I have *seen* the footage of Jews being brought together at railway stations and put on trains bound for places like Auschwitz. I have seen the footage of those deportations and the reports of what happened to those people once they arrived in the concentration camps. So, how exactly am I wrong? There were no deportations? There were deportations but not by train? The Jews were not forced to go but went voluntarily? For clarity, I must point out that while you make a distinction between concentration camps and death camps, over here *both* types are usually referred to as "concentration camps". > which brings unconnected question - what *do* you do in your country > at 9-May?

No, I was referring to Gautam seemingly denying that deportations actually took place.
