Get the fuck out of here you Holocaust denying piece of shit.
For those that don't know: this is a common tactic of neo Nazis to get their foot in the door. Downplay and question the number of people, then say the Nazis weren't so bad, and the Jews made up inflated numbers to fortify their hold on the media and in international politics.
This point has been refuted for decades. We have documents from Himmler, Goebbels, and Eichmann estimating the number of European Jews to be 11 million before the war. The world almanac cited by Holocaust deniers was out of date and had faulty data collection.
Other methods used for Holocaust denial includes citing early sources before the Allies could go through all the data. For instance, Auschwitz will be said to have exterminated 1 million people, not 4. This comes from early newspaper reports from when the camp was first found.
The on going debate about numbers is what gives them power those deniers a foot hold, you discuss about number instead of discussing the extermination.
It does not make the holocaust less horrible if only 3 million Jews were killed.
What horrible in this extermination is that there was nothing in recorded history similar to this.
The brutality of treating humans like cows or cockroaches, seperating families using the strong as slaves and sending the weak to their death in a well shopisticated assembly line which included gasing them, collecting their bodies and placing them in ovens since burying and shooting is too much effort.
Yes their were massacres, forced starvation and many more but there never death camps and death assembly lines, the Germans took the killing into another level, a level never seen on the planet.
Yes 6 million Jews were killed maybe more but not only Jews, many others who didn't fit Hitlers agenda.
We should never forget we should avoid and make sure something like this would never happened.
