They claim human skin was used for lampshades. Skin is not like leather. You could not make a lampshade out of human skin. Quit with the nonsense. The Jews made this claim, but only produced one lampshade and it was goat skin. That lie was recanted years ago along with the human soap. In other words they have admitted they lied about the lampshades and soap and it is time to say, you lied about the lampshades and soap and now want to keep talking about them. You lied and admitted you lied. Enough! Time to shut up about it, because when someone mentions these lies you want to jump up and down and silence them. You lied about them and you lied about everything else. * * * LINK TO COLUMN: [Did the Nazis make lampshades out of human skin? - The Straight Dope](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2511/did-the-nazis-make-lampshades-out-of-human-skin) ---
