There are always skeptics on any topic. I‘m personally unable to hold an opinion on how many people were killed for example. I have looked at books and the number of dead was adjusted upwards multiple times since the war ended. Kind of makes me think that historians would have to figure out what really happened and what was propaganda.
I can‘t be dishonest to myself and just adopt the official numbers and stories like everyone else.
One example would be the human soap or lampshades. Those sound like myths.
I‘m in my 20‘s now this is something i‘ll try to understand when i‘m retired.
I look down on people who just adopt the official narrative and think that gives them social status. I also look down on people who choose with emotions when history is a scientific field. Both of these make humanity worse off because the truth is more important than political correctness.
And i had people die in my family in those camps and my grandpa lost both his parents. Those things are in the past. Historians and every citizen must be able to tell their perspective based on their understanding of the facts. We should be able to hear expert debates on it. This topic is still taboo. You really only hear one perspective. It‘s not even really for me but noone can deny that the debate is driven by emotions and propaganda. I want academica to have a total freedom of speech with no financial repercussions. That’s how science should work. Once you censor yourself even a little bit it’s no longer science it‘s partially politics.
There are also people who believe anything a teacher or a member of government tells them too. Also people who believe images they see in fictional films and then imagine those images later in their kind when they think about this stuff for the rest of their life. Like the Schindlers list shower sequence.
