IntroductionWe all know about the tragic stories about Adolf Hitler- the man who killed eleven million men, women, and children in Nazi Germany. It is commonly accepted by students in school that there was an extermination campaign in Nazi Germany during World War two, targeted against anyone who was not of the Aryan race, and more specifically, the Jewish people.In more recent years, Holocaust Revisionism has become more of a hot topic. This is rather suprising, as Holocaust Revisionism has been in the United States and all across the world since the end of World War 2. The Holocaust tends to be a very sensitive subject to some readers, especially those of Jewish faith. This paper is in no way written to be anti-semetic, but if you believe you may be offended, please do not read further. Although, if you do choose to keep reading, it is important that you stay open minded while looking over the revisions.

Survivor TestimonyIt is drilled into our heads, year after year, sixth grade, seventh, eighth, etc., that the Holocaust is an undisputable event that happened during World War 2, causing the massacare of 6 million jews, and 5 million non-aryans. Many revisionists like to ask, where is the evidence for these claims?Survivor testimony is the first piece of evidence typically presented when questioned. At this point, we recieve the cold hard truth about the Holocaust from those who have experienced it for themselves. Although, there is no way of telling if these statements are truly fact, or fiction. A direct statement from Mien Kampf, a near 500 page book written by Adolf Hitler, explains how a mass lie could be told in order to fool the entire population. Adolf states that due to the corruption of others, we as people, are more likely to believe a large lie, such as one about an apocalypse, rather than a small one, such as one about why you forgot to take out the trash."In this they proceeded on the sound principle that the magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds they more easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others; yes, even when enlightened on the subject, they will long doubt and waver, and continue to accept at least one of these causes as true. Therefore, something of even the most insolent lie will always remain and stick - a fact which all the great lie-virtuosi and lying-clubs in this world know only too well and also make the most treacherous use of." - Adolf Hitler, Mien Kampf

The Conditions of the VictimsWhat we hear about the Holocaust for the conditions of the victims is absolutely tragic. Beaten daily, starved, and in the end, gassed. The victims never had any luxuries, and they were practically waiting to die. However, these statements made by historians who can confirm the holocaust, are all debatable.Auschwitz was not designed to kill the victims from World War 2. It was designed as a manufacturing complex- not a death camp. Prior to the war, Auschwitz manufactured synthensetic rubber, gasoline, plastic, and pharmaceuticals. During World War 2, the proclaimed victims of the Holocaust were transported to Auschwitz as workers (which at this point you may see me reffer to the victims as 'workers' rather frequently). Although these people were forced to work, everyone in Nazi Germany was forced to work, fight in the war, or go to prison, due to the economic depression of the 1920's.In Auschwitz, the workers had good living conditions. Money was printed for them, where they could exchange currency with eachother, purchase food and drinks for themselves, and even get an item or two out of a shop of their choice with their money.In Auschwitz, not only was there a currency system to allow the workers to experience a free market system in the camp, but there was also a large swimming pool which is not availiable to be seen on the Auschwitz tour today. There was also a quoir which sung weekly.

On the Germans BehalfOn the side of Nazi Germany, they must have left something behind to prove that there was a Holocaust. That there were eleven million people killed during Adolf's reign over Nazi Germany.There was never an autopsy preformed on the fallen to show that there was evidence of a gassing. It can be debated that the bodies were burned or buried, but some of them were left out in broad daylight even after the Holocaust was over.The Germans were also supposed to be incredibley efficent at what they did. The Holocaust contradicts this, as the process for the gassings was extremely complicated. The victims had to be seperated by gender, given new uniforms, and then they proceeded to stay at the camps for weeks, and sometimes months at a times before they were exterminated. To combat the idea of 5 million non-aryans killed in Hitler's infamous gas chambers, we must look at the Waffen-SS. The Waffen-SS of Germany was suprisingly the most diverse military force in history. Blacks, Arabs, and Japanese were supporters of the National Socialist party, and some were in the Waffen-SS.

On the Jewish BehalfAny logical person must be thinking, "why would the Jewish people do something like this? What would they have to gain?". It was a matter of economics as opposed to a matter of random hate. Shortly before World War 2 started, Judea declared war on Germany. This led to a Jewish boycott of German goods, as opposed to the contrary belief of German boycott of Jewish goods. After the Jewish began to boycott the German goods, the German people did the same to the Jewish. This led to heavy tensions inbetween the German and Jewish people.Three years after the Holocaust had ended, a Jewish state had formed- Israel. A place for the Jewish people to reside. The Holocaust had given them a place to take refuge in, and with the entire world feeling sorrowful after the proclaimed killings of the 6 million Jews, Israel was nothing more than a reperation. The Holocaust was a scapegoat for free land.On the Allied BehalfAlthough it is argued that Nazi Germany had attempted to cover up the Holocaust prior to the ending of the war, there is a lot of conflicting evidence that shows that the Allied Powers had attempted to explode the Holocaust into something it wasn't before the war was over.Some of the death-camps that the USSR and the United States have captured had been modified during and after the war. There are aerial photographs taken before, during, and after the war that shows that the delousing chambers were modified to make them look more like gas chambers. Holes were added in the top by the Allied Powers so that way Zyklon B could be dropped in to gas the prisoners easier.Norway, along with the other Allied powers had the enigma codes to decrypt the german messages during World War 2. There were never any messages going from camp to camp, or from base to base regarding the gassing or extermination of any victims. To add to this, there are not any German documents from during the war that talk about gassing the victims.

Overall...It is hard to accept the Holocaust as an event in history where eleven million people were killed, even after the evidence is presented.
