How many of you think the holocaust happened?

I just did a few days of in depth research into treblinka and have come to the conclusion that the official story is a fabrication and nowhere near 700k people died there. I'd say a few thousand at the absolute MAXIMUM. Wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if I come to the same conclusion regarding auschiwtz, solibor etc.

I just came at it from a historical angle, nothing to do with race hatred or hitler loving. I would reccomend you do some research for yourself. When it first dawned on me that this actually didn't happen it blew my fucking mind. I used o think the stormfags on /pol/ were fucking crazy saying it until I looked into it myself.

What about you guys? Do you believe the official story?

then I read the nuremburg trial manuscript relevant to treblinka
then I read the destruction of the european jews, where "a year in treblinka" is referenced at least 20 million times
then I read "treblinka: extermination or transit camp?"
and I watched some footage of a guy claiming to be a barber at treblinka

>eople got imprisoned for all kinds of shit, however there are a lot of fishy stuff that can't be verified and is still used as absolute proof.

yep. treblinka is supposed to contain the ashes of 700,000 (at least) human beings.

And yet, not a single excavation has been carried out since 1946.

Not a single one.

How can you accept the deaths of 700,000 people on literal hearsay evidence? Or a (literal) handful of eyewitness testimony?

That's what treblinka comes down to. Around 6 people claiming they saw it, including one confession exracted under torture.

700,000 people. Based on what 6 people have said. Given less than 20 minutes at Nuremburg. It's absurd.

Well, to be honest, the single fact discussing the topic freely is forbidden by law in my country makes me think something is just not right.

>>362756
Neither the Jewish religious leaders in Poland nor the authorities allowed archaeological excavations at the camp out of respect for the dead. Approval for a limited archaeological study was issued for the first time in 2010 to a British team from Staffordshire University using non-invasive technology and Lidar remote sensing. The soil resistance was analysed at the site with ground-penetrating radar.[214] Features that appeared to be structural were found, two of which were thought to be the remains of the gas chambers, and the study was allowed to continue.[215]

The archaeological team performing the search discovered three new mass graves. The remains were reinterred out of respect for the victims. At the second dig the findings included yellow tiles stamped with a pierced mullet star resembling a Star of David, and building foundations with a wall. The star was soon identified as the logo of Polish ceramics factory manufacturing floor tiles, founded by Jan Dziewulski and brothers Józef and Władysław Lange (Dziewulski i Lange - DL since 1886), nationalised and renamed under communism after the war.[216][217] As explained by forensic archaeologist Caroline Sturdy Colls, the new evidence was important because the second gas chambers built at Treblinka were housed in the only brick building in the camp; this provides the first physical evidence for their existence. In his memoir describing his stay in the camp, survivor Jankiel Wiernik says that the floor in the gas chambers (which he helped build) was made of similar tiles.[218] The discoveries became a subject of the 2014 documentary by the Smithsonian Channel.[219] More forensic work has been planned.[220]

this number you have is based on an encrypted telegram found in the 2000's which has typos

one, it could be faked
two, it could have wrong information - which is not a wild theory seeing as though there are mistakes WITHIN the telegam itself (telegram says 70k people went through there)

When you add the numbers together with an extra 5 it makes perfect sense.

It is about the same number as many previous estimates so it is highly reasonable.

>one, it could be faked

This is the epitome of Holocaust denial. All evidence points to it being false and any evidence to the contrary is fake. That is why you guys are not called revisionists, you are called deniers, because you do not revise history, you deny it, and deny all evidence, even if it overwhelming.

>two, it could have wrong information - which is not a wild theory seeing as though there are mistakes WITHIN the telegam itself (telegram says 70k people went through there)

The number is perfectly in line with previous estimates and the typo adds up when it is adjusted with an extra 5. Tapping the 5 twice instead of 3 times unknowingly could be a harder mistake to catch.

>three, BUT WHERE DID THEY GO, does not prove the death of 3/4 of a million people

Tell me, suddenly, 6 million Jews in Europe are no longer there. The global population of Jews suddenly immensely decreases over the course of 6 years. This is a completely unnatural demographic catastrophe. Can you provide any other reasonable explanation for this?

Doing research on Treblinka does not mean the 'Holocaust' either did or did not happen. The Holocaust was a wide ranging event covering much of Eastern Europe.

And where do you think it is from? Why do you think it was made? It wasn't just invented, it existed for a reason.

History isn't based necessarily on "smoking gun" evidence, it is based on conclusions drawn from numerous different facts which point to the same conclusion. Those letters all happen to stand for concentration camps previously known to be places where Jews were deported to and murdered, and the numbers are astonishingly similar to what has been estimated.

As well, the typo is irrelevant because it has been concluded that the person who made the transcript didn't realize the importance of it.

Jews died yes. But auschwitz was an industrial work zone. and was one of the largest. In order for Nazis to be defeated it had to be...bombed. It had forced laborers, many were jews. It was taken over by the Russians. Met some people who were in charge of setting the displays. It was a russian prison for quite a while as im told. Most of it was built using russian laborers from the gulags. I remember getting a little book explaining the symbolism behind every display.

ask yourself, why would germany use multiple execution methods? for what was basically their most important task?

This is the epitome of reality denial.

That is why you guys are not called historians, you're called faggots, because you do not research history, you repeat it, and deny all evidence, even if it is overwhelming.

>Tell me, suddenly, 6 million Jews in Europe are no longer there.
No, because they were never there. If you think census data in pre-war Eastern Europe is an exact science you need to do some reading.

And you know, the documentation, the massive dropping of the Jewish population, the stated goals of the Nazi party to eliminate the Jewish population of Europe. But sure, it's "only" eyewitness testimony.

Exactly why do you think say, the 1931 Polish census is inaccurate.

>As did the Russian, German, Polish populations. There was this war thing going on, as you may recall. Generally known to be completely unnatural demographic catastrophes.

Did 90% of the Polish population die? It seems rather odd to contrast that level of loss of Polish Jews and things like Hans Frank's journal, where he talks about how they need to get rid of the Jews and were going to deny them foodstuffs.

Funny because every single legitimate historian on the Holocaust has come to the conclusion that it is true and accept the Hofle Telegram as evidence, while deniers are not given any credibility whatsoever.

You are literally arguing that because there was a typo in a number that adds up when you add another 5 after two consecutive 5's, it has to be a lie.

The country with the largest death toll as a percentage of the population was Poland with 17% maximum. For Jews, the death toll was about 33% of the global Jewish population, and 66% of European Jews.

It doesn't. The difference is, there is overwhelming evidence for the Holocaust to the point where it is completely undeniable. It is like if someone denied the Spanish Civil War, they would be laughed at and given no credibility whatsoever, because they don't deserve any.

>>363026
It doesn't deserve to be looked at in such a way because now actual evidence besides denial of facts has been provided by anyone ever.

If someone said to you that the Spanish Civil War never happened, there is no reason to look at their argument critically either, because it is literally retarded.

Correct, and you are too.

>>363033
>It can easily be derived from estimations and logic. All those 4 letters are the first letters of concentration camps that have the generally accepted death toll of each next to them.

And you're a guy sitting in an office in 1942. You decrypt Enigma transmissions for the war. You probably don't even know there is a holocaust going on, and if you do, it's another jump to get that these are 4 camps instrumental in it and that the numbers being referred to are arrivals of people to be executed and not something else. You certainly wouldn't be looking for it to corroborate with any post-war estimations about the death totals in said camps, because you know, that hasn't been developed yet.

Your first priority is of course, to look for military transmissions. It's not to or from any frontline army units, so it's probably not one of those.

It's not high on your priority list, so you don't give it that much attention. You make a careless error in writing it down, and you probably forget about it by the next day.

>>363038

I don't see a citation there. Tell me, have you ever read Hans Frank's journals? Show me some evidence he was tortured into writing or at least affirming them; they alone provide pretty damning evidence if you accept their reality.

Because you think looking at a few things, deciding they are not true, and declaring the Holocaust false despite survivors still living today and overwhelming evidence by a huge amount of peer-reviewed historians.

>>363041
You can't go to prison for Holocaust denial in the vast majority of countries.

They are not revisionists, they are denialists. They do not deserve an equal weighting because they are retarded. If someone claimed that World War II never happened they wouldn't be given an equal weighting either because that is also retarded. All Holocaust denial is thinly-veiled and often not veiled at all antisemitism.

Google the "balance fallacy", which assumes that all sides of an issue should be given equal weighting, even if one side is so incorrect that there is not a single legitimate argument that could possibly be used to justify their position.
>>
>>363034
Because you said 'How many you think the Holocaust happened?', then proceeded to say you'd read about Treblinka for a couple days, and generally make an ignorant ass of yourself throughout the thread.

Discussing Treblinka is perfectly valid, even being skeptical about it, but being skeptical about what occurred at one camp does not mean a wide ranging event didn't happen.

And there it is, in a nutshell. The massive Jewish death rate during the period can be attributed to them being a hated minority in a time where life was very dear.

Actually, if you had bothered to read Mr Frank's stuff, you'd know that the denial of foodstuffs was in his estimation, the fastest way to eliminate the population; it wasn't a cost saving measure, or turning a blind eye to mob violence, it was just the simplest, most practical way of eliminating the Jews.

Revisionists will ask how I can believe Berg after her claim about seeing them make soap out of human bodies. My answer is twofold: (1) we do not accept eyewitness accounts by themselves as proof of the Holocaust or gas chamber story, without corroboration from other eyewitnesses as well as physical evidence; (2) in this particular case, Berg was enraged at Bradley Smith for denying what she knows happened to her own family members and friends, and struck out at him with this statement when he also challenged the soap story. Despite the differences in specifics of accounts, there is a core of truth at their center, and the gassing and cremating of prisoners is one of the most important cores.

Anti-Muslim sentiments (and most Muslims are not semites) is Islamophobia, and I don't know why it was defined this way, or why "Semite" was chosen.

What do you mean? The term wasn't coined by a Jew, it was coined by an antisemite to describe his beliefs. It now has a negative connotation, and is used to describe hatred of Jews. I don't see the issue, or why this is even relevant.

Your claim is that 6 million Jews were purposefully murdered in a genocide.

Where are your proofs? Do you have proofs? I see no proofs.

The arguments made against the holocaust aren't that Jews were never interned or that none died while internee, but that the claims of how they were treated and how many died are grossly exaggerated for the sake of special interests (and that interest is an entire nation beig formed, that's pretty important to a lot of people and gives them a good reason to make up stories). There's plenty of proof that the claims are grossly exaggerated, for example no Jews were turned into soap and leather lampshades (who the fuck even uses leather for lampshades?). There are plenty of ways to research for yourself at your fingertips and come to your own unbiased conclusion, I'll try to get a thread going soon if you choose not to and remain wilfully ignorant.

I have never claimed this, historians have, based on eveidence. I have never conducted historical research in this field, other than reading their books.

>for example no Jews were turned into soap and leather lampshades
I never claimed other wise, and neither did any historian I ever read on the topic. Maybe you should start by pointing out which claim by which person you consider unbelieveable, and why.

Have you ever heard of "primary sources"? Secondary sources are suspect -- not because they're deceptive, but because they're less reliable.

Do yourself a favor -- seek out some primary sources. If you're not sure where to start, go back to your secondary sources and check the footnotes.

Otherwise your "research" is high-school tier and as far as whether or not it is shit: it is shit. Shorthand for "non-academic."

>did more jews die in the camps or did more jews die in the earlier stages when the einsatzgruppen was just going around shooting them?

Legit question. From what I understand, more died in the camps. Not to say that many didn't die during the earlier chaotic phases.

But the leadership saw the toll that the face-to-face executions were taking on the executioners: many of them had to get themselves drunk before they took on the Jew- (and other-) shootin' duties. After all, most were (sort of) normal people, albeit indoctrinated, and few were genuine psychopaths. So the earlier phases of shootings and dumping into mass graves was seen as damaging on the psyche of the German soldiers involved.

So the more sanitary methods of execution were developed partly to spare the German soldiers from the trauma of having to go on these killing sprees where they had at least minimal interaction with their victims. But more importantly the camps and the gas-exhaust vans were developed for the sake of efficiency and expediency.

>>after WWII, barely any jews live in Germany + Poland

I live in Krakow, Poland, and there is pretty much no Jewish presence. Prior to WWII (well, more exactly, prior to late-19th century), Poland was pretty much the go-to spot for Jews who Jews who had to deal with expulsions and other shit from other European countries. It was a safe haven for hundreds of years.

It's not exactly "scientific proof" of what you're saying, but prior to WWII, it was a very Jewish city. You can see old photographs from all over the city (not just the Jewish district) -- not only are there Jews all over the place, but I'd say the majority of shop windows showed Jewish names (offering items and services of all sorts, not just money-lending -- bakeries, bicycle repairs, laundries, etc...).

That all changed very with the German occupation. Now it's extremely rare to run into someone with a Jewish last name, much less see a Jewish-owned shop (outside of the old Jewish district, which has a handful of Jewish-themed restaurants and hotels... almost none owned or operated by Jews, of course).

Not according to orders issued by Himmler.

>There was actually a study on this in the British Journal of Industrial Medicine (Prattle, 47-55.) The researchers ran a few experiments in which various animals were exposed to diesel fumes, and studied the results.

>In the experiments, the exhaust of a small diesel engine (568 cc, 6 BHP) was connected to a chamber 10 cubic meters (340 cubic feet) in volume, and the animals were put inside it. In all cases, the animals died. Death was swifter when the intake of air to the engine was restricted, as this causes a large increase in the amount of carbon monoxide (CO) that is emitted. (See, for instance, Diesel Engine Reference Book, by Lilly, 1985, p. 18/8, where it is stated that at a high air/fuel ratio the concentration of CO is only a few parts per million but for lower ratios (25:1) the concentration of CO can rise up to 3,000 ppm. It is very easy to restrict the air intake - the British researchers did so by partially covering the air intake opening with a piece of metal.)

>Even in cases where the CO output was low, the animals still died from other toxic components - mainly, irritants and nitrogen dioxide.
>>
>>365178

>Now, the diesel engines used in Treblinka were much larger - they belonged to captured Soviet T-34 tanks. These tanks weighed 26-31 tons (depending on the model) and had a 500 BHP engine (compared to a mere 6 BHP in the British experiments). The volume of the extermination chambers in Treblinka is, of course, a factor. But the chambers' volume is about 60 cubic meters (2040 cubic feet); this is 6 times more than those in the British experiments, but the difference in the size of the engines is much larger than a factor of 6.

>It should be remembered that what matters in CO poisoning is not the concentration of CO, but the ratio of CO to oxygen. In a small, gas-tight room, crammed full of people, oxygen levels drop quickly, thus making death by CO poisoning faster. As noted, other toxic components in the fumes further accelerate mortality.

You literally have train reports from Treblinka
(Franciszek Ząbecki „Wspomnienia dawne i nowe”, Warszawa 1977), eyewitnesses (Memoirs of Warsaw Gettho Uprising leader, Marek Edelman: "We sent a friend of ours, Zygmunt, to see what really goes on with these transports. He rode with engine drivers from Gdańsk Station. In Sokołow they told him, that rails split, one goes to Treblinka, each day a train passes filled with people and comes back empty. Food is not supplied."), Höfle Telegram, censuses ("Of the grand total of 6 million citizens Poland lost during World War 2, 3 million were of Jewish ethnicity." (Zagłada Żydów (1939-1945), Julian Grzesik, Lublin 2011), as well as numerous works by Polish (country, which 30 000 Jews left due to Antisemitism) and Soviets (country wer Jews were deported to Birobidzhan)

Unlike most people, holocaust deniers really only care about the jews. Why is that? Your guess is as good as mine.

Where is the 4-5 eyewitness shit coming from?

They had 100s and 100s between the Treblinka trials, Eichmann's trial, Strangl's trial, the Nuremberg trials, etc.

They had 100s of testimonies from those not present or charged but associated with Treblinka.

OP, make sure you read "The Good Old Days: The Holocaust as Seen by Its Perpetrators and Bystanders" during your extensive, academic, exhaustive research.
>>
>>362688
There's a lot of sketchy shit Tbh. For example, all camps investigated by the allies turned out to be labor camps and the only death camps were ones investigated by the soviet union which is very suspicious. Due to the taboo nature of the subject nobody after the war went back to analyze the holocaust like we usually do with historical events thus a lot of shit is probably lost.
>>
>>365291

The labor camps predate the "Final Solution" of 1942. Death camps were built in Poland because it had the largest concentration of Jews. Why the fuck would you build a death camp in France or Austria just to ship those you're killing such a vast distance?

I mean fuck, are any of you deniers capable of thought? How do you manage to breathe?

The Holocaust has been revised numerous times.

The idea of Jew's bodies being made into soap and lampshade was proven false. The idea that 4 million and 3 million died at Auschwitz and Treblinka respectively was discredited. The debate still rages among academia of functionalism vs intentionalism.

The difference is that nobody with serious academic credentials disputes the Holocaust taking place, but they dispute certain aspects of it.

It would be completely reasonable to argue that less people died at Treblinka than previously thought if you can bring such evidence for it. Holocaust deniers do not do that, they just deny the whole event entirely.

It is like World War II. There are plenty of historians who dispute certain aspects and numbers associated with the war, but nobody disputes that World War II ever happened.

Ok they do not deny that there were camps, and that jews were brought to those camps, and that some of them just so happened to die at some point of the process. What they deny is that it was murder. They're basically saying that the nazos just watched the jews drop and thought, oh shit what happened there, seems like our camps aren't safe for jews for some reason, now let's get all the jews in europe into those.
>>
>>366951

I thought the usual stormfag argument was that they weren't really deadly, only when the Allies started bombing (nevermind that most bombing was in western Germany which didn't exactly ship food or medicine to Poland) is when Jews started dropping dead.
>>
>>366951

>What they deny is that it was murder.

If I abduct a person and keep that person in unsafe conditions and they die as a result it isn't murder its...well...its....its something else but it sure as hell isn't murder!

Rudolf Hoess' testimony at Nuremberg in 1946 is pretty damning with regards to Treblinka. He wasn't some random SS officer; he was the goddamn Commandant of Auschwitz.

He basically bragged that he did it better when it came to killing.

>Another improvement we made over Treblinka was that we built our gas chambers to accommodate 2,000 people at one time, whereas at Treblinka their 10 gas chambers only accommodated 200 people each.

As if that weren't enough, he bragged about it in his memoirs too.

op here, I don't know how to answer this, and if you actually look into the literature it's not as clear as you think

I think a lot moved during and after the war, i.e. emigration

also, after the war the way you could identify yourself changed, as in you could just tick your ethnicity on the census. so a lot of jews chose to assume different nationalities for various reasons
also, a lot died in the war/executed/died in camps (not gassed)

I think the biggest point though is that population decline is not proof of murder

take it on an individual level. lets say two surveys are done on your flat. first one shows 5 people living there, second one shows just you. is this proof you murdered all 4?

Legit question about where the numbers fall.

This guy:
>>364364
Pretty much details the process of how they went from shooting Jews inna woods, to having camps for this.

Immediately after the war the assumption was that it was mostly camps, because people can survive camps, you don't survive inna woods (one of the reasons the Germans switched to industrialized killing camps).

So if anyone died, it was widely assumed they went to some camp.

The tendency within historiagraphy has been an increasing emphasis on the Einsatzgruppen, and increasingly, the Heer. 60 years later, it's pretty clear that the the German Army was deeply involved in the holocaust.
>>
>>365277
We have hundreds of eyewitness for the internal workings of an obscure police battalion from Hannover's involvement in the Holocaust.

Eyewitnesses are everywhere, and it's amazing how candid they can be.

>Due to the taboo nature of the subject nobody after the war went back to analyze the holocaust like we usually do with historical events

>but the way the german military is structured confuses me a bit.
This means you have a normal functioning brain, unlike the Germans.

>i understand the standard wehrmacht/luftwaffe/kriegsmarine, but where and how does the SS fit into it?
OK, first you have to understand the Party/State distinction. The NSDAP obviously predates Hitler's rise to power. The NSDAP had party organs under it including the SA, Hitlerjugend, party newspapers, psuedo-labor unions etc.

Those continued to be part of the party after they seized power.

At the same time, as much as they hated it, the Nazis maintained legal continuity with the Weimar Republic. The same constitution was in force, the same legal code, and all of the organs of the state, including the newly renamed Wehrmacht.

So, the short answer was that the SS was just a party organ. Originally it's purpose was just to be Hitler's bodyguard. That was it. It eventually spread to be effectively a state within a state that was the confusing mess of Nazi bureaucracy.

The Waffen-SS, or armed SS, starts off initially quite small: a group of volunteers in Poland. Eventually it grew into a massive independent army, fielding armored divisions.

There was a number of factors, including one that the SS was free to recruit in the occupied territories, the increasing radicalization of the Nazi State, etc.

But how it fit in...technically it didn't. It was a private institution, independent of the German state, that sometimes, but not always, gave operational control to the German Army.

>>
>>368371
>this all sounds like a cluster fuck, how did the ss and the wehrmact even coordinate with each other in battle?
Like a lot of German things, it's a clusterfuck by design. Because if you can have a clusterfuck, you can force someone else to intervene to sort out your clusterfuck (Eventually Hitler), and then it's a matter of who can kiss ass and pull favours more effectively.

This is how the size of the Waffen-SS managed to expand by several thousand percent in 6 years.

If for example, there's Tiger tanks produced, there is NO system in place that determines how many go to the Waffen-SS and how many go to the Army.

>I think a lot moved during and after the war, i.e. emigration
Except after counting up all the Jews around the world following the war there were nearly 6 million missing. Even today there aren't as many Jews as before the Holocaust.

>also, after the war the way you could identify yourself changed, as in you could just tick your ethnicity on the census. so a lot of jews chose to assume different nationalities for various reasons
also, a lot died in the war/executed/died in camps (not gassed)
People still identified as Jewish by religion.

>I think the biggest point though is that population decline is not proof of murder
When you are having a steady increase in population all around the world and then suddenly your population drops by a 1/3rd, it does.

>take it on an individual level. lets say two surveys are done on your flat. first one shows 5 people living there, second one shows just you. is this proof you murdered all 4?
This is beyond retarded. 5 people living in a flat is very different from 6 million people living across Europe.
