This is not a troll thread. Go to /pol/.

This is ovens to keep the prisoners 'warm'

Listen to what Himmler is saying there, they are exterminating the Jews, he says.

But himmler was a nobody.

Nice try Schlomo. The original image is from the 1912 Dresden Ohio train crash

Why are you lying?

Are you lying to yourself or to people? Are you aware of your lies?

>food for prisoners
>half the patches are full of flowers

ok then

Why are they burning naked bodies from a train crash here?

Can you prove it is a forgery?

Oh, wait it's carl clauberg:

Carl Clauberg (28 September 1898 – 9 August 1957) was a German medical doctor who conducted medical experiments on human subjects (mainly Jewish) in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. He worked with Horst Schumann in X-ray sterilization experiments at Auschwitz concentration camp.

In 1942 he approached Heinrich Himmler (who knew of him through his treatment of the wife of a senior SS officer)[1] and asked him to give him an opportunity to sterilize women in masses for his experiments. Himmler agreed and Clauberg moved to Auschwitz concentration camp in December 1942. Part of the Block number 10 in the main camp became his laboratory. Clauberg looked for an easy and cheap way to sterilize women. He injected formaldehyde preparations into their uteruses—without anesthetics. His test subjects were Jewish and Tzigani women who suffered permanent damage and serious infections. Some of the subjects died because of the tests. Estimates of those who survived but were sterilized are around 700.

When the Red Army approached the camp, Clauberg moved to Ravensbrück concentration camp to continue his experiments on Romani women. Soviet troops captured him there in 1945.

After the war in 1948 Clauberg was put on trial in the Soviet Union and received 25 years in prison. In 1955, he was released (but not pardoned) by the Soviet Union, with the final group of about 10,000 POWs and civilian internees. He returned to West Germany, where he was reinstated at his former clinic based on his prewar scientific output. Bizarre behavior, including openly boasting of his "achievements" in "developing a new sterilization technique at the Auschwitz concentration camp", destroyed any chance he might have had of staying unnoticed. After public outcry from groups of survivors, Clauberg was arrested in 1955 and was put on trial. He died of a heart attack before the trial could start.

incredible, read the article
i'll pots a part of it

Ron Jones, 96, was held in E715 - a prisoner of war camp alongside the main Auschwitz extermination camp in Poland - after being captured by German troops during World War II.

He said the soldiers were terrified.

'We did not know what would happen to us. We thought at one time they would stick us in the gas chamber,' said Ron.

'It was not just Jews going in, it was Polish, political prisoners, gypsies, homosexuals.'

During the week prisoners were employed at forced labour camps, but on their rest day they were allowed to play football on a field just outside the camp - with armed German guards watching from the sidelines.

Can this be considered a smoking gun?

friendly reminder that Auschwitz had a pool available for inmate use and even had monthly puppet shows for kids

friendly reminder that no Zyklon B was ever found in the alleged gas chambers, despite intense, rigorous forensic testing

friendly reminder that only camps inspected by the Soviet Union were implicated in a genocide

friendly reminder that the Soviet Union never made public their findings on the four camps that only they inspected which would later be the only camps implicated in the genocide

friendly reminder that the over a dozen camps inspected by the allies were all definitively proven to have never had any executions occur

friendly reminder that the military peddled rumours like soap made of humans and lampshades made of skin which were later definitively proven false

friendly reminder that no mass graves were ever discovered

reminder that the nazis somehow managed to incinerate over 6 million corpses in three years using 1940s technology if there were no mass graves, an impossible feat for no less than one hundred modern crematoriums

friendly reminder that the allies never intercepted a single transmission about a jewish genocide despite the fact that Alan Turing had cracked all the nazi codes including those going two and from the SS, military generals and Hitler that resulted in allied victory?

friendly reminder that Hitler waste money feeding, clothing, transporting and housing jews just to kill them with valuable gas over many, many years, during wartime when resources were precious and limited instead of just having them gunned down by the army

Rabbit breeding in Auschwitz

Most of that is outright false, the rest is misleading.

>friendly reminder no Zyklon B was ever found in the alleged gas chambers, despite intense, rigorous forensic testing
Holocaust deniers claim that Zyklon B gas was not used in the gas chambers, relying for evidence on the research of Fred A. Leuchter, who found low levels of Prussian blue in samples of the gas chamber walls and ceilings. Leuchter attributed its presence to general delousing of the buildings. Leuchter's negative control, a sample of gasket material taken from a different camp building, had no cyanide residue.[60] In 1999, James Roth, the chemist who had analyzed Leuchter's samples, stated that the test was flawed because the material that was sent for testing included large chunks, and the chemical would only be within 10 microns of the surface. The surface that had been exposed to the chemical was not identified, and the large size of the specimens meant that any chemical present was diluted by an undeterminable amount.[61] In 1994, the Institute for Forensic Research in Kraków re-examined Leuchter's claim, stating that formation of Prussian blue by exposure of bricks to cyanide is not a highly probable reaction.[62] Using microdiffusion techniques, they tested 22 samples from the gas chambers and delousing chambers (as positive controls) and living quarters (as negative controls). They found cyanide residue in both the delousing chambers and the gas chambers but none in the living quarters.[63]

not to mention witness accounts from unrelated poles, jews, germans, brits and russians

There is no need to disprove any more of your post, since the core of your post is incorrect. If you've so blatantly lied in such an important part of it, then you've discredited your side.

how so

The Angora rabbit project was a Nazi SS project for breeding Angora rabbits. The objective was to provide fur for the linings of jackets for Luftwaffe pilots. Angora rabbits were raised in Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau.

The bound volume[1] covered in woven gray wool, titled Angora, belonged to Heinrich Himmler, the chief of the SS in Nazi Germany and head of its concentration camps. Himmler's Angora album, which he hid in a farmhouse with his other papers near the end of World War II, tells the story of the Angora rabbit project that operated in Nazi death camps.

Chicago Tribune war correspondent Sigrid Schultz found the book in its hiding place near Himmler's alpine villa, and described the significance of the angora project:

In the same compound where 800 human beings would be packed into barracks that were barely adequate for 200, the rabbits lived in luxury in their own elegant hutches. In Buchenwald, where tens of thousands of human beings starved to death, rabbits enjoyed beautifully prepared meals. The SS men who whipped, tortured, and killed prisoners saw to it that the rabbits enjoyed loving care.

The rabbits were raised for their soft, warm fur, which was shaved and used for, among other things, the linings of jackets for Luftwaffe pilots. Himmler had given speeches bragging that "We Germans are the only people in the world who have a decent attitude towards animals." He also described his prisoners in the camps as "human animals" but added that "it is a crime against our blood to worry about them."

>friendly reminder that the military peddled rumours like soap made of humans and lampshades made of skin which were later definitively proven false

This is correct.

Orchestra in Auschwitz

...

Picture of the camp choir, recruited from the workers at the IG Farben factory at Auschwitz--all well-fed prisoners, putting on a concert for the camp inmates

As an increasing number of professional Polish musicians were arrested, the quality of performance improved. (Until the last months of the orchestra, Jews were not allowed to join.)

The orchestra’s primary task was to accompany prisoners marching to and from work, so that the marching rhythm would allow ease of control over the prisoners. The musicians were originally required to play outside regardless of the weather, although in later years, they were allowed to play indoors during rain and snow. The orchestra was also required to play for the SS guards on Saturdays, and to perform long Sunday concerts for the pleasure of camp commander Hoess and his family and friends.

The orchestra had a high turnover rate. In addition to the generally high death rate in Auschwitz -- musicians were not freed from their daily labour assignments -- there was also a high suicide rate, due perhaps to the emotional pressure of the context.

The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz, or the Girls' Orchestra of Auschwitz, was a female orchestra at Auschwitz concentration camp, which was created in Spring 1943 by order of the SS. The members were usually young female prisoners, of varying nationalities, who were spared regular camp labor in lieu of performing music that was regarded as helpful in the daily running of the camp.

>Spring 1943
The Mädchenorchester von Auschwitz (lit. "Girls Orchestra of Auschwitz") was first formed in April 1943 [1] as a pet project of SS-Oberaufseherin ("SS chief supervisor") Maria Mandel, for the Germans who desired both a propaganda tool for visitors and camp newsreels, and as a tool for camp morale. It was led by a Polish music teacher, Mrs. Zofia Czajkowska, and remained small until May 1943 when Jews were allowed to be admitted.

Will someone from /pol/ explain why Holocaust denial is so central to a large part of that particular branch of right wing ideology?

Grooming horses in Auschwitz

Currency for prisoners in Auschwitz

Firstly, /pol/ users are generally contrarian in nature and holocaust denying is the ultimate act you can do as a contrarian because everyone who is normal accepts it as fact.

Then there's diminishing the human rights violations of the Nazis to legitimise them and to lessen any pity given to jews who they hate.

It is used to legitimize antisemitism, used to exculpate fascism and fits in with the rest of all the conspiracy ideation.

A camp library where inmates could borrow books from Forty -five thousand volumes available.

Why is there so little evidence even to this day?

Camp post office with twice weekly pick-ups and deliveries

So the truth matters less than politics. I see

there's actually a lot, idiot. a small snippit:

ideology is a hell of a drug

soldiers sure had means

A camp theater where live plays could be performed by camp inmate actors.

The nazis were good boys, they dindu nuffin

Hospital at Auschwitz

The saddest thing is according to their own ideology Ashkenazi Jews were actually superior to the German people.

How do we help them?

Nurses

An internet image isn't proof for intentional mass murder, user. The burden of proof is on holocaust believers.

Prisoners who have committed suicide on the electrified barbed wire fence of the camp

Himmler said, and is recorded and posted in this thread that the mass murder was intentional.

Well, the Germans helped in proving that statement to be quite true.

Nazi human experimentation.
Look it up.

What makes you think it was "for prisoners".

You haven't responded to a single criticism of the descriptions of the pictures you've been posting.

If they don't like images, perhaps the deniers shouldn't hide out on anonymous image boards.

Prisoners provided with dental care in Auschwitz

that's carl clauberg according to reverse image search

Auschwitz maternity ward - Over 3,000 live births were registered there, with not a single infant death while Auschwitz was in operation under German rule.

Actually no.That is from an experiment in wich the "lab rat' was feed only with salty water and placed in a cold water container(the pic).He died true,but it was the slaty water that killed him.

Marriages took place between inmates. The left is a marriage certificate given at Auschwitz.

I'm skeptical on the gas chambers themselves but it seems moot regardless.

An entire ethnic group was rounded up and forced in ghettos then transported to labour camps where millions were met with death under in human conditions.

All because of loose allegations of Jewish people being responsible for Germany's downfall in WW1.

Why is an entire race held accountable for the few? Isn't this what /pol/ hates the left for?

The chambers happened. It's not moot, because it's such a barbaric, yet innovative way of killing.
There's polish, german, jewish, russian, british direct witnesses. There is chemical evidence. There is other material evidence.

pol is sjw at this moment

>All because of loose allegations of Jewish people being responsible for Germany's downfall in WW1.

That's not true.

This is Helena Citronova, Jewish prisoner who was fucking a SS man with whom she eventually fell in love.

Even in Auschwitz hypergamy is at work.

The main reason was the German people hated the Jews.

I mean who wouldn't. Imagine some different looking minority group, with a different religion, language and customs outperforming your own people?

What is the most convincing proof that Germany wanted to systematically exterminate all jews?

You fucking liar, her real name was Helga Jewiskova and she secretly ran Auschwitz as a Jewish holiday resort where they served German babies at breakfast.

Get your fucking facts right and stop making fun of /pol/ with your false flags.

the Holocaust

Boy she does look pretty healthy.

Do we actually have pictures of the camps at their heyday with prisoners looking like emaciated corpses like they do in pictures during the liberation?

No, seriously.

>Himmler's posen speeches
>four crematoria built each with the capacity to burn the whole camp population many times over the course of two years
>hair with Zyklon B traces
>massive census differences prior and after WWII
>Einsatzgruppen reports
>so many others

You'd have to be willingly ignorant or an ideologue to deny the intention of killing jews in mass.

Jews at the door of crematorium 3 (which means they were probably heading to crema 2).

>mostly elderly women and children
>there isn't anything else in this area of the camp besides the crematoria, which are also at the extreme point fo the camp

wonder what happened to them.

They were taken to the Auschiwtz hospital where they were fed Auschwitz grown vegetables then they went to a Auschiwtz concert before peacefully sleeping in the Auschwitz dormitory.

There are lots of pictures of new arrivals, AFAIK. Those obviously would also look healthy due to not being incarcerated beforehand, unless they were in a different camp.
Holocaust deniers use these photos of new arrivals to generalize that all the inmates are healthy.

Pictures of elderly and children also tend to be of new arrivals, because they would then immediately be gassed, due to not being able to work. Notice that they tend to be clothed very differently.

This is correct. There was significant turnover in those camps. For obvious reasons.

so it is just like mars one.

>required to play for the SS guards on Saturdays
shabbat not shalom.
probably because they want a repetition.

The rumour about soap is correct though. There were found a few kilos of that thing.

>+ Sajmište
I never really understood this.
It was on Nazi Croatian territory (and originally operated by Germans and later on Croats), but it's right across the river from Belgrade, from Serbia. Most of the Jews from Serbia were killed in Sajmiste. However Belgrade had the Banjica concentration camp. In which the number of killed was 1/10th of Sajmiste.
What's the purpose of having 2 camps in what's basically one city (albeit in 2 different countries), and killing so many in one of them.

It's an eerie place, and it always bothered me that a football field, a 5 star hotel and a shopping mall are so close to it.

why is that? its not like they would live long enough to be of any use

nevermind its probably ment for the staff

I'm not particularly familiar with the Yugoslavian camps (that being said, perhaps there's something relevant at Holocaust Controversies: I know they have a section on the USSR and Yugoslavia, but I've never been through it in detail.)

but as one of several guesses:

>You did have differing 'departments' of the SS, as it were, which were vying for favor by offering competing solutions to the 'Jewish problem' and used different methods. The extermination ideas came from the bottom up, not the top down.
>You might have had the Auschwitz-Birkenau setup spread out over 2 different camps. Healthy enough to work for a little while? Go to Banjica. Not healthy enough to work at whatever it is we're doing? Trot them to Sajmiste and kill them.
>It could quite simply be some sort of breakdown as to who went where by whatever geographic determination, with one camp having a more lethal policy.


I don't know where you work, but check out a DMV or the equivalent. Governments are inefficient, bureaucratic messes by large, and the Nazis were definitely no exception.

>inb4 Jewish forgery or kikepedia.

Damn, I didn't know.
>>inb4 Jewish forgery or kikepedia.
Don't worry, I am not one of these tinfoil stahlhelm wearing stormfags.

The main reason that Auschwitz is so famous and is the 'face' of the Holocaust is that it was a combined extermination/labor camp. You had Birkenau, which was kill on sight, and you had about 45 other camps in the same general complex, most of which were used in some kind of slave labor capacity.

That gave it a sizeable survivor pool in close proximity to a camp which had a 6 figure death toll, which was unique. Most of the Action Reinhard camps, for instance, have survivors that could be measured in double digits.

So yeah, you had a lot of people there who weren't Jewish, very few of whom went to Birkenau and got gassed there.

>see this line of people standing around?
>they all got SHOVED IN THE OVENS
bet you holocaust deniers feel pretty dumb now, eh?

I've read that the SS in Serbia would give candy to gypsy children to lure them into gas vans.
I've read it in one historical book (but i can't really remember where), and i've also read it in a fictional book in that setting.

Do you have any sources of that happening in Serbia or elsewhere? It seems like a joke to me.
