Holocaust denial

[abaris]

By most modern estimates from active WWII historians, between 5 to 6 million Jews perished in concentration camps. There was not, at least to my knowledge, any concentration camp that was designed as an "execution camp".

Stop right there and get you facts straight. There have been numerous. Maidanek, Sobibor and Treblinka have been built with the sole purpose of systematically killing as many people as possible. And there's absolutely no dissent among historians that the intent was to eliminate at least all European jews. You get it from the horse's mouth, so to speak. The memoires of Rudolf Höss, commander of Auschwitz and later supervisor of the concentration camps system speak volumes, as do the witness testimonies of Franz Stangl, commander of Sobibor and Treblinka. And then of course there is the protocol of the Wannsee conference, held in january 1942, where the intent was made clear by Rainhaird Heidrich. There's the speech of Heinrich Himmler at a conference in Posen in october of 1942, talking to senior SS-officials about eliminating the jews (it has even been recorded) and there's the lesser known testimony of the SS-lawyer Konrad Morgen before the Auschwitz tribunal, held between 1963 and 1965 in the German city of Frankfurt.

And that's only scratching the surface.
