Does anyone have a recommendation for a book that goes in-depth questioning the "official", so to speak, narrative of the holocaust? I've done research on the Nazi's themselves and I've found enough evidence, at least in my mind, that there was enough hatred towards the Jews from figures like Himmler, Goebbels, Hitler etc. that leads me to believe a planned eradication of Jews doesn't seem like an outlandish idea. At the same time, I myself haven't combed through all of the concentration camp documents or all of the mass grave sites so I can't make an ultimate decision.

I'm genuinely willing to hear other people's side of the story, but infographics from /pol/ don't cut it for me.

The question has always been how many of the actually died and how many were really gassed. If Hitler wasn't prepared to kill the jews, then he was talking a lot of shit in mein kampf.

David Cole outlines the revisionist (not denier) viewpoint in an appendix of his memoirs, he's thinks Ron Unz of Unz.com is an absolute moron, see:

>> No.16540518

>>16540489
Even the "official" narrative doesn't have gassing making up more than a tiny portion of the total deaths. A lot of what people attack as the "Holohoax" is just crap spouted by middle school teachers, pop culture, and opportunists who write fake Holocaust memoirs. Not what you actually find in history books. /pol/ is pretty bad for this in that it constantly quotes ridiculous shit from obscure self-published crap as evidence that the Holocaust is fabricated.

>> No.16540541

>>16540518
Every official death count can be lessened upon evidence, but the jews are sticking to the six million number and never lowering it. If people really want to believe Hitler was able to fight world war 2 and still had enough men left over to send them around to kill 6 million jews, then I would really have to see some compelling data besides some alleged Jewish pop differences pre and post war. The japanese had hundreds of thousands killed in a couple of days with thr nukes and you don't hear them bitching and mosninh.

>> No.16540580

>>16540404
The reason why there aren't really any credible books that question the "official" narrative is because the Holocaust is the most well-researched, well-documented genocide in history with literally hundreds of thousands of eyewitnesses and testimonies, many of whom are still alive today. It's sort of like asking for a book that questions the "official narrative" of the Moon landing: you can spend a lifetime poking holes in the tiniest of discrepencies and making mountains out of molehills in order to accrue clout with your tiny circle of far-right lunatic buddies, but at

the end of the day, what happened happened. And in any case, the /pol/tard's obsession with disproving the Holocaust speaks more about the latent psychological insecurities of the /pol/tard than anything else (i.e. that the /pol/tard secretly knows he follows an evil ideology and is deeply ashamed of the only thing that gives him a semblance of personal identity, and desperately tries to disprove the Holocaust in order to delude himself of the real implications of his worldview).

The sheer enormous mass of historians who have studied the Holocausts has led to the "official" version of things being extraordinarily definitive, more so than any other "official" version of anything in the history of history academia.

The most interesting aspect of the Holocaust where you can find dissenting opinions and real discussion is not whether or not it happened (which, at this point, is sort of like discussing whether or not the Earth orbits the sun) but why it happened and how it reached such enormous proportions. In this area, there are a lot of competing theories, and some of the interesting "dissenting" theories postulate ideas such as that the Holocaust was less of a planned, methodical extermination and more of a chaotic, murderous free-for-all in which camp commandants were desperately trying to rachet up their kill scores to impress the higher-ups. Anyway, I leave it to you to do some digging.

You shouldn't start by taking something as an axiom, the "official narrative", then trying to disprove it. You won't get a real narrative but an autistic rejection of it based on odd grounds almost as a rule. You should instead start w a narrative you believe is true and then see how your narrative is more applicably and universally consistent than another narrative.
For instance, start w they killed nobody see where the contradiction comes. Don't start w "they weren't so bad as them". It's referential to their narrative and it's not well-defined.

This, I think you can do a better exposition of the "goods of nazism" by starting w something a bit more fundamental. This being said, many narratives of people will be contradictory. If this happens it's because the position or statement is not perfectly bound or defined. So you can't rely simply on narrative, anyone's. You have to work it out yourself.

Just trying to help. I assume your narrative would be one level deeper in that he got imprisoned because he was racist.
The issue is that your narrative doesn't account for law which prevents inciting hatred so you have to go one level deeper which can account for that better. If you're just rejecting shit out of hand with no better narrative you won't get anywhere.

I could help you with a narrative but you're going to have to build it up. Keep in mind I am Christian so I'm well-certain truth leads to God and thus away from genocide or any hate.

Because it incites hate and violence historically at the very least. You can assume it didn't incite violence in any way but hate is well-defined by law and there is easy recordings of this. So in that it's still law-breaking for that country. You have to prove that they didn't incite hate and that nazism necessarily leads to anti genocide or violence to argue that law away and that they were just mistaken.

This is not a false equivilance, either.

I'm being earnest when I say that the fact that the Holocaust happened is, in fact, a fact. People who haven't studied history love to prance about and say that there's no objectivity, everything is open to interpretation, etc., and this isn't true. You aren't smart for trying to handwave the decades and decades of empirical work done on this subject. Trying to constantly try and disprove the most well-documented genocide to have ever occurred is just dancing around the gravesite of your own intellectual corrosion. There are very reasonable juridical arguments for the anti-denial laws in Austria and Germany, which I invite you to look up (but I know that you won't in good faith), but the logic is sound given the type of society that Germany and Austria are trying to construct (i.e. not a Nazi society).

>> No.16540695

>>16540675
I'll even add you can assert that hate is okay based on something the laws cite, a constitution for instance, and is more developing of the constitution than the anti-hate laws. If you'd like to question the constitution you must rely on natural laws and asserting hate, as a "beneficial natural law", contradicts the statements of the constitution. Usually it helps to ontologize hate and be able to make a math or logic off this ontologized hate.

I've read some ones that attempt a universally-consistent structure and they don't work. I've read nazi textbooks on biology. "Survival of the fittest" is not a good narrative just like Might makes Right isn't for similar reasons. It only captures an extremely small subset of right, or truth, and a still small subset of social truths. We do more than compete when we talk to neighbors etc. Even still it's a bad strategy. Win-lose agreements is throwing the baby out with the bathwater in terms of goals. To go to the other side of the spectrum, the labor unions caused the bankruptcy of Hostess, I believe, by trying to get a higher paycheck which caused the closure of the facilities and the eradication of their jobs.
