First let’s start with this; I am no Historical expert or Historian on this subject, era or interest. The Holocaust is not a subject I have delved deeply into before nor do I consider myself strong with religion. I have simply compiled what I know with researched material easily and readily available on-line, through books, libraries and achieves. I’m doing this because of multiple so called Historical fact-based articles or truth seeking theories I’ve read have left me rather confused, bemused and worried by the Truly Racist (in my opinion) and blatant propaganda seemingly spreading un-opposed.
You may agree or disagree… that is of course our choice were all free to make. Please do so.

The word "anti-Semitism" is inadequate. A misnomer; a interpretation that is known to be untrue. The word was coined in 1879 from the Greek words "anti", meaning "against" and "Semite", meaning a descendant of Shem. The word was first used by Wilhelm Marr a German agitator, who created it to explain the current anti-Jewish campaigns in Europe at the time. Since the Arab peoples are also Semitic it is not the best expression. Anti-Jewish, and Jew- hatred, are more descriptive. It is more than just prejudice. The word came into general use in the past hundred years and encompasses all forms of hostility manifested toward Jews throughout history.
The denier’s basic belief is that the "myth" of the Holocaust is a way for organized world Jewry to gain sympathy and financial support for the Zionist cause “international political movement that originally supported the reestablishment of a homeland for the Jewish People in Palestine.” and to render them immune from criticism. The deniers also claim that the Allies atrocities during the Second World War were just as bad, if not worse than the Nazis atrocities, Too that It Was Impossible to Kill 6 Million People at Auschwitz and often claim that since more hydrocyanic compounds were found in the delousing chambers than in the ruins of the so-called "extermination" chambers at Auschwitz, and the reverse would be true if people were actually gassed there, it is clear to them that no mass gassings occurred. We could go on but I’ll stop here with this… that Hitler did not want war and did not order the extermination of the Jews in Europe. And that those Ann Franks diaries were handwritten by someone else at a time after her death.
The evidence for the atrocities, the Holocaust is overwhelming. The countless photographs (most of them taken by Nazi SS and military personnel), testimonies of survivors, and Allied liberators as well as from Nazi documentation media and their war-time propaganda films all prove that this mass genocide took place. Deniers call themselves "revisionist historians." I think their express purpose is to alter documented historical fact. In the process, they turn scholarship into mockery, transforming truth into a make-believe fantasy spawned from unmitigated cynicism. They use the resulting misinformation to spread their anti-Jewish beliefs to the general public. Moreover, their theories, derived from blatant fabrication of data, misquotations, and quotations used out of context, are presented under the deceptive mask of scholarship and are made available to the world by way of the Internet, radio, and television.
To this day Documents demanding the annihilation of the European Jews are being discovered in Russian archives. Hitler's intentions, as outlined in his various speeches, written orders, and in his own book Mein Kampf ‘My Struggle.’ were obvious. His obsession with war was also plain. Hitler raved incessantly about a "Holy War," "preparing for war," and a "plan for the next war"
Denier’s philosophy is that there is a moral equivalence between the wartime actions of the Allies, which may have resulted in civilian deaths, such as the bombing of Dresden. One of the most prominent American "revisionist" historians, Harry Elmer Barnes claimed that: the atrocities of the Allies in the same period were more numerous as to victims and were carried out for the most part by methods more brutal and painful than alleged extermination in gas ovens... Barnes failed to note the difference between war casualties and the mass murder of the millions of non-combatant people. The Jews of Europe never declared a fight against Hitler in his "Holy War," although he vowed to annihilate them. War between armed military entities is of course terrifyingly devastating and brutal but it is not genocide, therefore Nazi atrocities are not comparable to the war action of the Allies. It is inappropriate to even compare the two.
Hydrogen cyanide (or Prussic acid) is a chemical compound with chemical formula HCN. A solution of hydrogen cyanide in water is called hydrocyanic acid. Hydrogen cyanide is extremely poisonous, and highly volatile liquid that boils slightly above room temperature at 26 °C
A hydrogen cyanide concentration of 300 mg/m3 in air will kill a human within about 10 minutes. It is estimated that hydrogen cyanide at a concentration of 3500 ppm (about 3200 mg/m3) will kill a human in about 1 minute. Hydrogen cyanide (under the brand name Zyklon-B) was used at Auschwitz as a delousing agent, commonly used and was thus readily available. The Nazis had experience in its safe use which made it even more attractive. Zyklon-B, a powerful insecticide releases HCN, Hydrogen cyanide. Zyklon-B is the carrier; HCN is what causes death. To say this is JUST a disinfectant used to kill off lice in clothing and empty barracks and therefore harmless is quite unbelievable.
There were two types of gas chambers in Auschwitz: those used for delousing clothes "delousing gas chambers" and those used for killing people on a massive scale "extermination gas chambers". The delousing gas chambers were a standard feature, and were left intact by the SS (as opposed to the extermination gas chambers, which were dynamited in an effort to conceal criminal activity from the rapidly approaching Soviet Army). The deniers try to confuse the issue by mixing the two types of chambers. For instance, they show pictures of the doors for the delousing chambers, and note that they are too weak to withstand the pressure of people trying to escape. Of course, the doors for the extermination chambers were completely different, but that fact is quietly overlooked. One gas chamber, Krema 2, about 210 square meters (2220 square feet) in area, easily accommodated a few hundred people, who were crammed into it. Fifteen furnaces, each capable of incinerating at least 3 bodies in 45 minutes, could dispose of at least 720 bodies in a 12-hour day. In a single year, Krema 2 could incinerate over a quarter-million bodies. Add that to the capabilities of Kremas 3, 4, and 5, and you begin to get the picture.
The walls of the extermination gas chambers were in contact with HCN for a much shorter time then those of the delousing chambers, humans as opposed to lice, and because of the far shorter exposure time required, the HCN in the gas chambers used to kill humans hardly had time to form chemical compounds on the walls. Not to forget that for the last 45 years the ruins of Krema 2 for example are covered with about three feet of water during certain periods of the year, and HCN compounds would eventually dissolve under such conditions, exposed to the weather and elements such as rain, acid oxides, especially sulfuric and nitrogen oxides, the delousing rooms on the other hand were not. This fact that all, or most, of the compounds would vanish during 45 years of exposure - is quite clearly stated in the report written by the experts at the Cracow Institute of Forensic Research, which as it happens isn’t being withheld from the public!
No one claims that 6 million people died at Auschwitz. Many died in other death camps, in the ghettos and in occupied Soviet territory. Estimates of the number of people who were gassed to death in Auschwitz vary, but the lowest is 900,000, and the highest about 1,600,000. It is naive at best, and contemptuously dishonest, to claim that such a number of crematoriums were provided for anything other than the disposal of bodies created by the mass murder of helpless victims. Lastly, two other gassing installations existed in Auschwitz, the so-called "Bunker 1" and "Bunker 2". They were also demolished by the fleeing SS.
The total number of Jews that were exterminated is thought to be 5,721,500. Some estimates are lower, and some are higher, but these are the magnitudes in question. Recent evidence shows that the number of ex-USSR victims was actually underestimated and about 6 million non-Jewish civilians were killed by the Nazis - mostly in Poland and Yugoslavia.
In 1981, the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation submitted Anne Frank's handwritten diaries to the Dutch State Forensic Science Laboratory of the Ministry of Justice to determine their authenticity. The State Forensic Science Laboratory examined the materials used-the ink, paper, glue, etc.-and the handwriting and issued a report of some 270 pages. "The report of the State Forensic Science Laboratory has convincingly demonstrated that both versions of the diary of Anne Frank were written by her in the years 1942 to 1944.
So not a fake then!
A proposition which can be proved by evidence is not subject to dispute, denial or rejection; no one but the ignorant would contradict it, and such contradiction is called 'denial of demonstrated proof.' Facts are only doubted by those who ignore things fully proved.
