Witnesses
Although a claim cannot be evidence of its own truth, claims made by people asserting to have witnessed something in connection with the Holocaust are very often taken at face value by most people, if the claim supports the orthodox narrative. It is therefore very important to subject these claims to a thorough source criticism to verify their veracity. (See the entry on source criticism.)
This entry contains several lists — alphabetically organized by the claimed crime location or complex — with the names of witnesses who have testified about the given crime location or complex. Many of them are included in this encyclopedia with a critical assessment of their assertions.
For a list of false witnesses who never were at the claimed locations at the asserted time, see that entry.
