   Mr Keren, first I've not accees as I would like to many books this summer,
 most of the librairies are just open during the working hours. So, I can
 hardly check in the reference you gave. However, since the holocaust authors
 are eager to bring proofs, if this signature is not typewritten but handwrit
 ten, than I would expect you to mention explicitelly that a photo of the
 document is reproduce with the signature of this man. If no photo was reprodu
 ced, then I will assume a typewritten signature, as it appear in some other
 soviets (ooops)... german documents 'captured' by the soviets. You know my
 criterias about it: since *a lot* of SS died on the russian front, I don't
 consider as a formal proof the signature of a man captured by the soviets.
 There's some elements about the way the soviets put pressure on some SS
 who were make prisonners, and even if you deny it, there's suffisant evidence
 in the revisionnist litterature to me.

    So here, my standard is simple: the handwritten signature of a SS who died
  without beeing capture by the soviets or the allieds. Second, this signature
  (handwritten) on a relevant page. Third, an authentification that was make,
  and that can still be done, with another document (letter or whatsover).
  In this case, it is too strange that the soviets were able to present hundreds
  of pieces of evidence that talk explicitelly about mass murders while the
  documents captured by the allieds and which are supposed to proove something
  are extremelly rare.

   Finally, I wouldn't be surprise that several documents which respect those
 criterias exist, and I will have no difficulty to accept those ones. My opinion
 actually is that the nazis did not just kill jewish commisars and their
 famillies, but also sometimes jewish civilians in blind represails, as the
 death squadrons in Salvador did. However, the number is another thing.
 I've no way to know exactly. The soviets documents are suspect for some rea-
 sons that I have expose here a couple of months ago.


   There's one of those documents that give me some difficulties actually.
  It is the letter allegedly written by Hitler to Himmler which talk about
  363,211 liquidated jews. That's a huge number. It's not totally impossible
  neither, since the question of the Einsatzgruppens doesn't sounds as much
  fishy than the gas chamber story to me. My first opinion was that this
  document was a forgery since Butz explanation ( Himmler's initials on an
  irrelevant page) was convincing to me. He added also that Himmler's initials
  were easy to forge. I saw a picture of this letter recently (your site)
  and this is a bit confusing to me. First, the header of the page seems to
  show that this is page 1, but there's a -2- at the bottom of the same page.
  There's a handwritten notification on the upper right corner, but it doesnt
  look like H-H. If it is suppose to be Himmler's initial, I would like first
  to compare with another document (genuine) were Himmler signed but I dont
  know were to find actually, most of the libraries here a closed during the
  working hours till the mid august. The initials(?) looks like a very simple
  draw, something that I would say easy to forge. Some signatures are complex,
  impossible to forge, but if we talk about initials, depends the way someone
  signed. But I'm not an expert in graphology.

    I've send and email 2 days ago to A.Butz, Greg Raven, R. Widmann and Jeff
  to have an opinion, but up to now, no answer. I don't know if it is possible
  to proceed to an authentification with some graphologic test, with 10 or
  15 sample (the same initials that some people would try to forge) and a
  genuine document initial by Himmler. If no one can do a forgery that is not
  detect and that such initials appear to be the right ones, than I would
  accept this document as genuine. I suppose that it is not easy to do, even
  on a photocopy but actually since the initials appear to be on a relevant
  page, I'm curious to know if it is easy to forge this small handwritten
  notification or not.
  In any normal trial, such a thing would have to be done but since we talk
  about Nuremberg, evidently the threasold to accept a document as genuine
  was very low.

  He wasn't even prosecute at Nuremberg and seems to had a special immunity
for years after. Some trials were postponed and if you have any indication
that he was a day sentence to something, let me know. Of course he didn't deny
writting this letter: this can explain his luck over 20 years, don't you

   No, but you have not a proof of anything with that. He was captured by the
 soviets and if he was torture like Hoess, or either if he feared that he could
 be, than this letter is nothing special. I've not to proove that intimidation
 was used against each german: as soon as it is proove that intimidation was
 used against several, with a totalitarian state as USSR, than you can multiply
 by 1,000 those kind of 'proofs' they are not showing your point more.

   Thanks to Alexander Baron, who revided the text (my english is not perfect)
  and gave me several suggestions for this FAQ and the 2 pages that follow.


                      CREMATORIA


   The first section of this FAQ deals with crematoria in Birkenau. The
Revisionist claim is usually supported by the affirmations of Ivan Legace,
a crematory operator from Calgary who has been subjected to smear attacks
>from  the Holocaust lobby in alt.revisionism. I hadn't really the time to
involve myself on this topic, I'm working 40 hours a week, and I've no
connection with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which can raise billions of
dollars for the construction of Holocaust Museums. However, I never heard
about any crematory operator who was produced in a court case by the Ho-
locaust lobby to support the claim that 4 bodies can be reduced to ashes
in 30 or 45 minutes in a crematory oven. My first knowledge of the topic
was limited, than I got an interview with M. Marc Poirier (Funeral House
Magnus Poirier, Montreal) and a phone interview with a chemist who is main-
taining several crematoria in Quebec. Later, I got several phone interviews:
with M. Denis, from 'Incineration Plus' (Montreal); S. Ouellet (Urgel Bour-
gie Funeral House, Montreal); J. Choiniere, Crematorium d'Arche (Longueuil);
a man from 'le Cimetiere du Bas du Fleuve'; M. Cloutier, from Le Cremato-
rium Mont-Royal.

    The first thing that must be said is that Auschwitz crematoria were
operating at 800 degrees Celcius approximately, according to the annex of
an anti-Revisionist book, "Les chambres a gaz ont exist‚", by G. Wellers.
An annex to the book shows the source: report of the Polish War Crime In-
vestigation Commission and Jan Sehn.   This communist commission claimed
right after the war that the Nazis were able to cremate 3 or 4 people in
20 or 30 minutes per oven at a temperature of about 800 degrees. Cremato-
ries were not operating at 1,200 to 1,600 degrees like today's crematoria
in those days; they were less technologically developed.

    The first thing that must be said is that nowhere was I told that the
cremation took less than about 2  hours for a normal body.  The range was
between  two hours to two and  a half hours.  To that one must add a pre-
hea ting period of 30 minutes for the first cremation of the day. A Cana-
dian law states that the after-burner region must have a temperature above
1000 degrees Celsius before beginning the cremation. The after-burner is a
part of the structure where a little wall slows down the evacuation of the
combustion products and where a flame is applied to those ones. The purpose
is simply to burn the remains of the primary combustion and avoid the ex-
pulsion of pollutants into the atmosphere.

    In the case of the Auschwitz ovens, we are told that the period of
operation was limited in the time: the Krema 1 at Auschwitz 1 (six ovens)
was just sufficient to dispose the bodies of the inmates who died from or-
dinary causes (typhus, other diseases) and the main crematoria of Birkenau
started to work only after February 1943.  It was also documented by the
anti-Revisionist write Jean-Claude Pressac that those crematoria were sub-
jected to several breakdowns, especially Kremas 4 and 5 but also the other
two. One of the two latest was shut down finally in the same year but even
the other one stopped operating for several weeks in miscellaneous situa-
tions. The Auschwitz camp was evacuated in January 1945. Normally a crema-
tory must be cleaned up and is not operating 24 hours a day. Nevertheless,
the claim nowadays is that about a million people died in Auschwitz-Birkenau
and that most of them were cremated there. According to the latest version
of the Nizkor FAQ: more than 700,000 in Kremas 2 and 3. These had 15 ovens
each, the crematorium buildings 4 and 5 had 8 ovens each. All of that in
less than 18 months, with several breakdowns.

    My inquiry gave me the possibility to learn also the average quantity
of air that is evacuated from a crematory in Quebec: about 625 cubic feet
per minute, or 1400 cubic metres per hour.   In the case of the Auschwitz
ovens, the figure that can be derived from the data present in "Anatomy Of
A Death Camp" is about 2,000 cubic metres per oven. In that case, we have
a figure of 33% less air that is applied to the corpse in a crematory here,
but also a figure for a temperature that is 75% higher. The claim that a
body could be cremated in 30 minutes is difficult to support with physical
evidence here.


Multiple corpses in an oven:


    The Auschwitz ovens dimensions were about 1 metre in diameter, and se-
veral corpses were allegedly incinerated at a time to increase their effi-
ciency. Everywhere I was told that the cremation of a body is directly re-
lated to the volume  which is occupied.  A normal corpse takes between two
hours to two and a half hours to be cremated, an extremely obese corpse much
more time, and the lower limit that the chemist and those crematory opera-
tors knew was about an  hour and a quarter.  In some other countries, the
cremation time seems to be faster (there are few variables on which one can
play) since some Revisionists have already given figures like 1 hour 30
minutes for a normal body. In that case, the oxygen intake is probably hi-
gher. The ratio surface/volume to burn is also one of the factor that in-
fluences the faster cremation. The combustion of the corpse is just the
oxidation of its molecules with the oxygen that is brought into the muffle.
An analogy could be drawn with the combustion of a log: cutting it into thin
slices will reduce the combustion time. In the case of the Birkenau ovens,
packing the muffles would result in a drastic drop in the air intakes. The
heads and shoulders of the corpses would stop the path of air molecules and
fewer could reach the most important part of the body that is offering a
large surface: the trunk.

    A good analogy is that of a window you open lightly to let air in. Since
there's little space available, several corpses piled up in the muffle would
not allow a maximisation of the surface that it offers to oxygen: abdomens
would be in contact with backs, etc...Cremation specialists often use the
equivalent in pounds to estimate the cremation time, they use datas like 'a
150 pounds body' or a '250 pounds body', etc...

    Nizkor claim that emaciated corpses wouldn't take as much time to cremate,
and this is true, however they ignore the fact that most of the Jews allegedly
gassed were supposelly killed upon arrival. Photos of new inmates who arrived
at Auschwitz do exist (1) and these, contrarily to the Jews who were victims
of typhus and shortage over months in camps at the end of the war have nothing
in common with famished-looking persons. It is 90 % of the persons allegedly
cremated in the Holocaust story. There is also an attempt to use the argument
that most of the victims were children, but this is plainly wrong: a simple
study that uses the lists that are provided by the Holocaust lobby itself
(eg Danuta Czech in "Auschwitz Chronicle") shows that the children among the
victims could not account for more than 20%.

    The best way to cremate a million Jews was simply to built more cremato-
ria. The author Arthur Butz gave a wonderful parallel several years ago that
must be summarise (2):

There are two tables which are available for the crematory ovens. Most of the
deaths in Germany's camps occurred at the end of the war when the chaotic con-
ditions of the defeat created large scale shortages and boosted the mortality
rate, according to mortality statistics that the SS were using for those camps
(the documentation related to the official mortality rate, registration books
and so on were seized by the Allies). On the other hand, most of the deaths in
Auschwitz occurred during the summer of 1942-1943 with typhus epidemics. It is
said usually, even on the Nizkor site, that the majority of Jews who were de-
ported to Auschwitz were not registered, and vanished without trace because
the Germans didn't record their names in their files, they gassed them on
arrival. Only the Jews who died from ordinary death were registered in the
death book. Jews who were sent to other camps were not tattooed.

    At the end of 1942 a campaign was launched by Himmler to fight typhus and,
as he stated in a letter, to reduce the mortality rate at 'any cost' (3). On
January 20, 1943 Gluecks, inspector of the camps, in a circular addressed to
all the Commandants of Nazi camps, ordered them to fight the too high mortali-
ty rate 'with all the available means'. Other documents (4) attest of this
exchange between Pohl, Himmler and Glucks on that topic and one could also
find a more accesible source about this campaign by reading Reitlinger, _The
Final Solution_, First edition, page 127.

    On September 30, 1943 Pohl was able to report progress in a letter to
Himmler. What is interesting is that he provides the statistics about mortali-
ty rates in miscellaneous camps: from July 1942 to February 1943 the mortality
rate was about 8% while it dropped to 2.8% in June 1943. An interesting aspect
is the August month:


August 1943

population death %


Dachau         17,300         40        0.23
Sachsenhausen  26,500         194       0.73
Buchenwald     17,600         118       0.67
Mauthausen     21,100         290       1.37
Auschwitz      74,000        2380       3.1
etc....


Again, exterminated Jews in gas chambers are not included in this internal
correspondence. If we look at mortality rates due to natural causes we can see
that the number of ovens is almost comparable with camps where there is no ex-
termination claim. In 1942, crematoria were constructed in Dachau and Sachen-
hausen: each had 4 ovens. At Dachau there were 2 ovens before 1942 (samething
for Sachsenhausen). At Buchenwald there were six. In Auschwitz the number of
ovens was between 30 and 46, depending on the period. The number of inmates
grew to 100,000 at the end of 1943.

    But there's another way: Dachau and Buchenwald wee in Germany and as 'non-
extermination' camps, they can be used for the comparison if we want to see
the intention of the Germans when they launched the construction of crematoria
rather than when they were functional and compare it with the death rate there.
In the previous case, Auschwitz seems a bit better equipped with crematoria
than the other camps if we take into account the mortality rate, but if we
look back at the moment when the decision to build crematoria was taken, here
we get even a lower proportion of crematoria/death record for Auschwitz than
for camps in Germany, sometimes by a factor of two.

    If we just take the year 1942, 45,575 inmates died in Auschwitz and 2,470
in Dachau (5). But it is at this moment that the SS launched the construction
of most of the crematoria, so we can have a clear idea of what they had in the
mind: Auschwitz was half as well equipped with crematoria as Dachau, according
to normal death figures, probably for budgetary constraints.

   The main reasons for the high death rates in Birkenau were the typhus epi-
demics of 1942-1943 for which Germans lost the control and also the fact that
many sick inmates were shipped to Birkenau, according to documents (it was,
indeed a death camp).


Permanent use?


    I will add an observation here: if we are told that the crematories were
operating 24 hours a day, than we will need to substract 4 days from that.
The worst period of the extermination process, according to the legend, is
the summer of 1944, when 300,000 to 400,000 Hungarian Jews were allegedly
liquidated and cremated in Auschwitz in two months (6). The story is that
thousands of bodies were burned in open pits since even the 'fantastic' cre-
matoria of Auschwitz were not able to dispose of 5,000 to 10,000 bodies a day.
And in that story, the crematoria were working 24 hours a day over this period
also. It was normal for the U.S. Air force to take photos of a target before
and after the bombardment. Before, to evaluate the defense, after, to evaluate
the damaged. The I.G. Farben industrial complex of Auschwitz-Monowitz was
bombed at the end of the summer, and 4 photos, taken by U.S. airplanes, give
a picture of Birkenau during this critical period: The May 31, 1944, the June
26, 1944, the August 25, 1944 and the September 13, 1944. In none of the pho-
tos can one see any trace of thousands of bodies burned in open pits. Morever,
on the 4 photos, there is no smoke released by the crematoria chimneys! (7).


    Nizkor do not use those air photos, but rather a classical one:

> in massive pits. Two gruesome photographs of these "burning pits", taken
> in secrecy in Auschwitz-Birkenau, have survived. They are of reasonable
> quality, and show men standing by a pile of naked bodies, with the smoking
> pit in front of them. Some bodies are being dragged into the pit. The pho-
> tographs are reproduced by Pressac.

This photo was allegedly taken in Birkenau, but it could have been taken
anywhere else in Europe; no detail on the photo allows the reader to know
where it was taken.

The fuel:

    The average quantity of fuel that is necessary to burn a body in a crema-
torium today is about 23 cubic metres of natural gas, or the equivalent of 30
to 35 kg of coke if we convert with calorimetric data. In the 20s, things were
not different, and since the author J.C. Pressac reproduces the documents that
deal with coke deliveries to Auschwitz-Birkenau ( A.T.O., 1989 ), it is possible
to estimate approximately the number of people who were cremated there. 2,200
tons of coke, or the equivalent of 70,000 to 100,000 persons if we account for
a proportion of 20% children. The coke shipments to Birkenau give a figure that
matches almost perfectly the death registers of the camp.

The documents:

   There are very few documents that are normally adduced to 'prove' that Birke-
nau's crematoria were able to dispose of so many people, most of the 'proofs'
are based on post-war eyewitness testimonies. However, it is not bad to look
at the 2 main ones:

The Jahring document (28 June, 1943) says that the 52 muffles of Auschwitz-
Birkenau were able to reduce to ashes 4,756 corpses per day with a 24 hour a
day operation. The date of the document matches the period when several major
breakdowns were affecting Birkenau's crematoria (the SS were trying desperately
to repair it at that time, as Pressac documented). The origin of the document
is the 'Committee of the Anti-fascist Resistance of the German Democratic Repu-
blic. There was no reason for the SS to claim such an output at the moment that
they had so many difficulties with those crematoria: this document is a forgery.
Morever, in another document reproduce on page 224 the crematoria operated only
12 hours a day. One could check in 'A.T.O' where Pressac reproduce this one:
Jahring's signature is completelly different than the signature we can
find on other documents signed by him (on the coke consumption).
Morever, the 'Jahring document' was miraculously discovered in 1981,
in eastern Germany, when revisionism became more popular.
There was no expertise about the signature that appear on it: if one look in A.T.O
and compare with other documents signed by him, it's easy to guess why.


    Another document that is used on the anti-Revisionist side: 'Fritz Sander
and Paul Erdmann, Prufer's superiors at Topf, estimated an output of 30 to 36
bodies in 10 hours [...]' (8). The reference is Weimar, LK 6451, letter Topf
July 14, 1941.

   According to the rest of the text, the best I could understand is that this
was a double muffle furnace. In Pressac's book there are several references to
contract invoices, and not only for Auschwitz: it seems that Pressac had access
to a huge amount of letters and documentation that were written over 10 years,
the number of quotations about the crematoria is impressive. I would not be
surprised if he met several references to lower cremation output in those let-
ters.

   Nevertheless, the documents that are usually used to 'prove' those crematoria
output are rare: 2 or 3. It is possible that this letter exaggerates the outputs
a bit for 'selling purposes'. It is said too that the first cremation was car-
ried on only on August 15, 1941 with that furnace. This means simply that this
claim in the letter, probably, was not based on something that was observed but
on an hypothetically optimistic estimate. In short, it is worthless.

IVAN LAGACƒ[
 Ivan Lagace was the fourteenth witness called by the defence. He
 testified on Tuesday, April 5 and Wednesday, April 6, 1988.]   Ivan LagacŽ was
 tendered as an expert in the practical aspects of crematorium practices. LagacŽ
 worked as a professional embalmer-funeral director, and crematory manager and
 operator at the Bow Valley Crematorium in Calgary, Alberta. He had completed the
 two and a half year Funeral Services programme at Humber College in Ontario and
 in 1979 obtained his diploma and Ontario license. In 1983 he obtained his
 Alberta license. (27-7383, 7393; qualified to give opinion evidence at
 27-7394))      Lagace testified that while a crematoria business required licensing, the
 personnel themselves required no licence or certification. This applied to Canada, the
 United States and Mexico. Crematorium operators were trained by factory
 representatives in the operation of the equipment. Most operators were members of the
 Cremationists Association of North America, a self-governing association which
 sets voluntary standards for crematorium operation. (27-7384, 7385)    In the
 course of his career, Lagace had dealt with over 10,000 bodies in his work and had
 cremated over 1,000 bodies. The work involved bodies in a variety of physical
 conditions, from accident and fire victims to people who died of highly
 contagious diseases. (27-7385, 7386)Cremation Process  With the use of a flow schematic
 drawing, Lagace explained the three basic processes of cremation which applied
 to any crematorium built from 1800 onwards. In the first stage, the human
 remains (referred to by crematory operators as the "fuel") were placed in the main
 ignition chamber. The body could be in a container such as a casket or not, but
 it was definitely easier to burn the body without a container because there was
 less fuel to burn. Although it depended on the design of the unit, the body
 would usually be placed through the loading door feet first. (27-7396, 7397, 7398)
  At that point, the heat source was employed, most modern crematories using
 gas-fired or oil-fired burners. The fuel (human remains) was ignited.
 Temperatures became extremely hot, normally reaching 2,000 degrees, and depending upon the
 fuel, could go as high as 2,250 degrees Fahrenheit. (27-7399)  From the main
 ignition chamber, the gasses were sucked at a high velocity into a mixing chamber
 and thereafter through a series of baffles until the gasses were finally
 expelled outside through a tall stack. The main purpose of the mixing chamber and
 baffles was the elimination of any smoke or odour emissions. The baffles achieved
 this by forcing the escaping gasses through a series of twists and turns,
 creating turbulence or mixture. A secondary burner could be employed at this point
 to burn off any remaining gasses and smoke particles, but, LagacŽ explained, it
 was not usually necessary. Because of the high temperatures, all that was
 needed to be introduced was more oxygen. This induced a secondary burn within the
 after-burner portion of the crematory unit. (27-7399, 7400)    Cremation reduced
 the human remains to calcium. These particles were sucked from the cremation
 chamber into a space called the settling chamber. Because of the larger size of the
 settling chamber, the vacuum pressure dropped, causing the calcium
 particulates to fall down. LagacŽ explained that the settling chamber filled rather
 quickly and, depending on the number of cremations, had to be checked regularly and
 cleaned at least once a month. Most crematoria usually maintained a log of
 clean-ups. As a result of these processes, nothing but clean hot air escaped up the
 stack. (27-7400 to 7402)       LagacŽ testified that because of Bow Valley
 Crematorium's extremely high stack, 45 feet versus the normal 15 feet, a high velocity
 draft was created drawing very large volumes of oxygen into the cremation
 chamber. The more oxygen that was provided, the higher the temperatures would go. As a
 result, crematory temperatures were passing 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit,
 exceeding the tolerance level of the bricks. This caused Bow Valley's refractory to
 fail, requiring re-bricking of the entire machine besides the stack itself. (27-740
 (27-7402, 7403)        Nevertheless, because of its high stack, the Bow Valley Crematorium
 was the hottest, and therefore, the fastest crematory in operation in North
 America, with the capacity to cremate one adult human body in a minimum time of an
 hour and a half under optimum circumstances.  Children took much less time to
 cremate simply because of their smaller size. Bodies with a moderate amount of
 fat were easier to cremate than skinny people. Fat was a good fuel which ignited
 instantly upon exposure to the flame. A tremendous surge of heat would result,
 actually aiding in the cremation process. A person with no fat on their body
 was very "stubborn" fuel to burn because it consisted mainly of wet tissues.
 (27-7405, 7406, 7407) The torso was the most difficult part of the human body to
 cremate because of its bulk and thickness. (27-7426)   After the initial surge of
 heat from the ignition of body fat, the temperature in the retort would drop to
 around 1,900 degrees and would remain at that level until the cremation was at
 least 80 percent complete. Thereafter, the temperature further declined to
 about 1,600 degrees until the end of the cremation cycle. (27-7425, 7426)  Lagace
 next took the jury through the Operations of Cremation Equipment Manual which
 set out operating procedures for crematories. The manual warned the operator, for
 the first case of the day, to "check and see that the ash tray is installed in
 the ash pit" and warned that "failure to have the ash tray installed can
 cause/or result in fire outside the Retort!" (27-7407: Manual filed as Exhibit 105
 at 27-7422) )  LagacŽ explained the importance of this procedure, especially in
 the case of obese cases, where incomplete combustion of body fats occurred. In
 such an event, the burning body fats dripped into the waterproof ash pan and
 continued to burn there. If the ash pan wasn't there, however, the fluid would
 leak outside of the retort and cause a fire outside the crematory. (27-7407, 7408)
  After checking for the ash pan, an operator started the preheat cycle for the
 afterburn chamber. This chamber was heated to create or establish the draft in
 the stack. The preheat cycle took approximately twenty minutes to reach 800
 degrees Fahrenheit. After the preheating, the fuel (human remains) was introduced
 into the ignition chamber on rollers, the main burner ignited and the cremation
 process commenced. (27-7408, 7409, 7410)       LagacŽ pointed out that the Manual
 contained the warning that: "Use of any metal type roller will cause excessive
 wear on the floor tile and shorten the life period of the floor tile." He
 explained that the refractory tiles used on the floor of the ignition chamber tended
 to wear out very quickly because of the wear and tear of the rollers and because
 this was where the fuel ignited and burned. LagacŽ himself had worn out floor
 titles after only 250 cremations by using metal rollers. Once the wear started
 it was extremely difficult to stop. (27-7410, 7411)    To repair the unit in such
 circumstances the operator had to cease operation of the retort, allow the
 machine 48 hours of cooling down time with the door fully open, and preferably with
 a fan flowing through the machine.  The bricks or tiling then had to be
removed and new ones cemented. The average life expectancy of floor refractory was
 1,500 cremations. The bricks of the retort's walls and ceilings were rated for
 3,000 cremations while the bricks of the afterburn chamber were rated for roughly
 2,000 cremations. (27-7411)    The time to cremate a human being (the cremation
 cycle) took an average of two hours. After the first cremation of the day was
 completed, the operator must let the retort cool-down for a minimum of one hour
 before beginning the second case. After the second cremation, a cool-down period
 of at least two hours was required. Even with cool-down times, LagacŽ
 testified that cremations could not be done "24 hours a day, round the clock, day after
 day...the refractory will not tolerate it." Factory recommendation for normal
 operation was a maximum of three cases per day in a normal eight hour work day.
 No more than 50 - 60 cases should be processed in any month so that the
 refractory life was prolonged. That was an average of 2 cases a day. (27-7412 to 7415;
    There was no way to speed up this process, LagacŽ testified,
 without effecting the refractory brick and endangering the life of the operator. If
 no cool-down period was allowed between cremations, the temperature would go
 out of control and probably exceed the 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit rated for the
 bricks. This would cause excessive spalling, or flaking, of the bricks. Secondly,
 the operator could not safely open a retort having an internal temperature of
 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. "I have to allow for cool-down time, for my safety,"
 said LagacŽ, "and to bring the temperature in the retort to a point where there
 is safe loading of the next case." (27-7412, 7413)     LagacŽ testified that he had
 "burned my hair and my face often enough to learn that I don't attempt to open
 the door when the temperatures are excessive. It just can't be done, unless
 perhaps you are wearing a full asbestos suit. From my experience with asbestos
 garment, they prevent flame from contacting you, but they still get very hot."
 (27-7414)      LagacŽ emphasized the real dangers involved if the cool-down periods
 were not followed. If an operator attempted to introduce a body into the retort
 when temperatures were still excessive, a "flash ignition" could occur whereby
 the body would ignite before it was fully introduced into the retort. In such a
 case, the operator would be engulfed in flames from the burning body and would
 be unable to close the door to the retort. To put it simply, he said, "you can
 basically walk away and watch your building burn down." (27-7415, 7416)  You can
 introduced a sample brick into evidence which the jury was allowed to handle.
 The brick was extremely light and brittle making it an extremely good insulator,
 insulator, but also very delicate: "I could take an ordinary handsaw and cut it in
 half." The brick was able to withstand 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit, and was therefore a
 little better than the average firebrick. (27-7422, 7423, 7424; brick entered
 as Exh. 106 at 27-7423)        In a new crematory, the new refractory brick had to be
 cured or dried out during a break-in cycle of one cremation per day for 25
 days. If this number was exceeded, refractory failure would certainly be caused.
 (27-7428)      During normal cremations, there was some flaking of brick, wearing it
 from the inside to the outside. If the brick was overheated, however, it would
 simply crack along its length to about one half of its depth, thereby causing
 premature failure. In such a case, the fire would not be contained within the
 retort and the metal superstructure, which supported the retort, would buckle.
 Eventually, testified LagacŽ, the retort would collapse and a fire would occur
 outside the cremation chamber. (27-7424, 7425) During cool-down, LagacŽ shut down
 the natural gas burner used to fire the crematory and pumped air through the
 chamber. Older furnaces, he said, had been coal-fired, and had been difficult to
 cool down simply because the operators could not shut the heat off: "Once coal
 is burning, unless you remove it, the heat is still being produced." Coal-fired
 furnaces thus prevented any quick cool-down to occur and in fact required
 "enormous amounts" of time to cool. (27-7426)Birkenau Crematories LagacŽ testified
 that the plans for the Birkenau crematory indicated that it had been built to
 almost the exact specifications of the Bow Valley Crematorium.  Using an
 overhead of the Birkenau plan, LagacŽ pointed out the crematory's cremation chamber,
 the flame port, the smoke channel and settling chamber and the afterburner. He
 testified that it was obvious that the Germans were concerned with environmental
 effects. (27-7430)     LagacŽ found the most amazing and unique part of the
 Birkenau crematory to be the stack, calculated to be 45 feet high, and therefore very
 similar to Bow Valley Crematorium's stack. In LagacŽ's opinion, the rate of
 burn of the Birkenau unit would be as efficient but not more than his own unit in
 Calgary. (27-7432)     The only technology difference that LagacŽ could see
 between his own crematory and those of Birkenau was the burner section. LagacŽ's as
 crematory used a natural gas burner while Birkenau used a stoking system with coal
 or something of a similar nature. The technology of LagacŽ's crematory allowed
 him to shut the gas off for cooling. Coal was very cumbersome in that regard
 and this would affect the time limit since the operator could not go through a
 cooling cycle as quickly. (27-7450)    LagacŽ was shown a photograph of one of the
 Birkenau crematories taken during the war and asked if the units looked familiar
 to his own crematory. LagacŽ agreed that they were. He indicated, however,
 that the Birkenau retorts had been built in units of three with common walls
 between them. This would have eliminated the need for extra bricks and been much
 easier and quicker to construct. However, he noted, "should one of these need to
 be maintained or need any repairs, it would necessitate the shutdown of the
 other two [retorts]...attached to it, because you can't have temperatures of 2,000
 degrees radiating into an area where you're working on another retort."  LagacŽ
 believed that this design would never be used in a modern crematory simply
 because, as a business, it could not afford to have a shutdown of three units if
 one broke down. (27-7438, 7439)Holocaust Claims of Numbers ofCremations at
 Auschwitz-Birkenau:    LagacŽ was asked to comment on the claims made by Raul Hilberg in
 The Destruction of the European Jews (2nd ed., page 978) with respect to the
 capacities of the 46 retorts in the four crematories at Birkenau. Hilberg
 claimed:       The theoretical daily capacity of the four Birkenau crematoria was somewhat o
 over 4,400, but, with breakdowns and slowdowns, the practical limit was almost
 always lower.  LagacŽ stated that this claim was "preposterous" and "beyond the
 realm of reality." To claim that 46 retorts could cremate over 4,400 bodies in
 a day was "ludicrous." Based on his own experience, LagacŽ testified that it
 would only have been possible to cremate a maximum of 184 bodies a day at
 Birkenau. (27-7436, 7437, 7438)  LagacŽ was referred to page 17 of Did Six Million Reall
 Really Die? where  Harwood stated:     Ľ Although Reitlinger's 6,000 a day would mean a
 total by October 1944 of over 5 million, all such estimates pale before the
 wild fantasies of Olga Lengyel in her book Five Chimneys (London, 1959). Claiming
 to be a former inmate of Auschwitz, she asserts that the camp cremated no less
 than "720 per hour, or 17,280 corpses per twenty-four hour shift." She also
 alleges that, in addition, 8,000 people were burned every day in the "death-pits",
 and that therefore "In round numbers, about 24,000 corpses were handled every
 day" (p. 80-1). This, of course, would mean a yearly rate of over 8-1/2
 million. Thus between March 1942 and October 1944 Auschwitz would finally have
 disposed of over 21 million people, six million more than the entire world Jewish
 population. Comment is superfluous.    LagacŽ testified that from his own experience
 in cremating approximately 1,000 bodies, the figures cited by Reitlinger and
 Lengyel were not realistic. The person citing such figures, he said, was,
 "irresponsible... with his facts because this doesn't even begin to enter reality at
 all. It's just physically unrealistic." LagacŽ said that even with present
 disaster plans, which provide for massive mobilization and the handling of large
 numbers of human remains, it would be "unimaginable" to cremate such numbers.
 (27-7447)      Under the disaster plans of LagacŽ's association, bodies would be
 transported from a disaster scene to a local temporary morgue, which usually would be
 the nearest arena and the bodies placed on the ice. The person orchestrating
 the actions of the crematory managers would be the medical examiner. At his
 instructions, after he had completed any investigations, the bodies would be removed
 from the temporary facilities and normal funeralization would proceed. If all
 corpses were to be cremated, the bodies would have to be placed in refrigerated
 storage to allow time to cremate. (27-7448, 7449)      LagacŽ referred to the 1985
 issue of a statistical sheet compiled yearly by the Cremation Association of
 North America, showing the numbers of retorts located on the continent and the
 number of cremations done annually. The statistics indicated that in 1985, there
 were a total of 338,370 bodies cremated in 931 crematories in North America. In
 Canada alone, a total of 49,216 cremations were performed in 94 crematories.
 (27-7432, 7433, 7434)Open Air Burning: LagacŽ testified that he had observed the
 results of burning people in the open in a case involving a homicide where the
 murderer had attempted to burn the remains of his victim with gasoline in an
 open area in the woods of northern Ontario. He had been unable to do so. Human
 bodies did not burn completely in open spaces. In 90 percent of the cases, it
 would be the epidermis or the skin that would be charred; maybe perhaps the limbs
 would be burnt, but the torso was very difficult to cremate. It took high
 temperatures over a prolonged period of time in order to fully cremate a human
 being. (27-7441)  Moreover, an open air burning would require far more fuel. In a
 retort there was a controlled optimum atmosphere. In open air, heat constantly
 escaped so that it was very difficult to concentrate all the heat into one area.
 (27-7446)Decomposition of Corpses and Handling ofTyphus Infected Corpses:
   LagacŽ testified that there would be a problem with decomposition if bodies were
 left for a period of one to two days. Upon death, the body's defence systems shut
 down, leaving any bacteria or viruses in the body "a free rein to wreak their
 havoc." There was a rise in the body temperature and gasses began to be
 produced. Within hours to a day, bloating caused by tissue gas would cause, for
 example, a leg to quadruple in its size. It would be an extremely unpleasant and
 dangerous situation if contagious diseases were involved. Tissue gas was highly
 contagious and adhered to any equipment such as the floor, the tables, any
 instruments used on the bodies. (27-7443, 7444)        LagacŽ described the procedures
 enforced by the Alberta government in the case of corpses infected with typhus. At his
 discretion, the medical officer of health may step in before the body is even
 removed from the hospital and specify and order the funeral home to follow
 certain procedures in dealing with the body. These included the wearing of
 protective clothing when handling the remains, the destruction of that clothing and the
 containers that the body was placed in. In a case of typhus, the medical
 officer would likely order a direct cremation as this was the most effective way of
 dealing with something that volatile. If the body was buried, it had to be
 encased in a hermetically sealed container which would last over a prolonged period
 of time and only when the soil conditions allowed this, in order to avoid
 contamination of the water-table or underground streams. (27-7444, 7445)

 Cross-Examinination:
    In response to a question by Judge Thomas, LagacŽ testified that there
 were six retorts in Calgary, a city with a population of about 650,000; the
 ratio thus being roughly one retort for every 100,000 persons. Crown counsel
 Pearson asked LagacŽ that if this ratio was applied to the 46 retorts at Birkenau,
 the number would be 4.6 million. LagacŽ agreed. (27-7452 to 7454)      Crown counsel
 suggested to Lagace that when he ran his crematory he did so in conformity with
 Alberta law, conscious of ecology, operating the facility with the safety of
 employees as a paramount consideration with a view to maximizing profit and
 minimizing costs, and maximizing the life of the equipment by minimizing wear and
 tear. Lagace agreed. He also agreed that he had no experience operating in a
 system that placed no legal restrictions on how many bodies could be cremated,
 that had as its goal, not profit, but simply disposing of as many bodies as
 possible. (27-7454 to 7456)    Wasn't it true, asked Pearson, that many facilities such
 as municipal garbage disposal facilities or blast furnaces had furnaces that
 ran continually? Lagace replied that he was not familiar with blast furnaces or
 other such facilities and had not enquired into their operation.  As to his
 knowledge of ceramics, he testified that the thermocouple, a giant thermometer used
 in the crematory to record temperatures, was encased in ceramic but had to be
 changed about every 1,000 cremations because the ceramic would burn out.
 (27-7456, 7457)  Lagace agreed that he was very surprised that the Birkenau crematory
 was a facility which rivalled the Calgary operation as far as efficiency and
 design were concerned. He agreed that Auschwitz was forty years ahead of its time
 when it came to cremating. (27-7458)   On re-examination, LagacŽ testified that
 there had not been any typhus epidemics in Calgary recently. He agreed that any
 economic motivation he might have did not affect his capacity to complete
 cremations. (27-7458, 7459)

   Thanks to Alexander Baron, who revided the first page of the text to
  correct grammatical errors

First of all, the usual statement that the Germans have tried to keep secret
their extermination policy is completely ridiculous. This 'attempt to preserve
the secret' is often used to explain why the high level German documents
captured by the Allies refer to the 'Final Solution' as a program for the
expulsion of the Jews from Europe.

The Auschwitz complex was built close to an important agglomeration. Many ci-
vilians worked there during the day and went home in the evening. On page 62
of his 1993 study 'Les Crematoires d'Auschwitz', the anti-Revisionist author
Jean-Claude Pressac (who uses German documents) writes: "For the Birkenau
cremator- ies, the Germans gave the contracts to 12 civilian enterprises [...]
Each working site was employed between 100 and 150 workers, a third of them
civilians." The number of ovens was growing with years with the expansion of
the camp, and the maintenance was unavoidable. Auschwitz was critical for the
Allies: Synthetic rubber production was important for the Americans, and it is
not surprising that many air photo missions concerning this camp took place.
The huge backwardness of the Americans concerning the fabrication of synthetic
rubber after the lost of their usual source in Malaysia in 1941-42 didn't permit
them any choice: they had to know everything about Auschwitz, and there's no
doubt that they took measures to pick up as much information as possible. We
know, that the Americans had broken the German military codes. Over two and a
half years there was no mention of mass gassing in any intercept in spite of
the Germans being unaware that their codes had been cracked.

But there is even more, in 'The Terrible Secret', the Jewish historian Walter
Laqueur gives some hints in spite of being no manner of Revisionist. From him
we learn (page 25), that Auschwitz was an archipelago, that thousands of
inmates were frequently shipped to annex camps, mixed with civilians across
Silesia, that hundreds of civilians were working at Auschwitz 1, that journa-
lists were travelling freely in this region...This is the same author who says
that there were hundreds of liberations in 1942-4, among them several Jews
(page 169). But also there were hundreds of escapes in those years!

In 'The Final Solution', Reitlinger talks also of a a radio receiver that was
active in the inmate barracks over a period of months. Admiral Canaris, chief
of the counter-spying agency of the Third Reich, was a double agent. He gave
much information to the Allies during the war, but said nothing about alleged
mass liquidations at Auschwitz.

There was organised resistance in the camps. Groups of communists, Jews and
others were able to send information out of the camp. A fairly accurate picture
of this resistance is given by the book 'Fighting Auschwitz'.

As stated, it was impossible for the Germans to avoid some contacts between
the inmates and the local population. Many Poles were, indeed, members of the
resistance, and some inmates had conversations with local populations when they
were brought out of Auschwitz to execute miscellaneous labour tasks. Sometimes
these civilians hid food and for the inmates. Often, the SS in charge of the
commandos were faking ignorance about those things in exchange for food or
gifts. (See for example Garlinski, 'Fighting Auschwitz', pages 43-5). The
contacts with the local population were developed in such a way that letters
and parcels could be sent out of the camp by the internal resistant cells of
Birkenau and Auschwitz on a regular basis. A group of the Cracovia resistance
was in regular touch via letters. In this town were preserved 350 of those
letters, 'a small fraction of a very much more important total' (Langbein,
'Hommes et femmes a Auschwitz', page 252). Letters successfully reached the
Netherlands also. In spite of this, such records are used to endorse the
extermination claim. As Butz pointed out, quoting L. Dawidowicz in her intro-
ductory chapter (page 221):

   "One impediment was inadequacy of Jewish documentation in spite
   of its enormous quantity... The absence of vital subjects from
   the records may be explained by the predicament of terror and
   censorship; yet, lacking evidence to corroborate or disprove, the
   historian will never know with certainty whether that absence is
   a consequence of an institutional decision not to deal with such
   matters or whether it was merely a consequence of prudent policy
   not to mention such matters. The terror was so great that even
   private personal diaries, composed in Yiddish or Hebrew, were
   written circumspectly, with recourse to Scripture and the Talmud
   as a form of esoteric expression and self-imposed reticence."

Garlinski mention also this story about the radio transmitter/receiver which
was active over 7 months in 1942 in Auschwitz and due to its contacts, the
direction of the Silesia local AK ceil (Armia Krajowa) was soon able to find
the wavelength used by the transmitter. (Garlinski, 'Fighting Auschwitz', page
126).

The Armia Krajowa, or the interior (or secret) army was formed in 1942 from
a previous resistance movement. It was organised like a real army. In 1944
the AK could count on about 300,000 members. In Birkenau there was a secret
organisation created in April 1942 by Colonel Karcz. Contact between the
Birkenau organisation and the main camp of Auschwitz took place on a daily
basis. The main task of the Karcz group was to provide information to the AK
elements outside. In 1942 the organisation of W. Pilecki, an ex-Polish officer,
could count on 1000 members between Auschwitz and Birkenau (Garlinski,
'Fighting Auschwitz', pages 97-8). In 1942-43 the resistant groups in Auschwitz
were so powerful that they controlled the Hospital, the kitchens, the main
office and had their agent in key positions.

The activity of the resistance in the camp had a specific purpose: feed the
Polish government in exile with exhaustive information about the events that
were occurring in the Nazi camps. The AK could count also on the complicity of
a few SS to transmit some messages outside (Garlinski, 'Fighting Auschwitz', pages
206-8). But often, messages were simply transmitted with the liberation of
inmates (Laqueur, 'The Terrible Secret', page 169 and Garlinsi, 'Fighting
Auschwitz', pages 54-5 & 112).

Communications between Poland and London were relatively easy for the Resis-
tance. The general Bor-Komorowski, commandant of the AK, said that clandestine
radio messages were regularly transmitted to London and that for the year
1942-43-44, there were almost 300 such messages per month. (T. Bor-Komorowski,
'The secret Army', page 150). Another source of information was the microfilms
which were sent to London on a monthly basis. The Polish Resistance had about
100 radio transmitters which were able to reach England. But other messages
were brought by newsmongers who were travelling to Sweden (neutral) and then
Great Britain.

Recently I obtained a copy of one of the most notorious Revisionist pamphlets:
'The Auschwitz Lie', by Thies Christophersen. Christophersen is an ex-German
officer who had worked in one of the camps peripheral to Auschwitz: Raisenko.
This booklet is not notorious not because one could qualify it as a big scien-
tific contribution to Revisionism, it's just a small pamphlet where an
officer talks about his personnel experiences, (he visited Birkenau several
times in 1944).

The notoriety of this pamphlet, published in 1973, is mainly due to a false
reference that can be found: a fictive Red Cross report that is supposed to
claim that no more than 300,000 Jews died in WWII. Because of that, 'The
Auschwitz Lie' received immediately the status of 'Bible of the Revisionists',
and one still finds frequent reference in European books or magazine to this
pamphlet and this fictive reference with the development (hint as sth): this
is the Bible of the Revisionists, it contains a lie, so the Revisionist are
just liars and it is a good thing that Revisionist material is banned since
the public must be protected against those lies by people who will tell them
what they must read. What amazed me the first time I took a look at it wasn't
the fact that this false reference was just an isolated one among several
others that were valid, it was to see that Christophersen didn't invent it:
he just quoted a real Brazilian newspaper that didn't check before publishing
this report about the 'Red Cross Report'. Anyway, from Christophersen, we
learn that SS families were able to visit the soldiers without any major
problems in Auschwitz. We learn too that inmates from Birkenau were frequently
shipped to other camps and could establish contact with the local population.
This fact, as I said, was subsequently confirmed by the anti-Revisionist
historian Laqueur.

Now, first statement: Hoess, in his 'confession', supposedly given without
any coercion, testified that when Himmler ordered him to establish a program
of mass extermination in his camp (a verbal order to keep the secret) he
received also instructions not to discuss it with Gluecks, general inspector
of the camps, because absolute secrecy was necessary. Can you believe that?

1.0   US gas chambers

    Zyklon B is not used in American gas chambers, mainly because it requires too much time to drive the gas from the inert carrier. The method is to generate
the gas on site by chemical reactions of sodium cyanide and 18 % of sulphuric
acid. At the time of use, the HCN is already vaporised and is released through
valves into the gas chambers. The door is gasketed with a single pressure seal.
Because the chamber contains such a lethal gas, it is operated at a negative
pressure to guarantee that any leak would be inward. The pressurised system
also insures a quick evacuation of the gas through the top of the chamber and
an exhaust stack is normally require to avoid serious health problems around.
Walls are of welded steel construction or of plastic PVC. After an execution,
it is preferable to wash the walls carefully to avoid residual emissions. During
the execution, a mechanical system is required to distribute the gas quickly in
the chamber (1).

   This technology has existed since the 1920s, but actually, it has been almost
abandoned since it's a too complex and costly method. It's also dangerous for
the executioners. The first considerations which led to this system was the
wrong belief that it could give a more 'humane' death, without pain, but later
it was establish that this was not true.

2.0 Auschwitz gas chambers

  It's sometimes difficult to describe the Auschwitz gas chambers: most of the
books on that topic talk about gas chambers without describing the mechanism
they were suppose to have used. There are very, very few photos of the alleged
gas chambers of Krema 2 and 3, even though the buildings are still there (but
not totally intact). Some eyewitness claimed that showers were used to introduce
Zyklon B (a gas lighter than the air) while others talked about SS men throwing
cans of Zyklon B into the chamber. Actually, there are roof vents on the top of
Krema 2 at Auschwitz, and the Auschwitz Museum claims they were there before
the Russians captured the camp. (The Communist authorities allowed any visitor
to come there after 1958). In this version, Zyklon B was poured from those roof
vents in a metallic wiremesh. However, Hoess, in his 'memoirs', describes it as
follows (2)



"The extermination process in Auschwitz took place as follows:
Jews selected for gassing were taken as quietly as possible to
the crematoria, the men being separated from the women. In the
undressing room, prisoners of the special detachment, detailed
for this purpose, would tell them in their own language that they
were going to be bathed and deloused, that they must leave their
clothes neatly together and above all remember where they had put
them, so that they would be able to find them again quickly after
delousing. The prisoners of the special detachment had the great-
est interest in seeing that the operation proceeded smoothly and
quickly. After undressing, the Jews went into the gas chambers,
which were furnished with showers and water pipes and gave a
realistic impression of a bath house....The door would now be
quickly screwed up and the gas immediately discharged by the
waiting disinfectors through vents in the ceilings of the gas
chambers, down a shaft that led to the floor. This ensured the
rapid distribution of the gas...It can be said that about one-
third died straight away...The door was opened half an hour after
the induction of the gas, and the ventilation switched on." from
pages 223-4 (Appendix 1).

There was no fan for either Krema 4 or Krema 5 in the story. This one is sup-
posed to have exisex for Kremas 2 and 3 only, despite a project for the
installation of an evantual ventilation system for krema 5 tardivelly is
discussed in another book but there's no doubt that Hoess talk here
about those 2 main kremas. According to Rudolph Hoess in his memoirs we can
thus conclude that the Germans were opening the door and
then used the fan to spread...the gas in all the crematoria building!


  In A.T.O, page 258, a drawing of the eyewitness David Olere shows pellets
wich were spread on the floor and Pressac comments that: It can be entirely
fictive or based on what the artist saw, anyway this picture is the only one
wich show a homicidal gassing.

   The walls are of mortar and bricks, there are no gaskets to isolate the
alleged homicidal room, no distribution system, no pressurised system neither,
no mechanical constructions (pipes or other) which are used in a normal gas
chamber.


3.0 The gassing procedure:

   The first mass gassing of Jews is supposed to have occur out of
Bikernau, in 2 little farmhouses converted for the sake of mass killing. It
was a total absurdity to reship the Jews from Bikernau there rather than to
shot them on the spot. The reason why the legend was built around those 2
farmhouses is simply that it was judged as preferable to use Kramer's diary
as a starting base to draw the main elements of the story. In the first part
of the legend, pellets were allegedly throw in the house through a hole in
the wall (3). Since Zyklon B (according to the manufacturer) sticks adheres
strongly to surfaces and that the special disinfection team needed to wait
20 hours after use before entering a normal room without a gas mask (4),
then the removal of bodies immediately afterwards would be extremely difficult
if we rely on the Hoess memoirs. In this biography, the ex-commandant of
Auschwitz stated explicitely that the Sonderkommando were eating and smoking
while they were working (ie without gas masks). However, if we consider someone
who would be equipped with a heavy gas mask, the removal wouldn't be easy
neither. In the case of the so-called gas chambers, HCN could adhere to the
walls, the ceilling, the corpses but much more to the hairs of hundreds of
victims before being released gradually. In the case of the 2 farmhouse of
1942 also, the remaining pellets on the ground would be a danger for the Son
derkommandos if they had to accomplish their task without any delay.

   There is an interesting remark here: Degesh facilities, those small rooms
which were used by the Germans for disinfecting clothes, were equipped with
exhaust stacks and systems to heat the gas in pipes before re-injecting it
into the room: they wanted to avoid condensation on walls. But nothing like
that exists in the 'homicidal gas chambers', less developed technologically.

 4.0 Ferro-cyanide traces:

   The Revisionist claim is that since delousing chambers (Degesh facilities)
contain up to 1,000 times more ferro-cyanide traces on the walls than 'homicide
gas chambers' in the Leuchter original samples than there was no mass gassing of
Jews and the mortuaries where few cyanide compounds were found had just been
disinfected once during the war. It might be said here that the original claim
of the anti-Revisionist (Raul Hilberg) was that most of the Zyklon B was used
for killing people according to 'reliable sources', but since Leuchter's fin-
dings in 1988 the Holocaust lobby decided to adopt a new version (Pressac)
where more than 95% of the Zyklon B was use for disinfections.

   Although Revisionists are more interested in the ferro-cyanide traces
(Prussian blue) which forms a stable element, the Cracow team and their
sleeping partner (the Auschwitz Museum) decided to play on the confusion
that may exist with potassium cyanide which is, indeed, soluble in water
and the ferro-cyanide. The claim that acid rain could have washed cyanide
away compounds is true for potassium cyanide, but not for ferro-cyanide
compounds. An excellent rebuttal of the Nizkor argument can be found on:

http://www.kaiwan.com/~ihrgreg/ under the section Journal of Historical
Review , Winter 1992-93, Volume Twelve, Number 4, especially the article
by Paul Grubach: The Leuchter Report Vindicated.

    The Revisionist interpretation of the minor traces of ferro-cyanide pig-
mentation on the 'gas chamber' walls is that the entire building was probably
evacuated once or twice during the war to be disinfected. Such traces were
found on other rooms which were not supposed to be either gas chambers or
Degesh facilities (for example, the washroom of Krema 1) and the level were
comparable. The conclusion is thus that those buildings were just disinfected.
Since lice was the reason for the typhus epidemics, one can expect the lice
to quit the hairs of the bodies and invade the buildings where several persons
were working, so there's nothing abnormal with the hypothesis that the Germans
disinfected the mortuaries with Zyklon B.

   If someone claims that Leuchter falsified the samples of the washroom, then
it might be asked why he planted a sample with few cyanide compounds for the
gas chamber rather than a sample with no cyanide compound. One of Leuchter's
suggestion after his findings was to allow a neutral international commission
that could solve the problem forever with a transparent and open inquiry,
but as usual the Holocaust lobby did not follow the suggestion and preferred,
after 7 years only, to use his own usual commission rather than a mixed team
with pure random samples.

    Another argument is that the disinfection was taking 10 to 20 hours while
the gassing of people was taking just 10 to 30 minutes. In that case, it is
claimed that it's not surprising to find far less ferro-cyanide compounds on
the walls of the 'gas chambers'. This argument is not responding to the fact
that the level of cyanide between the 'gas chamber' of Krema 1 and the washroom
of the same building are comparable. Moreover, things do not work that way in
real life: the physical absorption of a gas by a surface is a very quick process.
Some experiments were conducted on the adsorption of gases by solids: what they
show, mainly, is that most of the gases are absorbed within a few minutes at 0
degrees Celsius on charcoal. (5) There is a saturation level for the solids,
over which you can't expect to see more gas to be absorbed by it (adsorption
is the word used rather than absorption for such a process). Experiments were
conducted on oxygen, nitric oxide, CO, nitrogen, etc...: the conclusion was
that an average of 80% was adsorbed within 15 minutes while 20% was adsorbed
in the reminding 72 hours of the experience (5).

   In that case, chemical adsorption is coming right after the physical adsor-
ption, but due to the time that is necessary for the gas to be released by a
surface, it is wrong to say that a gassing over '10 hours' will create 20
times more compounds than a gassing over 30 minutes. Some HCN molecules will
react with iron if the microscopic conditions are favourable at a moment,
the others will be released.


 5.0 The stupidity of the method


   The best way to kill people is not to transport them over 1,000 kilometres
with all the cost involves and to put them in those 'gas chambers' but to shoot
them on site. The reason for which the gas chamber story was used in connection
with Zyklon B can be found in one of Hilberg's books: he shows proof over many
pages (mainly Zyklon B invoices) that Zyklon B was produced in Germany, and
carried to Auschwitz. No one contests that Zyklon B was used at Auschwitz to
eliminate lice which were bringing typhus into the camp, even on the anti-Revi-
sionist side: there's too much proof of that. It was essential at Nuremberg to
maximise the proofs and minimise the risk with the use of such documents for
which a dual interpretation is necessary: Zyklon B was use to disinfect clothes
and fight typhus epidemics which were killing Jewish manpower, but Zyklon B was
also used to liquidate them.


6.0 Questions related to the morgues.


   A couple of years ago, Jean-Claude Pressac brought forth a new version of
the story in which the absence of details and schemas about gas chambers in
the documentation seased in the hands of the Germans was not due to an official
Nazi policy to 'keep the secret' but to the fact that the mortuaries were transf-
ormed by technicians in gas chambers late. The question is quite simple: if 200
to 300 people died from ordinary death (epidemies) in Auschwitz each day, where
did the Germans put the bodies of those peoples before to cremate them?

   The morgues of Krema 2 and 3 were there to receive bodies before their cre-
mation, 30 ovens for those 2 buildings were insufficient to reduce to ashes all
the corpses immediately. But the Jews who were dying from epidemics didn't stop
dying after the transformation of the mortuaries into gas chambers, so where
did they put them? Was the truck bringing one body at a time from the hospital
afterwards? Or were they piled up outside while dozens to hundreds of civilians
were working at the camp, without counting the SS families who were visiting
the camp? 'Scuze us, that's because of our secret gas chambers that we are
coding in our documents'. Were they piled up in the room were the ovens were
used? If this is the case, one could expect that the same Sonderkommandos who
allegedly brought the corpses from the 'gas chambers' to the ovens were also
in charge of the disposal of those other bodies. Unfortunately, their tales
do not mention this interesting problem.

  It might be notice that Pressac's tardive version, the transformation of
the morgues in gas chambers, is an attempt to avoid an important revisionnist
argument: the fact that those mortuaries were described as Leichenkellers
on the engineering drawings. This revisionnist argument appeared in the 70's.
In the version that is commonly accept now, the Nazis didnt built the cremato
ries for an extermination purpose, but decided tardivelly to modifyu those
buildings. However, right after the war, the 'confessions' that were got from
SS were explicitelly refered to the construction of the buildings _for_
this purpose.



7.0 Leuchter, dishonest?

   The main argument which was developed against Leuchter is that he's not an
engineer. In this case, experience is more important than an academic training.
He has worked several years for the American Navy and the American Air Force,
creating equipment for civil and military applications. He has patents in do-
mains like optics, meteorology, navigation, etc. He has already been described
by a penitentiary director as a highly competent consultant(6). He knows what
he's talking about, even though he can, like anyone, make mistakes. In Massa-
chusetts, only a fraction of the engineers have licences (I think it's 5,000
out of 50,000) and there is no legislation about the specific topic of 'gas
chambers'. In such a case, Leuchter was the only one of the 50,000 engineers
who was prosecuted, after his report: this is not because he used false repre-
sentation, this is simply because he was victimised.

One of the arguments that is used often in front is the case of the 'missing
jews'. Four months ago, I had a discussion with Yale Eideken who claimed that
Butz figure for Israel, a demographic growth of 500,000 between 1944 and 1949,
were irrelevant since many sepharadims immigrated in Israel after 1948.
My point was to say that the bulk of the sepharadim could not have leaved
their country in the early 1949 but later. I brought some other elements.
However, Yale insisted and took Hilberg's figure, something like 142,000
holocaust survivors who went there. I was in New York 2 months ago and I
found something interesting in the archives: Los Angeles times, 23 january
1995. Lemberger, the director of Amicha, said that he believed that 300,000
holocaust survivors were still alive in Israel. Amicha seems to be a jewish
organization that deal with such issues. But Ingrid gave this information
in a recent zgram. What is interesting however is that the same man, in this
article, said also that there was 550,000 holocaust survivors in Israel in
the early 50's. Bye bye Yale.

 For United States, I'm not sure of the exact number, the usual figure that
 was given by UNRRA doesn't give necessarelly the right total, especially
 if we take in account illegal immigration that jewish organizations had
 valid reasons to minimized, but perhaps even those organizations never
 tried to count the real number.

 For USSR, we know that the statistics that were given by the soviets were
 unreliables. As a matter of fact, we have this article:

    In the New-York Post, 1 july 1991 (p.16) an article from Uri Dan,
    journalist of Tel Aviv, say that up to now Israelis authority
    were estimating the jewish russians to a number between 2 and
    3 millions. 'But the israelis emissaries who can now travel freely
    there report that a numer of 5 millions would be more accurate'.

 In that case, what we can conclude is that the post war soviet claim was
 not significant. Not that all those 2 millions extra Jews are descent of
 deported Jews, but at least  if we take in account boundary changements,
 the fact that even in the 30's there was a vast movement of emigration
 from Europe to other countries in the Jewish population, that they had
 much more reasons to emigrate in 1945 due to economic reasons, than
 one can hardly claim that the vanishing of a lot of Jews is a 'mystery'.
 I don't know how many died, one million, two, that's another question.
 But certanly not six.

This one was post 2 months ago, anyway	

The preferate document of D. Keren is the Jahrling document, something
allegedly written by a SS name Jahrling who claimed that the crematoria
capacities in Auscwitz-Birkenau was 4,756 corpses in 24 hours of operations
(28 june, 1943). I've already give some reasons why I thought it was a
forgery. Since I had an opportunity to take a look at Auschwitz, techniques
and operations of the gas chambers, recently,
I was able to make some interesting comparisons:

On pages 223-224, 2 letters from Jahrling about coke consumption are
reproduces: (documents 32 et 33). The references given are:
 P.M. BW/3034 page 68
 P.M BW 30/34 P54
When I compared those 2 signatures, they were identical for those
2 genuine documents, but totally different from the signature that appear
on the famous document that claim 4,756 corpses a day!

Morever, the circunstances about the discovery of this 'document' are
a bit nebulous:

>Jahrling BW 30/42  2 pages

>  letter of the 28 th june 1943 from the Auschwitz Bauleitung to the WVHA-SS
>  in Berlin concerning the cremation capacity of the five krematorien at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
>  photocopy transmitted on 15 th may 1981 to the curator of the Auschwitz
>  Museum by the committee of anti-fascist resistants of the German democratic
>  republic


> Jahrling sent this letter to the general SS Kammler in Berlin

  This is what I wrote on my sheet a week ago. So you have the picture: the
  other Jahrling documents were microfilm right after the war among a lot
  of other documents, but the '4,756 corpses' 2 pages document was 'discovered'
  35 years after the NMT trials by the committee of anti-fascist resistants
  of the German democratic republic', at a moment where revisionism started
  to put some pressure...

   We will take a look now at the usual propaganda over the war. The american
   Arthur Butz, especially, was the first to do an exhaustive inquiry about
   it. What is clear from his review of american newspapers is that the
   propaganda about mass extermination started as sson as 1942. It was
   mainly statements made by zionist officials, Chaim Weizman among others,
   that were often related to an appeal for the opening of Palestine to
   jewish immigration. Several camps or atrocities are mentionned, Belzec,
   Chelmo, Sobibor, Treblinka, and the accusations take miscellaneous forms:
   jews who are shot, report about mass electrocution of jews in Belzec,
   gasing methos in Treblinka, poison, sometimes the use of wagons were
   lethal gas is used. It looks like the usual scrap that any war is
   normally generating: propaganda. Several of those accusations were drop
   after the war.

      I was able to find recently a rare book: 'the black book of the polish
    jewry', publish at the end of 1943. This book is totally consistent
    with the war propaganda that can be found in the newspapers: Chelmo,
    Treblinka, story of atrocities, in some cases details: 250 jewish
    children allegedly killed in a jewish sanatorium, elsewhere 50 jews
    executed in a township, the book is a collection of war propaganda,
    probably a mix of thruth an falsehoods, an over few hundreds pages
    we have an idea of what kind of stories were used by several jewish
    organisations which had their large network of informant across
    Europe. Nowhere Auschwitz is mention, despite the mass gasing of jews
    is supposed to have start in the spring of 1942. The index, that contains
    a large amount of places were atrocities are allegedly comitted,
    do not contain the name of Auschwitz. Several minor stories, but
    nothing about the gasing of hundreds of thousand of jews there.

        Enrique Aynat made a deep inquiry with the review published
    by the polish government in exile in London, the 'Polish fighting
    review'. It is similar stuff. Several stories about atrocities
    against jews were put in circulation by this review ( the informations
    were received in the same way that what was explained earlier, from
    the A.K.) but Auschwitz appear just few times before 1945. But
    there's more: when it appear, it is not in connection with mass
    gasing of jews. It is about case of torture, hard work, the
    tough conditions of the inmates who have to work for the military
    production. An example of that can be find in the 1 july 1942 article
    (n0 47) where it is mention that the German use syringue to kill
    prisonners of Bikernau. There's a base of thruth: the method
    was at least used for the dying prisonners who were affect by the
    catastrophic typhus epidemy of 1942, but there's no evidence that
    it was use to liquidate them because of an extermination policy:
    euthanasy was the real purpose. In several other articles during
    2 years, very 'low level' details about some inmates who died
    are given, and in a case it is say that few hundred russian
    prisonners were gased at a specific date. What is astonishing here
    is that over 2 years and a half, the systematic murder of hundreds
    of thousands of jews seems to be ignored while the polish resistance
    is suppose to be aware of a single gasing of russian pows at a time.
    There is also a reference to the gasing of polish childrens at the end of
    1943, despite today we never speak about the gasing of poles. But
    among the huge amount of propaganda that was published over those
    years, this is all. Before the mid 1944, the atrocities were generally
    not concerning Auschwitz and when it was th case, the mass gasing
    of jews was not mention. I said a couple of weeks ago that perhaps
    I saw once such a story, but I'm unsure if I've not dream it.

       The story about the mass gasing of jews in Auschwitz began
    really in the summer of 1944 in the allied newspapers, and then we
    can say that the persons who were spreading the atrocities stories
    had no choice: the other camps were shut down several months before.

      First remark: such stories are not 'a proof' of mass gasing,
    simply because propaganda and false accusations were always a
    part of war, and second because those accusations were made
    in connection with a call to allied countries for negotiations
    with germans. The zionist leaders of that time had clearly an objective
    in the mind: put pressure on the British and force them to allow
    the opening of the Palestine borders to jewish immigration.
    Israel was not existing yet, and the arabs were the majority there.
    Several declarations in the newspapers let no ambiguity about it.
      Second remark: the real problem is that it is hard to believe that
    such mounstruous events, the gasing of hundreds of thousand of jews
    over 2 years, could be absent of publications like the 'black book
    of the Polish jewry' while minor stories about the executions of
    50 jews in a small township are present. That book was publish
    expresselly for the sake of propaganda, to talk exhaustivelly about
    the anti jewish persecutions. And it is not because Auschwitz was
    'secret'. We can have a clear indication of that with the anti-revisionnist
    author Martin Gilbert in 'Auschwitz and the allied', p 340. After
    an exhaustive review of the documentation, he conclude that Auschwitz
    was absent of the war propaganda before the mid 1944.
    There it's like to say that events like those that happend in
    Rwanda did exist over 2 years but that despite information was
    collected on a daily based by A.K. agents in Bikernau and Auschwitz 1,
    nobody seem aware of it. Imagine 2 Rwandas over 2 years and nobody
    within that country noticed anything during this period except
    at the end.
      Third remark: such an absence of propaganda would be more acceptable
    for camps like Belzec, simply because those one were isolated,
    there was not an important towniship beside, there was not hundreds
    of civilians who worked there, inmates were not frequently reshiped
    in the vicinity of the camps and able to have contact with civilians,
    Belzec was not of any strategical importance for the american
    since it hadn't any Buma plan industry: the inmates were suppose
    to arrive there and to be killed quickly, nothing else.
    But what we have in the WWII propaganda is the opposite: no possible
    secret for Auschwitz, but it is there that an unexplanable silence
    was keepen. It must be say also that according to the post war
    confessions, Auschwitz was suppose to be the 'metropol' of the
    extermination, the main camp. At Nuremberg, the bulk of the
    extermination story was built on Auschwitz.

      Fourth remark: The story about the 'revelation of the secret' is
    of an uncommensurable absurdity. The WRB report, published in 1944,
    is suppose to be an accurate description of the nature of Auschwitz.
    The american press revealed that 2 inmates escaped and were able to go
    in Switzerland to give a very accurate description of the gassing
    procedure and the installations in Auscwitz. The authors of the WRB
    report stayed anonymous during 16 years despite it had be more credible
    to present those ones immediatelly.
    They stayed anonymous for 16 years and the jewish
    writter Reitlinger was a bit bothered in the first edition of the final
    solution about this fact but those ones were produced before the
    second edition of his book 150 miles away from his Sussex domicile
    (London). Rudolph Vrba, author of a best seller a bit later, 'I
    cannot forgive'. Vrba is suppose to had the false identity of Walter
    Rosenberg in Auschwitz despite he wrote that the other inmates called
    him 'Rudi'.

   Several, a lot of contradictions exist in Vrba's 'memories',
   and Alexander Baron talk about it in the book he wrote. Vrba
   affirmations were so contradictory that he was obligated to admit
   that he lied at the Zundel trial. Just those contradictions could take
   few hundreds lines.
    Let say just that when I read Vrba's book, I saw that his escape
   had a specific purpose: give a warn to the whole world about the fate
   of the jews in Auschwitz, 'breaking the secret' in other words. One
   have just to read the previous message to realize that it is ridicoulous.
   There was hundreds of escapes and liberations before him
   Despite the inconsistences in his testimony, Vrba's credibility is
   essantial. The defenders of the legend can conceed that an obscur
   eye witness could have lie, but Vrba is a kind of detonnator, a domino:
   since he talk about his entertainment with F. Muller at the camp, since
   the key eyewitness Sonderkommando F. Muller said also that he spoke
   with Vrba several times in Auschwitz, if one of the testimony is false,
   the other collapse. If Vrba testimony is false, then one would have
   to explain why the real authors of the WRB report never challendge
   Vrba's story.  And then we would conclude that the WRB report wasn't
   writen by  an ex-inmate but by higher rank propagandist who had a large
   amount of datas available: this is where the story began.

  Here we have an example of Yale's approach: I'm not interest by the number
  of Jews who emigrated in Palestine before june 30, 1947. I'm interest by
 the total of Holocaust survivors who get there before 1950. Now that Lemberger

  The main things that can affect the cremation time are:

  1) the temperature
  2) the air intake (capacity)
  3) the volume to cremate

  It's interesting here to follow the evolution of the anti-revisionnist
arguments in this newsgroup. First, it was claimed before I came here in
November and for few months after that the real cremation time in a modern
oven was less than an hour. The coffin was supposed to be the main impedment
to a quick cremation. Now that this nonsense was drop (apparently), and the
majority in front seems to accept a figure of 1 hour 1/2 to 2 hours in an
oven. However, we are told that there's a difference between a civilian and
a 'military' crematorium. In Auschwitz-Birkenau, the temperature of operation,
as several know here, was about 800 degrees while it is at least 500 degrees
more today. The ex-crematory specialist of this newsgroup used often the air
intake at Birkenau, but as I said sevral months ago, the air intake for
the average crematory in Quebec (2 hours 1/2 for a cremation) is about 25%
less than what was existing in Birkenau. Not so big, if we account for the
temperature difference.

   Nizkor claim in its QAR 42 that several emaciated bodies could be burn
 more quickly. It is true that an emaciated body take less time, the problem,
 as they know, is that 90% of the victims in the Holocaust story are Jews
 who were allegedly gased upon arrival, people who were not emaciated.

   Finally they used an argument which was brought by M.P. Stein, the fact
 that if you don't cremate totally a body, than it take less time. There's
 many problem with this argument. This claim is right, but...
 Why no post war testimony talk about it? Why do we have stories for which
 the ashes were spread almost everywhere, in a river, etc.. Those stories
 never mentionned this caracteristic. In such a case, bones would be harder
 to crunch. Less you cremate, les the bones are friables. I don't know any
 story neither by the survivors about the use of an acid to remove the car-
 bonized flesh. Since Nizkor reduce the cremation time from 2 hours to
 30 to 45 minutes, we could expect a lot of human remains. The construction
 of crematorias, an expensive operation, has a specific purpose: reducing
 completelly the body, a thing that can't be obtain with as much efficiency
 if you burn bodies with wood and gasoline. Also, it is possible with such
 a method to collect the ashes individually, a thing you can't do when you
 burn several bodies together. If one want just to burn partially bodies
 to avoid epidemies than it is more economical to do it with gazoline and
 wood: no breakdown that can slow down the extermination process also.
 One photo was reproduced in Pressac's book 'Les crematoires d'Auschwitz'
 page 97. It is the picture of a Buchenwald oven, right after the liberation
 of the camp in 1945. Buchenwald wasn't an 'extermination camp', but with
 the fuel shortage and the necessity to proceed efficiently, we have a
 similar situation. The photo show some bones, white, no flesh around.
 There's ashes on a corner, but the bones are definitivelly white and the
 Nazis knew perfectly that they had to cremate normally to dispose the
 remaining, ie crunching the bones.


  I've not look at those pictures, but I've a pretty good idea of what
 I will find: I know your usual arguments.
 Now, what you show us, Mr. Keren, is a patent. I've few things to add
   on that.
 1) If a patent claim 30 minutes in 1951, does it mean that the authors
   did an innovation that was never done before?
 2) Why weren't you able to find in any trial against revisionist, or else-
  where, with the huge means that you have, a place in the world where the
  cremation time take 30 minutes. Does it mean that the patent was too optimis
  tic?
 3) 30 minutes for a normal corpse or a baby?

   It is a fact that nowhere the cremation take less than 1 our 1/4 to 1 hour
 1/2 for a normal body. Nowhere in the world to my knowledge. It could be
 done, yes: if we rise up the temperature, if we boost drastically the oxygen
 intake, but then we face other problems. It's not so easy. The average time
 is 2 hours. If we want to improve the efficiency, than we have to deal with
 physical factors.

   I can tomorrow register a patent for a new kind of tire. With a synthetic
 rubber of my own, I can say in the patent that this tire will be able to
 roll an average of 138,000 km without a flat. That's my estimation. If 8
 years later it is proven that the average in real time situations was 39,000
 kilometers, that's another question. A patent hasn't the same value then
 real time outputs, true experiments. It is a subjective document where any
 optimistic value can be put. I prefer to base my opinion on facts rather than
 a patents. If you would say 'Since then, it take 30 minutes to cremate
 people', that would have some value. But this is not the case.

  If one belive in the postwar communist statistics. If one avoid the fact
 that the bulk of the russian Jews were evacuated before the German invasion
 and could not account for 700,000 victims thus. I don't know the real number
 of German, Polish Jews who were liquidates by bullets for the whole war
 after their deportation in Eastern territories, but in their case, the number
 is irrelevant to explain jewish loss for Soviet Union. You know probably
 as me that there's evidence that the bulk of the Jews living in USSR were
 evacuated before the German invasion.

The ausrotten game seems on the way, as usual here, and since I remember almost
nothing or very few of that langage, it will be the usual arrogant approach
that will prevail: "I'm a native german speaker, or I speak perfectly german,
you don't know german, so shut up, no german could or has deny the meaning of
thiw word as extermination."  This kind of attitude seems frequent here, and
obviously that does not take in consideration some basic facts, a German living
in that country would face some troubles if he's denounce to the Gestapo there
as a dangerous political deviant by some puppet (hi Nele). However, this is
not totally true neither, as we know Irving, who is perfectly fluent, had
some reserves on that, accounting for the nature of the langage 60 years ago
and the fact that this word is now much more frequently use to describe the
a nazi extermination policy in the medias. Some brought X dictionnaries that
show this specification: extermination when we talk about the livings. However,
several other dictionnaries gives 2 definitions, eradication and extermination,
without specifying anything about the livings.

  The opinion of an eminent grammarian is not relevant, simply because Himmler
was a military. He was speaking of a violent program of expulsion, and the way
someone learn about the meaning of a word is not necessarelly in a dictionnary,
but from the parents, or from someone else that he know, in other circunstances
also. Litterally it mean wipe out. And even if Himmler learned this word in a
dictionnary, why should he have take the one which gives this specification
about the livings rather than those which do not gives this specification?
It is a certanty that a large amount of Jews survived to Nazi's persecutions,
despite several of them died from direct or indirect causes. I've talk about
demographical datas for Israel (550,000 holocaust survivors there just at the
begining of the 50's, just for this country, one fifth childrens) and Germany
had the time to liquidate all of them if there was a central decision that was
taken in Berlin to kill them all. But we are still playing with this word,
where 2 meanings are possible, except if we shift the context and consider
that some dictionnaries are better than others because such grammarian has
decided in the 80's that the best translation was 'extermination', one of
Mazal's argument if memory deserve.

  However, I must mention here that it is untrue that no german denied the
meaning 'eradication' one applied for the livings. He may had done a 'gram-
matical' mistake, because he didn't open 20 dictionnaries to make up his mind,
or this can be for another reason, but when jamie McCarthy posted me that one,
I said: this is what I expected:

 **** old email from Jamie McCarthy, which was also post publically,
      so I feel free to use it in this case   ******


*************************************************************************
The following is a record of my discussion with Bjorn Conrad on the
germanica-l mailing list about the meaning of Himmler's Oct. 4th, 1943
speech at Posen, and in particular the meaning of the word
"ausrotten."  This discussion picks up right after I'd posted the
English and German text of the critical part of the speech.

We open with Mr. Conrad excorciating my translating skills and
hinting, not very subtlely, that I was dishonest in my translation.

By the close of this discussion six days later, Mr. Conrad had nothing
to say except to ask me quite a few probing questions.  After I
answered those questions, including going into more detail about my
sources than I had previously, Mr. Conrad had nothing more to say.

A month later, I emailed him to ask if he had any further response.
His answer exemplified Holocaust-denial:  he added "Rejected email" to
the subject line and bounced my query back to me.  So what you see
here is the complete record on this topic -- Mr. Conrad's promise
about just needing "a bit more time to put things together"
notwithstanding.

The only changes I have made have been to reformat into 70 columns
wherever possible.  The text remains unchanged and complete.

Since Mr. Conrad raises many of the same points that I remember Mr.
Beaulieu raising back in January (?), I consider this a good starting
place for discussion.  I tried to lay out my claims pretty clearly,
and I gave bibliographic citations for all the dictionaries I used and
what they said.

*These words were changed to all upper case lettering by me for
emphasis only.

As I've noted above this translation is an abomination! The
capitalized words are those that have clearly been intentionally
mistranslated or have had their intended meaning obscured in the
English translation.

Some additional comments are in order before I give you MY translation
of this paragraph. My intention here is to give you the best possible
reflection of the  original underlying feeling that the speaker was
trying to convey. This is obviously never a perfect process --
however, I know that I can come pretty close.

Also, German and English as languages have both changed since these
words were spoken. It is therefore not really appropriate to use
modern German-English dictionaries without some significant
reservation. Indeed it has become obvious to me that the Second World
War actually resulted in certain changes to the way political language
was interpreted in the German speaking world. This served another
important propaganda function in the Allied deNazification campaign.
This shift is evident here too.

An interesting realization is that in the modern dictionaries the
translations used above are, for the most part, tagged on at the end
of the definitions as special interpretations of certain figurative
language. ...indeed very interesting!

I would challenge any of you to check up on what I'm saying.

Now, I was raised here in this country, but I learned German (my first
language) from the native German generations that grew up before and
to some extent during the Third Reich. So this type of translation
comes incredibly easy to me. It's the modern German "newspeak" that I
sometimes have some difficulty with.

Just to double check myself I am using my German language dictionary
"Das Deutsche Wort" by Richard Pekrun, Georg Dollheimer Verlag,
Leipzig, 1934 (writing project completed Jan 1, 1933 per the author) I
will primarily be drawing my multiple definitions from this source,
for obvious reasons. I will confess, that I used my Oxford
German-English  Dictionary a bit as well.

Repeating what I _hope_ is an accurate German transcription from
Jeremy (again capitalization was my doing):

>   Ich meine jetzt die Judenevakuierung, die AUSROTTUNG* des juedischen
>   VOLKES*.  Es gehoert zu den Dingen, die man leicht ausspricht. - "Das
>   juedische VOLK* wird AUSGEROTTET*", sagt ein jeder Parteigenosse,
>   "ganz klar, steht in unserem Programm, AUSSCHALTUNG* der Juden,
>   AUSROTTUNG*, machen wir."

   I refer now to the evacuation of the Jews, the ROOTING OUT (1) of
   the Jewish PEOPLE (2) as an ETHNIC NATION. This is one of those
   things that is easily said: "the Jewish NATION is being ROOTED
   OUT*," says every Party comrade, "it's quite clear (3), it's in our
   program, SHUTTING the Jews DOWN and OUT (4), ROOTING them OUT,
   that's what we're doing."

This is a far cry from THEIR translation don't you think? Consider
these definitions:

(1) ausrotten = ausreuten (mit der Wurzel, ganz tilgen oder
                herausstechen), vertilgen (mit der Wurzel beseitigen,
                wegschaffen oder vernichten) [chiefly agricultural and
                figurative] (-ung = -tion)

(out-rooten)  = root out, remove root and all, dig out, uproot and
                discard, weed out, eliminate, exterminate

(2) Volk (n.) = Gesamtheit Stamm - und sprachverwandter Menschen
              = people, nation, tribe, ethnic population (culturally
                and or racially distinguishable population)

(3) ganz klar = quite clear; completely clear; understood, crystal

As you can see the definitions used in THEIR translation were neither
the most appropriate for the piece, nor did they reflect the most
comon interpretation of the day. They are clearly little more than the
most negative definitions imaginable. But, did anyone really ever
think that such a translation would be objective. Consider the source.

Now you might begin to understand why revisionists are having such a
field day with the so-called proof that the Holocaust promotion lobby
is providing for their spiel! They seem to be totally unable to shoot
straight. Now they couldn't be trying to hide something could they?

Jeremy, please let me know where I can get my hands on the ORIGINAL
version of this speech. Is it available online? But I guess, you're
probably not the person to ask. You most likely wouldn't tell me now
even if you knew ... I might then expose more of the disinformation
you rely on so much. That wouldn't be much fun would it?

If anyone else knows any sources for this or any other original Third
Reich speeches and historically relevant documents and or books, pleas
let me know. I'm interested in both the original German and the
English translations or so-called translations. ... for obvious
reasons.

Why thanks!  I translated it myself!

Seriously -- if any native speakers want to enter this discussion,
feel free.  I am not a native speaker myself.  But I have yet to find
a single native speaker who says that "ausrotten" (the main word in
question) means anything other than "extermination" or "killing" when
used in the context of living things.  "Ausrotten," when it refers to
living things and not abstract concepts, means "killing."

I've shown my translation to a number of native and fluent German
speakers; I even put it together with their help.  No native speaker
has objected to my translation to date.  I welcome the opportunity for
the germanica-l list to confirm or critique it;  if you are a native
speaker, I'd very much appreciate it if you would read through this
post and share your thoughts with me.

Bjorn, may I ask, are you a native speaker of the language?

Keep in mind that the context is important..  Since the subject of the
verb was das juedische Volk, the definitions that apply to plants etc.
are irrelevant.  And the definitions that apply to abstract concepts
are irrelevant.  Unless one considers Jews to be plants or abstract
concepts, which I would doubt.

I see.  My list of dictionaries was rather long.  I'll list about half
of them here:


Deutsches Woerterbuch von Jacob Grimm und Wilhelm Grimm, Leipzig,
1854.

Deutsches Woerterbuch von Dr. Friedrich Ludwig Karl Weigand, Giessen,
1881.

Deutsches Woerterbuch von Hermann Paul, 1897.

Fluegel-Schmidt-Tanger, Woerterbuch der Englischen und Deutschen

deutsch-englishes woerterbuch (Unabridged, Revised and Corrected
Edition), Berlin-Schoeneberg, 1906.

Heath's German and English Dictionary, Boston, 1906.


 [snip]

My claim is that ausrotten always means "extermination, killing" when
applied to living things in general.

 (Here Jamie brought elements that he took in his dictionnaries )

******************************************************************************

 I'm not stating that his interpretation was the only one, or that with
an exhaustive research one couldn't find that according to eminent linguist,
there's just one meaning for the living: I'm denying that no German has ever
deny that this is 'obvious' that it mean extermination, simply. Because
with such a litteral sense, 'wipe out', accounting with the fact that several
dictionnaries doesn't give a specification for the livings, we have also to
figure that Himmler made long reserchs through 30 dictionnaries to find the
definition Gord Mcphee wanted. I'm not claiming that there was no blind re-
presails, no atrocities, the Nazis considered the Jews as a plague for 2
reasons: a fifth column (sabotage, murders of German soldiers) and for racial
reasons. But the claim that there's 'no ambiguity' and that it mean 'extermi-
nation' is often support by irrelevant arguments, or falsehood, like 'no german
has ever contest it' or the use of 'ausrotten' in another speech by another
German in the future time in connection with a threat of anihilation, or the
use of such dictionnary rather than another one. It can avoid to confront some
interesting problems, like: why did Hitler still considered the Madagascar plan as
a solution in july 1942 according to Goebbel diary (from Irving's article)
Why in march of the same year Goebbel's reported that the fuhrer wanted the
jews to 'leave Europe', and why Goebbel say himself in his diary in march
that 'after the war', an island should be given to the Jews? Nizkor quote
only the elements that can match their theory, like the (very probably)
genuine part about the 60% liquidation for Lublin, but make no effort to explain
these other parts, nor why Luther talk about 'eastern ghettos' rather than
extermination, or why he talks about the Jews who will 'be moved on further
to the occupied Eastern territories as soon as the technical onditions for it
are given'.

  It is difficult to reconstruct the puzzle to know exactly how much of the
Jews who where deported were really killed by the Nazis, and how much perished
>from  other reasons and how much survived, there's contradictory elements on
that if we look at all the datas, not those that are selectivelly taken.
But is seems easier to quote selectivelly and shake the 'ausrotten' rattle
rather than to take in account as much data as possible.

  Whether the sentence was equivocal or not... where they?
  There's at least close to a million victims of German persecutions
  who survived, a prooven number if we account for Israel, USA,
  Canada, Argentina and so on. There's also another million or
  so who were not necessarelly deported but who stayed in Europe
  after the war. The bulk of the soviet Jews, eastern polish Jews
  were evacuated before to the German invasion according to several
  reliable sources that I have here. Several were able to 
  leave Europe during the war also. And there's no reliable statistic
  for soviet Union, contradictory statistics. It is hard to know
  the exact number of those who perished, but since one can find
  similar threats of exterminations in the future mode against the germans
  in the declaration of british officials, such a threat in the future
  time do not explain why so much survived if there was a centralized
  extermination policy that was decided in Berlin in 1942.

  Faurisson's opinion is that it was frequent to protect buildings
 from an evetual bombardment with sealed doors. I didn't try to find
 where he found this 'often', he had study a lot of material that
 I've not access to so I can't say with certanty: this is the reason.
 Perhaps in another book he gaves more precisions, don't know.
 For the heating device, the project was drop something like 19
 days after the prior suggestion. Probably it was to avoid the freezing
 of pipes, or something like that.

since Ehrlich had a recent discussion about the shower heads and since this
is also a part of the article, I'll send him a duplicata.

 Concerning the tight door for the krema: in page 430 of A.T.O. , Pressac
talk about it as a 'definitive' proof about mass gasing there despite he
add on page 439 that it is just an 'indirect' proof. In Faurison's view,
a tight door was a banality since before and during the war, every room
that could be used as a shelter was equiped with an hermetic door accounting
for eventual bombardment. There's also another possibility, since crematory
ovens which works at hight temperatures were in the vicinity, there was some
risks of explosion, gas emission, explosions. You stated that other buildings
were never equipped with an hermetic door, but bring no evidence to support
your claim. Faurisson claim also that most of the crematories had a room where
the bodies were wash. In another excerp (p.234) it is say by Pressac that
Bischoff asked the 15 may 1943 to Tpf & Sons to draw the installations for
100 showers that had to use to water heated by the garbage incinerator of
krema lll. There was a shower room there since the map show it, and since
Bishop letter's talk about a REAL connection with hot water, this mean that
those shower heads had to be use there not for gasing but for another purpose.
So why not in other crematorias?

  In 1987, G. Wellers, who was ready normally to accept any kind of proof,
 said to the VSD magazine:

  So, this story about shower heads, you know, it doesnt proove anything.
  (Zero, Interview, may 1987, p.73)

 I've not study more those aspects. I know that C. Porter has a tendency to
disclaim more often the authenticity of documents than Faurisson, but one
is free to do what he want with that (yap now Mark)

  As usual, you take the traditionnal approach. Before friday, I will
 enumerate those sources in a list, but you will not apologized for
 those accusations, you will simply say: those are not valid!, the
 way you acted for the 550,000 holocaust survivors who emigrated in 
 Palestine after WW ll. Before friday. It's a bit long to build a whole

  I suggest that you shot yourself in the foot. First you claim that no
  German speaking native has ever claim the opposite, and my point
  was to say that I saw at least one, and I quoted him. Second, my
  point was to say that some dictionnaries are giving 2 definitions,
  one which is extermination, the other eradication, the first french-
  german dictionnary that I opened didn't give any specification for the
  living, and I'm sure several german-german dictionnaries dot not
  specify 'for the living', despite otehrs do.

   Ibokor sent that quotation recently:



Langenscheidt's Encyclopaedic Dictionary (1974), German-English, Vol
I, p. 182:

"ausrotten 2. (Volk, Rasse, etc.) exterminate, wipe out, extirpate;
              diese Krankheit rottete die ganze Bevoelkerung aus
              this disease wiped out the entire population;
              die Urbevoelkerung des Landes wurde ausgerottet
              the native population of the country was exterminated."
              
 Here a 1974 dictionnary gives 2 definitions, extirpate and exterminate:
 Do you claim that no German-German dictionnary gives eradicate 
 or exterminate without specifying anything about the livings?
 You are ready to put money on that?

 Again, the only explanation I have on that is from the same review,
 page 103: here Faurisson refer to page 456 of A.T.O. where Pressac
 show is 34 criminal proof, another gas tight door with a juda whole
 and the door is literally mention in German as a 'gas chamber door'
 In 1980, during the Faurisson trial , la LICRA tried to use this document 
 against Faurisson but he replied that this was a door for the delousing
 facility. I've not the other book where he present perhaps more details,
 all I know is that in the german sentence he quoted there's no reference
 to any leichenkeller in association with this juda hole. The way Faurisson
 wrote it, it seems that Pressac recognize that it is for a delousing
 facility, but the paragraph is a bit confuse here. I don't know if
 there's a juda hole for A door which is explicitelly refered as a
 Leichenkeller's door.


  However, I don't find really extraordinnary the fact that a door,
 wether it is for an appartment, a house, a morturaty or a delousing
 facility as a juda hole or a window. Some doors have it, some other
  not.

 That's really curious, if someone can explain it to me: 
 They seems to preferably register the revisionist claims,
  but there's exception: they started to keep track of Yale's
 postings, and I saw the name of Jamie McCarthy at least. They don't
 keep track of all my posts neither, like several others, and
 they do not recortd ehrlich posts. What are your critrias, guys?
 the weather?

  Everybody has his own threasold. In my case I found it convincing, despite
 2 or 3 suppositions appeared to be not correct later, among them the Goebbel's
 diary for which he made suppositions with the material he had, and up to know  it seems that the fate of the jews in Lublin was much more dramatic than what he estimated. But thanks a lot to recommand this book: you are immune, my conviction is that a majority of the people who will weight his arguments and those that exist in the classical books will not make the same choice. I'm not expecting anything else than a gradual, slow victory for revisionism, probably a quite one. The 'lie by omission' is another matter, sevral of the arguments
that appear here seems to me not accurate, if someone else judge those ones
as important, like the juda whole story, that's up to everyone judgment.

  Here you lost me. He quoted Hoess affidavit. 'He doesn't tell a word about
 furnacies at Treblinka'? But there was no furnacies at Treblinka. And 'we have
 to guess why 2000 is better than 200*10' ??? Well, it is the statement that  Hoess signed, he could have use this point but he skipped it indeed, why should he feel embarass because another part of Hoess affidavit was weird? He probably forgot to exploit this point also.

 and the evacuation of the soviet Jews. I promiss I'll spare you more

  An objective reader here could see that Mr Keren used only the
 words 'coward', 'Nazi', 'miserable', and 'lies'. He completelly
 forgot to use the traditionnal 'stupid', 'idiot',  and then it
 is clear that a changement is now on the way in mr Keren's mind,
 he's close to turn his coat and become one of our fellow revisionist.
 This is an encouraging sign.

..Except he forgot to add that they bring arguments to support their claims.

  But this remind me an event, Vidal-Naquet is  the man who broke my last
 reticences against revisionism. Four years ago I spent a whole month to
 read books after books since I was unemployed. I was skeptical, I couldn't
 be sure if the revisionist were right or not. Butz definitivelly impressed
 me more than any other. I ran across librairies, Lipstadt just desapointed
 me, she didn't even try to give a convincing rebutal to chapters like
 'hungarian jews', 'Auschwitz', 'The Final Solution' or 'Washington and
 New-York'. I did verify 20 or 30 references over perhaps 150 or 200,
 everything was clean. Than I found 'les assasins de la memoire', were
 Vidal-Naquet exposed those points that you wrote, and finally I got this
 kind of masterpiece. In a paragraph, he explained how the invention of
 documents was a current practice for revisionist, and gave the notorious
 exemple of this false red-cross report that Thie Christophersen used without
 checking if the original Brasilian newspaper's article was accurate or not
 (but of course, Vidal Naquet didn't talk about this brasilian newspaper
 which seems to have start that )

   Than, to discredit Butz, rather than to attack directly his arguments,
 he used the fact that Christophersen is quote in Butz' book. The way this
 paragraph was written, a reader who hadn't access to the hoax could only
 think that Christophersen was a proeminent witnes for Butz rather than a
 minor one, and that Butz' claim was that nazi camps were nice places.
 So since this red-cross report was false, Christophersen was a liar and
 Butz arguments collapse.
 When I checked back in the Hoax the pages Vidal-Naquet gave in his 'exposure',
 I discovered that the only minor use of Christophersen was

 1) to say that Christophersen claim on low mortality rate in Birkenau
   accounting for what he saw briefly in the summer of 1944 was not a relevant
   point. As soon he (Butz)checked the Nazi letter's exchange during the 1942=
   43 period, it was clear that the mortality rate was heavy
 2) When he talked about a letter exchange with him on the origin of the
   stench in Birkenau, an origin that he finally attributed to the rubber
   factories contrarelly to Christophersen
 3) To evaluate, among 5 or 6 witness plus a book about US military aerial
   operation, the date of the first bombardment in Birkenau. It is true
   that Christophersen was working kilometers away from Birkenau as Vidal
   Naquet said, but this was irrelevant for the case. His point was simply
   that this first raid was on 25 august and not in december (Hilberg's
   early version) and that since an evaluation of the defenses had to be
   done weeks before, the US air force took certanly photos during the
   Hungarian jews period.

   That's all. When I saw that a notorious man like Vidal-Naquet was just
  able to find such a cheap trick to 'unmask' Butz after 10 years, then
  I knew it was superflous to continue. That's how I turned revisionist.

 Yes or No: are you claiming that this article I found, Los Angeles
 Times, january 23 1995 were Lemberger , the director of Amicha
 and a specialist of this question claim that 300,000 holocaust survivors
 lives in Israel today and that their estimated number in the early
 50's was 550,000, are you claiming that I invented it? Yes or no?
 And if yes, do you claim you got this newspaper and verify before
 to call me a liar? If so I'll keep a track of that post and find
 a way to get the photo of the text, I'm returning in New York
 in september. Your point is to talk only about a part of the european
 immigration for a short period and call me a liar because I'm
 supposed to play on the confusion and include sepharadic immigration.
 Sepharadic were count as 'holocaust survivors' by Lemberger?
 So say it clearly: are you claiming that you've check in this newspaper
 and didn't find anything, and that it's the reason you call me a liar?
 If so, we'll havve some fun as soon I'll get a scanner

  My first intention was to  complete that with some further references,
 but since I've few time  I prefer to give only a fragment, the begining of
 Walter Sanning 'The dissolution of Eastern European Jewry'. Yale will say that
 this is a fraudulent reference since it is revisionist, but since I give
 also the neutral references he used, thatn Yale will have to point which
 one are fraudulent.

 W. Sanning:p.91

    The Jewish population was accorded a very special attention within the
  framework of the Soviet clearing measures. The Zionist Institute of Jewish
  Affairs (Institute) wrote for instance:

  In numerous cities and towns, p[articularly in the Ukraine and White
  Russia, Jews were among the first to be evacuated.

  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]

  The reason for this preferential treatment was seen by the Institute to
  be connected with the high percentage of Jews in the Soviet administration,
  among the office and blue-collar workers and the intelligentsia; it added;

      For this reason, despite the Army's urgent need for transportation,
      thousands of trains were provided for evacuation. Thus, not only
      were hundreds of thousands of human lives saved, but military highways
      were quickly cleared of millions of refugees.

  The Institute emphasized that there was no shortage of time to remove the
  civilian population, especially in the larger cities such as Kiev, Odesa,
  Smolensk, etc:

     ... there was time enough to evacuate the civilian population.

  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]


  The technica prerequisites had been met and the same means of transportation
  which brought the masses of the Red Army to the western front, were used on
  their return trip for the evacuation and the deportation of the civilian
  population. Also, one must assume that the Soviets, following their own
  example of the spring of 1940 when they deported the Polish Jewish refugees
  from Eastern Poland to Siberia, were not overly concerned with the comfort
  of the population scheduled to be removed.

    Shitomir, which contained 50,000 Jes before the war, was presented by the
  institute as an example of the relatively high percentage of Jews evacuated.
  Of theses, 44,000 (88%) left with the Soviet troops; considering that 53,000
  of the 95,000 inhabitants (minimum) of Shitomir had been evacuated, the
  Jewish share amounted to four-fifths of all evacuees!


  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]

    Minsk, too, confirms Zionist reports of a preferential treatment accorded
 the Jews by the Soviets in the evacuation program. After the occupation of
 Minsk within the first few days of the war, General Halder found no more
 than 100,000 of the former population of 240,000 (1939); the rest had fled,
 been evacuated or deported.

  [ Reitlinger, the final solution, p 223]

    Kube, the German Reich Commissar for White Russia, stated that all but a
  few thousands of the Jews of Minsk had gone with the Red Army

  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]

   Before the war, there were approximately 90,000 Jews in Minsk

   [ Encyclopaedia Judaica, vol 11, p 57 ]

    Assuming that the words 'few thousands' refer to 5,000, we obtain the
  following picture: About 60% of all evacuees (85,000 of 140,000) were
  Jews even though they constitued only 38% of the population.

   A Soviet Union specialist, Joshua Rothenberg of the Brandeis University
   put it bluntly:

     Much of the Jewish population of the conquered territories escaped
     annihilation by fleeing before the invading armies arrived

 [ Rothenberg, Joshua: "Jewish Religion in the Soviet Union", The Jews in
   Soviet Russia since 1917 (Lionel Kochan, Ed) London, 1970, p172]

  [...]

 Of Vitebsk's 100,000 Jews only 22,000 remained behind according to a report
 by the Soviet Jewish author David Bergelson of the Jewish Anti-Fascist
 committee in the Moscow newspaper Eynikeyt dated 9/5/1942.
 Reitlinger, who estimated the number of Jews in Soviet White Russia (borders
 of 1941) at 861,000, said the Germans found no more than 172,000 of them

  [ Reitlinger, The Final Solution, p 498]

  Kishinev in Bessarabia was occupied by the Axis on July 17, 1941.
  The Rumanian count of August 16, 1941, however found only 201 Jews of
  the former 70,000 living there before the war.

    Publikationsstelle Wien. Die Bevolkerungszahlung in Rumanien 1941
    (Geheim), Vienna, 1943, p.73

  [...]

  No wonder that David Bergelson was able to declare that at the end of 1942
  80% of the Jews in the conquered areas had been evacuated. He continued in
  the Moscow newspaper Eynikeyt of December 5, 1942 [...]

 **********************************************************************

  Those operations started even before the German invasion, simply because
  Staline didn't trust Hitler and had already in the mind to move as much
  as possible the machinery and the qualified labor toward east.

  Now Yale, if you claim that Sanning invented those sources, or one or
  two of it, I wonder why Wiesenthal spend so much time to promote
  censorship rather than to blast Sanning's credibility. If it's so easy
  to demolish his claims by other means, why?

  An interesting aspect about it is that since there's two definitions
 for ausrottung, the revisionist are just avoiding real issues when
 they use the term 'wipe out' or eradicate because a very, very accurate
 definition would say that it means only 'extermination' for the livings.
 Then, despite some dictionnaries do not gives this specification, the revisionist
 who claim that Himmler used ausrottung in a semi-figurative way in connection
 to the expulsion of the Jews are supposed to lie.

  However, if I ask why Himmler equated 'evacuation of the jews' (jUDENEVAKUIERUNG)
  to ausrottung at the begining of his speech, guess what will be the answer:
  Himmler used the word 'evacuation' in a figurative way!

  Well, in my case I could face serious legal problems if I use my
 real name. It seems 'obvious' to you that any revisionist should
 post under his name, but it's not wishable for a guy like me who run
 the diesel of the Treblinka's gas chambers to use my real name.

  For the case of the polish Jews, a lot on the eastern part were evacuated
 in 1940 by the soviets and I'll give my references about that next weekend.
 I'll verify later but I don't think the Koehrer report gives anything else then
 estimations based on the pre-German invasion for those territories, but we'll
 take a look at that next weekend. My claim was only restricted to soviet jews,
 jews who were both exterminated according to 'eizengruppen reports' and saved
 for the bulk of them according to jewish sources in 1942-43.

 Yes or No: are you claiming that this article I found, Los Angeles
 Times, january 23 1995 were Lemberger , the director of Amicha
 and a specialist of this question claim that 300,000 holocaust survivors
 lives in Israel today and that their estimated number in the early
 50's was 550,000, are you claiming that I invented it? Yes or no?
 And if yes, do you claim you got this newspaper and verify before
 to call me a liar? If so I'll keep a track of that post and find
 a way to get the photo of the text, I'm returning in New York
 in september. Your point is to talk only about a part of the european
 immigration for a short period and call me a liar because I'm
 supposed to play on the confusion and include sepharadic immigration.
 Sepharadic were count as 'holocaust survivors' by Lemberger?
 So say it clearly: are you claiming that you've check in this newspaper
 and didn't find anything, and that it's the reason you call me a liar?
 If so, we'll havve some fun as soon I'll get a scanner

  The problem Yale, is that you disclaim my sources in a too much
 generalistic way. Let say that in 1 month 1/2 I'm comming with this picture. Then
 you will say: well, with your records Beaulieu, is was normal to think that you
 lied. However, if you claim: I've look your reference, and you lie! than I'll be
 able to call you a liar in a month and a half. Some people don't care about their
 reputation, someone who follow Grynspan and McVay during a whole year could fill
 perhaps a gigabyte of FAQS abou this or this lie, one more will not make any difference.
 In your case however, you prefer to be carefull and 'lie by omission' or otherwise to
 claim something in a way too keep a minimum of reputation. This is why you havn't the
 balls to claim: _I've check_ and you lied. One objective observer could see that the
 method of guys like Curtis and you is to ask for references, even when they were already
 given several times in the past (for any topic), but to disclaim it as 'lies' when a guy give
 it, but without taking the risk to state _I've check_. You know that I would seased the
 opportunity to harass you over a year if you would do that.

  The samething can be said about Sanning: here, it is not sure that I could find his sources,
 but I'm asking you to point _which one_ is fabricated, and for that you could search in newspapers,
 anti-revisionist books, but here again they failed to accuse Sanning
 of that. 'Liar' in a generalistic way is less risky.

  My first intention was to  complete that with some further references,
 but since I've few time  I prefer to give only a fragment, the begining of
 Walter Sanning 'The dissolution of Eastern European Jewry'. Yale will say that
 this is a fraudulent reference since it is revisionist, but since I give
 also the neutral references he used, thatn Yale will have to point which
 one are fraudulent.

 W. Sanning:p.91

    The Jewish population was accorded a very special attention within the
  framework of the Soviet clearing measures. The Zionist Institute of Jewish
  Affairs (Institute) wrote for instance:

  In numerous cities and towns, p[articularly in the Ukraine and White
  Russia, Jews were among the first to be evacuated.

  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]

  The reason for this preferential treatment was seen by the Institute to
  be connected with the high percentage of Jews in the Soviet administration,
  among the office and blue-collar workers and the intelligentsia; it added;

      For this reason, despite the Army's urgent need for transportation,
      thousands of trains were provided for evacuation. Thus, not only
      were hundreds of thousands of human lives saved, but military highways
      were quickly cleared of millions of refugees.

  The Institute emphasized that there was no shortage of time to remove the
  civilian population, especially in the larger cities such as Kiev, Odesa,
  Smolensk, etc:

     ... there was time enough to evacuate the civilian population.

  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]


  The technica prerequisites had been met and the same means of transportation
  which brought the masses of the Red Army to the western front, were used on
  their return trip for the evacuation and the deportation of the civilian
  population. Also, one must assume that the Soviets, following their own
  example of the spring of 1940 when they deported the Polish Jewish refugees
  from Eastern Poland to Siberia, were not overly concerned with the comfort
  of the population scheduled to be removed.

    Shitomir, which contained 50,000 Jes before the war, was presented by the
  institute as an example of the relatively high percentage of Jews evacuated.
  Of theses, 44,000 (88%) left with the Soviet troops; considering that 53,000
  of the 95,000 inhabitants (minimum) of Shitomir had been evacuated, the
  Jewish share amounted to four-fifths of all evacuees!


  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]

    Minsk, too, confirms Zionist reports of a preferential treatment accorded
 the Jews by the Soviets in the evacuation program. After the occupation of
 Minsk within the first few days of the war, General Halder found no more
 than 100,000 of the former population of 240,000 (1939); the rest had fled,
 been evacuated or deported.

  [ Reitlinger, the final solution, p 223]

    Kube, the German Reich Commissar for White Russia, stated that all but a
  few thousands of the Jews of Minsk had gone with the Red Army

  [(Institute of Jewish affairs, 'Hitler's ten-year war on the Jews,
  New York, 1943 , p 186)]

   Before the war, there were approximately 90,000 Jews in Minsk

   [ Encyclopaedia Judaica, vol 11, p 57 ]

    Assuming that the words 'few thousands' refer to 5,000, we obtain the
  following picture: About 60% of all evacuees (85,000 of 140,000) were
  Jews even though they constitued only 38% of the population.

   A Soviet Union specialist, Joshua Rothenberg of the Brandeis University
   put it bluntly:

     Much of the Jewish population of the conquered territories escaped
     annihilation by fleeing before the invading armies arrived

 [ Rothenberg, Joshua: "Jewish Religion in the Soviet Union", The Jews in
   Soviet Russia since 1917 (Lionel Kochan, Ed) London, 1970, p172]

  [...]

 Of Vitebsk's 100,000 Jews only 22,000 remained behind according to a report
 by the Soviet Jewish author David Bergelson of the Jewish Anti-Fascist
 committee in the Moscow newspaper Eynikeyt dated 9/5/1942.
 Reitlinger, who estimated the number of Jews in Soviet White Russia (borders
 of 1941) at 861,000, said the Germans found no more than 172,000 of them

  [ Reitlinger, The Final Solution, p 498]

  Kishinev in Bessarabia was occupied by the Axis on July 17, 1941.
  The Rumanian count of August 16, 1941, however found only 201 Jews of
  the former 70,000 living there before the war.

    Publikationsstelle Wien. Die Bevolkerungszahlung in Rumanien 1941
    (Geheim), Vienna, 1943, p.73

  [...]

  No wonder that David Bergelson was able to declare that at the end of 1942
  80% of the Jews in the conquered areas had been evacuated. He continued in
  the Moscow newspaper Eynikeyt of December 5, 1942 [...]

 **********************************************************************

  Those operations started even before the German invasion, simply because
  Staline didn't trust Hitler and had already in the mind to move as much
  as possible the machinery and the qualified labor toward east.

  Now Yale, if you claim that Sanning invented those sources, or one or
  two of it, I wonder why Wiesenthal spend so much time to promote
  censorship rather than to blast Sanning's credibility. If it's so easy
  to demolish his claims by other means, why?

  And Abels should think a bit before to write tons of insults. In all the
cases you play the same arrogant game, despite the datas are quite clear for
a while. Nobody here need to know very good german to understand that matter:
it was said by Jamie McCarthy that the word has 2 meanings, eradication
(wipe out) and extermination, but that a more accurate definition is extermi-
nation when the word is applied to the livings. Indeed, some dictionnaries
gives this specification and some other just talk about either eradication
either extermination. I don't need to be fluent in german to understand that,
since it was said by several others. However, when someone use his common
sense with a dictionnary, rather than to argument you immediatelly advise
him to learn german correctly. When a guy know german reasonnably like
Ehrlich, you jump on few othograph faults, as if it would 'show' your point.
When a guy know german perfectly, as this guy (Conrad) than you claim that
his opinion is worthless because 'he falsified a translation'.

>Schon mal was von "Euphemismus" gehoert, du Schwachkopf?

  And I repeat it: in what german dictionnary can we find a dual definition
  for evakuieren, herr Abel? Himmler equate explicitelly the word evacuation
  to ausrottung at the begining of his speech:

 "I mean the evacuation of the Jews (die Judenevakuierung) the Ausrottung of
 the Jews."

 Ausrottung: litterally wipe out, in several dictionnaries, eradication
  or extermination, with an emphasis on the second word when talking about
  the livings. In other dictionnaries, eradication or extermination, without
  any specification.

 Now you claim that Himmler didn't try to explain his use of Ausrotten with
 the word Evacuation, but... the opposite! And that the word 'evakuieren',
 a word for which there's not 2 definitions, take suddenly a new sense, not
 eradication, which is the closest synonym, but extermination. By which
 miracle?

I saw a message fron rblackmore were he talked about the word
'ausrotten' which is tempered by the  use of 'Ausschaltung', and that
the meaning is changed there. I will not comment on that except to say
that something escape me untill now...

 Revisionist like Irving provided some example, I saw at least one, where
 the meaning is, in his mind, different than extermination. Since the
 words means literraly wipe out, the revisionist point of view is to
 say that Himmler used it in a figurative sense, in my mind it refer
 to a violent (sometimes) eradication of the Jews. Annie Halpert brought
 her definition in a dictionnary where there was 2 definitions, eradication
 and extermination. I saw the samthing in a dictionnary, where the question
 of the livings wasn't mention. Here we are supposed to be liars because our
 interpretation about a figurative sense is suppose to be fishy. Indeed they
 will say, nothing allow seriously anyone to consider that in Himmler's mind
 it meant eradication or evacuation, with some reference to 500 or 1000
 bodies as bodies of jews who were partisans, despite Himmler refers often
 to jews as saboteurs in his speeches. So the revisionist claim that in Himmler's
 mind the word 'ausrotten' refer to a figurative, litteral sense like 'wipe-out'
 is suppose to be a poor contorsion to avoid a fact since nothing in the speech
  can lead anyone to think that it mean 'evacuation' in Himmler's mind.

  But what's about the fact that Himmler say explicitelly at the begining of his
 speech:
 "I mean the evacuation of the Jews (die Judenevakuierung), the extermination
 (Ausrottung)?
  Well, here we are told, the word ausrottung is equate to evacuation
  explicitelly, but this is because Himmler is using a secret terminoloy. Beautiful...

  What I realized today is the nature of the syllogism. You calim that
 your knowledge of german gives you a kind of authority, however it doesn't
 proove me your honesty. Now, despite the bulk of the dictionnaries
 gives 2 meanings, eradication and exterminations, I'm told that it is the
 second interpretation that is the only possible one because the word is applied
 to the living since a fraction of those dictionnaries gives this specfication.
 In that case one who believe that Himmler used it in a figurative way is 'obviously'
 wrong. However, Himmler state explicitelly at the begining of this paragraph:
 I mean the evacuation of the Jews (die Judenevakuierung) the 'extermination' of
 the Jews (Ausrottung).
 In your claim it is ridicoulous to say that Himmler bring back one of the two
 meaning of Ausrottung (eradication) to 'evacuation', the first word, but it is
 'logical' to say that he bring back the first word, a word for which I never eared
 anyone who claim that it has a dual meaning in any dictionnary, to the non 'evacuation'
 meaning of Ausrottung. Beautifull.

  Since Speer is a credible source for you, this mean simply that a post-war
  claim from him is based either on the Numremberg documentation and the 'con-
  fessions' that were generated there, either by the atmosphere of the time
  which placed the gas chamber story as a dogma. Since Speer is not suppose to
  have ear about it from Hitler or Himmler, than a post-war opinion in his case
  hasn't any further autority than the average german.

  The Troll Hilberg may have his opinion, it doesn't change to the fact that
his opinions are contradicted by reports that came out during the alleged events.
Mr Hilberg is, as far as I can determine, a troller who's only interest is
to bring phony numbers. While he can sound superficially plausible, he has lied
about an 'extermination order' (while accusing others of lying) , misrepresented
documents in his book, refused to document other claims, pretended not to see
documented refutation of his claims (even when they were shown to him in
court), refused to be confront in 1988 a second time and generally conducted
himself with such complete lack of intellectual and factual integrity that
there seems to be no point in taking the time to give any value to his unreference
opinion.
For detailed and documented evidence of this, please refer to

  Mr Edeinken, impossible is not soviet, despite I judge your 4,000,000 figure
 doubtious, but the evacuation started even before the German invasion. If
 you want to complain, you can fill a letter of protestation to the officials
 of the institue of jewish affairs who wrote that book in 1943, and the relatives
 of David Bergelson. But perhaps are you denying that the soviets brought
 millions of soldiers to the zone of hostility? the same railroad cars were used
 to evacuate Jews and skill labor when they got back.

  If they are authentic. No doubt that the Einsatzgruppen  killed many people,
 jewish commisars, their famillies, and civilians in blind represails: in that
 case, all we would need is to authentify the couple of reports that bears
 a handwritten notification. A small fraction apparently, but this is possible
 and the case could be prooven especially for the SS who didn't fall in the
 hand of the soviets after the war, no cohercition could be make in their
 cases. Unfortunatelly, this wasn't done.
 Dawidowicz and all the others based their claim on the Einsatzgruppen reports
 because they chose to trust the soviets and to accept them as genuine, and
 also because it is their job to feed the post war propaganda.

    Again, the question is open: the soviet records on such a matter are not
 lighter than the Gestapo records. What would you say to someone who
 say that it is fishy to claim that the Gestapo may have forge documents
 or torture prisonners to get confessions? You need more than to quote a
 sov.. Einsatzgruppen report, you need to explain why no forgery or cohercition
 was possible. A SS who didn't fall in the hands of the soviets, a ss who
 signed a document on a relevant page AND than I consider that it's enough
 serious for an ultimate expertise, graphologic. I'm not saying that such
 reports are necesserally falses in all the cases: I'm mefiant. For any normal
 crime a scientific expertise is required, and I'm told there that for a
 huge crime this wasn't done.

  Mr Edeiken like to play with words. Indeed, the way I remember it, and
 I didn't read it a long time ago but 2 months ago, it was said that
 300,000 Holocaust survivors lives in Israel today and that their estimated
 number was 550,000 in the early fifties. Since most of them have now 60, 70
 or 80 years old, Lamberger's claim make sense. Indeed, the article didn't say
 1945-50.

>the number of Holocaust survivors in Europe in 1950 which you counted twice.

  No Mr Edeiken. I said once without checking in my books that a rough number
for the Jews who lived in the non-soviet part of Europe was about 1 million
in the early fifties. It was impossible back those days to lead an accurate
census because Jews were moving around from countries to countries, there
was a lot of displaced persons. However, if there's no way to know exactly
the number of Jews who lived in Europe in 1950, or 1953 if you want, but
there's an indirect way:

 AJYB, quoted by Sanning (probably the annual Jewish Year Book), 1971 vol 72
p 476: an exhaustive description country by country which gives 860,000
Jews in Europe in 1970, excluding Soviet Union. More than 180,000 European
Jews immigrated in Israel between 1952-1970 also. Even if you want to consider
that 'the early fifties' in Lamberger's mind meant 1953, if we consider the
fact that Jews even back those days were assimilated to some extent and
hadn't a strong demographical growth, that USA, Canada and South America
received also Jewish immigrants from Europe after 1950 (or 1952-53 whatsover)
So an estimation of about half a million Holocaust survivors in the early
fifties, based on Lamberger's claim, let say in 1952, in Israel, an estimation
of a million or even more Jews in Europe the same year is absolutelly not
a bad estimation. To that we should add the number of those who emigrated
in USA,Canada, Argentina and other countries  between 1945-1952, plus the
large number who emigrated illegally in USA during the war and those who
immigrated in Israel after the war WITHOUT BEING LABEL AS EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS.
Sepharadics immigrants, who were not sepharadic, but European refugees from
the Balkans who went in Turkey, Iran or in the Maghreb via France for other
Jews, and who had to live there a couple of years because no other country
was ready to accept them. It is your numbers that are phony Yale. What,
you want me to backup my last claim also? this evening or tomorrow. Despite
I conceed the number of Jews who perished _in the hand of the nazis_ could
be more than a million, perhaps even  2 millions, there's a gap for uncertanty
here, adding the casualties of the Soviet Jews and the Polish Jews who
perished in Siberia can't lead to a 5 million figure.

 Since you respond normally quicker than your shadow, may I assume
 that for those 2 speeches, the first one where 'Ausrotten' is translate
 by extermination, and the second one (6 oct.) there's no phonographic
 record for the most incriminating part (second paragraph, second speech)?
 I didn't eared in the past about a phonographic record for the 6 octoober 
 speech. Were ear less frequently about this one, despite there's no
 ambiguity about the translation here. You mixed both in such a way that
 one could think there's a tape record for both, no?

  Here you mixed two speeches.  I'm not sure if there's a recording
 of the 6 october speech, however, If so, for this one, I don't see
 any possible ambiguity. For the 6 october speech, I've no hypothesis
 except that the speech may be false. In that case, I've not 10,000$, I
 havn't even 1,000$ at the bank. Probably I'll have in a year or two.
 I remember 7 or 8 months ago how J. MOrris appeared so much self-confident
 on his claims about crematories untill... someone decided to verify
 and the what appeared to be a certanty due to the level of 'arrogance'
 of Nizkor collapsed. I'm not 100% impress by McVay's challendge. If we talk
 about the 6 october speech, not the 4 october, it is highly possible that
 I'll have the money in a year or two. However, I want to check something
 before:

 -Voice recognition: how is it accurate?
  I havn't any reference on that. Signature recognition is 99.99% accurate,
  but I know also that the polygraph test is not recognized as suffisantly
  accurate in court cases. You can't expect any one to take up this challendge 
  if there's no way to know in advance if the accuracy is just 70%, especially
  when we deal with the relevant part of the speech. Any reference?

 -Again, the 'ausrotten' excerp is not relevant to me, it is the 6
  october speech that wake up my curiosity. Do you mean tha Nizkor would
  accept an expertise from any laboratory? Not their single choice?

  I'm curious about the 6 october speech now. This one I would like
  to know definitivelly what to think about it. I'm too poor actually,
  but this one is more interesting than the other, and I hope I'll be
  able to gather 5,000$ in a delay of 18 months.

  Another lie by omission. Firts you claimed that in this New York Times article
 (23 january 1995) where Lamberger spoke there was no claim that about half
 a million holocaust survivors immigrated in Israel between 1945-50. Indeed, it
 was just claim that there was about half a million holocaust survivors there
 in the early fifties, which is something completelly different obviously :-)
 Second you accused me of misrepresenting Hilberg by quoting him selectivelly
 while I quoted Reitlinger via Sanning (and it was explicitelly said). Defini-
 tivelly it is not your week Yale, despite in this case I think simply you made
 an error. But now you claim to be an expert in that field (Speer) and that
 he claim at Nuremberg that he was aware about an extermination policy:

>or Himmler.  He charged that Himmler was was running the camps with the
>purpose of exterminating the inmates while he was trying to preserve them as
>workers for his armaments industry.  Nor does he leave Hitler out of the

  You doubt that I ever read Speer's book and also Speer's testimony at
 Nuremberg. In the first case, I read fragments of his books 2 years ago,
 mainly those related to Jews and what stroke me was that despite Speer was
 in contact with Himmler and Hitler in the chapters I read he relied upon
 Nuremberg documents mainly. Nowhere I remember to have see a statement like
 'When Hitler explain me what happened to the Jews', or 'I was in conflict
 with Himmler when he exposed to us the mass gassing of Jews', nothing of that
 kind. He used the same documents than Laqueur or Hilberg, and from such a
 proeminent man, who would have, in your theory, first hand informations
 rather than Nuremberg documents, this sound incredible. But not so much...

   I didn't read Speer testimony directly, as I said, but I based my claim
 on a book, 'Albert Speer, la fin d'un mythe' (Matthias Schmidt) who described
 his testimony at Nuremberg. It is true that in several occasions he could
 proove that he involve himself to improve the life conditions of the inmates,
 and this can be for the camps in Germany also (more food, etc..)
 However, the main element of his defense on that was that he 'didn't know'.
 In another book, 'l'immortalite du pouvoir' (the immortality of power)
 page 50:
 "Mr Speer, at Nuremberg, you stated that you were not aware about the murder
  of Jews. And in the Spandau journal, you wrote: "It is at the latest in 1939
  that I should have guess their fate. After 1942, I should have know"

  It is quite possible that due to the atmosphere at Nuremberg, and after,
 he believed really the propaganda claim. The main elements of his testimony
 were definitivelly that he wasn't aware about any hidden sense for 'deportation
 to the East' and that he wasn't curious about it. As a specialist of Speer
 Yale, you can't ignore that but you chose to selectivelly skip this big aspect
 and to use a minor one, some interventions to get more food for the inmates
 (I'm not even sure that it was for Auschwitz).

    There's still another possibility: it's posssible to me that Speer didn't
 believed the charges at Nuremberg and chose to save his head. Indeed, it is
 what he did when he used this fishy story about hi so called plannified
 murder attempt against Hitler. He prooved that he was able to lie against
 his fellows to save his head, and he prooved also that he was eager for pu-
 blicity after the war, he wanted to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of
 Germans. He knew that he had a superstar status. In the Schmidt books,
 a non-revisionist book, Speer's editor , Siedler, who wanted to make a best
 seller with Speer's book, sent him back often his pages saying: Mr Speer,
 you can't write it like that, impossible! (page 18, french version). In all
 the cases, Speer's had a strong ego and he wasn't enough stupid to contest
 Nuremberg's charges in his memoirs: he wrote this book over a long period,
 and he did it to become a star, from the description of Speer's character
 in this book, this is clear and net. Rudolf Wolters, his friend for 40 years,
 wrote him after the reading of this book: "I'm now in conflict with myself,
 between my old friendship for you and an instinctive repulsion." He concluded:
 "One couldn't write a better detective novel than that" (page 20)
 In all the cases, Speer used Nuremberg records in the chapter which deal
 with Jews, and he never claimed that he was aware about an extermination
 policy.

I havn't yet receive any response to my question about the strange
way Nizkor keep track of people's posts here, but for a while, I was 
looking at my name in the people directory: it happened! I broke the
1 Meg bareer recently I joined A. Baron, Tom Moran, M. Giwer and a couple
of others in the millionaire club (while Matt may have join it after a month).
Perhaps one could say I'm a bit emotive (or nut), but this is an important

 Please, stop to lie Mr McFee. I never contest that the word Ausrotten had,
 among two definitions, this one: exterminate. I said that it had 2 definitions,
 and the quote you reproduce is similar to the one I found in a German-French
 dictionnary: _extirper_ OR exterminer. So I said that 'eradication' (extirper
 or eradication) was the other possibility. To show your point, you bring some
 dictionnaries that seems to put an emphasis on 'exterminate' when this word
 is applied to the livings, however, as I said:

 1) There's dictionnaries that do not gives this specification about the livings
    and  you can't certanly proove that Himmler decided to read the dictionnary
    you decided to quote before to make his speech
 2) The litteral sense is wipe-out, as it was stated by Jamie McCarthy

 Furthermore, you insist on the 'fact' that nobody who is fluent in German has
 ever accept the 'eradication' equivalent here. This is wrong: first Bjorn
 Conrad, who's name is not less german than Gord McFee, learned German in
 a German shool and was involved in German issues, other than revisionist.
 Second, Ehrlich, who understand not so bad german criticized your statement.
 But there's more: I've contact Ingrid Rimmland, and despite she said that
 this is 'a strong word', she said the interpretation 'wipe-out' sounds correct
 to her. She's a native german. I know, you will bring again your sophisticated
 dictionnary and claim that after a lenghtly analysis and the opinion of such
 eminent grammarian the meaning 'extermination' is the only right one here if
 we want to be ultra-accurate, , but Himmler, as Ingrid, didn't study 25
 dictionnaries and 6 grammar books published in 1980 before to use it: he
 took the litteral meaning. Or perhaps, you will say that since Ingrid is
 revisionist, her opinion hasn't any value since it is a subjective one? and what
 about yours? I bet it is the ontological argument of the hollohugers. Perhaps
 we should start to newsgroups, one for the revisionist ans one for the anti-
 revisionist, 2 newsgroups for the price of one.

  The Troll Hilberg may have his opinion, it doesn't change to the fact that
his opinions are contradicted by reports that came out during the alleged events.
Mr Hilberg is, as far as I can determine, a troller who's only interest is
to bring phony numbers. While he can sound superficially plausible, he has lied
about an 'extermination order' (while accusing others of lying) , misrepresented
documents in his book, refused to document other claims, pretended not to see
documented refutation of his claims (even when they were shown to him in
court), refused to be confront in 1988 a second time and generally conducted
himself with such complete lack of intellectual and factual integrity that
there seems to be no point in taking the time to give any value to his unreference
opinion.
For detailed and documented evidence of this, please refer to

    http://www.webcom.com/~ezundel/english/01.ftp.kulaszka.6M/09.Hilberg

  Did six million really die?, Hilberg's testimony at Zundel's trial. A bit
 long to read but the Troll Hilberg destroy himself more and more and his
 self-confidance of the begining melt gradually as Christie is conducting
 cross-examination.

  Again, Sanning _didnt_ use Hilberg as a source in the text I posted, but
  Reitlinger.

     It was ironical. Could you explain me now what is the main difference
 between stating that half a million holocaust survivors emigrated to Israel
 between 1945-1950 and claiming that there was about half a million Holocaust
 survivors in Israel in the early fifties? The last one was Lamberger's claim,

  No, you didn't, you used Hilberg. You havn't quote Reitlinger in this post.
 Why I didn't quote Reitlinger directly? Because I hadn't the book with me and
 it was quicker to use Sanning. Weird question. I'll ask you a similar one:
 why don't you deposit your pay check in my bank account? There's unexplanable
 things like that for which there's no answer.

  I've already state that I read the chapters which deals with the Jewish
 question 2 years ago. I've already say that I read about Speer testimony in
 Nuremberg in a book and it was say explicitelly by him that he claimed to
 be unaware about a mass liquidation of Jews. Reading few hundred pages in
 miscellaneous NMT volumes to learn what I already know (through a non-revi
 sionist author who read it) is worthless. Is it a tactic for pushing me to
 waste my time? I've just open 12 NMT books today and Speer's testimony was
 in 3 of those ones. In a case he refer to Mathausen (it's probably the question
 you rise up about his intervention to get bearable conditions for the inmates
 or to 'stop' the extermination of Jews). Mathausen isn't described as an ex-
 termination center for Jews in the Holocaust version. It is suffisant for me
 to know that an author who studied carefully Speer's testimony state that
 Speer denied knowledge about it, and the fact that Speer in an interview (in
 the book) stated it again.

 I'm not stupid, never I imagined that he was charged, as a minister of arming,
 of killing directly the Jews. But as I said, his own words where:

 Because he claimed himself that he was unaware: see the book "l'immoprtalite

   A small comment, 500 or 1,000 bodies is not 6 millions and it is not
obvious to me that this refer to an extermination policy. As you know,
Himmler rejected the responsability of the war on Jews, the sabotage against
german interest, the killing of german soldiers and saw them as a fifth
column. Furthermore, the allied bombardments which were causing heavy casual-
ties in the civilian population really disgusted the Nazi leaders. One can say
that they were hypocrits when they fake indignation about the Katyn mass
grave, but in the case of the german civilians, no doubt this time they were
sinceres in there indignation. Since in the Nazi circles the Jews were seing
as the real responsables (i.e. the press in USA) who pushed to war, it is
also possible that Himmler refered to the corpses of German civilians. In that
case, the final solution was often described as a way to preserve the unity
of the German nation. Hitler's views was that Germany lost the first world
war because of the presence of Jews (marxist, pacifist) in that country.
There's another possibility, it is that he refered to the bodies of Jewish
partisans killed by them. The frontier between a jewish fighter an a jewish
civilian wasn't clearly defined in their mind, all the Jews were classified
as ennemies. Indeed, there was anyway jewish resistance. Finaly, it is possible
that Himmler refered to Jewish civilians, since their expulsion program was
sometimes violent. See my messages today about Goebbel's diary.

 So? You can score a point with that against someone who would like to describe
 Himmler as a sensitive humanist, but I never said he wasn't a criminal.

   The evidence I provided was based on miscellaneous jewish source which
 stated during WWll that the bulk of the soviet Jews were evacuated before tthe
 germans came. This leaves less than 700,000 behind. I'm not claiming that
 those reports are all forgeries: I'm saying that I have doubts. I'm sure that
 they killed many jewish commissars, their families, other Jews in blind
 represails: but I've no certanty about the real number. Most of those reports
 are not signed despite some are, in that case what interest me is those which
 were signed by SS who didn't fall into soviet or allieds hands. But I still
 don't know if the report where about 363,000 Jews are described as liquidated
 is genuine or not. This one is an interesting one: I've read Irving statements
 about it (at the Zundel trial) and he present some interesting arguments
 against it. I think I asked to D. Keren if the initials that appear on the
 page were the murders are count (it's on his site) are supposed to be Himmler's
 initials but I didn't get any answer.

 Wrongo. I've check and it's the americans. I made an error here, despite
 it is also true that some of them were provided by the soviets. In this
 case, it doesn't change so much the things if I consider other similar cases
 were the US american staff was involved. See Carlos Porter's article on
 the codoh:

 I read a lot of stuff about Nuremberg's trials. I'm not claming that torture
was systematically used, this wasn't the case for the majority of the proemi-
nent leaders. However, it was clear for the defendent that those trials hadn't
anything to do with justice but were established to show to the German people
who there leaders were mad, by charging them with all the possible accusations,
true or falses. The defendant faced a tribunal establish by the winners of the
war, it wasn't a 'normal' trial, an impartial trial. They knew that. They knew
that their best way to avoid the gallow was to shift responsability on people
who were no longer there (example:Himmler) rather than to contest the charges.
Claiming to their judges, wether they were jews or not: keep your bulshit for
you, this is just a parody of justice, was a stupid attitude. The majority
knew that the only intelligent approach was either to claim ignorance, either
when such an approach was impossible due to their position in the Reich to
shift responsability on someone else an claim that they did try to stop an
extermination policy, or to invent, like Speer, a so-called attempt to murder
Hitler. The article 19 and 21 were quite clear. In no case this tribunal, and
the defense, consider that hey had to proove the charges or to disclaim it.
It wasn't in the agenda. Several proeminent people back those days in USA and
elsewhere rejected the legitimacy of those trials and claimed that it was a
parody of justice, something that was establish to built a posteriori proofs
by confessions and statements from people who hadn't any other choice than to
play the game.

  Now, I don't know if Karl Hanke really had this enterteinment with Speer.
Speer was a pragmatic, while in Nuremberg the defendant usually avoided to
attack Hitler directly because they kept some respect for their ex-fuehrer,
Speer did it (a so-called murder attempt). You will state again "You didn't
read Speer's testimony", I read a book however which described his testimony.
Speer, according to some of his friends, completelly changed after the war.
He was eager for publicity. He wanted to rehabilitate himself in the mind of
the Germans. He wanted to start his new career for a while. He received advices
>from  his future publisher along years. I don't know if he invented this story
about Karl Hanke to show his image of 'a good guy among the scums', or if he
really had this enterteinment. It's possible that Hanke told him that horrible
things were taking place in Upper Silesia. It's possible that Hanke refered
to the high date rate in the camp in 1942, or the hard condition of life,
or executions of inmates suspected of sabotage. Speer could have interpret
that after the war as gassing of Jews. It's possible that Hanke told him
about horrific things in Poland (execution of Jews somewhere) and that Speer
mixed several things years after. Or perhaps Speer invented this story.
I'm considering much more what get out of Auschwitz during the alleged events
than a story of the man who saw the man who saw the man who saw the bear.

  Again, it is a question of wether this entertainment occured really in such
a way. Schirach was apparently one of the less anti-jewish among the defendants,
and it's a certanty that brutalities against the Jews disgusted him. He got
semi-disgrace from that during the war. There was
executions. I believe the Gobbels diary. I consider it as entirelly genuine.
The expelling of the Jews was not a pacific rellocation. We know the words
Himmler used in the 4 october speech. In that case, Shirach is supposed to
have confirm that Himmler talked about a systematic extermination policy the
4 october. The ambiguity between a violent expelling program and an extermina-
tion policy is there. Schirach may have understand the speech as a violent
expelling program back those days. And he could, 3 years after, remember it
in a different way if he believed the gas chamber story when he learned about
those ones. He could also have say to Speer that he was shocked by the way
Himmler talked about the Jews and Speer could interpret that as a systematic
liquidation. We are told by a man decades after what Shirach allegedly
described in a private (was it so much private?) entertainment something odd
about that story and I have to rely upon Speer's memory. But that is enough
with the hypothesis now, lets get to the facts. Why do I reject what you
consider as 'obvious?'. It is because I have contradictory datas. like the
Goebbel's diary. datas for which Nizkor hasn't any response. This diary can
not be explain by a 'faulty memory' or an attempt of a man who wanted to
rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the germans. It was written during the
alleged events.

   Nizkor use the excerp where Goebbels describe how 60% of the Jews are
liquidated in the process of evacuation. Nowhere in the diary the gas chamber
are mentionned. The way Goebbels talk about it, it seems that he was shown
reports about what happened at a specific moment when the Jews were evacuated
>from  Lublin. Clearly something odd happened. Probably that several were gunn
machined. Perhaps sme others were used to walk in mine's fields and remove
them when they exploded with it. I don't know. But during a certan period, in
a specific location, we are sure that several Jews were liquidated for their
race, not for anti-Nazi activities. They use also an irrelevant excerp of the
6 march 1942 where Goebbels state that the greater the number of Jews liquidated,
the more consolidated will the situation in Europe after the war. 'Irrelevant'
here, because in the peragraph above Goebbels described the actions of sabotage
in russia and jewish partisans. Now, the excerp Nizkor doesn't mention:

 march 7

  I read a detailed report from the SD and police regarding a final solution
  of the Jewish question. Any final solution involves a tremendous number of
  viewpoints. The Jewish question must be solved within a Pan-European frame.
  There are 11 million Jews still in Europe. They will have to be concentrated
  later, to begin with, in the east. Possibly and island, such as Madagascar,
  can be assigned to them after the war. In any case there can be no peace in
  Europe untill the last Jews are eliminated from the continent.

  (the goebbels diaries, Louis P Lochner, 1948)

 page 138, march 19:

 Finally we talked about the Jewish question: here the fuhrer is as uncompromissing
 as ever.  Jews must be got out of Europe, if necessary by applying most brutal
 methods.

 The Luther memorendum, written in august 1942:

 [...]
 to the governments there as to whether they wanted to recall their
 Jews from Germany in due time or to agree to their deportation to
 the ghettos in the East. To the issuance of this instruction agreement
 [...]
   The German Legation in Bucharest reports with reference to D lll
 602 Secret, that the Rumanian Gouvernment would leave it to the
 Reich Government to deport their Jews along with the German Jews
 to ghettos in the East. They are not interest in having the Rumanian
 jews return to Rumania.
 [...]
 The Legation in Bratislava reported with reference to D lll 661 Secret
 that the Slovak Government is fundamentally in agreement with the
 deportation to the eastern ghettos. But the Slovak claims to the proper-
 ty of these Jews should not be endammaged.

 [...]
 The intended deportations are a further step forward on the way of the
 total solution and are in respect to the other countries (Hungary) very
 important. The deportation to the Government General is a temporary
 measure. The Jews will be moved on further to the occupied Eastern
 Territories as soon as the technical conditions for it are given.


 And the list is long. A 'coding terminology'? You mean that Goebbels used
 a 'coding terminology' in his own diary the 7 march while he considered,
 6 weeks after Wansee that the last step of the final solution could be
 an ultimate deportation to Madagascar for the Jews deported earlier in
 eastern ghettos? That the 19 march he said that the fuhrer considered that
 Jews must leaves Europe if necessary by brutal means? Why Luther would have
 use a coding terminology (eastern ghettos) to describe 'gassing operations'
 in a report that was not massivelly distributed, a report that was classified
 in a file? why did he add that Jews should be move further east later?
 Goebbel wasn't aware about a systematic extermination policy: he was aware
 about atrocities at a specific moment, but day by day according to his mood
 he could say that his wish was to exterminate the Jews while another day
 he could see them as still there at the end of the war. Because there was no
 extermination policy that was clearly decided: the only clear decision was
 to deport Jews in the east. The atrocities were due to the lattitude left
 to the local SS commandant. Goebbels hadn't in the mind a definitive project
 for the Jews kind off: we will kill all of them. If this had been the case,
 there wouldn't be so much survivors. Can you explain, if really you believe
 that things are so simple, why Goebbel stated those things the 7 march? Can
 you explain the way Luther explained the solution to the jewish problem?
 Of course not, you won't.


  The brutal treatment of the Jews looks to me like the brutal treatment of the
  muslin hinduish who were expelled from this country while several were killed
  on the way or like the atrocities commited by the zionist for Ramleh, Lydda
  Deir Yassine and several other places where the palestinian were partly killed
  while others were expelled following the lebensraum policy.
  Just the numbers differs. First, because the war was shorter in that case,
  second, because the israelis didn't suffer millions of casualties that could
  have push them further in the escalation of atrocities.
