The Curious case of Former Holocaust Denier Eric Hunt

  • Eric Hunt used to deny the Holocaust and created several videos where he outlined his views. Since then, he has realized that the Holocaust did occur, and has spoken out against the 'revisionists' and deniers. In this video, we're going to see what he said and why, in the hope that other deniers realize the error of their ways. (Thank you to Ted for asking today's question.)
    To the UA-cam censors: I'm NOT a Nazi, nor a Fascist, nor a Marxist, nor do I believe in any other evil totalitarian ideology. I'm defending the Holocaust, NOT denying it, even though I am talking about a Holocaust denier. The purpose of this video is to study history so that we can avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. If we deny history, it will repeat.

    ABOUT TIK 📝
    History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
    This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.

      damnit TIK i was hoping for something like "genocide wasn't a crime in 1939 but was in 1945" which is the case.
      people love to talk about the Armenians who got thrown under the bus as if it's evidence of other than the fact it wasn't a crime prior to 1945.

      Non-monetization isn't merely "let's not fund secret nazis" but also "let's try to get funds to the victims" (most all of whom are dead by now) but above all "how can google avoid paying out while convincing others it pays out" I don't know of any other video service which pays you to upload, it's economic competition as well as political factors. Doesn't mean it's right just explaining the objective facts.

    I kind of know what he went through. In my second year in the U.S., my English 102 professor encouraged me to dig into what happened in Tibet from 1949 to 1959 for my final project. That was the first time I researched and read through everything both sides had documented about that time. I came to realize both sides had added, deleted, exaggerated, or downplayed events to better fit their narratives. But at the same time, through comparisons, I was able to draw a rough picture of what happened during that 10 years. For me, it was a very confusing time. Imagine being 19 years old and all of a sudden finding out what I knew for the past 19 years may not necessarily be true. It took me another two years and numerous readings/classes to finally pull it through. It is interesting out of all the classes I took in undergrad, it was a couple politics, history, and one English writing class that really shaped who I was as a person.

      You actually get put in prison for questioning certain details about the H in most European countries, including some Eastern European countries like Russia, I believe. They put like an 80 year old grandmother in prison for asking questions about the H in Europe. They have no mercy. I'm pretty sure she died in prison. That doesn't make for a good debate tactic. It actually makes you think that they're afraid of debating the history and details that we're all taught about. Maybe because a lot of the details of it have been factually debunked... Btw, it's Mandatory for all schools to teach about this certain, horrible situation. At the same time ignoring way worse incidents that happened around the same time... not to mention the fact that they make a couple movies about it every year. The truth doesn't fear the light.

    I have to say that I used to be a Holocaust denier myself, precisely BECAUSE Holocaust denial is being punished by the law. Basically, the logic is, people in power hate the truth the most (which is true), and so if they have to BAN something, then said something must be true, right?
    Second reason was that, well, Holocaust never really made sense to me - until, that is, I watched your videos on Hitler's socialism. That is what finally convinced me that yes, Holocaust did happen.
    Thank you for that.
    EDIT: Also, the Left definitely does equate Germans with Nazis, and in fact equates white people with Nazis. Hence the Holocaust denialism - it is a defensive response to "you are evil for having been born".

The best argument/analogy against this technique I heard is that if I have a 1,000 piece jigsaw and I've got 950 pieces in the right place, but missing/put the last 50 pieces in the wrong place, I can still tell it's a picture of the Eiffel Tower and you pointing out these 50 wrong pieces doesn't mean you get to claim it's actually a jigsaw of Niagra Falls

    I want to applaud you for making this video. I have known for a while now that holocaust denialist arguments are rampantly spread on the internet and have even seen some of my friends become skeptical of the holocaust. I have for a while now desired to find well-crafted arguments for why many of their conclusions are wrong. I don't like to debate openly about these things since it's clearly accompanied by stigma and a lot of people simply want to silence people being skeptical through force (anti-hate speech laws; Antifa using intimidation etc.). I wrote an article on defusing dangerous thought through free discussion and I wanted to add some of these holocaust denial arguments. The way I wanted to do it is by explaining what made holocaust denials come to their conclusions and tell why it is wrong. I wasn't sure if I should do it because I'm still 21 and I was fearful of the repercussions if my article would've been taken out of context and I'd be punished for the misinterpretation of others while I'm still at arguably the beginning of my life. I'm glad you are doing this because you're doing what I desired to do as well and did it in a way that is more accessible than a student magazine. As long as their wrong conclusions don't get contested in intellectual debate they will freely spread on what is arguably "the black market" of intellectual thought. Thank you very much Tik, you're definitely one of the best channels on this platform.

      The nazis weren't nationalists though, they were racialists. You could live in germany, and you weren't considered part of the nation unless you were ethnically german. As well, germans in OTHER countries were considered part of the "nation" and the nazis even put out calls to ethnic germans in places like the US to "return to the fatherland". It's hard imo to even argue the national socialists were nationalists, since their ideology went beyond borders and was more important than the nation itself. The nazis cared more about you if you were a german living in a different nation than their own ethnic minority citizens, so I would say they weren't nationalists.

I don’t see enough time. Then there’s how does one fit 200,000 bodies in large pits? Do people not realise how deep they’d have to dig? We did in the USA (Yankees) buried confederate dead in trenches at up to 10,000 and they are LONG. my fear has always been that these camps are still cemeteries and loved ones are still there. We need to know for sure. Maybe it no longer matters. My guess is the numbers are slightly inflated and they used burn pits over crematories and trenches to bury their victims. We KNOW the Allie’s did this when they freed camps due to the amount of dead as we have pictures and testimony. We should always strive for truth and not forgot ALL those murdered.

    As much as I enjoyed the content and the information, I think the most illuminating aspect of this video is the absolutely cringe worthy (and no, I don't blame you for it), the scary amount of begging and pre-apologizing and disclaimer generating to even have this conversation. It's... absolutely disgusting. It's scary as hell. It's just damning as hell to our society as it stands (does it really stand any longer?) today. We are a fallen, enslaved society or at the very least on the verge of being one, if a historian is forced to go through the preamble you had to demonstrate, complete with doing voices... wow. Anyhow keep doing what you do it is most appreciated and I enjoy your videos and either learn from them or am driven to further investigation or both. But free speech is no longer a right.

      No kidding, this is a damning testiment of our society. I listened to a preamble before a Doris Day movie about how the movie was indicative of the sexism of the 1960's and the movie was only shown as a study of this. In 1720 a distant ancestor distinguished himself in battle and killed a nobleman who led an attempted coup in Lithuania. So I should tell all my family to hate this evil ancestor because he killed people in battle, I guess I should be personally shunned because I killed people in battle as well. I am so tired of revisionism in our society. Unfortunately Orwellian revisionism occurs throughout history, this is compelling proof as to why we need historians like Tik. Cheers from Canada.

      The internet is not real life and conflating this supposed "censorship" with reality is disingenuous.
      I don't know where you live but in America at least, Free Speech is still a Right. It's not been taken away and it's the same as it ever was. Just because one private corporation decides they want to get rid of certain content doesn't mean that the government is after you and you aren't guaranteed your First Amendment anymore. The government can't take away your free speech, you can still peaceably assemble and you can go on any myriad of other platforms to publicize your views.
      Not saying anything you want on a certain website is not enslavement and it's especially ironic how you're saying that on a video of this topic.

    Personally, I think Deniers are not so concerned with denying the Holocaust as they are with distracting us from other topics surrounding the Nazis. Every minute we spend proving the Holocaust happened, something only a very small minority genuinely don't believe, is a minute we are not addressing the misrepresentation of who the Nazis actually were politically and its consequences for social discourse today. In other words, the Holocaust being denied is arguably less important to address than the fact people don't know who the Nazis really were and are using them as analogues for modern political movements that are decidedly un-Nazi, thus promoting dangerous political movements that do share commonalities with the Nazis.
    By way of example, as noted by TIK, Nazis were socialists and authoritarians. They were not pro-Capitalist and definitely not libertarian, but due to decades now of letting mostly left-wing historians set the narrative that Nazism was the opposite of Marxist Socialism because Nazism saw Marxism as a primary opponent, people use the term Nazi today to describe libertarian movements when it should be obvious that is not the case. How can people who argue for less government, more personal freedom, and individual responsibility be associated with a political movement that demanded complete obedience to the State? Because kids read that the Nazis were "right wing extremists" in books written by left-wingers, libertarianism is considered right-wing by Socialist standards, and no one is making a serious effort to correct the misperceptions because socialists benefit from people not supporting libertarians because those people think the libertarians are nazis.

      The far more important thing that they’re distracting from is the massive and endemic murder of people in every single occupied territory. The belief that there is some conspiracy by lefties against the Nazis being socialists and the current idea of social Marxism are unacademic theories localised to this and a few other channels. Go into any school in the UK now and you will see history teachers showing that the communists and Nazis were similar. The national curriculum informally used by most schools has at least 1 lesson on the similarities. You’re chasing shadows

    Thank you TIK for informing me and allowing me to discuss topics with national socialists in a way that they believe that I half agree with them, while fervently telling them to drop their socialism because it doesnt work. Also, replying to the commenter at the start: its the nationalism that pointed to the target and the socialism (food shortage resulting from it) that made them pull the trigger. Genocide is always ideology + circumstance. You dont just go from hating to murdering without any reason.

      Except for the elephant in the room. As soon as they are done with their dominations and they have finished looting all their competitors within reach then their endpoint socialism fails from cannibalizing itself. They aren't that good at math. That is why it is taught from political "theory" (read: hypothesis) because it has no business in science.

      Himmler's Possen 1943 speech spells it out quite clearly when he addressed a serious question that must of been important enough issue within the ranks of the SS that it needed to be addressed as it's own bullet point in the speech. The children. Many within the SS seemed to view the children as innocent. Himmler in that speech addressed it as "these children will grow up hating us for what we have done. For this we will forever have to view them with distrust as they will grow up to be our new threat as they may never forgive us." Yes I paraphrased... as I don't remember it word for word, but he basically justified the murder of children providing rationale to other officers within the SS. The fact he brought it up means many had serious issues with what they were doing. Especially toward children.
      To me the 1943 Possen Speech was proof enough. However, it lets you know that they were still human with human concerns. Yet used horrible logic and inhuman rationale to justify what they were doing. You can understand why many of them became alcohol and drug addicts. It falls back to one of my favorite quotes. "Some of the worst things imaginable happened out of good intentions."

    All of the "Action Reinhardt" camps themselves were temporary and ad hoc. Treblinkas first Commondant wasn't very good at the job, that's why some were sent on to Majdinek and the other three. Treblinka actually had to stop "taking shipments" for a couple weeks while Franz Stangle got it in order. All of the "Reinhardt" camps were dismantled by the Germans themselves long before they would've been forced to by advancing Red Army units

    This video is amazing to me. I went down the 'denier' rabbit hole about 5 years ago before YT had any censorship - with an open mind and no agenda. It's a vast vast literature that would take years to digest but I only spent a couple of weeks on it. It's great to read Hunt's final take as he is obviously someone who's gone deeeeeep into it. The whole topic raises interesting questions about what should and shouldn't be censored. Your video is great support to those who argue that everything should be sayable and we hold it up to sunlight for debunking and analysis. On the other hand, I must admit I fear that many would be led by their own biases to see the 'evidence' they want to see rather be objective jurors. This is now a problem for Elon Musk to solve!
