David Baddiel's documentary "Confronting Holocaust Denial" goes into detail about the pro and cons of open debate with Holocaust deniers. I am obviously pro, though also understand why more public people like Lipstadt think it counter productive and a waste of their time.forasanerworld wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2024 9:44 pm The notion of refusing to debate so as to avoid 'giving credence to deniers' has perhaps no more famous (infamous) proponent than Deborah Lipstadt who refused a platform with David Irving.
(Note to Nessie Irving is not an ACADEMICALLY trained historian, but once had such an authoritative profile that professors, who were accademically trained histiruans, told their students that they would fail unless they quoted him), so confident were her defence lawyers of her ability to put her foot in her mouth that the refused her to even speak once in Irving's libel case against her.
That claim would come from someone who does not understand evidencing and what is required to prove a claim. The presence of the Prussian blue stains associated with Zyklon B, inside a room, merely proves the use of and exposure to Zyklon B within the room. That alone does not prove the room was a homicidal gas chamber.However, what is there to debate, exterminationists, in their endless contortions, have already proven the truth of the glassing story' by the inevitable consistency if truth, even though it was unintentional, it's simple as follows.
Varying explanations for the presence, it absence, of blue stains on walls.
1 presence of stains inside a gas chamber', proof of heavy use and lots of people gassed
It is not proof, it is suggestive of a low level of exposure.2 absence of stains, proof that only low dose was used and penetration is shallow and not permanent
No, it can also be evidence of no exposure.3 absence of stains in exposed areas, proof that stains wash off when exposed to the weather
No, it may be indicative that happened, but additional evidence is needed to prove that is the case.4 presence of stains on the OUTSIDE wall of a gas chamber', proof that mattresses had been stood against the wall after fumigation
Rather than apply Occam's Razor, the best result would be achieved through experimentation, and the exposure of Zyklon B to plaster, concrete, brick and the materials used in the Kremas and delousing chambers, to see what exposure levels are actually required to leave staining and how that is affected by washing or exposure to the elements. Anything not based on experimentation, is educated guess work at best.Apply Occam's Razor of simplicity to this nonsense, hydrocyanic acid residue penetrates deeply into wall material and indeed right through brick walls and remains resistant to deterioration even after eighty years.

They will claim that the amount of cyanide to kill people is infinitely smaller than that to kill lice and this is to justify the low residue of Prussian Blue in the masonry of the Kremas but Majdanek refutes this if there was a gas chamber there it left massive residue in the masonry, this having a much lower number of victims. Occam's Razor, was a disinfection room for clothes and the Kremas morgue attached to the crematorium.Nazgul wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2024 12:14 pmYou obviously have not read Germars book.Nessie wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2024 10:26 am

In 1943-4, the Liechenkellers in Kremas II, III, IV and V all operated both for delousing clothing and as morgues? How does that work? Where are your witnesses to that happening?TlsMS93 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2024 1:16 amThey will claim that the amount of cyanide to kill people is infinitely smaller than that to kill lice and this is to justify the low residue of Prussian Blue in the masonry of the Kremas but Majdanek refutes this if there was a gas chamber there it left massive residue in the masonry, this having a much lower number of victims.

OK. Disinfection chambers can also be used to gas people, which was reported at various camps such as Stutthof.
You have an odd standard of proof. Normally, proof would come from evidence such as witnesses who speak to working in the morgue, or documents that record bodies stored there. Since you don't have evidence, you try to argue they had to be used for storage, but your argument is flawed, because the corpses could go straight to the ovens for cremation. There is also evidence to prove outdoor cremations, so again, no need to store corpses.The proof is that they would have to store cadavers somewhere, the open air would not be
What inconsistencies? How do any inconsistencies fit with how people remember and recollect past events? How do they prove lying as you allege? How does your scrutiny fit with scientific studies of witness behaviour?
The Holocaust Narrative and Talking Points are however pushed so hard, plenty of academics will know them. They are usually skilled enough to make it appear as if there is at least a 'pat situation'. And given the 'consensus of serious historians'... they give the Holocaust Narrative a go ahead.Archie wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 3:12 am Looks like the debate is dropping tomorrow night.
Germar Rudolf vs. Michael Vann (hosted by Jake Shields)
I have not heard of Vann, but he is a prof of history at Sacramento State. Based on his Wiki page, it does not seem like he's a Holocaust specialist by any means.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_G._VannHe teaches a range of world history courses, including 20th century world, Southeast Asia, imperialism, and genocide.
If he accepted the debate, presumably he has studied up some on revisionism. From the listed publications it would appear he has written on mass violence in Asia but not much on the Holocaust directly.fireofice wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 3:42 am According to Wikipedia:

He teaches about "genocide" so he may know a bit about the Holocaust.
Oh he's one of those guys. I see."Sex and the Colonial City: Mapping Masculinity, Whiteness, and Desire in French Occupied Hanoi"
