      Abbas quotes historian Raul Hilberg to support his allegations that fewer than one million Jews were killed.[13][14][15][16] However, Rafael Medoff of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies denied the assertion that “The historian and author, Raoul Hilberg, thinks that the figure does not exceed 890,000”, and said this is “utterly false”. He wrote that “Professor Hilberg, a distinguished historian and author of the classic study The Destruction of the European Jews, has never said or written any such thing.”[12]

      In the book Abbas raises doubts regarding the existence of the gas chambers, quoting Robert Faurisson, on the nonexistence of gas chambers.

      So he doesn’t deny that the Holocaust happened…just that it was millions fewer deaths than reported, the Jews were a pivotal and willing part of the plan, and also there were no gas chambers. Cool.
