WOODEN DOORS
It’s time to address the wooden door in the room. I’ve actually already done that here and here. But I’m just a little fish in the ocean, and I’ve got to contend with 200k+ follower Twitter (X) accounts spreading misinformation like the following:
I don’t know if this Machiavelli person from the tweet above is trying to be dishonest or if he doesn’t understand what he is doing. A Yandex search for “Auschwitz gas chamber doors” does not bring results from official Holocaust sources. None of these doors are claimed to have been used for the alleged homicidal gassings. I don’t care if you like the meme. Knowingly creating strawmen is not something real revisionists do—that task is for the liars and the fabulists.
The following image is from the official Auschwitz Museum Twitter account. This is a wooden door that they claim was used for homicidal gassings in Crematorium V. As you can see, it is much different than the doors Machiavelli posted.
In my opinion, the best takeaway from wooden doors is to ask why the Germans would use them when they used steel doors for the delousing chambers (see image below). It doesn’t make much sense given that Germans were known for their engineering prowess. For that I give a C ranking. For the strawman wooden doors I give an F. I recommend reading pages 122–127 of Germar Rudolf’s Chemistry of Auschwitz for reliable information about wooden doors.
210 Square Meters
Something I learned while researching this article is that officials will tell you how many people were allegedly gassed in the alleged gas chambers in Crema II and III in Auschwitz/Birkenau. They will tell you how big the chambers were, but I’ve never seen this information presented together. This is probably because the chambers were 210 square meters, or 4/5 the size of a tennis court. Rudolf Hoess, who gave key perpetrator testimony, said that the gas chambers were built for 2,000 people. Dario Gabbai, who claimed to be Sonderkommando, attested that he saw about 2,5000 to 3,000 going into the chamber. The image below is from the official webpage for the Auschwitz/Birkenau Memorial and Museum.
If you’re having a difficult time visualizing this data, we have a handy visual aid. The image below was created by Dean Irebodd to help you out. Sure, it might have been physically possible that they could all fit. But could happen and did happen are two very different things. No reasonable person should believe that Jews coming off the trains into a labor camp would have willingly been crammed like this into an underground room. Even if they were told it was to take a shower.
I just learned that ChatGPT is now connected to live search. So I asked a little question and got this interesting response:
This isn’t just a case of AI being mistaken. Sonderkommando like Szlama Dragon (see below) claimed that the alleged gassing operation took 15 to 20 minutes
Yes, that’s right. We’re supposed to believe that 2,000 Jews were packed into a room with military precision and then were murdered with gas in 20 minutes. I don’t think so. Due to the sheer absurdity and ease of explanation I give this talking point an S.
UPDATE 3/10/2025: An anonymous user wrote into the site pointing out that Dragon was probably only referring to the time for gassing and not filling the gas chamber. It can be interpreted either way, so I set out looking for other examples.
What I found after several hours of research is that the issue of how long it took to fill the gas chamber is glossed over by the major Holocaust fabulist websites, like Auschwitz.org and USHMM.org. There is no witness testimony that is readily available that explicitly gives a timeframe of how long it took to pack the alleged gas chamber. This is an important detail to not address when we’re supposed to believe that Auschwitz/Birkenau was “the most efficient murder instrument of the Final Solution”. A place where it is claimed that 1.1 million Jews were executed in 2 years. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and not providing essential details of the extermination process is inexcusable. That said I still give this talking point an S.
END UPDATE
HOLOCAUST MATH
The cookie monster math question was popularized because Nick Fuentes read a super chat that went something like this, “If I take an hour to cook a batch of cookies and Cookie Monster has 15 ovens working 24 hours a day , every day for 5 five years, how long does it take Cookie Monster to bake 6 million batches of cookies?“
Even though this meme is several years old, it is has persisted. The Twitter user below even claims the meme made him a Nazi. For someone that is already anti-Semitic this meme might be funny and impressive because they’re not really going to question it. Someone on the outside is going to think the meme is stupid. And it is. It doesn’t take a Holocaust expert to know the Third Reich only having 15 cremation ovens is absurd. I believe that this is yet another meme that would have never taken off if people didn’t lose their critical thinking skills when presented with something they like. Cookie Monster gets an F.
Fear not, Holocaust math is not a complete wash. It is true that, mathematically speaking, the cremation ovens in Auschwitz couldn’t have handled the workload of burning all the alleged victims (see below). I give this talking point an A.
