Reality Check and Cutting Through 'Uncensored and Unconstrained' Nonsense in CODOH's "Holocaust Encyclopedia": Auschwitz Death Books
2 years ago 99
Let's look into the arguments presented in CODOH's Holocaust Encyclopedia - Auschwitz Death Books. We'll take on a couple of the key points:
More Christians than Jews died at Auschwitz according to the death booksThe Auschwitz death books only represent a fraction of the camp’s reality. They are capturing a limited time-frame and especially excluding those directly sent to homicidal gas-chambers upon arrival. The majority of Jews were killed immediately upon arrival and they were thus not recorded
in the camp books, as established by numerous perpetrator and surviver testimonies and contemporary documents.
Very young and very old people in the death booksThe argument that the presence of young and old people
contradicts the "orthodox narrative" of immediate gassing is misleading.
Testimonies and historical records document that while the vast majority of deported people was
immediately gassed, some groups were occasionally selected for labour or
other purposes, including medical experiments, and could survive for varying
period.
High death rates during typhus epidemics as proof of natural causes of death
While typhus and other diseases did cause high mortality
rates, this argument overlooks the intentional harsh conditions created by
the Nazis, such as starvation, forced labor, and inhumane living
conditions, which exacerbated these outbreaks and increased mortality.
The implication that the catastrophic conditions were purely incidental
rather than a result of deliberate policies is historically inaccurate.
