I'm very wary of situations where the majority will dog-pile with mockery, but will not address the points.
But you could know the truth about it. For one, you could listen to the Himmler speech I posted. That's coming directly from the horse's mouth, so to speak. A few idiots try to sell it as fake, but it's accepted by the whole scientific community and there are also transcriptions made of the speech at the time. Speer, in his later years, tried his utmost to prove that he wasn't there to save his legend.
You could also watch or read the transcriptions of the Nuremberg tribunal. Among others Höss, commander of Auschwitz and a certain Otto Ohlendorf were witnesses. The didn't even try to deny what was happening. Höss admitted to 2 millions being killed during his command alone. Ohlendorf, head of an Einsatzgruppe, admitted to 80.000 being shot by his unit alone. There's also the testimony of Oswald Pohl, more or less the quartermaster of the SS, who went to great length explaining how they obtained sufficient quantities of Cyclon B from the IG Farben.
Franz Stangl, commander of Treblinka and Sobibor gave testimony at his own trial in the late 60ies. Eichmann at Jerusalem made no effort to deny the final solution. He even took pride in penning down the protocol of the Wannsee conference in early 1942, which set the final solution in motion. And not only in Jerusalem. Eichmann gave a series of interviews to journalist Willem Sassen, back in the 50ies, when he was still at large. There he confirmed every bit of what he said in Jerusalem. Look up the transripts.
Look up the Auschwitz trial at Frankfurt between the years 1963 and 1965. Look up the testimony of Konrad Morgen. Former SS judge and investigating Auschwitz on suspicion of corruption in 1943.
And last, but certainly not least. There are numerous testimonies by Holocaust survivors, some of them working at the Sonderkommando at Auschwitz, who were ocupied with getting rid of the corpses.
There's ample evidence for the Holocaust happening exactly according to the accepted narrative. There's no evidence of it not happening or being less murderous.
