It was pretty easy to jump on the band wagon and become a holocaust denier, because it seemed so obvious. Not to mention them darned Jews, right? But something never sat right with me, something along the lines of if it was so obvious why are deniers a minority.
So I did a bunch of research independent of any forums, because let's face it any one on a forum already has an axe to grind.
In the end I really did have to agree that:
-
Deniers cherrypick. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of war related documentation there is available and deniers only ever seem to use the few bits that suit their purpose, and then they beat that like a kettle drum.
-
Overwhelming evidence about the gas chambers NOT being gas chambers turned out to not be so overwhelming afterall. Again deniers seem to only use evidence or methodology that suited their objectives.
So either the Jewish conspiracy is so huge and well funded that they are able to perpetuate a hoax of a scale grander than I can even imagine. Or there actually is a lot of truth there. I do remain open to any new information on or approaches to the subject however.
Anyhow, am I the only one?

You have found evidence that supports 6 million?

Only that the official narrative -- ie. 6 mill give or take -- seems well supported, certainly better supported than the opposing view that's it's only 300K or whatever. If I'm being lied to I have no way of knowing, but that applies to both sides.

Seems well supported.
Do you even know why it had to be 6 million?
GoddammitMrNoodle ago
Yeah I've heard the 6 million number thing before. I really don't know what to think of it. If someone wants to claim that it's just more proof that the Holocaust is a hoax then power to them, but I'm no longer prepared to do that.
