Description | In its capitalised form 'The Holocaust' has become the concensus Western term for the treatment of the Jewish populations of Germany and German occupied territories through the period of the second world war (1939-45). Its use in this format stems from about the mid-1960's (i.e. more than 20 years after the events it claims to define). It does not appear in histories or documents before that time. |
Contents
Official narrative
There are three fundamental tenets which together comprise the Official Narrative of "The Holocaust":
- That extermination of the Jewish populations of Germany and the countries it occupied during World War II had become official German government policy by 1941.
- That a large majority of the Jews killed during the war died in purpose-built gas chambers from the effects of inhaling the gas produced by the cyanide-based industrial compound Zyklon-B.
- That the total number killed was about 6 million.
Criminal offense to question the official narrative
In much of Western Europe it is a criminal offense to publicly question any one of the trinity of holocaust tenets. The laws defining such offenses are justified on grounds of the prevention of incitement to racial/religious hatred - hence their generic description "Hate Laws". Anyone who does so is also likely to be branded (and "branded" is the operative word) a "Holocaust Denier" by Official Narrative defenders and apologists. Thus the term is ubiquitous on Wikipedia pages about people who raise such questions.
Revisionism
One of the first, or perhaps the first, holocaust revisionist is actually a French communist, pacifist and holocaust survivor Paul Rassinier. He was a member of the French resistance effort, although he was against violence, he distributed fake identity documents and helped people to escape the Nazis and their collaborators. Due to the Nazis discovery of many of Rassinier's fake papers, and subsequent interrogation of the owners, Rassinier was identified and arrested. The Gestapo arrested him on 30 October 1943. They tortured and interrogated him, crushing his hands, breaking his jaw and rupturing his kidney. After this he was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. Here it is said that the conditions were atrocious, hunger, disease, overwork, exhaustion and physical abuse by the S.S. and the corrupt mafia of the Häftlingsführung. (A group comprised of prisoners who formed a self-government). However Rassinier attributes his survival to several factors, his relationship with a work-shy SS officer at the camp, landing a cushy job and as he had developed nephritis as a result of his torture, he was put in the infirmary for no less than 250 days. After the war finished, Rassinier was confused by the claims of gas chambers in Buchenwald, since he knew first hand that there were none. He knew that those who had claimed this were among those who had added to the torment inside the prison as part of the Haftlingsfuhrung. However, he still believed that there were gas chambers in other camps.
Rassinier then decided to visit those who claimed to know of such chambers with a very specific list of questions. A rigorous test of whether their story was consistent. According to Rassinier, everyone he interviewed would not be able to answer his pressing questions and would say that they themselves had not seen it, but that they had had a friend who died there and that the story comes from them. The essence of historical revisionism, as it applies to "The Holocaust", is the rigorous and detailed probing of the three tenets of its Official Narrative. There is no settled consensus among those labeled as Revisionists by a deeply hostile Establishment, other than that dispassionate examination of the available evidence renders the Official Narrative deeply suspect.
Holocaust Revisionists such as David Irving, Robert Faurisson, Ernst Zundel, Udo Walendy, Germar Rudolf and many others, who are often labeled "Holocaust Deniers", do not dispute that the German National Socialist Party set up a network of concentration camps and that large numbers of Jews and others considered "enemies" of the Third Reich died from abuse, starvation, disease outbreaks, cruel-unusual human experimentation and other war crimes. Rather they dispute one or more of the three fundamental tenets of the Official Narrative detailed above.
Holocaust revisonism example
The validity of the label "extermination camp" and in particular the use of Zyklon-B gas in purpose-built gas chambers as a mass killing method are put into question by Revisionists: Revisionists accept that Zyklon-B gas was routinely used to delouse clothing in purpose-build delousing chambers as part of pervasive measures against typhus outbreaks; but a number of studies, notably by U.S. government execution expert Fred Leuchter and chemist Germar Rudolf found no traces of Zyklon B in most of the samples taken from the "gas chambers" A barely detectable trace of cyanide compound was found, which was taken from the "gas chamber" in Krema building II in Birkenau. The Polish government agency the Institute of Forensic Research replicated these findings. However, given that the ruins of the gas chambers at Birkenau have been washed by a column of water at least 35m in height based on climatological records since 1945, the team was not optimistic at being able to detect cyanides so many years later. [1] Additionally, tests conducted at Auschwitz in 1945 revealed the presence of cyanides on ventilation grilles found in the ruins of Crematorium II. Given, the exposure period (to Zyklon B) is much greater in delousing operations than in homicidal gassings. This means that a much lower concentration is necessary to kill people than to get rid of lice, etc. In delousing, concentrations of up to 16,000 ppm (parts per million) are sometimes used, and exposure time can be up to 72 hours; while 300 ppm will kill people in fifteen minutes or so.[2] Later Museum Director Dr Franciszek Piper in a video-taped interview with David Cole in 1992, confirmed by the Polish government agency the Institute of Forensic Research (Instytut Ekspertyz Sadowych) of Krakow, which replicated the findings of Fred Leuchter.

Summary of Samuel Crowell's Literary Analysis
Samuel Crowell attempts in File:TheGasChamberOfSherlockHolmes.pdf to explain the rumours before, during and after the war. First, he explains what historical revisionism is and how the response by the historical community has been one of revilement. This is far removed from the normal scepticism which is expected from historical inquiry. Crowell asserts that a campaign of censorship would be dishonest. "The further erosion of free speech on this matter must be considered intolerable to anyone who takes the intellectual life seriously. Therefore the purpose of this essay will be to deliberately review the gassing claim, with the object, not to prove that gassings did or did not take place, but rather to investigate whether there is a plausible basis for revisionist doubt".
With the object to identify the strength of the ground for doubt, Crowell avoids making conclusions before reviewing the evidence. First, either the claims are true or they are not (or some middle ground where some part of claims are true). If they are true, then it should be possible to establish the basis in evidence for the claims. If not, then we must explain where these claims came from, and why they were believed. In essence, Crowell wished to put the claims into their cultural context. The context being the late Victorian era up to the second world war. To accomplish this he sets out to provide a narration of the gassing claims from 1942 to 1947. He highlights many unsubstantiated rumours during the time of the war and before the war including gas vans, electrocution chambers etc. And then provides a clear rationale for the origin of these rumours and further rumours. He demonstrates that witness testimony continually reflected a changing story of Nazi atrocities, that the soviets may have manipulated witnesses, that many witnesses were tortured before their confessions and possible cases of evidence tampering. And finally shows the role of the media in creating a positive-feedback loop which greatly enhanced the credibility and authority of rumours that continued to develop throughout the war.
In summary, Crowell concludes that even if the gassing claims are not true, still the Jews and other groups suffered tremendously from the concentration camps, further that this could still be called a holocaust of sorts, and that wherever there is censorship, government or otherwise, conspiracy theories will arise because the curious will fill in the gaps by guessing.

Robert Faurisson | ““The alleged Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged genocide of the Jews form one and the same historical lie, which has permitted a gigantic political and financial swindle whose main beneficiaries are the state of Israel and international Zionism and whose main victims are the German people – but not their leaders – and the Palestinian people in their entirety.”” | Robert Faurisson | 11 December 2011 |
Mati Kochavi | “The memory of the Holocaust outside of Israel is disappearing,” Mr. Kochavi said in an interview. “We thought, let’s do something really disruptive. We found the journal and said, ‘Let’s assume that instead of pen and paper Eva had a smartphone and documented what was happening to her.’ So we brought a smartphone to 1944.” The buzz around the project has been intense. Even before the fictional Instagram account was activated, it had more than 200,000 followers, the result of an aggressive marketing campaign involving billboards and online promotions by celebrity social media influencers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the project.” | Mati Kochavi | 30 April 2019 |
Dale Vince | “Anyone who says the climate crisis is not happening or it's not man-made, honestly, I think they're a dangerous fool, because it's like denying the Holocaust happened” | Dale Vince | 29 June 2023 |
Elie Wiesel | “I cry out with all my heart against forgiveness... Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of hate — healthy virile hate — for what the German personifies and for what persists in the German. To do otherwise would be a betrayal of the dead.” | Elie Wiesel | 1 December 1962 |
