Great... we got holocaust deniers in here now
He’s not a ‘denier’, he’s an ‘explorer’
Textbook racist infiltration technique.
Try to pose bullshit, discredited, and racist theories/conspiracies as an ‘unbiased observer’, just looking for the ‘truth’.
the researcher is a jew, dumb ass. i thought it was settled science too before i looked into it. watch the talk and if you can disprove his points, love to hear it.
The IHR (where Cole gave his speech) is the Institute for Historical Review, a well-known Holocaust denial, anti-Semitic, and neo-Nazi affiliated organization posing under an academic model (weird you didn’t seem to find that in your research). Their main Holocaust denial points are pretty consistent and common among the people who speak for them and can be addressed here:

Here’s the IHR who just espouse slightly tempered “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” style conspiracy theories and couch their true beliefs in “Holocaust revisionism” which is just a wormy way of Holocaust denial:

https://fullfact.org/online/holocaust-death-toll/Another big thing about David Cole (or David Stein as he was known as as his Holocaust denial beliefs made him toxic for Conservatives to be around) is I can’t find anything about his credentials. Is he a trained, academic historian who has dedicated his life to studying the Holocaust? Hell, is he even a trained journalist who is aware of the ethical implications of his actions, etc.? I don’t know. So why are we believing him over people who do have those backgrounds who consistently agree on points opposed to him and his ilk? They too have sources they can cite but just because Cole does doesn’t mean he’s using them properly - a common mistake among “explorers.”
Here’s some more refutation:

Here’s a site all about providing evidence and refuting denial claims:
