Nessie has a point. If the hoaxers wanted to prove criminal usage, they would plant evidence in the form of Prussian Blue in the cellars.
I'll say that would have been significantly easier for them to do if there was a roof.
I'll also point out that the importance of Prussian Blue wasn't exactly understood when Auschwitz was captured.
This is an own-goal rather than a slam dunk. While it would indeed be the best singular thing a hoaxer could do, this just underscores how pivotal that Prussian Blue is to the presence or absence of HcN. This is by far the biggest indicator of criminal intent. Its absence doesn't prove absence of hoax... it proves absence of HcN.
Rudolf's Report, on its own, with no supporting evidence, is insufficient to prove the no gassing claim. Your appeal to his authority, over all else, is a logical fallacy.
Nessie has another point. He's not interested in the dead bodies. He doesn't want to talk about their prevalence or absence. He is interested in the location of the living bodies.
Pointing to the census and pointing out people with family members who weren't gassed in gas chambers at Auschwitz and were later reunited isn't sufficient.
Nessie wants to know where the resettled jews went. Sanity Check says resettlement is a euphemism for burn pit.
The challenge from the orthodoxy seems to be, find the jews. Personally I feel that is our challenge as revisionists. Find the missing jews.
Not really. Holocaust Revisionists can't be expected to double up as undocumented refugee detectives.
The Nazis kept documented control over the identified and imprisoned Jews. That is why the ending of the documentary trail at certain camps, is important circumstantial evidence. Something happened, in specific places, that caused the Nazis to stop keeping records of millions of Jews. If millions of Jews were in Nazi captivity in 1943-4 that would have left a huge volume of documents, yet revisionists cannot even name the department responsible for their organisation and maintenance.
At the end of the war, Displaced Persons Agencies generated huge volumes of documents, for millions of people, but only a few hundred thousand Jews. Each country documented returning Jews.
Just to show how difficult it can be to track the mass movements of people through a war zone, just look at the number of undocumented immigrants are in the present day in USA:
This means, there are millions of uncounted and uncountable people who have evaded identification, and this is all in the modern day with modern technology, across a relatively political stable US / Mexico border.
Similarly with Europe, the number is in the millions.
If modern day governments cannot account for this degree of mass movements of people with all their available funding and technology, its beyond ridiculous to expect the Revisionist movement to be responsible for commenting on the presence and status of Jews (who are a notoriusly diaspora people with a disdain for integrating)
from behind the iron curtain.
The best answer to "where did they go?" has and always will be:
"Jews went to where Jews are"
You are not looking for undocumented refugees, you are looking for Nazi documented prisoners in 1944 and liberated displaced persons in 1945, who unlike refugees, many of whom sought to return home, or were documented to have applied to migrate to the USA, the UK, or after 1949, Israel.
Chronologically, the start of the revisionist search is towards the end of 1941, and where the Jews from Kiev and those sent to Chelmno went. But that is too like hard work and revisionists know they will not find any evidence, so they come up with excuses.
