The article I chose to read was titled, "Is the Holocaust a Hoax?" The main claim of the article was that the holocaust was fabrication made up by the Allies after world war two. The author tries to discredit any evidence of the holocaust ever happening. However, his own evidence is sketchy and questionable at best. For example, he talks about how a man named Fred A. Leuchter, who is suposedly a specialist on the design and fabrication of execution equipment, scraped samples from the gas chambers in Auschwitz. Leuchters finding were that the walls contained no cyanide residue and that they must if gas had actually been used in the chamber. In my opinion, its going to take a little more than some evidence from skecthball Fred A. Leuchter. I mean come on he's a specialist in execution equipment, he must know what he's talking about. First of all, what makes him a so called "leading specialist" on the design and fabrication of execution equipment. Usually in an article like this if the author references an expert his name will be followed by the letters Phd or atleast give some explanation as to what qualifies him as an expert. The author offers absolutely no explanation as to what makes Leuchter an expert. For all we know he could just be some nut whos hobby is learning about killing people. Furthermore, the author goes on to say that the Polish Government tried to disprove Leuchter but came to the same result. Once again the author doesn't provide any evidence of this experiment carried out by the Polish Government. He thinks the reader should believe him just because he said it. Its ironic that the same thing he is accusing the "fabricators of the holocaust" of, he himself is doing. He goes so far as to say the diary of Anne Frank was a fake. His overwhelming evidence is that a portion of the diary was written with a ball point pen and that these pens were not in use at the time of Anne frank. Once again, where is the evidence? He is making a lot of claims and providing no credible evidence. In the end he fall back on the claim that all the corpses people found at the concentration camps died of Typhus. This seems to be a favorite explanation for all holocaust deniers. The Iranian television program said the same thing. In summation, the author offers absolutely no credible evidence for any of the claims he is making and its obvious he is not very fond of Jewish people to begin with.
