The revisionist Thomas Kues has argued that the change regarding the Western Holocaust camps was due to criticisms by
Holocaust revisionists and that "This shows that Holocaust historians were aware of the revisionists already from the
start, and that by 1960 they had already adopted the strategy of discreetly cutting out the most untenable parts of the
gas chamber mythos (without even for a moment considering the evidential foundation of the remainder) while
avoiding naming the revisionists whose writings made these tactical retreats necessary."[3]
Hierarchy of evidence
Revisionists argue that in courts, there is a generally agreed on hierarchy regarding how valuable different forms of
evidence are, with the most valuable mentioned first in the list below:[1]
Material evidence (for example, gas chambers, corpses). See Holocaust material evidence.
Documentary evidence (for example, National Socialist documents). See Holocaust documentary evidence.
Party testimony (for example, "Holocaust survivor" statements and trial "confessions"). See Holocaust testimonial
evidence.
The evidence argued to support the non-revisionist version is argued to mostly consist of the weakest form of evidence
(party testimony).[1]
Revisionists have argued that some mainstream historians have in effect admitted that the evidence supporting the
politically correct version is very weak.[4]
Anti-Holocaust revisionism
The Holocaust is in many Western countries an official "Truth" that is illegal to discuss
and research freely. Continued attempts are made to extend such censorship to the
remaining Western countries that still allow free debate and research on the issue. In
2014, Russia and Greece implemented "Holocaust denial" laws. In 2015, Romania
implemented such a law (with help of the United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum).[5] In 2016, Italy implemented a "Holocaust denial" law. Lobbying efforts are
ongoing in order to make the European Union pass legislation prohibiting free
discussion and research in all EU countries.
