The Holocaust occurred.
Nazi Germany and its collaborators murdered approximately six million Jews. Extensive documentary and physical evidence establishes this history.
Show me why
The evidence includes perpetrators’ own records, survivor and witness accounts, photographs, film and records used at postwar trials. These different sources converge; the history does not rest on a single testimony.
A common misconception
The absence of one complete list of all victims does not negate the extensive converging record.
Where the limits are
Research continues on individual victims, places and perpetrators. Uncertainty about a particular detail does not make the genocide unresolved.
How we know
The US Holocaust Memorial Museum presents original documents and explains their provenance, including reports by mobile killing units and the Wannsee Conference record. Historical examination checks authorship, context and agreement with other evidence.
What would change this conclusion?
New authenticated records can revise particular details. Rejecting the occurrence would require explaining the combined evidence, not isolated gaps.
