Former SS men about deniers
I guess they all must have been "tortured", by those evil German and British authors and filmmakers. There's no other explanation for this.
Oswald Kaduk
"[There are many people today who say that Auschwitz is a lie, no people were gassed?]"
"Well, I just want to say, the people who say this I don't consider as normal, you know. I mean, what happened, we should stay with the truth. These are just people, who deny this, but one cannot deny it, what happened, has happened."

Josef Klehr
"[There are people, who claim that no Jews were gassed in Auschwitz]"
"No Jews were gassed? Not? I was asked this too. There are some elder ladies who come to visit us [in prison]. This is such a charitable organisation. They want to support us, make us presents on birthday and so on. And I was asked by one of them, were people gassed in Auschwitz? I say, I will tell you openly and honestly, if they were not [gassed], then I would have said, I don't know. But because they were, then I will tell you exactly that people were gassed. What is true, has to remain true. And those who claim that no gassings, I don't understand if he is crazy or dishonest. I myself was – I cannot lie. If one was three, four years in Auschwitz and experienced everything, I am not able to lie and say that no gassings were carried out."

Josef Erber
"[Mr. Erber, there are people who claim there were no gassings in Auschwitz, what do say on this?]"
"I have to say the following: I had ordered the book 'Das Hexeneinmaleins einer Lüge'. It was about the 6 Million deaths. As they say. And among other things, I found it was written in the book that there were no death factories and so on and so forth, no crematoria and this. And so I wrote to the publisher and asked for the address of the author. After some time, they replied that the author is dead and they were interested, if I write to them about this. And I wrote to them in plain language that this is not true, that the crematoria existed and that they were dismantled during the camp evacuation or before, as the gassings were halted in October 1944. The iron parts were loaded on waggons and should have been sent to Mauthausen in Austria. This happened, I cannot understand, how you can claim today that this is not true etc. I cannot understand it."
"[Do you have an explanation for this?]"
"Well, either these people really do not know it better or they want to pull the wool over ones eyes. But what happened, cannot be denied anymore. It did happen, after all."

Dr. Hans Münch
"When someone says that Auschwitz is a lie, that it is a hoax, I feel hesitation to say much to him. I say, the facts are so firmly determined, that one cannot have any doubt at all, and I stop talking to that person because there is no use. One knows that anyone who clings to such things, which are published somewhere, is a malevolent person who has some personal interest to want to bury in silence things that cannot be buried in silence."

Oskar Gröning
[Narrator: "There are even those who deny the reality of what took place here. And it was to confront them that Oskar Gröning finally broke his silence about his own personal history."]share
"I see it as my task now at my age to face up to these things that I experienced and to oppose the Holocaust deniers who claim that Auschwitz never happened. And that is why I am here today. Because I want to tell those deniers: I have seen the crematoria, I have seen the burning pits, and I want you to believe me that these atrocities happened. I was there."
