About how many Jews died in the concentration camps?
36. About how many Jews died in the concentration camps?
The IHR says (original):
About 300,000.
The IHR says (revised):
Competent estimates range from about 300,000 to 500,000.
Nizkor replies:
Again -- what would the "revisionists" be saying if real
historians changed their figures around like this, raising their
estimates by sixty-six percent? Yet when they do it, it's all right.
In reality, more than 3,000,000 died in the camps (the rest
behind the Eastern front
and in the ghettos). The two worst camps were
Auschwitz
(about 1.3 million victims, 1.1 million of them Jews) and
Treblinka
(about 800,000 victims, nearly all Jews but also about 3,000 Gypsies).
And didn't they say in
question 7
that "tens of thousands" died in British concentration camps,
which made them "far worse than any German concentration camp"?
Another internal contradiction.
And if "competent estimates" range only to 500,000, then
arguably the world's most famous revisionist,
David Irving,
must be incompetent by a factor of eight. Irving has recently surprised
everyone by
stating
that he now believes that as many as four million Jews may have died in
the concentration camps.
