3. Fact: Numbers

4. Fact: Numbers
Where does the 6 million come from?

5. Fact: The Numbers Don’t Add Up
By Jennifer Lipman, December 22, 2010
Two-thirds of the Jewish victims of the Nazis have now been identified.
Since the Holocaust ended, there has been an ongoing effort to identify the six
million Jews and millions more non-Jewish people slaughtered by the Nazis.
But 65 years on, there are still two million whose identities are not known.
Although the Nazis kept meticulous records during the Holocaust, many
documents were destroyed during the war and whole families were wiped out.
Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum is dedicated to finding the names of as
many as possible.
The museum said this week that an online database containing the names of
victims now includes the records of four
million people – one
million more than when it was launched in 2004.

6. Fact: The Numbers Don’t Add Up

“A Catalogue of Genocide”
With the introduction of the $22 million database, contributors can
sit down at a computer, type the address into a Web browser, enter
the database and click on "submit new pages of testimony."
Up comes a form for the victim's name or names, place of
birth, profession, wartime "travails"
(deportation, ghetto, camp, death
march, hiding, escape, resistance), approximate age at death and
other details.

7. Fact: The Numbers Don’t Add Up
• Significant variation in estimation of number
of Jewish deaths ‘39-’45 ~1.5m – 12m+
• It is a fact of war that many lives are lost
• We have little factual evidence to support 3m,
let alone 6m

8. Fact: The Leuchter Report

9. Fact: The Leuchter Report
“Scientific investigation into the feasibility of mass homicidal
gassings at Nazi concentration camps”
Main Premise: If these gassings took place to such a
magnitude, there should still be some trace of the gas in the
chamber walls 43 years later.
Science tells us that this would be the case.

10. Fact: The Leuchter Report

11. Facts: The Leuchter Report
• Zyklon B is the trade name for Hydrogen Cynanide
• Poisonous and explosive gas
• “Used at Auschwitz Birkenau, Majdanek, Sachsenhausen”

12. Findings: The Leuchter Report
The gas chambers were just too close to the crematoria for an
explosive gas like Zyklon B to be deployed in such quantities.

13. Findings: The Leuchter Report
Scientific fact disproves the Zyklon B theory.
From 31 samples in Kremas 1-5 at Auschwitz-Birkenau, almost all
tested negative for the presence of Zyklon B.
The ones that did were close to 1mg/kg.
If the gas chambers were used as claimed, it should be at least
1050mg/kg, probably much higher.

14. Conclusion: The Leuchter Report
“After reviewing all of the material and inspecting all of the sites at
Auschwitz Birkenau and Majdanek, your author finds the evidence
as overwhelming. There were no execution gas chambers at any
of these locations.”
“The alleged gas chambers at the inspected sites could not have
then been, or now, be utilised or seriously considered to function
as execution gas chambers.”
Scientific fact does not support the gas chambers premise.

15. Fact: Testimony Isn’t Reliable
John Demjanjuk, 90, second from right, is taken from his home in Seven Hills, Ohio
by immigration agents, Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Demjanjuk is being deported to
Germany to face charges he was a guard at Nazi death camps.

16. Fact: Testimony Isn’t Reliable
John/Ivan Demjanjuk
Accused by Israelis in 1986 of war crimes
Deported to Israel and sentenced to death
based on his identification by ‘survivors’.
In 1993 his conviction was overturned by
the Israeli Supreme Court.
Five Israeli Supreme Court judges ruled that survivor testimony was not
reliable enough evidence to be used.
…Conscience?

17. Fact: Holiday Camp
Auschwitz had a swimming pool…
and a brothel… and a bar.
Does that happen in many extermination camps?

18. Fact: Nazi Orders
There was not one direct order signed by any of the Nazi
hierarchy that called for the extermination of the Jews.
Across: A signed order to “euthanize” the handicapped

19. Convinced?

20. Truth: Leuchter Report
Leuchter purposely overlooked one key fact.

21. Truth: Leuchter Report
Leuchter purposely overlooked one key fact.
The victims weren’t poisoned…

22. Truth: Leuchter Report
Leuchter purposely overlooked one key fact.
The victims weren’t poisoned…
…They were asphyxiated
Poisoning was far too expensive and too dangerous.
So… the gas chambers could be next to the crematoria
and after 43 years there would be no remnants of Zyklon B gas
(especially considering the extreme Polish weather).

23. Truth: Leuchter Report
PLUS
- Leuchter was not a toxicologist
- He did not have an engineering degree as claimed
- He lied under oath about his credentials
- His entire findings were labelled “ridiculous” and
“preposterous” by a Judge in the Zundel trial.

24. Truth: The Six Million
Claims leveled by deniers are sweeping statements – trying to
piece together a genocide on this scale is virtually impossible.
Yad Vashem started with 1 million names – from Nazi records.
This grew to 2 million through survivor testimony (etc.).
The Russian authorities handed over 1.5 million more in 1990s.
This latest 1.5 million is the culmination of 15 years work.

25. Truth: The Six Million
Ayatollah of the RAF: Nazi gas
chambers were British propaganda
By IAN GALLAGHER Last updated at 11:42
AM on 7th August 2011
Dr Hayward has previously appeared to
claim that far fewer Jews were killed by the
Nazis than generally thought and that the
gas chambers of the Holocaust were British
propaganda.
In another article recently he likened
Churchill to Mohammed.

26. Truth: Survivor Testimony
The Israeli Supreme Court ruled that
survivor testimony was not reliable…

27. Truth: Survivor Testimony
The Israeli Supreme Court ruled that
survivor testimony was not reliable…
40 years after the event.

28. Truth: Camp Luxuries
There was a swimming pool, brothel and bar in the camp.
… to motivate the Kapos and Nazis.

29. Truth: Nazi Orders
Mein Kampf?
Neuremburg Laws?
Hitler’s speeches?
Wannsee Conference 1942?
There was no one single order to eradicate the Jews
…but we have the facts to prove it happened

32. Why?
Delegitimisation
