Can you show irrefutable proof that the figures provided by Jewish sources re the Holocaust are accurate?

Question

My previous questions have been met with angry rhetoric but no accurate facts or resources to explore the issue.

Who has the presence of mind to do so?

Answer 1

How about the testimony of thousands of Jew's, US Soldiers, German Soldiers, and civilians?

Compare that with a relative few insane Holocaust deniers with no first hand experience, no proof, and completely blind to the facts.

Answer 2

Yeah... I imagine that if I had lost a friend or relative in the Holocaust (fortunately, all my relatives that I know of were in the Americas or serving in the South Pacific at the time, so I only have accounts of my friends who lost aunts, uncles, parents, etc.), I probably wouldn't take too kindly to people who seem to be intent on disproving it, or minimalizing it, as if it would be okay if only 10 million, or eight million, or only five million (I'm speaking in terms of the Holocaust as a whole, not just the approximately six million Jews, who were the primary, but not the only, target) people were brutally murdered. Or as if it would be okay if they could just somehow discredit the cruelty of the Nazis' methods of mass murder.

Living now in a time when a country not far from Israel is developing nuclear material while their president repeatedly declares that Israel will soon be exterminated, and when that same president seems intent on opening "scientific" inquiries into the Holocaust... well, it seems logical that the first step in easing the conscience of those who would wipe us out would be to eradicate that reminder on everyone's minds of the depraved depths to which man can plummet. The Iranian position seems to be that the Holocaust didn't happen, but they'll make sure that it does.

Maybe that has something to do with all the "angry rhetoric" you've been receiving.

The fact is that if you wanted resources to study the Holocaust, you could very easily have found them by going to any search engine and typing some relevant terms. It would have taken you all of three seconds (maybe eight seconds if you're a slow typer) to do so. Therefore, it seems far more likely that your intent is not learn, but to provoke, and, now, to slander those who have responded to your previous questions with justifiable indignation.

On the off chance yours is an honest inquiry (the fact that your question is just dripping with arrogant vitriol indicates the opposite, but I'm giving you the benefit of the extreme doubt here), why don't your start with Yad Vashem? They have the largest repository of information about the Holocaust, and in fact, they're still compiling records on its victims to this very day.

Answer 3

If you are referring to the numbers of the people who died, each concentration camp had a list of all who came in to the camp. After the war, most places matched up the names on the list with those who were still surviving when the camps were liberated. The rest were listed as either dead or missing.

If you are referring to whether the holocaust actually existed, go visit a camp. In Bergen-Belsen, they have huge mounds of mass graves with signs that say "Hier rühen 2500 Tote" (In English, "here rests 2500 dead"). Some say more, like 5000. At Buchenwald and Dachau, most of the buildings are still intact. One can walk through the buildings where they had their "physical examinations". The gas shower rooms and ovens are still in place at both camps. When I walked through the gate and saw "Arbeit macht frei" (work makes one free) over the door, I immediately felt sickened.

Answer 4

I doubt it will be accurate to the last corpse, but reasonable enough as an estimate.

Answer 5

Do they match the records kept by the Nazis? The Nazis were fanatical about keeping records.
