"some" being the operative word.
What's particularly interesting about his work is, following his liberation from Ebensee (don't forget most Auschwitz inmates were marched out before the Soviets arrived) and subsequent return to Paris, he drew many drawings, including a fascinating cross section of crematorium III (sorry can't find on the net - see Van Pelt's
the case for Auschwitz) which is astonishingly accurate. He did these drawings before any material on the structures was published.
So here we have a picture
Depicting crematorium III
People can indeed decide for themselves if he was ever there.
Of course, he cropped up at the Irving trial - this is from Rampton's closing speech
In 1945, a former inmate of Auschwitz, David Olere, an
7artist, drew the ground plan of Leichenkeller I in
8crematorium III. This drawing shows a zigzag alignment of
9the gassing columns in Leichenkeller I. These are the
10columns which would have ended in the apertures through
11which the gas pellets were inserted. It happens that that
12zigzag alignment is precisely matched by an aerial
13photograph taken by the Allies in 1944, which was not
14released to the world until 1979. There can, therefore,
15be no possibility of any cross-contamination
16between Olere's drawing and the aerial photograph. No
17doubt recognizing this, Mr Irving sought to suggest at
18this trial that the aerial photograph had been faked by
19the CIA. Professor van Pelt, however, explained to the
20court that he had had the photograph tested by Dr Nevin
21Bryant at NASA and that the result of those tests showed
22conclusively that the photograph was authentic.
23 In the light of Mr Irving's concession that
24Leichenkeller I was indeed a gas chamber and of the fact
25that it is clear that it was never intended for the
26gassing of corpses or other inanimate objects, or for use
In the light of Mr Irving's concession that
1as an air-raid shelter, the stark conclusion can only be
2this: It must have been used for gassing people, live
3people.

It goes without saying that Olere is also corroborated by other survivors like Henryk Tauber.
My favourite line on that CODOH thread is -
It should be obvious that Olere was given a tour of Auschwitz soon after the war, given plans of the crematoriums, given a list of details as they were claimed by the likes of Tauber and Nyiszli and kept abreast of all that was emerging as the Holocaust story was being developed. Olere was in effect the resident artist of the Bolshevik/Holocaust propaganda machine.
Well it goes without saying doesn't it!? And no-one should be expected to in any way prove such obvious facts. Did Killtown learn his style at CODOH?
Revisionists don't waste their time arguing if Hitler was right or wrong.
Would you like me to post some choice morsels from the IHR archive?
Zundel happily worked on the snappily titled
the Hitler we loved and why as he freely admits on his website -
Ernst Zundel was once involved in the publication of a book called The Hitler We Loved and Why, but Ernst Zundel was not the only German who loved Hitler and is probably not the only German who still loves Hitler. Millions of Germans loved Hitler, who for twelve years impacted on them as no German has or probably ever will, and, though they never say so, must, deep down still cherish his memory.

Do tell me how much you want me to dig up on deniers eulogising Hitler.
LOL, one of my favourites is the truly bloody awful
Judea declares war on Germany from Fredrick "nonsense even by denier standards" Toben of the Adelaide "we link to Jewwatch" Institute.. There's some slightly subtle stuff going on in that about how wonderful and efficient German engineering was back then.
The pioneer of Holocaust Revisionism was Paul Rassinier, a Frenchman who was imprisoned in two German concentration camps(Buchenwald and Dora). Rassinier was an anti-Nazi Resistance fighter. He was arrested in 1943 and tortured before being sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. After the war Rassinier read many blatantly untrue stories about Buchenwald. Former inmates claimed there had been a homicidal gas chamber in that camp, which Rassinier knew to be a lie as he had been in Buchenwald himself. In his largely autobiographical book - Le Mesonge D'Ulysse(1950) - Rassinier expressed the view that there had undoubtedly been gas chambers in some of the camps, but that the number of the victims had been grossly exaggerated. However in his 1964 book - Le Drame des Juifs Europeens - he branded the gas chamber extermination story "the most macabre lie of all times". He died in 1967.
Heh - Apart from the fact we know quite a bit about his experience and why he felt the way he did and that Rassinier moved more and more into blatant anti-semitism...
He is a concentration camp survivor and they are all liars. You have no hard evidence that one jot of what Rassinier said is true and are just relying on manifestly false eyewitness testimony. Where is your hard evidence for any of his claims?
David Cole and JG Burg were Jewish Revisionists.
And? Why is deniers feel the need to highlight it if anyone Jewish (though Cole at least is in no way religious) is sympathetic? It's like they like to have a 'token Jew' or two they can cite. Cole's comments were quite telling:
Q: Have you encountered any anti-semitism from the revisionists that
you have met around the world?
COLE: Have I encountered anti-Semitism from revisionists? That’s a
tricky one, because most of them are always on their best behavior when
I’m around. The ones, and there are many, who believe in wacky Jewish
conspiracy theories or the supremacy of the “white race” rarely let me in
on the joke because they know that I won’t share those views. I always
volunteer my views on such subjects as religion, race-mixing, conspiracy
theories, etc., just so there should be no confusion about where I stand
on those things. Plus my best friend, who is black, is REALLY imposing -
this is a BIG guy who, by his sheer size, doesn’t exactly encourage candor
>from white supremacists who might be in the same room. Anytime he’s
around, my revisionist pals are either silent or trying to say something
complimentary about black people (like “I really love that Marcus Garvey”
or “you people are such great Christians”). One time I was having dinner
with Mark Weber and his girlfriend. As we were coming out of the
restaurant, a trendy, expensive West L.A. eatery, Weber was talking
animatedly about some very “conservative” subjects. And who should come
walking up behind us, listening in, but the rapper Ice T, who, as many of
you would know, is as far left as Mark is far right. I managed to change
the subject before the situation could become dangerous. Still and all,
nowadays I wonder if I did the right thing. It’s not that I wish Mark any
harm, it’s just that, well, the image of a revisionist historian getting
clobbered by a famous rapper...well, as Beavis and/or Butt-head might say,
“that would be cool.”

I ran into McCalden and recognized him as the
discredited co-founder to the IHR, after two years of operation they
split between Willis Carto and David McCalden, and they remained bitter
enemies. I befriended McCalden and thought I'd get to know him, he;ll take
me back to his secret Nazi lair, and I'll see for my own eyes the
swastikas, and then I'll know these guys are charlatans. McCalden was a
racialist but was also sharp, knew that the future or Revisionism would
not lay in the hands of someone like Willis Carto who tends to enjoy
catering to a racist market. His market is far right borderline racialist.
McCalden saw a future for revisionism breaking out of its far right roots,
seprating out those who were revisionists because they were German
nationalists or wanted to knock the Jews, he wanted to move it more into
the historical mainstream. He didn't know I was a Jew, but I always felt I
came off talking and looking like a Jew anyway, so I told him I was and he
was reasonable. He gave me some literature.

Was Harry Elmer Barnes actually a Holocaust denier?
At any rate, it's a not a matter of if
all deniers are Nazis, it's a matter that there is a strong linkage. Answer me this -
Is it or is it not the case that the Holocaust is the greatest barrier to any rehabilitation of Nazism/fascism?
