Majdanek, or Auschwitz?

A simple question really, if I am talking to someone unfamiliar with the events commonly referred to as the holocaust, is Majdanek a better case study, or is Auschwitz? Please do vote in the pole, feel free to discuss.

I would definitely say that Auschwitz would be the more effective case study to review since it's the most well-known camp. People think Auschwitz was a death factory, but they probably won't even recognize the name Majdanek. Being able to instill a sense of doubt about a camp that's name is synonymous with genocide will lead people to research other topics more objectively, where I think it's more than plausible that they develop a revisionist interpretation about what happened. I do think, though, that it's easier to demonstrate that Majdanek was not used with murderous intent.

That's fair. I lean more towards Majdanek as a case study because the course it has run is much closer to complete. It also has highlighted for posterity much of the absurd theatrics, like the ash mound UFO.

It also leans in to the historiography with regard to Konrad Morgen, Otto Koch and the incongruency in the investigation that took place with the commonly held image of 'the holocaust' as it has come to be known.

A very strong case for historical revision is written there. Gone are the 2,000,000 claimed murdered there. Gone are the 7 gas chambers. The holes in the roof are admitted shams. This list could get very long.

The revisions at Auschwitz are still in process, although academia would much rather keep it as is. What is claimed is untenable, but, it has yet to run course.

Just my perspective.
