They were allies, Bill. In the words of Lennon & McCartney; "Everybody's got something to hide, except for me and my monkey."
Elements of the U.S. financed Hitler, including the construction of the camps and the railroads leading to them. The U.S. refused to take in tens of thousands of Jews who wanted to flee Europe.
The International Red Cross had complete access to inspect the camps and reported nothing of gas chambers and crematoriums. Were they in on it too?
OF course we had internment camps. There was one here in the U.P., for German POWs. We also put our own citizens in them. What does that have to do with the planned mass extermination of millions of people by the Nazis? You say you're not a Holocaust denier, yet you agreed with that banned idiot's screeds.

I get it. You are resentful of Jewish people .
You are going to have to research that on your own , because I only speak for myself .
You might as well ask what Egyptian history and cultural artifacts are doing in American museums.Is America reserved only for history , culture , art that happened within our borders ?
The holocaust was a watershed moment in world history, one that should be memorialized for posterity. For people everywhere .
There is also a memorial in DC to the victims of communism , but I don't hear holocaust deniers complaining about it.

Learn some real history for a change. Mengele was one of those who waited for the trains full of Jews to arrive, and then he decided who would live and who would be gassed. If you had a brain you'd know that's why he was called the "angel of death." It wasn't just because he was on the losing side.

You are downplaying the horror of the Holocaust and trying to justify it by saying "the Allies did it, too." The allies did some horrible things. Internment camps, bombing Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki... but the Allies did not have a pre-war plan to systematically exterminate millions of people who they considered to be vermin. That was Hitler and the Final Solution, period.

I was surprised he does not believe it was millions.
From what I gather he believes that the USA/western allies, USSR, the Poles, Germans, all the Jews, Roma & Jehovah Witnesses & others that survived the death camps are all in cohorts, a hoax, lying about it.....

That was the least of what he did. He not only decided life vs death; he took the "lucky" winners and used them in horrendous medical experiments, like the twin studies

Yep. Our Japanese-American citizens kept in internment camps did not have a plush life, and many lost property and assets that they had worked their entire lives for, but at least they were not exterminated. Not that that excuses what we did, but it does compare favorably to the German experience.
