I don't deny there was a Holocaust, so it is immaterial whether or not
this speech offers any proof.

The revisionist posotion deals not with the Holocaust per se, but with
claims of mass extermination in Nazi gas chambers during the Holocaust.
Because Himmler's speech does not mention homicidal gas chambers, it
cannot be used as proof that the Nazis constructed and used homicidal
gas chambers.
