Cartoon satirizing Holocaust Propaganda

Revisionism most commonly allies to a form of historical revision concering politically and ethnically motivated claims regarding the circumstances and figures surrounding Jewish casualties in World War II.

What Revisionists Have Proved

According to prominent revisionist Dr. Robert Faurisson, there are three central "themes" of Holocaust revisionism.

No Extermination Order: There was no extermination order issued by Hitler or anyone else. There is no proof for this at all, in all the millions of internal documents seized after the war.
No One Was "Gassed": There were no gassings of human beings at Auschwitz or anywhere else. There is a good deal of technical and forensic evidence against this black-propaganda claim. It has repeatedly been demolished been various revisionists from various angles, including in chemical analysis first in the famous Leuchter Report and then in the Rudolf Report, as well as in a Polish government forensic examination.
The Six-Million Fraud: The "Six-Million" figure is an absurd exaggeration. It is actuall technically impossible, because there were never six-million Jews under German control during the war.

How Many Jewish Dead?

Another central complaint of the revisionists is the focus on Jewish deaths while ignoring everyone else. How many Germans died? How many French died? How many American soldiers died? No one knows. But everyone knows "The-Six-Million".

The actual number of Jewish wartime deaths under German control was probably less than one million^[1], with none "gassed". As many as 500,000 may have died under Soviet control -- 200,000 died in combat wearing Red Army uniforms.^[2]

Irony

A great irony is that the actual total number of Jews who died may have represented at maximum 10% of world-Jewry, which is probably less than the share of Germans who died during the 1939-1949 period.

Absurd claims about holocaust revisionism

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we have been bamboozied long enough, we tend to reject any event of the bamboozie. We are no longer interested in findong out the truth. The bamboozie has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge - even to ourselves- that wee have been so credolous. Carl Edward Sagan
