Gavra: what, exactly, is an example of an “unbiased” source that discusses this issue?
I don’t know (since I don’t have a source).
Evidence: Records of conversations held regarding the matter. (such as L’Havdil the the Wannsee Conference). Documentation that something actually happened from a first hand source, and published in a respected journal (not in a “magazine” that can’t print anything that doesn’t toe the party line). A picture. Even a number of first hand biographies would be circumstantial evidence that there was some sort of official policy. Physical evidence.
Conjecture: Third hand sources (like R’ Rosenblum saying so in the Jerusalem Post instead of Mishpacha). Saying “everyone knows” or “The Gedolim said so”.
Biased: Health saying “it is the truth!” (or anything, due to his personality). Neturei Karta. Joseph. Ahmadinejad.
I think that sums it up, if I missed anything, I apologize.
Look, I’ve also been taught that it happened, and I THINK it may have. But Health saying so B’derech Pashut and his “proofs” just irk me (and I’m sure many others as well). It’s just not Yashrus.
