Holocaust denial

I have been reading a lot of stuff recently, some of which has disturbed me.  There are a lot of people out there who say the Holocaust, that horrible time in history they taught us about in school never really happened the way they say it did. 

They cite how there's no way camps like auschewits(sp?) had the capacity to eliminate as many people as they said were held there.  They talk about how zyklon-b wasn't really powerful enough to kill anyone, and those showers apparently outfitted with this chemical were actually used for a delousing procedure.  They talk about how it doesn't make any sense to trick people into going to their death when you've already got them in your custody.

I don't know man; holocaust deniers seem to have information to back them up, all kinds of evidence, to which the holocaust sympathizers only have name calling and questioning the motives of those who deny it.  I am someone who really would like to believe that the holocaust happened, if only so that I can believe there isn't a vast conspiracy behind it.  So, any holocaust sympathizers with a good rebuttal to what they're saying?

Well. I'm going to go with stupidity here. The answer? There was no big conspiracy. Just a whole bunch of little lies that outgrew their breeches. It happens. We know world isn't flat anymore and the earth doesn't revolve around the sun and the Nazis didn't kill six million Jews.

Bleh, no biggie. Just don't say anything to a Jew cause they'll throttle you, call you an anti-semite, smear you, and throw you in jail if they can. That's more important than the asinine realization that mobs of people can lie for personal benefit.

Feh.
