"I don't know, I'd have to look at it," he says in regards to the German documentation showing this (sent by me to him in 2021).

Debate highlight, in which Mike tries to explain away various criminal traces in the homicidal gas chamber Leichenkeller I, by suggesting that the Nazis intended to convert LK1 into a gas chamber for corpses. Note that Mike misrepresents Pressac, who never says this.

In this 2016 clip, the man who was once the world's foremost Holocaust denier repudiates most of his former views—by acknowledging that Jews of Europe were systematically murdered by Nazi Germany. He even accepts the mainstream estimate of Jewish death (5 to 6 million). Notably, Irving also appears to back away from his previous denial that Auschwitz was an extermination camp, insofar as he acknowledges the liquidation of the Hungarian Jews in 1944 (which happened at Auschwitz).

In this exchange, I am highly critical of Tracey's revisionist argument that US entry into the Second World War led to a radicalization of the Holocaust. I basically argue that Tracey's argument is misleading by omission, insofar as he omits to mention that 1) most European Jews - Polish and Soviet Jews, as well as Jews in Bessarabia and northern Bukovina - were already marked for murder before US entry into World War II; and 2) that the Nazis were engaged in multiple additional genocides before US entry into the war, including the genocides of gentile Poles and gentile Russians; these genocides that were curtailed by Allied advances in World War II, before (as with the Holocaust) being ultimately stopped by Allied victory. Though I am harshly critical of his views on the historical substance, I also defend Tracey against scurrilous charges of Holocaust denial leveled by the woke left. I appreciate Tracey's willingness to engage with critics, a rarity among contemporary journalists. And I oppose the current practice of making WWII revisionism a taboo. Such revisionism is easily discredited and should be dealt with intellectually.

Eric Striker and other Holocaust "revisionists" claim that the only Holocaust perpetrators who confessed did so while being tortured or criminally prosecuted. In truth, numerous prominent Holocaust perpetrators confessed to their deeds voluntarily, in non-coercive contexts. Please note that I do not delete comments. On Holocaust denial videos, YT appears to randomly delete comments (they even briefly banned my video on "hate speech" grounds, even though it opposes denial).
