The problem with a genocide like the Holocaust is, imagine trying to try Hitler for the murder of just one of the victims of the Holocaust.
Well, I guess it wasn't too much of a problem since the upper echelon of the Third Reich stood trial for war crimes. The only ones that didn't fled to places like Argentina and Australia. Some were hunted down and stood trials then. Others, like Hitler, decided to commit suicide because he knew the outcome was grim.
If there was enough evidence to convict lesser officers within the SS, then Hitler would have been screwed. Obviously he was aware of that, which is why he chose to take his own life.
If not only that person was killed, but everybody in the town where that person lived was killed, too, and then everybody who knew about that town was either killed or couldn't be found, how exactly would you legally prove that that one person had been alive in the first place? You might find a birth record somewhere, but that would just prove that they had been born. How would you prove that that one person had been in a concentration camp if the only people who could have identified that person were there in the camp with them, and then they were all killed together?
If you are asking whether or not you can piece together the murder for each individual person, sure, that would be exceedingly difficult, and in some cases, impossible. But the Nazi's, for whatever reason, really didn't cover up their tracks very well. In fact, the images we have today of The Final Solution, mostly came from Nazi's themselves. They
implicated themselves.
It's fairly difficult to establish the eventual disposition of the millions of Jews who were swept up in the Holocaust. For any given individual it's quite difficult to come to a positive determination about whether or not they died in a concentration camp, fled the country and took refuge somewhere else, potentially under an assumed name, or just disappeared somehow in the chaos of war.
I'm sure a few of them did manage to escape, though we know that the Nazi's took measures in making sure they didn't. The Nazi's controlled all of Germany, Austria, Belgium, etc, etc. That's a long walk through enemy fortified positions. Aside from which, all the people that received settlements were found by Russian, British, and US forces inside the concentrations camps when they were liberated.
And, of course, you can always deny the existence of the gas chambers and mass executions.
Not very convincingly since human remains were strewn all over the place, some fully decomposed, some with rigor mortis and dependent lividity, some in full blown putrefaction, the ovens were found, the Zyklon B was recovered, the showers converted for gas were discovered, the gallows, the incinerators, and, and, and, all found at Aushwitz and the other concentrations camps. About the most a Nazi soldier at the time could say, is that they didn't have any personal involvement.
Who's to say (so argue the deniers) that they weren't simply marched out the other door, clean and healthy, and then taken to some other facility?
Because of the
insurmountable evidence. Scroll down and read these
documents.
It's only in the convergence of evidence that the Holocaust is undeniable. There's no one, specific piece of evidence that can confirm it beyond all doubt.
Well, you can't identify with complete certainty every single person that was killed in the Holocaust. Of course not. You can only find thousands and millions of remains, and deduce that they are in the rubble, just like how not everyone was recovered from 9/11. But they never came home. They worked there. Planes destroyed two buildings, damaged a third, and was incinerated in the four crashes. Its greatly implied that they died, as there is no other reasonable explanation as to their disappearance since there exists credible evidence that they did in fact die in the place they were supposed to be.
