ETERNAL TORMENT IS FALSE TEACHING WHAT SAY YE'?

Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.

I don't think this indicates that their torment will be forever and ever, rather the smoke is the testimony that they were judged, and that judgement will stand forever and ever.

After the holocaust those who committed this crime were judged. If you view the judgement on the guilty to be "smoke", the testimony of them being burned, then that smoke will be forever and ever. We have seen that. The criminals were judged, killed and died.

But 70 years later we are continually revisiting that judgement. That smoke rises to God as a testimony of righteous judgement.

So no, I don't think this verse teaches eternal torment, rather it teaches the value of righteous judgement for eternity.

I think they have confused a Living Memorial with Eternal Torment.
