David Coles Point of View on Holocaust - Essay Example

David Cole attempts to unearth the debate on holocaust with a new perspective altogether. He attempts to reveal that the holocaust never really occurred and if it did, the scale was highly exaggerated. The central focus of Cole has been the concentration camp at Auschwitz that is seen as responsible for more Jewish deaths than other concentration camps. Within the confines of Auschwitz, Cole has tried to concentrate on the gas chamber more than anything else. He tries to bring forth evidence and assumptions that are as refutable as the evidence he is trying to refute in the first place.

While moving around the camp he mentions the presence of a swimming pool but he fails to see the size of the swimming pool carefully enough. Cole is suggestive that the inmates were allowed to use a swimming pool the size of an ordinary carpet rug. Given that Auschwitz housed thousands of people at the same time, it seems strange to notice that a swimming pool would be available to serve them. Instead, it seems more likely that the camp’s senior-most staff would have been allowed to use the swimming pool.

In a similar manner, much of the evidence presented by Cole is weak and circumstantial.Another major allegation by Cole is the absence of millions of human bodies in mass graves to prove Auschwitz gruesome nature.
