Thanks for discussing the material before changing. Normally we encourage new editors to "just go ahead and edit," but this was probably not a good place to start editing. A bit sensitive. And now, thanks to you, a bit more accurate. Please (generally) feel free to edit on your own. Your judgement in discussing this is sound. I'm sure your edits will be as well.

I thought I would respond to your question about where you might find Did Six Million Really Die? and other similar revisionist rants. The AAARGH website has it. You won't find it anywhere that does not advocate revisionism (though many, maybe most, revisionists cannot be considered "neo-Nazis"). In 1992 the Supreme Court of Canada found that the book "misrepresented the work of historians, misquoted witnesses, fabricated evidence, and cited non-existent authorities." See R. v. Zundel. This gives at least one answer to your question regarding how one might arrive at a figure such as 1.5 million: one might arrive at such a figure by misrepresentation, misquotation, fabrication, outright lies, and so on. If you think the 1.5 million estimate is bananas, the author of Did Six Million Really Die? concludes that actually less than 300,000 Jews "died" (i.e., they were not intentionally exterminated but died of disease, allied bombing, etc.) under the Nazi Regime. It is really quite pointless to read garbage like Did Six Million Really Die? except to become more familiar with the arguments against revisionism. In other words, although the arguments of a book such as this are terribly false, it is important to understand why they are false, why the figure of six million (or slightly less, say 5.8 to 5.9 million) is correct.

Hi. When you recently edited Leo Frank, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ADL (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

He was speaking about the Vietnam War. Perhaps the revisionists were being tongue in cheek, and/or trying to make a point by way of analogy ? — 86.123.9.162 (talk) 08:48, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
