will know about the horrors of the holoaust.
I would just like to say, I think most of us have lost sight what veterans have done for us. The concentration camps were horrible to be living in. Hitler is lucky he killed himself, otherwise if would have been alive, I would have killed him no matter how severe the concequence. Thank you for listening to my note. Brian
I am an Australian, and despite our 211 years history as a free people who have defended that heritage in several wars, I am painfully aware that freedom is very fragile and so easily lost, so I am interested in the historical events in Germany in the 1930's and 1940's. Your site is excellent. However, can I suggest you list more than one of the books of Elie Wiesel. Last year I read his autobiography "All Rivers Run to the Sea" which was inspiring, and since have managed to access a couple of others, but most of his titles are not available, being out of print. Also why not include a separate Directory section lisitng other relevant internet sites, including the URL and a description of each. - for example, one excellent site is the ANNE FRANK site - www.annefrank.com - because there's much rubbish on the Internet a Directory is a very valuable resource.
I really , well not enjoyed this site but I found it quite helpful. If anyone has any info on how racism was a prt of the holocaust please email me asasp..... Thank you again for such and imformatve site! : }
I found that this site had a lot of information. I know it probably sounds, but I like reading and learning about thHolocaust and World War II. Those are two things that we can't allow to ever happen again.
I haven't read all there is to read in this site, but I do hope it is usefull when I go to write my own paper on this subject.
I find this site quite informitive. Its the only one I have found that actually shows the true barbaric nature of the holocaust. That people actually deny the holocaust gives me the frightening thought that we have not learned from our mistakes. I pray that enough people relize that Hitler and his ideals were misguided and evil.And I hope that more people relize that the holocaust and the people that sufferd in it are both very very real.
I have watched the the SCHINDLER LIST movie just three days ago and I still can't understand why those NAZI's animals decided to kill the Jewes people in Europe!! I am really confused about the Holocaust. Can anybody recommend me a book that tells the REALLY story of the Holocaust?.
Nothing in this world will make me doubt. The next generation of those who will remember is already here and we will not forget.
Was a great source of information. Thank you so much for this information. Without people like you school would be next to impossible.
A superb site. Thank you for all your hard work. As a senior councillor on our local council I am trying to make my colleagues realise that we should support Holocaust Remembrance day. For some peculiar reason many of them think we should "forgive and forget". As my colleagues are not Jewish I would have thought that the forgiveness is not in their gift. May God Bless you all for your work. WE MUST NEVER FORGET.
Hey, I am 12 and very interested in the holocaust. If you find any good pages e-mail me please.
hello. holocaust was bad and mean
As I was preparing a thematic unit on the Holocaust, I happened onto this website and found it very helpful and informational. Thank you so much for providing such a wealth of information!
Hi my name is Sarah and i think that this site is brilliant. I came on here to find out about stuff for a project and i found more than what i needed so cheers sarah
My visit to the page left me amazed at how somebody could be so cruel. Our class is working on hitler and the holocaust and the further we go on the sicker we get.
I, and all those who have read this site think that it is a very informative page on the sheer barbarity of the Holocaust. In itself it is brutal, but that only enhances the effect. I wish to see more of you and pages like this in future.
I have looked at the Holocaust web site and am horrified at the pictures in the library section. I am sending this message not knowing exactly what to say. How can I put in to words the sadness I feel, as a fellow human being, for all of those people who lost their lives and families. I have the greatest respect for their memories and the survivours from that hideous time. People often refer to this period as "being so long ago", as if we should forgive and forget. In the history of the world it was a whisper away and as someone who has been on this earth for only thrity two years I feel strongly that the vicitims and their families should be remembered and cherished. The web site is harrowing but it really does inform people of what some of the worst characteristics of mankind are. The day we can eliminate racism and intollerance the better the world will be. My deepest respect. Claire
I am an ausie, and i think the holocaust sucks because what he did was very wrong
I was greatful that I could find reputable information on the tragidy that occured to the Jewish people and others such as the Gypsies and political enemies of the Regime. Pictures are worth a thousand words, maybe soon you will have some. Please remember that "ethnic cleansing" is still going on around the world, and should not be tolerated against any race.
I am doing a project on the Holocaust and found this site very helpful. We are focusing on the SS St.Louis and why America did virtually nothing to help the Jews (I am Jewish). This is the only site that I found any information on the St. Louis. Thanks so much. Your site is great! I'll be back!
I am a BA(Hons) graduate who specialised in the study of the Holocaust. My son is currently studying this subject at school and whilst I have an extensive array of evidence I was pleased to see that you had some documents I had not previously seen.
I have always heard about Hitler and the concentration camps. It bothered me, but I never really got to understand how horrible it really was. Today I watched a movie from 1987 called "Escape From Sobibor". I apologize if I got the spelling wrong. I couldn't watch it in it's entirety because it was very disturbing. Although not a lot of the horror was shown, it made me realize that what those people went through can never be compared. I wish there was some way to understand how any of it could have happened, but there never will be. Let us all hope and pray that nothing like that EVER happens again. Jennifer Scalise
I am a german, and I am very happy to see such sites at the Internet. It is absolutely important, that our youngsters have the possibility to read, hear and see about this .... historical time in the german history. Many thanks
This tragedy wasn't fake. It would be ungrateful to say such a thing; especially for the people that lost their lives in the camps away from their families, scared and abused. Let's NOT FORGET and let it be a life-guide for the next generations. Finally, I hope that people with OSCAR SCHINDLER'S courage and strength do exist nowadays. Great job! 5/11/1999 F.P
I think this is a good site!!!
We are the A.B.C.S.L. - the Association to Boycott German Companies that used Slave Labour We are drawing your attention to our web site - www.boycottdaimlerchrysler.com We think it is time for justice for the slave laborers!
We love this web page! it was full of great stories. Luv ya!
The new generations must never forget.
I just wanted to share with you that I thought you're sight was very good. Our school recently had a forties unit where we learned about the Holocaust. We were having a discussion on what a just sentance for Hitler would be. Someone stood up and said that he should be killed. Then a girl stood up and said "My friend's mom has a bumper sticker that says 'Why do we kill people that kill people to show people that killing people is wrong?'" That phrase pretty much ended our discussion. I have read the stories of the Holocaust and have had nightmares. From our unit, I know and our whole class knows that We must not forget, because if we do, it might happen again. i think this was a very sad time. i'm an 8th grade student doing resaerch on the holocaust. i have learned so much. it was very moving! thank you for this web site!
just checking out heini
I have read a few essays that have said that the holocaust was all fake, I dont belive this hoe do do fell about it, and what are the facts?
Perfect site! Go on like this... world must remember!!!!
I have heard about the holocaust all my life, and have never had the slightest doubt that it did occur. My father served in France in 1944-1945, and he told me that even there he saw much evidence of atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis on civilian populations. Although the holocaust has always been a subject of interest to me I have never taken the time to research it. Now that I have internet access and have found your site I can find out the things I feel everyone should know about this great tragedy. Thank you for providing the resources I need to do this.
A masterful "team" at work here. Thak you for a "sui-generis" resource in an age of "sound-bytes" on the net. Professional and done with dignity and accountibility.//ejt
Thanks for the great information that I found here. This is a great place to find things on the holocaust and what the peole went through there. But for the future you should include some pictures of what the people had to go through.
