| What about all the Allied servicemen who liberated these camps and saw the aftermath, the piles of corpses and skeletal survivors? I suppose the deniers would say that these people were dying of disease and starvation and this doesn't prove the use of the gas chambers etc etc. I suppose an argument sometimes given against the holocaust is that by definition, no-one alive saw the gas ovens in action, apart from the Nazi operators who deny it. But some forced labourers who had to dispose of the bodies survived. But how else could anyone account for six million dead (and that's just the Jews)?
Basically its easier to believe that it did happen than that all that evidence could be fabricated. And why should it be fabricated? After all, it wasn't until after the war that the Allies were able to publicise what was going on - we did not need that evidence to whip up hatred against the Nazis and persuade our populations to fight. |
