No excuse for the negationists of all flavors and nuances.
The Wannsee Conference for the "Final Solution of the Jewish Problem" (January 20, 1942) was not so secret that it didn't produce a document. In fact the super-efficient Adolf Eichmann, the SS high officer that was the top executive of the plan, in his zeal, had produced 30 numbered copies of the minutes of the meeting. Most were destroyed by the receivers on the list before the Allies could find them. Only one survives to this day, the no. 16. It was the copy destined for Martin Luther, Under Secretary and Foreign Office representative at the conference who, ironically was possibly one of the most fanatical Nazis, and only kept it so that he could use it against his boss, the Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.
The Plan for the "Final Solution of the Jewish Problem" was relative to an estimated number of 11 million Jews.
And think, dudes and dudettes, most of those Nazi officers and bureaucrats were "good family fathers" and "practicing christians" ...

It is a good point Miguel that many Nazi officers led double lives performing the most appalling acts of cruelty and then returning home to become gentle and devoted fathers.
However, his copy of the Wannsee Conference minutes was found by American investigators in 1946, so this isn't exactly a hot topic.
We could always get Jon Stewart's Time Machine.
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells.
For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gloaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught To hide in gems on hilt of sword. - J.R.R. Tolkien

Revelation can be above, never against Reason
“The everlasting God is a refuge, and underneath you are his eternal arms ...” (Deut 33:27) “Do you have an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?” (Job 40:9) “By the Lord’s word [dabar] the heavens were made; and by the breath [ruwach] of his mouth all their host.” (Psalm 33:6) “Who would have believed what we just heard? When was the arm of the Lord revealed through him?” (Isaiah 53:1) “Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” (John 12:38) “For not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.” (Romans 2:13) “Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.”(Romans 13:8)
