For a half century, all of
humanity knew, or thought it knew, that something uniquely cruel took place
during WWII, when Germany was fighting nearly every other major country in the
world.
Of course, it is true that
atrocities were in fact committed during the war – atrocities which were
unprecedented in their degree of unique cruelty. These atrocities were as
follows:
– The merciless, systematic
terror bombing by the Western Allies [jews] of German and Japanese cities. For
the first time in the history of the civilized world, a belligerent sought
openly and without pretense to kill or maim the greatest possible number of
human beings, including the elderly, women and children, without any military
justification, and to destroy as many cultural monuments as possible. At
Dresden, in February 1945, when the war was all but over, 250,000(++) human
beings were burned alive or buried under the ruins of their houses in a single
night. In August of the same year, the US dropped the atomic bombs on a Japan
which was already prepared to capitulate;
– The mass murder of prisoners
of war. In this unique atrocity, the Allies deliberately allowed enormous
numbers of prisoners of war to starve to death or to die of exhaustion. It is
recognized that 1.5 million German prisoners in the USSR died this way. That the
Western democracies cold-bloodedly permitted at least 800,000, possibly more
than a million, prisoners of war to die of hunger, was hushed up in shame for
decades, and first came to light through the research of the courageous
historian James Bacque;
– The greatest mass expulsion
in human history, far exceeding anything occurring in past centuries. Between
1944 and 1949, approximately 15 million Germans were driven from the homes in
which their ancestors had lived peacefully for many generations, and were
thrown onto the roads under conditions so inhumane that Europe had not seen the
like since the Thirty Years War. These mass expulsions – unique in their
cruelty – caused two million deaths from cold, exhaustion, starvation, and
deliberate massacres.
And yet – all these horrors
are hardly even noticed when there is talk of WWII atrocities. When people talk
of THE unique crime of the century – a crime which staggers the imagination –
we immediately sense that we are about to hear – once again – of the German
genocide of the jews.
There is only group with
victim status: the Six Million
There is only one scene of any
crime: Auschwitz
There is only one group of
unique criminals: the “Nazis”
There is only one new,
horrifying weapon: the “gas chambers”.
These concepts are deeply
anchored in the sub-consciousness of all of humanity; they are drummed into our
brains, on television, radio, and the press almost daily; they appear in all
the history books, at least in the Western world.
These four concepts – Six
Million, Auschwitz, “Nazis,” and Gas Chambers – are the concrete symbol of
Absolute Evil in the minds of all humanity. And since every decent person must
naturally abhor Evil, innumerable numbers of decent people therefore believe
themselves morally compelled to hate, or at least to mistrust, the nationality
of people who were responsible for this unique crime – the German people, who
were, at that time, almost 100% in favour of Hitler and the National Socialist
government, a fact which is beyond dispute.
It appears no less logical
that the victims of this absolute evil, the jews, should, by the same logic, be
treated with the greatest possible sympathy and respect. Of course, this
includes the decency of refraining from asking for any proof of their
unspeakable suffering – these people who are so deserving of our sympathy, who
have suffered so unspeakably. Every decent human being must listen with the
greatest solemnity, the profoundest grief, and without the slightest
questioning, to all the details of the monstrous tale of the assembly-line
extermination of an entire people, then cry out in righteous indignation: Never
Again!
This assembly-line style
extermination of human beings is commonly known as the “Holocaust”, from the
Greek word for “sacrifice by fire” (holos = entirely; kaein = to burn). Another
term, which is less commonly used, but which is preferred by jews, is “Shoa”
(Hebrew for “catastrophe”).
The terms “Holocaust” and
“Shoa” are an indictment of the German people and its ruling government from
1933 to 1945, an indictment which, in terms of severity, has never been made
against any other people or government at any time in history.
This indictment runs as
follows:
In the midst of the 20th
century, in the heart of Europe, the Germans, over a period of three years
(from the autumn of 1941 until the autumn of 1944), murdered five to six
million jewish men, women, and children, almost unnoticed by the world. This
genocide is said to have been carried out based on a diabolical plan, carefully
hatched by the NS government. The majority of the victims – from slightly less
than three million to more than five million, depending on which historian you
believe – were killed with a previously unknown weapon, i.e., gas chambers (with
gas vans playing second fiddle). These mass murders are supposed to have taken
place in six extermination camps located on Polish territory, namely Auschwitz,
Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Chelmno. The last mentioned camp used gas
vans; the five others used stationary gas chambers. Some of the bodies were
burned in crematoria, and some in the open, leaving not a rack behind.
The Germans also liquidated
between one and two million jews in Russia, some of them in gas vans, some by
mass shooting. These massacres were committed mostly by a special murder squad,
the “Einsatzgruppen”.
After that come another half
million or more jews who are said to have died in ghettos and work camps from
mistreatment, malnutrition, and exhaustion. These are, of course, included
among the number of jewish victims, almost Six Million – (three to five million
or more gassed in the six death camps, plus one to two million shot in Russia
or murdered in gas vans; plus at least half a million more, from more or less
“natural causes”) – but who were not the result of a deliberate policy of
extermination; non-jewish prisoners also died in great numbers for the same
reasons. Although these jews cannot really be included as “Holocaust victims”,
they are included among them for the sake of simplicity.
Morally, according to half a
century of deafening media propaganda, the Holocaust cannot be equated with any
other atrocity in history. Stalin may have killed tens of millions more than
Hitler, but he never ordered an entire race wiped out without a trace, without
any examination of individual cases. The Germans didn’t commit the Holocaust
because they considered the jews a real or potential threat, but solely and
merely because the victims were jews. The Germans, according to their accusers,
exterminated an entire people out of pure RACIAL HATRED. This racial hatred was
the reason why they killed not just the men, the fighting-fit, but the elderly,
women and children, including the newborn – everyone who could be called a
“jew”.
Compared to the “Holocaust”,
all other “’Nazi’ crimes” pale into insignificance!
a) “The three million
non-jewish Poles”
In addition to the genocide of
the jews, the Third Reich is accused of other gigantic crimes.
For example, the claim is
sometimes made in the media that the National Socialists killed three million
non-jewish Poles. The unprejudiced observer will perhaps wonder as to the
circumstances under which so many Poles are said to have been killed. Between
the end of the short German-Polish war of September 1939 and the uprising in
the Warsaw Ghetto of 1944, which cost 180,000 victims, there were, of course,
attacks by the Resistance resulting in German reprisals, but there was no
large-scale conflict. There is no allegation of any mass-extermination of non-jewish
Poles in the camps. How are the three million Poles supposed to have been
killed? No Western historian has ever made a serious attempt to establish the
figure. 25
b) “The 500,000 gypsies”
Claims of the alleged 500,000
gypsies exterminated by the Germans are heard with incomparably greater
frequency than the claims of the three million non-jewish Poles. With regards
to the extermination of the gypsies, Sebastien Haffner, in a book praised to
the skies by the media, states as follows:
“After 1941, the gypsies in
the occupied territories were exterminated just as systematically as the jews
who lived there. This mass murder has… hardly ever been researched in detail
since that time. People didn’t talk about it when it was going on; even today,
people don’t know much about it, except that it took place. Documents are rare.
Estimates of the number of victims range up to 500,000.”
According to the above, the
genocide of the gypsies has hardly been ever researched and the documents are
“rare” (i.e., there aren’t any), but we still know that the extermination took
place!
That this slaughter is the
purest fantasy, has been proven by Udo Walendy in great detail. The edition of
Walendy’s periodical Historische Tatsachen which discussed this topic was
prohibited, although the authorities could not point to a single sentence in it
which was not true.
The alleged genocide of the
gypsies has not penetrated the public consciousness as deeply as the jewish
Holocaust. In monuments to the “Nazi” victims, the “Sinti und Roma” – the
politically correct expression for the gypsies – appear as “also rans” at best.
The gypsies themselves, of course, make energetic attempts to obtain
compensation from Bonn, but the sums obtained thus far have been monetarily
insignificant; this is doubtlessly due to the general lack of political and
economic clout possessed by gypsies.
In early 1997, the historical
researchers threw in the towel. The Frankfurter Rundschau of 13 February 1997
(p. 7), in particular, reports, with reference to the historian Michael
Zimmerman:
“Only after a thorough study
of the documents was it discovered that the number of murdered Sinti und Roma
was significantly lower than the figure current in the media: 50,000 instead of
500,000.”
Please don’t get the idea that
the figure of 500,000 exterminated gypsies was invented and peddled by
lie-historians, lie-politicians, and the lie-media for fifty years, without the
slightest proof; instead, it arose spontaneously, a product of spontaneous
generation, after which it merely became “current in the media”! Regardless of
this admission from the historians themselves, the mythical 500,000 murdered
gypsies will no doubt continue to stalk the pages of the tabloids of the future
as they did in the past – like ghosts. (That the new figure of 50,000 murdered
Sinti and Roma announced by “historical researchers” lacks even the slightest
trace of proof, goes without saying.)
c) Medical experiments on
human beings
That there were medical
experiments in the NS concentration camps, is undisputed, and it is not our
intention to justify them. But the Eastern and Western conquerors of Germany
have not the slightest right to become indignant about the matter, because they
who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
As shown in detail in the
French newspaper Nouvelle Vision, the Soviets as well as the Americans also
carried out medical experiments on human beings, to an incomparably greater
degree than the National Socialists. The following are only three examples:
– In Kazakhstan in the USSR ,
the Soviets set off 446 atomic bombs. A total of 800 villages were affected by
the radioactive fallout. In many cases, the villagers were forbidden to enter
their houses at the time of the blast, allegedly due to the danger of
collapsing buildings; in reality, this order was given to test the effects of
radioactivity on the victims. According to the Ministry of Health of
Kazakhstan, the life expectancy in the affected areas is now 15 years lower
than the national average;
– Radioactive experiments were
carried out on human beings in the USA as well. In December 1993, the US
authorities admitted that, in Tennessee in the 1940s, 700 pregnant women were
prescribed radioactive pills, exposing the fetus to radioactive radiation. Many
children born to mothers involved in these experiments died prematurely of
cancer. Other radioactive experiments on human beings were performed in Oregon
in 1963;
– In 1954, the first oral
contraceptive developed in the USA was not tested on American women, but on
Puerto Ricans instead. Since animal experimentation had already proven the
pill’s carcinogenic effects, researchers were well aware of the dangers to the
women involved, and therefore chose foreigners as test subjects.
Many more examples could be
cited.
d) Euthanasia
Between 50,000 and 100,000
severely ill patients were killed in Germany after the autumn of 1939 in the
context of the euthanasia programme permitting the killing of physically and
psychically incurably ill. The euthanasia programme was stopped as the result
of protests from the Catholic Bishop Galen and the Evangelical Bishop
Wurm.
Opinion differs as to the
justification for euthanasia. Strict Christians – particularly, Fundamentalists
– reject it on the grounds that human life is to be considered holy and
sacrosanct. Other well-meaning people advocate euthanasia on the grounds that
incurably ill patients can only suffer, constituting a burden to themselves and
their loved ones, and that such a life is unworthy of human beings, a life no
longer worth living. We do not wish to take a position on the matter, but we
wish to point out the following:
– Hundreds of thousands of
healthy children are aborted on “social grounds” in the “democracies” every
year, i.e., they are killed in their mother’s womb, either chopped to bits or
killed with corrosive solutions or acids. Is this any more humane than the
painless killing of much smaller numbers of the incurably ill in the Third
Reich?
– Both passive euthanasia
(failing to take measures to prolong life) and active euthanasia (killing the
sick) are gaining increasingly greater numbers of adherents every day. The
world’s best known advocate of euthanasia is the “Australian” jew, Singer.
Particularly to the forefront in the legalization of euthanasia is the most
“antifascist” country in the world: Holland.
To sum up: the criticisms made
above are insufficient to justify any criminalization of the National Socialist
system, not to mention the German people as a whole. Nor do the murder of the
“three million non-jewish Poles” and the “500,000 gypsies” suffice either,
because these huge massacres are pure products of the imagination. “Medical
experiments on human beings” are insufficient, since the Soviets and Americans
carried out similar practices on a much larger scale. Euthanasia is
insufficient, because it is officially tolerated in several European countries
today – not to mention the fact that it is surely much less heinous than
aborting millions of healthy children, even if we consider euthanasia a
crime.
The Holocaust as a
religion
Claude Lanzmann, producer of
the nine-and-one-half hour film Shoa, has made the following incredibly
revealing statement :
“If Auschwitz is something
other than a horror of history, if it goes beyond the ‘banality of evil’, then
Christianity totters on its foundations. Christ is the Son of God, who went to
the end of the humanly endurable, where he endured the cruelest suffering… If
Auschwitz is true, then there is a human suffering which simply cannot be
compared with that of Christ… In this case, Christ is false, and salvation will
not come from Him… If the pain of Auschwitz is much more extreme than that of
the Apocalypse, much more horrifying than that described by John in the
Apocalypse (since the Apocalypse can be described as, and even resembles, a
huge, Hollywood-style spectacular, while Auschwitz is inexpressible and indescribable),
then the Book of the Apocalypse is false, and the Gospels are false, too.
Auschwitz is the refutation of Christ.”
One could hardly provide a
more drastic demonstration that, for increasingly greater numbers of jews, the
Holocaust has become a genuine religion. Perhaps two jews out of three jews
believe in God, but 99.9% of them believe in the gas chambers. If this murky
religion were restricted to jews, that would be their own affair; basically, it
would be their problem, not ours; yet ominously, increasingly shameless
attempts have been made in recent years to force this jewish Holocaust religion
upon non-jews by criminal law.
If “Auschwitz” is true,
salvation will not come from Christ, says Lanzmann – so where is it going to
come from, then? Quite obviously from the jews, who have now been
transubstantiated into a sort of collective Messiah because of Auschwitz! The
28 arch-enemy of the new collective Messiah is therefore the “National
Socialist regime of the gas chambers and the Holocaust” – the incorporation of
Absolute Evil.
The ever-growing numbers of
Holocaust memorials are quite obviously part of this religious – or rather
pseudo-religious – framework. “Doubting the Holocaust” (the official version of
the Holocaust, that is) has, in the meantime, been made punishable by criminal
prosecution in several countries, so that the picture is now complete: as a
religious dogma, the Holocaust must remain exempt from all scientific research
and be taken on faith (or else).
The Swiss writer Arthur Vogt
has described the “Holocaust religion” very perceptively:
“First principle of faith: the
Germans, as a race of criminals, have been cursed with eternal shame… Even
their descendants bear the mark of Cain, merely because they are German… Second
principle: There is only one salvation from this terrible guilt, and that is:
constant acknowledgement and remorse for the crime. That is the reason for all
the memorials and anniversaries… The Holocaust religion recognizes good works:
this is why the German government must support the construction of Israel with
billions of marks in so-called ‘reparations’. Personal atonement is performed
by young Germans – for example, through the activities of the ‘Symbol of
Reconciliation’ – through taking care of the elderly in Israel or rebuilding
crumbling walls at Auschwitz.
“So much money and effort have
been invested in the Holocaust religion, and continue to be invested in it,
that if the factual basis for it were found to be erroneous, it would be an
incredible shock. Yet it is the basis of the founding myth of Israel (and the
BRD); it is the most important founding element in the identity of the jews
today, both believers and non-believers. To point out the existence of
contradictions and errors in the so-called “evidence” is heresy… The Holocaust
religion also has its heretics, whom it persecutes mercilessly. These are the
revisionists, who dare to question the established version of history. They are
slandered and persecuted all over the world, under the influence of powerful
Zionist groups.”
Why nearly everybody believes
in the Holocaust
No doubt the overwhelming
majority of human beings, at least in the Western states, believe in the
official version of the Holocaust for reasons which at first glance appear
entirely plausible:
First, it seems entirely
inconceivable that the media as a whole would be able to spread a story like
that for over 50 years unless there was some truth in the story, at least very
generally. The average citizen, of course, can still imagine that the numbers
of victims may have been exaggerated; but the notion that the gas chamber
story, taken as a whole, could be purely a product of fantasy, is far too
monstrous to consider. In addition, the correctness of the official version of
the Holocaust appears confirmed by three factors:
– the general disappearance of
the jews from several former German-ruled countries, particularly Poland, where
three million jews are acknowledged to have lived in the early 1930s, but where
only a few tens of thousands live today, according to official statistics. So
if they weren’t exterminated, is the question, where did they go?
We will only examine the
demographic aspect of the question at the end of our study; for the moment, we
will consider only one single argument in reply: at the end of WWII, there were
approximately 12 million Germans in the areas east of the Oder and Neisse.
There are only between one and two million there today. Does that really mean
that 10 to 11 million Germans in the Eastern territories were exterminated? Of
course, the answer is no; some of them died during the violence of the
expulsion, of course, but most of them escaped to the West and survived the
war. According to this logic, then, the general disappearance of “Polish” jewry
is no proof that most of the jews in these territories were exterminated. They
could have escaped or emigrated.
– The alleged “innumerable
eyewitness testimonies”. “It may well be”, people cry in profound indignation,
“that a few witnesses may have lied or exaggerated the horrors of the Holocaust,
but all of them? It’s unthinkable!” This argument is based upon a
misunderstanding. There are far fewer witnesses to the extermination of the
jews in the gas chambers than is commonly assumed. Anyone who consults the
standard literature will soon note that, basically, only a handful of witnesses
are quoted: Gerstein, Höss, Broad, Vrba, Mueller, Bendel, Lengyel, Tauber,
Nyiszli, and a few more. Since there are no forensic or documentary proofs for
the mass killings in the gas chambers – as we shall soon show in detail – the
entire Holocaust allegation basically stands or falls with the testimony of
perhaps two dozen standard eyewitnesses. The great majority of the alleged
“innumerable witnesses” only heard of the gas chambers second or third
hand;
– The photos and films. It is
quite true that there are authentic photographs of piles of corpses and living
skeletons from German concentration camps; these photographs were taken after
their liberation by Allied troops. But they are no proof of any systematic
“extermination of the jews”, since even the official version of the story does
not dispute the fact that these dead and dying men were the victims of
starvation and epidemic disease during the chaotic last few months of the
war.
In addition to these authentic
photos, there are a number of grossly falsified photos, which have been
distributed widely for decades. Udo Walendy has helped prove their
inauthenticity.
These manipulations in
themselves, of course, are insufficient to prove that “there wasn’t any
Holocaust”; but they should awaken our suspicion. Why must one have recourse to
such primitive trickery if great quantities of unimpeachable evidence are
available?
The argument “But I saw it
myself in the movies and on television” can only be the product of a very
feeble mind. All the films of the genocide of the jews, from Holocaust to Shoa
to Schindler’s List, were produced long after the war; that they lack any
probative value is a matter of course. It’s no accident that a miserable botch
job like Schindler’s List was cooked up in black-and-white. This was done to
create a false impression of authenticity for historically naive cinema-goers.
