The Jews were resettled......

Or so Butz and other deniers would have us believe. This "theory" has already been demolished many times, but I thought that the following quote from chapter one of John C. Zimmerman's book Holocaust Denial sums what all the anti-denialists have had to say about the resettlement theory up:

Quote:

One of the two deniers' sources for these deportees being sent to the Soviet Union is Arthur Butz, who argued that German statements about moving Jews eastward should be taken at face value. He favored the explanation as the Soviet Union being the ultimate destination. He wrote that "[w]hile we have a good idea of where these settlements were, we know little else about them other than that they existed." Butz, however, could not give any specifies as to exactly where these people were transported other than that they ended up in the Soviet Union. He did acknowledge that most of the Jews of pre-war Poland were moved out, but the lack of specifics was attributed to the "Allied occupation" which "destroyed the relevant German records"(LOL-sobe) on resettlement.82 He offered no proof for any of these assertions.

Butz and others who have offered this resettlement theory have never attempted to explain the mechanics of resettling such a large group of people. Where were they housed and fed? Did the Germans build towns in the Soviet Union specifically for resettlement of Jews? What were the transport routes? A resettlement of this magnitude would have required a tremendous amount of German resources. The only German resettlements known of during the war was the resettlement of ethnic Germans onto territories occupied by Germany.

Moreover, the resettlement of millions of people would not have gone unnoticed. Yet, there is not a single document relating to such a resettlement. Even if all of the documents were destroyed, as Butz contends, many people would have known the specifics of such a program. It would have taken hundreds, if not thousands, of Germans to have carried out the resettlement and at least as many people to have been involved in the building projects. Yet, no one has ever come forward to testify about such a resettlement. This is strange since it would have made an ideal defense at the Nuremberg War Crimes trials and subsequent trials. Certainly the high ranking Nazis would have known the specifics of such a policy. In fact, former high ranking transportation specialists in Germany during the war did not offer Soviet resettlement as a defense in post-war trials, though none of them seems to have admitted that they knew the real purpose for the train transports.83 As will be shown in Chapter 6, no war crimes defendant offered resettlement as a defense, even those who denied any knowledge of the Holocaust.

(All emphasis are mine-sobe)

As stressed repeatedly, the resettlement theory is strictly for the birds.

According to "revisionist" logic, an elephant can go unnoticed in a China shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
