The evidence is weak is it ?
Nothing could be further from the truth. There was mountains of evidence. The Nazis were exceptionally thorough in documenting and quantifying their crimes.
This is a translation of a report from 1943, there are mountains of similar reports which detail the removal and destruction of millions of people.

REPORT 6 February 1943
on the realization of textile-salvage from the Jewish resettlement
up to the present date.
The enclosed statement gives an account of the quantity of old
garments from the Jewish resettlement, that has been sent from the
camps of Auschwitz and Lublin up to the present date. In this
connection special consideration must be given to the fact that the
delivery of rags is very high. As a result, the amount of usable
old garments, especially men's clothing, is naturally diminished.
It has therefore not been possible to satisfy the demand for men's
clothing to its full.
The transportation by rail proved to be especially difficult.
Through the continually recurring transportation stoppages, the
dispatch was held up with the resulting [sic] in temporary
accumulations in the individual camps.
The transportation hold-up to the Ukraine has been especially
noticeable since December 1942, and prevented the delivery of old
clothing intended for the racial Germans there....

825 train wagons full of clothes. I suppose these people decided to walk around naked.
