Diesel gassings, instantaneous gassings, instantaneous ventilation, Zyklon through shower heads, 5-minute cremations, etc. You've repeatedly avoided confronting these simple scientific facts, which shows you're just not serious about this debate. Instead you try to excuse impossibilities with logical blunders like this one:
I suspect that this fallacious logic would be out of place even among alien truthers, yet it is a standard rationale for Holocaust believers. Your statement neatly echoes this amusing classic quote from Pierre Vidal Naquet and thirty three other defenders of the narrative in 1979:
But any objective thinker can see that this makes the evidence dependent on the conclusion instead of the other way around.It is not necessary to ask oneself how, technically, such a mass murder was possible. It was technically possible because it happened.
Three letters to Le Monde (1978-1979)
Presentation of May 8, 2000
In the very last days of the year 1978 the Faurisson affair exploded in France, an affair that, it may be said, had been smouldering since 1974 with the first attacks on Robert Faurisson in the French press for his revisionist views. The spark that set off this explosion on December 29, 1978 was the appearance in the national daily Le Monde of a text by the Professor entitled “Le ‘problème des chambres à gaz’ ou la rumeur d’Auschwitz”. In the same issue, that piece was accompanied by a set of antirevisionist articles amounting to a veritable barrage fire. Since the law provides for a “right of reply”, the Professor was able to answer that assault publicly by a letter printed in Le Monde of January 16, 1979. Several weeks later, on February 21, his opponents were offered the opportunity by the same paper to publish other pieces, among which a solemn “historians’ declaration” bearing thirty-four signatures. That text was drafted by Léon Poliakov and Pierre Vidal-Naquet. Its conclusion was disturbing. In reply to R. Faurisson, who had asked how the homicidal gassings imputed to the Germans of the Third Reich had been possible on the concrete, technical level (especially considering, on the one hand, the nature of Zyklon B – which is a pesticide –, the difficulties of ventilation when using hydrogen cyanide gas and the layout of the rooms presumed to have served as chemical slaughterhouses, and, on the other hand, the draconian safety measures that must be taken by the personnel of American penitentiaries for the execution of a single convict by means of the same gas), the thirty-four historians had this to say:
One must not ask oneself how, technically, such a mass murder was possible. It was possible technically, since it happened. That is the compulsory point of departure for any historical inquiry on this subject. It was our responsibility to recall this truth in simple terms: there is not, there cannot be any debate about the existence of the gas chambers.
Did such a conclusion not amount to surrender on the part of L. Poliakov, P. Vidal-Naquet and the other signatories?
Still, Faurisson, once again, on February 23, finding himself under fierce attack in the columns of the Monde, sent another “right of reply” piece to the daily which we entitle below: “One proof… one single proof”. Le Monde, doubtless alarmed at the size to which the affair was growing, refused to publish this text while at the same time inviting the Professor’s adversaries to carry on with their own offensive.
These three pieces are a landmark in the history of revisionism. Yet, although their existence is, assuredly, known of abroad, they seem not to have been published in any language besides French, except for some partial and flawed English and German translations.
