Keep in mind that there are no documents with Adolf Hitler's signature
authorizing the extermination of the jews. Also, nowhere in the entire
Nazi archives  does the word "holocaust" appear. Absolutely nowhere!
If the jew killing were an organization there would be records
indicating the aforementioned. What is was is a few loose cannons went
their own way and killed a few thousand jew each. A terrible crime
which required severe retribution but certainly didn't rise  to the
level the jews claim.
