Holocaust happened

My position is simple and straightforward. Hitler wanted to expel, not murder, all Jews in Germany. Hitler signed an agreement with the Jews to facilitate their emigration out of Germany.(1) The Nuremburg Trials accepted that, "a written order for the extermination of the Jews does not exist."(2) The Nazi's Final Solution wasn't a plan to exterminate Jews. In the words of infamous Holocaust-denying historian, Robert Faurisson, the Final Solution was a plan for emigration, preferably, or forced evacuation, if necessary.Substantiating my claim is a 1942 memo circulated amongst the Nazis by then German Secretary of State, Martin, which reads(9): "The present war gives Germany the opportunity and also the duty of solving the Jewish problem in Europe. ... a solution: The removal of Jews from Europe ... ... the Führer intends to evacuate all Jews from Europe ... ... the evacuation of the Jews ... is still in force ... Major General Heydrich informed the Reich Foreign Minister that the whole problem of the approximately three and a quarter million Jews in the areas under German control can no longer be solved by emigration; a territorial final solution would be necessary. In recognition of this, Reich Marshal Goering, on 31 July 1941, commissioned SS Maior General Heydrich to make, in conjunction with the interested German Control agencies, all necessary preparations for a total solution of the Jewish problem ... the Führer, instead of the emigration, had now authorized the evacuation of the Jews to the East as the solution ... On the basis of the Führer's instruction ... the evacuation of the Jews from Germany was begun. ... at the end of this war, all Jews would have to leave Europe. This was an unalterable decision of the Führer and also the only way to master this problem ... I challenge my opponent to find any official, Nazi document describing a plan to massacre Jews. You would think that after several years of systematic, government-sponsored genocide, at least one official order would have survived the German defeat.It's also telling that neither Hitler's Mein Kamf, nor the WWII memoirs of Eisenhower or Churchill, make the least reference to genocide of Jews or homocidal gas chambers. Why?Because they are fictions. The Holocaust is a legend originating in, and sustained by, rumors, lies and government suppression of free speech. The Germans employed concentration camps to contain Jews, much as America employed them to segregate the Japanese. The German camps were where emigrating Jews were subjected to a delousing (lice-removal) process. As Encyclopedia Britannica states, "The most important form of typhus has been epidemic typhus (borne by lice) ... during World War II it ... caused epidemics ... particularly in German concentration camps."(4) The German delousing process was one for which, ironically, the United States itself had set precendent. According to National Public Radio, "[I]n the 1920s, U.S. officials at the Santa Fe Bridge deloused and sprayed the clothes of Mexicans crossing into the U.S. with Zyklon B. The fumigation was carried out in an area of the building that American officials called, ominously enough, "the gas chambers."(5) This is how The Holocaust myth got started. Jews were dieing by the thousands in concentration camps due to the typhus epidemic, which is capable of a mortality rate as high as 60% (8). The Allies were also bombing German infrastructure at the time, reducing the efficiency of, or totally eliminating, the transportation of food, water and medicine to the various concentration camps. The Germans tried to solve the lice problem by subjecting the Jews to the same type of delousing process which the Americans had put Mexicans through twenty years before. They even used the same delousing agent, Zyklon B (a brand name for cyanide gas)!Ten years earlier, representatives of the international Jewish community had officially declared war on Germany.(6) This was before the Nazis had even limited the rights of German Jews, but combine those two facts and it's easy to understand the animosity the Jews bore towards the Germans. This animosity encouraged the rumor that Nazis were using Zyklon B to gas Jews to death (as opposed to merely gassing lice to death), and since the Jews were dieing by the thousands due to typhus (which is not only fatal itself, but destroys the appetite and promotes malnutrition), the sight of numerous emaciated Jews made it easy to believe this. From here, the legend took on a life of its own. Concentration camps began to be referred to as extermination camps, and false accusations were levered against the Nazis at the Nuremburg Trials. Some of the more rediculous accusations made there, which have since been acknowledged as frauds the worldover, include: Making soap out of Jewish fat Making lampshades out of Jewish skin Making shrunken heads out of Jewish heads Tossing Jewish babies alive into ovens Hopefully the myth of homocidal gas chambers will one day find their place on this list. Further sustaining the Holocaust legend is the downright criminalization of attempts to re-examine it critically. Holocaust denial, and in many instances, mere skepticism of the 6,000,000 number, is illegal in the following countries(7): Austria Belgium Czech Republic France Germany Liechtenstein Lithuania Netherlands Poland Romania Slovakia Spain Switzerland Israel Unlike my opponent, I've no need to indulge in appeals to emotion because the facts are on my side. For anyone who questions the possibility of a falsehood of such magnitude being foisted upon the world, remember these prophetic words of Hitler in Mein Kamf (My Struggle): "[I]n the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes. From time immemorial, however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited."(3) Indeed; exploitation of the Holocaust Hoax is a political debate tactic used daily, worldwide, capable of stifling any and all opposition. Label your opponent an anti-Semite or compare him to Hitler (see Godwin's Law), and you as well have been taken back to the Medieval Ages and excommunicated by the Pope himself.Before I close this round, I would like to point out that I have no more animosity towards the typical Jew than I do towards the typical white guy. Because of the lie of the Holocaust, I feel I must ward off the suspicion of racism that so often accompanies those who dare challenge the accepted version of WWII history.(1) https://en.wikipedia.org...(2) https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...(3) http://www.greatwar.nl...
