Here are 60 direct quotes from 40 different Nazi officials about what they were doing to Jewish people, sourced to the original documents and recordings. All of it is from 1938-1944, so none of it is from post-war confessions.
Page 1 opens with Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler, but it also includes people like Oberleutnant Walther, a field officer who wrote in a report that shooting Jews was faster than shooting Gypsies, "100 men in 40 minutes," and noted they were calm when they died.
The Goebbels entry is from his private diary.
Later pages have Himmler ordering troops to "drive Jewish women into the swamps," Romania's head of state saying "I say there is no law, I take full legal responsibility," and a Wehrmacht field marshal whose kill order Hitler praised and sent to every Eastern Front commander as a model.
"[The Jews] ran the gauntlet because, of course, they hesitated at the first shots. Then they were jabbed with bayonets and ran into the pit.
And I was outraged that this SS officer, with a captured Russian rifle, even joined in the shooting from two meters away, so that after half an hour he stood there, his Klepper coat splattered with brains and blood down to his knees."
This is from Klaus Hornig, a German police officer and lawyer who served with Police Battalion 306 in occupied Poland. He refused an order to shoot Jewish prisoners in 1941, and was imprisoned and sent to Buchenwald. More on his life here: gedenkort.at/personen/8b222a…

Those article are referencing the estimated number of jews in Russian territory. Stop being a gullible tool.

Bottom-of-the-barrel revisionists post pre-war newspaper headlines containing "six million Jews" as proof the figure was recycled or fabricated. I ran the same newspapers.com search for every number from one to nine, 1900 to 1939. "Three million" tops the list at 2,552. "Six million" ranks fifth.
And yet...

On Feb 26, 1943, about two weeks before the first gassing in Krema II, Auschwitz urgently requested 10 gas detectors from Topf & Sohne. Topf replied that they were having a hard time locating the hydrogen cyanide residue detectors.
Keep in mind, we're supposed to believe this was for a morgue.
>We acknowledge receipt of your telegram, which reads: “Send immediately 10 gas testers as discussed. Submit the cost estimate later.”
>In this connection, we inform you that already two weeks ago we asked five different firms about the indicator devices for hydrogen-cyanide residues that you requested. Three firms have declined, and replies from two others are still outstanding.
"Then all the prisoners quickly had to check for small children who'd been covered up. They brought them all out and quickly opened the door.
Bang, they threw all the children inside and slammed the doors shut … And believe me, how they screamed inside when they threw the children in. Only then did the people realize what was happening."
Richard Boeck, an SS driver at Auschwitz, describing the gassing of a transport of Dutch Jews at Bunker 1 in Birkenau. Parents had hidden their kids under the piles of clothes in the undressing hall.
The interview is audio only, so I took some time to model the buildings he mentions using both his testimony and other people's accounts of Bunker 1 (a farmhouse the SS converted into a gas chamber.)

Fun fact: You absolutely can both acknowledge that other groups in the U.S. have been treated far worse than Jews and not diminish the Holocaust.

What's even more hilarious: because of the many obvious errors on a technical level Rudolf came to suspect that the real author of the Leuchter report might actually by Robert Faurisson, a professor of literature. And: Faurisson directly told him he wrote the Leuchter report!

Listen to a mass murderer explain the paperwork.
Nuremberg, 3 January 1946. Otto Ohlendorf, commander of Einsatzgruppe D, calmly describes how his unit rounded up Jews in the USSR: registration, the lie of " resettlement, " trucks to antitank ditches, firing squads.
His own voice. His own words. English subtitles.
Jozefa Anasiewicz recounts watching from her house in Belzyce, Poland, as the town's last Jews, many of them women and children, were shot at the synagogue wall:
"A mother had two daughters. The mother in the middle, a daughter on either side. And they shot them … they turned toward the synagogue, by the wall, and were shot from behind."
"They shot them, and into the pit! Into the pit. Shot them and into the pit. Then the next ones."
"They were running away, sir. They were running toward my house. They ran to my shed. There was a woman, a young woman. They shot her there, in my cowshed."
"It was there maybe two or three weeks. The Ukrainians came a second time. Then they began shooting … And they kept taking two or three at a time to the synagogue wall and shooting them."
When the interviewer asked who dug the pit: "The Jews they were shooting! The very same Jews they were shooting … At first it was a small pit. After about two days... it smelled. And they were to dig another pit."
The shooting she's referencing happened in May 1943, when SS-Oberscharfuhrer Reinhold Feiks and his SS Ukrainian auxiliaries shot 500 to 600 Jews in Belzyce, including 150 children.

This is the full, unedited interview (besides my added captions), in case anyone is interested.
Besides the shootings, she has some really interesting stories about her life and upbringing.
She also describes the deportations in Oct 1942 where Jews from the surrounding towns and villages, most of them old people, women and children, were brought into Belzyce and a few days later taken to the train, most likely to the extermination camp Sobibor.
There are also some really sweet stories about rolling out matzah with her Jewish neighbors.
Für mich ist es der Fettsack mit der Fahne, der zu faul ist aus seinem Sessel aufzustehen.

Sobibor est un centre de mise à mort où les Juifs étaient transportés à la seule fin d’être assassinés en masse.
La Shoah, c’est ça. L’extermination systématique d’un peuple massacré hors tout objectif militaire.
Les comparaisons avec le présent sont ignominieuses.
Jan Piwonski, a Polish railway worker at the Sobibor station, talking about the eerie silence following the extermination camp's first transport. No one knew where the Jews had gone, until the smell of their decomposing bodies spread through the area, and more transports kept arriving.
On the morning after the transport, when he had come back to work: "Simply silence. Nothing was happening … Apart from the sentries carrying out their normal guard duty, where we could see into the camp there were no groups visible doing any work. Already then, we began to suspect that the Jews must have been taken somewhere. But where?"
"After two or three days following the first transport, another transport arrived. At the same time, the mystery, let us say, of where the Jews from the first transport had gone began to reveal itself. In the area, the stench of decomposing human bodies began to spread."
"Very hot days had begun; it was the start of summer … around thirty degrees, and from what we observed and inferred, we concluded that the first transport had been murdered."
"When, after a few days, new transports began arriving, we knew that the people brought in those transports would be killed here."

Franz Schalling, a German Order Police guard at the Chelmno extermination camp, secretly filmed by Claude Lanzmann, on the gas vans at the castle:
Lanzmann: "The people were killed in the gas wagon with what?"
Schalling: "With exhaust gases. Then you could hear one of the Poles call out: 'Gas.' And then the driver of the wagon went under it and screwed on the hose that was to take the gas into the room, into the wagon."
Schalling: "I saw him crawl under there and screw something on. ... He went into his cabin once the doors at the back were closed, and then he started the motor."
Lanzmann: "But was it a loud noise or not?"
Schalling: "Only like a truck motor running."
Schalling: "He drove out and to the woods."
Lanzmann: "But the people were already dead?"
Schalling: "I don't know. It was quiet. You couldn't hear anything anymore."

If denial was such a legitimate inquiry they would have a coherent explanation for why the crematoriums, which “supposedly” housed homicidal gas chambers which used hydrogen cyanide, needed gas detectors for cyanide and housed a “gassing basement” and “undressing room”.
💢 „Die Wahrheit lag dort in den Archiven, versteckt seit 55 Jahren... am Ende des Tages kratzte sich der Richter am Kopf und sagte: „Ich bin immer davon ausgegangen, dass es Beweise dafür gab, dass Auschwitz Gsskammern hatte, und war überrascht, als sich herausstellte, dass dies nicht der Fall war, bis dieser Fall auftauchte.“ „Tatsächlich existiert kein einziges Dokument als Beweis für deren Existenz. Es gibt nur ein halbes Dutzend Augenzeugen, aber das reicht mir nicht. Wo sind all die Dokumente vor der sog. Gsakammer? Alle Schießereien an der Ostfront sind sehr gut dokumentiert, aber nichts über die Gsskammern!
💢 Ein Raum von etwa dieser Größe, in den angeblich über einer halbe Mio. Menschen mit Cyan1d vergsat wurden, aber findet man dort keine nennenswerten Spuren, überhaupt keine Cyan1drückstände im Beton - und die müsste es geben, denn Cyan1d verwandelt sich in eine sehr beständige Substanz namens „Preußen Blau“ - was mich zu der Überzeugung brachte, dass die Tests wiederholt und von anderen renommierten Wissenschaftlern durchgeführt werden sollte… und tatsächlich gab wieder dasselbe Ergebnis: kein Cyan1d.
💢 Wenn es noch weitere Gründe gibt, an den angeblichen Gsskammern in Auschwitz zu zweifeln, dann ist es die Tatsache, dass das Gebäude, das den Touristen gezeigt wird, erst 1948 erbaut wurde, das haben die Polen zugegeben. Das Gebäude ist total Fake. Sie haben einen Schornstein dahinter, der nicht einmal mit dem Hauptgebäude verbunden ist. Ein Großteil von Auschwitz gleicht Disneyland. Selbst „ihre“ 100.000 Pfund teuren Experten geben zu, dass das, was sie den Touristen zeigen, größtenteils eine Fälschung ist. Sie haben die Integrität zerstört.
💢 Es besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass zehntausende, sogar Hunderttausende Menschen aus verschiedenen Gründen starben - aber an unterschiedlichen (Todes-) Ursachen. Über den ganzen Auschwitz-Komplex ist eine Art „Glasglocke“ gestülpt worden. Niemand darf in die Nähe kommen, um diese Glasglocke anzuheben, um das zu untersuchen, weil sie das Wort „Holocaust“ über die Glasglocke gestülpt haben. In vielen Ländern der Welt haben sie es zu einem „Straftatbestand“ gemacht, auch nur zuschauen, was in Auschwitz geschah. Schau, was mit mir passiert ist, als ich anfing, Auschwitz in Frage zu stellen - das sollte die Menschen misstrauisch machen.“ David Irving 👇🏻
A 1940 letter from a Protestant pastor in Wurttemberg to his bishop, on what the Nazi T4 program (the one that gassed over 70,000 of their own people) was doing to the families in his parish. He quotes a woman who had been an excited supporter of the Nazis to that point:
"Today I heard something so terrible… It is happening in Germany. I am so torn. Is that the terrible side of this great age? Or what is it? I should like to sleep, so that all these thoughts would no longer torment me. And even in sleep—in dreams—they pursue me… What is true? The great, noble things that I see—or the other things?? Then it would be cause for despair."
He also describes this case where someone's father was killed, and it was then lied about and attributed to tonsillitis:
"In A., a man returned from the field and intended to use his leave, among other things, to visit his father in W. on his birthday together with other relatives, since they are attached to him. When they arrived there, they heard that he had been transferred. After some time they received the death notification that he had died of suppurative tonsillitis. Since someone told them that this was the fifth case of suppurative tonsillitis within a short time, they became suspicious."

More from the same letter:
"In H. lives the sister of a man who has been accommodated in W. for a long time. She heard from somewhere of the impending danger, went there, and wanted to take him with her. The doctor considered that impossible. To the question whether her brother would also be transferred, he said: 'No, he works so diligently.' After approximately 14 days, however, the sister received the communication that he had been transferred. The nephew, who has connections in Stuttgart, received the answer that this was simply a sacrifice which the family must make for the fatherland."
"So far, in no case—even beyond my district—have I heard anything of gratitude for this measure, but rather of grief, outrage, head-shaking, and bewilderment at interventions of this kind."
"A serious crisis of confidence towards the doctor and towards the authorities is arising, since the question forces itself upon one: where is the limit? It is particularly serious when war participants are included in the measures, since it is an obvious step to say that the same measure may one day also affect deserving combatants of the present war who suffer some damage to their nerves."
"There is a threat of a profound brutalisation of feeling extending far beyond the original circle."
"A woman said, in substance, that over time the measure would all too easily turn against those responsible for it, since they were giving an example of how inconvenient rivals could be eliminated. Compare the French Revolution."
