My topic is about the denial of the Holocaust. Only about 50 percent of the population
know about the Holocaust and of those 50 percent one fifth of them belive it was all fake. People
believe a few different things. The one that stands out to me is they believe it was all planned to
try and get people to turn to judaism. I would like to know why you would go as far as living in a
camp just to try and get more people to go over to your religion. One thing they deny is the
photos the deniers believe they were created by surrounding nations to use as propaganda.
Deniers also believe it was all staged to get people to come over to judaism. Deniers have also
stated that the gas chambers that were used could not kill nor kill at the rate that was supposedly
being killed. Deniers have also said camps were meant to only keep jews for war time since
Germans thought of them as a threat. My topic is denial of the Holocause I believe it was real. I
The deniers have stated that the photos were created by surrounding nations to use as
propaganda against Germany. An article states that many of the films and photos that were used
after World War 2 were created by allied nations to use as propaganda against the Germans. I
have a hard time believing that the Germans would try to hind the Holocaust after the war since
at that time the camps would of already been liberated so their would be no use of hinding it after
war. It is said in an article that Holocaust deniers ignore or minimize the tens of thousands of
Fischer 2
pages of documents and photos that Nazis themselves had that survived the war. I agree with this
statement because if Nazis have their own documents and photos of the Holocaust then why
would it matter if surrounding nations are created photos the Nazis have the truth. An article I
looked at had aerial photos of the gas chambers and crematoria. Many deniers have said that the
gas chambers were built after the war but I think that is just something they are saying to try and
keep this conspiracy going. All in all I think the deniers are ultimatley trying to find the one
Many deniers of the Holocaust believe the whole thing was staged to get people to come
over to judaism. Deniers that said it was impossible to burn the corpses during war time since
fuel was limited. I believe that you wouldn’t need much fuel to start a fire and once the fire
started going you wouldn’t need to do anything to it, it would just use the corpses as its fuel. The
only real life evidence their is of the Holocaust is the people who survived it. I understand this
but all the survivors have said the same thing once you went to the gas chamber you never came
out the same with corpses they all said that happened also. A direct sentence from an article
states. Many prisoners were indeed used for forced labor in Auschwitz. But the "unfit" - meaning
the elderly, the children, and most of the women - were immediately sent to the gas chambers. I
believe this also the survivors have said this to be true if you couldn’t perform the tasks asked
they didn’t need you. I believe the claims being made by deniers are just lack of evidence to back
Deniers have also said that the gas chambers that were used during the Holocaust weren’t
strong enough to kill nor fast enough to kill at the said rate. An article says that this testimony is
very contradictory since all the witnesses have never actually seen the gassing happen since

everyone who apparently went to the chambers never went out. I believe that they did use the gas
chambers because they are there, they have pictures of them and everyone who supposedly went
to the gas chambers never came out so what else could have happened. Some groups say that
jews weren’t actually killed by the Germans, that they all died from disease, starvation, and other
hardships of WW2. I think this could be true. I do believe lots of jews died from disease,
starvation, and other stuff but I just can’t believe 6 millions all died from those without any being
killed. A direct sentence from an article says. Many prisoners were indeed used for forced labor
in Auschwitz. But the "unfit" - meaning the elderly, the children, and most of the women - were
immediately sent to the gas chambers. People that were not needed were killed; they never got
the chance to get disease or starve so its details like these that the deniers are trying to not look
at. I will admit gas chambers might lack evidence but I just can’t believe 6 million people died of
Deniers think camps were never meant to kill and they had a different objective. It was
said in an article that jews were put in camps because Germans considered jews a direct threat to
their national sovereignty and survival. I think the reasons jews were put in camps is all over the
place. I don’t think we know the exact reason why the Nazis did this. Deniers say it was
impossible to burn corpses. I don’t think it would be very hard to start a fire without fuel and the
corpses would just fuel the fire. In an article it is said that the camps were meant to be an
internment center and part of a large scale manufacturing complex of synthetic rubber. I
understand this but never have I heard of any rubber coming out of these camps nor do I see
rubber as evidence so I just can’t believe this. I think all these claims are just thought up to try
Im conclusion I believe the evidence supporting that the Holocaust happened overwhelms the
evidence that it never happened. I think if every survivor of the Holocaust is saying the
samething that it was meant to kill how could you tell them its a lie. Photo denial I think is
ridiculous because back then they didn’t have the technology to change pictures. Deniers say it's
staged which I think is crazy. Why would you put yourself through something so cruel just to get
people to go over to judaism. Gas chambers are very interesting because yes no survivor can say
for sure thats what happened but one way or another jews were being killed not all died of
disease and starvation. I can’t believe the statement that camps were meant to make rubber
because this claim just lacks evidence. People believe jews died of disease and starvation but I
