General Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote:The same day I saw my first horror camp, I visited every nook and cranny. I felt it my duty to be in a position from then on to testify about these things in case there ever grew up at home the belief or assumption that the stories of Nazi brutality were just propaganda.

Visited, if you can call it that, Bergen-Belsen and Dachau in the mid-80s. Dachau was truly HAUNTING. Having lost a few great-aunts and great-uncles to the holocaust, I fail to understand how anyone can deny what happened.
Dachau, touched me enough that the best grade that I received on an English paper in collage was a paper on Dachau.
Bergen-Belsen was a memorial, Dachau was a genetic memory.

No Sir, that's not life, that's the greatest tragedy this world has ever known.
Six million people were annihilated for no other reason than simply being Jewish. To give you some perspective on the scale of this tragedy, try counting to the number six million, but before you start I should tell you that if you speak one number per second, for eight hours a day, five days a week it will take you around 47 weeks to get there. Just to be sure you should have Derring or Space check my math.
American, I don't mean to sound like I'm coming down on you man, but the tragedies of the past WILL be the tragedies of the future if we forget their significance.
