I know this topic isn't high on anyone's mind right now, but it's come to my attention that some people, even here on voat, aren't aware that they have been indoctrinated to believe implausible and impossible scenarios surrounding the story of the Holocaust.
I'm often reminded of Elie Wiesel's book, Night, where he talks about being a young teenager in Auschwitz. I was forced to read this book in high school. Supposedly he worked in the crematorium, pushing through hundreds of bodies a day.... Later in life, my grandmother had to be cremated. For one body it took like 3 hours. What kind of magic did the Nazis use to cremate hundreds of people a day? Even 20 people per day would be a miracle. In Elie's first edition of the book, he even wrote about them double stacking bodies in the ovens to speed up the process, which it wouldn't, and using bodies as fuel to cremate more bodies, which is impossible. Those parts were edited out in later publications of the book after receiving criticism.
Another aspect of the Holocaust that doesn't make sense is that the death tolls at these major "death camps" have drastically been reduced after further evidence has been revealed, but the "6 million" Jews number remains a constant. In high school I was taught 4 million people were killed at Auschwitz, 3 million of them being Jews, but in the mid-late 90s that number was reduced to 1.1 million, with "nearly a million" being Jews. I brought this up on reddit a few years ago on askhistorians and was promptly banned for holocaust denial. This was before I was full fledged "muh holohoax", and really was my turning point that sent me on my quest for knowledge on the subject. Why didn't they want me to ask "If the number of victims at Auschwitz has gone down from 3 million to 'nearly a million' Jews, why hasn't the number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust gone from 6 million to 4 million?"
I made this comment here on voat yesterday:
By my own "guesstimates", which is all historians have, I put the total numbers of people who died in German concentration camps around 1.5-3 million.
Yes the concentration camps were real. Yes, many millions of people were put into them, living in the worst possible conditions for years. Epidemic, starvation, and neglect killed countless people.
What I, personally, do not believe, is that the Nazis had a plan to eradicate millions of people, or even carried out plans to. Almost all evidence of supposed gas chambers are complete fabrications and many have been debunked as Soviet hoaxes built after the war.
In the fumigation chambers, where they would fumigate the clothes detainees brought with them, because there was an epidemic of body lice carrying typhoid, they had a machine that was engineered to open the can of Zyclon-B, dump the pellets, and heat them up. After the fumigation was completed, an strong fan system would ventilate the room until it was safe to enter.
You see this shit, and you expect me to believe that the Nazis horded a bunch of people into a room, secured by a wooden door, and just dumped Zyclon-B pellets in there? Reminder, Zyclon-B needs heat to be activated. So what? They'd just wait for hours until the body heat in the room drove the cyanide gas out of the pellets, and then, no ventilation system in place, so they'd just open the door after all the people were dead, and let the poison gas flood the building....
Seriously, the whole gas chambers thing is so fucking shoddy, especially when you look at all the other architectural and engineering feets of the Germans. It's like, why didn't they just use the fumigation rooms already designed for gassing clothing and lice? Why didn't they use the massive fumigation chambers for railroad cars to gas people? Railroad cars can open from both sides to pull out the bodies, while the "gas chambers" were inside buildings, and only had one door in and out. As efficient as the Germans were at everything else, it's truly baffling how they would be so so sloppy with gassing Jews.
Edit: here is an excellent write up for what I described: http://www.nazigassings.com/zyklondelousing.html
Also to note, my guesstimate is based on the official number of deaths presented by the actual concentration websites. Places like Majdanek that once touted "2 million victims", now states 80,000.
Also, don't take my word for it, research this stuff for yourself. I did, and I formed my own conclusions. "but muh historians!", yeah, any historian that ever wants funding or to not be ostracized by the academic community will toe the line on this one.

The "Shoah Business" is a lying business. Now in Germany, Britain, Canada you may not even investigate it without being charged, arrested and even jailed. It's way past time for the whole stinking story to be thoroughly investigated.

There's no business like Shoah Business!
