CORRECTION: The tortured commander of Auschwitz was Rudolf Höss. Not Rudolph Hess. The appropriate term is Holocaust "revisionist". The Holocaust did take place though revisionists know nobody died in a gas chamber and nothing near six million Jews were killed. "How could anyone deny the Holocaust? It seems like something only the most paranoid, soft minded, bigoted people would deny. Lets look at what happened and how we know what happened so we have something objective to silence the deniers with. Hitlers fascist Nazi regime takes power in 1933. He strips the rights of Jews, Gypsies, anyone apposing him, and anyone deemed a degenerate, and puts them in forced labor camps. Hitler’s empire expands and World War Two breaks out in 1939. Hitler implements a ‘final solution’ in 1942 killing six million Jews mostly in gas chambers until 1944. How do we know there were gas chambers? Testimony of Nazis. This Nazi testimony falls into three categories. Those who might have incentive to lie because they were tortured and had their family members threatened. Those who also might have had incentive to lie because they were given careers in the Ally’s countries like the 800 Nazis that came to live in America. And the third category those Nazis who said they had no knowledge of any gas chambers or millions of prisoners killed. Höss ran Auschwitz and he confessed to killing 3 million people in his camp but this number was revised to only 1.1 million deaths 45 years later. So you can see Nazi testimony has had problems with being consistent so it’s not completely trustworthy. But we also have the testimony of the prisoners. The BBC was broadcasting rumors of gas chambers in 1942 so it was talked about among the prisoners. The majority of camp survivor’s stories are third hand and are not what you would call eye witness accounts of gassing. Dario Gabbai was a Jewish Auschwitz prisoner who claims he was forced to drag bodies out of a gas chamber and cremate them but he claimed he burned 4 bodies in each crematoria and that it only took 30 minutes but it takes an hour per every 100 pounds of corpse you are burning, and 4 people wouldn’t be able to fit into one of these. Overloading one of these with 4 bodies would cool down the temperature of the crematoria as well. So the prisoner and Nazi testimony isn’t very reliable or objective so lets look at some other witnesses to put an end to this denial. There must have been some third parties around that documented something. The Red Cross was in some of the camps but they didn’t report and gas chambers or mass killings. "Ok but the allies were spying on the Germans so they must have documented the gas chambers and millions of innocents slaughtered." In 1942 the British were listening to all Nazi communications because the the Nazi’s codes were cracked. The prime minister of England said cracking these codes is what won them the war so you can safely assume the Nazis didn’t know they were being listened to. So we finally have an objective way of verifying whether there were any gas chambers or six million killed. Martin Heidegger Being and Time. The English overheard the Nazis running the camps reporting deaths to Nazis outside the camp's fences. Number of deaths from disease, number of dead by hanging, and number of dead caused by shooting. The shooting and hanging deaths reported were very low and there was never a mention of gas chambers. In fact the head of British Intelligence sent a memo in 1943 basically saying the stories of mass executions in gas chambers was a "grotesque lie”. Ok. You’re probably saying "It doesn’t matter if the witness testimony is weak and full of contradictions. It was a war and humans are prone to error. We HAVE the gas chambers for god’s sake!." Yes you can visit many of the camps today and they will show you the gas chambers but when you look at them you end up with more questions than answers. Many of the gassing rooms have doors with no locks, that open from both sides and the doors swing INTO the chambers. You can imagine the problems this would cause by the pile of dead bodies crowded at the door.
