What revisionists have stated

According to prominent revisionist Prof. Dr. Robert Faurisson, there are three controversial central "themes" of Holocaust revisionism.

1. No Extermination Order: There was no extermination order issued by Hitler or anyone else. There is no proof for this at all, in all the millions of internal documents seized after the war.
2. No One Was "Gassed": There were no gassings of human beings at Auschwitz or anywhere else. There is a good deal of technical and forensic evidence against this claim. It has repeatedly been demolished been various revisionists from various angles, including in chemical analysis first in the famous Leuchter Report and then in the Rudolf Report, as well as in a Polish government forensic examination.
3. The Six-Million Fraud: The "Six-Million" figure is an absurd exaggeration. It is actually technically impossible, because there were never six-million jews under German control during the war.

Quotes

• “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Edward Sagan, in "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark", 1996
