Iran says it never happened. Most of the Arab/Islamic Population says it’s a lie.
On Sunday night the State of Israel and Jews worldwide will commemorate the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis by marking the start of Holocaust Remembrance Day or also called Yom HaShoah יום השואה
How do you forget images of 6 million people, Jewish people who were murdered simply for being of the Jewish Faith?
Much like Hitler, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad has made it no secret that he wishes to “Wipe Israel off the map”. Israel is a Jewish State formed after World War 2 so that Jews would have a homeland to feel welcomed and safe in.
Alexander Kimel, a Shoah survivor wrote this prayer for the Six Million Jews who were killed.
Almighty God, remember the six million people that were gassed, killed, drowned, burned alive, tortured, beaten or frozen to death. For the sake of one man, a whole nation was crucified, while the world looked on in silence. In our hearts, their sacred memory will last forever and ever. Amen.
God of Our Fathers, let the ashes of the children incinerated in Auschwitz, the rivers of blood spilled at Babbi Yar or Majdanek, be a warning to mankind that hatred is destructive, violence is contagious, while man has an unlimited capacity to cruelty. Almighty God, fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah: “They shall beat their swords into ploughshares . . . nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” Amen.

Actually they were murdered for being of the Jewish "race". Which was defined as having at least 50% Jewish blood and of course has no basis in reality. Didn't matter whether they were practicing Jews or had converted to another religion.
Probably also worth noting the millions of Gypsies and Homosexuals too.
...and Catholics, and the disabled, and any other persons who offended Hitler’s sensibilities.
Jews are not a race. Jews are a people of faith. I converted to Judasism 5 yrs ago and was raised in a catholic family.
Customs, traditions, beliefs, values and DNA testing suggests otherwise.
Did you not read my second sentence?
Muslims do not recognize any of the Christian holocausts either.
Actually Christian persecutions are going on as we speak and have been all through the 20th century.
I never see anything in the MSM abou it..do you?
There are many remembrance ceremonies being held around the nation.
