Persuasive Essay

The president of Iraq, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that the Holocaust didn’t happen, he’s wrong. There’s a lot of proof that said that it had happened. He declared that the Jews just wanted to be felt sorry for and with the purpose of what they said about the Holocaust was just a myth. In this essay I will tell you facts that said the Holocaust had happened.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wanted to wipe Israel off the map and move it somewhere else because there was no reason for it to exist. Ahmadinejad suggested that it to be moved to Europe, United States, Alaska, or Canada. The United States, Israel, and European Commission had condemned his suggestion. Ahmadinejad had doubted that the killing of Jews were by Nazis during World War II. He requested Europe, U.S., Alaska, and Canada to give a piece of land to Israel.
Well, how does he know that it’s a myth or not? Why does Ahmadinejad deny what had happened to the Jews in World War Two? He says that the Jews made a myth that they were massacred and placed that above God, religions and prophets. I am saying that the Holocaust happened. In the books Parallel Journeys, The Dairy of Anne Frank, Stay Alive, The Hiding place, The Power of One, Night, and many more books tells us that the Holocaust happened. In the book Parallel Journey there is a Jewish woman and a German man Alfons Heck, a German, used to be an ardent member of the Hitler Youth. Helen Waterford was Jewish woman who was one of the many Jews that were part of the Holocaust. Both of them confessed what happened in World War Two and what happened after the discrimination happened. If he doesn’t believe this he could just go ask Alfons Heck, the man who was a part of the Hitler Youth when he was just a boy.
The web page www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/phistories/ tells us testimonies that say that the Holocaust happened. In that website there are a lot of people that had said what had happened to them when they were at concentration camp. Those are true stories that they told. Some of them tell stories of other people but most of the stories are about the person who told it. There are also pictures in www.ushmm.org. There are pictures of SS officers.
There is a timeline from 1933 to 1961 explaining what had happened while Hitler was ruling Nazi Germany in the web page http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/timeline.html. There’s a lot of websites and books that prove that the Holocaust happened. Such things can happen even if it is unbelievable. He may think that the Holocaust is a myth, but there’s a lot of proof that say that it had happened.
