There is much more to be said on this subject, but this is all I’m posting for now.

    Didn’t they cremate at other concentration camps other than Auschwitz? Weren’t there others? Otherwise, the numbers would make no sense.

      Yes, there were other camps.

    They weren’t cremating one at a time. Following are selected snips from the Jewish Virtual Library:
    https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/crematoria-and-gas-chambers-at-auschwitz-birkenau

    Crematorium I operated [at Auschwitz] from August 15, 1940 until July 1943. According to calculations by the German authorities, 340 corpses could be burned every 24 hours after the installation of the three furnaces.

    The Crematorium II building, which contained a gas chamber and furnaces for burning corpses. According to calculations by the German authorities, 1,440 corpses could be burned in this crematorium every 24 hours. According to the testimony of former prisoners, the figure was higher. The gas chamber and Crematorium II functioned from March 1943 through November 1944.

    The Crematorium III building, which contained a gas chamber and furnaces for burning corpses. According to calculations by the German authorities, 1,440 corpses could be burned in this crematorium every 24 hours. According to the testimony of former prisoners, the figure was higher. The gas chamber and Crematorium III functioned from June 1943 through November 1944.

    The Crematorium IV building, which contained a gas chamber and furnaces for burning corpses. According to calculations by the German authorities, 768 corpses could be burned in this crematorium every 24 hours. According to the testimony of former prisoners, the figure was higher. The apparatus of mass murder in this building functioned, with interruptions, from March 1943 until October 7, 1944. 

    The Crematorium V building contained a gas chamber and furnaces for burning corpses. According to calculations by the German authorities, 768 corpses could be burned in this crematorium every 24 hours. According to the testimony of former prisoners, the figure was higher. At times, the bodies of the people who had been murdered were also burned on pyres in pits located near Crematorium V and the so-called bunkers. The apparatus of mass murder in this building functioned, with interruptions, from April 1943 until January 1945. In connection with the operation intended to remove the evidence of their crimes, the SS blew up the building on January 26, 1945.

    I have not done all the math on this but the smallest, Crematorium I, could have cremated over 370,000 in the three years of operation. Also, this was only one of many camps.

    At the beginning of the ‘Final Solution’, the Nazis had death squads using guns to execute dozens to hundreds at a time. Those victims were buried in pits they had been forced to dig. That method wasn’t fast enough so they moved to gas chambers. The death squads operated in many occupied areas, if I remember my history correctly.

    (In a slightly snarky aside:) It took a one sentence search to find the above information. The person(s) who wrote the original details that Sallie posted could have entered the same sentence and refuted his/her/their own statements before writing them. Seems a little dishonest to ‘speculate’ without rudimentary validation.

      There is no need to be snarky. I want people to search for the truth and know why they believe what they believe.

        Sallie, I apologize. You are absolutely correct. The final part of my comment was uncalled for at best, childish at worst. I have strong opinions about this topic but I have no right to impose them on anyone, any more than the original author. As you said, each person must search and know their own beliefs.

        Thank you for starting this conversation. It will be a lively one, I’m sure.

          My goal is to get people to ask themselves if they know the truth about a variety of topics. If people research this topic and decide the official narrative is true, then they can say they researched it and came to their own conclusions. If people research this topic and decide they have been lied to, then the same applies. If people ignore this post and don’t research it, that’s their choice as well.

          The problem is we have accepted far too many narratives without questioning them and have even been told we aren’t allowed to question them. This particular story has shaped the life experience of everyone reading this in ways we don’t even fully grasp on a daily basis. This one thing we aren’t allowed to question impacts us every day. If someone reading this doesn’t understand why I would say that, then that also illustrates my point.

          If someone reading this is an evangelical Christian, it’s especially true for you.

    Everyone should do his or her own due diligence regarding every important story that has shaped our understanding of the world. The more you start sorting out now, the further ahead of the game you are going to be.

    I’m purposefully not stating what conclusions I’ve drawn about a lot of these recent topics. Many of these topics I’m not even writing about until I start to see them bubbling to the surface in the current culture.

    But I’m raising the questions so people will be aware and think about them whether it is about the Nephilim or the Challenger disaster or 9-11 or World War 2. These topics are all going to be significant sooner or later. Save yourself some stress and start thinking through them now.

    It’s worth noting that if European countries have said that questioning these things is “criminal”, then it’s worth saying this:

    If one’s views are true and right, there’s no need to silence the opposition.

    If one’s facts are true and right, any attempt to discredit them will fail and it would be obvious. So let the opposition fail and make fools of themselves. It would be evident.

    If the opposition has facts that refute what was considered to be “true and right”, then maybe the original group might not be telling you the truth, and wants to silence any opposition because they have an agenda.

      As I said in the post linked below, there were a number of things that made me decide to do a deep dive into these topics. The Patton angle was a big one. The handling of the Holodomor versus the Holocaust is another. The third is the fact that this is the ONLY story in all of history we aren’t allowed to question. Really? Why this one? That should raise red flags all over the place.

      Plus once you determine you’ve been lied to about some incredibly important, culture-shaping stories from your own lifetime and even watched some develop in real time, you know the stories before you were born are probably also riddled with falsehoods and outright lies as well.

    The assumption that a Nazi crematorium had the same scale and throughput as a modern crematorium has bothered me since I first saw it.

    At the same time, cremating millions of bodies would have taken huge amounts of fuel, which at the time was more urgently needed for other purposes.

      There are a lot of things that don’t add up when you start really looking at the details.

    I remembered watching part of a video on Bitchute a while back and was able to find it. (Thankfully I had bookmarked it.) I didn’t finish it at that time, but I did watch the entire thing just now. This pastor explains why he questioned the official narrative and which facts he believes don’t add up.

      From the comments under that video:

      AmericaFirst76
      Theres so many thought provoking questions you can ask yourself about the official WW2 narrative. 1 is “why does 99% of WW2 History we learn in the States focus on the supposed 9% of the 60-70 Million that died as a result of WW2?”.

      Indeed. Watch that Hitler series I shared and you’ll really start to ask yourself that question.
