Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What about Holocaust denial and German recordkeeping?

Rick Rosner: Let’s briefly talk about it. I’ll say the Nazis kept very gooI’llcords. So, when people talk about six million Jews being murdered by the Nazis, 200,000 disabled people being murdered, and another five million or so people considered undesirable by the regime, including Romani (what we might call gypsies), Polish people, Polish soldiers, gay people, and Catholic people who resisted, there are records of all these names. These numbers are much stronger than estimates. 

There are plenty of companies implicated in working with Hitler, like Volkswagen and IBM. Any company that was in business in Germany in the 30s probably worked for the Nazis at one point. Some American companies, like IBM, helped with their recordkeeping. Movie companies, even those run by Jewish executives, avoided making Nazis the bad guys in their films because they still wanted to sell their movies in Nazi Germany. 

But anyway, they kept records. Everyone who is a Holocaust denier is a fucking creep, an anti-Semitic racist, the worst of the worst. There might be some total idiots who’ve fallen into the orbit of a creepy Holocawho’venier, but for the most part, they are anti-Semitic creeps—working against an undeniable pile of definitive evidence.
