    Dear tarka the duck.

    ALL you have produced is written evidence that can easily be faked. Confessions were extracted from Nazis under torture after the war. If you had bothered to watch the video I posted earlier instead of ignoring it you would understand it was ALREADY explained. It is easy to produce a piece of paper in 1946 and re-date it 1943 with a false signature under torture. Rudolf Höss "wrote" entire book after the war while detained by the allies which was most certainly fake.

    I am a visual thinker. I use my WHOLE brain not just the right side that sees only the written word as a some type of gospel. I want physical evidence.


    Where is the physical evidence that gas chambers were used to exterminate millions of Jews. The physical evidence actually contradicts the written accounts.

    Where are the fingernail marks? Lack of fingernail marks on the walls is evidence nobody died in those rooms.

    You never explained how gas chambers cause bodies to shrivel up as the historical pictures show. If a person is gassed they do NOT shrivel up. The emaciation of the bodies is a tell tale symptom of typhoid.

    This debate is for people who have OPENED their 3rd eyes. If you have not opened your third eye then nothing I produce will be of value to you.



    Fred A. Leuchter is America's leading specialist on the design and fabrication of execution equipment, including homicidal gas chambers. In 1988, Leuchter scraped samples from the alleged gas chamber walls in Auschwitz, Birkenau and Lublin. Cyanide residue would be clearly evident on all these walls if gassings did occur. To his astonishment, Leuchter found no significant cyanide traces in any one of these rooms.

    In 1991, the Polish government repeated these tests to disprove Leuchter's findings, but they as well found no evidence of any gassings ever occurring.

    These rooms have ordinary doors and windows which are not hermetically sealed. There are large gaps between the floors and doors. If the Germans had attempted to gas anyone in these rooms, they would have died themselves, as the gas would have leaked and contaminated the entire area. Also, no equipment exists to exhaust the air-gas mixture from these buildings. Nothing was made to introduce or distribute the gas throughout the chambers. There are no provisions to prevent condensation of gas on the walls, floors or ceilings. No exhaust stacks have ever existed. Not one body has ever been autopsied and found to have died of gas poisoning.



    Supposedly over 1 million people (3 million according to Rudolf Hoss) were killed in a facility that was only surrounded by a fence that couldn't pen in a chicken. The barracks had windows without bars! What kind of prison holds a million detainees without bars. You can see just how flimsy the fence is in this photo of the children who survived. Someone who wanted to escape could do so in seconds.







    The fence work at Belsen was even more of a joke.



    There were swimming pools at Auschwitz.



    Another liar exposed.



    The history books are wrong. You have been sold con job of war propaganda of the highest order.

    Hello Aianawa

    I don't know where you're from, but in the UK, it’s well known that Churchill held the Edwardian/Victorian paternalistic view
    of the world that was common here at that time. He believed that there were racial hierarchies - along with the majority of the people
    of his 'class' - and his ideas send shivers down the spines of most us modern-day readers.

    But regardless of his views, there has never been state-sponsored eugenics programme in the UK. Despite the fact that Churchill thought the
    white Protestants were at the top of the pile, he did not - unlike Adolf Hitler - consider everyone else to be subhuman,
    and worthy of extinction. He did not - unlike Adolf Hitler - implement a systematic, industrialised extermination
    programme of those he deemed to be unworthy of life.

    @ Novusod

    I appreciate that your opinions make sense to you. That doesn’t make them either true or valid.

    I understand when you say you’re a visual learner. The person I love most in the world - my husband of 39 years -
    is an artist, so I have an understanding that way of being.

    But this is a discussion about a subject that requires a massive amount of study and analysis in order
    to form a reasonable and valid argument. History is a narrative, and is all about relationships and context -
    it’s not a random mix of unrelated events.

    It’s not about image macros and poster memes - those pictures that paint a thousand lies.
    It’s not about distortion, rumours and propaganda spread on social media, 4Chan, reddit, internet chat rooms…
    It’s about trying to uncover and understand the whole range of perspectives, based on facts and primary/secondary sources of evidence.

    I apologise in advance for the length of my upcoming posts, but as you persist in covering several topics in a random manner
    in each of your posts, I feel compelled to reply at length.

    If you are serious about the importance of open debate about the Holocaust, I’d like to suggest that you stick to one topic per post
    so that we can actually investigate in depth. That’s how debate works.

    Fakes and forgeries exist. False testimony exists.
    Neither of these disproves any of the events of the Holocaust.


    The formidable Deborah Lipstadt makes an important point about these allegedly forged documents:

    “Deniers claim that forgers created these and other documents — complete with complex internal reference markings, on typewriters that perfectly matched those used by the various German units said to have written the documents — and then planted thousands of these perfect forgeries in numerous different archival collections (in exactly the right file and in precisely the right sequence) all over Europe. Not only is such a scenario fantastically improbable, it fails to explain why these supposedly incredibly talented forgers did not succeed in producing the one piece of paper that deniers demand as 'proof' that genocide took place under the Third Reich — an order from Hitler authorising the destruction of the Jews".



    Were the 30 million documents in the archives at Bad Arolsen also faked?
    Who did all this forgery?
    When did they do it?
    Where did they do it?

    To suggest such an idea shows that you clearly have no understanding of the sheer volume of written documentation that is available.

    Here is a record of documentation relating to the carrying out of mass extermination - just from Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau:
    I’m obviously not posting this for you to read - I’m trying to give you an idea of the size of the task you are facing

    I found this on Minds.com and had never saw this data before. I like data because it is left for someone else to interpret it. Not to mention, a world almanac entry should be easy to cross-check for anyone who has the energy to do so.
    Posted only because it does seem to be at odds with some claims. I do not post it to make any point at all.

    According to the World Almanac the world population of Jews increased from 15,315,000 to 15,753,000 between 1933 and 1948.

    You claim he was tortured: Why didn't he then go on to write about subsequent beatings/torture?
    Could it be that his memoirs were written voluntarily?

    Do you understand that Hoss's memoirs and testimony are not unique?
    There are dozens and dozens of accounts, diaries, reports, affidavits etc that corroborate his words. Here's just one example:

    SS commandant Dr Johann Paul Kremer was a doctor at Auschwitz from August 1942: he was involved in the medical experiments.
    In his diary, he describes the gassing process.

    Here is a translation of the whole diary
    https://www-tc.pbs.org/auschwitz/lea...reading2.3.pdf

    On 18th*July*1947, in*Cracow, he said:

    “Particularly unpleasant was the gassing of the emaciated women from the women's camp,
    who were generally known as 'Muslims'. I remember I once took part in the gassing
    of one of these groups of women.
    I cannot say how big the group was. When I got close to the bunker [I saw] them sitting on the ground.
    They were still clothed. As they were wearing worn-out camp clothing they were not left
    in the undressing hut but made to undress in the open air.
    I concluded from the behaviour of these women that they had no doubt what fate awaited them,
    as they begged and pleaded to the SS men to spare them their lives.
    However, they were herded into the gas chambers and gassed.”

    Have you been to any of the camps?
    That would be your starting point.
    You don’t get more physical than that.

    Perhaps the following is what you're looking for:

    1) Professor Jan Markiewicz, Director of the Institute of Forensic Research in Kraków, carried out an analysis of the levels
    of cyanide in the delousing chambers, the gas chambers and control areas within Auschwitz. His work is
    published here:

    “A Study of the Cyanide Compounds Content in the Walls of the Gas Chambers in the Former Auschwitz & Birkenau Concentration Camps"
    http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/orgs/p...euchter.report

    These are his final remarks in the report:
    “The present study shows that in spite of the passage of a considerable period of time (over 45 years)
    in the walls of the facilities which once were in contact with hydrogen cyanide the vestigial amounts
    of the combinations of this constituent of Zyklon B have been preserved.
    This is also true of the ruins of the former gas chambers.
    The cyanide compounds occur in the building materials only locally, in the places where the conditions
    arose for their formation and persistence for such a long time."

    2) Paperwork regarding the ordering and delivery of quantities of Zyklon B by the Nazis
    3) Architects plans and blueprints for the building of the crematoria
    4) Documentation showing the ordering and delivery of building materials for the crematoria (research the engineering firm, Topf & Sons)
    5) Sonderkommando diaries, confessions of guards and other eye witness testimony
    6) Photographs
    7) For much, much more physical evidence, read Jean-Claude Pressac: "Auschwitz. Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers. Beate Klarsfeld". 1989
    8) containers of Zyklon granules, abandoned clothing and footwear
    9) adjacent incineration chambers
    10) Nazi and survivor eyewitness testimonies

    No one has ever disputed that there were several causes of death in the Nazi camps: starvation, shooting, disease,
    suicide, beatings, torture, exhaustion … and gassing.


    You seem to have a problem with a wooden door.
    How do you know that that photo is actually a door to one of the seven gas chambers at Auschwitz?
    If it is, why shouldn’t it be made of wood?
    Can gas permeate wood?
    As long as it’s sealed, it doesn’t matter what the door is made of.


    If you prefer metal, here’s a picture of a metal door from a gas chamber in Majdanek.

    Fred A. Leuchter is America's leading specialist on the design and fabrication of execution equipment, including homicidal gas chambers. In 1988, Leuchter scraped samples from the alleged gas chamber walls in Auschwitz, Birkenau and Lublin. Cyanide residue would be clearly evident on all these walls if gassings did occur. To his astonishment, Leuchter found no significant cyanide traces in any one of these rooms.

    In 1991, the Polish government repeated these tests to disprove Leuchter's findings, but they as well found no evidence of any gassings ever occurring.

    These rooms have ordinary doors and windows which are not hermetically sealed. There are large gaps between the floors and doors. If the Germans had attempted to gas anyone in these rooms, they would have died themselves, as the gas would have leaked and contaminated the entire area. Also, no equipment exists to exhaust the air-gas mixture from these buildings. Nothing was made to introduce or distribute the gas throughout the chambers. There are no provisions to prevent condensation of gas on the walls, floors or ceilings. No exhaust stacks have ever existed. Not one body has ever been autopsied and found to have died of gas poisoning.
    The above is cut and pasted from biblebelievers, an extremist white supremacist church in Australia.

    Because, apparently, your research is only carried out on sites that espouse Holocaust denial, you don’t seem to realise
    that Leuchter as long been discredited.

    Leuchter is not an expert of anything: he has proven himself to be a liar and a fraud, and perjured himself in court (during the Zundel trial). .

    He admitted in court that he is not an engineer - despite having claimed to have been trained as one.
    He is not a chemist.
    He is not a forensic architect.
    He is not a toxicologist.
    He has no expertise in crematories.
    He made killing equipment for use in US prisons.
    He is therefore not capable of giving an opinion of any worth.

    I realise it’s not as exciting to plough through pages of words rather than be titillated by photo memes,
    but here is the transcript of Zundel’s trial. Leuchter’s testimony: the annihilation of his ‘research’ through cross
    examination starts on page 733.

    The photos you have presented here are deliberately misleading.

    Camps in Nazi Germany were surrounded by electrically-charged barbed-wire fences: the shock
    was sufficient to kill a human. Have you not seen the photos of bodies trapped on the wire:
    many prisoners committed suicide by throwing themselves on the wire.

    In addition there were guard towers equipped with machine guns and automatic rifles - but your photos
    are carefully cropped in order to avoid showing these.

    And then there were the guard dogs: Auschwitz had its own SS dog unit.

    Here are some photographs of the kind of fences that actually surrounded the camps.

    Yes, there’s a ‘pool’ at Auschwitz I. And?

    There was also:
    a brothel
    a cinema
    an orchestra
    a hospital (used to perform horrendous medical experiments on people, overseen by Mengele)
    a kindergarten (set up by Mengele to observe children)
    a theatre

    What is your point here?
    Are you honestly suggesting that the presence of a pool means that there was no plan of systematic murder?

    There is a film called “Swimming in Auschwitz”.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0956313/




    And BTW, to repeatedly state that typhoid was a major cause of death in the camps is, quite simply, wrong.
    It proves, yet again, that you really haven't done much research into this subject at all, and that your opinions
    are all based on false assertions and propaganda.

    Typhus epidemics killed hundreds of thousands of prisoners in the camps - and it's a completely different disease.
    To fail to understand that simple fact is to completely misconstrue the significance of the pesticide, Zyklon B, which was used
    both to decontaminate, and to murder people on an industrial scale.

    Thanks Modwiz. I was looking for a large version of that graphic. Note in the breakdown by country of Jewish population in 1933 Germany had 510,000 Jews NOT millions. Despite what tarka the duck says Almanacs generally don't lie even if there is some rounding. The margin of error is not off by millions.

    There is a trick though to create a statistical holocaust. It comes in the difference between full blooded Jews and those of partial Jewish ancestry. In 1970 Israel through legislation redefined what a Jew is. With the stroke of a pen millions of partial Jews disappeared. In 1933 if someone was even a quarter Jewish they would be considered a Jew. After 1970 if a person is not full blooded on their mother's side it doesn't count.

    Jewish historian Professor Sergio DellaPergola stated "if we add persons who state they are partly Jewish and non-Jews who have Jewish parents, an extended global aggregate population estimate of 17,236,850 is obtained.” (2014)

    This is what the global Jewish population looks like if the partial Jewish population is counted.

    I stated that the explanation was simple, not that there were lies involved.

    As you haven’t bothered to research the World Almanac Gambit, and for anyone else who may be reading this thread, here ya go:

    1) All stats between 1938 and 1949 were from 1939 estimates - here are the figures from the World Almanac:

    1941 — 15,748,091
    1944 — 15,192,089
    1947 — 15,688,259
    1948 — 15,688,259
    1949 — 11,266,600

    Nothing to do with population increase/decrease - only to with the lack of new data. Europe, in 1949, was in complete chaos.
    How exactly would a census have been carried out, with so many missing and misplaced people?

    A new estimate wasn’t available until 1949, so the figures, post-war, were based on the pre-war census of 1938. Simple.

    http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/people.../world-almanac

    2) The American Jewish Congress data backs this up: in 1948, it is explained that the stats are the same
    as those from 1939 (15,688,259).

    3) The Nazis themselves provided useful data: the minutes of the Wansee conference show that they
    estimated the population of Jews in the Soviet Union and Ukraine to be 8 million.

    4) Contrary to your claim, general reference books such as the Almanac are not usually considered to be reliable sources.
    You say, "The margin of error is not off by millions."

    Please note the population of Christians on the page posted by Modwiz:
    In 1933, it states there were 116,000,000 Christians.
    In 1948, it states there were 90,207,985 Christians.

    Where did those 26 millions allegedly missing Christians go?


    So, with a bit of research, it's clear that the World Almanac Gambit is yet another red herring.

    What is your point here?

    Who claims that there were millions of Jews in Germany, pre-war?

    You surely aren’t thinking that almost 6 million Jews couldn’t have been murdered because there were only
    half a million in Germany.

    Do you understand that the Nazis targeted Jews from all the surrounding countries?
    Poland, Slovakia, The Netherlands, the Baltic states, Romania, Belgium ........... .. .. .

    I'm sorry - I really can't understand what you're saying here, but as you are heading off topic, I won’t follow -
    and the issue of who is a Jew is far more complex than you or I can hope to understand...and using a phrase such as 'partial Jew'
    is very close to the Nazi term "Mischling" and steps into the realm of the Nuremberg Laws which they used to legally define who
    was or wasn't Jewish.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischling_Test



    But I have to smile when I look at the graph you posted: why do you think that line drops precipitously beginning in 1939?

    As a matter of interest, who added that red line?



    Looking forward to reading your response to the points I made in post 115.


    PS Oh, and please - if you’re thinking of posting the famous denialists’ memes of the Red Cross statistics or the Auschwitz plaque,
    do bear in mind that they are, yet again, false and easily disproven - and thus not worthy of anyone’s time.

    Novusod - why have you ignored me again?!
    Because my time is limited and I have other things to do. This is not a contest of who writes the most spam wins the debate. Lets see about clearing out some of this backlog.

    The formidable Deborah Lipstadt makes an important point about these allegedly forged documents:

    “Deniers claim that forgers created these and other documents — complete with complex internal reference markings, on typewriters that perfectly matched those used by the various German units said to have written the documents — and then planted thousands of these perfect forgeries in numerous different archival collections (in exactly the right file and in precisely the right sequence) all over Europe. Not only is such a scenario fantastically improbable, it fails to explain why these supposedly incredibly talented forgers did not succeed in producing the one piece of paper that deniers demand as 'proof' that genocide took place under the Third Reich — an order from Hitler authorising the destruction of the Jews".
    I have heard that the typewriters don't match the kind the Germans used and the documents were produced on new paper. Paper produced in the 1940s yellowed quickly so mismatches in color quickly identified the frauds.

    This is all hearsay because the Nazi archives are off limits to scholars and historians. We just have to trust our government. NOW I ask you why are the archives off limits to historians? That is a big red flag to me. Original documents are hidden away so no one can question them. How is that acceptable in a free and open society based on the free exchange of ideas. This is how fake history is made. I don't think you have been following the Atlantis survivors thread but this kind of thing is discussed extensively.

    Fake history follows a pattern:
    - There is obstruction through denial of access to historical evidence
    - They present a narrative that we are not allowed to question
    - Then they tell people they are not qualified to go against the narrative


    Tarka the duck
    But this is a discussion about a subject that requires a massive amount of study and analysis in order
    to form a reasonable and valid argument. History is a narrative, and is all about relationships and context -
    it’s not a random mix of unrelated events.
    If this subject requires "massive amount of study" as you put it then why are the Nazi archives not available for study? This really invalidates everything you said so far (about German Documents and records) in this thread. Until the Nazi archives are made available to independent historians it cannot be accepted as physical evidence.

    You are wrong about history being a narrative. Real life has no narrative. Narratives are for story books and fairy tales. That is what the holocaust is a "fairy tale," a story and nothing more.

    In the case of the Holocaust people have been thrown in jail over questioning the narrative.

    So in your opinion is torture a reliable method for obtaining evidence: YES or NO?

    I happen to believe that it is not. People will say or sign anything under torture just to make the torture stop. Anything obtained through torture is NOT credible evidence. Not only is this not evidence it reflects poorly on the character of the tortures. If someone is willing to use torture to manufacture evidence then who knows what these people are capable of. Use of torture actually discredits the case. It is a huge red flag.

    This is usually whitewashed from the history books for obvious reasons.
    The allies had to torture people to make them admit to the holocaust.

    BUT wait a minute.

    I thought the holocaust was an open and shut case with mountains of evidence to prove culpability. So this begs the question. Why did the allies torture confessions out the defeated Germans? Did they not have enough evidence at Nuremberg to get a conviction without the signed confessions. Sounds real shady to me.

    You claim he was tortured: Why didn't he then go on to write about subsequent beatings/torture?
    Could it be that his memoirs were written voluntarily?
    On Hoss's account "During the first interrogation they beat me to obtain evidence."
    Is that what you call voluntary?

    Tarka the Duck
    Do you understand that Hoss's memoirs and testimony are not unique?
    There are dozens and dozens of accounts, diaries, reports, affidavits etc that corroborate his words.
    Hoss's testimony is not unique. The Germans were routinely tortured by the allies after the war. The diaries and false confessions were all obtained through torture years after the subject dates.

    Here's just one example:

    SS commandant Dr Johann Paul Kremer was a doctor at Auschwitz from August 1942: he was involved in the medical experiments.
    In his diary, he describes the gassing process.

    Here is a translation of the whole diary
    https://www-tc.pbs.org/auschwitz/lea...reading2.3.pdf

    On 18th*July*1947, in*Cracow, he said:

    “Particularly unpleasant was the gassing of the emaciated women from the women's camp,
    who were generally known as 'Muslims'. I remember I once took part in the gassing
    of one of these groups of women.
    I cannot say how big the group was. When I got close to the bunker [I saw] them sitting on the ground.
    They were still clothed. As they were wearing worn-out camp clothing they were not left
    in the undressing hut but made to undress in the open air.
    I concluded from the behaviour of these women that they had no doubt what fate awaited them,
    as they begged and pleaded to the SS men to spare them their lives.
    However, they were herded into the gas chambers and gassed.”
    So commandant Dr Johann Paul Kremer made a confession under torture in 1947 based on what happened at his post at Auschwitz in 1942. Doesn't that seem a little suspicious to you? The dates don't match and it was obtained through torture. How ridiculous is this.

    This basically proves what I have been saying all along. This is NOT evidence. It is the opposite. It is evidence of a hoax. The allies tortured the defeated Germans to manufacture the false narrative of the holocaust. It is becoming clear.

    The one in denial here is not me. The more I look into this the more obvious it becomes. The holocaust is a hoax.

    Because my time is limited and I have other things to do.
    Tell me about it House, family, work, animals, garden, grand children ... But if you consider
    something to be important, you find the time. For me, this subject is not a game. When I encounter
    those who are trying to alter history, I have to challenge their disinformation in the name of the 11 million.
    It's a good way to spend my time.

    Here we have the crux of the matter. "I have heard ..." is synonymous with gossip, rumour, lies, innuendo, propaganda ...

That is a big red flag to me. Original documents are hidden away so no one can question them. How is that acceptable in a free and open society based on the free exchange of ideas. This is how fake history is made.
    Yet again, this is another false claim.
    I understand that you are neither a historian nor a scholar,
    but all the archives below are open to legitimate researchers.

    You want to go and view some original documents?

    Bearing in mind that they are written in German so I'm assuming that you won’t understand them, and that the staff will frown
    on you using your pocket forensic kit to verify their authenticity - although many will allow you to
    take photographs - you have lots of choices.

    How about the 30 million documents in Bad Arolsen?
    Here’s the page about visiting
    https://www.its-arolsen.org/en/resea...-its-archives/

    Or maybe the Weiner Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide in London?
    https://www.wienerlibrary.co.uk/Visit-Us

    Another London resource would be the National Archives
    http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/h...-20th-century/

    Perhaps the Berlin Document Centre in Berlin?
    They have 600,000 personal files about the members of the SS.
    And 500,000 files from the 'Main Department of Race and Settlement’,
    And 1.5 million Nazi party correspondences

    https://www.bundesarchiv.de/fachinfo.../index.html.de

    If you can’t make it to Europe, you have the microfilmed copies in the US Archive.
    https://www.archives.gov/research/ca...ed.html#center

    Or the Simon Wienenthal Centre Library and Archives.
    Or Yasd Vashem.
    Or USHMM.
    ...

    So as you can see, lots to choose from. Let us know how the research goes.

    I can't understand what you're saying here.

    Isn't a narrative is a series of interlinked, chronological events
    - whether fictional or factual - one leading to the next? Nothing in isolation. Cause and effect.

    Or do you really see history as a series of random, disconnected episodes without causes?

    As a matter of interest, can you clearly differentiate between fact and fiction?

    Got one!


    These laws have no bearing on the reality of the Holocaust.
    These laws are not putting an end to the publication of hate material in all its forms.
    These laws are not silencing you, here and now, are they?


    There is a warped sense of moral reasoning being shown here...

    While expressing concern for the grand total of 11 people who have actually been
    imprisoned, there is a callous dismissal of the suffering and murder of 11 million.

    While claiming that Nazi prisoners were tortured, there is a refusal to even acknowledge
    the pain inflicted on millions of children, elderly people, men and women labelled “Untermensch" -
    those the Nazis deemed to be subhuman.

    While complaining that one elderly lady (Haverbeck) is facing prison for repeated denial of the Holocaust,
    there is no mention of the hundreds of victims - mainly children - of Mengele’s terrifying 'medical' experiments.

    That is a twisted viewpoint.
