Eliete of Terroists

It's the old Sir Humphrey trick - bury whatever point they're making in the middle of a pile of boring, inconsequential shit. If you don't make it that far, they won't do another damn thing; but a hundred pages later they will swear that they already gave you the evidence and it's not their fault you ignored it.

Don't try to pull a Civil Service on an ex-Civil Servant.

Right.  Well, I fast-forwarded to about episode 20, which talked about a lack of evidence for cyanide killings . . . It said that some scientist or other (a name was given) had checked the walls for residue indicating the presence of cyanide, and had found none.

The Leuchter Report

Holocaust denialists often point to the Armleuchter[99] Leuchter Report as 'evidence' that the gas chambers were not gas chambers. The Leuchter report found that significantly fewer cyanide traces were found in the gas chambers than in the delousing chambers, and concluded that this somehow proves that the gas chambers never contained HCN. This conclusion is based on incorrect assumptions about the concentrations of HCN needed to kill lice and to kill humans. In delousing clothes, concentrations of up to 16,000 ppm are sometimes used, and exposure time can be up to 72 hours; while 300 ppm will kill people in 15 minutes or so. Not only were the concentrations themselves higher, but the length of contact was much greater. Thus, the walls of the delousing facility should have a much greater concentration of detectable cyanide today, which is what the original Leuchter report and the Polish report both confirm. [100] The main problem with Leuchter's original report is a flaw in the major premise: that cyanide traces should be found in the homicidal gas chambers at a comparable rate as found in the delousing chambers. This is completely backward to reality, and it plays on a misunderstanding that people have about HCN. The average person would believe that it would take as much, if not more, HCN to kill a person than to kill a lice or flea. However, this is not the case. In fact, a much lower concentration of HCN is needed to kill any warm-blooded animal as opposed to cold-blooded. The institute's team found significant potassium cyanide residue in delousing facility samples, while next to none in alleged "gas chamber" samples. If the gas chambers were used for something other than murder, NO as in ZERO cyanide should have been found there. Not even the smallest trace amount. The fact that Leuchter did find trace amounts of cyanide in the gas chamber walls confirms, contrary to the Leuchter's report's conclusions, that they were, in fact, gas chambers.

Much of Leuchter's claims are refuted in Errol Morris' 1999 documentary Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr..

I have no intention of watching 6 hours of holocaust denier propaganda. Harris can likely find the answers at http://www.nizkor.org/ if he so desires.
