Holocaust archaeology: uncovering vital evidence to prove the deniers wrong


Quote:
It’s now 75 years since Soviet troops liberated the notorious death camp at Auschwitz and the vast majority of Holocaust survivors are no longer with us. The impact of continuing to research the Holocaust can, therefore, not be underestimated. The further away we move from the events and the more first-hand witnesses we lose, the more disconnected we feel, both individually and as a society.

As an archaeologist, I have experienced first hand how using a measured, scientific approach to the investigation of these atrocities can help to answer questions, heal communities, bring closure and allow for a more balanced approach to the representation of the subject.

The presentation of rigorously researched scientific evidence to support the known (and sometimes forgotten) history, has become ever more important at a time when this is being challenged by misinformation, competing narratives and populist movements.

I have visited Auschwitz a couple times. It is fairly well preserved.

After the bodies were cremated the human ashes were collected and buried. Later when it became clear that Germany was loosing the war, those ashes were dug up and feed into the rivers, so that little or no evidence of the crime could be left.

I had a book that was rather unusual. I wish I remembered where I put it. It contained a partial record of the events from the eyes of Sonderkommando. Sonderkommandos were work units made up of German Nazi death camp prisoners. They were composed of prisoners, usually Jews, who were forced, on threat of their own deaths, to aid with the disposal of gas chamber victims during the Holocaust. They knew that they would not survive because they were routinely rounded up and exterminated.

These individuals went through great lengths to record their experiences. Normally this was done on scrolls. The scrolls were surrounded by a hand made metal container and many were buried with the ashes of the victims.

After the war, several of these records were found. Many were in poor condition. The book I had was a record of these preserved texts.

I don't think you need to prove to any Holocaust denier wrong. Just have them visit Auschwitz.

Grim and depressing a task as it is it is necessary to do what we can to preserve places like the death camps to maintain the memory of what happened.

There are some people that "proof" will persuade but there are some(IMHO the vast majority) of Holocaust deniers that any and all proof will be viewed as further evidence of the evil world Jewry conspiracy. There are people that have a psychological need to believe all problems are the result of nefarious conspiracies. While all groups will have people believing that they are part of some bad conspiracy for reasons I do not fully understand Jews fulfill this need and fulfill this need for more people, more intensely, and more consistently than for most other groups.

Just read "The Holocaust Industry" by Norman Finkelstein.

People are allowed to celebrate two nuclear weapons being dropped on civilian cities in Japan but calling out this subject being used to cover for Israel's crimes is pure evil you know :roll:
