I am not saying noone died, and I am not putting it beyond the realm of possibility that gas chambers existed. Indeed I think that those operating the camps were quite ruthless, particularly towards the end of the war, often killing those who they deemed unfit for work. What I am debating however, is possible the most evil of evil claims, that there was a systematic plan to gas all Jews in Europe. I believe they were used for forced man power, at a time when Germany was absolutely desperate for man power, in a brutal fashion along with the various other groups (such as large numbers of Slavic peoples), and that many who were unfit or unable to do what they were told to were killed, just as happened in the Soviet Gulag's.
