What are some recommended books about the Holocaust?

>Hilberg thought Hannah Arendt was a plagiarist cunt:

Her work on the holocaust was of course lifted from Hilberg, but she basically worships him in the text. Her book is interesting not for that, but for the framing of the failure of kantian morality in the third reich and Eichmann's story in general.

Richard Evans as noted above is not a revisionist to the extent that a /pol/ fan would like, but he reframes the holocaust into a different light.

You had pre-war, where not many jews died and resettlement was a very real ideal
You had the war in the east, which was essentially a huge bloodlands (Bloodlands by Tim Snyder illustrates the absolute chaos and population losses among all ethnicities in that arena).
You had einsatzgruppen, which were def hunting jews, communists, and partisans and commiting atrocities outside the veneer of the wermacht
You had work camps where there were real hygiene and supply problems
You had death camps, which did exist. But to say 6 million died at deathcamps is where the real problem comes, when Hilberg thought it was between 4.9 and 5.1 million throughout the whole total war which took place in the pale of settlement. And Finkelstein points out this ridiculousness and the inflationary methods used by spielbergian elements to support israel.

There aren't very many. Most of the interesting and reliable people are the ones supporting the RIGHT to question, and voicing scepticism, but I've never come across anything that seemed like slam-dunk evidence that it's outright impossible for the mainstream narrative to be basically true.

A few try to situate Nazi atrocities in a context that allows them to be disregarded as "abnormal" and therefore not authentically a part of German history. Probably the most noteworthy is Ernst Nolte, known for the Historikerstreit:
versobooks.com/blogs/2809-domenico-losurdo-ernst-nolte-and-the-development-of-revisionism
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historikerstreit

If you look at this you start to see that what's really interesting about these debates is not so much the specific facts, as the fact that anti-revisionists are the original "deplatforming" movement. The debate isn't about right and wrong, it's about whether revisionists should even be allowed to speak, or whether it's even possible to consider revisionism for any reason other than manipulative cryptoantisemitism. Along these battle lines, political sympathies are subtly visible. Ernst Nolte was definitively conservative, and the tip of an iceberg of Germans who quietly resented their mandatory sentence of eternal self-loathing as penance for the holocaust. That's the real battle that was being waged under the surface at the height of these debates. Can we speak our minds and air our doubts in our own countries? Or is our media and government so obsessed with bourgeois samokritika that they will purge all internal dissent without even having to be forced to?

You probably would want to look at Carlo Mattogno if anything:
>The German historian Ernst Nolte was impressed by Mattogno's work, due to which he conceded that, with respect to "their mastery of the source material and especially in their critique of the sources," the revisionist studies on the topic "probably surpass those of the established historians in Germany" (Streitpunkte, Frankfurt/Berlin 1993, p. 304). And Jean-Claude Pressac, once the orthodox historian's hero for his attempts at refuting revisionists, characterized Carlo Mattogno as "the best revisionist researcher" ("Entretien avec Jean-Claude Pressac," in: Valérie Igounet, Histoire du négationnisme en France, Paris 2000, p. 642).

The Irving is really worth watching. He has a lifetime of extreme mastery over sources nobody else had access to. Finkelstein called him a useful "devil's advocate." He's also a fascinating and charismatic guy, if an asshole.

I'm hesitant to link this:
archive.org/details/OneThirdOfTheHolocaustHDVideoHQSound
because it simplistically debunks Hilberg and can lead to kneejerk laziness but he does scrutinize Hilberg's footnotes. Definitely don't solely watch this.

Good post again.

Also Evans points out that Hungary, the Baltic States (esp lithuania) Poland, the Ukraine, Romania, and the Balkans all had autonomous militias that happily went after the jews pogrom style, and that the soviets had problems bulldozing jewish villages. When you start clumping all this shit with demographic changes resulting from mass jewish flight to the americas and a loss of the paperwork from the war, the numbers get really wonky.

>But to say 6 million died at deathcamps is where the real problem comes

Good thing nobody says that. Around 1 million was killed by einsatzgruppe and many died in ghettos, pogroms in Eastetn Europe, randomly in bombings etc.

About half of Jews could have died in the camps, which only really started mass killings later in the war.

Thats the hollywood line that has settled in the popular mindset. there is no nuance in normie scholarship, to the point when demographic studies become immediately revisionist.

Hillberg got destroyed during cross in the 1985 Zundel trial. Track down a copy of the manuscript, it's amazing.

>Hillberg was forced
Hillberg was always a functionalist, you fucking retards.

you're not really helping your case when you illustrate it with a plaque that was removed 30 years ago. the "popular line" isn't six million dead in camps, it's six million dead altogether, which isn't exactly some ridiculous exaggeration compared to the five million you just quoted yourself.

Not sure about that, but you have to wonder; what kind of people make commercial success from the stories of their genocide? What kind of people make an enterprise out of tragedy?
Not people who deserve or even need my empathy, I wager.

>Irving is really worth watching. He has a lifetime of extreme mastery over sources nobody else had access to.
but what's the use of this when he's been shown to intentionally misquote and mistranslate these sources? you can neither trust him or verify it by yourself.

The difference is that SIX MILLION is a "theological" (compare to protestant retardation) number that allows Jewish autists to justify the founding of Israel / return.

Agreed with that this is the kind of shit that isn't helpful.

Also, holocaust denial is such a red herring. It's one big trap to make right wing people out themselves as crazy people to the mainstream. Obviously a lot about it is bullshit, and not being able to question it is retarded and totalitarian, but these two true problems with the Holocaust industry make it just tempting enough for right wing people to dive into it, and then for every legitimate point they make, 99% of mainstream normies go "oh he's one of THOSE people??"

Circumcised people, it seems.

that's a sudden goalpost shift from "the popular opinion is factually wrong" to "the popular opinion is approximately factually correct but gets abused politically"

>all those pearl Harbor museums bringing millions of dollars to the evil anglos
>all that Pearl Harbor propaganda pushed to all Asian races to make them hate themselves
Not really seeing it.

From that it is.
I don't think that more than 200 000 jews died in Europe during WW2, however. It's just a boogieman story used to traumatize children and make them hate themselves.

all foreskins present and accounted for on this one. the correct answer is everyone. everyone does this all the time.

if it's immoral to profit from tragedy then it is immoral to profit at all, not just profit greatly.

now do this one and then all the other ones from random shitholes all over the world where they don't even have enough jews around to form one film crew. everyone's selling everything they've got everywhere, from "my rape" to "my nation's genocide", you're just prevented by your jew fetish from noticing non-jewish examples.

a reasonable margin of error when approximating the number of dead in a conflict that spanned continents and resulted in major migrations and mass destruction of records.

i struggle to remember any of it. i think it got good reviews because, hey, wajda is old school and he's probably going to croak soon so let's just give him four stars for old times' sake.

That wouldnt even cover regular civilian deaths from misfires in Poland

Whoops meant to post a thread.

What's your take on One Third of the Holocaust? youtube.com/watch?v=v3JdI7Ahp3o

Inside the Concentration Camps is a compilation of interview excerpts. It is the source material for countless historical fiction books and movies. The sheer volume of material lends to deconstruction of the Jewish dialectic surrounding the Holocaust. Their stories, when viewed as a whole, do not lend towards credibility.

checked and kek'd

>deaths from misfires
What does this mean? That you were over-run because your weapon failed to fire? The proximal cause of death is something other than a failure to fire. This wreaks of obfuscation.

have you read the ball jar??

See, six million isn't that much man.
Eight million? What do you mean there weren't ten million Jews killed in the holodomor? Did you know twelve to fifteen million perished in the early forties?
