Yeah he believes millions were gassed at the Reinhard camps, and much less at AuschwitzFucking hell. I listened to the whole video. You said that irving said he believed millions were gassed.
I quote:
"From his writings it doesn't seem to be a very frequent operation. Just now and again. When a trainload came and they had unusable jews aboard. So these gassings did occur. If you don't believe these papers are fake and I don't believe for a moment that they are fake. The gassings did occur at auschwitz. But on nothing on the like of scale that gives power to the legend now."
You have given two sources of evidence for this statement and neither have supported the idea that he believes millions were gassed. The first source was where he explicitly said the gassings at auschwitz were hugely exaggerated in popular perception and the second source he says explicitly that it can not be proven to have happened by gassing.Yeah he believes millions were gassed at the Reinhard camps, and much less at Auschwitz

And in the same video he gives numbers for the people coming into these "extermination centers", more than 2 million between 42 and 43in the time stamp I provided he says "What do I as a real historian fearlessly believe at this stage? I believe the gassings did take place, but the whole thing was an ad hoc operation ... except at the three Reinhard camps which were built as extermination centers"
your mind is clearly warped sorrySomehow these two sources together paint a picture of him supporting the idea that millions must have been gassed in your warped mind.
Cut him some slack, he believes that the German military was supplied with Thompson machine guns as standard equipment.Somehow these two sources together paint a picture of him supporting the idea that millions must have been gassed in your warped mind.
how do you not know the culture of this site? dikd you literally just join this site just to defend the holocaust narrative?start a Chugger thread somewhere on this site. (lolcows?)
I understand this site completely. It is about fostering unhealthy obsessions with other people for entertainment purposes /filling the blackened hearthow do you not know the culture of this site?
No I joined to talk to holocaust deniers cuz I (at times) enjoy the debate and find their views interesting. I don't care about reducing holocaust denial, a movement I judge will never be relevant, by .00001% which is the most I could hope for heredikd you literally just join this site just to defend the holocaust narrative?
Rapechu, it's an interesting argument, so I'll accept your assumptions for now. Based on documents like Kube's letter and what we went over with the "resettlement" of the Jews of Wolhynien,Is it fair to shoot 100 people because you found some partisan weapons in one man's house? Well, yes, because these 100 people were all crammed into a single house. If one man is sneaking out of the ghetto to meet with partisans, and storing weapons under the floorboards, when he shares a room with 20 other people, then how are they not to know what he is doing? They are all complicit.
Not that I blame the jews or think this is proof that jews are all evil communists at heart, from their perspective it is a matter of survival.
What I have described above is genocide by the standard definition: "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group"The jews certainly thought they were being genocided, and were banding together accordingly.
@Chugger
There is a quote by Hitler, a relatively obscure one which I can't find right now, so I will paraphrase to the best of my memory "The war is not against jews, it is against communists. But jews are heavily involved with communism. If the jews don't want to be affiliated with communism, they need to cast out the communists and turn them over to us, and then we won't view them as a threat. However, the jews have never done this, so we must treat all jews as suspected communists".
So this gives some insight into the German mentality.

Would you consider this sufficient pretext to shoot women and/or children? Just curious. I don't think I know my own answer to this question, even
Woman absolutely can be partisans and often were, and even children can be as well. Children are always collateral damage in wars, but it seems like the Germans avoided shooting children wherever possible. Soviets gunned down entire families without any remorse, and I don't think the British were too worried about saving the children when they were bombing German residential districts. At least in places like Auschwitz, the Germans were trying to adopt out children of prisoners to save them from the horrible conditions. (This is also somehow held against them and often referred to as "kidnapping". Damned if you do, damned if you don't.)Would you consider this sufficient pretext to shoot women and/or children? Just curious. I don't think I know my own answer to this question, even.

we can conclude that ghettos were liquidated in a largely planned or pre determined manner, and I don't think there's a single ghetto they didn't hit. Once the ghetto was liquidated most inhabitants were summarily executed (eg as "bandit helpers") , with the only survivors being a portion taken aside for use as slave labor. But all this was fully justified, since the Nazis knew that in each and every ghetto would be many people with partisan sympathies or actively helping them. This was due to the ethnically based (could be cultural or genetic) anti-German / pro Bolshevik tendencies of Jewish people. Furthermore there was a massive war going on, so any kind of judicial process was unfeasible.
The non-working Polish/German/French/Dutch/Czech/Romanian Jews in their custody but not yet in Russian ghettos, as Jews also had anti-German tendencies so why even bother resettling them? Thus they were killed before they even got to the ghettos, which is why no evidence of real resettlement in Russia exists for mid-1942 and beyond, the greatest period of supposed emigration
What I have described above is genocide by the standard definition: "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group"
or "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such"
(justifiably, due to their ethnic anti-German tendencies)
Does this sound right?
Also, one more tidbit of info, jewish children, particularly jewish children aged 0-5, were the demographic of jews most likely to survive the war.Would you consider this sufficient pretext to shoot women and/or children? Just curious. I don't think I know my own answer to this question, even.
It is known that (mostly in 1941 and 1942) 100,000 or so Jews from Western and Central Europe were sent to eastern ghettos.I have posted documents of jews being transported from west and central Europe to the east.
This is contradicted by multiple documents.Liquidations were not synonymous with massacre. Jews from liquidated ghettoes were often placed into camps or placed into other ghettoes. It's only when the ghettoes were resisting (which was almost all of them by the middle of the war) that they were met with violent liquidation.
It's quite common throughout history and with nations across the world for euphemistic language to be used to describe unsavory activities. The euphemism has a dual purpose--to help conceal the nature of the activity from outside observers, and also to allow the perpetrators some extra distance from their actions.then that is a bit of a conspiracy theory from holocaust-believers, that the Germans had entire false communications
I remember this came up before when you posted thisAlso, one more tidbit of info, jewish children, particularly jewish children aged 0-5, were the demographic of jews most likely to survive the war.
Transnistria is a part of the story though, because Germans DID transfer jews from their custody into the Romanians' custody.Rapechu, a very simple issue as far as I see it is that by 1943, basically all ghettos on record in German territory had either been completely dissolved or reduced to a shadow of their former selves. If you have any evidence of ghettos persisting (as they did in Transnistria) I'd like to see it.
"Following the arrival of many newcomers in Pło nsk, theTherefore one can easily see that if the non-employable Jews were not being interned anywhere (there appears to be no evidence here) they were on the whole either dead or escaped and in hiding. German documents are mum about mass escapes of Jews, with a few exceptions like the Sobibor escape, which caused the Germans to send out police alerts across the entire General Government
100,000 is only what Kues could directly prove, within the limited scope of his paper. Contextually, just browsing holocaust encyclopedia entries every single ghetto had massively expanded in size by 1942. This can't be accounted for as being due to consolidation of rural areas, as these consolidations are noted separately, and are actually very, very tiny, as jews were not typically farmers, they lived together in towns and communities. I posted an example of a small ghetto which started out as 80 people, had 20 more people consolidated from surrounding villages, then ballooned to well over 600 people by 1942.It is known that (mostly in 1941 and 1942) 100,000 or so Jews from Western and Central Europe were sent to eastern ghettos.
Jews were also sent into the east for labor purposes.
The liquidations were planned. As we saw, when they were not met with resistance, they were non-violent resettlements, the people were deported to camps and other ghettoes. Though later on the ghettoes they were moved to usually became to resist, and thus were violently liquidated.In 1942 I haven't seen any evidence of Jews from the west being placed into ghettos. I should remind you that in 1942, 1.5 million mostly non-employable Jews were apparently transported from Poland into the "Russian East", far more than the earlier "real" resettlement
This is contradicted by multiple documents.
Kube's letter shows that the killings were scheduled, and furthermore the reason given was not violent resistance, but merely offering some form of nebulous assistance to partisans.
Many were placed into camps though, it is only alleged that they did not survive because they were gassed, when no evidence has been found for gas chambers, and it is more likely that they died of malnutrition and disease.An interesting case study, which we've been through before is the "resettlement" of the Jews of Wolhynien. USHMM pdf conveniently lists all the ghettos in this region starting on page 1315
In May 1942 the population there was described as being 326k

In the summer "resettlement" of the entire region was planned out

This would seem an ideal test case for your theory that "Jews from liquidated ghettoes were often placed into camps or placed into other ghettoes" (where they ostensibly weren't killed?)
These are two different people speaking, their comments are unrelated. If there are only isolated incidents, then this indicates that things are running smoothly. In the more Polish areas it seems like there actually was relatively little partisan activity, and so there were also far fewer mass-shootings.We immediately see mass killings start to take place

Yet in this same period SS Police are shown to be surprised by the "smooth running" of this operation

Too often, you post quotes, and when I look into them, they are badly translated or completely out of context. Here he is talking about sending jews to camps, with the ultimate goal being total internment. In this particular region, I believe that jews were consolidated towards Poland, into camps and extremely large ghettoes like the Warsaw Ghetto, which survived quite late into the war and had hundreds of thousands of jewish occupants, until their uprisings.Only in November, after hundreds of thousands of Jews had been executed (Himmler's letter feature monthly breakdowns) was it observed that the Jews were more often defending themselves. Interestingly it seems during this period of greatest Jewish resistance, the resettlement terminology is still being used "The final resettlement"

eg the Japanese tested biological weapons and mass poisoning of water supply under the heading 'Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department'
I pointed out obvious examples of coded language to you in the previous thread, and here right above "The final resettlement".

Surviving the Holocaust: Socio-demographic Differences Among Amsterdam Jews - European Journal of Population
This study determined the victimisation rate among Amsterdam Jews and socio-demographic differences in surviving the Holocaust. After linking a registration list of over 77,000 Jewish inhabitants in 1941 to post-war lists of Jewish victims and survivors, the victimisation rate lies between 74.3...link.springer.com

Yes it seems around a quarter of children under age 10 survived, a slightly higher ratio than with other Jews, and guess what the article you posted provides a plausible explanation for this

It seems at times the Germans did not have the requisite manpower to carry out these killings. Therefore Jews were temporarily concentrated in other places--temporarily being the key word.
There are major camps in Germany and Poland where millions were held, and Germans also transferred hundreds of thousands into Romanian custody in Transnistria. There were also many, many forced labor camps, where jews were transferred to along with their families, and the jews sent to these typically survived the war. There are also the "remnant ghettoes" which I think you are deliberately omitting from the narrative. Jews who were helpful to the Germans were transferred to "remnant ghettoes" (with their families), and the people sent to these often survived until the end of the war.I would ask @Rapechu if he can find evidence of a single ghetto or camp in all of German occupied Russia where "resettled Jews" may have been kept in substantial number without major liquidations into at least 1943 (as they were in Transnistria).
If you can't find even a simple example of this, again, why should anyone believe this happened?
I'm not trying to be mean or abusive, but it seems you are having difficulty with this apparent fact:
thousands of ghettos where all we know is virtually all of their non employable Jews were shot or transferred to other ghettos where most of them were then shotzero ghettos where such Jews weren't shot in large numbers and maintained their populations or grew into 1943If you are saying that you cannot find any evidence here due to mainstream history being sanctified and purged of all aberrations, this nevertheless is not very good evidence these "aberrations" existed in the first place. Imagine if there was no evidence whatsoever for mass genocide of Jews and I claimed this was because the anti-Semitic Soviet Government had motive to purge all files and silence all witnesses.
Instead, if there's no evidence for something, I think it's reasonable you shouldn't believe in it until evidence can be found.
