So what do you say to people who don't believe that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust? They believe that the number is considerably less. Are they right? Wrong? What sources do you use to back up your argument?

I don't argue with them, I suggest they research the documented records that actually exist showing how many were murdered and if they can not be bothered to become educated and end their state of ignorance they are to stupid to be in a conversation with me.

Not a thing...

I don’t argue.. But maintain a neutral face, watch to learn who their associates are, then avoid them like the plague they are.

6 Million is quite an even number, 5,983,271 looks more truthful as would 6,121,872. If it was 6m even, it would be a tragedy to discredit the 16k from my first number. Might just be my own way in looking at numbers but I do the same thing when the news reports police estimates of street value of seized drugs. I'm not a denier I'm just suggesting that the number used is a possible factor in the denier mind.

Errm, it has been well documented, there is some film footage, will have to dredge back to the sources for that. Of course you could visit any of the concentrations camps. Aushwitz-Birkenau demonstrates quite clearly that it was a death factory, Sachsenhausen was more of a brutal detention centre, but it was brutal. Ravensbruck was a mixture of both, although only for women. Terezin was a little less brutal, mainly because it was a forgery central, but the inmates were still viewed as 'disposable assets'. For the doubters, yes, not all concentration camps were death camps, but people did die in them. There were a few that were designed for effeicient execution and eradication of all people that the Nazi's deemed as sub human, or not conforming to their aryan ideal. Was it 6 million? Given the nazi records trove in Berlin, where they documented everything, I would say that it was probably a tad more. Ultimately if someone wants to deny, let them, but then you have to ask yourself, do you want to interact with people that choose to ignore history, because it doesn't conform to their taste?

Exactly....there is a movement under way to "rewrite" our own history - they are trying to get the civil way era "scrubbed" in some of the newer history textbooks so that it does not look like southern land owners actually had "slaves" who were horribly abused and brutalized - they are trying to make it sound like they were all just share croppers who worked on these plantations and got together on sundays for BBQ and to sing hymns. History is supposed to reflect what actually happened - not some sanitized version to cover up man's inhumanity to man. 😟

@Lavergne Unfourtunately that's another facet of history. It can be swept under the rug, but sooner or later the truth will out. In the meantime we just have to tell truth to power and do our best to encourage people to question and research the facts.

I give some credence to the people who argue against the mass-gassing of Jewish people based on their claim that there is no evidence of the necessaries for this method to be found in the concentration camps. I don't doubt that there was a Holocaust but the numbers may have been inflated. My main source is an Irish journalist that I respect, Kevin Myers, who wrote an article about it years ago.

I find that comment surprising. Could you give a link to this Irish journalist's article

Here it is in jpg format. It'll probably need to some enlarging:

I just remove them from my life.
