Hey Vsauce! Michael here!
Adobe’s VP Engineering for Document Cloud, Phil Ydens, estimates there may be up to 2.5 trillion PDF documents in the world. That's about 2 documents for every single person on earth. That's a lot of documents. PDF's however are just an extension of an age old format, the document. Literally trillions of documents have existed throughout history, each with it's own unique information and creator.
Yet despite such a copious amount of documents that exist, there are none from the Nazi German government that expressed a master plan to annihilate the jews... How can that be? Out of the literally trillions of documents there are none that detail what we know as the Holocaust. So that leads us to our next question; did the Holocaust... really happen?
Now you probably thinking "What? Of course it happened!! He have so many document accounts from the survivors and the liberators," but that it actually the problem...
All the documentation of the Holocaust comes straight from the "survivors", yet no secondhand sources come from any other party of the time to support this claim...
But what about the liberator's sources, they're secondhand and surely they're reliable, right?? Well not exactly... All of the supposed death camps and and extermination squads happened exclusively in the East, which were liberated by the Soviets, and as it turns out the Soviets are pretty unreliable when it comes to history.... In fact Mikhail Gorbachev discovered in 1988 that the soviets had lied and covered up so many events that history exams had to be cancelled that year. So Soviet documentation is really anything but reliable...
So how can you possibly judge wether someone is guilty or not when you only hear evidence exclusively from the prosecution??
Speaking judge that brings us to the Nuremberg Trials. These Trials happened after the war's end, when most the supposed perpetrators had already died... how can dead men defend themselves???
They can't...
