It's not about persecution or relocation or subjective testimonies or cherry picked history or anything to do with Hitler. Those things are not based on "science" or "scientific method". That's not how science works.
I'm guessing that you base your denial on the works of Fred Leuchter, a man who has had his work refuted by the scientific community on more than one occasion, his collection methods were abysmal, he took samples from a reconstructed chamber that the Nazi's blew up. His analysis was poorly undertaken and he also failed to explain why his so called "delousing" chambers contained so little hydrogen cyanide when killing of insects requires MORE of it to be present than when killing humans.
Maybe you should read Jean Claud Pressac's Auschwitz:Teechnique-and-operation of the Gas Chambers. Pressac was a chemist - a scientist just like yourself and originally a holocaust denier
Or maybe the works of Professor Jan Markiewicz, the Director of the Forensic Institute of Cracow who re-did an analysis at Auschwitz and proved high levels of cyanide in the chambers. His peer-reviewed scientific study can be found here - www.nizkor.org...
In October 1990, the commonwealth of Massachusetts brought criminal charges against Leuchter for representing himself as an engineer without a license.[2] Leuchter not only lacks an engineering license but has neither an engineering degree nor any other relevant professional certification or recognized credential - his education consists of a BA in history, which he completed in 1964. In 1991, the case was settled under the agreement that he will serve two years' probation for practicing engineering without a license.[28] He admits to having no formal training in toxicology, biology or chemistry.[2]

And you didn't answer my questions or have courtesy to reciprocate the information about who you even are and why this important to you.
That's was it for me. Your intentions are not about seeking truth. I asked you one question and your refuse to answer.
I trust Irving can answer your lies much better if you want to watch the series but I know you won't because you are not seeking knowledge, you are only trying to keep the lie and feed your propaganda, which is dishonest and I will have nothing more to say. Good day sir.

What exactly is the holocaust ?........I mean it originally referred to ALL that died in WW2.
Now it seems only to refer to 6 million jews being systematically led into gas chambers, killed, and then having their bodies cremated.
Is that what people think ?.......I think we have to be specific if we are to discuss it with an equal understanding of what is being claimed.

No, it refers to the Jews that were mass-murdered by the Germans.

Nope.
The holocaust refers to all people who were mass executed at the hands of the Nazi's in WW2.
Slavs, Romanies, Jehovah's Witnesses, The Polish Gentry, Russian Prisoners of War, various resistance members, communist party members, Political Dissidents, German Intellectuals who were Anti-Nazi, Physically and Mentally Disabled People, Homosexuals and Jewish people were killed.
Deniers like to try and plant the seed that somehow its only supposed to refer to Jewish people nowadays to prop up their arguments - oddly in a similar manner as to how Goebbels used to do such things.
Must be a Nazi mentality.
The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt")[2] also known as the Shoah (Hebrew: השואה, HaShoah, "catastrophe"; Yiddish: חורבן, Churben or Hurban, from the Hebrew for "destruction"), was the mass murder or genocide of approximately six million Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, throughout German-occupied territory.[3][4] Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed.[5] Over one million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust, as were approximately two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men.
Some scholars argue that the mass murder of the Romani and people with disabilities should be included in the definition,[8][9] and some use the common noun "holocaust" to describe other Nazi mass murders, including those of Soviet prisoners of war, Polish and Soviet civilians, and homosexuals.
For hundreds of years, the word "holocaust" was used in English to denote great massacres, but since the 1960s, the term has come to be used by scholars and popular writers to refer to the Nazi genocide of Jews

Like I said, deniers love to use that stuff, because they prey on peoples inaccuracies and to spread their particular brand of delusion to the world.
Its like the number quibbling - "it wasn't x amount, it was more likely y" - like it makes it right somehow
The simple fact is that a huge amount of people were exterminated in cold blood in less humane conditions that we process cattle.
The fact that people want to try to deny the whole thing because of their blatant social inadequacies and petty bigotry is shameful.
