I have always said that people don't realize how many a million is. It is simply not logistically feasible to kill - not to mention dispose of, which takes orders of magnitude longer - 6+ million people in the span of half a decade.

You can argue about how blue the sky is, how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, or how many ovens the Nazis had and when they had them. But the math just doesn't work out.

For example assume we go with "only" 6 million. Then we assume NO startup time, the camps and all their facilities, as well as the transported prisoners pop into existence all the way back in 1939. Even under that completely unrealistic scenario you are talking about 2700 people a day: 114 people an hour 24 hours a day, day in, day out, every single day for 2200 days straight - in time of war , not missing one single hour for broken equipment, delayed trains, or ANY other reasons.

Conceptually it is possible. But mathematically it is vanishingly unlikely.

I wrote my comment before reading this one, and I used the exact same word: logistics. That is literally all it takes to debunk this absurd Talmudic fiction.

Speaking of logistics, it'd be ten times easier using only a bullet to the head. Why waste resources shipping them and holding them just for them to be murdered anyway?

In heavily antisemetic areas, like ukraine and lithuania, that is what they did, with local help. In more civilized areas they did not want to spook people, plus people holding out hope that they were just being robbed and relocated were more compliant. Himmler himself said he chose Auschwitz as his place for executing his final solution.

because apparently they wanted to 'cover their tracks' by building a literal train track pointing directly to the crime scene. How fiendishly clever.

There were concentration camps in Germany where undesirables were separated from the population, but the same was true in the US and even Canada, a fact casually brushed aside by (((historians))).
