I read the summation but didn't get the same thing from it you did. Remember these are court room argumants to try to keep someone from jail.
The evidence still remains across Poland and Europe of towns and villages where Jews once lived and where they can no longer be found. Families dissappeared far too many to be the result of typhus or deprivation as suggested.
When the army walked into the concentration camps at the end of the war the gassing had already stopped the bodies were indeed those who died of typhus and starvation. The gassed individuals were already cremated.
Who suggested the crematoria rang on coal or coke? There are other fuels such as gas. It is also possible that people who unloaded such fuels were dead. I agree that to shift the fuel needed by hand was a mammoth task but I also know that the Nazis had no problem utilising Jews as slave labour. I can fully accept the scenario of Jews being used in this way.
We have papers, letters, photographs and confessions which all build a picture of what happened.
We have eye witness testimony. We have physical evidence.
The trial was more about the mans right to hold extreme views and express them rather than whether the views were factually correct or not.
Having jewish heritage and knowing peope from the camps I have no reason to doubt the Holocaust only mourn those that were lost.
