The argument of Frank Scott's prisoner of conscience, Ernest Zundel, from a site maintained by his wife (and check out his logo, in which the Z is made to look like as swastika) <http://www.zundelsite.org/english/101/101toc.html>:

"Holocaust Myth 101"

This English document comes in eight parts. It is the original document on which the following translations are based. It summarizes the following eight Revisionist claims, broadly sketched:

PART I - The Holocaust is useful postwar propaganda that started as a systematic, insidious campaign during World War II as one of the tactics employed by moneyed interests to rally the troops and engage the world, specifically America, in what turned out to be, essentially, a fratricidal war. PART II - There is no proof that the Holocaust, as depicted by the Holocaust Promotion Lobby and the highly politicized Hollywood industry, actually occurred. PART III - The numbers of "Holocaust" victims are irresponsibly exaggerated. PART IV - Official state policy towards the Jews in the Third Reich was emigration, not extermination. PART V - Not a single document has been found with Hitler's signature ordering the extermination of the Jews. PART VI - Zyklon B was a fumigant. It wasn't a practical agent for mass murder. PART VII - Zyklon B was highly toxic. This being so, it would have been foolish and counterproductive to endanger Third Reich personnel engaged in allegedly pulling bodies from the execution chambers shortly after they were "gassed." PART VIII - American execution expert, Fred Leuchter, delivered a scientific break-through in proving that the so-called gas chambers at Auschwitz could not have been used for their alleged purpose."

The translations below were done by volunteers across the globe from the English document. Where there are discrepancies, the original document governs.
