Yes. The first time he used the term "Holocaustianity" I almost choked on my coffee.

I really wish I had a copy of Denying History on hand. I know that Shermer responds to several of the "facts" in the article, including Zyklon-B level measurements. Alas, I checked it out of a library to read it ...

But there's plenty of skepticism. Indeed, there's skepticism of skepticism, so I'd say it fits. But you're the sheriff.

This reminds me of the story about then General Eisenhower, upon entering German concentration camps, he first ordered in the Army press corps. To film as much as possible, he said “get this all on film, I know in the future there will be those who will try to deny this ever happened”
He also forced the nearest civillian Germans to collect and bury the bodies.

How do we know that ever happened?

No, really. Because it seems a little too convenient.

Hermann Göring said at Nuremberg that anyone can make an atrocity film. He was right. Anyone can. It doesn't take a Spielberg. All you need is a few emaciated corpses and some cinematographic imagination. The films you've seen are not gas chamber victims, but inmates who died from typhus and starvation. And you can thank the Allies and their aerial attacks on the German railway system for that.

Have any of you talked to death camp survivors ?
I have. One time [late 1980s] in San Francisco someone started about the Holocaust at a public meeting and a sweet little old lady stood up, raised her arm to show her tatooed number and said "Were you at Auschwitz...I was"....and mentioned that she was the only one from her town who lived because she played the piano. She played "Fur Elise" for me once.

Do you know where the statistics on the numbers of dead at the various camps come from ?
The Germans kept meticulous records and the historians just add them up.

This is pointless; did WWII really happen at all? Was Hiroshima really blown up by an atomic bomb?
Of course not, all just hearsay, phony films and a bunch of imaginative liars. Nothing at all happened in the 1940’s.


Next we will have a look at that so called 'moon' in the sky, bah, anyone can float a big balloon in the sky and call it a "moon".

Let me ask all of you this: what, to you, is the strongest, most incontrovertible proof that the Holocaust actually happened?
