 Denying the Holocaust -- The Growing Assault onTruth and Memory
, 1993, Penguin in relation with a trial due to take place in the firstdays of 2000 in London, where British historian David Irving is suing Mrs. Lipstadtfor defamation, --to allow the public to take freely cognizance of the sentences andwords used by the author.We downloaded this document in October 1999 from:www.angelfire/ak3/deny/pira1.html>. We have seen another copy atwww.altern.org/lipo/pira1.html. Thanks to them all.As revisionists, we feel grossly misrepresented by Ms Lipstadt; we are not looking forredress in courts, but only in the minds of good readers. The rest of this site is enough,we believe, to prove Ms Lipstadt wrong on all accounts. You may retrieve moreinformation on the trial on David Irving's website:www.fpp.co.uk .

Sad that this sort of book is necessary even on an otherwise mundane and mostly harmless website, because rabid fanatics obsessed by their malevolent hatreds have published all sorts of antisemitic book excerpts, several pushing Holocaust denial, on even this site. So decency requires the publication along with them of Lipstadt's book at the least. Thanks to "xtremepunker" for doing a good deed in a too dark world. The Holocaust is the most documented genocide in history. Nazi government documents, photo albums of SS troops, short movies by Nazis themselves, accounts by non-Jewish witnesses by the tens of thousands throughout Nazi-occupied Europe in diaries, memoirs, post-war testimonies, and other media, mass graves, train administration records, confessions by concentration camp guards and commanders taken down by video cameras as they spoke (e.g., in Claude Lanzman's 6-hour film Shoah, and in the confessions of the commanders of Sobirbor, Auschwitz and elsewhere, and the agreement in detail with all the above of Jewish survivors's oral and written accounts by the hundreds of thousands both right after the war and up to the present, along with the manifest reduction of global Jewish numbers from at least 17 million before WWII to about 11 million after the war - and Jews have still not recovered their numbers, since there are only about 13 million of them now if one adds up their figures in national censuses around the world. There are just too many evidences, not just of death camps and gas chambers, but of systematic murder and burial of entire towns and cities of Jews by Einsatzgruppen Nazi troops in eastern Europe during the war, machine-gunning them directly into huge pits. And then there was the deliberate starving of entire ghettos, to weaken their numbers by famine and disease, prior to dispatching the remaining Jews to concentration camps or murdering them en masse right there. All of this is massively documented. To doubt this produces a "historical method" that could disprove that France really exists, because it was a German hoax all along: you just cannot trust French people who claim otherwise, and have written whole libraries to prove France's existence, because all French people (according to this utterly fantastical and malicious theory) are incredibly industrious liars, QED. Or maybe it is Germany itself that is a hoax because all Germans are part of a sinister conspiracy, and anyone who says otherwise must be in their pay or secretly German themselves (etc., etc., etc.). You can't prove it isn't, using Holocaust denial methods.

The official figure for Auschwitz hasn't been reduced. It's been 1,1-1,5 million in the history books for 50 years. The soviet government exaggerated the number of russians that were killed in Auschwitz. They had been told by historians that this figure of 4 million dead was wrong but they refused to acknowledge this until the Soviet Union fell. The history books have always been correct about this. There are tons of evidence of the nazi genocide and the information isn't unreliable at all. What's completely unreliable is Holocaust denial since deniers have been caught lying too many times. Your antisemitic statement that there's a "jewish propensity for lying" shows where this denial really comes from.

There was a German holocaust that began with Dresden and continued after the war, notably with the murder of between one and two million German POWs by exposure. The information about the camps is very unreliable and needs serious re-examination. (The official figure for Auschwitz has been reduced from 4 million to 1 million.) The real Jewish holocaust was by shooting in the Soviet Union and the Baltic states - there is plenty of reliable documentary evidence and the figure is probably in excess of one million. Comparable evidence does not exist for the camps and there are many anomalies. The Jewish propensity for lying (Kol Nidre aka the Liars' prayer) is another problem, as is Jewish shamelessness (chutzpah). Honest Jews have also pointed out that the Shoah is a massive money spinner, though the money is often pilfered (Kol Nidre and chutzpah again).

parbon18218: you ask "Where is the proof?" It is there: survivors, witnesses told it million a time before. Language, words, speech taken as proof. Even at court. That is how our lives are structured, done and remembered. If you can't accept this practice of thousands of years now, see a doctor. ;-)

I told you where to find the documents you say you seek. If you don't want to be exposed to something that conflicts with your mindless drivel then quit demanding historical evidence. You don't want truth, you just comforting lies to justify your antisemitism like every denier.
