The Curious case of Former Holocaust Denier Eric Hunt
Eric Hunt used to deny the Holocaust and created several videos where he outlined his views. Since then, he has realized that the Holocaust did occur, and has spoken out against the 'revisionists' and deniers. In this video, we're going to see what he said and why, in the hope that other deniers realize the error of their ways. (Thank you to Ted for asking today's question.)
To the KZread censors: I'm NOT a Nazi, nor a Fascist, nor a Marxist, nor do I believe in any other evil totalitarian ideology. I'm defending the Holocaust, NOT denying it, even though I am talking about a Holocaust denier. The purpose of this video is to study history so that we can avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. If we deny history, it will repeat.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.

Non-monetization isn't merely "let's not fund secret nazis" but also "let's try to get funds to the victims" (most all of whom are dead by now) but above all "how can google avoid paying out while convincing others it pays out" I don't know of any other video service which pays you to upload, it's economic competition as well as political factors.

I kind of know what he went through. In my second year in the U.S., my English 102 professor encouraged me to dig into what happened in Tibet from 1949 to 1959 for my final project. That was the first time I researched and read through everything both sides had documented about that time. I came to realize both sides had added, deleted, exaggerated, or downplayed events to better fit their narratives. But at the same time, through comparisons, I was able to draw a rough picture of what happened during that 10 years. For me, it was a very confusing time. Imagine being 19 years old and all of a sudden finding out what I knew for the past 19 years may not necessarily be true. It took me another two years and numerous readings/classes to finally pull it through. It is interesting out of all the classes I took in undergrad, it was a couple politics, history, and one English writing class that really shaped who I was as a person.

You actually get put in prison for questioning certain details about the H in most European countries, including some Eastern European countries like Russia, I believe. They put like an 80 year old grandmother in prison for asking questions about the H in Europe. They have no mercy. I'm pretty sure she died in prison. That doesn't make for a good debate tactic. It actually makes you think that they're afraid of debating the history and details that we're all taught about. Maybe because a lot of the details of it have been factually debunked... Btw, it's Mandatory for all schools to teach about this certain, horrible situation. At the same time ignoring way worse incidents that happened around the same time... not to mention the fact that they make a couple movies about it every year. The truth doesn't fear the light. Edit: I'm going to repost this because I doubt anyone will see this in this thread.

Locked away in their own nations for speaking the truth while foreigners rape and pillage their lands with zero consequence.
A real Nazi would never deny the Holocaust, because the real ones are proud of it. When the Dutch right wing fascist sympathizer Willem Sassen interviewed Adolf Eichmann in Argentina, he was shocked when Eichmann very openly spoke about the Holocaust. Sassen has spent years to deny the Holocaust in different publications or tried to argument for much lower numbers and thought Eichmann would give him some useful information to help him with his political agenda. This shock only shows how naive Willem Sassen was. These interviews were recorded on tape and parts of these famous "Sassen protocols" can be found even on KZread. The same is true for communists and the GULag. The naive left wing sympathizers of Marxist ideas don't want to talk about the GULag and the Purges and the Holodomor and try to downplay the cruelties in the Soviet Union (or in Mao's China), or to find all kind of excuses (difficult measures were necessary in difficult times, etc.). The real bolsheviks would not lie about it, they would be proud for what they have done. They would say it was necessary. If you want to get rid of the Kulak farmers or the urban bourgeoisie in order to erect the dictatorship of the proletariate, you have to kill them. The naive sympathizers of the far left or the far right don't want to admit that the political idea itself is flawed, they say only the measures taken were bad, but the idea is good. No, the idea was bad from the very beginning.

I have to say that I used to be a Holocaust denier myself, precisely BECAUSE Holocaust denial is being punished by the law. Basically, the logic is, people in power hate the truth the most (which is true), and so if they have to BAN something, then said something must be true, right? Second reason was that, well, Holocaust never really made sense to me - until, that is, I watched your videos on Hitler's socialism. That is what finally convinced me that yes, Holocaust did happen. Thank you for that. EDIT: Also, the Left definitely does equate Germans with Nazis, and in fact equates white people with Nazis. Hence the Holocaust denialism - it is a defensive response to "you are evil for having been born".

Being disallowed from questioning something certainly makes you want to question it further.
As a Jew I have always wondered about the math of cremation. Even today it takes 4 0plus hrs to com0lete and then there’s still skeleton left. THIS IS “the ashes” one recieves after cremation. I don’t see enough time. Then there’s how does one fit 200,000 bodies in large pits? Do people not realise how deep they’d have to dig? We did in the USA (Yankees) buried confederate dead in trenches at up to 10,000 and they are LONG. my fear has always been that these camps are still cemeteries and loved ones are still there. We need to know for sure. Maybe it no longer matters. My guess is the numbers are slightly inflated and they used burn pits over crematories and trenches to bury their victims. We KNOW the Allie’s did this when they freed camps due to the amount of dead as we have pictures and testimony. We should always strive for truth and not forgot ALL those murdered.

"I'm here to defend the holocaust, not deny it" That's a badly worded sentence if I've seen one.
David Cole, writing as David Stein, disputed a portion of the Holocaust and knocked the number down to 4 million. He got violent death threats from the Jewish Defense League, and from Nazis calling him a shill. What this number brings to mind is that when we talked about figures for the forced famines in the USSR and in China, estimates vary by tens of millions, especially trying to separate natural deaths from deaths caused by government action such as seizing all the food.

The problem with nearly all conspiracy theories is they're based on the idea that if you can prove or cast doubt on the accuracy of one part of the official story, the whole thing comes down and then you can put forward a different story (often with zero proof of this alternative). The best argument/analogy against this technique I heard is that if I have a 1,000 piece jigsaw and I've got 950 pieces in the right place, but missing/put the last 50 pieces in the wrong place, I can still tell it's a picture of the Eiffel Tower and you pointing out these 50 wrong pieces doesn't mean you get to claim it's actually a jigsaw of Niagra Falls

Personally, I think Deniers are not so concerned with denying the Holocaust as they are with distracting us from other topics surrounding the Nazis. Every minute we spend proving the Holocaust happened, something only a very small minority genuinely don't believe, is a minute we are not addressing the misrepresentation of who the Nazis actually were politically and its consequences for social discourse today. In other words, the Holocaust being denied is arguably less important to address than the fact people don't know who the Nazis really were and are using them as analogues for modern political movements that are decidedly un-Nazi, thus promoting dangerous political movements that do share commonalities with the Nazis. By way of example, as noted by TIK, Nazis were socialists and authoritarians. They were not pro-Capitalist and definitely not libertarian, but due to decades now of letting mostly left-wing historians set the narrative that Nazism was the opposite of Marxist Socialism because Nazism saw Marxism as a primary opponent, people use the term Nazi today to describe libertarian movements when it should be obvious that is not the case. How can people who argue for less government, more personal freedom, and individual responsibility be associated with a political movement that demanded complete obedience to the State? Because kids read that the Nazis were "right wing extremists" in books written by left-wingers, libertarianism is considered right-wing by Socialist standards, and no one is making a serious effort to correct the misperceptions because socialists benefit from people not supporting libertarians because those people think the libertarians are nazis.

The nazis weren't nationalists though, they were racialists. You could live in germany, and you weren't considered part of the nation unless you were ethnically german. As well, germans in OTHER countries were considered part of the "nation" and the nazis even put out calls to ethnic germans in places like the US to "return to the fatherland". It's hard imo to even argue the national socialists were nationalists, since their ideology went beyond borders and was more important than the nation itself. The nazis cared more about you if you were a german living in a different nation than their own ethnic minority citizens, so I would say they weren't nationalists.

So I should tell all my family to hate this evil ancestor because he killed people in battle, I guess I should be personally shunned because I killed people in battle as well.

It's not been taken away and it's the same as it ever was. Just because one private corporation decides they want to get rid of certain content doesn't mean that the government is after you and you aren't guaranteed your First Amendment anymore. The government can't take away your free speech, you can still peaceably assemble and you can go on any myriad of other platforms to publicize your views.

I want to applaud you for making this video. I have known for a while now that holocaust denialist arguments are rampantly spread on the internet and have even seen some of my friends become skeptical of the holocaust. I have for a while now desired to find well-crafted arguments for why many of their conclusions are wrong. I don't like to debate openly about these things since it's clearly accompanied by stigma and a lot of people simply want to silence people being skeptical through force (anti-hate speech laws; Antifa using intimidation etc.). I wrote an article on defusing dangerous thought through free discussion and I wanted to add some of these holocaust denial arguments. The way I wanted to do it is by explaining what made holocaust denials come to their conclusions and tell why it is wrong. I wasn't sure if I should do it because I'm still 21 and I was fearful of the repercussions if my article would've been taken out of context and I'd be punished for the misinterpretation of others while I'm still at arguably the beginning of my life. I'm glad you are doing this because you're doing what I desired to do as well and did it in a way that is more accessible than a student magazine. As long as their wrong conclusions don't get contested in intellectual debate they will freely spread on what is arguably "the black market" of intellectual thought.

It was also responsible and accountable for the well being of every individual deported. Whether those individuals died of disease or hunger, because the Allies cut the food provision lines --as deniers claim--does not exonerate the Third Reich from responsibility. Having said that, I do think the Allies were not held accountable for atrocities they committed. However, that does not exonerate the Third Reich.
I really like how TIK doesn't presume to know others ideological convictions. Like where he says Hunt was a Nazi, witch is not a unreasonable conclusion, but since he really doesn't know is he or not, he corrects him self and says holocaust denier. I m not saying someone has to admit to being nazi or communist before you can make that assumption, but is is so refreshing to see this kind of thing in the modern days, since now days everyone is a nazi or a communist or usually they are both, since they really are neither.

People use that word very lightly. Perhaps the nazbols had some power after WW2, but the actual anti-semites were not in leadership positions. If Trump was a supporter of the German party, his presidency was a greater victory than the Battle of Dunkirk. Also, shows that they were pioneers in human rights, which is not true.

I've never seen a good breakdown of holocaust deaths. What numbers can be attributed to intentional slaughter, harsh conditions, capital punishment, logistical issues and disease? It's probably been impossible to work out since 1945 but I still think it somewhat matters.

Starve people and they succumb to disease. To quibble over exact causes may seem like an attempt to exculpate guilty parties.
A guy that goes to jail for his beliefs would have all the reasons in the world to say he changed his mind, what he actually thinks doesn't necessarily have to be the same thing, a sudden change of heart be it Hunt, Irving or Weber is always suspicious but if they have proper documentation to validate their new position one would have to agree with them but if they don't give a good explanation to explain themselves then one has to entertain other possibilities, threats, being tired to fight, financial motivations, whatever, in other words, I wouldn't give them credit until I know their reasons, just a precautionary measure.
For me the fact that he needed to spend the whole intro saying he's not a Nazi is a greater tragedy than anything we could say about the Holocaust. That genocied is over and the Jews it killed dead and gone. However, censorship, fear of being canceled, excessive corporate power permitting it to manipulate what people can say....these are all alive and well. And they shouldnt exist. I dont care how good a reason you have, i dont care what cause you serve and i sure as hell dont care what your definition of "responsiblity" is. No man should be this scared of saying what he thinks or needing to take this many precautions.

This is one of the reasons why I started to question things many decades ago as the outright demonization of Notsee's, 1930's/40's Germany and its people, bombing of Dresden, etc etc etc. while the same fervor to also blame the Communists and Soviet Union for much worse atrocities was absent. The Demonization of the National Socialists of Germany has always been about Right/Left politics. It has put right wing Nationalists and racialists always on defense. Even Conservatives play into their narrative and it has become very destructive for the West.
"Dresden bombing victims": How often are bombing victims stripped naked, shaved bald, and piled up like fire wood? Ted should of questioned his own thoughts early on before publishing.

I'm not all the way through, but one thing I found you didn't quite pass on as the video presented it was the 2,000 bodies being burned a day. He didn't take pits into consideration because the person on trial who claimed to burn 2,000 bodies a day said he did it with the ovens. Even giving a ridiculous timeline for how quick he said he could burn multiple bodies at a time.

Gonna add more stuff as I follow the video. Another point you make right after the 2,000 bodies statement is in regard to the zionist propaganda and it being misapplied. The problem with that is that jewish newspapers decades before, leading up to, and during WW2 that spot about the death and destruction of 6 millions jews. So you can say that number specifically has been used as propaganda

TIK I disagree with you about nationalism. Hitler was not a nationalist since he did not respect nationalist principles. According to nationalism the borders of countries should follow ethnic borders as much as possible. Hitler's ideology and particulary the Lebensraum part of it clearly contradicts the ethnic principle of nationalism. Hitler clearly conquered territories that were ethnically non-German. Hitler advertized himself as German nationalist put he was first and foremost an imperialist warmonger. Pure nationalism not distorted by Hitler and other nazis can be a positive thing. Real Nationalism does not in any way mean destroying and killing other ethnic or other groups.

"Real Nationalism" I see. Perhaps AH had a different definition than yours? Perhaps he thought that it meant expanding the borders of his nation and making sure that anyone who wasn't of his "nation" didn't remain alive in the new expanded borders? There's an old, circa 1814, German song with lyrics, "Sein Vaterland muss größer sein!" It might be worth your while to look it up. There's an article at wikipedia about it. I have reservations about the content, but it's quite a nice song actually, there are versions of it on YT.
“I’m here to defend the Holocaust, not deny it.” That’s… not really an improvement. On a serious note. Really enjoyed the video! Great work as always!

Himmler's Possen 1943 speech spells it out quite clearly when he addressed a serious question that must of been important enough issue within the ranks of the SS that it needed to be addressed as it's own bullet point in the speech. The children. Many within the SS seemed to view the children as innocent. Himmler in that speech addressed it as "these children will grow up hating us for what we have done. For this we will forever have to view them with distrust as they will grow up to be our new threat as they may never forgive us." Yes I paraphrased... as I don't remember it word for word, but he basically justified the murder of children providing rationale to other officers within the SS. The fact he brought it up means many had serious issues with what they were doing. Especially toward children. To me the 1943 Possen Speech was proof enough. However, it lets you know that they were still human with human concerns. Yet used horrible logic and inhuman rationale to justify what they were doing. You can understand why many of them became alcohol and drug addicts. It falls back to one of my favorite quotes. "Some of the worst things imaginable happened out of good intentions."
