Searching for 'holocaust mass graves' turns up several results on the front page just of fairly recent discoveries, with locations etc. that you could try to verify. If archives are not open to the public then perhaps you should press for them to be put online for the sake of historical interest, or get in touch with a historian who could help to make this case.

It sounds like you're sincere and just trying to find high quality of evidence, but statements to the effect that 'there are no mass graves' seem to contradict established fact.

Apparently the mass graves were indeed a false quote I found, sorry about that. I was at times drawn into the discussion and started to look for some facts (especially on all the anti-revisionist web sites I was pointed to). But ultimately I ended up deciding that the subject is not important enough for me to invest the time. It would have to be a full time job, and I am not a historian.

I am sorry I mentioned the issue.
