General Holocaust denial discussion Part III

Status
Not open for further replies.
If I recall correctly, depending on the historical scholarly research source looked at, the estimated number killed ranges from a low of 4.8 million to a high of 5.7 million.

IIRC, the earliest back-of-an-envelope lowball estimate came up with a figure of 5.5 million. Under those circumstances, rounding up to 6 is entirely legitimate. Later estimates would vary, naturally enough.

Thing is, I can't recall where this came up. John Toland's biography of Hitler?
 
Also check out nizkor.org at http://www.nizkor.org. They've accumulated and archived a lot of material, and have extensive resources on both the Holocaust and Holocaust denial.

Here's hoping your son realizes he's been fed a bunch of lies by the denialists, and learns a few things about conspiratorial thinking and skepticism.
 
We went through that whole "Hitler didn't order the Jews killed" line already and I shut that down.


One point of logic you may want to employ to forestall any Holocaust denial tendency in your son is this:

The country with the most to gain by demonstrating the Holocaust didn't happen is Germany. In which case, shouldn't German citizens and historians be the first to present evidence disproving the Holocaust? Their country would restore its reputation and remove a historical black mark against itself. So why then isn't that happening?


In one of the older Holocaust denial threads in the Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories section, poster Nick Terry did masterful work in demolishing the claims of Holocaust deniers, by citing many historical references, including works by German researchers and historians. It may be worth going through the older threads and searching for his posts. (Not sure if he's active here anymore.)

The thread's still active, actually, and Nick Terry himself is indeed still active - as well as at least one of our resident holocaust deniers.

See http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279600 for the latest clone of the thread (part III, in fact). A lot of the holocaust denialism is destroyed in those threads.
 
As for where the actual numbers come from, the Korherr Report and the Höfle Telegram are usually good places to start. The former details the overall dwindling number of jews in Europe (Soviet Union excluded), and the latter details the number of jews killed in the Aktion Reinhard camps in Poland in 1942.
 
The exact numbers can never be determined and don't really matter once you get above an arbitrary number. It's like asking, "How many people does one have to kill to be a serial killer?" We can argue how many people Luis Garavito killed (somewhere from 140-300+), but no matter what number we argue, he's still a serial killer. This is something that Holocaust deniers willfully and knowingly ignore.

Evidence supporting # of Jews killed

I'd recommend Robert Jay Lifton's "The Nazi Doctors". He goes into excruciating detail of the selection process from the point of view of the doctors and medical staff carrying it out.

Does it cover the record keeping?

I think I've read that. Check my Kindle books.

ETA: no, it was "Doctors from Hell".

If you check my latest additions you'll see "Debunking Holocaust Deniers".
I haven't started it yet but I think it was free, as were several of my new additions.

Don't read that "Free" one about Auschwitz you mentioned to me, it's a friggin' advert for vitamins.
 
Guido Knopp = censored Truth

Guido Knopp is the "house historian" of ZDF, the second German public TV channel, and has made a string of documentaries, and accompanying books, on the Third Reich.

Guido Knopp is behind ALL 20 History TV documentaries with the highest audience in Germany, either as Director, Producer, Writer or Production Manager.

Beginning with his job at German State Television that allowed Guido Knopp access to historical footage that was unpublished all the way to the end times constellation that made possible for him to continue his work for over 10 years, the result was documentaries that:

- included archived footage that was kept secret until then, and often was never included again in other films after.

- are essential to understand the true story of World War I, World War II, the Holocaust of the Jews, how nuclear holocaust was postponed and the beginning of World War III.

In other words: his documentaries are key pieces in the picture that surfaces from the End Times puzzle.
 
Note: never broadcasted again, after the premiere in 2000.


Lots of things are never rebroadcast. Especially documentaries.
The book's still there, as is the documentary.
Or are we talking about something different?

I will check your list, and really? Vitamins? How'd they play that angle?
 
Questions for Holocaust deniers

I have several questions for Holocaust deniers:

1. We have records showing around 800,000 Jews were shipped to Treblinka from around central Europe. There are no records of even 50,000 Jews being shipped out of Treblinka.

So where did the Jews go?

2. We know there were between 2.8 and 3.3 million Jews in Poland in 1938. We know after WW2, there were maybe 300,000 left. We know that at most, only around 250,000 fled east into the USSR.

So where are the missing Jews?

3. Based on preWW2 and postWW2 census data, millions of Jews are missing from Europe. We know they didn't go to Israel, the USA, Canada, etc, as we have exact migration figures for those nations and the numbers just don't add up.

So where are the missing millions?

These are direct questions and I expect direct answers with logical or rational theories that can be supported by actual documented evidence.
