Not JUST gassing but worked to death, starved, shot... The Germans kept very detailed records. The Holocaust is one of the best documented 'events' in history.
It is a much rehearsed straw-man by neo-Nazis that you can find on their sites. The Holocaust denier or negationist distorts the opponents argument (6 million Jews have been gassed) for the purpose of more easily attacking it, levels the argument, and then concludes that the opponents real argument has been torn down. The fallacy lies in the fact that no historian of repute today has ever claimed that 6 million Jews have been gassed, but that the total amount of Jews killed, irrespective how they were killed, totalled around 6 million. It is child's play to spot this type of wilful misrepresentation.
