2009] Leading historians' estimates of the number of Jews who died during
the Holocaust range from 5.1 to 6.2 million
1
In a famous 1955 film, "Night and Fog" ("Nuit et Brouillard"), which is shown in every school in France (and many in the United States), the figure of the dead in Auschwitz is said to have been nine million. The Nuremberg Tribunal established that it had been four million (Doc. USSR-008). On the Auschwitz-Birkenau monument it was also four million but, in 1990, they chiseled out this figure. In his 1989 English-language book, Pressac wrote (p. 553) that it was between one million and a million and a half. Now, in 1993, in his new French-language book, he says 775,000 dead, rounded out to 800,000. (Among those, he maintains, 630,000 Jews were gassed.) The actual figure of Auschwitz deaths between 1939 and 1945 is probably closer to 150,000, mostly because of epidemics, starvation and overwork. [1994] Jean-Claude Pressac's New Auschwitz Book by Robert Faurisson
Biedermann confirmed a news story that had filtered out in 1964 at the Frankfurt trial: at the time of liberation of Auschwitz, the Soviets and the Poles had discovered the death register of that complex of 39 camps and sub-camps. The register consisted of 38 or 39 volumes. The Soviets keep 36 or 37 of those volumes in Moscow while the Poles keep two or three other volumes at the "Auschwitz State Museum," a copy of which they have furnished to the International Tracing Service in Arolsen. But neither the Soviets nor the Poles nor the International Tracing Service authorize research in these volumes. Biedermann did not even want to reveal the number of dead counted in the two or three volumes of which the ITS has a copy. It is clear that, if the content of the death register of Auschwitz were made public, it would be the end of the myth of the millions of deaths in the camp. The Zündel Trials (1985 and 1988) by ROBERT FAURISSON
In 1990, the Auschwitz State Museum revised the old
propaganda claim of four million murdered humans down to one million—base not
upon facts, but upon estimates! In 1994, a French scholar reduced this figure
further down to less than 700,000, and in 2002, another mainstream Holocaust
scholar reduced the Auschwitz death toll to 500,000—again not based on facts,
but on "estimates."
.......Only two monographs were written so far on the question of how
many Jews lost their lives during World War II. The first is a revisionist book
concluding that some 300,000 perished. The second is authored by several
recognized historians claiming that some six million died. Whereas the
Revisionist book takes into consideration demographic changes of the Jewish
population in all countries, the mainstream book compiles its figures by simply
subtracting the number of Jews alive in Europe a few years after the war from
those alive in Europe several years before the war. It ignores that the Jewish
population in America, Israel, and other countries outside of Europe had
increased by almost six million in this period of time, as a result of a new
Exodus. Thus, those who had left Europe were simply declared to be Holocaust
victims. THE HOLOCAUST
CONTROVERSY The Case For Open Debate
An Introduction by Germar Rudolf
Over the years, Holocaust historians and standard Holocaust studies have
consistently maintained that Jewish prisoners who arrived at Auschwitz between
the spring of 1942 and the fall of 1944, and who were not able to work, were
immediately put to death. Consistent with the alleged German program to
exterminate Europe's Jews, only able-bodied Jews who could be "worked to death"
were temporarily spared from the gas chambers. Holocaust historians also agree
that no records were kept of the deaths of the Jews who were summarily killed in
the camp's gas chambers because they were too old, too young or otherwise unable
to work.
...However, Auschwitz camp death records — which were hidden away for more than
40 years in the Soviet Union — cast grave doubt on these widely accepted claims.
...The death registry volumes fell into Soviet hands in January 1945 when Red
Army forces captured Auschwitz. They remained inaccessible in Soviet archives
until 1989, when officials in Moscow announced that they held 46 of the volumes,
recording the deaths of 69,000 Auschwitz inmates.
....Consistent with the Sterbebuch records, other German wartime
documents show that a very high percentage of the Jewish inmates at Auschwitz
were not able to work, and were nevertheless not killed.
...For example, an internal German telex message dated September 4, 1943, from
the chief of the Labor Allocation department of the SS Economic and
Administrative Main Office (WVHA), reported that of 25,000 Jewish inmates in
Auschwitz, only 3,581 were able to work. All of the remaining Jewish inmates —
some 21,500, or about 86 percent — were unable to work.
....This is also confirmed in a secret report dated April 5, 1944, on "security
measures in Auschwitz" by Oswald Pohl, head of the WVHA agency responsible for
the concentration camp system, to SS chief Heinrich Himmler. Pohl reported that
there was a total of 67,000 inmates in the Auschwitz camp complex, of whom
18,000 were hospitalized or disabled. In the Auschwitz II camp (Birkenau),
supposedly the main extermination center, there were 36,000 inmates, mostly
female, of whom "approximately 15,000 are unable to work."
.....The evidence shows that Auschwitz-Birkenau was, in fact, established
primarily as a camp for Jews who were not able to work, including the sick and
elderly, as well as for others temporarily awaiting assignment to other camps.

Long-Hidden Death Certificates Discredit Extermination Claims by Mark Weber
During and after the First World War, that is between
1916 and the late 1920s, mainly American Jewish organizations were claiming that
six million Jews(!) would suffer terribly in poverty stricken Eastern
Europe. In this context, it was claimed that eastern European Jewry would face a
Holocaust if they did not receive massive funding. With such propaganda,
millions of dollars were raised in the United States, which at the end were
mainly used to finance the Soviet revolution in Russia.
On 22 March 1916, that is during
the First World War, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph
published an article falsely claiming that the Germans had murdered 700,000
Serbs in gas chambers. On 25 May 1942, that is during the Second World
War, the same newspaper reported that the Germans had murdered 700,000 Jews in
Poland in gas chambers.
How can we tell that the second
story is true, if we know that the first is a lie? In 1944, the British
Government asked the British media and churches to help spread anti-German
propaganda, which it had been putting out already for a while, in order to
distract from the atrocities it expected to be committed by the Soviets as soon
as they invade Germany. In its circular, the British government expressed its
regret that, after the exposure of WWI propaganda lies, greater efforts would be
necessary to succeed this time.
THE HOLOCAUST CONTROVERSY
The Case For Open Debate An Introduction
by Germar Rudolf
The number of Jews who perished in Europe during the war years, he concluded, could not have been more than about 1.6 million. Paul Rassinier
Asked about the photo in the Harwood booklet showing "healthy and cheerful
inmates" at Dachau at its surrender to American soldiers in the final weeks of
the war, I replied that it is an official U.S. Army photo, one of a series I had
examined in the archives at the Pentagon. Another photo in the series, which was
taken at the same time, shows Jewish mothers and their babies in the camp.
A large chart showing the monthly death rate at Dachau during the war was also
presented to the court as a defense exhibit. I testified that the figures given
were from a U.S. government prosecution exhibit presented at one of the postwar
trials in Germany. The chart graphically showed a tremendous increase in the
death rate during the final months of the war, which was the result of disease
brought on by tremendous overcrowding and other unavoidable consequences of the
chaotic wartime conditions. The figures implicitly confirm that there was no
extermination program or policy at the camp.
A plaque placed at Dachau shortly after the end of the war proclaimed that
238,000 people had died in the camp, I noted. Today, the total number of Dachau
dead is pretty universally acknowledged to have been about 20,000. In the case
of other camps as well, I said, the numbers of alleged victims have been
drastically revised downwards over the years, although the public is rarely ever
told that these figures have been changed. New figures are given without
explaining why the old ones are no longer accurate.
The German guards'at the Dachau, Buchenwald and Mauthausen camps were simply
murdered after the camps were taken by the Americans in the final weeks of the
war, I testified. The murder of more than 500 guards at Dachau is confirmed, I
said, by two eyewitnesses to the atrocity. The first is U.S. Army officer Howard
Buechner, who described the killings in detail in his book, Dachau: The Hour of
the Avenger. The second is by Turkish inmate Nerin Gun, who describes the
atrocity in his memoir, The Day of the Americans. U.S. Army records, which were
declassified at my request, also confirm the atrocity. My Role in the [Ernst]
Zündel Trial
In Historical Fact No. 23, published in 1985, Walendy dealt with the topic of the Holocaust as it related to the gypsies. In Walendy' opinion, the claim that Germany killed 500,000 gypsies during the war was a complete fiction and had no factual basis. Several books had come out making this claim and referred to each other as evidence, but none of the books themselves contained any evidence to support the claim. Walendy's purpose in analyzing the books was to determine what had really happened. He was not there, and such allegations had great political importance. Walendy concluded that there was no evidence to prove the murder of 500,000 gypsies and that the allegations were being promoted by politicians.

[2013 Feb] On the Importance of Holocaust Revisionism—A Reply to Alan Hart By Thomas Dalton, Ph.D Hart, in particular, perpetuates some false and misleading ideas about the matter, and thus a reply is called for......As to the third point, that the “6 million” figure might be a considerable exaggeration, Hart simply says, “so what!” In fact, the best revisionist estimates suggest that perhaps 500,000 Jews died during the war years—a staggering 90% reduction from the claimed number. Well—so what? Historical accuracy, for one; when speaking of the “greatest crime in the history of humanity,” we should at least get our numbers straight. Secondly, this would reduce the Jewish death toll to barely 1% of the total war dead, turning it into a mere footnote of history.

Before and after the "Holocaust" according to the World Almanac the
world population of Jews increased (!) between 1933 and 1948 from 15,315,000 to
15,753,000.

the official three-volume report by the International Committee of the Red
Cross, released 1948 in Geneva, according to which 271,304 concentration camp
inmates died in German custody, about half of them Jews.
