I agree that the 4 million number was made up. The website for
the Auschwitz Museum even agrees.
So they have no problems making numbers up then? Glad we agree.
It wasn’t until the 1980s and 1990s that the number was revised.
In 1992, Dr. Franciszek Piper, director of the Historical Research Department at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, published the book How Many People Perished in Auschwitz Concentration Camp, in which he stated that at least 1.3 million people were deported to the camp and that about 200,000 of them were transferred to camps in the depths of the Third Reich, with the remaining 1.1 million or more dying in Auschwitz
I wonder what else caused them to say that in 1992.
oh. So they wont ever tell you why yet again. Why is do they always lie?
That number I can believe because it was found through analysis of documents of the number of people deported to Auschwitz.
What about the people deported out of Auschwitz. Poster child Anne Frank herself was, so clearly other people were as well. Or did those documents get destroyed by the Soviets so they don't count?
Much better and more accurate records for finding the number of people who went to the camp than testimony and a check of the camp.
Except you are still relying on Soviet record keeping for all of it. So it's all worthless.
These things don't support the narrative. Even your insults make no sense.
It's called weaponized incompetence, they did zero fact checking to start with so they could freely insert their lies and then walk back the indefensible and keep the rest.
The evidence always suggested the number was much lower, and the earliest Holocaust historians in the 50s and 60s judged it to be around 1 million.
Prove it.
Perchance, do you have a single example of such a forgery?
No? Just another sly remark, or silence? The hits keep coming.
This is a good example of how you guys will look at something you don't understand (because you won't take 5 minutes to research it) , make up stories in your head about the facts on the ground or what people believe, and conclude we can only be in the presence of a conspritorial lie.
Projection.
almost all these 10,000 Soviet prisoners died within months of arrival.
So how do we know they were tattoo'd?
In spring 1942, the SS began systematically tattooing all incoming Jewish prisoners. This form of identification also was applied to very ill prisoners, predominantly Poles, who had been transferred from the camp hospital at Auschwitz I to the newly constructed camp at Birkenau (Auschwitz II).
why would you tattoo someone who is dying and presumably will kill shortly? This all makes so much sense.
In early 1943, the practice of tattooing prisoners at the Auschwitz camp complex expanded.
how do you expand on something you are doing to everyone?
Certain categories of prisoners, however, were exempt from the tattooing process.
we are tattooing everyone, except not everyone!
In addition, Polish civilians deported to Auschwitz after the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 were not tattooed. Some Jewish prisoners who were held in transit to other camps did not have to undergo this procedure.
sorry did we say everyone? We mean not even close to everyone.
The first series of prisoner numbers was introduced in May 1940, well before the practice of tattooing began.
and look a language slight of hand. Everyone got numbers but not everyone was tattoo'd.
The first series of prisoner numbers was introduced in May 1940, well before the practice of tattooing began. This first series was given to male prisoners and remained in use until January 1945, ending with the number 202,499.
So you've got a total of 200k numbers, where did 400k come from?
A new series of registration numbers was introduced in October 1941 and remained in use until 1944. Approximately 12,000 Soviet POWs were given numbers from this series (some of the POWs murdered at Auschwitz were never registered and did not receive numbers).
So they've got a new set of numbers for no reason. Also we have countless other people killed and not numbers. Gotta fuzzy that math up in case you start counting for yourself.
A third series of numbers was introduced in March 1942 with the arrival of the first female prisoners. Approximately 90,000 female prisoners were identified with a series of numbers created for female prisoners in March 1942 until May 1944.
So now we have 290k in total.
Each new series of numbers introduced at Auschwitz began with “1.” Some Jewish prisoners (but not all) had a triangle tattooed beneath their serial number.
why would they need a triangle unless you are backfilling information.
In order to avoid the assignment of excessively high numbers from the general series to the large number of Hungarian Jews arriving in 1944, the SS authorities introduced new sequences of numbers in mid-May 1944.
see tattooing one more number is such a hassle, we'd rather do exponentially more book keeping work instead.
This series, prefaced by the letter A, began with “1” and ended at “20,000.” Once the number 20,000 was reached, a new series beginning with “B” series was introduced. Some 15,000 men received “B” series tattoos. For an unknown reason, the “A” series for women did not stop at 20,000 and continued to 30,000.
the German people known for their ruthless efficiency and mechanical processes, throw it all away to just make numbers up at the first opportunity.
Numbers from this new series were assigned retroactively to “reeducation” prisoners who had died or been released, while their superseded general-series serial numbers were reassigned to new “general” arrivals. This was the only instance in the history of Auschwitz of numbers being “recycled.”
so they reused serial numbers, which everyone knows not to do but also released people instead of killing them in the gas chamber. I guess even Auschwitz itself can't help but deny the Holocaust.

"So during the war Wizard Hitler using his psychic mind control powers to order the complete extermination of the Jews by using post-hypnotic suggestions coded into various euphemisms. The Nazis were so tricky to never actually issue orders for this genocide unlike literally everything else, so tricky and evil."
"What?"
