@divVerent @PonyPanda @LukeAlmighty @alyx @dave @Bill_Boone @Alex > In May 2002, Fritjof Meyer, former chief editor of the Hamburg news magazine "Der Spiegel," published a rather startling article with the title "Die Zahl der Opfer von Auschwitz. Neue Erkenntnisse durch neue Archivfunde" (The Number of Auschwitz Victims: New Revelations Through New Archival Discoveries).[11] Meyer defends the thesis of homicidal gassings but deviates from his predecessors in two important points:

> In the first place, he moves the center of the alleged mass murders from the crematories to the so-called 'Bunkers' of Birkenau. In the second place, he lowers the number of Auschwitz victims to 510,000. This contrasts greatly with 1,100,000 (the number presently postulated by official historiography)[12] and 711,000 to 631,000 (the numbers postulated by Pressac.)[13].

> Meyer maintains that "The actual genocide probably took place in the two converted farmhouses outside the camp" (page 632). Since in his view 510,000 persons were killed in the camp, of whom 356,000 were gassed, it is clear that he thinks the alleged mass murders took place almost entirely in the Birkenau "Bunkers."

I think Auschwitz started off at 4 million and the "affirm at all costs" crowd, I mean historians *cough* seem to be barely holding on to 356,000. The official narrative will have to undergo re-construction from time to time to keep the game going, one sympathizes. We'll just have to ignore the untold repetitions of the 40 year lie of 4 million, 6million, 10 bajillion, lamp shades etc =)

Keep rolling those dice.
