Several weeks ago we established that 1,100,000 Jews were transported to Auschwitz during the war years.
We also know that over 780,000 Jews were deported to Treblinka (713,555 referenced in the Höfle Report through 31 December 1942, another 8,000 deportees from Theresienstadt in October 1942, not included in Höfle’s figure; in 1943 about 51,000 from Bialystok and places in the GG, 14,159 deportees from Saloniki, Macedonia and Thessaloniki - coming to over 780,000).
For Chelmno, Patrick Montague documents, as previous studies have tallied, a minimum of 152,000 Jews transported to the camp and a more likely figure a bit higher, the transports and their numbers itemized in his new book on the death camp.
Taking just these 3 installations, then, we have over 2 million people with records supporting their transfer to the installations. The logistics involved in these operations if they were for transit would have been even greater than for mass murder - because then the transportees would have to have been moved a number of times, fed and cared for at the transit facilities, and assigned and taken to new homes, where their arrivals would have had to have been coordinated with local authorities, laboring roles would need to have been identified, shelter given, etc. Not only would many agencies need to be involved and working together, with many specific individuals playing documented parts, but also bystanders and ordinary citizens of the various places through which and to which the Jews were taken would have witnessed stages of this process.
And that is why no denier will ever seriously tackle, as we have seen time and again in this thread, the very simple and important questions asked by Mynott.
Watching deniers run from their own transit thesis is rather amusing.
