The degree to which democrats have lied about January 6th has made me much more open to Holocaust denial.
The official figures are as easy to dispute as pointing out that there's no way to burn that many bodies that fast.
What likely happened is they simply took large numbers of Jews as political prisoners and as the war effort soured their ability to sustain the camps diminished, which resulted in the most prisoner deaths (which probably only broke into the hundreds of thousands, if that). They weren't actually coming up with Rube Goldberg contraptions to execute Jews with, much less burning millions of corpses.
They were taking political prisoners, however. That much is undeniable. It was an authoritarian regime but so much about it has been completely blown out of proportion.
If you don't know what the Holocaust is, sure.
I can't believe I have to do this again, but if you're saying "6 million Jews 7 furnaces", then you literally have no idea what the Holocaust is or how it happened.
You must have a basic, elementary, level grasp on the topic in order to dispute it.
They claim that 1.1 million people were killed in gas chambers by using a pellet based insecticide. Where are the piles of bodies, the ashes? And no, using Soviet accounts is not reliable.
Whatever "original claim"? Concentration camp was always the official name. Extermination camp was the unofficial name, the whole operation was secret. The official purpose was these were just transit camps in the "resettlement to the East". They were also told they were being sent to work.
The reason why Poland, besides the place that had most Jews in the world so logistic side was obvious, was that Poland (like I just mentioned in https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/12jJUaaUH1/x/c/4JAfAZNrtzc) just didn't exist at all anymore, and so it was a "black hole" where neither German nor any other laws applied.
(Actually the Americans later used a similar logic to set up the X-Ray Camp not anywhere on the American soil but at Guantanamo Bay in a legal loophole.)
In the USSR they needed no camps to rid of the Jews because they just either shot them or instigated the locals to pogroms. But they took many of the Soviet POWs to Poland in order to to kill them, including at the newly build Birkenau Camp that later became Auschwitz II (http://auschwitz.org/en/history/categories-of-prisoners/soviet-pows/).
No, they claim that 1.1 million people died at Auschwitz during the entirety of it's operation, in total. Gas Chambers, shootings, starvation, disease, etc.
Obviously the Soviet numbers aren't reliable, the did some 'back of the envelope' math and didn't even bother to consider maintenance windows, which is why the Camp Commandant of Auschwitz had to correct them at Nuremberg in his own trial.
Where's all the ash from my fire place?
I have a chimney. That's where a portion of it goes. The hotter I burn it, the less ash will be left over. For the remainder that I do have, I can literally just toss it out as fertilizer. Steel nails and all. The ash will get absorbed relatively quickly, and dispersed very easily.
I've been burning wood for decades. There are no visible ash piles anywhere on my property, good lord, why would there be. It snows and rains and ash is light.
If I really cared and wanted to bury it, I could do that too and really nothing would be damaged or altered.
