Did it say it was totally burned and destroyed? Devil is in the details.

FALSE. FALSE. FALSE. The Holocaust Museum does NOT only have exhibits about Jews. It focuses on that group of people, since the entire group was almost wiped out in Europe during that period---and since the Nazis themselves made it clear that group was its prime target. But, the museum does not ignore the fate and plight of Poles, or any other ethnic group, who also suffered during this period. Its website makes that quite clear, if you actually look at their past online exhibitions (including the one for Artur Szyk, wasn't he a Pole?). If you look at their FAQS page, they discuss the clergy and Catholics killed in the camps. This is also quite clear if you have actually been there to the museum yourself.

They dipped the pages into de-ionized water, and you could read the pages crystal clear! 18,000,000 people died during the Holocaust, bookratt. Only 6,000,000 were Jews. Tell me - how is representing only 1/3 of the victims accurate!? ALL POLES were the intended victims...any who were not blonde hair, blue eyed. From 1900 - 1999, 174,000,000 people were MURDERED by government sanctions around the world! Democide Photos

Only 6,000,000 were Jews The real numbers of WWII victims are unknown...the 6 million Jews is a very exagerrated figure...Yad Vashem museum in Jerusalem lists some 3 million...it's all political...the politicians consider the numbers of dead as something to play with...they treat a person's life as a car dealer would a used car, or a junked car. The number of people killed under Communism varies from 20-60 million...after WWII, I believe in 1945-46, the Red Cross gave the total number of deaths at Aushwitz/Oswieciem to be 47,000...the Jews claimed 6 million were killed at Aushwitz alone, in gas chambers that never existed...it was all using the dead for propaganda purposes...the Soviets also, for political reasons, put forth exagerrated numbers of people killed in Nazi camps, to cover up the fact of their mass slaughter.

Another one from the Telegraph. In the obituaries section you will find the story of Leon Greenman, the only Englishman to be sent to Auschwitz. The obit tells some details of his life there.

German fascists, there please :) This is nothing still, gas chambers, here there, this is weak, once the diary is "fully restored" we're waiting for eyes removed, 3 times slaughtered, this is what we're looking for :)
