Raul Hilberg is still universeally acknowledged as the standard, magisterial history of the Nazi holocaust. It's a groundbreaking, painstaking, and unsurpassable piece of scholarship.

After you read Hilberg, read Norman Finkelstein's book, The Holocaust Industry, which Hilberg vigorously praised. It's about the appropriation of the Nazi holocaust for profit and the manipulation of public opinion. Finkelstein and Hilberg were close friends.

This thread went to hell quick, but I was going to recommend Hannah Arendt's Eichmann book, which pissed off everyone who read it when it came out in the 60s. Good book, raises a lot of questions, author doesn't pretend to have all the answers. Draws heavily on Raul Hilberg's work, too, so you get some of that without having to wade through 1000 pages of Nazi legal documents.

They were obviously just clairvoyant. The NYT was reporting the holocaust before the war was over. Despite German code being broken relatively early the Allies never intercepted anything that would hint at a mass extermination happening. No absurd coke orders for their furnaces, etc. I don't think anyone disagrees that there was interring of undesirables in WW2, but the focus on Jews is so undeniably wrongfooted it's only natural to question it.

the problem with this indoctrinated rejection of the amorphous series of events referred to as "the Holocaust" is not that it is a universally defensible piece of 20th century human "canon" -- "how could it not have happened? my so-and-so was there! he saw the camps", "...the german orders of Zyklon specifically without irritant, explain this", "thousands of interviews, how could they all be making it up?"-- once specific historical events are so thoroughly agreed upon by the ruling class, so overtly pillaged by commercial interests as to create a cottage industry of fetishizing fact and fiction, so regularly dragged out in the political forum from the 6th grade classroom to the protest signs of quite literally every rally in the western hemisphere, that the deaths of millions of innocents is but a cudgel to be used by the survivors and future perpetrators of violence against mankind

It's really just a matter of logistics, there is no feasible way that Germany would be able to transport the supposed 6 million to the camps in the first place. Near the end of the war Germany's infrastructure was blown to shit, they were having trouble supply themselves by train let alone transporting thousands of Jews everyday from across Germany. Another thing to take into account is the fact that burning a single human body in an oven the size of the ones in Auschwitz would take 3 hours, making the 15,000 daily death toll (to hit the 2-3 million supposedly gassed at Auschwitz) impossible.

It was obviously a profound metaphor designed to parallel the slaughter of German youth in the Bf 109 during the final years of the war.

I mean, assuming Eva didn't let Hitler get any, the whole war was basically a giant relationship drama publicity stunt type thing wherein Hitler creates an entire societal atmosphere of warfare and machine fetishism, then kills himself, thus solidifying his place in history as the most sexually frustrated male of all time.

Most importantly, the Nazi military industrial complex also used the discovery of nuclear fission to bring attention to the Volkswagen, which is important because every vehicle designed since then has been retrogressive in the sense that they're actually making humanity stupider, because the car is now the basic unit of life on Earth. (This concept has been explored by Fahrenheit 451 et al.)

The whole thing about the Jews is really just a minor detail. What the Jews really wanted was some shared experience of suffering that wasn't getting their dicks chopped off, so that they could cross-associate it with getting their dicks chopped off. I don't know if six million of them actually died. It's not like you would have noticed the difference either way. Like, in the alternate future, where six million Japs didn't get sent to Pearl, it's not like you would have noticed more socially integrated Japs or whatever, so what's the big deal either way?

The allies knew that /something/ was happening, they just didn't particularly care. The Germans tried to ransom Jewish prisoners to the Western allies in return for war materials to use against the Soviets. Not surprisingly, this offer was rejected.

Kurt Gerstein was an SS officer involved in the camps, and also a Christian fanatic of sorts. He tried to tell officials in Sweden and the Vatican about the killings, but was ignored.

Many if not most of the victims weren't burned but simply dumped in mass graves. The furnaces were a relatively new development designed to conceal evidence.

The 6 million number is probably bullshit, and has been revised a bunch of times since the 1940s. I don't think "6 million" was ever the original number. Eichmann's estimate was 5.1 million, and he would know.

The Holocaust was not even a famous atrocity until the 1960s, most people were more angry and upset about the extermination of political prisoners and resistance fighters. Buchenwald used to be the most famous camp, not Auschwitz.

Well Jewish people do use the memory of the holocaust for political purposes, and they do tend to get angry and almost jealous if anyone tries to bring up another atrocity. I mean when was the last time there was a movie about the Armenian Genocide?

You do realize, of course, that it is possible to dislike Nazism and Communism simultaneously? And also that it is possible to acknowledge the reality of the Holocaust and the Stalinist purges (and the Cultural Revolution purges, etc.) simultaneously?

It's a classic tactic of both Commies and Nazis to call anyone of them disagreeing with them the other (that is, Nazis call their detractors Commies and vice versa) but this is obviously not true nor does it have any valuable implication for the factual debate over whether the Holocaust happened.

The poster you're replying to didn't say anything about the Commies at all and yet you jumped to the logical conclusion that he is a hypocrite since (in your own head) he excuses an entirely different set of mass murders. Even if all that were true, though, the argument that "a few million ain't so bad compared to a few tens of millions" is supremely weak sauce. Killing millions of the citizens of millions of Europe is bad because it's mass murder to support a political and social goal, regardless of the comparison to how many other murders happened otherwise. If someone were on trial for murder and they argued they should be let free because their mortal enemy killed 3 dudes they would get lauged out of court.

I'm going to regret this reply but here goes:

If you're referring to Holocaust denial laws, being a Nazi isn't a crime, denying the Holocaust is a crime and even that is in a limited cultural context.

If you mean instead that there is a cultural debit that comes with being a Nazi (unlike a Communist) then that is partially true. Communism is somewhat more accepted than Nazism in polite company but this is partially for good reasons. There are plenty of Commies (definitely not all, mind you) that don't approve of Stalin and/or the purges, whereas it's hard to come by a Nazi who hasn't gone "full Nazi". That is they approve of Hitler, the Holocaust (and/or deny it), etc. It's harder to dabble in Nazism than it is to dabble in Communism. Additionally there have been many Communist governments in history, not all of which have been as bad as the USSR and the days of the Cultural Revolution. If you say you're a Commie there's a reasonable chance you like one of these other models whereas if you say you're a Nazi there's really only one government you can point to as an ideal. I definitely think that Communism is given too much of a pass in some circles but that doesn't imply that Nazis should get some sort of slack in return.

Just for the record, I think the decision to make Holocaust denial criminal was dumb on the part of Europe's leadership. It didn't do much to stop the denialism (this thread being a reasonable example) and just provided a cudgel for people to say "See how insecure they are? It must have been a hoax!"

>> No.9400688

look, completely non-biased view of the holocaust as I see it being Australian and not up to date on the latest propaganda.

>6 million jews died in extermination camps run by nazis, accounted for by witnesses, pictures, and post-war accounts.

ok, lets look at this, evidence works by proving something happened or evidence can debunk a proposition. you can't have "evidence that something didn't happen" because it didn't happen, there's no evidence.

these are my literal questions about the holocaust which I haven't been able to find proper answers for.

>nazis were losing a war, why expend that extra resources
weak question, if they were so "ideologically inclined" towards killing the jews then sure. I find it a bit hard to believe that hitler convinced EVERYONE in germany to mass kill innocents in the name of ideology, but then again to see SJWs nowadays..

>eye-witness accounts have turned around and said that they've falsified the accounts to get handouts.
interesting, but why would people say "I lied about the whole thing" - what benefit is there to admit to lying about the holocaust? compared to actually getting re-imbursed

>photos have been proven to be altered by overlaying some dead bodies over original images
again, interesting. you can't "un-make" a photo, or overlay something that fits in with the original picture, especially in the 1940s. so why do these pictures exsist to begin with?

The number "6 million" is a real fucking moot point and only frogposters or idiots bring it up.

so the issue is between:
>the holocaust happened, and some people have tried to denounce it by gas-lighting and othersuch - but why?
>the holocaust didn't happen and a great number of people falsified the whole thing - but why?

either of these questions: why?

now, In my limited view, this has been the only part of history that is "solved, case closed" - as in - historians have agreed that it did indeed happen and have "shut the case" so to speak. - this is another "why" as when people start admitting to false evidence, doesn't that naturally re-open the case?

it's like if the archaeologists who found pharoh's tombs just admitted that it was a ruse, wouldn't that re-open the case to find out what actually was found if anything?

to me, the holocaust has more questions than answers, which is why it's curious that it's illegal to question in the country that it happened in

I fully agree with you that the so-called "reductio ad Hitlerum" is a problem in modern discourse. It's a lot easier to call someone a Nazi than to engage with them on an intellectual level.

That being said, my comment before was talking about either self-proclaimed Nazis or Commies, who shouldn't be concerned with their views being "reduced" to "full Nazism", etc. At this point we have gotten pretty far afield of OP's original question.

The holohoax claims raised my curiosity because it sounded plausible, until I researched the actual facts. Read for yourself, the actual facts are freely available on the internet,there is plenty of actual evidence. Many of the holohoax claims are clearly based on lies and very apparent, it’s a typical conspiracy scenario that doesn’t hold up because of the actual size of the deception required. I approached this with a completely open mind and not assuming one side or the other was correct. Hitler stated his intention for the annihilation of the Jews on 12th December 1941, it’s a matter of record and one day after he declared war on America. Rudolf Hoss wrote his memoirs about all of the atrocities he carried out at Auschwitz, during his running of the camp. He gave a detailed testimony at Nuremburg that bore out everything revealed in his memoirs. The detail, here, is beyond dispute because no one could realistically attain these levels, the holohoax claims come nowhere near, with far less and vague claims based on Chinese whispers. Why would someone, about to be executed, make such an effort, where is the purpose? I have no doubt, after reading so much on the subject, as to the complete authenticity of the Holocaust. There is simply too much to be explained away as a hoax. As for the illegality in claiming “hoax” in public, I understand why, it’s clearly anti-semitism and actually panders to Nazi ideals. That is the reason that 50 million people died, to bring Naziism down and no credence should ever be given to its support.

If "redpilled" frogposters knew anything about being critical of American Zionism, they'd bring into question Hilberg's work, which initially put the tally to 5.1 million (and could be much more, or much less, either way).

The reason why the gas chambers were only used to kill a couple million (they weren't large enough, or implemented in time to destroy 6) is not that they're lying about the figures, they've literally counted in all the partisans, shootings, missing peoples, etc. during WWII under Nazi rule.

Hitler couldn't win. National-Socialism was fundamentally negative, and thus it could not produce meaning, only deny meaning to other things ; hence the mediocrity of 1936-1945 Germany's cultural production. National-Socialism was anorganic, ahistorical, nothing more than chance. It had no deeper meaning than its brief existence ; and its work was negative : a negation of life and historical struggle. Their goal was to stop history, to make a "thousand-year Reich", --- to stay forever stuck in the ahistorical time of the fantasy, of the myth. Hitler was a Ludwig II with power. Look at his counselors, his cabinet ; degenerates, weaklings, ex-communists (Goebbels) ; look at the SA : literally, the rabble wearing the same shirt ; the whole of National-Socialism meant nothing, stood for nothing. They were the exact opposite of everything Nietzsche describe as a superior form of human existence ; plebeians in culture, plebeians in politics and plebeians in design. You should read Spengler. The Nazis couldn't stand the fact that Germany's attempts to make itself culturally relevant through military actions had failed, from 1870 to 1918 ; and they thought that its problems, which had to do with the exhaustion, not only of Germany, but of the West in general, had to be someone else's fault, and could be fixed by getting rid of that someone and uniting the Germans under a single rule. Of course, it failed. Burckhardt had already shown how the State could not produce anything, culturally ; and Nietzsche quickly understood this ; and so did Spengler, while considering the State as the ultimate cultural production which ended cultural production. The Nazis were typical leftists, in thinking they could solve deeper, fundamental human problems, through the State.

I'm not particularly convinced that the Holocaust did or didn't happen. I was hoping to go through the concept with you, and maybe one of us will learn something.

What sort of evidence do you think is warranted when making the large claim that the Holocaust happened? What does, or does not constitute the Holocaust? Is it even rational to believe such a thing at all? Is it possible for even people who experienced life in that era to confirm or deny something that large with a first-person account?

These are the kinds of question I want to explore with you, but you have to give me something to work with as you are the one demanding evidence. Merely turning the question back on me is a lowly device that ignores that fact that the asker should have some idea of what they are looking for, even if that is later collaboratively modified or even overturned in the course of discussion.

>>9401486
That wasn't me, but I agree with it. I don't owe you proof that something happened, but if you want to assert that there is a major mistake in the common understanding, you should point out what sort of substance is lacking so that we can investigate the claim.

If I had a vested interest in proving OR disproving the historicity of the Holocaust, I'd need to set some standards for the discussion. Just saying "lel convince me - you can't because it's impossible" is really lazy thinking. Plenty of idiots are convinced of things all the time because they don't have standards.

Now, you're more interested in wasting time with this instead of describing what evidence you're looking for so we can move to that portion of the discussion. For someone so eager to see some evidence, why are you reluctant to do this? Is something stopping you from describing an acceptable level of evidence, or do you not really want this evidence as badly as you claim to?

Having failed to produce an answer to my demand for your standards of evidence, you turn to asking me to provide you some standards instead. This is not surprising, but it is disappointing.

Piling "evidence" into a discussion with no standards just muddies the waters and encourages empty talk.

Standards of evidence are only useful if they belong to the party demanding evidence. What would be the point of a standard, only for the person to simply deny it? To be convinced, you need a standard of evidence that will suffice.

Its a book going in detail about how people resisted in the camps and how it was suppressed and at how some camps they had prison riots and dedicated underground prison networks with its own politics. Ohyeah and how the experiences of being there relates to a new type of post left anarchism. Would recommend this to anyone interested in how people were kept docline within the camps and how some did resist.

I'll take up his side of the argument for a quick minute before my day starts if you have time.
>standards of evidence
the problem with standards of evidence is that there's little evidence that holds up to any standard. I could take a photo of my backyard firepit and say it's for burning dogs. there'd be no "standard of evidence" that would debunk that.

>gas chambers
what I would ask for is the location/pictures of a gas chamber that was fit for purpose of gassing multiple people.

>legitimacy of accounts
most "eyewitness accounts" mention things like knives in the floor, or rollercoasters into the ovens. I would like photo evidence of what's mentioned from a couple of accounts to prove that those accounts have substance.

>psychological reasoning
I would say any reasoning should be apparent if you were to post nazi propaganda that pointed towards running extermination camps at the expense of the war effort or country.


there's 3, and if you want to continue this discussion feel free to get back to me with it or make another thread.


now pictures can be falsified, so how would we prove that the pictures are indeed real or taken on location? we can't. which brings back the question of why can't we go there again and take new pictures? because it's illegal.

Sure there is. I'd ask questions like "what makes this different then a normal firepit? did anyone see these dogs being burned? did a lot of dogs go missing around this time?" and so on.

As for pictures of suitable gas chambers, there are plenty of those (not that this constitutes an absolute proof, especially if you discount the attestations from people that existed at that time). If you find them unsuitable, explain your reasoning and we can discuss that.

I haven't seen any credible accounts of knives in the floor or rollercoasters into ovens; much less can I believe that "most" accounts contain these elements. If you have a link to any primary sources on this, I would love to verify that for myself.

Extermination of the undesirables was the Great Work of Nazi Germany. Far from being at the expense of the country, it was in service to the country according to the prevailing narrative. In addition, the logistics and political viability of "shooting them then and there" seems much less practical compared to the method actually used.

As I mentioned before, you kind of paint yourself into a corner if you refuse to believe the word of the people who were there (Jews and Nazis alike). Even allowing people to take pictures would not solve the falsifiability problem you described. You could go and see for yourself, but this is not practical for everyone.

How often do you need a killer's instrument to be displayed, and the corpse, after the trial is over and the sentence passed? Do the killer's inheritors get to say in seventy years "where is the body? where are the living witnesses? how do you know that instrument is even mine?" and demand that the record be expunged, their ancestor declared innocent?

>"what makes this different then a normal firepit? did anyone see these dogs being burned? did a lot of dogs go missing around this time?"
nothing, yes I have multiple eye witnesses. no they didn't because dogs can breed.

this is the level of argument for the holocaust. even "did a lot of X go missing?" was bought up earlier in the thread and that was shown to be false.

>there are plenty of pictures of gas chambers
no there's not. there's only a few and most of them have wooden doors. the key was "suitable for use as a gas chamber" - I am happy to change my mind if I can see a gas chamber picture that was sourced from the location.
>if you find them unsuitable, explain your reasoning
as above.


>. If you have a link to any primary sources on this,
what is a primary source of a tertiary source?
the knives and rollercoasters are some of the more notably bizzare cases. consider just a random one taken from the holocaust website:
http://remember.org/witness/elsiev
>She also learned that the open areas in the wall were used by the Nazis to put their guns through to shoot at the people in the room.
this is what she learned, but where is the proof that it actually happened? what room was she talking about? photos of the room?

>Extermination of the undesirables was the Great Work of Nazi Germany.
they did not want to exterminate, they wanted to "get rid of" and get the undesirables out of the country.
There is actually a video of Goering explaining this at nuremberg, when a quote was attributed as a mis-translation "do you want to exterminate undesirables" - "No, this is a misquote, the original said we want to liberate the german people from undesirables"
or something of that sort.
naturally, it's a bit difficult to find amongst thousands of videos "about the holocaust and why it actually happened" ( which is bizzare that it has to be repeated so often if it's such an easy case.)

but I digress.

>if you refuse to believe the word of the people who were there
I didn't say I refused to believe. I said that I hold what they say to scrutiny. Nazis never admitted to it unless they were threatened. nor did anyone else except for jewish people who were there. ( homosexuals, gypsies, et al, never mentioned any holocaust)

>How often do you need a killer's instrument to be displayed, and the corpse, after the trial is over and the sentence passed?
old cases are dug up when there's new evidence or the breakdown of old evidence all the time. that's the great joke about it. it's just that in this case:
>old evidence being broken "well you're a holocaust denier I can't believe the lols what a retarded red-piller"
>new evidence - "the case is shut, it definitely happened. you're not allowed to question it, we can't bring this up again it's too hurtful."

that's actually the great joke about the holocaust, that it's treated so differently than other cases.

Ultimately I'm of the notion that it doesn't matter if it happened or not

this thread has piqued my interest,

reading up on holocaust denial on wikipedia:

>In 1980, the IHR promised a $50,000 reward to anyone who could prove that Jews were gassed at Auschwitz. Mel Mermelstein wrote a letter to the editors of the LA Times and others including The Jerusalem Post. The IHR wrote back, offering him $50,000 for proof that Jews were, in fact, gassed in the gas chambers at Auschwitz.

>Mermelstein, in turn, submitted a notarized account of his internment at Auschwitz and how he witnessed Nazi guards ushering his mother and two sisters and others towards (as he learned later) gas chamber number five.

>Despite this, the IHR refused to pay the reward. Represented by public interest attorney William John Cox, Mermelstein subsequently sued the IHR in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County for breach of contract, anticipatory repudiation, libel, injurious denial of established fact, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and declaratory relief (see case no. C 356 542). On October 9, 1981, both parties in the Mermelstein case filed motions for summary judgment in consideration of which Judge Thomas T. Johnson of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County took "judicial notice of the fact that Jews were gassed to death at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland during the summer of 1944,"[56][57] judicial notice meaning that the court treated the gas chambers as common knowledge, and therefore did not require evidence that the gas chambers existed.

see this is why the original poster was asking you to provide evidence, because once someone responds to your questions you don't have anything and stop responding and kill the thread.

you have no substance
you have no evidence
anyone who debunks the holocaust gets physically attacked.
anyone who questions the holocaust gets libel or arrested
nothing else in history requires this much attention
nothing else in history demands this much "respect" for the narrative.

I don't deny the holocaust, its very much a real part of history because no matter if it happened or not, it's proof of jewish relationship to misinformation.

>oh hurr durr "its da joos" all over again

evidence that jews died in camps, as many people died in camps. but I digress
>Now if you want to "question the narrative" YOU need evidence to support what your saying.
how do you provide evidence to support a question? I fail to see how that makes sense.

>provide a picture of a gas chamber that is fit for purpose of gassing people.
an example is to the right, is that evidence of my question?

>provide a picture to support the notion that rooms had gunholes to mow people down
i don't know how to provide evidence to this question. consider old archery holes in castles?

other than that there's just a lot of libel against me because I dare to ask questions.

the only "evidence" that I could actually post would be one of the officials correcting the translation in nuremburg, but it's difficult to find under the swamp of "look at how bad the holocaust was" videos so I apologise and we can dismiss that.

what I'm saying is

the evidence that I have seen suggest they used wooden doors and no safe ventilation methods.
I have doubts that a wooden unsealed door and no safe ventilation methods was used as a gas chamber.
the evidence of this is thus: gas can escape around the wooden doors, people can break down wooden doors ( given the strength of human self-preservation) and would stay in the room not allowing guards to clear out the room for the next lot of jews to be gassed.

if theres any evidence of gas chambers that do not have these faults, please show me them, because I would love to see them and put this idea to bed.

the following is an example of your argument style:

>The holohoax claims raised my curiosity because it sounded plausible, until I researched the actual facts. Read for yourself, the actual facts are freely available on the internet,there is plenty of actual evidence. Many of the holohoax claims are clearly based on lies and very apparent, it’s a typical conspiracy scenario that doesn’t hold up because of the actual size of the deception required. I approached this with a completely open mind and not assuming one side or the other was correct.

given that almost any wooden door has gaps around the top, bottom, and side. I think it's obvious that gas can escape.
do you run out of oxygen when a wooden door closes to your room? no, because gas ( air ) can get in.
credible source is your own bedroom

>people can break down wooden doors ( given the strength of human self-preservation)
I was referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterical_strength but I was caught out with "though supporting evidence is scarce"
I understand that, but suppose one does not need super human strength to break down wooden doors.
credible source is literally any firefighter who had to get into a burning house.

>[gas] would stay in the room not allowing guards to clear out the room for the next lot of jews to be gassed.
where would the gas go in a safe manner? please explain to me how the chamber became "safe" for guards to be in there once all the jews were dead.
credible source - modern gas chambers have ventilation.

It's pretty easy to imagine evidence that any given detail of the Holocaust didn't happen, if it didn't.
