So-called revisionists just do not understand that all the evidence needs to be included, as they think cherry picking is acceptable and there should be just one or two forms of evidence that would prove everything.
Pure fantasy.

Pressac referred in his book to "the complete bankruptcy of the traditional history" and described it as "a history based for the most part on testimonies, assembled according to the mood of the moment, truncated to fit an arbitrary truth and sprinkled with a few German documents of uneven value and without any connection with one another." Pressac is correct about this and any plain reading of the secondary literature will confirm this. Your characterization of the secondary literature is based on your own ignorance and wishful thinking.

Evidence is any relevant data that would inform a conclusion. This includes material directly related to the point in question (like testimonies) but also contextual data which is necessary to evaluate the plausibility of the claims. A major difference between revisionists and Nessie is that Nessie believes that if there are multiple witnesses that the witnesses corroborate each other and that whatever they say is proven. Revisionists in contrast do not regard multiple similar testimonies as proof and revisionists use science and technical considerations to evaluate the claims. Mass graves with over 20 bodies per cubic meter, cremating a body with only 15 kg of wood, burning four bodies per hour in a single muffle, etc. These claims don't hold up no matter how many supposed "eyewitnesses" you trot out. According to Nessie, looking at the relevant contextual data is not allowed. We just have to believe the witnesses.

And then even on witnesses and documents Nessie is extremely selective. Nessie claims there's "no evidence" that LKs were morgues. If we point out that the blueprints call them morgues, he says they were converted later on (he can't explain why they didn't design them as gas chambers from the beginning which is the traditional story). When we point him to documents describing the rooms being used as morgues, Nessie simply dodges this and speculates that there was a "policy of keeping the usage of the Kremas as obscured and secret as possible."

When it is pointed out that Himmler, the man who ordered the construction of the crematoria, stated that they were built for hygienic purposes, Nessie (absurdly) claims Himmler is not a relevant witness.

That is wrong and I have said that on numerous occasions. Multiple witnesses claimed women were witches and the same for alien abductions. They are all wrong, therefore, multiple witnesses on their own are not enough to corroborate and prove the truthfulness of the event they allege. Archie knows this, so I can safely say that he is lying by misrepresenting me.

I have said that when an accused and witnesses agree with each other and corroborate, that is strong corroboration. There is not a court in the world, that does not attach credibility to a crime, where the accused admits the crime and speaks to the same events as those who witnessed what took place. But, there still needs to be other evidence, independent of the witnesses, to prove the crime could and did happen.
Revisionists in contrast do not regard multiple similar testimonies as proof and revisionists use science and technical considerations to evaluate the claims.
If that was the case, so-called revisionists would not repeatedly use witches and alien abductions as false analogies, comparing such to Germans building and operating gas chambers.
Mass graves with over 20 bodies per cubic meter, cremating a body with only 15 kg of wood, burning four bodies per hour in a single muffle, etc.
They are hypotheticals, based on incomplete evidence and estimations. A genuine scientific enquiry would accept that much of the data about how many people were buried in the mass graves, is missing and we do not know exactly how many were buried, in what size of graves and even what happens when naked corpses are dumped on top of each other, for months on end, where corrosive material may have also been used.
These claims don't hold up no matter how many supposed "eyewitnesses" you trot out.
Just because you cannot work out, to your satisfaction, how the gassings, graves and cremations worked, is not evidence to prove those events did not happen. You are biased and your opinion is clouded.
According to Nessie, looking at the relevant contextual data is not allowed. We just have to believe the witnesses.
That is a lie. I have spent many posts discussing the other, corroborating evidence, such as documents that record the construction of gas chambers inside the Kremas, and archaeological surveys of the AR camps that have found large areas of disturbed ground containing buried, cremated remains.
And then even on witnesses and documents Nessie is extremely selective. Nessie claims there's "no evidence" that LKs were morgues. If we point out that the blueprints call them morgues, he says they were converted later on (he can't explain why they didn't design them as gas chambers from the beginning which is the traditional story).
What is evidenced to have happened, is that the Kremas were originally designed with corpse stores, that Topf & Sons then converted for temporary use as gas chambers, which would have been converted back to corpse stores, once gassing operations had been completed. But, that did not happen. Krema I was instead converted to use as air raid shelter and the other Kremas were blown up, as the Soviets advanced and the Nazis knew it was likely A-B would need to be abandoned.

There is no traditional story as historians have disagreed on how much initial planning there was and how much did the original designers of the Kremas know about their intended use?
When we point him to documents describing the rooms being used as morgues, Nessie simply dodges this and speculates that there was a "policy of keeping the usage of the Kremas as obscured and secret as possible."

There are no documents describing the Leichenkellers as being used as morgues. Instead, there are documents that describe the transporting of corpses from around the camp to the Kremas. You assume they were stored before being cremated, but evidence of 24 hour cremation operations, negates the need for storage and the corpses likely went straight to the ovens.
When it is pointed out that Himmler, the man who ordered the construction of the crematoria, stated that they were built for hygienic purposes, Nessie (absurdly) claims Himmler is not a relevant witness.
https://www.codohforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=315
Himmler did not work at the Kremas. The buildings were evidenced to have been converted for a temporary gassing operation in 1943-4, after the AR camps had closed down. The long term plan, along with the expansion of Birkenau with the addition of the "Mexico" camp, was to use the buildings as crematoriums. There are also documents that refer to "special" actions, treatment and evidence the gas chambers were made to look like showers, hence any reference to hygiene, eas code for gassing.

That is Pressac's opinion. He then did a deep dive into the documentary evidence found at A-B and low and behold, it corroborated the witness narrative, confirming the events they described, of mass transports, selections, property theft, gassing in chambers that looked like showers and mass cremations.

The so-called revisionists here like a star witness and best evidence, so Henryk Tauber as star witness and the best evidence is made up of;

- every single person, Jewish or SS camp staff, who worked at Krema II, said it was used for mass gassing and cremation.
- senior camp staff, who would have known about camp operations, also said it was used for such
- German engineers from Topf & Sons also admitted there were homicidal gas chambers and mass corpse cremation ovens.
- documents from the camp's construction office and Topf & Sons record the construction of gas chambers and mass corpse cremation ovens, for a special operation that involved Jews, infirm camp prisoners and Hungarians undressing, their property being taken and those people disappear from camp records.
- photos of operations around the Kremas, with mass arrivals, selections and people not selected for work being sent into the Kremas, rather than to other buildings to be showered and deloused. Photos also evidence holes in the roof.
- the circumstantial evidence of the mass theft of personal possessions, which is more consistent with death than being resettled elsewhere
- evidence of Nazi motive, opportunity and conduct after the crime alleged, whereby the Kremas were destroyed.
- the recovery of part of a gas mask, vents and a shower head from the building ruins, which are consistent with the gas chambers disguised as showers.
- analysis of the ruins that confirm contact with HCN and that holes had been cut into the roof.

That evidence has to be taken in its entirety, and it cannot be cherry-picked with each piece analysed in isolation. Tauber's description of how the Kremas operated, is corroborated by multiple sources of evidence. Therefore, it is proven that he is being truthful.

Removal and reburial of buried human remains is considered by this lying POS to be "limited disturbance"???

It is a denier lie to minimise the sheer volume of evidence.
A - $100.00 reward - is being offered for each one of the 100 alleged “scientifically proven” mass graves / cremation pits in question that is proven - with the same standard of proof applied in U. S. civil courts - to actually exist and to currently contain the remains of - at least 2 people. (That is less than one tenth of one one thousandth of one percent of the alleged mass murder.)

Note: The 6 original fraudulently alleged “huge mass graves” of Treblinka II that were alleged by “authoritative eyewitnesses” and allegedly - “PROVEN” - to exist in the early show trials - MODEL - MAP - (but never proven to exist), are also included in the above reward offer. (A photo of one of these 6 fraudulently alleged “huge mass graves” can be seen - HERE.)

Also note: This reward offer, as it applies to Treblinka II, can also be claimed for each 14 pounds of human remains dicovered - ANYWHERE - within the camp boundary.

https://thisisaboutscience.com/
Also nessie:
No matter what the claim is, the burden of proof is on the claimant.

I have never had any issue with accepting the burden of proof.

There is no circumstance in which I reverse the burden of proof.

If you make a claim, it is up to you to prove it. If I make one, it is up to me.

How can "deniers" "minimise the sheer volume of evidence" if you can't even tell us what the sheer volume of physical evidence is?

What are you waiting for? What are you so afraid of?

I refuse to believe in the existence of any physical entity that I am not allowed to see.

If you want me to believe, then simply: Show me that which you allege I deny.
If the physical evidence for a claim that - HAS TO EXIST - in order for the claim to be true - DOES NOT EXIST - then that claim is false.

Yes, but so far, you have been unable to rebut this rebuttable presumption:

BELZEC, CHELMNO, PONARY, SOBIBOR and TREBLINKA II

Are the remains of 2.145 million Jews really buried in the 100 alleged “scientifically proven” mass graves?

(The labeling of asking this legitimate adjudicable question as “hate / antisemitic” is your first clue that they do not want you to know what the answer is.)

OPENING / FUNDAMENTAL STATEMENT OF FACT: It is alleged in orthodox historiography that; during WW II, the bodies and burnt remains of hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of Jews were buried in numerous “huge mass graves” at Belzec, Chelmno, Ponary, Sobibor and Treblinka II. However, despite all the deceptive, unsubstantiated allegations to the contrary, the truth is, the largest (in terms of quantity of remains) of the 100 graves in question that are fraudulently alleged to have been “scientifically proven” to currently exist at these five sites, in which verified human remains have been uncovered / tangibly located via bona fide, verifiably honest and conclusively documented archaeology, contained the remains of - ONLY SIX PEOPLE.

Note: Using the information presented on this website and applying legal standards used in U.S. courts, the above opening / fundamental statement of fact, which is written as, and can be defined as - a rebuttable presumption - can be - LEGALLY - ACCEPTED - AS - TRUE - in a U.S. court.
