/pol/ is full of idiots, and slowly I am becoming more and more right wing.
As a huge history know-it-all, I have researched the holocaust for a long time now, researching documents, paperwork, statistics, facts.
I haven't come to a true conclusion yet, what I know for a fact now is that the Soviets most certianly has used the camps as propaganda, and has erected many fake structures to keep the myth going, such as chimneys that give the illusion of cremation rooms.
I feel as though Ive been told a lie, years ago I'd never question the barbaric things that happened during the holocaust, now I question them everyday.
I wanted your opinions. What do you think about the Holocaust?

I think it's obvious that 6 million jews died. But did these jews die in a vast campaign of murder involving the use of homicidal gas chambers, or did they die of overwork, disease and starvation in concentration camps?

Yeah it's not like they had been tortured to make them confess and would have surely been tortured more if they had denied it in court.

They did have a population of more than 6 million.
How?
Why not just kill the jews here and there, instead of using valuable resources to deport them thousands of miles, only to immediately kill them in a very bizarre way.
Adrian Morgan
Never heard of the Jager report, huh? Or other Einsatzgruppen "special actions"? Or how they started going off the deep end after too many mass executions, and it was far more psychologically stabilizing to kill them out of sight, more impersonally?

Hunter Robinson
Yes, I've heard of the Einsatzgruppen, and they make a whole a lot more sense than using gas chambers.
I have a very, very hard time believing the "those poor SS officers couldn't stand the sight of Jews dying so we had to kill them in an impersonal way".
Is that the only argument explaining the use of gas chambers over bullets?
Michael Adams
Why doubt it? I mean, yeah sure doubt it because you sorta 'have' to doubt everything to an extent. But if it were a lie by the jews, created to somehow consolidate more power within their ranks, what are they doing with it? It's been more than 70 years since the Holocaust, surely they would actually be trying to do something, if it were all a lie they were using to 'get something they wanted'. Zionism had existed since before WWII, and it didn't REALLY give them much more power than you would think a legitimate genocide would (if it were a lie concocted to gain power anyway).
Literally the only reason I can think of to doubt this, without some illuminati shit, is so they could exploit it inside of Hollywood and make a shit tonne of money off of holocaust movies, since that is all they are really doing. I think Israel would be much, much more legitimate, had the Holocaust been a lie concocted for reasons we do not know.
I mean it's a romantic idea, but literally why? You can create other sources of propaganda if you want to invade germany, or at least stop what it's doing. 6 million dead is a HUGE lie, and if it does blow up in their face (it eventually will, it can't be kept secret for ever) it will only be detremental to their end game.

WWII obviously gave more of a cause for Zionism.. I am not refuting that. Saying more jews became Zionists after WWII doesn't mean anything.
If you are studying modern history writing a paper with your central thesis being "Zionism and how it is an inherently xenophobic movement" is how you get a HD.
Lincoln Ross
>I have a very, very hard time believing the "those poor SS officers couldn't stand the sight of Jews dying so we had to kill them in an impersonal way".
Well then take it up with Chris Browning, but I doubt you'll win that particular debate.
Not to mention that for a rather large subset of the Jewish population were in areas that were nominally under the control of German allies, Hungary, Romania, etc. You can't exactly go around openly murdering them without at least an official squawk of protest.
also, before the "final solution" was developed executions by the ss/einsatzgruppen in the east were seen as too disorderly and publicized at a time where the outside world was misinformed/skeptical of the magnitude of the executions.
the relocation to camps and subsequent use of shower gassing was seen as part of a larger process to be more methodical and secretive (they showers themselves were often underground)

But assuming that this warrants deportation, if you take the trouble of deporting Jews to camps thousands of miles away, why not use them as slave labor, as they were used in many concentration camps around Germany. Why were a few camps in Poland "death camps"? What's the logic behind this?
Jayden Perry
The six million figure includes all the homosexuals, retards, communists, gypsies, dissidents and other groups they wanted to get rid off, as well as the Jews, but the figure has been twisted into "six million jews" over the years

No it doesn't. It's 6 million Jews and 5 million others.

Death Squads for Jews begin early in the war. Soon these units had an epidemic of alcoholism and were unmanageable. Do you have a hard time believing that not every single last SS, or soldier for that matter, was a reptilian sociopath? Even if you absolutely hate your "enemy", the horror and sorrow of that kind of slaughter will traumatize most people over time.

You're honestly an idiot yourself if you believe the holocaust is a lie. It's not even worth arguing with your kind about burdens and proof, because it stares you right in the fucking face.
They were not tortured (at least not those in American/French/British hands -- Soviets, Italians and other eastern euros and balkans are all savages, so who knows). They really believed they would get off on the 'just following orders' defence, because that *had* been a legal defence in military situations. The Holocaust was exponential order of magnitude more than that, so the defence was not accepted.
I will add though, I think it's pretty fucking ridiculous going after 90-something-year olds who were 18-19 when they worked in the camps for a month or two in early 1945 as telephone operators or low-level logistics clerks.
Not all were killed in gas chambers, and that has never been an 'argument'. It is your ignorance for assuming that.
Many were (intentionally) worked to death and so died of combined malnutrition and exhaustion, many were simply shot, and towards the end of the war died on death marches in the tens of thousands.
Anthony Cruz
>It's 6 million Jews and 5 million others. Fun fact, that figure was made up for political reasons.
>When Israeli historians Yehuda Bauer and Yisrael Gutman challenged Wiesenthal on this point, he admitted that he had invented the figure of eleven million victims in order to stimulate interest in the Holocaust among non-Jews. He chose five million because it was almost, but not quite, as large as six million. …

My gramps, who has called Jews the antichrist, has relayed memories of Germans marching in, rounding up all local Jews, burning the houses and shops along Main street they owned, and then hearing machinegun rounds off by the forest, on a still summers' night.
So no, the holocaust is not a hoax.
More importantly, though, at least here it was mostly scum who lacked the guns to fight at the front that participated, and were despised (and punched, if possible) by the frontline fighters.
What is interesting is that, again coming from my gramps, when he drank with some Soviet officers in the mid-50s, among other things - they were of the view that "shooting Jews was one of the good things they [the Germans] did".
Make of that what you will.

To an extent, it is a lie. To say Hitler did nothing wrong and that the Jews and other "undesireables" were treated fairly is also completely wrong. I'm sure thousands of them did die to starvation and being worked to death. Intentionally exterminated, however? I don't believe that for a moment.
All of the alleged "death camps" were discovered in Eastern Europe and the Soviets are hardly known for their honesty. They manipulated innocent photographs taken by the Germans to demonize them. An example of this is a photograph of a German soldier posing for a picture with an elderly Russian man which was manipulated to show the same German soldier with his hands on the hips of a hung female Russian soldier or Partisan with her breasts out.
The chimney in your image is not present in any photographs from the war, doesn't lead to anything, and was very likely constructed by the Soviets.
Mason Brown
Well, as we all know, there was an ss medic tried just the other day.
Juan Gonzalez
The elderly and very young make for poor laborers so the Germans sent them to camps to dispose if them
Jacob Barnes
I'll just focus on treblinka death camp
Around 750,000 genocidal maniacil deaths come down to the word of around 10 Jews
There have been no excavations
There Are no thousands of tonnes of human ash teeth and bone fragments
The method of death is highly I effecoent , the method of cremation is physically impossible ( and ghetto as fuck)
Treblinka was a transit camp for Jews being deported to the east
Check out he book treblinka: death camp or transit camp, everything is sourced and cited, presents a good argument that the official account needs to be revised
Adam Collins
Well, the simple fact is - Jews here were simply rounded up, old-school, and shot.
The shooters were mostly drunk, and were provided sausage and vodka throughout the shooting by a specially assigned supply officer.
An established fact. My antisemitic gramps recalling it is what you call the "icing".
Eli Moore

Gavin King
It kinda does when the plan was always to kill them one way or another anyway. Slave labour, withholding feed, and forced physical exertion for no reason other than to cause exhaustion is not any morally better or absolvable. And as is firmly established, millions did in the gas chambers.
Germany at least has a 'Nazi catcher' paralegal team that researches anyone who worked in the SS or at concentration camps, and forwards their information to real lawyers, who then decide to press charges or not. I think they've convicted 4 or 5 now. It's pretty fucking ridiculous, because the majority of these guys are very small potatoes in the whole thing. Kids raised in a totalitarian system, and in each case so far, fairly obvious they did no actual killing or selecting for killing, but still get convicted for 80,000 charges of accessory to murder. It's hypocritical as fuck because after the war, thousands of willing career Nazis were permitted to keep their jobs (after perfunctory 'de-nazification') for decades. Some became police commissioners, state governors, supreme court judges and so on. Mind you, some of them were directly involved and complicity in mass murder. They were in their 30s or up during the war, and their identities not secret, yet not a one was ever prosecuted (apart from the Nuremberg trials for the top brass)

The reason more are in the east is because that's where most Jews lived. Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine.
