(1) The vast majority of Holocaust victims died from starvation. Can't be bothered to look this up but it was in the UK School Curriculum a few tears ago. The Gas Chambers were not the main feature.
(2) Roughly half of Holocaust victims were not Jews. Now if the Holocaust was designed to eradicated Jews why did the NAZIS waste so much time on non-Jews.
(3) Roughly half of Holocaust victims died after the war in American custody from the effects of starvation. That means somehow they survived the NAZIS until the end of the war.
(4) A question a 9 year old girl asked me after doing the Holocaust course in UK school history. Why did the NAZIs kill their slaves during the war when they needed them the most. My answer was I don't know, but I suspect its because Germany ran out of food.
(4.5) Britain faced the exact same problem of food shortages and that led to the 1943 Bengal Famine that killed 3 million Indians. We shipped food away from our slaves to feed our soldiers just as I suspect Germany did. This gave rise to one of Churchill's more infamous quotes: when challenged about the huge loss of life he said "serves them right for breeding like rabbits." This the man who compassionately ran to the aid of the Jews. Adds up obviously stealing food from Indians in British slavery to feed soldiers to free Jews in German slavery.
(5) How many people starved in NAZI occupied Europe from the affects of war. All these figures are grouped under "war crimes" but clearly people starved from supply lines being cut which was no fault of the Germans. To my mind the majority of people who starved in the Holocaust were not deliberately starved by the Germans, the Germans literally ran out of food. When Victor Frankl talks about the watery gruel they serve in Auschwitz he does need compare it to the water gruel the soldiers and rest of Germany were eating at the same time. Germany had no food for anyone!
This list is as long as you want it, but these are just some obvious non controversial starters.
So this is not Holocaust denial, it is questioning the place and significance of the Holocaust and to what extent Jews are significant in the Hegemony. Jews obviously have always enjoyed a centre place in Europe owing to Jesus and Christianity, but that is the end of the real association. Can it be brought into the 21st Century and is the Holocaust really the vehicle to do this?
