Testimony of Oskar Groening.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVfFHJE0e1g

Treblinka's ashes are mixed with sand and spread 237,000 square feet around the monuments. Human bones have been found in shallow excavations of the soil containing the sand/ash mixture.

Official Nazi SS records indicate exactly 750,000 were transported to Treblinka. As far as these records are concerned, Treblinka I and II are the same camp.

The camp was designed to kill starting with dehydration, sickness, starvation, injury, and hypothermia occuring on the train rides. Diabetics, small children, infants, and elderly were particularly susceptible to these methods.

Workers preformed janitorial work, cooking, laundry, digging, stoved fires, and logging (to keep the building warm). Those who worked with corpses extracted gold teeth and valubles while later on mashing bones. They worked while fed a starvation diet designed to kill. The sick were denied medical care. These workers were often replaced daily by necessity.

Those who fought or ran were shot and a selection of men, women, and children that were too young to work were gassed to incite fear.

Only late in Treblinka's run did large gassing operations and mass burning take place.

Someone did ask about Treblinka. Do they need sources?

>>509468
Yes, please

>>509468

Yes I would like sources, anon.

No we cannot, because nobody is intersted in the scholarly merits of the event. People are instead interested in pushing their narrative, regardless of facts.


All holocaust threads inevitably turn into shitflinging.

In 1946 the British government set up an inquiry with the specific intent of discrediting Jewish immigration to Palestine and downplaying the Holocaust. It was headed by centre-right, non-Jewish, senior judges, civil servants and diplomats from America and the UK.

Its reluctant findings estimated the number of Jewish victims from the Holocaust at 5.7 million...

Germany - 195,000
Austria - 53,000
Czechoslovakia - 255,000
Denmark - 1,500
France - 140,000
Belgium - 57,000
Luxemburg - 3,000
Norway - 1,000
Holland - 120,000
Italy - 20,000
Yugoslavia - 64,000
Greece - 64,000
Bulgaria - 5,000
Romania - 530,000
Hungary - 200,000
Poland - 3,271,000
USSR - 1,050,000

Total Number Jews Killed - 5,721,500

Read The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boon, a 1971 publication, she survived a concentration camp. Her family hid the Jewish but got caught, most her family died. The book is very detailed about the lives of a concentration camp worker and the environment that spread death.

Do not confuse her with Misha Defonseca, a women who wrote a faked biography about being a holocaust survivor.

This isn't the greatest source ever because I am not sure this guy's book is available online (except to purchase as an actual book).

It is useful as you will notice many Holocaust deniers like to make a big deal about there being a football team at Auschwitz, happily content to ignore the fact the football team was made up from the small allied POW camp at Auschwitz and ignore the fact the people from the football team arethemselves independent eyewitnesses to what happened there.

This was not in the design. This was Irmfried Eberl just trying to stuff as many transports as he could into Treblinka regardless of actual capacity, and of course they died as a result.

>>509544

Because they catch wind of some inconsistencies that can be pointed out and get a little upset that they were not taught in school or they were never brought up without doing a little digging.

I still think Hitler was a magnificent politian and had some viable complaints about jews in Germany.

>>510804
>had some viable complaints about jews in Germany.
such as?

>>510814
The average jew was middle class and above the average German.
They ran bars and smut shows in Germany and pried on the poorest citizens (they did this in America aswell with the blacks). They also were blamed for a series of mini crashes in the German economy that left people to off themselves.
And so on.
Well, here is a good interview with Ursula Haverbek, she brings up many factual and interesting points from the documentary book she is reading from. Unfortunately it's only available in German, but describes in great detail the German camps.

Jews are a race?
Or a religion?

actually German jews in the interwar period were the most assimilated of all the european jewish communities.

Ironically all those who had intermarried and converted were still sent to the deathcamps

>>510861
Well, there was quite a lot of incentive to do so isn't there?
While they assimilated, they never shed their identity I would presume.

They still seperated themselves from European** I mistyped, peoples intentionally and have a poor and abusive history.
Jews, Africans, Russians, do not belong in a German nation.

>>510855
>Thing, it's half jews and quarter jews.
That's a distinction without a difference. They thought of themselves as Jews and so did Hitler's government for that matter.

>>510870
I very much doubt that many of the people executed for having one jewish great grand parent thought of themselves as jews.

>>510868
Nope! German Christians who had converted from Judaism were still treated as Jewish by the regime because they thought that these differences were more than a matter of faith.

Just like you.

>>510870
The source is dubious at best and usually discarded during discussions.
They did not consider themselves jewish.

>>510875
There is quite more of a difference than matter of faith regarding a jew.
They themselves believe it friend, I don't think they are a race, but certainly some ethnicity.
They even do genetic tests in Israel for admission.

not BASED OP, but I have read several decent books on the topic of Holocaust denial. Here are two that I recommend:

Denying History: Who Says the Holocaust Never Happened and Why Do They Say It? by multiple authors
http://www.amazon.com/Denying-History-Holocaust-Never-Happened/dp/0520260988/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1451979524&sr=1-1&keywords=denying+history
>Book is basically your Holocaust Denial 101 course.
>Tells how the holocaust denial movement started, who the key players and organizations are in the game.
>Tells what methods Holocaust deniers use to spin their web of lies and lure in the average /pol/tard
>Has a nice rebuttal section that explains why Holocaust deniers are wrong

Lying About Hitler by Richard Evans
http://www.amazon.com/Lying-About-Hitler-Richard-Evans/dp/0465021530
>Book is about one of the most known Holocaust deniers, David Irving and his lawsuit against an author who called bullshit on Irving's research.
>the book is written by the Historical expert on the topic appointed by the court.
>follows the trial of David Irving's lawsuit, along with showing how Irving and his fellow Holocaust denial "historians" arrive at their conclusions (i.e. purposeful mistranslated, cherrypicking outlying statistical numbers, using a single witness who claims x, and ignoring 15 other witnesses who claim y happened, and outright making shit up)

Both are excellent reads

Only problem I have with holocaust revisionists is that they only focus on the Jew part. Nobody addresses homosexuals, gypsies, and the other undesirables that are said to have been killed.

>>511139
They don't really have a bone to pick with those groups so why would they care about them?

Because that's the primary source for that. Now you're just getting lazy.

Is not valid.

>>512391
He is actually a relatively good historian.

>>512408

Are you talking about Irving or Rosen as a good historian?

There should really be something in the sticky like this.

Not to stifle discussion of the Holocaust, but given the frequency with which poorly-sourced threads are posted "just asking questions" about the official narrative, it would be nice to have a readily available pile of sources to point then to without even leaving the board.

If, after that, they still have questions, then by all means they can make their threads.

I'm not so sure. I had to read "The Destruction of Dresden" as part of something I once wrote up about the air war in general, and it's just bad. "Making shit up and then trying to ignore the letters of eyewitnesses who write you to say they never said what you quoted them in your book" level of bad.

I haven't comprehensively read through all of his stuff, but what I have hasn't exactly led me to conclude he's a good historian at all. At best, I'd say he's a good researcher, and even then, his obvious biases make me look at everything he "uncovers" with a lot of skepticism.

>>511139
People also conveniently forget that "gypsies, homosexuals, the disabled, blacks" were a relatively insignificant fraction of the victims of the Holocaust while suspiciously leaving out the millions of Polish Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christian Slavs of various nationality, which comprised together only slightly less than the total amount of Jews killed.

Mods please sticky this thread, I'm tired of the bait threads.

Those people are clearly not burned. It is
this historical naivety which has let the propaganda of the Holocaust to permeate unchecked.

>>512724

You realize that the Jews call it the Shoah, which means Catastrophe, right?

Bolshevik Revolution and the main financial instigators of WWII.

>>512786
The Bolshevik Revolution was caused by German authorities that paid to ship and arm a sizable Russian Socialist minority that resided in exile in Germany, that, at the time, had the largest Socialist populace in Europe.

And, with WW2's "financial instigation," I think that the main financial motivation may have been Hitler's very short-sighted policy of taking out massive loans, and then forcing the exchange rates on his currency by invading countries and controlling the value of their currency.

Here's a photo of generals Eisenhower and Patton at Ohrdruf. Patton wrote in his diary:

"When we began to approach with our troops, the Germans thought it expedient to remove the evidence of their crime. Therefore, they had some of the slaves exhume the bodies and place them on a mammoth griddle composed of 60-centimeter railway tracks laid on brick foundations. They poured pitch on the bodies and then built a fire of pinewood and coal under them. They were not very successful in their operations because there was a pile of human bones, skulls, charred torsos on or under the griddle which must have accounted for many hundreds. "

The attached photo is of the scene he described.

Of his visit, Eisenhower wrote to the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

"The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said that he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”"

Ha!

>America likewise detained Japs, Germans, and Italians.

And let them out for things like going to college and even joining the army. Clearly, they were comparable institutions.

>Disease spread through camps in WWII, that is were most deaths occurred.

Which is why the Germans needed crematoria for their camps that could incinerate the entire population in a week to a month! Disease was just that bad!

NO NAZI. Ever. Ever. Was a Holocaust denier.

This one, simple fact shows that everything the modern deniers try to claim is a silly contrivance. From 1945 onwards, thousands of Nazis were captured and hundreds tried for their part in the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity. They tried to pretend they were someone else, they tried to pretend they didn't know what was happening, they tried to pretend they didn't have as much to do with it as others, they tried to claim they were just following orders and they tried to justify it as "the kind of thing that happens in war." But what NOT ONE of them EVER did was DENY it happened.

Even men on trial for their lives, in the full knowledge they would be hanged if convicted, never stood up in the courtroom and shouted "This is all a lie! This is a fabrication! There were no gas chambers and no crematoria! I'M BEING FRAMED!!!!" On the contrary, they gave great detail as to precisely how they had helped build and helped run the mechanics of mass murder, some of them even seeming proud of how they had achieved something so complex and on such a vast scale.

>>511139
As a Jew myself it's fucking ridiculous how often we forget about the other 5 million people who where killed along with us. And it's not just ignorance, some of the people in my community get outright offended when you mention the gyspy or Slav deaths because they say it minimizes the Jewish suffering. I mean I love my people and all but this form of victim complex just gets too extreme and only brings hate down on and frankly on matters like this I can see where they're coming from

>>512456
Generally, yeah. The whole red pill thing is just teenagers trying to feel special and enlightened by having contrarian views and frankly I would take anything they say with a grain of salt

>>515818
How are Jews an inferior race? Frankly they've been nothing but successful in the modern era
Also, while the Weimar Republic made a bunch of dumb decisions, it wasn't as bad as you're making it out to be. Its rulers lead it into economic trouble but it's nowhere near close the destruction the Nazi regime brought onto itself. Even if the Jews did somehow cause all the problems the WR had I don't think mustering millions of Jewish and Slavic peasants is an appropriate response. "An eye for an eye" is a fucking retarted school of thought anyway, even if the Jews were that bad at least put the specific ones on trial and punish them appropriately

>>512456
Yes. /pol/ wants to feel special by having some sort of special 'counter knowledge' that gives you the feeling of expertise, without actually putting in the work.

Putting in the work, btw, is one of the easiest ways to tell holocaust denial is bullshit.

The holocaust provoke profound and considered reactions in the fields of theology, philosophy, international law, historiography, etc. etc.

I myself have used Christopher Browning's work on detailed study of the implementation of the holocaust, for statistical insight into other atrocities. He provided an overview of how people would conduct mass murder, statistically, based on a supposedly fictitious event, that then proved useful for studying actual events.

Meanwhile, the only bigger story than the Holocaust would be the Holocaust being a lie. It would be, without a doubt, the largest and most complex scheme in human history.

But Holocaust deniers have produced no great works of philosophy discussing the implications of this, the vast power of organization previously unimaginable, or the nature of evil in light of this. There's been no debates or research among them about how this conspiracy happened, or who was responsible for it. It's literally the biggest story in modern history, and they don't feel it's worth actually studying.

There's been no works of art exploring it, no autobiography about how they've been effected by it.

They have produced nothing. They tell the most astonishing tale in human history, and then they shrug and move on and don't care about it in the least, beyond braying like a jackass about 'muh holohoax.'

Have /pol/ been dealt with the most severe of blows? Well they finally leave this board forever?

>>516895

No. They'll just scream JIDF shilling.

Why is freely discussing holocaust punished by law in many countries? What's the problem with discussing history and asking questions? Are there other historical events you can be punished for talking about?

It's actually the only thing that bothers me in the whole story.
I can tell "gravity doesn't exist" and spouting bullshit and be considered and idiot and go free.
I can tell "we were created by god 4000 years ago and this evolution bullshit is stupid" and be considered an idiot and go free.
Why if I tell "holocaust didn't happen" I'd be fined and have jail time?

>>517195

>Why is freely discussing holocaust punished by law in many countries? What's the problem with discussing history and asking questions?

Because many countries don't have the same American (I'm assuming you're American, anyway) enshrining of free speech values. Causing offense, disturbing the public order are considered ills that suppression and censorship are perfectly valid tools to use.

>Are there other historical events you can be punished for talking about?

Sure there are, although which events varies by where you live.

Why did allies lie at nuremberg trial with the lampshade, shrunken head and soap bars? Why was it shown as proof while it's been proved all of this was bullshit? Why did they need to invent proofs for a trial that happened a couple of years after the facts, with I'm sure a shitload of proofs, papers, orders, lists etc... from the camps.

>>510043
The questing isn't whether it's happened, it's whether the narrative is entirely correct. Not even /pol/ denies that lots of Jewish people died as a direct result of the actions of the German government. They're holocaust revisionists, not "deniers".

>>517223

I've seen people in /pol/ in all apparent seriousness, claim, among other things (Please note that not all claims were from the same posts or posters)

>Fewer than 100,000 people died in the holocaust.
>The deaths were for factors that were completely outside of the control of Nazi Germany, and were not intentional
>Most of the deaths were caused by Allied strategic bombing

>>517221
>Why did allies lie at nuremberg trial with the lampshade, shrunken head and soap bars?

As far as I am aware the soap bars and shrunken heads were shown at Nuremberg by one prosecutor, Thomas Dodd, as a minor point. This whole "The Allies" did it as though it was a collective decision by all the allied nations is silly. And so is the idea that this somehow refutes the entire Nuremberg trial, which had mountains of evidence behind the prosecution, or indeed the entire historical study of the Holocaust.

As far as I know (and I will be happily proved wrong by a source without the above point being incorrect) human lampshades were never shown in the Nuremberg trials at all and where a specific allegation made against one person, Isla Koch, in a separate trial.

The existence of soap made from Holocaust victims, or lampshades or a couple of shrunken heads from Buchanwald is still a matter of historical debate by the way is has not "been proven wrong" and even if they had been did this does not suddenly, by magic, overwhelm all of the other evidence and prove it wrong.

>>519603

The estimates made in the post you replied to were from population figures. They did not come from adding together the death count from individual camps.

>>509527
The number still stands and is slightly higher but the per country totals have been adjusted. For example, the new total for Denmark is 108 Jewish casualties.

This is due to the fact that the Danish Jewish community was exceptionally well integrated and they were evacuated to Sweden before the Nazis could get them.

Fun Fact: Physicist Nils Bohr was among them.

>>519626
>by the way is has not "been proven wrong"
No offense, I dont give a rats ass if youre a history student or a historian but this is not how the legal system works. People are innocent until proven guilty. People dont have to prove that someone was wrongfully accused. Its the other way round. And considering the farce the allies pulled with Majdanek I have a hard time believing any of the so called evidence.

If youre willing to overestimate the amount of victims by 2000% and present that figure as evidence in front of a fucking court, then that should damage your credibility beyond recognition. It doesnt matter if the Nazis killed 50k or 50m, the act it self is what mattered. It was a despicable thing to do and they could have lead the investigation by simply pointing out the nature of the crimes.

But if a group of people is willing to blatantly lie then their evidence becomes worth less than dirt. And thats what the allies did: they lied. Because claiming that 1.5-1.7m people were killed (in Majdanek), while lacking any evidence to support this claim, is nothing but exactly that. A blatant lie.

>>519679

>Why is freely discussing holocaust punished by law in many countries?

I don't think it is a good idea that any country interferes with freedom of speech, however since you are asking for the reason, the reason is that most of those countries have links with the Holocaust and are concerned that Holcaust denial is a tool of Neo-Nazis.

By the way, the two biggest English speaking Western countries, the UK and the US have no laws against Holcaust denial.

>It's actually the only thing that bothers me in the whole story.

This sort of thinking has no place in historical discussion at all. If France decided claiming 2+2=5 was silly and banned it, then it would not make 2+2=5.

The decisions of individual countries in reagrd to their laws has no relevance to the historical evidence.

>>519692
What's with the attitude? He raises a good point. Why not just point at the crimes instead of inventing shit like shrunken heads and jew lampshades?

>>519679

It is you who doesn't grasp how trials work or how the study of history works.

If someone is convicted of murder based on overwhelming evidence one piece of evidence being insubstantial does not negate all the other evidence.

>>519692
What exactly is it youre saying? That blatantly lying is a stressful situation is justified? That knowingly publishing propaganda figures is justified?

You dont fucking say that X were killed when the actual amount was X/20. Because if the figures are this different, then you sure as hell cant claim that you missed a handful of clues. We arent talking about an overestimation of 50-100%. We are talking about an overestimation of TWO THOUSAND PERCENT.

Providing something like that as evidence is goddamn outrageous. If you provide something as evidence then you better make fucking sure that it sticks/is true.

>>519728

I suggest you look at the first dozen or so posts in the thread and start from there.

>>519737

?

Are you referring to you ranting and raving about lying with no evidence? Like I say neither the soap or the heads have been proven wrong. Nor is one prosectuor offering them as one minor piece of evidence something theat disproves the rest of the evidence.

>>519752
>I say neither the soap or the heads have been proven wrong
They dont need to be proven wrong. They need to be proven to have actually existed.

>Nor is one prosectuor offering them as one minor piece of evidence something theat disproves the rest of the evidence
It still shows that a) evidence might have been faked b) evidence might have been created out of thin air (see Majdanek) c) there is a chance that this applies to all evidence.

I get that you dont have the slightest clue how legal investigations work but making forging evidence can kill your trial in almost any civilized nation. Which is just further proof that the Nuremberg trials werent actual trials. They were a circus show that were not handled like a legal process would.

Actually if you are making an accusation of lying rather than merely making a claim that one piece of evidence not being substantial enough proves all of the other evidence wrong then the burden of proof falls on you.

>It still shows that a) evidence might have been faked b) evidence might have been created out of thin air (see Majdanek) c) there is a chance that this applies to all evidence.

No it doesn't. And you simply asserting that to be the case does not make that the case.

>>519814
>Actually if you are making an accusation of lying
Another example of your outstanding reading comprehension skills. You keep spouting that the "soap or the heads have been proven wrong". In reality they have to be proven to exist to be used as evidence in a trial.

I simply implied that lying about one thing drastically increases the probability of them lying about many other things. A liar cant be trusted. Because if he lied once then its pretty clear that there is an agenda that is supposed to be pushed.

If there wasnt then you wouldnt have an incentive to lie or present assumptions and half-truths as facts.

>No it doesn't
From a legal standpoint it does. But as I already pointed out, you dont have the slightest clue how a legal process usually works. Neither do you understand that a perpetrator is innocent until proven guilty. The point is that the Nuremberg trials might have been clattered with lies, as can be seen when looking at the outrageous overestimation of the victims. And dont you dare to say that an estimation of 1.7m dead people is 'a minor piece of a evidence'. The death count was the selling point of the entire trials.

Pointing out the Nazis crimes would have been sufficient. But no, they had to present fake evidence and made up figures. Knowing all of this I am not even surprised that there are nut jobs out there who deny the Holocausts existence and arent questioning the legitimacy of evidence like I am.

>>519814
>Where did you get that idea from?
Because witnesses are unreliable, can lie, and have interests. If testimonies were evidence, I could just go to a court and testify that you're a rapist and have you jailed.

Also, I don't see any proof of the holocaust, gaz chamber and all in the links you gave. It's about castration by x-ray experimentations. The movie shows people who are very slim, it could be due to poor treatments of course, but it could be due to camps being less provided for because of war being lost and bombings, and typhus as often claimed by revisionists.
There got to be registers of prisoners sent to gaz chambers. How did they do to keep track of prisoners still alive? There got to be a real, tangible evidence other than an x ray experimentation and a movie that could be out of context.
Also, I don't see a evidence file group for camps/gaz chambers in the list on your list. Why is it?

>>519870
>I simply implied that lying about one thing drastically increases the probability of them lying about many other things.

There's nothing wrong with my reading comprehension skills.

You have not shown anyone to have lied and the burden of proof falls on you if you want to make a claim anyone has lied.

>>519897

>Because witnesses are unreliable, can lie, and have interests. If testimonies were evidence, I could just go to a court and testify that you're a rapist and have you jailed.

Oh dear. Witness testimonies are the backbone of pretty much every criminal case.

>>You have not shown anyone to have lied and the burden of proof falls on you if you want to make a claim anyone has lied.
And what exactly is it when you claim for 1.7m people to have died in a single death camp (at Majdanek) without any evidence to back it up? What is it if not a blatant lie?

If the actual death-count was 5% of that, then there is no way in hell that they had any evidence to back up their claim. They either rolled a pair of dice or threw a dart. But that estimation sure as hell wasnt based on real world evidence. So I ask you again: what is this if not a blatant lie to further your agenda?

No they arent. They are what opens an investigation but not what makes it a case. A testimony is worthless unless you have actual evidence to back up your claim because its easier to fake than anything else.

>>519934
If you dont even know about the death camp of Majdanek then what the hell are you even arguing with me? Hell, the figures are even metioned on a website as liberal as Wikipedia.

Sorry lad but you have no idea what you are talking about in the slightest.

I highly doubt that any judge from a civilized country has ever convicted someone because a group of people claimed for someone else to have done something without them being able to provide evidence for him to have committed said crime.

Why? Because a testimony doesnt become valuable just because 10 people claim for it to be true. Its still worthless because all of them could be lying. But I welcome you to prove me wrong and show me a few trials that convicted a person because of nothing but testimonies.

No evidence, no weapon, no motive etc. Just the testimonies.

>>519976

If I claim that X people died, while in reality it has only been X/20, then what is it if not a lie? Because apparently I just presented evidence and an estimation without anything to back up either.

That is your own post. It is not a piece of evidence anyone lied it doesn't even have a citation.

Okay, let's rehash a bit here. The study of hisotry is based on looking at primary evidence and then assessing that primary evidence to come to a conclusion about what happened in the past.

It does not involve specualtion piled on argumentation piled on accusation piled on a claim if one piece of evidence is not solid enough every other piece of evidence is wrong.

It does not involve claiming thousands upon thousands of eyewitnesses are liars based on not understanding how criminal trials work.

It does not involve claiming because the Soviets made an overestimation of the death count at any given death camp every population study done, ever, ever, ever are all wrong.

Here is a small fraction of the primary evidence.

Which seems highly unlikely. This rather sounds like there was already evidence, or at least heavy indications that linked them to the crimes, and that his testimony ended up sealing the deal. In which case the testimony was a part of the investigation, not its backbone. Could you provide the transcript for further information regarding the trial because I am pretty sure that youre blatantly lying to support your claim.

A testimony alone is worthless for a very simple reason: human nature. If a testimony alone would be enough to send someone to jail, then there would be a lot more convicts. A testimony isnt evidence, it just adds to it and paints a bigger and more comprehensive picture.

>>520052
>That is your own post. It is not a piece of evidence anyone lied it doesn't even have a citation.
In 1945 the Allies claimed that 1.5m people died at Majdanek
In 2005 the estimated amount of victims is adjusted to 78k

How did they come up with the figure of 1.5m if todays estimation is 78k? And after you answered that question: How is presenting this figure at a trial not blatantly lying about evidence (the figure of 1.5m) since (apparently) they lacked anything to back it up. Unless the 1.422m remains suddenly vanished over the years.

I wont even bother to with the rest of your post because you keep evading the central point and even accused me of denying the Holocausts existence after me (specifically) pointing out that I all I do is question the legitimacy of the evidence and not the existence of the event itself. Get your shit together. English isnt a foreign language to you so you shouldnt have that much trouble comprehending simple English sentences.

See >>509527

>>520089

Not anyone you've responded to, but the general Soviet M.O. for calculating camp deaths was to look at the capacity of the crematoria, figure out how long the camp was in operation, work out the math for how many bodies could be incinerated, and then present that as the number killed.

It's the same way they came up with "Around 4 million" for Auschwitz.

>>509527
Again, evading the central point.

This is the last time I will respond to you since you seem to suffer from some severe mental disability. WHERE did the EVIDENCE for 1.5 MILLION VICTIMS come from, when 60 years later said figure is ADJUST to 78 THOUSAND?

WHERE did the EVIDENCE for the REMAINING 1.422 MILLION VICTIMS come from? Because standing in front of a judge/court, claiming that 1.5m people died when I have NOTHING to back up that claim, is nothing but a lie to further an agenda. Its not proven to be correct. Its not a fact that you can backup with evidence. Its an estimation that might as well have been made up yet you present it like a fact at a trial.

>>520113

No I didnt. Just because something doesnt warrent prosecution it doesnt mean that no evidence existed. You claimed that the entire process and conviction were based on a testimony. I have already proven you wrong in an earlier post so this is just adding to it.

>(n) During the trial proceedings, Federal Court Judge Michael Hogan did not allow time for certain testimonies and evidence into the trail which would exonerate the Hammonds. Federal prosecuting attorney, Frank Papagni, was given full access for six days. He had ample time to use any evidence or testimony that strengthened the demonization of the Hammonds.

There was never any doubt that the family set a fire and there was never any doubt that said fire spread to government land . What needed to be proven was INTENT. Intent was proven on the back of the eye-witness testimony not on physical evidence.

Most evidence requires interpretation. Stop talking about the legal process when you dont have the slightest clue what the fuck youre talking about. Not every piece of evidence is an arrow pointing to the defendant. Whether or not the evidence is enough for a sentence depends on the interpretation of the judge (or in case of your third world legal system a mentally handicapped jury).

Testimony is a form of evidence. You might not think it's particularly trustworthy or weighty evidence, but it is in fact evidence if it's about information relevant to the case at hand.

And in the trial they SPECIFICALLY presented EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONIES.

Not even gonna start on the fact that the destroyed land PHYSICALLY EXISTS, which means that the conviction wasnt solely based on TESTIMONIES. Why do you feel the need to tell me about the definition of English terms when you yourself lack the ability to comprehend basic English sentences?

He claimed that there are people who got convicted based on TESTIMONIES ALONE. I even quote that part in my last post. As a result I presented plenty of evidence that the case he chose as example does not fulfill this criterion. So unless he is able to provide legal evidence that there have been people who got convicted based on nothing but testimonies I stand to be corrected.

But I hardly doubt that such a case exists simply because testimonies alone are worthless.

>>520317
You disingenuous faggot.

>A testimony is worthless unless you have actual evidence to back up your claim because its easier to fake than anything else.
This was your original claim.

What evidence was there in this case other than the testimony of the eyewitness in question to support the claim that the Hammond family set a fire with the aim of maliciously burning down government property?

Let's not get distracted though from the ACTUAL topic of discussion. Since you now seem to acknowledge the validity of eyewitness testimony to buttress state evidence that does not directly support prosecution, do you still claim that the eyewitness testimony which led to convictions at Nuremberg was invalid and should not be considered evidence?

>>520360

>>520381
What are you even aiming at? I neither doubted the existence of concentration camps, death camps or the Holocaust. I simply doubted the legitimacy of the evidence. And that claim has already been proven right by them claiming that 1.5m people died at Majdanek.

Also: I wasnt the guy who started the debate regarding testimonies, I simply added to it. But I guess its too hard to you to tell different posters apart. Which is funny since I even multi quoted on my post.

Point still stands, though. Testimonies alone are worthless. If physical evidence didnt exist people could have claimed to have been gassed an no one would have been convicted. Why? Because they wouldnt have been able to prove it. Since physical evidence existed they had a case, though. Again, the testimony wouldnt be the backbone of the conviction because it alone would mean nothing. Its the physical evidence that decides whether youre convicted or not. The physical evidence is what turns it into a trial, not someone accusing someone of having done something.

>>520397
>No, they present evidence Testimony is a form of evidence. They are not separate things.

Hilarious because you know exactly what I mean, yet still need me to type out 'physically existing evidence' or 'physical evidence' instead of simply saying evidence.

So, I'm apparently supposed to read your mind and figure out what you meant on something other than what you typed? Especially when dealing with a matter of law, which can include such finely hair-splitting differences such as something being a "hearsay exception" vs "not being hearsay" (even though it's an out of court statement being offered to prove the veracity of something mentioned in the statement)

The majority of these refer to the roughly six million jews that lived in the Russian Empire, which is an objective number that just so happens to coincide roughly with the number of jews that died in the holocaust.

That is a website where people ask for legal advice from defense attorneys.

The attorneys on this website seem to believe that this is potentially sufficient evidence for a prosecutor to attain a conviction.

You on the other hand disagree.

>Eyewitness testimony can convict someone, even though there are many scientific studies that show how unreliable and mistaken most eyewitness testimony actually is. You need a lawyer.

>Without knowing more facts one can not predict a specific outcome with any certainty. However, DNA evidence is not required to secure a conviction. People were convicted without any forensic evidence at all for many, many years. The prosecution must convince the fact finder, be it a jury or a judge in a bench proceeding, that there is relevant evidence which establishes beyond a reasonable doubt the elements of the charged crime exist and that the crime was committed by the accused.One way of doing so is with an eye witness to the event(s), provided the eye witness is deemed credible by the finder of fact.

There is no question, in my opinion, that had the additional alibi witnesses who were presented in connection with Rosario's post-conviction motion testified at trial, there is a reasonable probability that the jury's verdict would have been different, satisfying the prejudice prong of the Strickland analysis


Don't forget, you claimed upthread that you did indeed know that there was no substantive difference between physical evidence and testimony, that they're both "evidence". If so, and the trier of fact is satisfied to its veracity, what possible theoretical basis could there be for not convicting solely based on testimony that either the judge or the jury believes is correct? Those are issues of weight, not admissibility; and a trier of fact has almost unlimited latitude to determine the value of any evidence legally presented before him.

Uhem, not him but why exactly couldnt all of them lie to push an agenda? I think youre underestimating human nature.

Before you go there: I dont say that they are lying, I am simply asking you why youre so sure that they couldnt possibly do so. Truth always depends on where youre looking from. Racists for example hardly ever are racist because they chose to be. They were raised this way and for them its the normal way of thinking. The same way you believe in equality even though there being nothing that actually backs it up as being the optimal choice.

After all, its nothing but a mindset and we as society decide whats right or wrong. Nature dictates one law, and one law alone: survival of the fittest.

Human nature and the fact that a testimony can be faked on a whim. Thats why it shouldnt be reliable and just add to the trail, not be its basis and the reason for conviction.

>or the jury believes is correct
A bunch of normal people who arent even capable of objectively judging a situation and are specifically picked because they have certain prejudices. Hell, the entire picking process is a fucking farce. But that just my opinion.

I was thinking it would have to be simplistic, as I don't have any figures for dead body pile density. It's easier if the bodies were considered rectangles, but that might be too simplistic. I could also use an estimated volume of the average person in order to get a rough sum.

>>520872
I'm shit at maths, so in case there is a mistake, my working was (found a site saying a human is 2ft x 2ft x 6ft, so 24 cubic ft) which is 0.679604 cubic metres, X 3000,000 = 2038812. so 0.002038812 of a cubic kilometre. and this is assuming everyone is 6ft.

It depends

When you burn a body a lot of mass is lost. I can't estimate how much but extremely generally speaking when a body is completely burned to ashes you're left with about 5 pounds of ash, and it takes 10 well-burned humans to create, again roughly speaking, a cubic foot of ash.

3,000,000 burned to a crisp humans would make up about 300,000 cubic feet of ash AT THE LEAST.

pic related is an from an infographic about what 10 billion US pennies would look like. The cubic volume of the stacks of pennies shown is about 200,000 cubic feet. add half again to the image and that's what you can estimate 3 million (completely cremated) adults would look like.

It also depends on how we're storing them. Are we just piling them up like sand on a sand dune? Or do we have a certain container we're trying to fill? Depending on how small the footprint is, you may have to take into account the compression of those on the bottom of the pile.

Of course, if they weren't burned down to dust, the adult human body in it's natural form is about two and a half cubic feet, roughly speaking.

Which changes our 300,000 feet^3 to 7,500,000 feet^3

this image which happens to show every penny currently in circulation, measures in at just over 4,000,000 cubic feet, just so you can visualize what kind of mass we're talking about here

again i must say, gross generalization, but this image TWICE is just about what you'd expect 3000000 humans to look like if you could remove all of the empty space caused by clothes, spaces between limbs, etc.

You'd have to be pretty fat in order to be 2' x 2'. I'd say it's more like 1.5' x 1' x 6' area. That would mean you could fit three million bodies in an approximate 1500' x 3000' x 6' area, which is about 1/6th of a square mile. If they were all laid next to eachother, that would mean that you could cover an entire square mile with dead bodies!

A lot of the eye witness testimonies for the holocaust are extremely suspect. Some even having obvious incorrect information like saying cyanide makes a person turn blue.

>>527959

Precisely. It has information as to what was possible to do with cremation all the way back in 1875, close to 70 years before the holocaust, and working with even more primitive technology.

Ergo, your statement up here,

>when modern cremation takes an hour with upgraded furnaces, I definitely would not trust them.

Is enormously misleading. Modern cremation takes so long not because we don't have the technology to burn bodies faster, but because of a whole host of health and safety regulations, mostly involving stuff so that the funeral home doesn't lose ashes, and has a nice urn they can put them in for the grieving family.

If you just wanted to reduce as many bodies to ash as quickly as possible, you can go a lot faster. Therefore, your point that the cremation claims cannot be true because of comparisons to modern cremation practices are nonsense.

>>527974

/pol/'s thought is that Hitler didn't gas them, but he should.

>turning them into fine ash

That is the opposite of what I just said and what was said in the interview.

I just pointed out there is a big difference between putting a body in an industrial oven for 30 mins and then smashing up what remains and chucking it in a truck, which is what the Sonderkommando said in the interview and trying to compare that with spending hours burning bones completely down to fine ash for neat presentation in an urn for relatives, which is what you are trying to compare it to.

>>528045
I was implying that the extra 30-40 minutes in modern cremations was spent going from crumpling remains to fine ash.
It's my fault though, I forgot you kiddies were a little slow :^)

>>528054

Obviously flesh is going to go pretty quickly. It is the bones that take a long time to get into ash.

>>528062
I won't pretend I'm very educated on the matter, but it just seems very unlikely that if they're already at the point that you can just crush them into ashes, it would take another 30-40 minutes without.

Tbh I want to see an order from Hitler commanding the execution of the holocaust.
Otherwise, intentionalism is bunk.

He didn't say "just crush them into ashes" he said "pulverise them" which in normally use of English would mean a fairly crude smashing process.

The photos don't seem to show that the bodies were being turned into fine ash.

>>528082

The intentionalism vs functionalism debate is a different one and is perfectly reasonable, so long as you are not deliberately trying to twist functionalism into Holcaust denial for ideological purposes.

>>528163

Actually no, but it wouldn't make the slightest difference to the validity of the content of my posts if I was.

There is nothing wrong with being Jewish and calling someone a Jew because you think that is an insult and magically discredits their post is disgusting behaviour and doesn't count as a credible argument on /his/

I think the board you are looking for is /pol/

>>528082

>leave a paper trail

i seriosuly doubt he was that stupid

>>509405
Funny how all the denial posts are getting deleted. I guess only one narrative is politically acceptable.

>>528290
No, the shitposting is getting deleted. The few holocaust denial posts that aren't shitposting (including the infographics) haven't been deleted.

>>528290

80% of the posts getting deleted aren't even holocaust-denying, they just have a very slight hint that the poster might hold that belief
If only they started also doing that for anyone from reddit this board would get ten times better

>>528290

Only the ones relating to stupid shit like calling people "shills" or "Jews".

I know it is hard when you have to make a serious argument based on evidence.

>>528326

What self-pitying bullshit. Any reading of the thread can see that is not the case.

>>528367

Oops, sorry anon, this >>528367 was meant for this >>528339

>>528372
Why was this post deleted? >>527962

>>528398

What was the content?

A fascinating primary source with a serious rebuttal.

I can't remember what that post said, exactly, but I was in thread at the time and if I am correct it was some greentext rant about Jews.

>>528398
as the guy who made the post, I made it making fun of this shitpost >>527941 so I'm not sure why it was deleted but not the other one, bit of a bias if you ask me

>>528425
It was just a reply to >>527941 on the same lines

>>528367
It's more that holocaust deniers seem to shitfling a lot more than anyone else. If you can't remain calm, back up your points and explain them then you should expect to have your post removed

>>528447

I agree, see >>528372

>>528442

Neither of you should be shitposting. You should have ignored or reported the other post.

This is NOT /pol/ with dates.

...while you busy trying to discredit a legitimate source with a bit of silly greentext and saying "oy vey".

Here's a pastebin of all OP's links

Which one of these has to do with the camps though?

The only documentation that I'm aware of from any of the camps are the Aushwitz death certificates which are pretty much what you would expect from a concentration camp.

There are some samples on the bottom of the page

>>528731

OP here, thanks, dude. Please could you remove the IHR and the live science link, they are not from me and are a bit dodgy.

The Sturdy-Colls report quoted in live science is not that awesome and the IHR link is something from a Holocaust denial website.

>industrial oven

Who the hell are you kidding? There were no industrial ovens, they're normal cheep looking peices of crap, all the camps had them. There was nothing industrial about them even at the time period

>>528788
>The Sturdy-Colls

That's been exposed as a hoax. I mean the sheer dishonesty of that person and her documentary catapulted me so much to the revisionist side I don't think nothing will be able to convince me now

>>528792

It has not been exposed as a "hoax" anywhere but in the minds of nutty Holocaust deniers, but is not solid enough and if I learned one thing about discussing this issue is that Holcaust deniers have the mindset that if one piece of evidence is not substantial enough they can declare it a "lie" that discredits "the narrative" because they have no idea what the study of history involves.
