Typhus is an infectious disease spread by lice, ticks, mites, and rat fleas. The overall case fatality rate for untreated infections is 10 to 40%; however, the mortality rate increases with age. Infections are rarely fatal in children less than 10 years old, but in people over 50 years old the mortality rate can be as high…

Fuel for Cremation Part Three
Part 1 We are left with two more paragraphs to address in Holocaust Denial on Trial’s (HDoT) article on fuel deliveries to Auschwitz-Birkenau. However, since I have already thoroughly debunked the claim of open-air cremations, we can skip over the second paragraph. HDoT states: “There is proof that the ovens were designed to reduce fuel…
Fuel for Cremation Part Two
Part 1 In part one I demonstrated that despite the lack of documents, we can use available data to infer that the amount of coke (refined coal) delivered to Auschwitz/Birkenau is consistent with the cremation of registered detainees deceased in the camp—not with the mass alleged gassings. Today I will be addressing Holocaust Denial on…
Fuel for Cremation Part One
Part 2 Holocaust Denial on Trial (HDoT) asks the question, “Was there enough coal available at Auschwitz-Birkenau to cremate the remains of nearly 900,000 Jewish victims?” HDoT follows this question up by repeating a claim from David Irving. I am not interested in defending Irving’s particular claim, which doesn’t matter to the overall point of…
Crematory Breakdowns in Auschwitz/Birkenau

I hope they are not salty at the fact that SimilarWeb.com says I get more internet traffic than they do. In the following excerpt from HDoT’s article on crematoria repairs HDoT asks “How do we…
The Bischoff Letter
Holocaust Denial on Trial (HDoT) claims that there is a document shows us the capacity of the cremation ovens at Auschwitz/Birkenau. This capacity of 4,756 bodies a day would theoretically be enough to dispose of all the alleged gassing victims in Auschwitz/Birkenau. It is important to note that Bischoff was the head of the Central…
Cookie Monster
Since I just debunked a Holocaust affirming meme I thought I’d be fair and address a Holocaust denying meme. This meme is correct in spirit, but not in execution. It is true that it takes at least an hour for a body to be cremated (I will discuss this in detail later) with the type…
