I repeat (in hopes that some here will actually answer and think about the consequences...)
So now my challenge to you is: ADMIT that some of the history of the holocaust is inaccurate... ( )True or ( ) False?
Any here actually plan to answer the question above (especially mikehz)...
Ah--I see the plan. If you can establish that some minor details are incorrect, it invalidates the entire event. Right? So, if it's NOT
exactly six million, (or whatever), then no one was murdered.
My question is, if the holocaust never occurred, then where did all those people vanish to? (There are records; tons of records. The Germans were nothing if not sticklers for record-keeping.)
Let's see--we can probably play this "if some of the details are wrong, then the thing never happened" game with other historical events. Columbus wasn't the first European to discover America, so colonization never happened. The Wrights weren't the first to fly heavier-than-air craft, so aviation never occurred. We can go on all day with this...
But yes--huge numbers of people were undoubtedly murdered in the German concentration camps. William Shire did a great deal of research for his "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," and details the very careful planning and orchestrating of the holocaust, giving names, dates, documents. The deniers have to explain away each of these. So far, from what I've seen, heard and read of them, they do a pitifully lousy job of it.
