The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

No atrocities were ever committed by the Nazis. If you still think they were, then prove it.
Funny, that's exactly what Eisenhower addressed when he saw the concentration camps.
The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they [there] were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda'."
There's a couple other quotes in the same vein on the page [archives.gov] if you* want more.
*and if it were likely to do any good
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

There is a video out there, that addresses your concerns of concentration camp deaths and eisenhower's lies:
"Buchenwald a Dumb Dumb Portrayal of Evil"

The video is long, and you might want to clear your mind before starting. It could change your perception of history.
*and if it were likely to do any good
If the above video does not change your views, then the same can be said of you.
