How did the piles of personal effects get at Auschwitz?

Dear AnswerMan, How did the museum at Auschwitz I amass tons of human hair, dentures, toothbrushes, artificial limbs, cans of Zycon(sic) gas and other tragic “momentos” of the camps? Pauline Friedman AnswerMan Replies: At the end of the war, and to this day piles of—what in any other context would be considered trash—has been presented…

How did the Holocaust affect our current view of Germany?

Dear AnswerMan, How did the holocaust affect the way people look at Germany today? Abigail AnswerMan Replies: Germany is frequently viewed from a perspective that includes images (mental or otherwise) of the Nazis and the Holocaust.

How could you advocate free speech to deny the Holocaust?

Dear AnswerMan, With Germany's historical record, how can you advocate free speech to deny the Holocaust? Isn't Germany merely preventing another Holocaust from happening?

Hit the Road Before It Hits You

“Think of the internet as a highway.” — There it is again. Some clueless fool talking about the “Information Superhighway.” They don't know didley about the Net. It's nothing like a superhighway.

Gas Chambers at Dachau?

Dear AnswerMan, I understand that it is now conceded by the Promoters that there were no homicidal gas chambers at Dachau although that information hasn't made it to all concerned. John Cardinal O'Connor of New York has recently spoken about “seeing” the gas chambers at Dachau, I'm sorry to say. I expect that he is…
