Dr Kenneth Hanson on 'Holocaust Denial'

[Stubble]

This is a presentation I ran across on YouTube proporting to rebut the Resvisionist Thesis.



His take on Aktion 1005 seems novel. Apparently, they didn't just erase physical graves, but, also all of the related records to the alleged extermination program.

I haven't been through the whole thing yet, but, it seems he doesn't seem to rely on the shoes. Hopefully I haven't spoke too soon, there is still some run time, and he may kick back on the shoes at some point.

Bonus content, 'Robert Jan Van Pelt on Comedy Cellar' starts at around 39 minutes.

Anybody feel like cracking into any of this and discussing it?

This thread hasn't gained much traction. I suppose that is to be expected. I don't think the usual suspects want to try to defend the orthodox thesis as described in the presentation.

It has generated some interest in the lazerret.

It seemed worthwhile to link to the main thread here.

If true that is an explanation, why there is no evidence for this. Only for rather normal securing operations in the rear of the front.

Pretty weak video. He seems to be relying extensively on Lipstadt's book which is very dated by now and which was never any good to begin with. I groaned when he repeated the 11 million figure (which is from the thoroughly discredited '5 million others' thing which even orthodox scholars admit is a fabricated number).

A few parts had me wondering if he's secretly revisionist and was trying to sneak in points that undermine the narrative. Like when he's explaining that there's way less evidence than people assume. I was like, er, are you sure you want to be saying that? But based on the rest of his content, I think it's safe to say he's not a revisionist. Just not a great presentation.

This one was a far superior effort.

By comparison that BreakingDan video is a real tour de force, no disagreement from me there.

The huge, bitter, red pills he was dropping in the beginning surprised me as well. It's not common for an orthodox presentation to be that up front. I've seen a couple of Israelis do it, in an academic setting (ask the students, 'how do we know' and then shoot each response down and then explain it is all based on the witnesses), but, a YouTube video for the masses? Normally they say 'the most documented genocide in human history' along with the other slogans.

There is also the Van Pelt video in there. It isn't exactly 'strong' either, but, the general thesis is the same. Part of why I included it.

Unless I am mistaken, both represent the orthodox thesis, and, it's super weak.

I'll add Shermer's 2020 presentation;
