A few years ago, YouTube user "TheTrans22" uploaded a video showing off a small collection of roughly 100 year old pre-war newspapers talking about "six million Jews". That video has been taken down by YouTube (censorship is a policy I disagree with) but many far-right youtubers have mirrored/reuploaded it, and it still has tens of thousands of views and has managed to fool many, many people, which is the reason why I felt the need to upload a refutation.
Because somehow, that video is supposed to be some kind of TRUTH BOMB and EYE OPENER. Holocaust Deniers use those newspaper articles as proof that Jews have been crying Wolf for decades, and ask us, after all these holocausts, why we should now believe in *the* Holocaust of Six Million Jews 1939-45?
In this video I demonstrate how laughable this argument of theirs is, because not only are the articles cherry-picked for "six million", and all the other estimates made by American Journalists when talking about the pre-war populations of Poland, Ukraine, Russia etc. NOT shown, but even the "six million" articles themselves are not lies in any form (beyond journalist lingo) because none of them say millions of Jews have been killed; instead they speak of famine, persecution, hardship etc. and that is indeed true, as the late 19th/early 20th century was a turbulent time for anyone in Eastern Europe. Consider, for example, the antisemitism in the Tsarist government, or the war the Bolsheviks fought against the White Movement (Russian Civil War 1917-1923) that led to several million dead. I wouldn't want to be caught in that crossfire.
When backed into a corner, revisionists desperately point out that the word "holocaust" itself ALSO kept appearing in pre-war literature. But no historian is alleging that that word was invented after the war; what simply happened, is it gradually transitioned from its original, more generic meaning describing a disastrous calamity, and went to take on a more specific meaning to refer to the Shoah in particular.
