History is written by the victors...
No, history is written by historians. Serious historians try to be objective, but I agree, many do have their own agendas, on both sides of any argument. Napoleon famously said, "history is a set of lies, agreed upon" but in the modern age such uniform agreement is rare. It is the responsibility of the student of history to weave their way through the lies of both sides in order to find some element of truth. So far, I'm not convinced you have made a valid argument. Opinion is not evidence, and so far all you have presented is opinion.

No. History is written by the victors. In times past, and probably still in some countries, if you reveal a history that goes against what the government says, you are killed. Maybe tortured first. In this country, if you are paid well enough, you are unlikely to come up with a version of history that goes against the government agenda. If you do, you could very well find yourself unemployed.
Next, I have done nothing but make valid arguments. As for my opinion, scroll up a couple posts. You will see an old and new plaque. Tell me, are they my opinions, or are they plaques. Also, If you find anything I said to be untrue, let me know what it is.
Well it appears we will just have to agree to disagree on this point. History is revised with each new generation of historians and while it is quite true that new information can and does come to light which can contradict the current mainstream, more often than not, the basic events remain unchanged. Even in Stalin's Soviet Union, Academicians were allowed complete freedom to research whatever topics interested them. In the West, once you have academic "tenure" you can write whatever you like without fear of government sanction.
Whether 600,000 or 6,000,000 Jewish people were murdered by the Nazis is largely immaterial, the fact remains the Nazis set out to systematically remove and then eradicate human beings based on their religious beliefs in order to create a more pure society, a more pure "race". That in itself is an obscenity and a crime against humanity. Even if it happened by "the circumstances of war" existing in 1944-45, the Nazis bear the full share of responsibility.
Challenger,
I told you the reasons behind any lies either for or against the current version of the holocaust. When it comes to reasons to lie by saying that the holocaust happened as is generally believed, historians are as susceptable to those reasons as anybody else. Truth isn't as important as sustaining the status quo system that most intellectuals have invested so much into being a part of.
Next, history and politics often go hand in hand. In Stalin's Soviet Union, there was only one kind of politics. I doubt if any academics were allowed to examine any history that challenged that form of politics. And eved IF they did, I doubt very much that they would be allowed to speak of it.
Next, in the U.S. and elsewhere, professors have been fired for coming up with the wrong answer. It doesn't matter if you have tenure or not. For example, if Monsanto threatens to cut off millions of dollars in donations to some university due to findings that some scientist there came up with, you can bet your ass that the scientist would either be gone or shut up in some other way.
Next, what's the difference between six hundred thousand or six million? Five million, four hundred thousand. Also, have you ever heard of a Jew saying in relation to the holocaust, "Never again!" Would you prefer Jews seeking revenge and reparations for six hundred thousand dead or six million dead.
Also, I was watching part of one of those bullshit history shows a while ago. Though they showed something that I would bet wasn't bullshit. They were talking about and to some German Jews who sought revenge after WW II. They managed to poison some bread that was to be given to ex-SS soldiers who were being held prisoner of ex-war. But I don't think very many of them died. These Jewish revenge seekers also had a plan in the works to poison the water supply of some German cities. The plan was to actually murder 6 million Germans. But for whatever reason, they didn't go through with their plan. Of all the elderly Jewish revenge seekers they talked to, every single one of the filthy scum regretted that they didn't go through with their plan.
Also, according to "The Best Answer" in "Yahoo, answers," the Germany deported 60 to 70% of its Jews to Palestine under the Haavara agreement. Is that the kind of "systematically remove" you were referring to? Next, White people just happen to be superior. No doubt the Germans were more concerned with being White than they were in being of pure blood. Also, I will include the thread of someone else concerning White people. The title of it is, "Is the White species superior?" Tell me what you think of it.
