Zuckerberg in Holocaust denial row

Perhaps he's implying Facebook isn't real.

Okay, we know that the Holocaust is real. And I understand that some deny it so they can reignite it. But why do these fools deny it? That is a wonder?

I have two thoughts on this, first I had the unfortunate pleasure of visiting one of the concentration camps when I was a kid. My father was stationed in France (1958 - 1964) and on one of our summer vacations we visited one of the camps. I can vividly remember the smell and near the incinerator there were huge bins like coal bins that were filled with human bones, the first had skulls, the next had femurs etc. I was too young to understand what had happened there BUT it wasn't hard to tell it was something awful.

My second thought is this. Early in my career I was stationed to Hanau Germany. I lived on the economy and met a lot of German people. I was surprised to find that many of the people my age had no knowledge of what happened in either WWI or WWII. Having heard this from a lot of Germans during my 13 years of living in Germany I believe it to be true. That's not to say that the atrocities of WWI didn't happen, just that people of a certain age weren't taught that portion of history.
