![]() | A number Only once have I ever seen a tattooed number on someone's arm. This was well over 20 years ago and I cannot remember his name. He lived in Southend on Sea, as I did then, grew up in Romania and he was next to me on a demonstration held to protest at a planned march in the town by a group of neo-Nazis. We didn't talk much about his experiences, but I remember seeing that his tattoo had the prefix "B". As far as I know, Auschwitz was the only place which tattooed numbers and the "B" stood for Birkenau. I used to see him around, as he was a member of the Labour Party, as I was then, but I never got to talk to him about his experiences. I don't even know if he would have talked. I lost contact when I moved to the Bristol area in 1984. Silly, I know, but just seeing this has left me with a deep feeling of personal connection to what happened ever since. Before then, it was somehow just more academic and less personal.

![]() | its incredible what you can read on these types of sites, they just ooze pure evil and hatred, i frequently wonder how some people can carry such beliefs, you often hear that jews have breainwashed us all for believing in the holocaust through controlled media and to me its plain to see that these people are the ones who have been brainwashed. does anyone know what parts of the holocaust they try and deny, is the whole thing. is it gas chambers, is it death squads, human experimentation or is it deathcamps? , do some believe that some of it did happen but the figures are exagerated?, it would be interesting to speak to to a denier who can discuss it intelligently instead of skin head thug with a swastika on his forehead.

![]() | They never truly discuss it. They endlessly repeat a few "standard" themes, most of which are summaried at this reliable site: http://www.nizkor.org/
