In a 12-minute anti-anti-semitism rant (from 30:45 to 42:15), James says that if there is someone that laughs at a certain holocaust meme that he describes, then
- you don’t have to confront him according to Mt 18: go straight to the elders
- apparently, you don’t have to identify what law of God has been broken: it should be obvious
- church discipline should immediately ensue
- if it doesn’t, you are justified in leaving, because it is not even a church
So for James, affirming the Holocaust story, and doing so with a reverent visage, is literally part of the Gospel! Denying it is “obviously” a sin, and apparently an unforgiveable one since Mt. 18 needn’t be followed. (In fairness, he does issue a blanket warning “you need to repent” at one point. But the instructions on what to do if you have a Denier in your church bypasses that step.)
What gives James such confidence here? Answer: he “saw” the “medical facilities” at Sachsenhausen, Berlin, and he also saw the sign “Arbeit Macht Frei.”
(Spoiler alert: none of the concentration camps within Germany are still claimed to be death camps. The only ones still claimed were in eastern [Polish] territory. So no, you didn’t “see” anything at Sachsenhausen relevant to your claims.)
However, he does allow you to revise the “number” down to three million, from the sacred six (37:35).
The only thing is, James, numerous people have tried this and it didn’t work. The “6” is untouchable (except upward). Never mind that even holocaustian Raul Hilberg estimated the number at 5.1 million; I guess jewish math always rounds up or something. Rushdoony followed the estimations of Rassinier and cautioned against exaggerating the numbers in view of the 9th commandment; for this he was tagged as “incompetent, racist or mentally unhinged” by Carl Trueman. David Irving points out the absurdities of much of the Ausschwitz evidence, while admitting that crimes against Jews were committed: and for this he has been imprisoned, fined, and driven from respectable company everywhere. Many others could be listed, suffering persecution that reads like St Paul
in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea.
For our rulers, the Holocaust is indeed their gospel, the public denial of which leads to civil excommunication. That which is the truly divine is the thing that no one is ever permitted to attack, in any society.
So it seems like our ruling establishment and James White actually agree on the gospel!
In fairness, I suppose we should merely say that the gospel of James and of our rulers have identical implications.
So James should address how honest research is even possible in the dishonest environment in which we live; or rather, lament that it is not possible in such an environment. Never a word is spoken about this; nor is there any self-reflection as to how much his own Steven Spielberg-level “evidence” may have tainted his own thinking.
So no, I would caution all peasants of the world, if you value your person or property, not to revise the number down to 3 million, even though Dr. James White has given you permission to do so.

In both world wars, we have seen a vast barrage of false witness with respect to Germany. It won’t be necessary to go back to World War I. Since World War II, we have had the charge of six million Jews (supposedly) massacred. Now a French scholar, Poncins, in summarizing the studies of the French Socialist, Paul Rassinier, who was himself a prisoner in Buchenwald and wrote volume after volume, and they are incidentally, here in the UCLA library, in French, which exposed the myth of the six million. And Poncins summarizes it in these words: “Rassinier reached the conclusion that the number of Jews who died after deportation is approximates 1,200,000. And this figure, he tells us, has finally been accepted as valid by the Centre Mon de l’Homme de Documentation. Likewise, he notes, that Paul Hilberg in his study of the same problem reaches a total of 896,292 victims.” Now some of these Jews died as a result of epidemics because there were many epidemics prevalent among the people both prisoners and general population because of malnutrition. Others were executed.
