Will all you ridiculous people who, perhaps in an attempt to work dialectically (rather like Marxist historians) to give us an Orwellian 'objective history' by spouting all this holohoax theory rubbish in order to make the fish take the bait (so to speak), please stop doing so.
Revisionist historians are very aware of what they are doing, I wonder whether you are as astute as them. I am well aware that the holocaust has been over-used (especially by Jewish nationalists) and over deflated (especially by Islamic extremists and neo-fascist sympathisers) on occasion, but there can be no denial of fact - a huge number of people were massacred because of their racial background.
If, for the sake of 'objective history', you want to argue over details of whether or not there were gas chambers or not in Auschwitz, very well, go ahead, but it is much like discussing whether a man was shot or stabbed to death. In the end, what matters is that he was killed, not how he died. After WW2, there were around 7 million less Jews in the world. If you wish to go into detail about how they were killed, do so - but it's somewhat sickening (I use Orwellian understatement).
In fact, I prefer to believe that your motives are to see that your message has provoked a response, regardless of its content. You seem to be using an inflamatory topic just to get replies under your posting.
History is not individual, it is collective, I really hope that the history you propose here is not YOUR history (ie, something you really believe).
