It all depends on how you figure things - and there is such a thing
as "Holocaust Arithmetic" annulling what you learned in First
Grade.
Here is one "for instance":
When the Auschwitz death toll was reduced by the Poles from 4 million to
1.1 million, then increased to the present 1.6 million, articles appeared
in the press at about the same time that the figure of Jewish deaths had
now risen to nearly 7 million. (Frankfurter Rundschau, 13.11.1996).
2.4 million fewer deaths make for the overall increase! Weird mathematics
indeed!
We have been over this ground several times in various ways before, and
there is no need to rehash it. Based on the work of Walter Sanning (The
Dissolution of the Eastern European Jewry, IHR, Torrance 1983) and others,
it seems reasonable to believe that between 500,000 and 1,500,000 Jews
died OF ALL CAUSES during the war. In the European slaughterhouse that
was World War II that took its victims from most countries and races, the
number of Jews who died in the camps was fairly small.
How many? That we may never know for sure.
What we do know is that the concentration camp "victimhood" is
greatly and irresponsibly exaggerated.
Take another look at Dr. Faurisson's chart of various fraudulent claims
regarding just one concentration camp, Auschwitz!
Have there been "revisions" to the original 66 Questions and
Answers? Indeed there have been. That is what Revisionists do - they revise
their data in light of new evidence. They chip away at lies so as to come
closer to the kernel of truth.
By contrast, the "6 million" myth stays the same in quarters
such as Nizkor - sometimes it even swells a bit! - no matter how much is
subtracted by logic, science, statistics and serious historical research.
Here is another "Holocaust" Promotion Lobby computation:
1) Until 1990, 6 million Jews had died in genocidal fashion, being
4 million in Auschwitz
2 million elsewhere (non-Auschwitz)
From 1990 on, the Auschwitz "count" was reduced from 4 million
to 1.5 million - in other words, 2.5 million less.
Therefore:
1.5 million in Auschwitz
2 million elsewhere (non-Auschwitz)
Holocaust Promotion Lobby "adjustment"
1.5 million + 2 millon = 6 million!
Amazing, isn't it? Put on your thinking caps!
