As far as I know they were not gassed, anyway, nor burned.”
Well , he did say “ as far as I know”. I guess he don’t know sh*t about what happened. A self confessed moron it seems.

Agreed

Imho, deniers base much of their argument on the fact that most people do not know the differences between Nazi single purpose death camps (of which there were five), "work camps" (of which there were hundreds), and Auschwitz -- the largest of them all, and the only "dual purpose" camp.

Very few Jews survived the five single purpose death camps. Nearly all sent there were killed immediately -- in gas chambers, with Zyklon-B or carbon monoxide (for all his brutality, Stalin had no equivalent to Nazi death camps. After all, why go through the bother of gassings, when you could simply release your prisoners -- out into the arctic cold).

Many Jews survived the hundreds of various sized "work camps." Some of these camps did have small gas chambers, but no credible evidence shows they were used for industrial scale mass murder.

Auschwitz was the only camp built "dual purpose" for both work and mass murder.

Typical denier arguments point to work camps such as Dachau, and say, "see, no gas chamber murder here..."

Or they point to Auschwitz survivors and say, in effect, "why weren't you gassed too?"
