I have come to doubt the Holocaust after reading the works of revisionist historians...
They are not really historians, or even revisionists, they are deniers. That is because of their failure to produce an evidenced, chronological history of what did happen. Instead, they deny mass murders, so suggesting mass survival, but they cannot evidence the whereabouts of the millions of Jews they say were not murdered, in 1944-5.
and as I have noticed more and more oddities in these stories.
That is how denial works. It finds what can be described as odd and then alleges that means, therefore, it did not happen. That method is best described as the logical fallacy of argument from incredulity.
The very concept of the "Holocaust" or "Shoah" seemed to have changed: from steam chambers, electric conveyor belts where people were electrocuted, and trains with quicklime - to gas chambers and gas vans.
That change happened, because the earliest reports were hearsay and rumour, about activity inside the death camps. They were inaccurate, which is the nature of hearsay and rumour. As eyewitnesses came forward and other evidenced gathered, the actual means of death was established.
Similar "miracles" occurred with the supposed extermination site: in the 1950s it was the territory of the Reich, including Dachau. Since 1960, the site of the Holocaust has been "teleported" to Poland (General Government).
No, the major death camps were in Poland, or the General Government, because Poland had the largest population of Jews. Ukraine and Serbia also had death camps. There were also gas chambers in camps and hospitals in Germany and Austria, used to euthanise inform prisoners and the disabled.
In the 1990s, the tales of human soap were eliminated from the narrative,...
Because research found them to be an exaggeration, atrocity story. It is correct to eliminate such.
... and the number of victims of Auschwitz was reduced from 4 million to 1.5 million. Remarkably, the total number has remained 6 million, and it is illegal to doubt it. According to the logic of the exterminationists and the Holocaust lobby, 6 - 2.5 = 6. Very Orwellian math, if you think about it.
The Auschwitz total was an exaggerated Soviet one, that the Poles used until the collapse of the Soviet Union. Then they switched to using the more accurate western death toll.
No problem with Jews. I'm not anti-Semitic or far-right, if that's what you're implying. But all the weird stuff we're told about the Shoah is bound to raise doubts, unless you close your eyes and blindly believe the narrative.
I assume that you have a genuine interest in revisionism and the revisionist position. I found this forum under the impression of reading the books of Jurgen Graf, partly also under the influence of Faurisson, Tison and Arthur Butz.
The "weird stuff" is revisionism concentrating on atrocity stories and rumours, rather than finding the accurate narrative and doing the basic task of any historian. That you believe the Auschwitz death toll revisionist maths, without doing any research to find out how the figures were achieved, tells me that you are blindly believing the revisionist narrative. You should apply your doubts to revisionism. It cannot be trusted, since many are anti-Semitic, far-right, conspiracy theorists pushing an agenda. They also commonly lack relevant training and expertise on the topics they discuss.
