Yes, Paul Rassinier did deny the existence of homicidal gas chambers used in the Holocaust as commonly described. He argued that the gas chambers at Auschwitz and other camps were not designed for the purpose of killing people with poison gas, but rather were used for delousing and disinfecting prisoner's clothing and belongings in order to prevent the spread of disease.
Rassinier's views on gas chambers have been widely criticized by scholars and experts, who argue that the evidence overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that gas chambers were used for mass extermination of Jews and other groups deemed "undesirable" by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
It's important to distinguish between legitimate historical debate and Holocaust denial, a pernicious and dangerous ideology that seeks to minimize or eradicate the memory of the genocide of six million Jews and millions of other minorities during World War II. While it's possible for historians to disagree on certain aspects of the Holocaust narrative, the overwhelming evidence of mass extermination by means of gas chambers is uncontested.
