we even have the court statement of the commander of Auschwitz for crying out loud,
Sorry I have to take issue...
Testimony of Rudolph Hoess in the Nuremberg Trial
I commanded Auschwitz until 1 December 1943, and estimate that at least 2,500,000 victims were executed and exterminated there by gassing and burning, and at least another half million succumbed to starvation and disease making a total dead of about 3,000,000. This?figure represents about 70 or 80 percent of all persons sent to Auschwitz as prisoners, the remainder having been selected and used for slave labor in the concentration camp industries; included among the executed and burned were approximately 20,000 Russian prisoners of war (previously screened out of prisoner-of-war cages by the Gestapo) who were delivered at Auschwitz in Wehrmacht transports operated by regular Wehrmacht officers and men. The remainder of the total number of victims included about 100,000 German Jews, and great numbers of citizens, mostly Jewish, from Holland, France, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Greece, or other countries. We executed about 400,000 Hungarian Jews alone at Auschwitz in the summer of 1944."
So if Hoess's testimony was so reliable WHY was the Plaque outside Auschwitz changed in 1989 to one stating about 1.5 million people perished there !!!

This is just another disinformation thread.
Eisenhower had the death camps documented to collect as much proof, films and testimonies because "the day will come when some Sonf of a Bitch will say this never happened."

A bit of a bait and switch there !
First you cite Rudolf Hoess testimony as proof of the 6 million jews killed, then when shown Hoess's testimony is fraudulent you change to another source that negates your original pov. But I don't mind, if that is how you wish your reality to be so be it.
For me, every year when I buy a poppy for remembrance day, I shall remember ALL of those that perished in the atrocity that was the 2nd world war and not just the few.
I neither have an agenda nor do I want to be part of someone else's....So good day

Historians never believed in the number quoted by the commander. They destroyed the records, and the plaque was put up by the museum who inflated the number....but as I said, historians always questioned that number. The 1-1.5m number was only developed because they went over deportation logs (which weren't destroyed).
By the way, if you had bothered to do 5min of research, you'd know that
Oh, and the 6m figure comes from an analysis of deportation logs, the few kill logs that weren't destroyed, and missing person reports. If you KNOW someone got thrown into one of those camps, and that's the last logs you have of their whereabouts, it's sane to assume they died in that camp.edit on 15-12-2011 by MrXYZ because: (no reason given)
Hell, we even have the court statement of the commander of Auschwitz for crying out loud,
