Since old posts are no longer accessible, I will be posting the preface of Davies and Wheatcroft’s The Years of Hunger, a scholarly work by mainstream historians, in the comments. The full work is available on Sci-Hub, but it isn’t really about debunking the nazi’s holodomor narrative. It covers the Soviet famine of the 1930’s, the last in a long series of famines in that part of the world. The preface is the only part that is specifically dedicated to debunking, and the explanations for that are in the text of the preface. I found this work in an old post on here while debate-broing on Discord with a bunch of European liberals utterly convinced that Stalin had personally eaten all the grain with his giant spoon. Maybe this can help you when liberals try to label you a genocide denialist.

      the US was an exporter with relatively little subsistence production, at least not out by the dust bowl. so the plains crop failures weren’t not feeding americans so much as whoever was buying it—and with price collapses crops might not’ve been exported anyway. one could maybe relate it to international famines but that gets really tricky talking about logistics, purchasing power and foreign aid
