This Rudolf interview is instructive;
"Let me therefore go back to the only two books that actually focused on nothing but the statistical topic of Jewish population losses in Europe during World War II. There is the revisionist work The Dissolution of Eastern European Jewry written in 1983 by Walter N. Sanning, aka Wilhelm Niederreiter, and the anthology Dimension des Völkermords (Magnitude of the Genocide) edited in 1991 by political scientist Wolfgang Benz.
While Sanning sets the unexplained losses of the European Jewry at an order of magnitude of 300,000, Benz, in accordance with traditional teaching, arrives at a figure of some six million.
L: Well, great! The difference couldn’t be more striking. Which of the two works is the one you would recommend?
R: Benz’s book is today regarded as a standard. To a large extent it rests upon considerably more extensive source material than Sanning’s.
L: So we have six million dead Jews after all!
R: Easy now, and let’s go step by step. Even though Benz’s book is obviously a reaction to the revisionist work, it makes no attempt at a direct and serious discussion of Sanning’s arguments. Sanning himself is mentioned only once in a footnote, and then only to be defamed.15
L: That is not really a very scientific approach!"
R: Right, and all the more so as Benz expressly published his book to refute revisionist theses. Because of this lack of a discussion of revisionist arguments, one can only place the two works side by side and compare the statistics the authors present. That is precisely what I have done (Rudolf 2003a, pp. 181-213).
Let me make a résumé of the most important results. First of all, it turns out that in both works the victims of the Holocaust are defined in entirely different ways.
While Sanning tries to add up only those victims who died from direct killings in line with a National Socialist (NS) persecution policy, Benz attributes to the Holocaust all Jewish population losses in Europe, including those of people killed in action while fighting in the Red Army, victims of Soviet deportations and forced-labor camps, surplus of deaths over births, or religious conversions.
What is more important, though, is the fact that Benz completely neglects the migrations that occurred immediately prior to, during and after the Second World War.
This is where the central problem of any statistical treatment of the subject is hidden, however.
Benz casts completely aside the emigration of Jews from Europe to Israel and to the United States, which became known as the Second Exodus.
It started before World War Two, was largely interrupted in 1941, and reached its peak in the years between 1945 and 1947.
Benz also deals only very briefly with the migrations of Jews within eastern Europe, such as the number of Polish Jews who managed to escape before the advancing German armies – Sanning makes a convincing case for a figure of around one million – or the percentage of Soviet Jews who were deported to Siberia and elsewhere by the Soviets in 1941, after hostilities broke out with Germany, and in 1942.
L: Do you mean to say that Stalin deported Jews to Siberia?
R: Absolutely. Sanning quotes figures announced by Jewish charity organizations at the time which speak of somewhere between half a million and one million Jews who were moved east when the war with Germany broke out. Stalin himself attacked the Jews massively during the “Great Purge,” which took place in 1937 and 1938.
Why. Holocaust denial is one of the most dangerous free speech activities you can do across the world. Revisionists have been jailed or assaulted for the last 70 years. If anything revisionists are Chads, and anyone believing in the holocaust is a fag. This is something everyone can agree on given the above.
