I saw a lot of counternarrative posts recently on Twitter about Auschwitz having a swimming pool/movie theater/arts theater/maternity ward/orchestra, library etc.
For heterodox people pushing that the camps weren't as bad as history tells us, what is their ultimate position?
That less died than reported?
That industrial scale extermination didn't happen at all?
If industrial scale extermination were the goal, they would have simply left the cattle car doors locked for the three days it takes to die from dehydration, instead of wasting time and money building camps while short on resources. The official narrative is simply full of plot holes and hard to believe.
That's the critical meme to me. The narrative see-saws between "ruthless insanely perfect efficiency is the onlyvway they pulled this part off" and "they did this part as inefficiently as possible for no reason"

That these camps were simply holding facilities?
