Holocaust Revisionists: Disbelief in Genocide through Gas Chambers

There are numerous events that have occurred in history, they have been documented and analyzed. Most of these events are taught in schools all around the world. But, the one event that still causes much conflict amongst those who are educated on the topic, the Holocaust; an event that has forever changed the lives of some and will continue to impact others throughout their life. The Holocaust has caused conflict between those who agree with the occurrence and those who feel that it is merely a myth. Historians who study the Holocaust often have disputes about the Holocaust and related topics. Between 1939 and 1945, Jewish citizens who lived in Germany had their rights taken

According to a video posted online of a man speaking about his revisionist ideas towards the Holocaust, stated that gas chambers could not have been used because if the victims inside were wearing clothes, then as soon as the doors would have been opened to cremate the dead bodies, then the cyanide would have killed the people cleaning the chamber (Cole 1994). According to nizkor.org (1989), “After undressing the victims were led into the gas chamber -- where they were told they were going to have a shower, after which they would receive a meal and be assigned to work.” The source clearly states that the victims were undressed before they had been put in the gas chambers.

Such traumatic events cannot be lied about. Revisionists may ask how there could have been survivors if the methods for mass killing were so efficient. The survivors at the time of World War II were kids; some were just being born when the war had occurred. Those who were taken in by families had survived. Their parents had given their children to strangers and asked them to take care of the children. According to holocaustsurvivors.org (1999), there was a story from one woman, Jeannine Burk, who had survived the events. On this website, along with other survivors, the recordings of Jeannine Burk were shared. Her stories describe how she had been away from her family for two years, hidden in a stranger’s home. Also her story of losing her father in the Auschwitz camp was shared. “The only people that knew her name were my parents. I was a little girl then. They took me to the house--my father actually--he brought me into the house, and that was the last time I ever saw my father” (Menszer 1999). Another survivor, shown on the same website, shared pictures of the occurrences, a picture that stood out was the number tattooed on his arm that was given to him as a registration number. “Frieda Radasky holds the arm of her husband, Solomon Radasky, next to the tattoo of his Auschwitz registration number, 128232. The numerals add up to 18 which forms the word "life" in Hebrew”
