This will probably piss off almost everyone reading this, but...

While reading some critical evaluations of whether the Third Wave experiment happened as described, I happened on a page arguing that there were no gas chambers in Nazi death camps. This is not a piece of Holocaust denial -- the writer of the article seems to think that most of the other details of the Holocaust are too well documented to be in any question -- but it does appear to be a well-reasoned, thoughtful job. If anyone can find holes in his arguments, I'd be interested to know what they are.


Update, about 13 hours later: While I'm not withdrawing my post, I'm beginning to think I may have posted too soon. The article appears to have been less well thought out than I originally thought. That's what comes from posting on impulse in the wee hours of the morning...

I would curious how much of his opinion is based on scientific analysis....

I'm scratching my head.... how exactly did he prove that the gas chamber isn't a gas chamber & really... what difference does that make? there were a large number of dead bodies obviously dead at their hands.... what exactly is his point? to prove that nothing happened?

No, I don't think that's his point. I think he's just pointing out that one particular claim may not have as much behind it as is commonly thought.
