What ELSE wouldn't they be proud of???

Well, Paul??? What ELSE do you think they'd be ashamed of???

"The Holocaust was not conceived because of a one-dimensional hatred of the Jews."

"The Holocaust ... was it an integral part of the Third Reich's existence? In the scope of German politics it was essential"

"As for the warped minds, you might be surprised to know that many of those who came up with and carried these plans held Ph.D.'s and were from professional and respectable trade backgrounds."

"What must be taken into account first is that neither Hitler nor the Germans were the inventors of Anti-Semitism. "

"Interestingly and what often gets overlooked, is that Hitler stated that his management of the Jews came from what he learned about how the Americans treated its Indians. Not to mention the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws were almost verbatim adaptations of the American Jim Crowe Laws. So what happened there was Hitler's leadership was actually fostered by encouraging a cause that was already prevalent in most Europeans."

"many of the high ranking SS officers held PhDs and were extremely intelligent people."

"...the Reich and its policies were "politically correct" for its day"

"Were the members of the SS psychopaths and sadists? While such an environment may attract such people it can hardly be argued that the majority of SS members fit this mold"

"The abominable policies enforced by the SS had been made acceptable through German laws that prevailed at the time. As a consequence, it was entirely legal for the SS (under Nazi law) to enforce these policies without legal repercussions."

"As evidenced, Tavor joined the Israeli security forces and was hailed as a hero during the Eichmann capture. Murder is murder. Acts like these make the men who commit them analogous to the men they are killing."

"Historically and objectively, it is one-dimensional to believe that this "system" executed people solely for their religion. If you properly research the "system" you will find there were many social, political, economic and collectivist reasons for the executions. I am not advocating this matter, nor am I trying to open a floodgate. However, the belief that atrocities occurred solely due to religious beliefs is a naive misconception"

"I think its necessary to define those responsible for targeting eugenic enemies before entering into debate about how the members of the SS carried it out.Hitler, Goring, Heydrich and Himmler weren't the only ones. A lot of highly respected educated people who financed the Third Reich were calling for this too."

"After all, not only did Germany want this solution, the rest of Europe did too"

"What motivates a man to do these things? First let us dismiss the idea that such things are only capable by a former member of the SS"

And LAST - but NO means least...

"Objectively, the evidence doesn't add up to what the Allies told us. We heard about gas chambers and massive burial pits but the photos taken by the Allies show hundreds and sometimes thousands of corpses lying out in the open. Not in gas chambers and not in pits. With my simple medical background its fair to say those bodies were probably those who perished from typhus or other diseases, perhaps those who died from being given lethal doses of nutrition by the liberating Allies."

You've given them SO much to be proud of in a son, haven't you???

Perhaps it's time they knew???
