Treblinka

The claim is based on a few eyewitnesses and coerced statements with no satisfactory corroborating evidence; much of this evidence appears corroborating due to hind sight alterations of scripts and loss of relevant documents.  The chain of evidence is clearly broken and deliberately tampered with.   The closest people get to evidence are the few train schedules most of which have disappeared, which if available and examined might well indicate other possibilities.

There is little doubt that hundred of thousands of people perished, which is a sad affair, but not in the manner claimed.  There is little doubt that hundreds of thousands of the alleged victims stayed in Poland, a similar amount crossing the border at the Bug river to work in numerous places; At one time, it was thought only a few work camps, juden lagers and konzentrationslager existed east of the Bug, but in Belarus alone there were over 500 camps; the total if Ostland and Ukraine are counted would be considerably more; many of these camps are still unknown.
Poland had over 600 camps;The approximate number of camps are known, but the details of names etc are lost in the mists of time.

The camps in Latvia would have been the hardest, with people living in cardboard huts; it is hard enough in winter when the power goes out in modern times let alone facing an Arctic winter in a cardboard hut in wet clothes, minimal heating.

To answer Turnagain's point, people lie for many reasons, usually to make money or for a political cause;Treblinka has a monument on site; if people wish to grieve over perceived victims instead of examining the real hardships their relatives suffered in Latvia then that is their affair.

If people went missing at the camp as unlikely as it is, or passed through the camp and perished in the ice, snow, perhaps disease and gunfire it really does not matter except of historical accuracy; the Treblinka extermination story is really no more than the Ostrich effect, where one buries their head in the sands of time and illusion, hiding the true horrors that occurred.

The horrors were not deliberate, though it is a fact that people were euthanized as per law (aktion 14F13; this was only in the hundreds not in the thousands as claimed. The euthanasia events were exaggerated beyond belief. If they believe that then so be it, but the reality lies in the Snows of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania; the cold hard truth. That story is worth telling and there is information from Dutch workers, laboring alongside their jüdische workmates.

People weren't gassed/asphyxiated in hermetically sealed chambers, buried in giant graves, exhumed and then cremated on any magic Jew barbeque and you know it, Nessie. 

You have NO viable evidence that ~850,000 were gassed and disposed of at Treblinka. It's been proven repeatedly that the claims made for Treblinka are impossibilities. Unlike you, I don't believe in magic.

Insistence on “contemporaneous evidence directly relating to TII” is merely an avoidance of Turnagain’s question.

It is basically arguing that “you must believe those parts of the contradictory accounts that were alleged at the war’s end and which over the following years emerged as the ‘official’ story and which has been shored up ever since, after numerous discredited accounts were edited out and elements were cherry-picked to create the most credible version”, as that is what passes for “contemporaneous”.

I.e. what passes for “contemporaneous evidence” is what believers and/or defenders of the official narrative self-deludedly/deceitfully maintain has been arrived at by a ‘convergence’ after weeding out all the unsustainable and embarrassing nonsensical eye-witness (lie-witness?) testimony and post-war Soviet ‘investigations’. Those testimonies that Turnagain asked about.

By this method of avoidance the still remaining and irrefutable empirical evidence showing no requisite ground disturbance or large enough mass graves for 850,000 at T2 is thus conveniently avoided.

And therefore the mantra “I do not believe what is not evidenced and proved” is shown to be either a self-justifying delusion or a deliberate deception. As that is EXACTLY what is being done and is being insisted others should do, viz. believing the official narrative despite the fact that the empirical evidence refutes it in so many particulars.

Yes Turnagain’s question defintely has been avoided by yourself.
So to claim otherwise is either: 1.) a deception by you or 2.) a sign you are unable to comprehend simple sentences.

He didn’t claim ALL the witnesses lied.

But even if he had, if you could support with irrefutable empirical evidence available now, the T2 testimony claiming to have seen the process of mass-murdering, cremating and burying 850,000 Jews — thus proving their anecdotal accounts — then and ONLY THEN could you make your delusional or deceitful claim that unlike Turnagain you “only believe what can be evidenced and proven”.

It is really quite a simple distinction.
Surely a person claiming to have an M.A in History and to be trained and experienced in criminal investigation should be able to comprehend it? 🤔
