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...

The existence of the gas chambers is, on the face of it, also an extraordinary claim, which is why I feel that a careful evaluation of the evidence is necessary -- and as you and others pointed out, this is exactly what Lyle didn't do.
