    I think I have just said the same things. These are not my arguments.

    What lynn1212 rightfully said is that it's easy to jump from what you said to what some revisionist Holocaust-denyers will say or have said. This is why it's such a touchy subject.

    I'm glad to see most of you agree with me that it's not the how, but the why that matters; it's not about establishing how many were killed, but that they were killed and why. That there may be errors in the commonly known history about the how is of course a pity, and it should be altered by serious research; however, this will probably only lead to what you present here, to the fact that methods of mass murder differed from camp to camp but that it was still mass murder everywhere.

    Yes, Roel. A nice "The end" for the discussion, I think.

    The problem is, that the revisionists keep finding strange inconsistencies and the established History doesn´t want to hear about it.
    In effect, there are lone, frustrated antisemites everywhere, reading these revisionist revelations nad telling one another over internet or otherwise:

    "these bloody jews are selling the stupid, story of so called "holocaust" to suck money from the Germans and to have an alibi for occupyin Israel! I always knew! HA! Liars, all of them. Now they live in USA all of them and get rich on German pensions, suckers!"

    This is the problem: Historians laziness or fear of the unknown(s) feeds revisionism and antisemitism. And why are historians afraid? Because Jewish organizations are veeery sensitive about all the details. Holocaust is Holy and unassailable, period. They create thus their own enemies.
    Like Rabbi Loewe in Prag constructed Golem. Remember?

    I am not going to write anything more about this, for there is nothing more to say.
    To end this subject (as far as I am concerned), I´d like to show you a picture of one of my grandgrandgrandgrandgrandfather and -mother´s grave, which I´ve found recently, and who were happy not to have lived in XX century.
