Core revisionist claims include:

> The "death camps" were forced-labor, transit, or internment camps for unwanted civilians

At least 2/3rds of German-run concentration camps are acknowledged to have belonged to one of those three categories.
Revisionists claim all of them did.

> The "final solution" was ultimately population transfer to Russia of jews in the conquered territories

Ethnic population transfer is a common historical occurrence. Many empires have done it. It may be a crime against humanity, but it's not genocide.

> There is no physical evidence of gas chambers or mass shootings at "death camps"

Claims about how the gas chambers operated or mass executions were performed at the camps cannot stand up to archeological scrutiny. Which is why such investigations are banned. Those who have performed them have been subjected to legal and extra-legal persecution. This is why Germar Rudolf was sentenced to prison for chemical analysis of Auschwitz buildings and no paper was published by the Australian team who performed the GPR shown in OP's image.

> There is no documentary evidence that the Germans ordered, planned, or built death camps

This is acknowledged by mainstream holocaust historians. So instead of producing documents that contain explicit instructions for, plans for, or records of death camps they rely on a hermenutical interpretation of "coded language", whereby they read such things into mundane documents. This approach was pioneered by Raul Hilberg and still used today.

For more revisionist arguments I recommend reading "Debating the Holocaust" by Thomas Dalton.

There are over fifty books in the Holocaust Handbooks series. They are all meticulous academic works. Most have never been refuted. The few extant refutations are superficial gish-gallops. See >>16092099
