Too many people around who were in these terrible camps to even think about a lie about them never being there.
My Polish uncle was in one as a forced labourer and I have no reason to suggest he made it up.
I've met Jews who were in the camps. They were either the best actors in the world or it's true.
Personally, I believe the looks on their faces and my guts.
The holocaust memorial days were an eye opener. Interesting events because the local government would use them to promote understanding between all local groups.
This was before I converted to Islam but local Muslims attended.
The camps were there and millions were killed.
I totally agree that the camps were there and many inmates died of starvation, disease, and over work.
My main contention is:
1) The numbers of the deaths are extremely inflated.
Newer research is finding the previous numbers to be LOW.
2) There is zero forensic evidence for the gas chambers.
This is either false or simply unreasonable. There is certainly enough testimony - by those who had to remove the bodies, among others. And those who supplied the Zyklon-B, etc.
3) Putting people in prison for having contrary views about an historical event.
The US doesn't do that - nor are 'zionists' responsible for creating such laws elsewhere. And it's not 'having contrary views': it's 'whitewashing genocide'.
4) Not allowing scholars to objectively review the holocaust; as has been done with everything else in history.
Scholars have - numerous well-trained ones. Nobody is 'not allowing': they are simply insisting that such research be held to the already-established standards to ensure objectivity and accuracy.
