Kinna Report

The Kinna Report is a document allegedly "discovered" by Communist Poland and allegedly authored by Heinrich Kinna, an SS-Untersturmführer. The document contains allegations that "Imbeciles, idiots, cripples and sick people" were to be removed from Auschwitz through "liquidation". Furthermore, "This measure, however, is impeded in view of the fact that, according to a directive from the RSHA, Poles have to die a natural death, in contrast to the measure applied to the Jews."

Holocaust revisionist criticisms include the particularly unreliable nature of Holocaust evidence "discovered" by Communists, the allegations contradicting the well-documented extensive care given to the sick at Auschwitz, and the allegations referring to a completely unknown supposed "directive from the RSHA".

Another argument is that revisionists state that National Socialist Germany did kill certain groups, such as severely mentally handicapped Germans (see Action T4), which is argued to make it strange that severely mentally handicapped Poles should be allowed "to die a natural death".

Assuming the document is authentic, see Meanings and translations of German words and Holocaust revisionism on "liquidation" not necessarily meaning killing. A suggestion is therefore that the mentioned Jewish groups were not killed, but removed through transportation elsewhere.

Furthermore, the document makes no mention of the alleged "selections", according to which groups such as the young and the elderly were selected for gassing due being unfit for work, and makes no mention of genocidal killings of all Jews.
