Very very well stated.It has been an 'estimate' since 1918 in fact....If one believes the N.Y. Post.
Do some research, just a smattering for a change, & you'll find that GG'S figures are both accurate & correct as it currently stands.
1.6 million fatalities for all concentration camps combined, with the greater Auschwitz camps (Also comprising Buchenwald) accounting for 1.1 million....Which is at the maximum range of current best estimates....Most current historians believe it to be closer to between 6-800K....With approximately 55% of all fatalities comprising Jewish people.
In All the other camps - apart from the greater Auschwitz area - The great majority of the prisoners died from typhus & malnutrition.....That is a historical fact....The reason for these camps being in Auschwitz in the first place, where for their proximity to plants that were utilising the precious metals in that area.....In other words; as a cheap mass-producing work-force.....Much as is the case with most American prisons today.
It is only at Auschwitz & it's sister camp Buchenwald, that claims for the existence & use of Gas Chambers for mass extermination are up for debate....The one at Auschwitz has been exposed as having been principally used as an air-raid shelter, with 5 rooms comprising toilet & bathroom facilities....Only after the war were these demolished & the 4 air-vents installed as a device for claiming it was used as a 'mass-extinction' facility, in order to accommodate the fictional narrative, mostly made up of post War U.S.S.R propaganda, in seeking to paint & demonising the NAZI'S as inhuman monsters....That myth still persists to this day.
That particular facility only has minimal traces of cyanide, wholly inconsistent with any claims to being a mass-extinction gas chambers.
Further....The 2 old wooden houses at Buchenwald - Also claimed to be mass-extermination gas chambers - lack all the necessary requirements to fulfil the criteria of adequately accommodating that narrative.....The doors are wooden & there is no evidence for the hermetic seal & external vents necessary for such an operation to take place.....There would be no safe means or capacity to remove the dead bodies without being overcome & asphyxiated by the cyanide fumes that would still be present.
Facts, Not fancy.....Your ploughing the usual 'Worst Holocaust in human history' hysteria, as a means by which to silence investigation in separating the facts from the fancy by way of evidence & analysis simply will not do here.
The reason people scoff is because it's wired/programmed into their brains - various incidents in lore and history. Their world shatters and so they just knee jerk scoff
