No one can confirm anything major about history was a factual event. That's the nature of human knowledge. We can make some solid assumptions though. But videos and pics can be faked or misleading. Stats can be lied about. Stories too. For all we know, only ten thousand Jews actually died in German custody. Or ten million. There is no confirming any of it. Just estimates and assumptions to fit a narrative.

No. We have a very good idea what happened. This isn’t a conspiracy.

All any of us have is faith that the stories we are told are true. But that's all it is. Faith. I know it gives you anxiety to hear someone tell you that your beliefs may not be true, but I have some questions for you. Do you believe that literally every belief you hold about history is completely accurate? Do you think that somewhere along the way, people lied and altered history? Do you realize that every country on Earth teaches different versions of history to their children? Some are drastically different too.

There are thousands of infantry soldiers who saw the camps during liberation and clean up. That’s evidence not faith.

Did I say that camps didn't exist? And did you personally talk to all of those soldiers? Or did someone tell you that it's what they saw? And if they did see them, does that prove an intentional genocide (as opposed to uncontrollable starvation or disease where bodies needed to be removed) or a figure of six million? What if I told you that seven million Jews were intentionally murdered? Would you argue? Would you accept the labor of "Holocaust denier" if you argued the figure of seven million? What about ten million? Twenty? Fifty?
