1. What proof exists
that the Nazis killed six million Jews?
None. All we have is postwar testimony, mostly
of individual “survivors.” This testimony is contradictory, and very few claim
to have actually witnessed any “gassing.” There are no contemporaneous
documents or hard evidence: no mounds of ashes, no crematories capable of
disposing of millions of corpses, no “human soap,” no lamp shades made of human
skin, and no credible demographic statistics.
2. What evidence
exists that six million Jews were not killed by the Nazis?
Extensive forensic, demographic, analytical and
comparative evidence demonstrates the impossibility of such a figure. The
widely repeated “six million” figure is an irresponsible exaggeration.
3. Did Simon
Wiesenthal state in writing that “there were no extermination camps on German
soil”?
Yes. The famous “Nazi hunter” wrote this in
Stars and Stripes, Jan. 24,
1993. He also claimed that “gassings” of Jews took place only in Poland.
4. If Dachau was in
Germany, and even Wiesenthal says that it was not an extermination camp, why do
many American veterans say it was an extermination camp?
After the Allies captured Dachau, many GIs and others were led through the
camp and shown a building alleged to have been a “gas chamber.” The mass media
widely, but falsely, continues to assert that Dachau was a “gassing” camp.
5. What about Auschwitz? Is there any proof that gas chambers were used
to kill people there?
No. Auschwitz,
captured by the Soviets, was modified after the war, and a room was
reconstructed to look like a large “gas chamber.” After America’s leading
expert on gas chamber construction and design, Fred Leuchter, examined this and
other alleged Auschwitz gassing facilities, he stated that it was an
“absurdity” to claim that they were, or could have been, used for executions.
6. If Auschwitz wasn’t a “death camp,” what was its true
purpose?
It was an internment center and part of a
large-scale manufacturing complex. Synthetic fuel was produced there, and its
inmates were used as a workforce.
7. Who set up the
first concentration camps?
During the Boer War (1899-1902), the British
set up what they called “concentration camps” in South Africa to hold Afrikaner
women and children. Approximately 30,000 died in these hell-holes, which were
as terrible as German concentration camps of World War II.
8. How did German
concentration camps differ from American “relocation” camps in which
Japanese-Americans were interned during WWII?
The only significant difference was that the
Germans interned persons on the basis of being real or suspected security
threats to the German war effort, whereas the Roosevelt
administration interned persons on the basis of race alone.
9. Why did the German
government intern Jews in camps?
It considered Jews a direct threat to national
security. (Jews were overwhelmingly represented in Communist subversion.)
However, all suspected security risks – not just Jews – were in danger of internment.
10. What hostile
measure did world Jewry undertake against Germany as early as 1933?
In March 1933, international Jewish
organizations declared an international boycott of German goods.
11. Did the Jews of
the world “declare war on Germany”?
Yes. Newspapers around the world reported this.
A front-page headline in the London Daily Express (March 24, 1933), for
example, announced “Judea Declares War on Germany.”
12. Was this before or
after the “death camp” stories began?
This was years before the “death camp” stories,
which began in 1941-1942.
13. What nation is
credited with being the first to practice mass civilian bombing?
Britain— on May 11, 1940.
14. How many “gas
chambers” to kill people were there at Auschwitz?
None.
15. How many Jews were
living in the areas that came under German control during the war?
Fewer than six million.
16. If the Jews of
Europe were not exterminated by the Nazis, what happened to them?
After the war millions of Jews were still alive
in Europe. Hundreds of thousands (perhaps as
many as one and a half million) had died of all causes during the war. Others
had emigrated to Palestine,
the United States,
and other countries. Still more Jews left Europe after the war.
17. How many Jews fled
or were evacuated to deep within the Soviet Union?
More than two million fled or were evacuated by
the Soviets in 1941-1942. These Jews thus never came under German control.
18. How many Jews
emigrated from Europe prior to the war, thus putting them outside of German
reach?
Perhaps a million (not including those absorbed
by the USSR).
19. If Auschwitz was
not an extermination camp, why did the commandant, Rudolf Höss, confess that it
was?
He was tortured by British military police, as
one of his interrogators later admitted.
20. Is there any
evidence of American, British and Soviet policy to torture German prisoners in
order to exact “confessions” for use at the trials at Nuremberg and elsewhere?
Yes. Torture was extensively used to produce
fraudulent “evidence” for the infamous Nuremberg
trials, and in other postwar “war crimes” trials.
21. How does the
Holocaust story benefit Jews today?
It helps protect Jews as a group from
criticism. As a kind of secular religion, it provides an emotional bond between
Jews and their leaders. It is a powerful tool in Jewish money-raising
campaigns, and is used to justify US aid to Israel.
22. How does it
benefit the State of Israel?
It justifies the billions of dollars in
“reparations” Germany
has paid to Israel
and many individual “survivors.” It is used by the Zionist/Israeli lobby to
dictate a pro-Israel American foreign policy in the Middle
East, and to force American taxpayer aid to Israel,
totaling billions of dollars per year.
23. How is it used by
many Christian clergymen?
The Holocaust story is cited to justify the Old
Testament notion of Jews as a holy and eternally persecuted “Chosen People.”
24. How did it benefit
the Communists?
It diverted attention from Soviet war mongering
and atrocities before, during and after the Second World War.
25. How does it
benefit Britain?
In much the same way it benefited the Soviet Union.
26. Is there any
evidence that Hitler ordered mass extermination of Jews?
No.
27. What kind of gas
was used in German wartime concentration camps?
Hydrocyanic gas from “Zyklon B,” a commercial
pesticide that was widely used throughout Europe.
28. For what purpose
was “Zyklon B” manufactured?
It was a pesticide used to fumigate clothing
and quarters to kill typhus-bearing lice and other pests.
29. Was this product
suitable for mass extermination?
No. If the Nazis had intended to use poison gas
to exterminate people, far more efficient products were available.Zyklon is a
slow-acting fumigation agent.
30. How long does it
take to ventilate an area after fumigation with Zyklon B?
Normally about 20 hours. The whole procedure is
very complicated and dangerous. Gas masks must be used, and only trained
technicians are employed.
31. Auschwitz
commandant Hoess said that his men would enter the “gas chambers” to remove
bodies ten minutes after the victims had died. How do you explain this?
It can’t be explained because had they done so
they would have suffered the same fate as the “gassing” victims.
32. Höss said in his
“confession” that his men would smoke cigarettes as they pulled bodies out of
gas chambers, ten minutes after gassing. Isn’t Zyklon B explosive?
Yes. The Hoess confession is obviously false.
33. What was the exact
procedure the Nazis allegedly used to exterminate Jews?
The stories range from dropping gas canisters
into a crowded room from a hole in the ceiling, to piping gas through shower
heads, to “steam chambers,” to “electrocution” machinery. Millions are alleged
to have been killed in these ways.
34. How could a mass
extermination program have been kept secret from those who were scheduled to be
killed?
It couldn’t have been kept secret. The fact is
that there were no mass gassings. The extermination stories originated as
wartime atrocity propaganda.
35. If Jews scheduled
for execution knew the fate in store for them, why did they go along with the Germans
without resisting?
They didn’t fight back because they did not
believe there was any intention to kill them.
36. About how many
Jews died in the concentration camps?
Competent estimates range from about 300,000 to
500,000.
37. How did they die?
Mainly from recurring typhus epidemics that
ravaged war-torn Europe during the war, as
well as from starvation and lack of medical attention during the final months
of the conflict, when virtually all road and rail transportation had been
bombed out by the Allies.
38. What is typhus?
This disease always appears when many people
are jammed together under unsanitary conditions. It is carried by lice that
infest hair and clothes. Ironically, if the Germans had used more Zyklon B,
more Jews might have survived the camps.
39. What is the
difference if six million or 300,000 Jews died during the Second World War?
5,700,000.
40. Some Jewish “death
camp” survivors say they saw bodies being dumped into pits and burned. How much
fuel would have been required for this?
A great deal more than the Germans had access
to, as there was a substantial fuel shortage during the war.
41. Can bodies be
burned in pits?
No. It is impossible for human bodies to be
totally consumed by flames in this manner because of lack of oxygen.
42. Holocaust
historians claim that the Nazis were able to cremate bodies in about ten
minutes. How long does it take to incinerate one body, according to
professional crematory operators?
About an hour and a half, although the larger
bones require further processing afterwards.
43. Why did the German
concentration camps have crematory ovens?
To dispose efficiently and sanitarily of the corpses
of those who had died.
44. Given a 100
percent duty cycle of all the crematories in all the camps in German-controlled
territory, what is the maximum number of corpses it would have been possible to
incinerate during the entire period such crematories were in operation?
About 430,600.
45. Can a crematory
oven be operated 100 percent of the time?
No. Fifty percent of the time is a generous
estimate (12 hours per day). Crematory ovens have to be cleaned thoroughly and
regularly when in heavy operation.
46. How much ash is
left from a cremated corpse?
After the bone is all ground down, about a shoe
box full.
47. If six million
people had been incinerated by the Nazis, what happened to the ashes?
That remains to be “explained.” Six million
bodies would have produced many tons of ashes, yet there is no evidence of any
large ash depositories.
48. Do Allied wartime
aerial reconnaissance photos of Auschwitz
(taken during the period when the “gas chambers” and crematoria were supposedly
in full operation) show evidence of extermination?
No. In fact, these photographs do not even
reveal a trace of the enormous amount of smoke that supposedly was constantly
over the camp, nor do they show evidence of the “open pits” in which bodies
were allegedly burned.
49. What was the main
provision of the German “Nuremberg
Laws” of 1935?
They forbid marriage and sexual relations
between Germans and Jews, similar to laws existing in Israel today.
50. Were there any
American precedents for the Nuremberg
Laws?
Years before Hitler’s Third Reich, most states
in the USA
had enacted laws prohibiting marriage between persons of different races.
51. What did the
International Red Cross have to report with regard to the “Holocaust” question?
An official report on the visit of an IRC
delegation to Auschwitz in September 1944
pointed out that internees were permitted to receive packages, and that rumors
of gas chambers could not be verified.
52. What was the role
of the Vatican
during the time six million Jews were allegedly being exterminated?
If there had been an extermination plan, the Vatican would
most certainly have been in a position to know about it. But because there was
none, the Vatican
had no reason to speak out against it, and didn’t.
53. What evidence is
there that Hitler knew of an on-going Jewish extermination program?
None.
54. Did the Nazis and
the Zionists collaborate?
As early as 1933, Hitler’s government signed an
agreement with the Zionists permitting Jews to emigrate from Germany to Palestine, taking large
amounts of capital with them.
55. How did Anne Frank
die?
After surviving internment in Auschwitz,
she succumbed to typhus in the Bergen-Belsen
camp, just a few weeks before the end of the war. She was not gassed.
56. Is the Anne Frank
Diary genuine?
No. Evidence compiled by Dr. Robert Faurisson
of France
establishes that the famous diary is a literary hoax.
57. What about the
familiar photographs and film footage taken in the liberated German camps
showing piles of emaciated corpses? Are these faked?
Photographs can be faked, but it’s far easier
merely to add a misleading caption to a photo or commentary to a piece of
footage. Piles of emaciated corpses do not mean that these people were “gassed”
or deliberately starved to death. Actually, these were tragic victims of raging
epidemics or of starvation due to a lack of food in the camps toward the end of
the war.
58. Who originated the
term “genocide”?
Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jew, in a book
published in 1944.
59. Are films such as
“Schindler’s List” or “The Winds of War” documentaries?
No. Such films are fictional dramatizations
loosely based on history. Unfortunately, all too many people accept them as
accurate historical representations.
60. How many books
have been published that refute some aspect of the standard “Holocaust” story?
Dozens. More are in production.
61. What happened when
the Institute for Historical Review offered $50,000 to anyone who could prove that
Jews were gassed at Auschwitz?
No proof was submitted as a claim on the
reward, but the Institute was sued for $17 million by former Auschwitz
inmate Mel Mermelstein, who claimed that the reward offer caused him to lose
sleep and his business to suffer, and represented “injurious denial of
established fact.”
62. What about the
charge that those who question the Holocaust story are merely anti-Semitic or
neo-Nazi?
This is a smear designed to draw attention away
from facts and honest arguments. Scholars who refute Holocaust story claims are
of all persuasions and ethnic-religious backgrounds (including Jewish). There
is no correlation between “Holocaust” refutation and anti-Semitism or
neo-Nazism. Increasing numbers of Jewish scholars openly admit the lack of
evidence for key Holocaust claims.
63. What has happened
to “revisionist” historians who have challenged the Holocaust story?
They have been subjected to smear campaigns,
loss of academic positions, loss of pensions, destruction of their property and
physical violence.
64. Has the Institute
for Historical Review suffered any retaliation for its efforts to uphold the
right of freedom of speech and academic freedom?
The IHR had been bombed three times, and was
completely destroyed on July
4, 1984, in a criminal arson attack. Numerous death threats by
telephone have been received. Media coverage of the IHR has been overwhelmingly
hostile.
65. Why is there so
little publicity for the revisionist view?
Because for political reasons the Establishment
does not want any in-depth discussion about the facts surrounding the Holocaust
story.
66. Where can I get
more information about the “other side” of the Holocaust story, as well as
facts concerning other aspects of World War II historical revisionism?
The Institute for Historical Review, P.O. Box 2739, Newport
Beach, CA 92659,
carries a wide variety of books, cassette and video tapes on significant
historical subjects.
