I saw it about two years ago. It was nothing short of fasinating.
It involved a maker of death chamber devices (gas and electric chair).He was using bogus science to actually try to prove that Holocaust victims were NOT gassed. In they end he couldn't understand why the scientific community disregarded his claims. It illustrates how a confused person can get wrapped up in a web of their own making. How they use their own faulty logic to explain events they don't truly comprehend.
I can't rememer the name of this infamous person or the name of this documentary--If anyone knows, please help me out on this one.
