AnswerMan works to correct the historical record of the Holocaust in the light of a more complete collection of historical facts and a more objective attitude.
Neither Revisionist nor Fundamentalist, AnswerMan seeks to enlighten all with regard to this one infamous event in twentieth century history.
Truth, it has been said is the first casualty of war, and it was most certainly the first casualty of the Holocaust. The political atmosphere today is not calm at all. Objective attitudes are difficult to come by. In spite of this, AnswerMan speaks openly and honestly. Somebody has to, you know, because if you don't use freedom, you lose freedom.
AnswerMan knows almost all and will tell all he knows in response to selected questions about the Holocaust and its related history. Since his time is not as infinite as his store of information, not all questions can be answered. Following the guidelines listed below will give your request a better chance of being chosen.
Recently it has been brought to our attention that some others have been attempting to claim credit for some of AnswerMan!'s remarkably trenchant historical judgments. Let's clear this up right now: the opinions expressed by AnswerMan! are his alone. They do not necessarily express the views of anyone else. On the other hand, if the reader is struck by a formulation striking in its cogency, lofty in its expression, and humane in its impulse, you may rest assured that it is an accurate representation of the revisionist spirit overall.

Dear AnswerMan, Since you deny that the Holocaust happened, why don't you accept the label Holocaust deniers? Sarah Delillo AnswerMan Replies: Answerman has already responded to the first part of your question, under the post, “Did the Holocaust Exist?” The second part of your question turns on the revisionist rejection of the term, Holocaust Denier….

Dear AnswerMan, Hi! I have seen your Q&A site. I have a question for you: Granted that many things of a regrettable nature happened during WW2; granted also that the 6 million figure is grossly inflated; granted also that the existence of homicidal gas chambers is NOT supported by physical or documentary evidence. Granted also…

Dear AnswerMan, I read of an article published in an American-Jewish magazine in 1905 exposing a Jewish genocide of “6 million” persons during Eastern Europe pogroms. Why wasn't there no such moral rebellion as against the later nazi genocide? Was the world so insensitive about the Jews? [Name Witheld] AnswerMan Replies: The idea of “six…

Dear AnswerMan, [List of purported anti-Semites deleted] So why is this? If “revisionism” isn't anti-Semitism, then why are there so many anti-Semites in the business? Thanks! Andrew Mathis AnswerMan Replies: AnswerMan! is in the business of answering historical queries, not engaging in polemics. However, you have asked a common question so AnswerMan! will straighten you…

Dear AnswerMan, Would you be kind enough to tell me to what extent you think Jews were killed outright in camps during WW2? If you also could share a simple opinion on the same activity on the war front I'd be grateful for that too Name withheld AnswerMan Replies: To gauge the extent to which…

Dear AnswerMan, What evidence is there to support the theory that Zyklon-B could not be used to exterminate millions of Jews in gas chambers? Nicole AnswerMan Replies: The substance is capable of killing people, of that there is no doubt. The problems with it are at least threefold. First, it would be a remarkably poor…

Dear AnswerMan, Is it true that the Diary of Anne Frank was written after WWII? Marlene AnswerMan Replies: That's a difficult call. What is known is that some portion of the diary was written in ballpoint pen, an item not invented until after the war. How much this impeaches the document we cannot say, but…

Dear AnswerMan, Were concentration camps during WWII really used in the way history portrays, did they really exist? John AnswerMan Replies: The concentration camps certainly did exist, by the hundreds! Prior to the war they were ordinary prisons that housed, in addition to ordinary criminals, a growing population of political prisoners and those identified as…

Dear AnswerMan, I believe I read a few weeks ago at one of the Revisionist sites that the Auschwitz gas chamber was 'reconstructed by the Poles in the 1960s and that an authority on the Holocaust had testified to this fact. I, perhaps, foolishly used this argument in a debate and have been challenged to…

Dear AnswerMan, Did the holocaust exist? Angela AnswerMan Replies: Of all the questions AnswerMan! gets, this is no doubt the most common, usually phrased as “Did the Holocaust happen?” or, in a more accusatory tone, “Are you trying to say that the Holocaust didn't happen?” Relax. The simplest answer to this question is that, of…
