Historians: What are the best proofs, that you know of/have links to, that the Holocaust did in fact happen?

by Ubernox

I'm looking for material to use against those darn denier types. They always have their arguments, like the Auschwitz Olympic Swimming Pool thing, and I was wondering where I could find good material/links/proofs/primary sources to use against them - so I thought I might come and ask you lot!

Well now.

First of all, there are literally tens of thousands of books and articles, as well as hundreds of museums and archives with primary sources on, about and from the holocaust, not to mention the remaining survivors, perpetrators and witnesses.

Secondly, the deniers are not in the business of searching for the truth, their aim is to falisify history to further their racist agenda.

However, if you do want to have a look at some of the main arguments they come up with and how those arguments distort reality, I can highly recommend the Holocaust Controversies blog. It is run by a few tireless and, as far as I am concerned, heroic individuals who go into the claims of the deniers and debunk them one by one. Here one of them is discussing the Auschwitz swimming pool story.
