The Definitive Source For News On Jews

Dear Patricia Cohen

In your article about Irène Némirovsky in the New York Times of April 25, “Assessing Jewish Identity of Author Killed by Nazis,” you say that Némirovsky was “killed” in Auschwitz rather than having died there of natural causes, such as the typhus plague that was raging at the time.

Was she shot or gassed, according to your information?

Sincerely, Michael Hoffman

From Patricia Cohen:

She died of typhus a month after arriving. Patti Cohen

Dear Patti

If she died of typhus, why did you write that she was “killed”?

Sincerely, Michael Hoffman

From Patricia Cohen:

I don’t consider dying in a concentration camp from typhus, untreated, as dying of “natural causes” as you put it in your email.

On Friday, 16 April 2010, Pope Benedict XVI’s 83rd birthday, the trial against Bishop Richard Williamson of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) took place at the Local Court Regensburg, Germany. All in all roughly forty journalists arrived as well as twenty-odd supporters of Williamson, who had to make do being seated in the back row of the absolutely packed court room. Among the supporters were Lady Michèle Renouf, Günter Deckert and Ursula Haverbeck, as well as many other well known faces. Sadly, there were no members, followers or supporters of the SSPX present that could be identified as such.

After the usual security checks, which for a change were handled in a rather civilized manner, the trial started at 9.00 a.m. sharp. The dramatis personæ were: Judge Karin Frahm, a fairly pretty blonde, twenty-nine years of age (!); Senior State Prosecutor Edgar Zach, a grey-haired gentleman probably in his late fifties; and Matthias Loßmann, the defense attorney for Bishop Wiliamson, a fellow possibly in his mid-forties whose air and appearance were eerily reminiscent of a gravedigger. The minor parts were played by an all-female cast: a stenographer, an interpreter for English, and another for Swedish. Her Honor was seated in front of a strange yellowish backdrop, the kind familiar from modern Wagner productions. Seating and legroom were satisfactory, the acoustics excellent.

The proceedings began with an explanation by Herr Loßmann that Williamson would not be appearing since the SSPX had forbidden him from doing so. Next it was recorded that not one of the three Swedish witnesses had turned up, and that they had neither excused themselves nor given any reason for their absence. Herr Zach then began reading out the indictment. The contents were comprised of the usual stuff familiar to all: Williamson has denied and belittled the Holocaust, has done so aware of the fact that such heresy is a grievous violation of modern dogma, has furthermore committed this heinous act intentionally in a manner suited to disturb the public peace, and must therefore be dealt with accordingly. To his credit it must be said that the Prosecutor, Herr Zach, was calm, collected, read the indictment without any aggressive or hateful undertone, and made a generally polite impression.

In the scene that followed, Defense Attorney Herr Loßmann gave a fairly detailed account of what had transpired and how the various events had come about. The judge asked many a probing question, of which a few were simply superfluous. Some questions Herr Loßmann was unable to answer. But a great deal of these gaps were filled in later during an exciting scene in which  Loßmann’s witness, Maximilian Krah, the lawyer for the SSPX…took the stand.

All in all Herr Loßmann left a rather dubious impression: his account was repetitive, unstructured, and his idiom sloppy and unbefitting of his role.

Here now a summary of a few lesser scenes, in no particular order: The court ordered a viewing of the infamous final five minutes of an originally hour long interview, the very five minutes that got Bishop Williamson into this mess. Then the matter of the absent witnesses was taken up again: two documents were read out, one by the legal department of the Swedish television station SVT1 which stated that they would not help the court due to lack of trust in the German legal system, and the other by the Swedish Ministry of Justice, who wrote that they would not be rendering the court mutual judicial assistance since freedom of speech is guaranteed in Sweden but not so in Germany.

Furthermore, an article from a Swedish magazine, which had no real bearing on the case, was translated off the cuff fluently into high quality German… Plus, a segment of a German television program showing the interviewer of Williamson (Name: Ali Fagan; status: absent witness) made the comment that he would gladly stand as a witness in a German court of law, etc., etc. Another delightful scene starred the interpreter for English. Asked by Judge Frahm whether she could translate a letter extemporaneously or whether she needed time to prepare, this lady requested and was granted “five minutes,” whereupon she ambled over to her Swedish speaking colleague, chatted with her for fifteen minutes, went back to her seat and translated the text in one go. It was surreal. All these and the following scenes were interrupted by “five minute recesses” that were fifteen minutes long each. The trial lacked any real coherence, haphazardly jumping from one matter to the next, not even the many “five minute recesses” being synchronised to the action on stage. The only thing that kept everything together, were the endless, totally superfluous repetitions.

A real highlight was the act in which Herr Krah, whom we first encountered two paragraphs ago, was called as a witness for the defense. As lawyer for the SSPX, Herr Krah had a great deal of knowledge as to what had transpired having witnessed the events unfurl himself. Of this he gave an informative account. In answer to the judge’s questions, he drew a detailed picture of Williamson’s standard of living, describing not only his home but also which tube (subway train) to take in order to get there.

He then told of Williamson’s position within the fraternity, that the bishop wields little or no power in the SSPX, and that Richard Williamson is considered and considers himself “an eccentric Englishman”. Herr Krah went on to speak of the Bishop’s personality, characterising him as refined, polite, erudite, well-spoken, and an excellent teacher. He then informed the court that if the bishop questions the “Holocaust” he does so only because he is utterly convinced that his opinion represents the truth. The bishop, so he said, is absolutely bound to truthfulness and would never lie. As such Williamson is certainly convinced of what he had stated in that interview. The problem, according to Herr Krah, is that Williamson’s ability to perceive the truth is seriously impaired (“ein nachhaltig gestörtes Erkenntnisvermögen”).

As an example of this condition Herr Krah told the court that Bishop Williamson does not believe in the 9/11 story, and on having been asked by the judge continued by explaining to the court all about how some, if not many people doubt the veracity of the official 9/11 account. To summarise, Herr Krah…gave a heap of information…including details likely to harm the bishop….

Let us now turn to the final act of this tragicomedy. In the first scene Herr Zach gave his closing arguments. He stated that Bishop Williamson had known exactly what he was saying, knew full well that this is against the law in Germany, was counting on the fact that this interview would be made public, and that the bishop had by these means hoped to spread his twisted views on the “Holocaust.” Considering the fact that Williamson had done this intentionally, a fair sentence would be a fine of 12.000 Euros (i.e. $16,000).

Now it was time for the summation of the defense. Herr Loßmann proceeded to recapitulate the entire story as it had slowly unravelled before our eyes through a profusion of irrelevant repetitions, tedious tangents, and futile five-minute recesses. In short: On occasion of the ordination of a Swedish deacon who had converted from Protestantism not merely to Catholicism, but to one of its most traditional branches (which caused a stir in Sweden), a Swedish camera crew went to Zaitzkofen, near Regensburg, and asked the ordaining bishop, Richard Williamson, for an interview which he granted them. They spoke about religious matters for over fifty minutes, and then, once they had gained the bishop’s trust, suddenly asked him about a comment he had made about the “Holocaust” twenty years ago in Canada. The interviewer, Ali Fagan, described this question as “a shot from the hip”, and the evidence clearly showed that the interviewer had deliberately set a trap for the bishop. After Williamson had answered the question in depth, he pointed out to the interviewer that such comments are illegal in Germany and asked him not to publicze them.

The Swedish television station STV1 then approached the leading German magazine Der Spiegel with this story, which the Spiegel proceeded to publish three days before the interview was to be aired on Swedish television. As soon as the SSPX had gotten wind of this they had their lawyer, Herr Krah, get in touch with Williamson, the latter asking that the interview not be broadcast, something that was realistically not going to happen, and insisting that this interview not be made available over the internet.

When Matthias Krah contacted Bishop Williamson, he was immediately aware of the gravity of the situation saying something along the lines of “typical journalists, you can’t trust them.” STV1 nonetheless made the final five minutes of the interview available on their website, from where it was downloaded onto YouTube and went viral. By itself this was all fairly inconsequential, for who had ever heard of the SSPX, or Bishop Richard Williamson for that matter? Unfortunately, however, this was exactly the moment the Vatican welcomed the SSPX back into the fold of the Church, and to the viciously anti-ecclesiastical, i.e. Zionist, press, the idea of a “Holocaust” heretic having his excommunication revoked must have been… (highly offensive). As such the matter was blown out of all proportion, causing desired damage to the Church. All this, Loßmann argued, was not the bishop’s fault. In fact Williamson is simply a victim of foul play, and must therefore be acquitted.

The court took a thirty minute recess, during which Her Honor decided on the verdict, the grounds for which were eight pages long. The court reconvened at 3.00 p.m. for the final scene, and Judge Frahm read out the verdict: guilty, fine: 10.000 Euros, i.e. $13,500. She gave the following reasons for the verdict: Williamson had denied the “Holocaust,” and though he may be convinced that it had not taken place, this is irrelevant since history has shown the “Holocaust” to have taken place, and furthermore even the highest courts have knowledge of this subject. Richard Williamson was also aware of the fact that his opinion would reach the public, but had nonetheless continued to express it. His crime was therefore a deliberate action. The fact that the interview had gone viral on YouTube was ignored since this was certainly not the bishop’s fault and went against his express wish.

However, §130 Penal Code stipulates that “incitement of the People” (Volksverhetzung) is only established if the crime is perpetrated publicly and is intended to disturb the public peace. However, nowhere does the law stipulate that the public in question must be German! By having the interview broadcast in Sweden, millions of Swedes could see it. Ergo, these masses of people could then, feasibly, contact their friends and relatives in Germany and thus supposedly endanger the German public peace. Therefore, the bishop was found guilty and fined 10,000 Euros – and that’s the end of that.

…The defense counsel defended neither his client nor truth but merely the SSPX….

(AP) – April 15, 2010 – BERLIN — A lawyer says an ultraconservative British bishop has been silenced by his Catholic order before a court hearing regarding a denial of the Holocaust.

Matthias Lossmann told The Associated Press that his client, Bishop Richard Williamson, who resides in England, has been told not appear at the Regensburg court for Friday’s hearing and to refrain from interviews and Internet activities.

Lossmann said a letter on behalf of the Switzerland-based general secretary of the Society of St. Pius X, Christian Thouvenot, advises the bishop to shut down his blog and his Web site.

Friday’s hearing regards Williamson’s appeal of a fine he was given by a German court in 2009 for incitement, in connection with an interview with Swedish TV in 2008 during which he questioned that Jews died during the Holocaust. (End quote)

HOFFMAN’S COMMENT: Bishop Williamson has no web site, just a blog which is available only by e-mail subscription. He had no intention of attending the show trial in Regensburg, so one must wonder what is the point of the claim that his order, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), has banned him from doing so. He has also been under a gag order from the SSPX for some time.

Several months ago Bishop Williamson was offered a deal by the German prosecutor for avoiding prison — if he would apologize to the Zionist community and pay a large fine. He refused both demands.

Speaking for myself and not Bishop Williamson, I observe that while he is housed and fed at the SSPX house in London and treated decently by the priests with whom he resides, he has been almost completely abandoned by his fellow bishops and priests worldwide, who will not even offer public prayers on his behalf. In last Sunday’s bulletin of the SSPX chapel in northern Idaho there was an appeal for prayers for Pope Benedict XVI who, it was said, was under “media attack.” Needless to say, there was no appeal for prayers for Williamson. Such cold-hearted mercilessness is purely rabbinic in spirit.

Despite denials by the hierarchy of the SSPX, it is rather easy to see that the false religion of Holocaustianity has infiltrated its ranks just as it has infiltrated the Vatican. Bishop Williamson would not be in any hot water with the Catholic Church if he had denied that Mohammed had flown to heaven from Al Quds, or doubted that Mormon founder Joseph Smith found the golden plates on Hill Cumorah. Williamson has been made a leper for casting doubt on a doctrine which both the Vatican and the SSPX hold sacred, the new creed of Holocaustianity.

What is sacred both to modern Catholicism and the “traditional Catholic” SSPX is the gas chamber idol of Auschwitz, about which Pope Pius XII, in the whole of his long reign as pontiff, expressed not one single word, most likely because he knew, through Vatican intelligence, that the Germans did not operate any such monstrosity.

Meanwhile the allegedly “traditional” SSPX has adopted the Auschwitz idol of Newchurch and proclaimed it a horrifying, if not unforgivable sin, for Williamson to blaspheme this holy gas chamber relic of Holocaustianity.

Bishop Williamson’s statements about execution gas chambers can only be a grave transgression in the moral and spiritual realm if the SSPX believes in Holocaustianity which, patently, they do, since they are persecuting their own bishop for having doubted it.

Here we witness a startling transformation in the priestly fraternity founded by the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, akin to the astonishing alchemical spectacle of witnessing Pope John Paul II enter a synagogue and encourage the assembled Pharisees to continue in their Talmudic faith, an accursed act of betrayal which his successor has repeated three times (Matthew 26:34) in less than five years.

The ancient occult mandate for the alchemical processing of the Church is being fulfilled on schedule, before our very eyes, both within the Vatican and within its one-time traditional opposition, where doubting the lies about gas chamber extermination in Auschwitz is now a mortal sin and a cause for the public humiliation, silencing and exile of one of the bishops Msgr. Lefebvre consecrated.

For this reason alone, Richard Williamson has been expelled as seminary rector, abandoned in all but the necessities of life, and prosecuted in Germany, for the greater glory of the abominable Auschwitz idol which has replaced Calvary as the most sacred suffering in all of history. Bishop Williamson is a martyr to the defense of Our Lord’s Passion and Crucifixion against its substitution by the Auschwitz shoah-business. God help all those who have failed to lift even a finger in his defense.

Let is be noted for the record, that by an act of God, today the air space over Britain has been closed, so that even if Bishop Williamson submitted to the order from the German inquisitor, he could not comply.

Before David Irving’s failed libel case against author Deborah Lipstadt a decade ago – she accused him of Holocaust denial – Raul Hilberg, Holocaust scholar and author of The Destruction of the European Jews, was asked by DD Guttenplan why the arithmetic of mass murder remains so important.

“There is,” said Hilberg, “if you don’t want to surrender to nihilism entirely, the matter of a record. Does the record matter? In my judgment it is not discussable, it is not arguable.”

I mention Hilberg because of the final unravelling of another of Irving’s poisonous “facts”: the claim in Irving’s 1963 book The Destruction of Dresden that 135,000 people died in the firebombing of the German city.

In truth, Irving’s Dresden numbers have long been under assault. They were challenged at the Lipstadt trial by the historian Richard Evans, who later accused Irving of “consistent” and “deliberate” falsification. Other historians have concluded over the years that the death toll was much lower.

Now, in what seems likely to be the last word on the matter, a German historical commission set up to examine the precise numbers of those who died has reported. After five years’ work it has established that the toll was around 25,000… a shocking number, but – without diminishing the scale of the death – of quite a different order.

Why this matters so long after the event is not simply because it undermines those on the far right who seek to establish a moral equality between the crimes of Nazi Germany and “Allied crimes”, but also because of Hilberg’s wider point over the “sanctity of facts”. Because the numbers really do matter.

Holocaust deniers like to play with the numbers. Those who seek to deny the genocidal massacre at Srebrenica during the Bosnian war also seek to diminish both the absolute total or redefine the nature of those killed to combatants from civilian men and boys. A similar process has been attempted over Rwandan genocide. And the number who died during the war in Iraq has been one of the fiercest areas of contention. Indeed, it remains disgraceful that we have no accurate count of Iraqi casualties, while we have recorded every dead and injured US and British soldier.

And why this matters is because an accurate accounting – whether of the deaths in Darfur, Dresden or Dachau – supplies real meaning to the narrative of memory and history. It allows us to accurately define events; make comparative judgments both morally and politically, to understand the intention behind acts and the weight of suffering.

None of which means that Dresden was not a terrible act in a terrible war. It does not even mean that it was not a crime, although that remains the subject of continuing historical dispute. But if it was a crime, it was one on a far smaller scale than claimed by the likes of Irving. The truth, to paraphrase, will always set us free.

We are pleased to announce a very fine response to our “On the Contrary” opinion poll on Ernst Zundel.

A total of 824 persons voted in the course of four days. An overwhelming majority voted in support of Ernst.

That’s nearly eight hundred votes in the space of just few days, with no publicity other than what we ourselves generated in “The Hoffman Wire” (our e-mail service that transmits our columns via electronic mail*), at our website and on this, our “On the Contrary” blog, where the poll was conducted.

Other than a couple of Hoffman Wire readers who spread the word via private e-mail, the poll was not publicized by any other group, and yet with our limited resources almost 800 people took the time to visit our blog and vote to show their support for Mr. Zundel. If our poll is any representative sample of worldwide sentiment, then Ernst Zundel has not only not been forgotten, he is lionized.

We thank everyone who participated. I would like to take this opportunity to announce that we are seeking to raise the funds needed to reprint my long out of print 1985 book, The Great Holocaust Trial, about the first of the two show trials the government of Canada prosecuted against Ernst, both of which he won on appeal. Naturally I am biased in favor of the first trial because I reported it from the press gallery and it is one of the few instances on record of “Holocaust survivors” and “homicidal gas chamber eyewitnesses” being cross-examined by a defense attorney – and not just any attorney – rather by the skilled and relentless Doug Christie, backed by the brilliant research of revisionist historian Dr. Robert Faurisson.

The last resort of every Auschwitz execution gas chamber zealot is the familiar shibboleth, “We have eyewitnesses!” This is supposed to represent the final coffin in the nail of revisionist doubts. Alas, poor mythomaniacs, you can never be the same after what the Zundel defense team did to you 25 years ago, from January through March, 1985. As G.K. Chesterton observed, “A lie is only young once,” which makes the Auschwitz execution gas chamber lie as old as sin.

In the course of the Great Holocaust Trial, the testimony of the key witness of the famous War Refugee Board, Rudolf Vrba, was shredded, along with that of former Auschwitz inmate Arnold Friedman and others. Famed holohoax historian Prof. Raul Hilberg was left a pile of quivering jello as he replied, when asked by Mr. Christie to furnish even one scientific report proving mass murder by gassings, “I’m at a loss.”

Bringing The Great Holocaust Trial book back into print on the 25th anniversary of the trial and in the year Mr. Zundel valiantly emerged from his German-Zionist dungeon – with his head high and a smiling countenance – will be a resounding refutation of the notion of foolish advocates of tyranny, that revisionism is in retreat.

Revisionism is fueled and strengthened by heroism in the face of enormous odds and martyrdom in the face of demands to recant and capitulate. Ernst was not killed by the fanatic partisans of the cult of Holocaustianity, but many a lesser man’s mind and spirit would have been broken by the years in prison, including two in solitary confinement in a Canadian dungeon. Seven years of his life were lost, and for what offense? The “crime” of daring to doubt an edifice that cannot endure doubts. Truth does not require dungeons to protect its credibility, only a lie so immense.

Congratulations to you, Ernst Zundel. Almost 800 percipients of our little Internet presence, 96% of all who responded, have rightly declared you a hero and a martyr to the cause of Freedom of Speech. How many opinion polls achieve such unanimity? It is almost unheard of.

The French writer Louis-Ferdinand Celine said, “The elite are an example or they are nothing.”

Zundel is an example!

A critic has made a negative remark about the photograph of Auschwitz gas chamber skeptic Ernst Zundel (above, on the right), and his attorney, Dr. Herbert Schaller, taken on March 1, moments after Zundel emerged from Mannheim prison for the first time in five years.

We believe it is a beautiful photo, a truly heart warming picture. It is evidence, by way of a photograph, that Ernst will not bow to adversity, he will not whine, he will not show pain, but rather, in his smiling countenance one sees the joy of life. This is a testimony to his spirit, after seven years’ incarceration, including two in solitary confinement in Canada. Let us also not forget that as a child he survived the Allied firebombing holocaust against his hometown of Pforzheim; consequently, on top of it all, he is a holocaust survivor. I have seen a similar serenity and nobility in Japanese survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki holocausts.

This is a stunning contrast to the behavior and attitudes of many (though not all) of those poster soul-survivors of the Auschwitz slave labor camp, who, more than sixty years later, still pose with long faces, perpetually moaning, groaning, wailing, hectoring, spewing hatred and pointing fingers of accusation, while churning out a deluge of newspaper and magazine articles, books, novels, television shows and films constituting a new level of institutionalized vengeance, which has been weaved into the very fabric of the post-Christian West.

I say post-Christian, but we are even heedless of William Shakespeare. Surely Portia’s famous speech to Shylock in “The Merchant of Venice” (Act 4, scene 1), is now discredited by the mandarins of mediocrity. Yet, in Portia’s words we have our culture’s most eloquent reply to the perpetual Purim cry for vengeance under the rubric of justice. Here Shakespeare, as usual, put his finger on the heart of the matter: the vast chasm separating Judaism from the ante-Auschwitz West is their enshrinement of revenge and our obligation to mercy.

Zundel’s merciless persecutors have learned nothing from history. In their hubris, in their certainty that they will prevail and control and edit the future, they believe they can demonize, imprison and torment prisoners of conscience with impunity. The Romans imagined this about the early Christians, the French Catholics about the Huguenot, the German Lutherans about the Anabaptists, the New England Puritans about the Quakers, the Anglicans about their recusant Catholic countrymen, and the Soviets about the Eastern Orthodox. Yet, in each case history teaches that in time, the severely oppressed dissidents emerged stronger than ever.

This too is the destiny of World War II revisionists, though today, in the midst of intense persecution and witch-hunting, it is a future difficult for many to envision. In this sense, Ernst Zundel, even at age 70, is not a man of the past, but of the future.

The story is that Rachel’s mother, brother, and two sisters were immediately gassed upon arriving at Auschwitz.

Then one day Mengele payed her a visit and picked her for the gas chamber.

But the gas chamber was right next to the kitchen, so Rachel managed to sneak behind some people carrying soup and escape.

The Germans then apparantly just forgot to gas Rachel.

It was a miracle.

Rachel did not speak of her tale for 50 years. Now she tells her story to youngsters in England.

Holocaust survivor Rachel Levi tells Brindishe School pupils, about her harrowing experiences in Auschwitz LC6494

The nightmares never go away

News Shopper
Sunday 21st January 2007
By Louise Tweddell

THE Holocaust may be history but as the annual remembrance day approaches, mental wounds remain open for one survivor.

BEFORE German and Hungarian forces invaded Czechoslovakia in March 1939, life was idyllic for Rachel Levy, her parents and four siblings.

The Orthodox Jewish family, whose village nestled in the Carpathan Mountains, had little idea of the trauma to come.

Restrictions were imposed on Jewish families. Schooling and property ownership was banned.

In 1942, Rachel’s father Solomon, then aged 40, was torn from the family and sent to work for the occupying forces.

Two years later Rachel – who now lives in Bromley – was captured along with her mother Shlima, aged 37, her elder brother Chaskel, 16, younger brother Ben-Zvi, three, and two younger sisters, Eta, eight and Rivka, 10.

With 100 other Jewish villagers they were herded on to trains destined for the infamous Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland.

Calmly recalling events leading to her capture, the grandmother-of-two, who was 14 at the time, said: “Our neighbours had been hiding us in the woodland but they were threatened with execution and forced to give us up.

“The troops were terrifying. We were crammed into trucks with no food, drink or sanitation.

“When we got off the train, the Gestapo officers were waiting.

“They separated children and older women and my older brother was taken to the men’s camp.

“It was the last time I ever saw my mother, sisters and younger brother.

“They were taken straight to the gas chambers. I was totally alone.”

Now 76, the mother-of-two added: “It’s still painful and fresh in my mind after all these years.

“I was just bewildered. I didn’t know what was going on.”

During her imprisonment, Rachel was visited by the ‘Angel of Death’, Dr Josef Mengele, who chose which people would be sent to the gas chambers, and which would be sent to work.

Rachel said: “He picked me (for the gas chamber).

“I was numb and then I was outside the chamber knowing it would end beyond the gates.

“It was next to the camp’s kitchen and I managed to get behind people carrying soup and escaped back to camp.”

There was little to do in camp and Rachel added: “We talked about food mainly, because we were so hungry.”

In January 1945, the Soviet Army forced the Germans to retreat from Poland, so Auschwitz was cleared and prisoners were marched to Belsen, Germany.

Rachel said: “We marched for 21 days without food and we scavenged the fields for things to eat.

“People died on the way. Some were shot for not keeping up and others could not continue.

“When we reached the camp, it was the worst thing I’ve seen.”

At Belsen, Rachel found her mother’s younger sister, also called Rachel, but she was severely ill.

She remembered: “We were lying on the floor covered in lice and picking them off our skin.

“There were dead bodies all over the ground. Nobody was buried, they just threw the new bodies on top of the old ones.”

A devastated Rachel watched as her aunt was added to the piles a few days after their reunion.

In April 1945, the British Army liberated Belsen and eventually Rachel was taken to Prague, then Bratislava, where she finally found some reason for hope.

She said: “One day I heard footsteps and sat up in bed and my brother came in.

“I was stunned; it was such a special moment.”

With the help of the Central British Fund for World Jewish Relief, Rachel and Chaskel were among 700 youngsters flown to the UK.

The pair were taken to Belfast in February 1946 and shortly afterwards moved to south London.

Rachel, who married Phin, a Jew from Brixton, in 1953, trained as a dressmaker and worked in London’s West End.

Chaskel trained as an accountant and became director of a financial company before he died of tuberculosis in 1976, aged 48.

Rachel never discovered what happened to her father.

As part of Holocaust Memorial Day next Saturday, Rachel has told her story to youngsters from Brindishe Primary School, Wantage Road, Lee Green.

The pupils will perform a drama about her life next Sunday at The Broadway Theatre, Catford Broadway, Catford.

Children from Lewisham schools including John Stainer, Ashmead, Fairlawn and Rushey Green will also perform.

Rachel did not speak of her experience for almost 50 years and said: “The nightmares don’t go away, but they lessen slightly.

“There are so few of us left to talk about it and it’s important people know what happened.”

A memorial service will be held next Saturday at Catford Synagogue, Crantock Road, Catford, between noon and 1pm.

For tickets to the theatre performance, call 020 8690 0002.

Tickets to the memorial service are free. Call 020 8314 8636.

It seems it’s that time of year again for us all to bow our heads and remember the poor jews who died in their fake holocaust. Did I say fake already? I swear I can’t get the word holocaust out without the word “fake” in front of it. Considering holocaust has become synonymous with the faked deaths of 6 million jews in Germany during WWII, I can’t help but utter fake before I say holocaust.  Regardless of all the propaganda from Hollywood and the jew owned media, I don’t think many people buy their bullshit anymore.

What is the really sad part about this picture? These rats were later released from the camps, and now they prey on you and your children.

So now it is time for us to remember the poor jews who were torched in ovens (never happened), gassed with diesel engines (not scientifically possible), fed to German dogs (also never happened), had their babies used as skeet targets by Nazi officers (fable), and even had their naked asses spanked out in the open by Nazi soldiers (sick jew fantasy).

There are so many horrendous (read: untrue) stories that go with the fake jew holocaust it’s not funny. If you’ve read this article of mine, then you will know that I am NOT a holocaust denier. I can’t deny the holocaust of millions of non-jewish peoples at the hands of the jew. Nothing I do will change the fact that the deaths of these untold millions came at the hands of jews, while the fable of six million jews killed by Germans just can’t be scientifically, statistically, or factually proven.

Just a few days ago, this story popped up on the radar, and I guess I hadn’t been paying attention, because I didn’t realize it was close to the anniversary of the holocaust. While I’m saying “the holocaust”, why is it the faked deaths of six million jews is THE holocaust? What exactly is a holocaust anyway? According to wikipedia:

A holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire. The word derives from the Ancient Greek holocaustos (ὁλόκαυστος = ὁλον [wholly] + καυστος burnt), which is used solely for one of the major forms of sacrifice. When the Tanakh was translated into Greek, the translators used the term for a similar ritual among the Jews.

Jewish sacrifice

A “whole offering” (Hebrew: olah‎), or “burnt offering”, is a type of Biblical sacrifice, specifically an animal sacrifice in which the entire sacrifice is completely burnt, consumed totally by fire.

So, a holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice, and it’s origins stem from the Greek word for burnt. A holocaust is a burnt offering of animal flesh, but if it’s a burnt offering, and no jews went in the ovens, who was being sacrificed? Maybe the reason they call it “holocaust” is in relation to the burnt offering of hundreds of thousands of Germans in Hamburg (50,000 civilians burnt to death by allied bombs)?

This is a view of Dresden from the air. The entire city is on fire, and in this view you are watching 250,000 people go up in flames with it. This is what a real burnt offering looks like.

Or maybe it’s the holocaust of civilian non-jews in Dresden where 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices were dropped on the city, incinerating as many as 250,000 people and leveling nearly 15 square miles? Look at the number of people within one or two city blocks surrounding yourself and then imagine fifteen square miles of that leveled by carpet bombing the area for almost 3 days.  That was one hell of a burnt offering if I ever saw one, and one called down upon the innocent civilian populations by the jews.

Certainly toasting 90,000–166,000 people in one bright flash could qualify as a holocaust, or burnt offering, right? That was just Hiroshima alone, bombed by jew made nuclear weapons on the orders of our then jew president.  Nagasaki was another 60-80,000 people who went up in a burst of fire and light at the hands of the jews. The jews murder and torch people by the thousands and even millions so frequently, it really makes one wonder how insatiable their appetite for burnt offerings and blood sacrifice is.

Look closely at this little skeeze, because this is what the enemy looks like when it's playing benevolent victim. Don't be fooled because that innocent smile hides the fangs of a blood thirsty vampire.

Anyway, it appears someone actually paid attention while reading through jew propaganda, and found that “The Diary of a Young Girl: the Definitive Edition”, the story of Anne Frank(enstein) was full of explicit material and homosexual themes. One parent complained, and instantly the story was national news, because we know Anne Frankenstein’s diary is an important peg in the whole 6 million dead jews holocaust hoax.

Anyone familiar with the jews will know that they can’t ever seem to keep their lust for playing with feces, children as sex toys, and homosexual activity out of anything they produce.  No doubt this parent was justified in complaining, but all the excitement over it makes the whole event questionable. It’s just another obvious sign the jews are worried our children won’t get their holocaust indoctrination at an early enough age. Throw in the fact that the writing is full of smut and homosexuality, and this is something jews will fight tooth and nail to keep on the curriculum for eighth graders.

The diary documents the daily life of a Jewish girl in Amsterdam during World War II. Frank started writing on her 13th birthday, shortly before her family went into hiding in an annex of an office building. The version of the diary in question includes passages previously excluded from the widely read original edition, first published in Dutch in 1947. That book was arranged by her father, the only survivor in her immediate family. Some of the extra passages detail her emerging sexual desires; others include unflattering descriptions of her mother and other people living together.

Allen said that the more recent version will remain in the school library and that the earlier version will be used in classes. The 1955 play based on Frank’s experiences also has been a part of the eighth-grade curriculum for many years. The diary’s “universal theme, that there is good in everyone, resonates with these kids,” Allen said.

The universal theme of the diary is that poor jews suffered, and we should feel sorry for these eternal victims, but who feels sorry for these blood thirsty demons playing the helpless victim? Fuck the jews and their pity party. This fool lies like hell when he tries to tell us “there is good in everyone”, because after thousands of years, hundreds of exiles, and hundreds of millions of people sacrificed in burnt offerings by the jew, it’s obvious there is nothing good in any of them.

Nagasaki, Japan lay smouldering in the wake of the jews atomic weapons. Tens of thousands totally consumed by fire in an instant certainly qualifies as a "burnt offering".

The persistent failure of the jews to even attempt to prove otherwise, for millennium after millennium, means only a fool would give them the chance to ante up now. Even the situation in Haiti could have been a good opportunity for jews of today to prove they were somehow different or better than all the jews of history, but they can not resist exploiting suffering. Instead of bringing real aid, these creatures pounce on the poor and devastated people of Haiti, with the taste of blood and thoughts of free organs and child sex slaves, like vultures pecking at a fresh road kill.

As it turns out, the complaint wasn’t enough, because the full work of Anne Frank’s fabricated homosexual perversion has already been reinstated, but it was never physically removed either. This story has the kind of timing and effect that every annual holohoax fable has. Look at the ruckus this little fiasco caused, and ask yourself why everyone is in such an uproar.

Director of instruction James Allen last week told The Washington Post that the definitive edition of the diary would not be used in the future and that the decision was made quickly, without adhering to a formal review policy for instructional materials that prompt complaints. The remarks set off a hailstorm of criticism online and brought international attention to the 7,600-student school system in rural Virginia.

All this did was stir up feelings of poor persecuted jews, while they rape you to death from every angle, just in time for holocaust remembrance day. It should disgust you so much it turns your stomach that these vile creatures continue playing victim, while standing a top heaps of hundreds of millions murdered in their wake. Only pure evil would present itself as the timid, fearful, and persecuted with it’s fangs and talons still dripping wet in blood.

If you want to believe in the fake jew holocaust, you need to believe in Nazis shrinking jew heads, making soap out of jew fat, and making lampshades from their skin. The jews should be fed to dogs for making up such stories, but they already came up with that one too.

As if the usual chicanery wasn’t enough. As if the stories of shrunken heads, and jews removing gold teeth from their dead relatives wasn’t sick enough, especially with the knowledge that it never happened, it seems a jew has actually made a mock up of Auschwitz with gold teeth from dead jews. That’s right, a jew made a model of Auschwitz using the gold teeth from jews who died there. Even more shocking is the claim that these teeth alone yielded 2.3 kilos (5.1 pounds) of gold alone!

Check out the photos of this monstrosity here and see for yourself. Apparently this work is more than a year old, and was of course, displayed at a gallery in Germany, as if to say thanks for the “burnt offering” of all your innocent civilians.  The exhibit was closed within hours due to it’s controversial nature. However, just like the Anne Stank story, this one is just a little more controversy to keep the fake holocaust of jews at the forefront; while at the same time totally ignoring the real burnt offering of millions of humans to whatever evil manifestation the jews sacrifice too.

The pathetic swine seen posing naked here is the one responsible for the Auschwitz model supposedly made of gold teeth pulled from dead jews during the fake 6 million jew holocaust. The story must be true if someone of his caliber says it is so, right?

The truth is, the gold probably came out of Fort Knox, or was extracted from Germany when the jews took over after WWII. To them it symbolizes the prized golden city of Auschwitz, and the holocaust of thousands of Germans left in their wake. To them it is a mockery of your ignorance, and solidifies their golden opportunity to enslave your minds with the fable of the poor jew as the eternal victim.

This holocaust remembrance day, try to remember what a farce the jew stories are, and share that truth with others. Try to have a laugh at the bogus stories of shrunken heads, lampshades, and soap made from jews. Instead of thinking of the fake holocaust this remembrance day (whatever day that is), spend your time imaging how peaceful, safe, and tranquil the world could be if we actually did slow roast the jews over an open flame.

After all, this is why jews lay wreathes around their little fire at the Yad Vashem holocaust museum, because they know what’s coming for them all. Hell hath no fury like a human who has awakened from the jew induced dream state. The jews already know that once their spell is broken, there will be no quarter and they will “totally consumed” in a “burnt offering” which will bring peace to the entire earth.

Editor’s Note: There are several outright lies in this article from Der Spiegel (below). Bishop Williamson is not ill. He does not employ Orwellian “Holocaust” Newspeak and therefore does not “deny the Holocaust,” but rather the homicidal gas chamber allegation and the Kabbalistic casualty figure of six million. He did not, in Quebec (or anywhere else), call Auschwitz itself an invention, and he did not give the recent interview to French television in a room at SSPX headquarters in London.

Nevertheless, we are circulating this report because Der Spiegel is Germany’s mass market magazine and Bishop Williamson goes on trial (presumably in absentia) in Germany in April for his thought crimes. Consequently, it is important to assess what the Zionist-German media are telling the masses.

In the eyes of millions of people around the world, Bishop Williamson is an inspiring and distinguished figure, rather than an “embarrassment.” The embarrassment to Catholics is Pope Benedict XVI, who delivers soothing shibboleths to synagogue Pharisees while helping their “Shoah” theology gain firm purchase inside the Church; and certain leaders of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) who have betrayed Bishop Williamson, and their own founder, the late Archbishop Lefebvre, by rendering Williamson’s dissenting opinion about secular WWII history, grounds for negating the episcopal role for which Lefebvre consecrated him.

Bishop Williamson’s transgression is to have refused to propitiate the idol of “Holocaustianity,” which has surpassed Calvary in sacred status and on the scale of cosmic suffering. If he would only bow to this golden calf, he would regain his former responsibilities. Because he refuses this temptation, his usefulness to the SSPX is “lost,” according to the order’s superior.

Controversial Bishop Richard Williamson continues in his denial of the Holocaust, embarrassing both the Society of St. Pius to which he belongs and the Vatican. But the SSPX is becoming increasingly powerful despite the controversy and is attracting more and more supporters.

Richard Williamson’s complaints begin when he looks out the window of his office in Saint George’s House, the London headquarters of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). Just past the garden, at the base of a small hill in verdant Wimbledon Park, are a pond, golf course, croquet club and, most famously, the tennis courts.

The old man at the window likes tennis, which he admiringly calls the “greatest spectacle,” a game that involves “one spirit, one will.” In tennis, he says, it’s as if two gladiators were fighting each other, “just without bloodshed.”

But Williamson would not be true to form if he didn’t smell damnation in even the noblest of spectacles. The outfits worn by female tennis players, the bishop says indignantly, “hardly reach past the middles of their thighs.” Williamson has noticed female fans wearing even shorter skirts. “Aren’t there are any men left who tell their daughters, sisters, wives or mothers that this sort of outfit is only meant for the eyes of their own husbands?”

The world has become a smaller place for the notorious bishop. Since he denied the existence of the Holocaust on television more than a year ago, causing serious problems for Pope Benedict XVI and almost triggering a revolt against Rome by the Catholic faithful, the ultra-conservative SSPX has kept him in virtual quarantine at its Wimbledon headquarters. Bishop Bernard Fellay, the superior general of the SSPX, likens Williamson to uranium: “It’s dangerous when you have it,” he says, but you can’t “simply leave it by the side of the road.”

‘A Huge Lie’
Fellay knows what he is talking about. Williamson has no intention of revising his views on the gas chambers. When Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld sent him a book about the history of the Holocaust last year, he set it aside, unread. “The fact is that the 6 million people who were supposedly gassed represent a huge lie,” he wrote recently to his fellow members of the SSPX, noting that “a completely new world order was built” on this “fact.” The Jews, he added, “became ersatz saviors thanks to the concentration camps.”

Williamson, after refusing to pay a fine of €12,000 ($16,800), faces charges of inciting racial hatred in a trial in the southern German city of Regensburg set to begin on April 16. Although it is unclear whether he will appear at the trial in person, the bishop has already assembled a legal team that includes German lawyer Matthias Lossmann and the British attorney who once represented former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in his fight against extradition.

Both the obstinate bishop’s refusal to abandon his preposterous Holocaust theories and the trial in Regensburg are as embarrassing to the SSPX as they are to the Vatican, which is currently in direct talks with the fundamentalists. During the monthly meetings, three theologians from the SSPX sit, almost as they were participating in another Vatican council, across from three papal theologians in the Palace of the Holy Office, which is home to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and is adjacent to St. Peter’s Basilica. This is as close to the Vatican as it gets. Left-leaning and liberal theologians like Hans Küng have spent their lives dreaming in vain of such an encounter.

The 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council, also known as Vatican II, whose reforms helped to modernize the Catholic Church, is high up on the agenda of the members of the SSPX, who want to see it reversed as much as possible. For them, ecumenism is the stuff of the devil, the recognition of Judaism is a source of contention and the modern form of the liturgy is an impossible act of assimilation to the zeitgeist.

Their goal is to be recognized in Rome again after 22 years. The Vatican also wants to put an end to the division within the Church. But Williamson, who has been a thorn in the side of those seeking rapprochement, isn’t going away.

If a fundamentalist bishop like Williamson were to become unaffiliated, he would have the potential to divide the church once again. He could consecrate new priests at any time or establish his own, even more radical movement. This would be inconvenient for both Benedict and the SSPX, which is why Williamson is being tolerated.

‘These Men Are Rats’
Williamson’s refuge is a small guest room on Arthur Road in southern London, where he has a view of Centre Court at Wimbledon. The room is in a plain-looking, newer building, adorned only with two columns flanking the front door. A sign at the entrance to a chapel in the garden calls upon the faithful to pray during the SSPX’s upcoming “Rosary Crusade.” Father Lindström, a gaunt Swede, ensures that only the right people are allowed to visit Williamson.

The bishop has a reputation for being unpredictable. Sometimes he gives the staff instructions to tell visitors that he is not home, but on one occasion he sat down next to a Christmas tree for an interview with a video blogger. An interview with SPIEGEL, which had been scheduled for some time, happened to fall on a bad day. Williamson was only willing to appear on a stair landing, and even then, all that was visible of him were one of his arms and his hand wearing his bishop’s ring. His voice was easy to recognize, but he refused to speak directly with his interviewers, leaving Lindström to run up and down the stairs, delivering the questions and answers.

Later, Williamson decided to continue the interview with SPIEGEL by e-mail — even though he was only in the next room. The visit had made him very angry. “We are at war,” he raged, “and you are on the wrong side.” German liberal intellectuals are as distasteful to him as short skirts on the tennis court. “These men are, at least objectively, rats,” he wrote in a reference to SPIEGEL journalists.

Heresies and Errors

There is a strict regimen at the London headquarters of the Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Pii X, as the SSPX is called in Latin: wake up at 6:00 a.m., first prayers at 6:30, mass at 7:15, lunch at 12:45 p.m., rosary at 6:30, evening prayers at 9:00.

To the right of the entrance is the library, which has a separate cupboard for banned books. Guarded by two statues, one of Jesus and one of the Virgin Mary, a sign clearly identifies the dangerous publications in the cabinet as “Heresies/Errors.” On the top shelf is a book by the liberal German theologian Karl Rahner, a key influence on the Second Vatican Council, and next to it is a book that, though considered an authority by more than a billion Catholics, is far too modern for the SSPX: the “Catechism of the Catholic Church.”

Williamson lives on the second floor. This is where the bishop, who likes to perform lieder by Robert Schumann, removes his heavy bishop’s ring and plays works by German composers on the piano. “Music,” he says, “is an expression of harmony or disharmony in human souls.”

He also spends much of his time surfing the Internet, where he has loyal fans. There are 520 people registered as friends on his Facebook page, and hundreds read his columns on the Web, which he writes under the pen name “Dinoscopus” — a made-up word derived from dinosaur and episcopus (the Latin word for bishop). He cultivates his image as a reactionary and as keeper of the pure faith. Living in a large city is harmful, he recently pontificated while glancing at the tennis courts. It gets in the way of and destroys marriages, he said, turns young men into “washcloths” that are “washed out by liberalism,” so much so that “their common sense is diluted.”

Williamson is a sophisticated man who delivers powerful sermons. He is a literary scholar with a Cambridge degree who speaks perfect French, German and Spanish. He is also vain, appreciating refined manners and expensive clothes, and he forgets the world around him when he plays Beethoven. And he is someone who believes that no Jews were killed in the Third Reich’s gas chambers.

‘We Have Lost One of Our Four Bishops’

Bishop Fellay, Williamson’s superior, looks distressed as he sits in his office at Schwandegg Palace in Menzingen, Switzerland. He fervently hopes “that Williamson doesn’t explode.” The palace offers a sweeping view of Alpine foothills in the canton of Zug, where the old spa town sits atop a 900-meter (2,950-foot) mountain. The voices of oblates, devout lay women who help the priests run the household, can be heard in the hallways.

“We have lost one of our four bishops,” says Fellay. “We can’t use him for anything anymore.” He is struggling with himself and history, trying to find the right words and the appropriate amount of distance to the matter. He finds the whole thing “incredibly unpleasant,” and says that he had believed that “the bishop had understood things better in the meantime.” But unfortunately Williamson did not understand. Fellay says that his personal belief is that the Holocaust is “obviously” a fact.

But not all of his brothers are willing to agree. Shortly after the Williamson scandal broke in early 2009, an Italian priest, Father Floriano Abrahamowicz, speculated that the gas chambers may have been used merely “for disinfection,” and that Erich Priebke, a former captain in the SS who was involved in and later convicted of the shootings of hundreds of civilians in Italy, was in fact not an executioner. This too was “unpleasant” for the SSPX leadership.

On the other hand, the whole debate has had its advantages. Because of Williamson, the SSPX has acquired a level of notoriety unprecedented since its establishment in 1969 by the renegade French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Ultra-conservatives have always loved the Pius Brothers, and now they are becoming heroes of the right-wing, anti-modernist movement. What should a superior general like Fellay do about this?

Appealing to Extremists
“We have an appeal for extremists, who we don’t even want,” says Fellay, for whom questions of faith are ultimately the most important issues. One of those questions of faith revolves around who should have the say in religious matters in Switzerland: the church, with its beautiful churches and bell towers, or the mosques, with their minarets? This is why Fellay has fueled the recent debate in Switzerland over banning minarets. In fact, he welcomed the debate, because, as he says, Islam is “aggressive in general.”

On the other hand, the Pius disciples are perfectly calm and understanding when it comes to the mendacious and hate-filled speech coming from their own ranks. None of Williamson’s colleagues get upset when the bishop writes disparagingly about women in his blog, calling them “less than zeroes” and insisting that they are “under the power of the man.” “He should be your master,” he writes.

The Catholic brothers in Stuttgart showed their aggressive side against gays by staging a protest against the city’s Christopher Street Day parade, which celebrates gay pride. The priests held up signs that read “Save Children from Perversion,” and one of them condemned the event as “moral pollution.” He neglected to mention his fellow SSPX member’s denial of the Holocaust.

‘Fever in the Body of the Church’

To avoid misunderstandings, the ultra-conservatives have even hired their own PR specialist, Rudolph Lobmeyr, who once worked for the Austrian national public broadcaster ORF in Vienna, to explain the benefits of the Pius campaign to the public. “Fabric-softener faith is no longer wanted,” he says. He insists that people are looking for decisive leadership and want to be able to divide the world into good and evil — just as the SSPX does when it rages against gays, women and journalists. “It’s a reflection of the desires of many people, and it’s the secret to the society’s growing popularity,” Lobmeyr says.

“We are merely the thermometer indicating the fever in the body of the church,” says SSPX leader Bishop Fellay. The society claims to have 600,000 supporters. It maintains six seminaries, 14 districts, 161 priories and 725 mass centers and is active in 1,000 locations worldwide. The society is growing in the United States, Asia and Africa.

It was this potential that the pope had in mind when he lifted the excommunications of the four SSPX bishops last year. Benedict is a traditionalist and, like the Pius Brothers, he loves the Latin mass, shares their ideas about morality and sometimes despairs of modern society, which could turn a sentence Williamson uttered on a Swedish television program into a global scandal.

Fellay reports triumphantly that the pope himself — in keeping with the SSPX’s demands — apparently no longer places communion wafers into the hands of the faithful, but directly into their mouths. For Fellay, this represents yet another success in the battle against the modern church.

Growing Congregation
It is noon in the more than 700-year-old church of Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet in Paris, which has been occupied by the SSPX since 1977. All masses here are mumbled in accordance with the Latin ritual, accompanied by Gregorian chants, with the priest turning his back on the congregation — all standard practices for centuries, until the Second Vatican Council destroyed the traditions. A noticeably large number of young people are kneeling on the cold stone floor, and the air is heavy with incense smoke.

The Paris branch of the SSPX has noticed a sharp increase in church attendance since the beginning of last year. The priests have had to increase their weekly supply of communion wafers by 300 wafers, so that there will be enough to place on the tongues of the faithful. Perhaps the Holocaust scandal was responsible for the rise in attendance, or perhaps the new additions to the flock were encouraged by the pope’s lifting of the excommunication of the four bishops — or perhaps both factors played a role.

France is the society’s stronghold. It now has 100,000 supporters there, and 4,000 children attend its schools. Traditionalists see the movement as the future of Catholicism.

Strange Ideas
Niklaus Pfluger has just returned from mass at Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet. In the hierarchy of the order, the Swiss priest is second only to Bishop Fellay. When Williamson shocked the church a year ago by denying the Holocaust in an interview, Fellay immediately sent Pfluger to Argentina, where Williamson was staying at the time, to stop the renegade bishop from talking to the media.

Pfluger is still puzzled about the motives of his fellow SSPX member. Sitting in the Bistrot Saint Honoré in Paris, over a plate of mussels and a glass of 2002 Ladoix 1er Cru, he attempts to piece together an explanation. Williamson, he says, happens to be a first-class provocateur and has always had strange ideas. Right away on Sept. 11, 2001, he claimed that the US government had staged the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. He also claims that it wasn’t Japan but the White House that ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor, in an effort to draw the Americans into World War II.

During a sermon in the Canadian province of Quebec in April 1989, Williamson said that the Jews had invented Auschwitz as a way to derive certain benefits. Someone filed a criminal complaint against him, and Williamson has done his best to avoid Quebec ever since.

“He is actually an artist and not a scholar,” says Pfluger. “He gets an idea into his head, becomes fixated on it and exaggerates. But he doesn’t study the documents.” He calls Williamson a “ticking time bomb” for his organization, but he also points out that the bishop has many merits, and that he shouldn’t be “exiled to the Moon.”

Unpredictable Behavior
Pfluger is also concerned about the health of the 69-year-old bishop, who has apparently had Parkinson’s disease for several years. Could this explain his moody, unpredictable behavior? Pfluger and his fellow Pius Brothers have often been irritated by the emails they receive on a regular basis from London. In a recent email, Williamson wrote that “1.3 million deported people” were not gassed in the Treblinka, Majdanek, Belzec and Sobibor concentration camps, but were simply transported to the part of the Soviet Union that was occupied by Germany. Ridiculous rumors to the contrary, Williamson added, should be ignored.

The society is also aware of Williamson’s contacts with Ingrid Rimland, the wife of Ernst Zündel, who is currently in a German prison after having been convicted of incitement to Holocaust denial. Rimland continues to disseminate her husband’s theories.

The bishop is also in touch via email with Swiss Holocaust denier Jürgen Graf, who is being sought by German, French and Swiss authorities. Graf believes that the idea of extermination camps was a Jewish invention. He plans to publish a new book about the Sobibor extermination camp, where about 250,000 Jews were killed in the gas chambers, entitled “Sobibor. Myth and Reality.” Graf says that he hopes Williamson will “write an introduction” to his book.

The priests paid particular attention when Williamson, at the beginning of the year, described his sojourn in London as an “unplanned but pleasant sabbatical.” It sounded as if he had had enough of the tennis skirts at Wimbledon, and was ready to start speaking out in public again.

This is an outstanding exchange hosted by an impartial moderator.
This is from Russian television and is in English.

Edith is a superstar on the Holyco$t circuit, and a consummate storyteller.

She says she danced for Dr. Mengele, and saw the black smoke from the gas chamber (not the crematorium), which likely contained the ashes of her mother.

Whenever Edie and her sister Magda showered at Auschwitz, “they never knew if they would receive water or gas.”

Eventually an emaciated and thought-dead Edie was thrown in a mass grave in the woods behind a camp, but an American GI spotted her hand move and she was pulled from the pile of corpses. A miracle!

She weighed 40 lbs at 17 yrs-old when liberated.

Edie now travels all over telling her story.

Edie’s Heroic Story

Edie’s story began in Kassa, Hungry where she grew up with her parents and older sisters, Magda and Klara. In May of 1944 at the age of 16 her life changed forever. Edie was sent by the Germans to Auschwitz concentration camp along with her parents and sister Magda. (Her sister Klara was smuggled out of the country by her music teacher and was the only one in her family to escape the concentration camp.)

When Edie and her family arrived in Auschwitz, her father was immediately separated from the rest of them and sent to the men’s camp. They never saw him again. While Edie, her mother, and sister Magda stood in line to await their fate, Dr. Josef Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death” approached them. He directed her mother to the left and Edie and her sister to the right. Edie tried to go to the left with her mother, but Dr. Mengele told her she had to go to the right and that she would see her mother later after her mother’s shower. Edie waited for her mother, but later learned from another inmate that her mother had been sent to the gas chamber.

Later that same day the guards found out from other inmates that Edie had been a ballerina in Hungry. They told Dr. Mengele, who liked to be entertained by the inmates. He sent for Edie to dance for him. As Edie was onstage dancing for Dr. Mengele, she saw the black smoke from the gas chamber, which likely contained the ashes of her mother, drift upward toward heaven. Edie remembered her mother’s words while on the train to Auschwitz, “No one can take from you what you put in your mind.”

Edie said as she continued to dance, “Dr. Mengele discussed with the guards who should die next. I prayed. Not for myself, but for Dr. Mengele, so he would not have to kill me. It was then that I began to pity the Nazis; they were more imprisoned than I. Somehow I would survive, but they would always have to live with what they had done.”

Edie and her sister Magda were close to death many times. Whenever they showered, they never knew if they would receive water or gas. They had to carry ammunitions for the Nazis on the infamous “death march.” They were used as human shields on top of a train full of ammunitions. The Nazis thought that the allies would not drop bombs on a train carrying prisoners, but they were wrong. The bombs killed others around them, but Edie and her sister survived.

From June 1944 to May 1945 Edie and Magda were moved from camp to camp, eventually ending up in Gunskirchen Larger camp. They were becoming exhausted and emaciated with hunger. Edie became so weak that she went in and out of consciousness. Even her sister’s vigilance as a caretaker couldn’t revive Edie. She was unconscious when guards thought she was dead and they tossed her in a mass grave in the woods behind the camp.

Then in May of 1945 Edie’s miracle came. Almost a year to the day from when she arrived in Auschwitz, she was pulled from the pile of corpses in the woods by an American GI who was there with the 71st Infantry to liberate the Gunskirchen Larger camp. He saw her hand move. She weighed 40 pounds and had a broken back, but she was alive!

After her recovery, Edie married a Czech freedom-fighter and eventually moved to the United States where she raised three children. She believes she was saved for a reason. It is her life’s work is to spread the message that it is possible to love and forgive, even in the midst of life’s greatest adversities. Edie says, “Contrary to popular belief, there are no victims in this world – only willing participants. Each of us have the opportunity to transform our lives. You may not control your circumstances, but you can control how you respond to them. Everyone has the power to change at any time.”

Edie is an amazing person beyond her story! Being in the presence of someone with this level of love and compassion is life changing.

Mengele then sent him back to work without painkillers.

Also, poor Yitzchak he had to spend the whole night in a bath of ice-cold water because Mengele wanted to test his lung function. Jews are immune to hypothermia.

Altogether, Ganon says he spent six and a half months in the hospital…at the Auschwitz “death camp.”

His mother and five siblings were sent to the gas chambers.

He was later slated to go to the gas chambers, but was the 201st man and the gas chamber was full after 200. A miracle!

Yitzhak Ganon survived Auschwitz SS doctor Josef Mengele’s medical experiments — and swore never to set foot in a hospital again.

Dr. Mengele’s Victim

Why One Auschwitz Survivor Avoided Doctors for 65 Years

12/10/2009
By Christoph Schult
SPIEGEL

Sixty-five years ago, infamous Auschwitz doctor Josef Mengele removed Yitzhak Ganon’s kidney without anesthesia. The Greek-born Jew swore never to see a doctor again — until a heart attack last month brought his horrific tale into the open.

He is a thin man. His wine-red cardigan is a little too big, and his legs are like matchsticks in his brown pants. Yitzhak Ganon takes care of himself. He’s freshly shaven, his white mustache neatly trimmed. The 85-year-old sits on a gray sofa, with a cushion supporting his back. He is too weak to stand by himself, but he still greets a guest in German: “Guten Tag.”

Speaking is hard for him. “Slowly, Abba,” his daughter Iris says, and brings him a glass of water. Her father has never in his life complained of any pain, she says.

A month ago he came back from his morning walk and lay down. “Are you sick, Papa?” Iris asked. “No, just a little tired,” Yitzhak Ganon answered, before going to sleep. But after a few hours he was still tired. “I don’t need a doctor,” he told his daughter.

The next morning things were even worse. Ganon’s wife and daughter called a doctor, who diagnosed a viral infection and told him to go to the hospital. Ganon resisted, but finally realized his life was in danger. At some point he stopped fighting the doctor’s orders.

‘Just One Kidney’

His family brought him to the hospital in his home town of Petach Tikva near Tel Aviv. He had hardly been admitted when he lost consciousness. Heart attack, the doctor said. The blood clots were cleared with the help of tiny balloons, and the doctors put five stents in him. “We thought he wouldn’t survive the operation,” said Eli Lev, the doctor. “Especially since he had just one kidney.”

When Yitzhak Ganon came to, he told the doctors where he lost the other kidney — and why he had avoided doctors for 65 years. A reporter from the Israeli paper Maariv heard about the story. And now, weeks after the operation, Ganon is ready to tell his story to a German reporter for the first time.

He stretches his back and looks at a photo on the living room wall. It shows the Acropolis in Athens. “I come from Arta, a small city in northern Greece. It happened on Saturday, March 25, 1944. We had just lit the candles to celebrate the Sabbath when an SS officer and a Greek policeman burst into the house. They told us we should get ourselves ready for a big trip.”

The 85-year-old slides the sleeve of his shirt up and uncovers his left forearm. The number 182558 is tattooed there in dark-blue ink.

Tied Down

The transport to Auschwitz took two weeks. His sick father died on the journey. Upon arrival, they had to strip and submit to an inspection. Ganon’s mother and five siblings were then sent to the gas chambers.

Yitzhak Ganon was taken to the Auschwitz-Birkenau hospital, where Josef Mengele, the so-called “Angel of Death,” conducted grisly experiments on Jewish prisoners.

Ganon had to lie down on a table and was tied down. Without any anesthetics, Mengele cut him open and removed his kidney. “I saw the kidney pulsing in his hand and cried like a crazy man,” Ganon says. “I screamed the ‘Shema Yisrael.’ I begged for death, to stop the suffering.”

After the “operation,” he had to work in the Auschwitz sewing room without painkillers. Among other things, he had to clean bloody medical instruments. Once, he had to spend the whole night in a bath of ice-cold water because Mengele wanted to “test” his lung function. Altogether, Ganon spent six and a half months in the concentration camp’s hospital.

‘Just Fatigue’

When they had no more use for him, the Nazis sent him to the gas chamber. He survived only by chance: The gas chamber held only 200 people. Ganon was number 201.

On January 27, 1945, Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet troops. Yitzhak Ganon made it back to Greece and found his surviving siblings — a brother and a sister — and emigrated to Israel in 1949. He got married. And he swore never to go to a doctor again. “Whenever he was sick, even when it was really bad,” his wife Ahuva says, “he told me it was just fatigue.”

But now Ganon is happy he finally went to the hospital after his heart attack. One week later, he had another heart attack, and was given a pacemaker. “If the doctors hadn’t been there,” he says, smiling for the first time, “I would be dead now.” Yitzhak Ganon has survived, again.

More Preposterous Holohoax Tales

Vhat? You don’t believe my Holocaust tale?

Another one for the Hall of Fame. It hits 11 of the 12 stages.

This tale is certified kosher from “Telling Their Stories”, and archived here in an interview from 2003.

William Lowenberg

Date: April 3, 2003, San Francisco, California
Interviewers: Oral History Class (whole class group interview), with Howard Levin and Deborah Dent-Samake

Date: May 8, 2003, San Francisco, California
Interviewers: Matthew G. (’05), Marisa S. (’05), Molly K (’05), Jason G. (’05), Eve M. (’05), with Howard Levin and Deborah Dent-Samake

William “Bill” Lowenberg was born in Ochtrup, Germany. He was the only survivor of his immediate family – his father, mother and sister all perished in Auschwitz. His family fled Germany to Holland in 1936 after experiencing an increasing amount of anti-Semitism. Bill’s family was sent to the Westerbork concentration camp in Holland in 1942. He was then sent by himself to Auschwitz-Birkenau at the end of 1942 where he stayed until the spring of 1943. He was then sent to the Warsaw Ghetto after the uprising where he was forced to do slave labor destroying buildings, burning bodies and searching for valuables for the German army. From Warsaw Bill was then sent to Dachau and then to the Kauffering camp. He was liberated on April 30, 1945 by the American army. Feeling a great debt to the U.S. Army, Bill later went on to serve in the Army during the Korean War. After starting with only ten dollars in his pocket when arriving to the United States, Bill went on to create a successful real estate company in San Francisco. He now dedicates his life to Holocaust remembrance and education, and is a co-founder of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

Lowenberg also is now a Freemason in California, and was “one of five individuals to spearhead the creation of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.”

Summary of William’s tale:

William was only 15 when the evil Germans gathered up William and his family and put them in a box car. The box car went to Auschwitz. William and his fellow Jews would use the dead Jews in the box cars as benches. The Jews would poop on the dead Jews. When the train arrived at Auschwitz, 1/3 of the people had suffocated.

The Nazis gave priority to the trains full of Jews. Trains full of food going to the troops would have to wait, because the Nazis priority was to kill all the Jews.

Dr. Mengele greeted the transports. Mengele had a whip and a white coat. Little William was only 15, but he told Mengele that he was 18. This spared his life, because the Nazis gassed all the Jews who couldn’t work. William had to work by moving rocks from one place to the other, then back again.

The Jews got only 200 calories a day for food. In the morning, they had no breakfast for breakfast –only tea. For lunch, 4 people had to eat a single bowl of soup. The Jews got a slice of bread for dinner. If you didn’t eat your bread right away, the rats would steal it from you.

The camp commander had a motorcycle that he would drive down the main street. He would shoot at anything that moved from his motorcycle. If he saw you, he would use you for target practice.

There was typhus at Auschwitz. A friend, the magician, told William not to drink the water. The friend put a pebble in William’s mouth to make saliva. So William didn’t have to drink any water for 3 years, but was never thirsty. William would clean himself by rolling in the snow.

William saw his own mother, father, and sister go into the gas chamber. The Germans had crews of Jews who would work in the gas chambers. Every 90 days, the Nazis shot the Jews who worked in the gas chamber, because they didn’t want anyone alive to testify about what the Nazis were doing.

At Auschwitz, there was a team of Jews that had wheelbarrows. Every morning the Jews would walk around the fence with their wheelbarrows, and pick up the dead Jews who had died on the electric fence.

Dr. Mengele would perform experiments on the Jews. He castrated the big Jews. He injected animal semen into some other Jews.

One day a wheelbarrow ran over William, and he couldn’t work. So his friend, the magician, hid William in the rafters. The magician would have been killed in the first transport, but the Nazis needed a magician.

Then William and the magician volunteered for a transport that said “Destination Unknown.” The Nazis killed all the Jews at Auschwitz, so William is lucky the Nazis let him and the magician volunteer for this transport. The transport went to the Warsaw ghetto. William worked on the dynamite team. The Nazis made the Jews dynamite the buildings.

Then William built an underground factory. The Jews would pile rocks up 100 feet high and very long. The Nazis poured 4-5 feet of concrete over this mountain of rocks, and then took a firehouse and blew out the rocks underneath. So the Nazis then had an underground tunnel that they built the V2 rockets in.

The Germans made William salvage electrical transformers from the ruins of Warsaw. William and his friends saw diamonds, gold and money lying in the ruins. But they didn’t take any, because you couldn’t eat diamonds.

One Jew traded another Jew, a greenhorn, the diamonds for his bread for 3 days. The Jew who took the diamonds died of starvation. After 3 days.

The Holocaust™ was the biggest money maker ever for the Germans. The Nazis had whole teams of people working in the gas chamber to take the gold from the dead Jews. If you had gold fillings, you were gassed immediately. Then the Nazis sold all the shoes and clothing from the dead Jews to South America. The Nazis financed the war for 2 years by selling the Jew’s gold fillings, and shoes, and clothing.

Then the Nazis were going to kill all the Jews in Warsaw, but the resistance leader warned the Germans not to. So the Germans death marched the Jews instead. They made the Jews death march all week. Then the Jews wanted to drink at the river. So the Nazis machine gunned them. They used dogs to get the Jews back into line for the machine guns. The river turned into blood, all red.

Then the Nazis put the Jews on a train to Dachau. Then they told the Jews they were going to march to Switzerland, but the Nazis fooled them, and death marched them again. William was certain to die on this death march, but the Americans came. Then an American soldier gave William a cigarette. William took 1 puff and fainted.

Then William and his friends robbed the nearby German houses and killed the SS men. Then William went to Holland, but the Nazis had stolen all the cows.

Highlights from the interview:

The 15-year old Lowenberg travels to Auschwitz in a box car “like cattle.” He’s says the German plans of “killing all the jews” even took precedence over the war on the eastern front against the Russians, so the box cars carrying the jews to Auschwitz was given priority over troop transports and supplies for the German Army.

Can you describe the transport from Westerbork to Auschwitz?

When we got to Auschwitz in the box cars from Holland which lasted about a week to get there…and by the way, the Germans were so determined to kill people that while they were fighting a war on the Russian side, in Eastern Europe, the railroads–planes weren’t used in those days–the railroads had priority, the boxcars going to Auschwitz had priority on the rail lines to Auschwitz, before the army troops were supplied on the Eastern Front. You can see how obsessed they were with killing people.

Page 6

William meets Mengele himself when arriving at Auschwitz:

Then we were in Auschwitz, in Birkenau. Then they started screaming, “Out, out, out,” so we went out. And we were standing in line to be selected. You have heard of Mengele, a famous doctor? And he stood in front of the line, there were about eight, nine people in each row, and he said to me, I remember quite well, in German, he said, “How old?” So, for some reason, God made me say 18. I was only 15 but I was chubby, with a coat on. I looked kind of not very thin. And, I said eighteen, and he goes like this [flicks arm to the right]. And, I see people who went, and the others go like that, with his whip [flicks arm to the left]. The ones who went there [left] went on trucks. I figured as I’m standing there, I said, “Why did I lie? Now I have to walk, and God knows how far. These people are all going on trucks. I could have been on the trucks if I didn’t lie.” But the ones who went on the trucks went to the gas chambers. Out of the four thousand they took about maybe four or five hundred who had to work. And that depended on if they needed a work force.

Page 6

He says he saw his parents and sister go to the gas chambers, and that the Auschwitz gas chambers operated 24 hrs a day. He survived on 200 calories a day:

And I saw my parents and my sister marching by, but they were marching into the gas chambers and I was working in front of the building. And I stopped working, I fainted almost, and I was beaten up, I still have scars on my back. Now then we knew that the gas chambers were working 24 hours a day. It went on for years and years until about the end of ’44.

The food intake was about 200 calories. You got a piece of bread in the evening. The next morning you got some what they called “tea” with some warm water, whatever color. At lunch you got a bowl of soup and every four people had a bowl, so you never had your own. So four people ate out of the bowl. That was our food. At night the bread you had to eat immediately because if you didn’t, either you couldn’t keep it all night because the rats would eat it if you had it under your hat, or they would steal it from you, people were so hungry.

Page 6

William says the camp commander would ride on his motorcycle on the main street of the camp and shoot at jews for target practice:

The beatings were horrible with the dogs, they all had dogs, those Germans, the SS men, the dogs and the beatings. I remember the camp commander–that I remember vividly–had a motorcycle and he used to go on the main street of the camp in Birkenau. He had a pistol in his hand and anything he saw moving, human beings, he shot, he used you for target practice. Life was absolutely, totally worthless to these people. That I remember.

Page 6

According to Lowenberg, if you got sick or injured at Auschwitz, you were immediately gassed. One time he was injured by a whellbarrow and “hid in the rafters” of the barracks by his magician friend:

Did you ever get sick at Auschwitz?

If you got really sick you go to “Barracks 13″ they called it, and the next day you’d be gassed. I once got run over by a lorry, they called it—you know, one of those wheelbarrows, those heavy double wheelbarrows—and I was destined to go to “Barracks 13.” My friend again, the magician, he hid me in the rafters in his barracks and shared his food with me. That’s when we got out. He said, “We’re getting out of here.” And we volunteered, he volunteered me and him on a “transport unknown,” I don’t know if I talked about it [before]. He says, “Either we go on the ‘transport unknown’ and we’ll get killed tomorrow morning or we really go to somewhere,” because they did take people out of Auschwitz for work details and other factories, other cities, wherever. “And if we stay here, we’ll be dead in three weeks anyhow or maybe next week. So, let’s take a chance. There’s no one who gets out alive out of Auschwitz.” And I was in the rafters up there and we went on this transport, and that’s how we got to Warsaw because it was “transport unknown” but nobody told us where we were going. We were in the boxcars about two, three days then, we were in Warsaw seeing the ghetto burning.

Page 7

When doing work outside the camps, William claims he saw diamonds, gold, valuable artwork, and money just lying in the streets or in the rubble of the bombed out buildings. But he didn’t take any of the valuables because “you couldn’t eat money or diamonds”:

We always saw money on the streets constantly. People just lying there. Valuable art, whatever art people had. And money on the streets, sure, diamonds and gold. We found them in the rubble sometimes, on the dead bodies. What are you going to do with it? You can’t eat a piece of metal, you can’t eat diamonds. That didn’t mean anything, there was no value. That’s why there’s no one who came out of the camp who brought any value with them because there was nothing, we didn’t have anything. And you couldn’t use it, it wasn’t trading material.

Page 8

Lowenberg says the Nazis financed the war, extending it by two years, from selling all the gold tooth fillings, shoes, and ratty old lice-infested clothing from the “six million holocuasted jews.” William forgot about the “five million” holocausted non-jews. Maybe they didn’t have gold fillings or clothes that were re-sellable. He says that all jews who had gold fillings were immediately sent to the gas chambers:

And let’s remember one thing, the biggest money maker for the German government was the Holocaust because we take six million people, they have wedding rings, they have gold teeth, they have clothing, they have money in their pockets, a little bit, and then all these buildings to demolish. That was the biggest moneymaker. I would venture to say that the Second World War would have been finished within a year and a half to two years had it not been for the Holocaust because that financed the Germans. That’s why you hear today about all this gold they took to Switzerland. That’s why the insurance companies, are the biggest thieves on earth because they sold the insurance companies [policies], and people came after the war and said, “My father had insurance, I know that.” They said, “Where’s your death certificate?” Well Auschwitz didn’t give death certificates. So, this is still going on now.

The Holocaust was the biggest money making event for the Germans. If you had gold fillings, you were destined to be killed immediately because there were whole teams who did nothing else in the gas chambers after the Germans gassed them to take the gold out. Bags, and bags, and bags of gold. And the clothing – six million people, there’re six million shoes. That’s a lot of shoes for a country. The clothing, they sold them all over the world including South America. This was a big, big money making event for the Germans. That extended the war, in my opinion, by probably two years. Nobody talks about it but believe me.

Page 8

Lowenberg claims at Auschwitz the Germans castrated men and injected semen from animals into the women:

The men they did castrations, a lot – middle size, regular size, big size – they castrated men and they had the worst time, they couldn’t live much longer. I knew quite a few who were picked. They picked certain individuals who looked like they were “macho-macho” or whatever. They castrated and injected them. But the women were worse. In Auschwitz it was prevalent, big operation, what they did to women there you can’t even talk about what they did to them. Inject them with semen from animals, you name it. Anything you can think of that you wouldn’t want to talk about, they did it the people.

Page 9

After being “liberated” from Dachau by the American Army, Lowenberg and his friends murdered every German guard they could get their hands on:

Damn right. Were we angry? Yeah, all of that. We didn’t kill anybody. German guards yes, we killed all we could find the German guards who had done it to us, but not German civilians.

Page 10

What did you do the first day you were liberated?

[...]

Then all of a sudden the Americans came with the tanks. We had to scream at them, “Don’t touch the wires!” because the wires were all high voltage – 2000 volts of electricity. Then they had to bring in the Corps of Engineers to take the electricity off those wires. Then they opened up. I got out with about five or six of us immediately and we took over a German barracks and we killed a bunch of Germans – the SS, the guards. I could walk at that time, not all could. We then were told we had to get back in the camp because the American army knew there was a typhoid epidemic and other diseases at that point. They closed the camp up again, but they gave us food. They were very good.

Page 11

Lowenberg was a vice-chairman of the founding of the Holy Hoax Museum in Washington, D.C.:

Have you kept in contact with your liberators?

No. Except some twenty years ago – no, it’s not, it’s ten years ago, pardon me – when we opened the museum in Washington – some of you may have seen it, the Holocaust Museum, I was the vice-chairman of it – we invited some people who had liberated the camps.

Page 11

William says he rolled in the snow to keep clean:

I remember more in Warsaw, which was the same situation, but we had a long period of snow there, because it’s colder in Poland. I used to sneak out, and others too, sometimes, whenever we could and go out in the snow and roll ourselves in the snow, and wash ourselves down with the snow. If you had enough strength, you did that, as long as the Germans didn’t see that. But if you didn’t have enough strength, people died because of hygiene. Hygiene, to me – and I talk about it even outside of this milieu – people don’t realize how important hygiene is. It saved my life.

Page 13

His magician friend tells him to put a pebble in his mouth to avoid having to drink the water at Auschwitz:

Someone was interviewing you and they asked, “What was your will for staying alive?” You responded that you “kept clean.” What was your reason?

Good question. I happen to believe very strongly in hygiene which I learned from my mother. She was very clean, I mean “household-wise” scrubbing all of the time and washing all of the time. When I got to Auschwitz somebody said to me, the same friend, he said, “Don’t drink the water, the water has typhoid in it.” So, what do you do? So he said, “Pick up a pebble,” there was a pebble in the street, a little stone pebble. I picked up that pebble, I wiped it and I put it in my mouth. I had it all the way through the camps and that created enough saliva that I didn’t get dehydrated. But we never drank the water there was an enormous amount of typhoid. The other thing, which was very prevalent, that’s why a lot of people died, too, because of the type of food we got and the water we drank, diarrhea was a big killer.

[...]

The other thing that saved me, probably – there was – the water had typhoid in it. We knew that. By having that you also got immediately – and it happened a lot – a lot of people had diarrhea. My friend – the one I mentioned, the magician again – he had some experience, and he said, “Don’t drink the water.” What do you do? Cause you need [water]. He said, “Pick up a pebble.” I picked up a pebble off the street, a little stone. I had that stone for three years. I had it in my mouth, all day long. It activated my saliva gland. He taught me that. That’s why I never got that thirsty. That helps. Why do you think you guys take to chewing gum, right? What’s the reason you take chewing gum? To activate your saliva gland, but they don’t tell you that. They tell you it tastes good. It’s because you activate your saliva gland. It’s probably healthy. I don’t like chewing gum, it’s personal, I don’t know, it doesn’t mean anything to me. But young people, you see it more than older people. That pebble saved my life, I believe, because I didn’t drink the water. If you drank the water you got typhoid and there was lots and lots of typhoid. Hygiene. I feel very strong about that.

Did you keep the pebble?

No, I lost it. When the war was over, we were liberated, I wanted to get rid of everything that reminded me of it. No. I wish I had. I thought about it. I wished I kept that pebble. It was a little stone and it worked. Others did too, I wasn’t the only one. But not everybody did, apparently.

He claims that Mengele and the doctors would “pull womens’ uteruses out through their vaginas.”

Note near the end of the article where the current Holo story is that the Nazis only had 6 camps for “exterminating Jews”: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Chelmno, Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek and Belzec.

Wilhelm Brasse, 91, photographer and ex-prisoner of Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp shows his pictures in his home in Zywiec (south Poland) on January 25, 2009. Brasse, a portrait photographer from Katowice, was caught and imprisoned for trying to escape occupied Poland in 1939.

Photographer tricked Nazis to save Auschwitz images

A Polish photographer forced by the Nazis to document the terror at Auschwitz saved the historically important negatives by duping his commander.

Wilhelm Brasse was put through daily torture photographing the horrors of the Auschwitz death camp but the young Pole pulled a fast one over his Nazi captors to make sure the terrible events were not forgotten.

Brasse, now 91, had to take pictures of women whose genitals were butchered by Nazi “Angel of Death” Josef Mengele, of Jewish prisoners arriving at the camp to go to the gas chamber and even of the camp brothel where women were turned into sex slaves.

Somehow, Brasse survived the war. However, as the Soviet Red Army approached, his Nazi commander ordered him to burn all his negatives on January 17, 1944. “He said: ‘Brasse, the ‘Ivans’ are coming – destroy everything,’” the photographer recalled in an interview to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January. “But he didn’t know the negatives were non-flammable. I put them in the stove, lit it, my boss waited 10 minutes and when he left I poured water on the flames.”

It was one of the miracles of Auschwitz. Brasse, a portrait photographer from Katowice, managed to save many of the photos.

He originally entered the camp after being caught and imprisoned for trying to escape occupied Poland in 1939.

“This one, it’s a special photo ordered by Dr. Mengele in 1943,” said Brasse, holding up a photo of four living skeletons. “They were Jewish teenager girls, two sets of twins.”

“They were so young, terrified and so embarrassed standing naked in front of me, a 23-year-old man,” he added, showing a photo of himself as a young man, prisoner number 3444. “I knew they would die in a few days or a few hours. It was their last photo.”

Brasse was forced by the Nazis to work in a unit documenting the death camp.

“The only thing I could tell them was that nothing else would happen to them,” he said.

Brasse was also forced to document inhuman pseudo-medical experiments performed by Mengele and other doctors.

“The victims, women, were anaesthetized,” said Brasse. “Their uteruses were pulled out through their vaginas and I was forced to photograph the organs in detail.”

He also photographed prisoners arriving at the camp.

“When they arrived at Auschwitz, people’s faces were full, they looked normal,” he said. “Just weeks later, if they were still alive, they were unrecognizable.”

Brasse was among the first prisoners to arrive at Auschwitz on August 31, 1940 and was put to work in the “Erkennungsdienst,” a unit identifying prisoners created by the Gestapo security force in January 1941.

He had tried to get to France to join a free Polish force but was caught at the border and shipped to Auschwitz among 460 Polish political prisoners.

“The Germans wanted me to declare I was German,” said Brasse. But he refused to renounce his Polish nationality. “My mother was Polish, I felt Polish even though I spoke German well, just like my grandfather.”

He became a photographer because his parents were too poor to pay school fees. After working as an apprentice, he became a portrait photographer in Katowice. “I was the only professional photographer in the ‘Erkennungsdienst,’” he said. “The Germans needed me, this is why I survived.”

He was ordered to photograph the severed head of a prisoner who had drowned in the Sola river, adjacent to the camp. Brasse was also required to photograph women forced to work in a camp brothel and the elite German SS officers who ran it.

The horrors did not end with the liberation of Auschwitz. Four days later, he was evacuated in an infamous Death March of 60,000 sick and dying prisoners over hundreds of kilometres west to Gross-Rosen and Buchenwald.

He survived and was held at the Mauthausen, Melk and Ebensee camps in Austria before being liberated by US troops on May 6, 1945.

Historians estimate 1.1 million people died at the hands of Poland’s German occupiers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps between 1940 and 1945. Ninety percent of the victims were Jews.

Nazi Germany created six camps during World War II to exterminate Jews gathered from across occupied Europe. There was also Chelmno, Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek and Belzec.

“After the war, I tried to work as a photographer, but I couldn’t,” Brasse said. “Those poor Jewish children were always before my eyes. There are things you can never forget.”

Judith was also served soup with rats and live mice in it. [1]

She says the Auschwitz ovens could cremate 8,000 in one day, and that the Germans would “hold prisoners under the water to see how long they would last until they would freeze to death.”

50 football fields = 50 x 300ft = 15,000 ft = 2.84 miles. A gas chamber building 3 miles long? With a gas chamber of that size, they could probably gas 200,000 people at one time. Maybe the Germans were planning on gassing the entire population of Europe.

Perlaki and her son Lawrence have been visiting schools for 15 years sharing their fairytale.

Holocaust survivor talks to Wood-Ridge HS students

Tuesday, March 20, 2009

The Leader

WOOD-RIDGE — “It is too enormous to imagine … that six million people were killed. Just think, the World Trade Center disaster would have to happen every day for almost six years to equal six million people,” Lawrence Perlaki said of the Holocaust. He and his mother, Judith, a Holocast survivor, recently spoke to Wood-Ridge High School students.

The mother and son shared information about the historic and emotional event; Judith emphasized what she personally had to endure. “We can never forget. I am always trying to teach you people to understand each other and for nothing else to happen. It is up to your future generation. Save yourself and your country,” she said.

Judith and her family were taken to Auschwitz in Poland — one of the largest Nazi German concentration camps — in a cattle car that had no bathroom, food or water. The entire trip on the “death train” took three days, with no stops. Judith’s family, along with many others, were led to believe that the Germans were taking them to a safer location. Once there, Judith and her two younger sisters were separated from the rest of their family.

Lawrence described the conditions, where horse stables were used as living corridors and black smoke filled the air every day from the ashes of the burning remains of Jews. “The Nazis would say to me, ‘Look up, there goes your family,’ ” Judith said. The gas chambers — as long as 50 football fields — would kill 1,500 to 2,000 Jews at one time, and the oven could burn 8,000 people a day.

“My mother knew that they were now in hell. All of their humanity and dignity was stripped away by the Nazis,” Lawrence said. He described Judith’s ability to save her sisters and survive as a miracle. Judith understood German and was able to befriend a Nazi who helped them survive. “Their will to survive was stronger than Hitler’s will to murder them.”

“When your life is in danger, you find the responsibility,” Judith said. “You think, how could I eat soup with rats and mice in it, but when you need to survive, you have to eat anything.”

Lawrence described how the Nazis would tie women’s legs together to stop them from having babies or hold prisoners under the water to see how long they would last until they would freeze to death. But Judith says she has no hatred in her because she doesn’t know who to hate. But she does have a message for when she passes away, “I am going to tell Saint Peter, ‘I’m going straight to heaven because I’ve been to hell already.’ ”

“She (Judith Perlaki) is an inspiring woman, to show what she has been through and still talk about love … it’s totally inspiring. It is amazing for her to not have hatred and not be miserable,” said WRHS Principal Dr. Ronald J. Frederick.

“You are an inspiration to us, to have that outlook on life to inspire us. I hope we can walk away and have the same compassion and understanding as you. You are a wonderful woman,” Frederick said.

Judith and Lawrence have been visiting schools for 15 years sharing Judith’s story. “This is good therapy for her. She enjoys that the (children) get something out of it,” Lawrence said. They normally visit around 12 to 15 schools a year and only require that the students have a background in the subject prior to the presentation.

Eleventh graders Ashley Griffith, Melissa Hussey, Danielle Martino and Riana Munina who were attending the presentation said they felt touched. “It was a good experience to have someone who has been through it, instead of reading about it. It was emotional, and we felt we learned a lot more,” one student said.

Because Gypsies’ “skin tones could not be captured accurately in photographs.” Yeah, right.

So besides being the busiest physician in history, Mengele was commissioning jews to produce artwork?

Now old jewess Babbitt needs money from us to help her get the paintings back since the Auschwitz Museum is claiming the paintings as their property. She has been battling for 10 years to get the paintings back. Elie Wiesel is going to help her though.

A portrait of survival: Students take up artist’s fight to bring home Holocaust paintings

At 86, Holocaust survivor Dina Babbitt recently found herself in an unusual place: high school.

Before her, hundreds of students sat quietly in Palo Alto High School’s Haymarket Theatre. Babbitt was on stage, her petite frame and vibrant red hair illuminated by the auditorium’s spotlight, her hands gently clasped in her lap.

Accustomed to speaking Czech, she struggled at times to find the right words in English. Still, the students sat in silence.

At one time, Babbitt and her saga had been simply a class project. Now she was very, very real.

David Rapaport’s history students are Babbitt’s newest allies in her three-decades-long battle with the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland.

Languishing on the museum’s premises are several original paintings that Babbitt created for Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. The artwork — portraits of Gypsy, or Roma, victims — kept Babbitt and her mother, Johanna Gottlieb, alive during the Holocaust.

Officials at the Auschwitz Museum, however, claim the portraits are museum property. They won’t release them to Babbitt, despite the fact that the museum is only displaying reproductions of the portraits, while the originals sit in storage.

“Everyone in my family exists today because of these paintings,” Babbitt, who now lives in Santa Cruz, told the students March 5. “They need to be somewhere safe where my kids, grandchildren and the public will be able to visit them.”

Rapaport’s students have pledged to help Babbitt obtain her artwork from the museum. The artist first spoke to his classes two years ago, and Rapaport felt her struggle would make a good class project.

“Her story is so touching,” said 16-year-old Talia Brody. “Growing up, I heard about my own relatives in the Holocaust, but I never had the chance to see a survivor in person. I’m never going to forget this.”

For the class project, the teens are sending letters and e-mails to the museum, and they plan to publish a pamphlet about Babbitt’s ordeal. Ultimately, Rapaport wants Babbitt’s narrative integrated into the ninth-grade history curriculum.

“ ‘Six million’ is a number that is hurting our ability to tell the story of the Holocaust,” Rapaport said. “It limits our understanding when we lose the narrative. You have to build a connection to current injustices like Dina’s story.

“It doesn’t always have a happy ending, but that doesn’t mean the fight isn’t worth fighting.”

Wedged in a cattle car with her mother and 2,500 others, Babbitt, then a 19-year-old art student from Prague, arrived at Auschwitz in September 1943. She was stripped of her clothes and belongings, and given an oversized brown dress that drooped on her slender body. She tied a small piece of rope around her waist to prevent the garment from slipping off.

When Babbitt’s mother caught a glimpse of her daughter, she laughed and said that she looked like a Franciscan monk. It would be one of the few lighthearted moments the pair would share.

In Auschwitz, Babbitt saw people willing to help one another stay alive. She spoke to the Palo Alto students of young individuals whose strength, compassion and bravery gave her hope that good could exist among such evil.

“The way she talked about the people she knew and almost started crying was so powerful,” said Meredith Fitch, 16. “Seeing her eyes and being able to hug her made it so real.”

One of the people Babbitt spoke about was Fredie Hirsch, her former youth group leader. He arranged for the interned children to have their own barracks by telling the SS men that it would be easier to control them in a confined space. He then asked Babbitt to paint a scene to brighten up the barracks’ dingy walls.

“We weren’t allowed to sneeze, but he wanted me to paint something,” Babbitt recalled. “There were no trees, no blades of grass, no birds, no flowers. So I painted something cheerful for the children to look at.”

The mural Babbitt created was a scene inspired by “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” a 1937 movie she snuck in to watch countless times after Jews were banned from theaters. On the walls of the barracks, Babbitt replicated the beloved characters to the delight of the children.

Shortly thereafter, in March 1944, an SS man approached Babbitt to ask if she’d painted the wall. When she answered “yes,” Babbitt was immediately hustled into a car and taken to another section of the camp, one filled with Romas. She was sure her life was over.

“I was looking out the window and looking for my mom,” she said. “I wanted to wave to her one last time.”

But what Babbitt thought was a death sentence may have saved her life.

Babbitt’s artwork had caught the attention of Mengele, the notorious “Angel of Death,” who was stationed at Auschwitz. He commissioned her to paint portraits of Roma prisoners, whose skin tones could not be captured accurately in photographs.

In a small room with two chairs — a tablet and watercolors resting on one, her subject placed on the other — Babbitt started to paint.

As soon as she completed the last brush stroke, Mengele asked for a new portrait. Babbitt plucked young girls from the camp and brought them to her makeshift studio, where she painted one stoic face after another.

“I met an incredibly beautiful young girl with a blue scarf named Celine,” Babbitt said. “She looked like a Gypsy madonna. I found out that she had just lost her baby. At two months old, the baby starved to death.”

During her time in the studio, Babbitt asked Mengele if her mother could be transferred to the camp. The doctor obliged, and the two were reunited.

In the end, all of the camp’s Roma prisoners were killed, including the 11 whose portraits Babbitt painted. Babbitt and her mother survived internment in two more concentration camps before being liberated in May 1945.

After the war, Babbitt pursued work as an animator in Paris before coming to America. She married, moved to California and raised two daughters. After a divorce in 1962, Babbitt returned to work as an animator, on such characters as Tweety Bird and Wile E. Coyote.

In 1973, Babbitt received a letter from the Auschwitz Museum telling her that her portraits had survived. She immediately flew to Poland, excited for her family to see the artwork that had saved her and her mother.

“I held the paintings in my hands and broke down a little bit,” Babbitt said. “They were in cheap little frames with glass. The paper got yellow; otherwise, everything was perfect.”

But when she tried to place her paintings in a briefcase to take home, the museum refused, arguing that they were rare artifacts and important evidence of Nazi genocide.

That was the beginning of Babbitt’s enduring fight. Now, she said, the museum is “counting on me to die.”

“They’re trying to wait me out,” she said. “Pretty soon, I’ll be gone and it can keep the pictures with no problem.”

Several people, in addition to Rapaport’s students, have taken up Babbitt’s cause to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Rabbi Andrew Baker, director of International Jewish Affairs for the American Jewish Committee, has been speaking with the Polish authorities on a private basis to try and secure at least one of the paintings, Rapaport said. Baker has been involved in Babbitt’s case for more than 10 years.

Her story got international attention recently when it was included in the final issue of “Magneto Testament,” a five-part comic book series detailing the experience of the Jewish X-Men character during the Holocaust. The six-page story, “The Last Outrage,” was written by Holocaust historian Rafael Medoff and illustrated by legendary comic artist Neal Adams.

Rapaport recently received word from the archives division of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., that it may be open to include Babbitt’s narrative, specifically the student recording of her talk at Palo Alto High School, in an existing exhibit.

“My hope is for the museum to do this quickly so Dina’s story can take its rightful place in the United States,” Rapaport said.

Elie Wiesel also plans to speak out on her behalf, Babbitt said.

“I feel helpless,” Babbitt said. “This is the feeling when you were in camp and being kept against your will. The people in Auschwitz don’t understand what it would mean for me to hold my paintings in my hands.”

More Tales of the Holohoax

Livia and her family were taken to the gates of hell, Auschwitz. When Eva arrived at the gates of hell she was greeted by the angel of death himself, Dr. Mengele.

The story goes that the Germans immediately gassed everyone under 16 years old at Auschwitz, but Mengele spared her because she “looked Aryan”, and told her to pretend she was 16.

Livia, her mother, and her brother Bubi all survived the “death factory” of Auschwitz. [1] It was a miracle!

“Do you have any lipstick?” was the first thing Livia Bitton-Jackson said to me when we met for our interview. She wanted to look good for the photo, she explained.

It wasn’t just vanity. Once, long ago, her looks saved her life.

“I was 13 when I arrived in Auschwitz. I had long blonde braids and looked Aryan. Mengele beckoned me aside and asked, ‘Are you a Jew?’ I answered yes. ‘How old are you?’ he said and I said 13. ‘From now on you are 16,’ he said and he sent me to the side where those who could live a little longer were sent. Thirteen-year-olds were immediately sent to the gas.”

The hideous memories have not faded although 65 years have passed. “My friends went with their mothers to the gas and looked back at me who had not been sent. You don’t forget those looks,” she says.

Today Bitton-Jackson is professor of Judaic studies and Jewish history in the History Department of Lehman College in New York and the award-winning author of several books. Her latest book, Saving What Remains, tells the story of how she, together with her second husband, Dr. Leonard Jackson, and her mother, who also survived Auschwitz, brought the remains of her grandparents to Israel.

“In 1980 we heard that a new dam was going to be built on the Danube and the whole area, including the Jewish cemetery where my grandparents were buried, would be flooded. My mother, who was 90 at the time, was devastated. She said, ‘My whole family wound up like smoke in Auschwitz, my parents should be swept away by the waters of the Danube?’ She begged us to exhume the bodies and bring them to Jerusalem for burial, and my new book is about that experience.”

From 1945 to 1948 Bitton-Jackson was in a displaced persons camp in Germany, working for the Bricha helping to get immigrants to Palestine. In 1951 she came to the United States, married her first husband who turned out to be abusive, had two children and divorced in 1967.

Livia has a Holocaust Memoir of her own, titled “I Have Lived A Thousand Years: Growing Up In The Holocaust”

Quote from book:

At the moment of her liberation, Elli is approached by a local German woman:

‘We didn’t know anything. We had no idea. You must believe me. Did you have to work hard also?’
‘Yes’ I whisper.
‘At your age, it must’ve been difficult.’
At my age. What does she mean? ‘We didn’t get enough to eat. Because of starvation. Not because of my age.’
‘I meant, it must have been harder for the older people.’
For older people? ‘How old do you think I am?’
She looks at me uncertainly. ‘Sixty? Sixty-two?’
‘Sixty? I am fourteen. Fourteen years old.’
She gives a little shriek and makes the sign of the cross. In horror and disbelief she walks away, and joins the crowd of German civilians near the station house.
So this is liberation . It’s come. I am fourteen years old, and I have lived a thousand years.

[2]

Because the fable is that the Nazis killed all those under 16 or over 40. I guess all these children liberated from Auschwitz just missed going to the gas chambers or the fire pits…

Child survivors of Auschwitz liberatd by the Red Army, January, 1945 1

Abe didn’t see Thomas Buergenthal either, who was 10 when sent to Auschwitz and “miraculously” survived the “death” camp. Maybe Thomas told the Germans he was 16, and they were so stupid they fell for it.

When Abe esacaped from Auschwitz he “didn’t eat or drink for five days”.

Jul. 26–I spent six years in hell,” Abe Price stated, “between the ages of 16 and 22 during the Nazi occupation of Poland.”

Though he is 86 years old, his voice is firm, his eyes ablaze. The tattoo on the inside of his left arm is evidence backing up his statement. B-3266, the number he was given on arrival at Auschwitz. The B, he explains, stands for 200,000.

The pain remains evident 64 years after he escaped his Nazi captors. And it’s there for good reason, as he will tell you.

“I lost 200 members of my own family,” the father of Logansport optometrist Herb Price said during an interview here Thursday.

He was 16 and in high school when the German army invaded Poland Sept. 1, 1939, the event that officially started World War II. His name was Abram Piasecki. He was Jewish and he lived with his parents and four older brothers in Kielce. The city was home to 28,500 Jews in 1941 — one-third of its population.

When he returned after escaping a Nazi death march in January 1945, there were seven.

“It looked like a cemetery,” he said.

The Gestapo confiscated his parents’ shoe factory, which employed 110 people, and their stores.

“They forced us to put the Star of David on our arms,” he said. “My oldest brother went to the Soviet Union because he thought that was discrimination.”

And while he was sent to a Siberian gulag to do forced labor for six years, that brother survived the war.

“My parents, two brothers and their wives, the Nazis killed,” Abe continued.

While living in the large Kielce ghetto, his parents were taken to Treblinka, one of six extermination camps, where they were killed in 1942.

“My next younger brother, he was an attorney in Lithuania,” Abe explained. “He was murdered by Lithuanian Nazis with his wife in Mariampolie on September 1, 1941. That was just a couple months after the Nazis invaded Russia.

“My third brother went with his wife and was taken to Treblinka and died August 24, 1942.”

In 1940, Abe was sent to work on highways, but escaped. In 1941, he escaped again while living in a labor camp and working in a stone quarry.

Abe and his fourth brother, Charles, were living in the little ghetto when three boys came back from Treblinka. “They told us the news of what the Nazis were doing there.”

“My eyes were opened. I then knew the facts of life,” he said. “For the next 2 1/2 years, I knew every day could be my last.”

In 1942, he was picked up again and sent to a woodworking factory. When he escapted that time, however, he was caught.

“A Polish girl helped me, but they arrested four women. I was hiding in the small ghetto. I had a hand gun and wanted to join the small underground,” he recalled. “A fellow recognized me and called the police. I was taken back to the factory and got a bad beating.

“I was taken to the Germans and they interrogated me. I knew three of the women, but I wouldn’t implicate them, so they were set free. I played dumb. They asked me why I escaped. I said I wanted to go home and thought the war was over.”

The Germans began to liquidate the small ghetto in 1943. As Abe and Charles were being led behind a building, Abe saw a number of Ukranians in black uniforms with machine guns and thought they were going to be killed.

“I pulled his sleeve and said ‘run after me,’ but he didn’t,” the Naples, Fla., resident said. Charles was sent to a concentration camp in Germany where he was eventually rescued by American troops.

Abe was eventually sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. That was where he was tattooed with the number.

At Birkenau, 12,000 to 20,000 people died every day. Trainloads of people were brought in boxcars, at least 120 per car, from all over Europe. There was no ventilation, no food and no sanitary facilities. Those who survived the trip were separated by age. Those under 16 and older than 40 were killed with the rest sent to labor camps in the complex.

“The devil himself couldn’t have figured out such hell,” Abe said. “One and a half million Jewish children died there. For three years, I didn’t see a child under 16 or an adult older than 40.”

He was put on a work crew building an oil refinery.

“There were 800 people in this camp that was bordered with high-voltage fence and watchtowers with machine guns,” he said. “We were only there for half the year when they took us on a death march. The Russians were coming and about a week later they freed Auschwitz.”

So, with his friend Ernst Tauber, Abe bolted.

“We were condemned to die until I took the chance. I know we would have died if we had stayed,” said Abe, who weighed just 90 pounds by then due to the Germans’ 300 calorie a day diet.

Sure to stand out in striped uniforms, wood shoes and shaved heads, the two contained their escape to fields.

“We came to a small house about 15 miles from Auschwitz … crawled through a window into the barn and dug our way under the hay,” Abe said. “We didn’t eat or drink for five days. Finally, we decided to knock on the door figuring it was a Polish family.

“The old lady opened the door and invited us in. She had two daughters living with her. Their husbands were in the German army. They were ethnic Germans. They were wonderful people.”

The women attempted to dye their uniforms, but when that didn’t work, they were given some of the husbands’ clothing.

“They could have brought the police. But they gave us hot milk, eggs, bread and butter — food we hadn’t seen in a year. They were afraid the neighbors would see us so they told us we had to leave.”

The women gave them five loads of bread before they left. The eventually came to another farm where a Polish farmer had returned, taking his land back from Nazi farmers.

“We stayed for three days. The SS came to house and was checking IDs. The farmer had one but I didn’t,” he continued. He went to the barn to use the restroom and heard two soldiers saying that he had escaped.

Abe went back in where the SS officer asked where he had been. But, the officer never asked for an ID and didn’t arrest him.

“It was pure luck. I spoke in Polish only so he didn’t know I was Jewish,” he said.

The farm was on the front where the fighting was going on and changed hands three times. But, with the Soviets back for good, Price and Tauber secured a pass from a Soviet officer.

Over the next few days they checked out Auschwitz and Birkenau before making it to Krakow.

Tauber remained in Krakow because his home of Prague was still occupied by Germans. Price headed for Kielce, but only remained there three days.

From “Hitler’s Death Camps” by Konnilyn G. Feig

The Auschwitz-Birkenau crematoria could not handle the amount of jews being gassed with bug spray, so they had to burn the bodies in pits. The diabolical and ingenious Nazis designed the pits so they could collect the boiling human fat draining off, and then they poured it back over the bodies in the pit to keep the fires burning strong. Then, get this, Nazis with flamethrowers were brought in at intervals to burn up any jew body parts that hadn’t totally been consumed by the flames. Later the Germans dug out and “pulverized” the ashes before disposing of them. It’s all true…one of the “few” “eyewitnesses” to survive Auschwitz said so.

Note the source claims it only took half an hour to burn 2-3 jews bundled together in the crematoria. In modern crematoria, it takes around 2 hrs to cremate a body. But as we know, all laws of physics, all logic, and all reason is suspended when discussing the Holy Holohoax.

Kosher source: nizkor

Each day the trains rolled into the camp through the passageway constructed in the far gate, down one of three tracks to the selection platform. As they fell out of the trains, the victims were sent one way or another, with tearful prting scenes. The procession moved to the crematoria yard where the SS told the Jews they were going to take disinfection baths. An orchestra of attractive women played gay tunes from operas and light marches. Then to the dressing room or reception center with numbered clothing pegs drivin into the walls. The SS ordered the victims to undress and to remember their numbers. Sometimes they gave them towels. Then the SS drove the victims through the corridor to the heated gas chamber. The heating was provided not for the comfort of the prisoners but to create a better setting for the evaporation of gas. The gas squads packed the 2,000 victims into the room. From the ceiling hung imitation shower heads. The doors were closed, the air was pumped out, and the gas poured in. Cyclone B, or hydrogen cyanide, is a very poisonous gas that causes death by internal suffocation. In sufficient concentrations, it causes death almost immediately. But the SS did not bother to calculate the proper quantities, so death took anywhere from three to twenty minutes. While the victims were dying, the SS witched through the peepholes.

When they opened the doors, they found the victims in half-sitting positions in a towerlike pile. Most were pink, others were covered with green spots. Some had foam on their lips, while others bleeding from the nose. Many had their eyes open. The majority were packed near the doors. The squads in special clothing moved in with hooks to pull the bodies off of each other.

The SS physicians and scientists monitored the selection and the gassing, watching the procedure through the special airtight door. The doors could not be opened until the doctor gave the sign that all victims were dead. The doctors assumed their monitoring of the killings on a rotating basis.[44]

Two German firms, Tesch/Stabenow and Degesch, produced Cyclone B gas after they acquired the patent from Farben. Tesch supplied two tons a month, and Degesch three quarters of a ton. The firms that produced the gas already had extensive experience in fumigation. “In short, this industry used very powerful gases to exterminate rodents and insects in enclosed spaces; that it should now have become involved in an operation to kill off Jews by the hundreds of thousands is not mere accident.”[45]
After the war the directors of the firms insisted that they had sold their products for fumigation purposes and did not know they were being used on humans. But the prosecutors found letters from Tesch not only offering to supply the gas crystals but also advising how to use the ventilating and heating equipment. Hoss testified that the Tesch directors could not help but know of the use for their product because they sold him enough to annihilate two million people. Two Tesch partners were sentanced to death in 1946 and hanged. The director of Degesch recieved five years in prison.

The scientifically planned crematoria should have been able to handle the total project, but they could not. The whole complex had forty-six retorts, each with the capacity for three to five persons. The burning in a retort lasted about half an hour. It took an hour a day to clean them out. Thus it was theoretically possible to cremate about 12,000 corpses in twenty four hours or 4,380,000 a year. But the well-constructed crematoria fell far behind at a number of camps, and especially at Aschwitz in 1944. In August the total cremation reached a peak one day of 24,000, but still a bottleneck occurred. Camp authorities needed an economic and fast method of corpse disposal, so they again dug six huge pits beside Crematorium Five and reopened old pits in the wood.

Thus, late in 1944, pit burning became the chief method of corpse disposal. The pits had indentations at one end from which human fat drained off. To keep the pits burning, the stokers poured oil, alcohol, and large quantities of boiling human fat over the bodies:

The sizzling fat was scooped out with buckets on a long curved rod and poured all over the pit causing flames to leap up amid much crackling and hissing. . . . The air reeked of oil, fat, benzole and burnt flesh.

Muller described the ghastly scene:

The corpses in the pit looked as if they had been chained together. Tounges of a thousand tiny blue-red flames were licking at them. The fire grew fiercer and flames leapt higher and heigher. Under the ever-increasing heat a few of the dead began to stir, writhing as though with some unbearable pain, arms and legs straining in slow motion, and even their bodies streightening up a little, hesitant and with difficulty, almost as if with their last strength they were trying to rebel against their doom. Eventually the fire became so fierce that the corpses were enveloped by flames. Blisters which had formed on their skin burst one by one. Almost every corpse was covered with black scorch marks and glistening as if it had been greased. The searing heat had burst open their bellies: there was the violent hissing and sputtering of frying in great heat. Boiling fat flowed into the pans on either side of the pit. Fanned by the wind, the flames, dark-red before, now took on a fiery white hue: the corpses were burning so fiercely that they were consumed by their own heat. The process of incineraton took five to six hours. What was left barely filled a third of the pit. The shiny whitish-grey surface was strewn with countless skulls.[46]

At intervals, flamethrowers were brought in to destroy the rotten remains. In the center of Nazi industrial might it was the open pits that finally broke the bottleneck of bodies: a technique from ancient times.

Burning that many bodies produced an enormous quantity of ashes. To finish the task, the labor squad cooled the ashes with water, shoveled out the ashes, piled them in heaps, removed remaining bones and limbs with special tools, reburnt the limbs, pulverized the ashes, and buried them in pits or threw them into the marshes. Later they threw the ashes into the Vistula and Solo rivers. A small, carefully sifted quantity was kept in a shed. Sometimes families were notified of the death of their loved ones and in return for money they would recieve urns filled with the ashes.[47]

The Holocaust: A Student’s Guide


by Jim Kerr

Abraham Foxman – director of Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith – Frontline – January 1994

The results of this survey show that the brainwashing currently taking place in British schools regarding the Holocaust™, isn’t working. This outcome will have surely delivered a blow to the myriad of Holocaust propagandists who, despite their best efforts, are evidently not succeeding in their mission objective of keeping alive the main raison d’être for the Zionist state of Israel.

In order to perpetuate the Holocaust myth, Jewish propagandists and their sympathisers are compelled to use the state education system to implant their propaganda in the minds of young British students because the seemingly endless list of Holocaust ‘survivors’ aren’t going to be surviving for much longer. And when these ‘survivors’ do finally depart this mortal coil, so too does their ‘testimony’. Very soon, there will be no more Holocaust ‘survivors’ left alive.

Auschwitz though, will be preserved at any cost. The Shoah must go on. You can bet your last shekel that this dilapidated labour camp and tourist attraction will remain standing so that young British students can visit and see for themselves the gas chamber and crematorium 1, both of which are shown to visitors as evidence of the ‘mass extermination’ of Jews that supposedly took place there. It is extremely doubftul though, whether young British students and tourists will be told that these particular sections of the labour camp were built AFTER the second world war had ended. In 2006, the International Auschwitz Council decided to modernise what they say is a 51-year-old exhibition at the Auschwitz labour camp so to prevent the ruins of gas chambers from sinking into the ground. Do the math!

I wonder what answers would be forthcoming if one were to assemble a group of schoolkids and ask them if they knew that the Nazis made soap out of Jews, if they were aware of lampshades having been made from the skin of Jews, or if they had ever heard of hair shaven from prisoners at Auschwitz being used to make textiles. I also wonder what response would be given if one where to ask whether they believed the Anne Frank diary to be true, or just another Holocaust myth. Anyone reading this piece who might have previously believed any of these hoaxes, or in the mythical holocaust itself, can always blame their imagination for the lapse.

Some pro-Israel gay Canadian named Fred states in his blog that education in the UK is “getting worse by the minute”, and advocates Holocaust ‘education’. Although the British education system does indeed have many shortcomings, the results of the poll undertaken by the London Jewish Cultural Centre indicate that those who are pushing Jewish propaganda on our kids via Holocaust ‘education’ aren’t succeeding in getting their message across. Whether this is directly attributable to the inherent failings of the state education system, or down to young Britons being completely uninterested in events that occurred over sixty years ago is a moot point, although I’d bet on the latter scenario being the case.

Fred is right to advocate Holocaust education. Our children need to learn about how questioning the holocaust came to be considered a thought-crime. They need to learn why it is not against the law for anyone to deny that nineteen hijackers commandeered two passenger jets and flew them into the World Trade Centre, or for anyone to deny that American astronauts landed on the moon. Our kids need to learn why it is not a crime to deny the existence of God almighty, but a crime against God to deny the Holocaust. They need to learn why Holocaust thought-crime laws exist in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and – quite possibly in the future – here in Britain too. British schoolkids need to know why men like Ernst Zundel are imprisoned for speaking the truth while frauds like Elie Wiesel are given a platform and respectability. They need to learn why liars like Herman Rosenblat go free while those who speak the truth go to jail.

If we are to teach our children in a scholarly, academic fashion, then we must ensure that they learn to study competing arguments, and to weigh-up the evidence presented in each before reaching any conclusions. The presentation of one argument to the exclusion of all others is not education but indoctrination. If the horrors of the second world war are to be fully understood, then the full story has to be told. It wasn’t just Jews who suffered, although one could be forgiven for thinking otherwise since this is where all the focus is directed. What about the Armenian holocaust, the Ukranian holocaust and the Cambodian Holocaust? What about the German Holocaust? What of the Indian Holocaust? And what about the murder of millions of Christians and gentiles in Russia and Eastern Europe by Judaic Communists? Did the victims of these Holocausts not suffer?

Given that the world has not long emerged from a century of Holocausts, one must ask why all the aforementioned Holocausts have been omitted from the national curriculum. Do these glaring omissions not constitute Holocaust denial? Why has Jewish suffering been given an elevated status? Abraham Foxham, director of the Anti-Defamation League provides the answer.

According to Foxman, the Holocaust is “something different.” For Foxman, the Holocaust “is not simply one example of genocide but a near successful attempt on the life of God’s chosen children and thus, on God Himself.” In Foxman’s perverted view, Jewish suffering during the second world war is a somehow unique phenomenon. It is not. 56,125,262 people lost their lives as a consequence of world war two. Even if we accept six million as a true figure for the amount of Jewish losses, that figure would represent just over 9% of the death count. Foxman pays great disrespect to the the gentiles whose lives were claimed by the second world war when he claims that Jewish losses were “something different”. They were not.

Foxman’s claim of the Jews being God’s “chosen” people is bogus. Only 20% of world Jewry has the right to legitimately call itself Jewish. The overwhelming majority of ‘Jews‘ are actually the descendants of eastern Europeans, and not descendants of Abraham, but don’t expect young British students to ever be taught anything about four-fifths of modern-day Jews being the descendants of the Khazars – converts to Judaism. Just as Jews consider the Holocaust to be “something different”, they also perceive themselves with same warped vision. The Judaic claim of them being “God’s chosen people” implies that God has given the Jews a privileged position which places them at the very top of the human pecking-order. But this falsehood is easily debunked.

Since the Jews are not a race, how then has it been possible for their ‘special’ status to have been maintained over several millenniums? Having already eliminated the option of this having been achieved genetically, and since the state of Israel did not exist prior to its’ creation by UN charter in 1948, the only other possibile explanation that remains is that the Jews have preserved their ‘special’ status over the course of thousands of years via religious means. However, the Mizrahi Jews – otherwise known as Oriental Jews – are the direct descendants of the Jews who existed in biblical times, and since Palestinians believe that they are descended from these ancient Jews; if it is true that the ‘chosen people’ status is genetically transmitted, then the Palestinians are the chosen ones, not the Jews. The claim of the Jews being “God’s chosen people” is demonstrably false, and something that young British students need to learn.

Although the standard of numerical skills being taught in British schools is undeniably quite atrocious, Jewish maths is more atrocious still. In January 1988, a German Television broadcast, “Vor Vierzig Jahren”, contained an entire newsreel titled “Welt im Filmthat”. This German newsreel had been released forty years earlier, and contained a report which focused on the closing scenes of the Krakow Auschwitz Trial that took place in the latter part of 1947. The report stated that: “altogether nearly 300,000 people from the most different nations died in the Auschwitz concentration camp.” The plaque pictured below was on display at the Auschwitz labour camp between 1948 and 1989. The obvious question here is: where did the extra 3.7 million dead Jews appear from?

And the obvious question that one must ask after observing the plaque pictured below – presently on display at Auschwitz – is: why have two and-a-half million dead Jews disappeared?

Although this plaque commemorates 1.5 million Jews who are said to have died at Auschwitz, in 1996, however, Polish authorities reduced their estimate of the Auschwitz death count from four million to just over one million although the Polish government has since revised the figure yet again and upped it to 1.5 million. How ironic it is that Holocaust revisionists are persecuted while revsionism has quite evidently been undertaken by ‘official’ revisionists. So, how many Jews did actually perish at Auschwitz? Decide for yourself after perusing the information to be found here. You can choose any number between 135,000 and 9,000,000 including that elusive six million figure.

It can be seen that the Holocaust ‘education’ young British students are currently receiving is based on weird science and flawed arithmetic. The knowledge being imparted to young British students in respect of the Holocaust is not being transmitted via education but via indoctrination. For the Holocaust hoax to continue, the Jews and the lackeys who serve their agenda must target young minds early. “Get’ em young, keep ‘em for life” is the means to this particular end. It is encouraging though, to discover that the Jewish propaganda being implanted in young, fertile British minds is not being fully absorbed by the target audience. Revisionists can draw hope and endeavour to make sure that the truth prevails. Who knows, maybe at some future point we’ll be hearing of how kids think Auschwitz is a type of hoax.
