Holocaust standards
Here's an account of the standards of proof that some two million (2,000,000) persons were murdered. Not too far into the reading we find that the focus is on Jewish victims.

Defendants
After a lengthy preamble of moral rhetoric we get to what exactly the evidence is:
“The International Military Tribunal in its decision of October 1, 1946 declared that the Einsatzgruppen and the Security Police, to which the defendants belonged, were responsible for the murder of two million defenseless human beings, and the evidence presented in this case has in no way shaken this finding. …
Judicial opinions are often primarily prepared for the information and guidance of the legal profession, but the Nuremberg judgments are of interest to a much larger segment of the earth's population. It would not be too much to say that the entire world itself is concerned with the adjudications being handed down in Nuremberg. …
The story of the Einsatzgruppen and the Einsatzkommandos is not something pieced together years after their crimson deeds were accomplished. The story was written as the events it narrates occurred, and it was authored by the doers of the deeds. It was written in the terse, exact language which military discipline requires, and which precision of reporting dictates. …
The case of the Prosecution is founded entirely on these official accounts prepared by the Einsatzgruppen and Einsatzkommando leaders.”
In other words the evidence, in its entirety, is said to be documents supposedly captured from German records. No doubt the documents were introduced by the Bolsheviks. Who found the alleged documents? When were they found? Where were they found?
Anyway, the evidence for the alleged mass extermination of some 2,000,000 would be stuff written on paper, said to be captured from German records, submitted by the same minds that introduced their own crime at the Katyn Forest as a German crime.
Any controversy about who did what at Katyn was and is made clear by the German report on their investigation complete with photographs of the forensic procedure, not to mention the eventual admission by the Russians. In the extant report we see the scene of the crime, the mass graves as they are being uncovered, and the bodies.
For the above allegations in “CASE 9” of the Military Tribunal we have what was read from pieces of paper submitted by the Bolsheviks, 10,000 here shot, 20,000 there unto 30,000 someplace else. As it says, “The case of the Prosecution is founded entirely on these official accounts prepared by the Einsatzgruppen and Einsatzkommando leaders.”
Okay, they said it. That the case was founded “entirely” on the “official records” which would be alleged captured German records, found by whom, not said, when they were found, not said, where they were found, not said. Then of course, no reports on investigations of scene of the crimes mentioned, no forensic reports, no proof of any bodies – nothing.
Thus, if compared to real U.S. court standards in a murder trial – If nothing, then no Holocaust.
