The direct extermination of 6 million Jews was a myth.

I will address both of the points made in A) and B) by my opponent: These are both bare assertion fallacies, as pointed out by the DOD official guide to debating on page 19. [1] In other words, you failed to provide proper evidence of these claims, or perhaps you are plagiarizing someone else's work, either way, it's bad. Since you didn't provide any evidence of these claims, I am going do dismiss these claims until you do. As for your bit on Hoess's testimony, these are also bare assertion claims. You did mention wikipedia, which I did look up and I confirmed myself that they claim 1.1 million Jews were killed there [2] However, you provided no source or evidence that the Soviet Union claimed 4 million Jews were killed there and then 1.5 million. What these two differences in numbers from wikipedia and Hoess suggest, is perhaps it is not completely possible to know how many Jews were sent there, but both confirm Jews were sent there and killed. There is no reliable source claiming no Jews were killed at Auschwitz. So, it seems my opponent is conceding that between 1.1 million and 4 million Jews were killed at Auschwitz, since they did not prove no Jews were killed there. Next my opponent tries to minimize the amount of Jews killed by claiming not all of Poland was occupied by Germany at this time, and that many of the Jews lived in Russia. It seems odd they are ignoring the fact Nazi Germany invaded Soviet Russia and at its greatest extent, had all of Poland under their control in addition to a chunk of Western Russia and Ukraine [3] This should be common knowledge as it would have been learned in history classes. So the number of Jews living in occupied territory is much more than 4.5 million. My opponent then begins to tally up the number of Jewish deaths in each area, however, once more this is a bare assertion fallacy as they do not provide any sources or evidence for these numbers. I shall offer my own count of the Jews killed in each territory with sources. 1)About 2.6 million Jews were killed in Poland [4] 2) It is estimated that over 1 million Jews were killed by Einstatsgruppen in Ukraine [5] 3) 91-95% of the Jews were killed in Lithuania, which it had a Jewish Population of 263,000 in 1939, 2 years before German Occupation, thus roughly 240,000 Jews were killed there.[6] 4) An estimated 75,000 Jews were killed in Latvia by Nazi hands [7] 5) 1,950 were killed in Estonia [8] 6) 306,000 Jews were killed in Germany itself [9] 7) 76,000 Jews were killed in France [10] 8) Over 2 million Jews were killed in Russia [11] 9) 117,000 Jews were killed in Czechoslavia [12] 10) 150,000 Jews were killed in Austria [13] I'm going to stop here since it's no longer necessary for me to provide more, I could also go into the Jews in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Belgium, but the numbers above already equal more than 6 million. So let's add that up 2.6 million plus 1 million, plus 240,000, plus 75,000, plus 1950, plus 306,000, plus 2 million, plus 117,000, plus 150,000 is 6,489,950 I'd like to also point out that my opponent conceded that 1 million Jews were killed at Auschwitz, but then below here claims only a total of 1 million Jews were killed. Unless Auschwitz was the only place the Nazis killed Jews, there is clearly something wrong with these numbers. It's a fact that Jews were killed by einsatzgruppe(as I pointed out before), and in other Jewish concentration camps, there were also concentration camps at Belzec, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Chelmno.
