I'm not a holocaust denier but there are some incredibly strange things and definitely lies about some of it. The thing I have issues struggling with lately is anytime we say 7 or 10 or 20 or 50 million people died in some historical event no one remembers. It is almost unfathomable how many people that is and I'm really starting to wonder if a lot of that is "rough estimates" that could be wildly off
Strange like... you're set on world domination, so you're going to commit war time resources (ie, fuel for MULTIPLE crematorium) to kill people you could just shoot and bury?
Or strange like, where are the bones? Just skulls alone of 6M people would BLANKET multiple football fields, up to your head in depth. That's just the skull. 1/10th a body's mass of bone. The burial pits for the entire skeleton would be immense!
Crematorium burnt the bones to dust? So, they used EVEN MORE fuel to burn up bodies they could have just buried??? It takes so, so many hours to burn a body to dust, with the equipment that was available in the 40s.
Or strange like... they would have been burning bodies until the 1990s... no way to burn up 6M people in the span of the war. It's not an easily parallelable process.
Or strange like... those tattoo'd numbers... did they give up handing out numbers at some point? I really only remember 5 and 6 digit numbers. Anyone seen a 7 digit number starting with 5?
Don't you need 7 digits to track 6M people? Wouldn't you be able to find at least 4 million people with 7 digit numbers?
I saw a pic the other day of a box of gold wedding rings the Nazis confiscated. And then they just.. threw them in a box for keepsakes. There's also that famous picture of shoes left behind. Same thing - maybe I'm just frugal, but you wouldn't leave that stuff sitting around.
And there was a census of jews prior to WWII and then after. The numbers actually increased IIRC.
Besides that - maternity wards, swimming pools, healthcare, etc.
Sauce, please.

I'm too lazy to sauce the rest of it, but if you hang around you'll run into people much smarter than me here.
