Is there any proof the holocaust even happened?

Question

Is there any proof the holocaust even happened?

Answer 1

Literally tons and tons of it.



There are the huge volume of reports from units in the field, like the Einstatzgruppen. There are administrative records from the various death camps. There are the drawings and plans for the gas chambers, there are cans of Zyklon B, the poison used to murder folks in the camps. There is the sworn testimony of many dozens of the camp guard force, the Nazi leadership and German civilians from the Nuremberg Trials, there is the physical and photographic evidence from the Allied soldiers who liberated those camps. There is the testimony of the survivors of those camps. There is the barrels full of gold filling found in Nazi treasure stashes, all of which are easily traceably to the death camps.



Slick, there's less evidence that Donald Trump ever ran for President than there is to show that the Nazi state slaughtered 9 million innocent people.

Answer 2

Really? Read a book please

Answer 3

You mean besides videos, pictures, paintings, drawings, memoirs, letters, diaries, state documents, eye witness accounts, mass graves, death camps...stuff like that ? 

Answer 4

Oh plenty, plenty, only a moron now denies the holocaust.

Answer 5

Bad Arolsen is full of documents proving it.

Answer 6

Disease epidemics took a major toll on the German camps.





No homicidal gas chambers in areas liberated by the Western allies. Soviets claimed there were homicidal gas chambers in areas liberated by the Soviets. No follow-up investigation by the Western allies - they took the word of the German-hating Communists.





Photos that claim to "prove" gas chambers but contain no supporting evidence of even being associated with gas chambers.





Accounts of gas chambers by eyewitnesses who had every reason to lie against the Germans. Accounts of NO gas chambers by eyewitnesses liberated from the same camps - all of which are suppressed so as not to conflict with the gas chamber agenda.





Not a single reference to exterminating Jews in either volume of Mein Kampf. No supporting evidence in the Wannsee Protocol (the "Final Solution") other than a few lines twisted out of context by a few - when nothing else in the entire document supports this lame context.



Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin already had 50,000 German staff officers symbolically "convicted" and "executed" at the Tehran Conference in 1943. The 1945 Nuremberg Trial was a kangaroo court conducted by Germany's enemies - where a fair trial was impossible. The 8-panel of judges consisted of 2 judges each from the US, UK, USSR, & France - to ensure their guilt.

Answer 7

Somebody asks this question about once a fortnight. Why not look first at FAQs before posting about it AGAIN???

Answer 8

Yes. Lots of proof

Answer 9

only a damn fool would ask such a question

Answer 10

Eyewitnesses accounts.

Survivor testimony.

Confessions of the perpetrators.

Mass graves.

Millions and millions of people disappearing.

Letters and documents written by Nazis outlining their plans.

Photos of victims being shot and abused.

Minutes of the Wanessee conference where the Nazis discuss the Final Solution.

The existence of the death camps including the crematoria.

Etc etc.



Most of the time, a question like this is written by a Holocaust denier, who then awards best answer to a fellow Holocaust denier. Let’s hope you are not one of them.

Answer 11

Yes. They are people still living who can testify about it. There is also pictures and video.

Answer 12

I was routinely abducted and sent to holocaust camps in the U.S., Europe, Mongolia, China, and Russia, from 1981 to 1987.  Most of this stuff was recorded at Alexandria in visa telephone raw wave.  Just ask, is all they ever say.  But, Hubble Telescope and Realistic Floating Skylab captured most of it.

Answer 13

Hello,



The reader may find it interesting that anti-Semites choose to question the Holocaust or question the Holocaust by disputing its Jewish casualty figures, yet they do not question for example, other likewise well-documented facts like the Second World War!



Although due to anti-Jewish hatred, holocaust-deniers deny the holocaust despite the abundance of evidence to prove it, when the Nazi witnesses were giving evidence at the Nuremberg Trials, they did NOT deny the Holocaust. Rather, they simply matter-of-factly described all the details.



The Nazis were meticulous in keeping written records about the crimes against humanity they were committing, which were compiled by Nazi functionaries as they carried out their work. The majority of this abundance of paperwork-evidence was recovered by the Allies after the war:

You may not be surprised that the Nazis wrote their meticulous records in German! Translations of many documentary evidence are available, but for German speakers here is an example:

Germans Forced To View Nazi atrocities at Buchenwald Concentration Camp, Ettersberg, Germany, April 16, 1945:

The following film (of 2 minutes, 46 seconds duration) is free of charge to view - Just click its Start button located in the center of its screen; and I would also suggest you click its full-screen button. (The German civilians are seen starting at one minute, seven seconds into the video):

Why were many Nazis tried at Nuremberg willing to give all the details when asked, rather than denying it all? Many were functionaries proud of doing their job “well” (as they saw it), and in obeying orders with which they in any event agreed, while simply having no empathy for their victims.



The following extracts of evidence concern the Auschwitz concentration camp, but there were of course many other concentration camps. They describe the situation at Auschwitz up to 1 December 1943, and bear in mind that the war did not end until 1945.

EXTRACTS FROM the evidence of Rudolf Hoess:



Nuremberg Trial Proceedings Volume 11



ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH DAY

Monday, 15 April 1946



Morning Session





THE PRESIDENT:

Stand up. Will you state your name?



RUDOLF FRANZ FERDINAND HOESS (Witness):

Rudolf Franz Ferdinand Hoess.





DR. KAUFFMANN:

Yes.

[Turning to the witness] From 1940 to 1943, you were the Commander of the camp at Auschwitz. Is that true?



HOESS:

Yes.



...



Dr. Kauffmann:

And after the arrival of the transports were the victims stripped of everything they had? Did they have to undress completely; did they have to surrender their valuables? Is that true?



Hoess:

Yes.





Dr. Kauffmann:

And then they immediately went to their death?



HOESS:

Yes.



...



Dr. Kauffmann:

And then, you told me the other day, that death by gassing set in within a period of 3 to 15 minutes. Is that correct?



HOESS:

Yes.



...



COL. AMEN:

I ask that the witness be shown Document 3868-PS, which will become Exhibit USA-819.

[The document was submitted to the witness.]



COL. AMEN:

You signed that affidavit voluntarily, Witness?



HOESS:

Yes.





COL. AMEN:

And the affidavit is true in all respects?



HOESS:

Yes.





COL. AMEN:

This, if the Tribunal please, we have in four languages.

[Turning to the witness.] Some of the matters covered in this affidavit you have already told us about in part, so I will omit some parts of the affidavit. If you will follow along with me as I read, please. Do you have a copy of the affidavit before you?



HOESS:

Yes.





COL. AMEN:

I will omit the first paragraph and start with Paragraph 2:



“I have been constantly associated with the administration of concentration camps since 1934, serving at Dachau until 1938; then as Adjutant in Sachsenhausen from 1938 to 1 May 1940, when I was appointed Commandant of Auschwitz.



I commanded Auschwitz until 1 December 1943, and estimate that at least 2,500,000 victims were executed and exterminated there by gassing and burning, and at least another half million succumbed to starvation and disease making a total dead of about 3,000,000.



This figure represents about 70 or 80 percent of all persons sent to Auschwitz as prisoners, the remainder having been selected and used for slave labor in the concentration camp industries; included among the executed and burned were approximately 20,000 Russian prisoners of war (previously screened out of prisoner-of-war cages by the Gestapo) who were delivered at Auschwitz in Wehrmacht transports operated by regular Wehrmacht officers and men.



The remainder of the total number of victims included about 100,000 German Jews, and great Numbers of citizens, mostly Jewish, from Holland, France, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Greece, or other countries. We executed about 400,000 Hungarian Jews alone at Auschwitz in the summer of 1944.”



That is all true, Witness?



HOESS:

Yes, it is.

From the statement of Hans Stark, registrar of new arrivals, Auschwitz.

Quoted in “The Good Old Days” - E. Klee, W. Dressen, V. Riess, The Free Press, NY, 1988, p. 255:



“At another, later gassing--also in autumn 1941--Grabner* ordered me to pour Zyklon B into the opening because only one medical orderly had shown up. During a gassing Zyklon B had to be poured through both openings of the gas-chamber room at the same time. This gassing was also a transport of 200-250 Jews, once again men, women and children. As the Zyklon B--as already mentioned--was in granular form, it trickled down over the people as it was being poured in. They then started to cry out terribly for they now knew what was happening to them. I did not look through the opening because it had to be closed as soon as the Zyklon B had been poured in. After a few minutes there was silence. After some time had passed, it may have been ten to fifteen minutes, the gas chamber was opened. The dead lay higgledy-piggedly all over the place. It was a dreadful sight.



* Maximillian Grabner, Head of Political Department, Auschwitz”.

I would also mention the Soviet casualties:

We must never forget the heroic contribution of the Soviet Red Army in fighting the Nazis, and the sacrifices of the Soviet / Russian population, made in World War 2 - the Soviet Great Patriotic War. Without the Soviet contribution, the liberation of France would not have been possible.





I hope this helps.

Answer 14

Did you know we're all REALLY SICK of these interminable stupid questions by gutless coward "Anon." blueface trolls?

Answer 15

You weren't there, were you?

Answer 16

Dave, once more you repeat your claim that there are numerous accounts from prisoners liberated from the extermination camps which deny the presence of gas chambers. Once again you don't quote one. So can you produce a list?

You say: "Disease epidemics took a major toll on the German camps."

Of course they did. And in the ghetto prisons. And if the Nazis had not filled the camps and the ghettos with millions of innocent people, arrested without charge, imprisoned without trial, starved, ill treated and kept in filthy conditions the epidemics could never have taken hold

And don't claim that the starvation was the fault of the Allies - you have had ample evidence of the starvation rations allotted to the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1941

The Wannsee Protocols - the document is quite short. Read it and see that Dave is lying about the contents.

https://www.yadvashem.org/docs/wannsee-conference-protocol.html

And finally - Dave you announced that a quote from Hitler making his plans for the Jews quite clear was 'a fabrication'. You have never given any evidence for this. Where is it?

You also say that there are no photographs of the gas chambers in operation. The fact that the victims were immediately burned, and their bones reduced to fragments and the Sonderkommando who did this were regularly murdered and replaced suggests that the Nazis were trying to suppress all evidence of their operations.

Why would they have taken photographs?

Answer 17

Yes, much of it provided by records kept by your fellow Nazis themselves.

Answer 18

Lots of graves, death camps, and some survivors, tattooed like animals. Then there's the films the troops took, and the German bureaucracy which records the deaths. If you look, there's plenty of proof.

Answer 19

No proof that you have a brain.

Answer 20

No, it was entirely a globalist conspiracy
