Including letters written between Nazis during the war?

You know, the one's describing the gassing? How about 
the ones written by Hans Frank, who complained that the order 
(and the execution of that order) to exterminate the Jews had
so seriously hampered his slave labor program?  

I'll post an example if requested.

wow. Those Nazis must have been _telepathic_ to have copied
the stories of people they'd never even met.

I guess they were the "master race" after all.  (not)

Thank you, Ross.  That's my chuckle for the week.

What, pray tell, was Herr Zundel's career before it was "destroyed"?  If I 
recall, he wrote and promoted a book claiming UFOs were secret Nazi weapons 
and that Hitler was alive and well and living inside a hole in the Earth at 
the South Pole (a hole from which all flying saucers emanate)... 

Alas... such a promising career, cut so tragically short.

As Keith Morisson notes, The 1929 Geneva agreement is an amplification of 
the 1907 Hague one.  Just for the record, here's the relevant article 
from the Geneva agreement:

From the 1929 Geneva Accords:

SECTION II. RELEASE AND REPATRIATION UPON CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES

                       ARTICLE LXXV

When belligerents conclude a convention of armistice, they must, in 
principle, have appear therein stipulations regarding repatriation of 
prisoners of war.  If it has has not been possible to insert stipulations 
in this regard in such convention, belligerents shall nevertheless come to
an agreement in this regard as soon as possible.  In any case,
repatriation of prisoners shall be effected with the least possible delay
after the conclusion of peace.

Prisoners of war against whom a penal prosecution might be pending for a 
crime or offense of municipal law may, however, be detained until the end 
of the proceedings and, if necessary, until the expiration of the 
punishment.  The same shall be true of those sentenced for a crime or 
offense of municipal law.

On agreement between the belligerents, commissions may be established for 
the purpose of searching for dispersed prisoners and assuring their 
repatriation.

I thought we were talking about German prisoners in occupied Germany.  
Doesn't that meet your definition of "repatriated"?  Where did you think 
they should have been repatriated to?

German soldiers were kept prisoner for months, and in some cases for 
years, after the war - not just in Germany but in France, Britain, Austria, 
etc.  (None, apparently, in the U.S.)  

Thousands of the ones that were "repatriated" to the Rhine valley camps, 
wound up being turned over to the French for further processing.

I wouldn't say that, but it is possible that many do believe the gas
chambers to be as real as anything else, even though they themselves never
saw them.

My point is that if you can convince others that you or some group with
which you are affiliated are the "ultimate victims," then you can gain a
great deal of power.

Leaving aside the issue of what this question has to do with revisionist
history of the Holocaust, there might be a simpler answer than those
posted so far.  What would you rather the Allies had done?  Opened the
gates and let tens of thousands of prisoners roam on the countryside with
no means of feeding themselves or of returning to their homes?  Then what
question would you now be asking--how could the heartless Allies have
placed such an extra burden on a country already devastated by six years
of war?

It took more than a few months to demobilize the Allied armies.  Is it 
any surprise that it took some time to demobilize the German army?

It surprises me how often on a.r the sufferings of the German people are
blamed on anybody except the vicious regime which plunged them into war.

    You are evading the question (as well as misusing the idiom "assuming
facts not in evidence").  I will reprase the question.  For the words "If
you assert the Holocaust did not happen," please substitute, "If you
assert that homicidal gassings did not happen."  (I trust you will agree
that you have asserted *that*!) The remainder of the question stays as is. 
Now please stop evading the question and answer it. How did so many
witnesses come to tell such consistent stories if the stories were 
false?  There were too many witnesses for this to have happened by chance 
alone.  Therefore there would have to have been a deliberate effort to 
communicate a false story and suborn people to tell it in place of their 
honest personal memories.  Please provide your evidence for this.

    To the best of my knowledge this is false.  Lipstadt and Browning have
discarded Hoess as reliable evidence of the number of people killed at
Auschwitz.  They have not discarded Hoess as reliable evidence of the fact
that there were homicidal gassings.  If you have a source which says

    This is not true.  It may contain an error.  A lie is a *deliberate*
statement contrary to fact.  An error is an *unintentional* statement
contrary to fact.  Suppose, for example, I say that I ate turkey with my
parents on the afternoon of Nov. 23rd.  However, it is patently clear that
I was nowhere near my parents at that time, but hard at work in my office. 
The obvious explanation for this conflict with physical reality is that I
was confused about the day of month on which Thanksgiving fell - I did eat
turkey with my parents, but on the 24th.  My misstatement is not a lie,
but an error.

    False.  Even Fred Leuchter found cyanide traces.  That is physical
evidence consistent with a claim of homicidal gassing.

Oh, he's got a black man working for him, he can't be a bigot.

Heh.  That pretty much says it all.  Just because he hasn't
publicly said anything bigoted recently doesn't mean he's changed;
it just means he's become more private.  Hell, the National Review
article from 1973 described him as the shadowy figure who controls
his organizations from behind the scenes.

Still, you wouldn't have to go back more than 20 years for the
nasty quotes.

Hey, I know.  David Duke has had at least one black person working

Duke said anything overtly racist.  Do you think David Duke is a

If you're not dishonest, Ross, then defend your views about Himmler's

FORGERIES ALL FORGERIES!

In fact WORLD WAR II NEVER HAPPENED ROSS!

Yeah, it was all a FORGERY!

Amazing! You can come out of your bunker now.

What's really laughable is to watch these deniers struggle to find
some sort of ambiguity or error in some document that just nails them
and then to just try to blow it all away with FORGERIES ALL FORGERIES!

Worse, Greg "Hitler Admirer" Raven makes blanket statements that no
document of the Holocaust, gassing, exists.

When asked what in the world he can possibly mean, here are a dozen!,
he responds: FORGERIES ALL FORGERIES!

Talk about electronic village idiots...

Unless I have a good idea where Irving got that number from,

: What's "Distributism?"

Well, if Mr. Monaghan doesn't mind, I'll take a stab at answering that.

(professorial voice on)

Distributism is the political theory/movement initiated by Hilaire Belloc
and G.K. Chesterton, which gained a following during the 1920's and 
1930's. It is historically related to Guild Socialism and Social Credit,
all of which developed out of debates occurring in _The New Age_ in the 
early 1900's in England. Southern Agrarianism also bears some resemblence 
to Distributism (don't ask me what Guild Socialism, Social Credit, and 
Southern Agrarianism are; life is too short as it is).

Essentially, Distributism states that the basis of a stable and well 
ordered society is the proper distribution of property. Since property is 
the basis for all other rights (which are meaningless if one is too poor 
and dependant to excerise them), it follows that an orderly and democratic 
society must do two things: 1) prevent the excessive concentration of too 
much property into too few hands, and 2) prevent the creation of large 
groups of propertyless citizens.

What distinguishes Distributism from Socialism and modern Liberalism is 
that Distributism rejects the notion of a centralized state power which 
will redistribute wealth in the name of "equality", because the result of 
such a policy is not the balanced distribution of wealth, but rather the 
creation of an all-powerful property owner - the state - upon which the 
propertyless masses will necessarilty be dependent on. The result of such 
a state - our "welfare state" - would thus be the creation of an ever 
larger servile class. Belloc forsaw this very early in his book, _The 
Servile State_ (1912).

Distributism was very accurate in its analysis of this problem, but a 
bit more vague in its proposed solutions. Since state redistribution was 
not the answer, other solutions were proposed. Since small property 
ownership was to be encouraged, ways needed to be found to encourage 
small shopkeepers and farmers, and to discourage giant chain stores, 
department stores, "factory farms", etc. The man who was his own master 
at work was more likely to possess the skills needed to make democracy 
and civilization work; whereas the wage slave would tend towards the 
creation of the conditions needed for the "servile state" (socialism, 
welfare state, etc). Various proposals were made: differential taxation, 
for example, could encourage small shops and discourage the giant 
department stores. Land laws could be taylored to protect those who 
worked on, and lived off, their own land, and to discourage speculators. 
The idea was to encourage people to find ways to earn their own living 
and own their own property, and to discourage large concentrations of 
wealth and power. That is, help people to help themselves and not simply 
"redistribute" the wealth.

I should also add that Distributism was bound up with Chesterbelloc's 
Catholicism, though of course many Distributists were not Catholic. 
Belloc had some rather cranky historical theories blaming all the bad 
things about modern Europe on the Protestants, whilst claiming that the 
Catholic Church was the true promoter of his Distributist ideal, but this 
is a sectarian sideshow; the meat of Distributism is as I have described 
it above. More recently, Distributism has been taken up by some white 
nationalists (mostly in Europe; American nationalists are, as a rule, not 
as interested in intellecual issues), including that current known 
variously as "Third Way" or "Third Position".

(professorial voice off)

I hope this brief (and very incomplete) description of Distributism has 
been of help. The poster did not ask about the European New Right (a very 
different animal), but if anyone is curious I would recommend the only 
book in English (so far) on the subject: "Against Democracy and Equality: 
The European New Right" (Lang, 1990) by Tomislav Sunic (the title is a 
little misleading, since the ENR is not against Democracy and Equality so 
much as it it against what currently goes by those names, but be that as 
it may - better half and loaf than none, etc). Also, check out the latest 
issue of _Telos_, a special double issue on the European New Right. If you 
want more detailed info on these and other subjects, scoot over to 
alt.revolution.counter and ask Mr. Kalb to post the a.r.c resource list, 
a treasure trove of various right-wing and "counter-revolutionary" books, 
magazines, and organizations: Distributist, ENR, Conservative, Populist,
Nationalist/Separatist, Protestant, Catholic, Monarchist, Integrist, etc.
The only thing missing is a right-wing pagan/occultist/etc list, and 
perhaps a right-wing musical/literary/artistic list.

But this is stupid, since Himmler goes on to say that the Jewish
women and children have also to be killed, and that the "hard
decision had to be taken, to make this people disappear from the
earth". 

I understand senility is taking its toll, but can Vicksell

Himmler was talking about extermination, which is also the meaning
of the word in German?

So let me get this straight.

This Mark Lane guy has some inside information that William F. Buckley
is a closet racist.  This is something that no one else knows.  His
intellectual opponents and friends have, throughout the years, been
unable to uncover one trace of this.

In fact, Buckley has stood in firm opposition to racism on many
occasions.  And I'm not saying this because I'm a follower of his --
I'm a confirmed liberal.  Buckley's stand against racism is strong
and laudable.  Heck, when Pat Buchanan made some questionable
statements about Jews and Israel during Desert Shield, Buckley was
one of the first to chastise him.

Yet this Mark Lane guy, alone among the billions of people in the
world, somehow knows that Buckley is a white supremacist.

And he also knows that Willis Carto, despite years of racism and
anti-Semitic pamphleteering, despite founding and running
organization after organization to publish anti-Jewish, anti-black
material, is _not_ a white supremacist.

Gotcha.

I'm about to post, again, a list of citations from German dictionaries.
Most of them say explicitly that ausrotten means extermination when
applied to people and animals.  Some say specifically that "uprooting"
is a translation to be reserved for the cases in which the subjects are
roots and plants _only_.

None of the translations say that "uprooting" is an acceptable
translation when speaking about people.

Comment, Ross?

Or are you simply going to utter that one single word, "uprooting," and
then refuse to go on?

Non sequitur.

You belong to an organization that encourages "open debate on the
Holocaust" in its title.  Presumably you'd want to openly debate the
Holocaust.  Not too much of a logical leap.

Now, if the organization were named "Committee for Open Debate on
Trivial Details Only Barely Having Anything to do with the Holocaust,"
or "Committee for Gratuitous Israel-Bashing," then I'd say you would
be a fine, upstanding, honest member.

But it's not.

You compare that to the murder and havoc the Nazis laid bare when they
had their day in the sun?

Vilification by the media...ooooh, tough life.

Careers of deniers are often "destroyed" not by some malicious act but
simply because they convince others that they're a bit nuts and
probably destructive and hateful and not entirely in touch with
reality.

It really depends on the "career". I doubt any denier's career
flipping burgers was destroyed. But those whose careers rested upon
peer review and credibility often get the big raspberry.

But that's more like saying getting an "F" in math destroyed ones'
career in mathematics. Sometimes it's just deserved.

Most denier history is pure crap, much of it is fabricated or twisted
out of context. And it doesn't take a deep reading of someone like
Greg Raven to conclude that it's willfully done, a hypothesis driving
method and investigation which is exactly what you are never supposed
to do (you're free to do it, but don't expect a "career" from others
for pushing out that sort of tripe.)

It's hucksterism. People don't like to give salaries to hucksters. And
they tend to give them a hard time, even when unfair. I'm not
justifying it, but hey, kitchens and heat and all that.

But this ain't nuttin' compared to how the Nazis dealt with "justice".
They just saw the entire concept as a bar to expedience and trampled
over anyone they felt like, usually with deadly consequences.

I'm as close to a free speech absolutist as you'll likely meet on the
outside. But I also understand that speech is powerful and can have
consequences. Again, even if those consequences aren't fair it is a
fool who acts on contrary beliefs.

And as I've told you before, as a "free speech" issue this holocaust
denial thing has to be one of the stupidest to arise. You may as well
just go down to your favorite ethnic neighborhood and shout
appropriate racist epithets and then complain that they denied your
"free speech" rights. Well, perhaps in the abstract, but you really
proved nothing other than that "fighting words" do exist.

Hey, Vicksell, your worst complaint is that your denier buddies are
getting their day in court. Is that what you mean by "every
conceivable way" down below?

That's a lot better than your Nazi heros ever offered those they
disagreed with. "Every conceivable way" my foot! Maybe a couple of
years in a concentration camp (if you could last that long, few did),
without any hope of trial, would broaden your conceptions!

Even your denier's neo-nazi fans haven't the slightest interest in
courts and the law. They prefer to burn people they disagree with, and
their children, while they are asleep in their beds.

Isn't it amusing and pathetic how often these deniers seem to claim
that process of law (eg, the Mermelstein trial, Leuchter, Demanjuk) is
comparable somehow to the violent, murderous thugs they love to
defend?!

Talk about confused. Do they have any conception of what went on,
forgetting the holocaust specifics for the moment, in Nazi Germany?
Can they possibly be that dense about what a smug totalitarian state
means?

I'd take my chances with democratically based courtrooms, even when I
feel they're being unfair, over lawless nazi criminals any day! At
least one might live long enough to be vindicated. Better than being
declared "an excess mouth to feed" in the basement of some gestapo
office and disposed of forthwith! Or, in more modern practice, the
neo-nazi's favorite: "Fair" trial by anonymous letter bomb.

It's astounding how these guys can defend some of the worst violators
of anything resembling justice in the history of the world as a means
to demand justice! Howsabout some Nazi "justice" for you and your
buddies, would that make you happier? I'd bet not. You yourself would
be declared an excess mouth in a split-second, and you know it (or
ought to)!

Nothing new here. This information appears in Pressac's book, and
is well-known. 

If David Cole had enough brains to graduate from highschool, a feat
which he failed to accomplish, maybe he'd understand this.

(Boy, someone must be really smart, to drop out from a highschool
in the US of A. What a bright little "revisionist scholar" David
Cole is!).

Of course, the fact that there are still cyanide traces on the walls
of the gas chamber - as even the Holocaust deniers admit - proves
that cyanide gas was indeed used in this chamber during WW2. This
is the very same chamber in which people were gassed. Since Zyklon
was used in it, it's obvious that there existed means of inserting
the Zyklon into the chamber. This is what counts.

If you feel this is so important, why don't you ask Hans Stark? He 
was relatively young when stationed in Auschwitz, and may still be alive.

From the statement of Hans Stark, registrar of new arrivals, Auschwitz:
[Quoted in "'The Good Old Days'" - E. Klee, W. Dressen, V. Riess, The 
Free Press, NY, 1988, p. 255].
--------------------------------------------------------------
At another, later gassing -- also in autumn 1941 -- Grabner ordered
me to pour Zyklon B into the opening because only one medical orderly
had shown up. During a gassing Zyklon B had to be poured through both
openings of the gas-chamber room at the same time. This gassing was
also a transport of 200-250 Jews, once again men, women and children.
As the Zyklon B -- as already mentioned -- was in granular form, it
trickled down over the people as it was being poured in. They then
started to cry out terribly for they now knew what was happening to
them. I did not look through the opening because it had to be closed
as soon as the Zyklon B had been poured in. After a few minutes there
was silence. After some time had passed, it may have been ten to
fifteen minutes, the gas chamber was opened. The dead lay
higgledy-piggedly all over the place. It was a dreadful sight.



Or Perry Broad?

Testimony of SS-Unterscharfuehrer Perry Broad, describing gassing in
Krema I in Auschwitz
[Quoted in "KL Auschwitz as Seen by the SS", p. 176]
-------------------------------------------------------------
 ... The "disinfectors" were at work. One of them was SS-Unterscharfuehrer
Teuer, decorated with the Cross of War Merit. With a chisel and a
hammer they opened a few innocuously looking tins which bore the
inscription "Cyclon, to be used against vermin. Attention, poison!
to be opened by trained personnel only!". The tins were filled to
the brim with blue granules the size of peas. Immediately after
opening the tins, their contents was thrown into the holes which
were then quickly covered. Meanwhile Grabner gave a sign to the driver
of a lorry, which had stopped close to the crematorium. The driver
started the motor and its deafening noise was louder than the
death cries of the hundreds of people inside, being gassed to death.
 


So, why don't you ask them?

So when Gerhardt Lauke  says, during a CBS special (Hitler and

would exterminate non-whites, you feel he should be treated with
deference and respect?

One day ago, Mr. Vicksell repeated:

Hold your horses, Ross.  There are only so many hours in the day.

I point out that I'm bringing up these detailed ad hominem attacks only
because I was asked to.  I'm always eager to discuss issues, but
sometimes it helps to know what ideology your opponents have.

And it's clear that Carto is quite a bigot.  Mark Weber, who is an
admitted white supremacist, said of Carto's split with the IHR, "Our
main problem was editorial direction.  [Carto] wanted to make
substantive changes in the direction of the review. He wanted to become
more 'racialist,' to make it more clearly white racist."  In a letter,
Weber wrote that "The focus of [Carto's] new journal would be race and
multiculturalism.  In one written memo, Carto called for an article to
appear 'proving' the partial African ancestry of President (Dwight)
Eisenhower."

That and all the following information comes from Ken's archives.
Instructions for retrieving it are at the end of this article.

Carto always had his eye on Jewry. From a letter to one Norris Holt:

   There are 600 million Chinese and about 200 million Russians.
   All united in a determinmation to destroy the West.  And we have
   been so misled that we live in a dream world - far away from
   reality.  Hitler's defeat was the defeat of Europe.  And
   America.  How could we have been so blind?  The blame, it seems,
   must be laid at the door of the international Jews.  It was
   their propaganda, lies and demands which blinded the West to
   what Germany was doing.

Carto put it all more succinctly in a memo to himself:

   Who is using who?  Who is calling the shots?  History supplies
   the answer to this.  History tells us plainly who our Enemy is.
   our Enemy today is the same Enemy of 50 years ago and before -
   and that was before Communism.  The Communists are 'using' the
   Jews we are told.  ...who was 'using' the Jews fifty years ago -
   one hundred or one thousand years ago.  History supplies the
   answer.  The Jews came first and remain.  Public Enemy No.  1.

And:

   In fact, no objective Scholar can deny today that the world would be
   a far better place to live if Germany had won - even if it had
   meant the defeat of American arms! Let us first understand who won
   and who lost the last war.  The victors were Soviet Russia,
   international Communism, Red China, Israel, international Zionism,
   the international money manipulators (Wall Street-CFR crowd) and
   rising colored nationalisms the world over. Let us now name the
   losers:  All of the European nations, most certainly including
   Britain and her now non-existent Empire, the United States, White
   world-hegemony and the idea of the war-preventing, world-saving
   philosophy of nationalism and non-interference in the affairs of
   others.
   
   (Hitler and Chamberlain, incidentally, and contrary to the massive
   lies told about "Munich," worked out a sensible and workable
   agreement at Munich to save Europe from a war.  In return for a
   free hand in the east, Hitler guaranteed Chamberlain that Germany
   would not contest Britain's dominance on the seas, or covet any of
   her colonies.  The deal was broken by the war-madness stirred up by
   the British press in obedience to the financial power after Hitler
   marched on Poland - and also by pressure from Roosevelt.)
   
   Israel and Zionism would be unknown - still a crazy dream in the
   minds of a few fanatics - and the secret international power of the
   Zionist conspiracy would not be in existence nor the manifold
   culture distortions which flow from this disease source into all of
   the western nations.
   
   Juvenile delinquency would be uncommon because the youth of America
   would be filled with patriotism, the natural aftermath of defeat in
   war, and there would be something to aspire to.  Desegregation and
   the cultural negrification of America would be unknown.
   
   What would have been the effect of a German victory inside Germany?
    It is important to remember that Hitler's ambition stopped in
   Europe - he would have gone no further.  He would have stopped if
   for no other reason that he yearned to build Germany into an
   architectural paradise.  The result of German victory would have
   brought a true internationalism of Europe!  The United Europe only
   dreamed of today would have been a certain result of the war.
   
   The important thing to note is that a German victory would have
   assured that the life-span of the White world would have been
   extended for many centuries more than now seems likely; indeed, for
   the "thousand years" promised by Hitler.
                                        --- from American Mercury, Summer 1973

By the way, the author of this last article is "E. L. Anderson, Ph.D.",
which is an alias for Carto.

   'E.L.  Anderson, Ph.D.' declares: 'The Communist-devised
   system of `integration` in an army will ruin it.  Nationalists have
   known this for years, and most of them protested when Anna
   Rosenberg, the Communist Assistant Secretary of Defense, under
   Truman, forcibly integrated Negro and White units, during the
   Korean War.'

The elusive Willis Carto is the driving force behind many racist
organizations and publications. In the past, he wrote "The defeat
of Hitler was the defeat of America and Europe". In addition to
sponsoring the particularly repulsive form of antisemitism known
as "Holocaust revisionism", the publishing house he founded (Noontide
press) distributes the following:

"The Biology of the Race Problem"
"Our Nordic race"
"The Testing of Negro Intelligence"
"The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion"

And many other books, including two hailing Hitler and Goering as
"the great national socialist leader" and "an active champion of
western society in the fight against bolshevism".

   As Acord tells it, he and McMahon were
   invited to a party in Carto's honor, to be held after the NYA
   session at the Conley Motel in nearby Monroeville.  The party was
   thrown by something called the 'Francis Parker Yockey Movement.'
   The host was Louis T.  Byers, a leader of the Wallace campaign in
   Western Pennsylvania.  At a cocktail party attended by Carto and
   Col. Dall, guests allegedly wore Nazi insignia and the hi-fi
   blasted Nazi war songs.  After a buffet supper, a formal meeting
   was held.  It began, according to Acord, with the singing of the
   'Host Wessel Lied.'  Speeches on 'Plato the Fascist' and 'Negrified
   and Judaized America' followed.  Byers gave a rundown on recent
   books of interest, paying special attention to a forthcoming
   Noontide Press book, 'The Myth of the Six Million.'  Then Carto
   took the rostrum:

      Next to Jews, the most despised of all are the leaders of the
      legitimate Right like such as Bill Buckley Jr., John Ashbrook,
      Fulton Lewis III, ad infinitum [sic].  They, said Carto, are the
      real enemies of the Yockeyites.  They are the principal
      obstacles to be overcome.

   In an affidavit of his own, McMahon confirms the essence of Acord's
   story, and says that afdter the meeting the group adjourned in
   small groups to a room where Robert Johnson, operator of the Sabre
   and Sword Curio Shop in Buffalo, N.Y., had for sale swastika
   banners, recordings of German war songs, genuine and fake Nazi war
   relics, and even (for $150) an SS uniform.

   Clearly, the Acord-McMahon story of the events of January 25 is the
   work of men who feel considerable bitterness over their ouster from
   NYA.  But it is significant that the story falls into two parts,
   lurid stories of Nazi talk and Nazi trappings, and an account -
   calmer in comparison - of Carto's speech.  It is significant, too,
   that the speech as paraphrased by Acord is exactly in line with the
   power-oriented political philosophy that Carto has expounded,
   publicly, for years (cf.  his Introduction to _Imperium_).

Carto expressed his views on racial purity more frankly in private
correspondence.  In 1960 he wrote to Frank Hanigan, the founder of
'Human Events,' objecting to the paper's publication of articles by
Phillippa Schuyler, the journalist and concert pianist (and
daughter of George Schuyler, with Carto an occasional contributor
to 'American Opinion'), whom he described as 'the hybrid offspring
of George Schuyler and his White wife...[who] eschew the Supreme
Court as the 'solution' for segregation...  [and are] avid
crusaders and practitioners of a far speedier road towards racial
mongrelization - the road leading through the boudoir.'

The danger of 'racial mongrelization' was not a new preoccupation
for Carto.  All through the years with Liberty and Property, he
corresponded tirelessly with segregationist leaders.  In 1956, in a
letter to Judge Tom P.  Brady of the Mississippi Supreme Court, an
originator of the White Citizens' Council, Carto proclaimed (in
capitals): 'THE ISSUE IS NOT IDEOLOGICAL, THE ISSUE IS
ETHNOLOGICAL.'

'The revolutionists have seen to it,' Carto wrote the racist author
Earnest Sevier Cox in 1955, 'that only a few Americans are
concerned about the inevitable niggerfication of America.' But
Carto had a plan, for a 'flank attack.' He established, and
promoted secretly, the Joint Council for Repatriation - a
send-'em-back-to-Africa movement with an added benefit: '...  such
a movement would be the strongest blow against the power of
organized Jewry that can be imagined.'

   This American edition of 'Imperium' includes a 35-page Introduction
   by Carto, who has said a number of times that he stands by what he
   wrote there in 1962.
   
   Carto makes it clear that he goes along with Yockey, but not all the
   way.  He buys the Yockey line on the Jews, and peppers his
   Introduction with dark references to the 'aliens,' the 'inner
   enemy,' the 'Culture-Distorter.' He calls Yockey's European
   Liberation Front, whose 'Proclamation of london' urged the
   expulsion of jews and the establishement of national socialism 'a
   constructive movement.'
   
   But he parts company with Yockey on the question of race.  For
   Yockey, race is a matter of soul, not color, physical features or
   cephalic index.  For Carto, 'the genetic interpretation of race is
   a necessary, useful and valid one if we are to see all of our
   problems clearly and accurately.'

What is the point of this?

Are we supposed to think that, because the tourist guides have made
corrections to their canned talks about the gas chamber, that therefore
the Nazis never had a plan to kill Jews?

Please explain the link to me;  I don't get it.


You know, astronomers are all abuzz because many think that the
universe is not 17 billion years old as has been thought for some time,
but only about 12 billion.  Freshman astronomy courses have taught the
former figure for many years, but they're probably revising those
class curricula even as we speak.  And this is not a minor point,
either;  this may have serious repercussions to much of what is known
about astronomy and physics, over the next decade.

So should we conclude from this discrepancy that therefore the universe
was never created at all, and that the whole thing is a hoax?

Bah.

No, Ross.  You received E-Mail (from me) expressing sorrow at your

about the way you characterized Felderer's work as "commissioned" by
the Watchtower Society.

Who is Barbara Kulaszka?  Where did you get this summary?

Now Ross continues with fourth-hand info.  Vicksell says that Kulaszka
says that a transcript records that Felderer said:

Before I comment, I'd like to see specific references to the
Watchtower publications that made each of those claims.

In any case, if (and I repeat, *if*) the Watchtower Society guessed

might be interesting to Witnesses, but it is of zero relevance to the
Nazi Holocaust against the Jews.

(1)  Irving has deliberately lied to make his points, and I can prove it.
Therefore, I no longer believe anything he says until and unless I see it
backed up.

(2)  60 kg of coke to burn a corpse that probably weighs less than that?
Possible, but I doubt it.

(3)  How does Irving know he has the complete list of coke shipped to the
camp?  For every shipment that he doesn't have listed, his estimate is
that far off.

(4)  It's well-documented that the Nazis studied how best to burn bodies;
they found that body fat serves as fuel, and made the best use possible
of that body fat.

(5)  Burning was often done in open pits when the crematoria were not
sufficient.

(6)  Yes, it's entirely possible that they cooked the books.

All in all, this argument is far from convincing.

The 1% number for Jews in Germany in 1933 is found in Lucy Dawidowicz'
book.   Dawidowicz states that that number had dropped to about .3% 
for pre-1937 Germany by the beginning of the war.  Are these numbers
controversial?

More generally, the idea that the Germans were "victims" of Nazism seems
to have been very popular amoung post-war Germans.  Most contemporary
observers and serious historians I have read suggest the average German
rather liked pre-war Nazism.

Felderer is the same nut whose piece about the "anal complex
of the Jews" was quoted here. Prof. Lipstadt, in her book,
mentions a few other examples of utterly revolting racist
propaganda items written by Felderer, who truly follows
in the footsteps of the most vulgar Nazi propagandist, 
Julius Streicher.

Feldrer's "forensic examination" is the same type of garbage
as the "Leuchter report". Let Vicksell post something about
it, so we can have a good laugh.

Wrong.  The Witnessess _were_ imprisoned for their religion -- or do
you assert that the Witness *women* were put in camps because they
refused to bear arms?

There is some connection, of course.  If Witness men didn't refuse to
bear arms, the Witnesses as a group might have escaped Hitler's
personal attention (though their refusal to "Heil Hitler" might well
have gotten them into trouble as well).  And as far as I can tell,
most Witnesses who were officially executed (as opposed to being
simply murdered by thugs in uniform) were young men charged with
refusal to bear arms.  But the persecution of all Witnesses, and
particularly the arrests of women and the elderly (with the attendant
kidnaping of effectively orphaned children), was completely
unjustified.

>The same thing happened in the US, except they called the camps
>"CO camps" instead of "concentration camps."  

I have personal aquaintance with several people who were interned in
the US during WWII for refusal to bear arms.  They were all young men
at the time; they all went to minimum-security facilities; and none of
them was ever threatened with bodily harm, let alone murder, by
government officials or operatives.  That's not "the same thing" at ALL.

Hm.  I've heard of that book, but I don't remember who wrote it.  And
do you know who published it, in what year?

I'd find that transcript of interest.  On the other hand, even though
sworn testimony deserves more weight than other speech, I am not
prepared to believe anything he might have said just because he said
it.  After all, people have been known to lie under oath from time to
time.  :-(  That's why I want the references I mention below.

I'm willing.  In fact I almost offered.  But the CD-ROM I have of
Society publications only goes back to the Watchtower of 1950 and the
Yearbook of 1980; thus I cannot be sure that I haven't missed some
reference to the number of deaths.  The published (paper) index goes
back to 1930, but it's no substitute for a full-text search, and I
have no immediate access to many of the publications it references.

On the other hand, if you find the transcript, it's possible that
Felderer himself made reference to specific publications; it would
have lent weight to his testimony.

On the gripping hand, perhaps the 60,000 number was made in private
correspondence or in other circumstances that would make it impossible
for anyone to find -- or verify.

So your point is that estimates of the number of people brutally and
undeservedly murdered by Nazis can be incorrect?  That's not news,
Ross.  In fact, everyone believes it.  It's not a point of contention.

But you also believe that there was no program of mass extermination
of Jews -- and here you must agree that the Witness experience is
irrelevant, because no one has ever asserted that there was a program
of mass extermination of Witnesses.  We were small fry.

Gee, Vicksell, thanks for that candid and honest admission of your status

That's one point of view, and a self-serving one. Other differ with you in

Some folks' fathers _were_ "genocidal fiends", Vicksell. Are you
interested in truth, or in making all Germans feel warm and fuzzy about
what their parents did while serving Nazi Germany?

This sounds like you want to engage in debate, Vicksell. You've already
said here that the job of CODOH is to _encourage_ the debate, but not
necessarily _engage_ in it. Will you now engage in actual debate, or will
you run and hide (again) behind your weasel words about "encouraging" it
when confronted?

What makes you think they didn't. Editing of tapes etc, is an amazing way 
fo putting other words in peoples mouths..

Dr Piper's letter was very obvious in that point. Guess you were not 
interested enough to read it when posted here. Figures, according to what 
you say above.  

He, Dr Piper,  said he was horribly misquoted by a lying 
'interviewer' who used devious means to obtain said interview.

Um, I think there may be a misunderstanding here.

Piper's remarks are obviously edited in the sense that they cut to
and from the comments that they want to hilight.  That's perfectly
normal.

I'm not sure why they'd call Piper's footage edited and e.g. Alicia's
not edited, given that they do the exact same thing with her.  In
fact it's more egregious with her -- at one point Cole asks her a
question, and she starts to say, "no, ..."  The audio gets cut out
right after her first word, when it's obvious she was going on to
say something else.

But that's neither here nor there.  My point is, the whole tape is
edited -- editing is how you put a tape together from raw footage.
When he says they "edited" Piper, he doesn't mean they dubbed words
into his mouth.

I read that Felderer is a Jehova witness. But this is not crucial.

The value of Felderer's "investigations" is indeed zero, just like
the value of the "Leuchter report" etc is zero. If Vicksell
believes otherwise, he can try and prove it here.

It is correct that there are two distinct matters here. First,
Felderer's "research" is garbage, just like all other "Holocaust
revisionist" research. Second, Felderer is an utterly disgusting
racist, a true follower of Julius Streicher. While these two
observations are not identical, they are highly correlated.

Let me ask you something.  

Let's assume I'd written a piece (say a column) about the 
'anal complex of the Irish' and discussed how the Irish are
often fascinated with excretions.  

I don't cite any evidence for this claim.

Would I then be a good person to discuss/write about historical 
events involving the Irish?  

No, of course not.

Would it make any difference if I was Irish myself?

No, it wouldn't.  Just because I might be really odd doesn't
mean that all Irish are.  Furthermore, my bias against the
Irish would still ring out loud and clear.

Had I done such a thing, I would be just about the _last_
person in a good position to examine anything involving 
Irish history.

This is precisely the hole Felderer dug for himself.

David Cole has passed on a couple of tidbits about the Auschwitz State
Museum and the latest party line.  I offer them for your amusement and
edification. 

The museum has officially changed its tour guide spiel so now tourists 
are told IMMEDIATELY that Krema I IS NOT in its original state, that it 
was changed after liberation, and that the holes in the ceiling were put 
in AFTER liberation. Those of you who saw David's video will recall the 
tour guide telling David that Krema I WAS in its original state. I 
forget, what were you saying - that she never said any such thing but 
that David cleverly dubbed in someone saying that with a Polish accent?  
Or maybe that scene was just shot on a back lot in Hollywood.

It gets better.  Jean Claude Pressac is in conflict with the museum over
the post-liberation remodeling job.  He says there were THREE "Zyklon B
induction holes" in the roof, and they ran in a straight line.  The Museum
says there were FOUR holes, in rows of two (as is presently in the roof of
Krema I). 

Who's right?  Let's hear YOUR opinions.  Make your vote count.

Obviously we need more documention to help us find out why the Jehovah's
Witnesses were incarcerated by the Germans and what happened to them in
the camps.  As I said, I'll try to chase down the transcript of Felderer's
testimony, but what would be more valuable would be the report Felderer
submitted to the Witnesses. 

The most obvious source for a copy of this report would be Felderer, but
it might be easier to get it from the Witnesses themselves, who presumably
have a copy filed away somewhere.  Maybe Chip could look into this. 

And once again, I can see no reason why alt.revisionism is not an 
appropriate forum for discussing the fate of non-Jews imprisoned in the 
camps.

Ross, neither Ken nor anyone else does much "fighting" against you;  you
simply say very little of any substance.  Nothing much to fight against.

The people that we _do_ "fight," like Friedrich Berg, Dan Gannon,
Greg Raven and Jack Wikoff, _are_ admitted neo-Nazis, racists, or

    Ross will be hard pressed to defend his 99% figure as he has to account
    for: Catholics, trade unionists, Communists, other leftists, physically
    and mentally handicapped, Bauhaus artisans, homosexuals, gypsies, SA
    members, and intellectuals, as well as Jews.

    The one thing all these people had in common, as Brian says, is that

I just received  an email message expressing doubts about Ditlieb Felderer's
conclusions on how the Jehovah's Witnesses fared in the camps.  Here's a 
little more on the subject.

It is important to note that when Felderer undertook his investigation he 
was a practicing Jehovah's Witness; he had not yet dabbled in Holocaust 
Revisionism.  After he had submitted his findings to the JW officials he 
was kicked out of the organization.   He went on to become an 
indefatigable revisionist researcher, specializing in photographic and 
forensic examination of Auschwitz.

What follows is an except from Barbara Kulaszka's summary of Felderer's
testimony at the second Zuendel Trial.  If you're interested in the
full testimony, it might be available in some law library.  The stuff
in square brackets is by me.

Felderer's interest in the subject [the Holocaust] had been aroused during
his years as a researcher for the Witnesses' governing body in the history
of the Jehovah's Witnesses during World War II.  Members of the sect were
incarcerated in virtually every camp in Nazi Germany during the war and
also in such countries as Canada because they refused to bear arms.
(18-4225 to 4229) In the beginning, the Jehovah's Witnesses claimed that
60,000 [remind you of something?] of their members were killed in the Nazi
concentration camps.  Felderer's research on the question, which took him
to the headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses in New York, as well as to
archives in Toronto, Switzerland, and Scandinavian countries, convinced
him that the actual number was far lower, and that only about 200 [!]
Jehovah's Witnesses were killed.  Felderer's research put Felderer on a
collision course with the sect; the leadership in New York warned members
that they were not allowed to speak to him.  In a subsequent Yearbook
published by the Jehovah's Witnesses, however, they conceded that only 203
people were killed during the war. [There were obviously others who died
in the camps of natural causes.] Felderer has told Zuendel about this
research (18-4226 to 4229; 4645)

   I find it a big deal when someone has gone to all the trouble of
 finding my address, going to my house and threatening me, all
 because I used a democratic right to petition for a cause which I
 believe in.
   Other people who been more outspoken on such issues have suffered
 verbal abuse, petrol bombs through letter boxes, harrassment via
 telephone and bricks through windows. 
   Incidentally, I live in the UK not Sweden so I can't comment
 on the case in question. Perhaps you should go and talk to the
 young Asian and black school children in Sweden who have been
 beaten by teenage neo-nazi gangs there.

    Possibly.  I'd prefer that it wasn't against the law.  Why do you think

    Then we should do something about this situation.  We should [1]
    educate them that the holocaust happens to be fact.  We should show
    them sufficient evidence to demonstrate that it is fact.  We should
    calmly answer any questions they raise about the facts.  We should
    [2] make it very clear that most people do not blame all Germans  (or
    German/Americans) for the holocaust, rather people recognize that
    Germans were victims of the Nazi regime.  And we should [3] work along
    side these people to convince those few who do blame all Germans that
    they are wrong to do so.

I believe it was Jamie McCarthy who answered this, quoting former
prisoners. There were a few categories of prisoners in Auschwitz.
Some of the trustees, and, mostly, "Aryan" prisoners, were
treated not so bad. They also had a brothel. Big deal. 

Why does Vicksell believe there was a brothel, and doesn't
believe that mass murder took place? There are far more
testimonies about the mass murder in Auschwitz than about the
brothel. There is documentary evidence proving it. 

The answer is simple - Vicksell believes what he wants to
believe, that is, he first decided what happened in Auschwitz
and now he rejects or accepts the evidence accordingly.

## It is correct that there are two distinct matters here. First,

Wow! And this, I guess, really proves he doesn't hate Jews! I mean,
his disgusting "analysis" of the "Jewish anal complex", and the
utterly revolting racist crap he published (see Prof. Lipstadt's
book) don't count; what counts is that his wife is Filipino!

In my personal experience, no.  Not a bit.

You guys fool yourselves if you think you're speaking for silent
Germans.  The vast majority of Germans desperately want you to
please shut up and go away.

One thing that's always impressed me about Germany is that people
will take to the streets in large numbers to hold peaceful protests
against ideologies.  When 60,000 people, 80,000, or 100,000 will
walk through Muenchen or Bonn holding candles to protest right-wing
violence, that says a lot.

I see.  So whenever someone mentions that x number of people were killed
at one time and the number x contains the digit 6 we should therefore 
take the reported number of people killed with a grain of salt.

Gotcha.

That doesn't mean a thing.  There is no requirement that states a
victim must dislike the criminal before the commission of the crime.

An analogous example (gosh, I seem to have a lot of those lately)
would be the con artist, where in a large proportion of the cases
the victim probably liked the crook before s/he realized the shirt
had been stolen off his/her back.

Before '39 it is true that the vast majority of Germans were
probably at worst apathetic about their government's actions because
they did not directly harm them.  For the majority of the German
populace, the crime was the blatant disregard the Nazi leadership
had for the welfare of its citizens when it was evident they were
about to lose the war.

   If Pipers interview was edited, proves what I have said. As far as 
watchimg the tape to SEE if it was edited, ya gotta be kidding. Even 
though you use unsophisticated equipment, it still is easy to hide marks.

Strange, but YOU ADMIT you edited Pipers remarks?? Astounding???

I was more specifically referring to statements made by German officials 
like Konrad Adenauer after the war.  The German people had more than 
adequate opportunity to claim the Holocaust was a hoax when the entire 
affair was fresh in their minds.

In addition, I was raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the home of one of 
the largest German-American communities in the US.  My dear old Grandma 
(a native of Mauthen, Austria) took my dad to German-American Bund  
meetings before the war.  I never at any time in my life ever heard of 
the concept of Holocaust denial until about 5 years ago when I joined 
Prodigy.  In fact, come to think of it, I never heard of anti-Semitism, 
either.  I had to look the word up in the dictionary when I first heard 
of it in the 1970's.  It wasn't part of my life.

The article below, which I have abbreviated, appeared in Ernst Zuendel's 
last newsletter.  It was written by a European revisionist.  Don't ask 
me why it took this long for this news to surface, I don't know why.

              Yet Another Revisionist in Jail

The Swede Ditlieb Felderer, 52, known for his revisionist activities and 
publications, was arrested in his Stockholm home October 12 and taken to 
a detention centre reserved for great criminals, where he occupies a 2 
meter by 2 meter cell.  The police smashed his apartment's door open.  It 
is continuing, even today, to search on the spot for material evidence of 
the intellectual crime D. Felderer is reproached with.  Writings were 
seized and confiscated.

The Swedish television merely announced: " A 52 year old man was arrested 
in Stockholm's northern suburbs and incarcerated for having been wanting 
in respect for the Jewish people in claiming that the number of six 
million Jewish deaths during the Second World War was inaccurate."
...
In Sweden the Jewish lobby has not yet managed to get an anti-revisionist 
law voted as in France and Austria.  Historical revisionism is called 
"lack of respect for the Jewish people" there, which makes it possible 
for it to fall under the effect of the law regarding "incitement against 
ethnic groups", a law which, originally, had nothing to do with 
historical research.  The motif of the long detention is a wish "to have 
the time to consult the Austrian and German authorities "more adapted to 
D. Felderer's case and to be able to consult Jewish "experts on 
'antisemitism' ".

Ross, NETCOM just posted your note here today, so my timing is a little 
off.

I know quite a few German-Americans...many of them in my own family and 
have never once heard a single German American person express doubts 
about the Holocaust.  Perhaps we run in different circles.

The closest I'v ever come was my high school best friend wh o moved to 
Milwaukee from Germany in her Sophmore years.  Her dad had a framed 
picture of himself in his SS uniform on the hall table.  She told me 
that she and her family were "afraid of the Jews" who wanted to get back 
at them for "what happened in the war."

I'm afraid y'all may have missed the points David was trying to make.

Firstly, the tour guides changed theit speil AFTER David had his little 
tete a tete with Piper. I know, coincidence.

Secondly they can't settle on how many induction holes were in the roof 
of Krema I; it's the three-holes versus the four-holers.

Let me venture an hypothesis as to way this is so.  Maybe there are TWO sets 
of blueprints for this particular "gas chamber" - one with three holes 
and one with four holes.  This was perhaps the result of having two teams 
of design engineers work on the problem of achieving the maximum 
throughput, your typical Teutonic obsession with efficiency. Who won out?
I'm sort of guessing it was the three-holers, because I've seen some air 
photos that look definitely three-holish.

Here's the piece by "leading revisionist" Felderer I mentioned
yesterday. This is the same person Vicksell is full of praise
for. Note how similar this is to the most vulgar type of Nazi
propaganda, spread by Julius Streicher for example.



# We feel that another forceful reason why the Anne Frank diary cannot be
# entirely dismissed as a fictitious story is its preoccupation with the
# anus and excrements, a trait typical of many Jews.  Pornography and
# excretal fantasies have always fascinated many of them and they have
# therefore also been the greatest exploiters of these things.  ... Jewish
# writings have been infused with stories about the reproductive and
# excremental functions.  ... Although we cannot dismiss the argument that
# these excremental preoccupations are mere fancies on the part of the
# author or authors there are good reasons to believe the stories are
# genuine and are in part reflecting some of the foremost intellectual
# thought of the occupants.  Even if they were invented they nevertheless
# splendidly depict the anal complex, of an ancient, cultural people.

Admittedly I've been involved with a rather biased sample of 
German-Americans.  And often the spouses of revisionist German-Americans 
wish their mates would drop the whole thing.  As I said above, they just 
want to lead normal lives.

How very odd.  Here in the Dakotas, where German is the second most common
first language (after English, of course), nothing could be farther from
the truth.  As a matter of fact, when the subject of the Holocaust _has_
come up among my German-Russian relatives, the tenor of the discussion has
been one of greatest sympathy for the experience of Jews in the Holocaust. 
Our distant cousins who stayed behind in Russia were persecuted by both
Czarist and Bolshevik regimes, and were mostly shoved into cattle cars in
1941 by Stalin's thugs and carted off to Siberia (it was _assumed_ that
they would betray Russia, doncha know), but at least most of them lived to
tell the tale.  Consequently, that so many European Jews did _not_ live to
tell _their_ tale is particularly poignant to us. 

This is not to paint too pretty a picture.  Like most eastern European 
cultures, Schwartzmeerdeutsch and Wolgadeutsch culture have their share 
of antisemitic tradition.  But perhaps our own ancestors' persecution in 
Russia has taught us something, or maybe we're far enough removed from 
the fatherland that we don't get all defensive when it's pointed out that 
some of our cultural cousins did some very evil things in this century.

In any event, suffice it to say that this "Von Steuben Society" doesn't
speak for all German-Americans--not by a long shot, and not in this part
of the country.  As a matter of fact, I had never heard of them before I
read Mr. Vicksell's post.  Maybe when my wife and I finally get down to
Lincoln, Nebraska to research our familys' histories at the AHSGR's
archive [American Historical Society for Germans from Russia, of which my
wife's mother was a proud member], I'll ask them if they'd heard of it. 

In the mean time, Mr. Vicksell, perhaps you can fill us in a little on
this Society and its mission.  As I am an American of partial German
descent, I'm sure you can understand my curiousity.  I'm also curious who
"Von Steuben" was.  Pardon my skepticism, but I just have a feeling that
this might be a group that is _specifically_ oriented towards Holocaust
denial, which cannot be said of most mainstream German cultural societies
in this country.  We might do well to remember that the German-American
Bund also sought to present themselves as a "nationwide German
social/cultural club" of sorts (admittedly, with predominant political
overtones), and they were, shall we say, less than objective on certain
matters.

Most emphatically not true.  Adenauer and the the rest of the German
officials were not merely non-Nazis, they were anti-Nazis.  And they were
pretty much a puppet government; they did what the occupation government
told them to do or else.  Witness what happened when Adenhauer complained
about Germany paying "reparations" to Israel and the "survivors."  He was
ordered to do it and it was done, to the tune of 100 billion Deutschmarks
over the years. And any German who dared to publicly express doubts about
the Holocaust story was also asking for big trouble from the occupation
government. 

If anything, despite the anti-revisionist laws on the books now, Germans 
are probably freer to express revisionists views now than they were 
then.

Or is it too much trouble to read the truth about little David playing

Of course you will laugh, all fools do when they are shown
 up to be the sickies they are.. 

Laugh your fool head of, pyoik!

You wouldn't know the truth if your own family showed you..

I believe that the big bruhaha about a brothel at Auschwitz 
was that you cited _testimony_  as evidence for such a place.

If you have other evidence for a brothel at Auschwitz besides
testimony, please present it.  Otherwise, let's move on since
Greg Raven has emphatically stated that testimony is not evidence.

Well, his writings about the 'anal complex of the Jews' are
antisemitic, plain and siple.  I don't care who he's married to.

Almost certainly you do run in circles that are different from those a
revisionist would find herself in. It sounds like you grew up in "normal"
German American
American enviornment. There is almost no convincing reasons for "normals" to
buy into revisionist theory, no matter what their ethnic background. It's
too dangerous socially, and for "germans" doubly so. I was 50 years old before
I ever heard there were people who doubted the Holocaust story, and when
I did hear it I took it for granted I was listening to either a neurotic
or an antisemite. In the event, while the individual turned out to be a
little neurotic, he wasn't antisemitic.
 
It's simply too costly for costly for indivudal citizens to questions any of
of the Holocaust stories, as you can observe by the tone of those who write on
this board. Ordinary people don't want to bother with having to bear up under
it.

Here is the text of a letter written by Dr. Piper to the Autrailian 
paper On Target.  It was in response to the claims published in On 
Target as well as JHR, Spotlight, Phoenix Liberator and other 
publications. It is presented as written, misspellings and all.  As far 
as I know this letter was never published by On Target.

"In connections with your 'Brief comment' published in your magazine in 
which my name has been mentioned I demand to publish the following 
statement:

"1. I never told to anybody the gas chamber, which now is shown in 
Auschwitz Museum in Poland had been 'reconstructed after the war.'

"2. The gas chamber in question is housed in the building which has been
existed from prewar times.

"3. Because another gas chamber in the second part of Auschwitz 
concentration camp / in Birkenau / were built in 1942, 1943 gas chamber 
mentioned above was adapted by the Nazis in 1944 to an air shelter. 
Between other the several walls were built inside in order to divide the 
large space in smaller rooms and the openings in the ceiling - the 
poison gas cyclon B was discharged in through them - were walled up. 
After the war in order to restore the previous
appearance these walls were removed and the openings uncovered.

"4. The fact is that the Nazi murdereres used gas chambers /in Birkenau-
Brzezinka you can see the ruins of the other 5 gas chambers/ for mass
annihilation of innocent men, women and children. It is obvious fact for
everybody who would like to approach the problem, to contact living 
still witnesses and to study historical sources.

"I have devoted 28 years of my life to save the memory of the countless
victims of the Nazi barbarity to warn people against indifference to all 
forms of racial, religious and national hatred, which lead to injustice, 
sufferings and killing of innocent people. Because of it I take the fact 
my name is used for disseminating such kind of lies and hiding of the 
obvious truth without any attempt to verify the facts as a lack of 
honesty and dignity.

I thought it would be nice to inject something relatively new into the
Other Losses discussion.  This is a letter by James Bacque, author of
Othe Losses.  It appeared in The Times Literary Supplement of August 20,
1993.

Sir,-It is every writer's delight to be attacked in a famous journal by a
confused critic, so my thanks go to John Keegan for airing his views on my
work in the TLS on July 23.

Mr Keegan has been misled by the editors of the book, "Eisenhower and the
German POWs: Facts against falsehood," which he cites to refute me.  The
principal editor, Stephen E.  Ambrose, clearly does not know what he
thinks from day to day, because he has varied wildly from strong approval
of my book, "Other Losses," to snarling slanders of me personally,
together with buffoonish misrepresentations of American army policies. 
Having kindly read my manuscript, he wrote to me as follows: "I am not
arguing with the basic truth of your discovery...you have the goods on
these guys, you have the quotes from those who were present and saw with
their own eyes, you have the broad outline of a truth so terrible I really
can't bear it...you really have made a major historical discovery..." It
appears from the latest Ambrose writings that, indeed, the truth was
something he could not bear.

The same might be said for his co-editor, Gunter Bischof, an Austrian. 
Keegan admires the "scholarship" of Bischof, but Bischof does not know a
displaced persons camp from a prison camp.  He chastises me for stating
that there was a US Army prison camp at Ebensee in Austria: he says that
the camp was for DPs.  In fact, I have photocopies of General Mark Clark's
secret report about the condition of prisoners of war in the camp, plus US
Army medical reports of prisoners in the camp, plus eyewitness accounts of
the catastrophe among dozens of thousands of prisoners, including the
manuscript of a diary kept by the priest Franz Loidl who ministered to the
dying.  This manuscript is on deposit in the Church History Institute of
the Catholic Theological Faculty, University of Vienna.

In the same book so admired by Keegan is a gross error made by Rudiger
Overmanns, who does not even know the number of prisoners taken by the
Americans.  This was not 3.8 million as he says, but over 6 million,
according to US Army records in Suitland, Maryland.  Of course, this
error, conveniently for Ambrose and Keegan, apparently diminishes the 
number of lives for which the Americans were responsible.

Underlying the Ambrose-Bischof book is a series on German prisoners edited
by Erich Maschke.  Underlying that series is no important documentation
from the US Army archives in Washington.  The author of the book on the
American camps casually omits all the significant records that survived
the paper purges of the late 1940s.  However, for an expert judgment on
the condition of American camps Mr Keegan may rely on the words of an
American Lieutenant-Colonel who was in charge of the camps in France in
1945.  In a report preserved at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
Lieutenant-Colonel Henry W.  Allard wrote that "the standards of PW camps
in the Com Z in Europe compare as only slightly better or even with the
living conditions of the Japanese PW camps our men tell us about, and
unfavourably with those of the Germans".  Let us remember that after the
war, the Americans executed Japanese for precisely the crimes referred to
by Allard. 

Mr Keegan does not accept the definition of the term "Other Losses" given
me by Colonel Philip S.  Lauben.  He is unaware of the US Army report
discovered by Richard Boylan, a senior archivist at the US National
Archives, which confirms Lauben.  The report plainly states that the
"Other Loses" category of prisoners meant deaths and escapes.  And
finally, of course, 1,700,000 Germans, plus hundreds of thousands of other
Europeans, are still missing from their families.  This astounding fact is
normally neglected by the Western apologists, unless they can also use it
to hammer the Soviets, saying they all died in the Gulag.  But now that
the Soviets are gone, their archives are open and the truth at last
emerges. 

That truth is simple.  The Soviets took some 4.1 million prisoners of war
east and west, of whom some 600,000 died in slavery.  Of the total take,
some 2.4 million were Germans.  Of these, some 450,600 died, the rest were
sent home.  Subtracting the 450,600 dead Germans from the missing 1.7
million, we see that some 1.25 million are still not accounted for.  Of
these, probably 100,000 - 200,000 died in Polish, Yugoslavian and other
camps.  The number remaining is very nearly the number I said in "Other
Losses" of those who died among all Europeans taken prisoner in the West.

I wonder if Mr Keegan will consult the Soviet records before attacking
them? The surprising thing about the Soviet records is that they are
extensive, detailed, accurate and incriminating.  For instance, on the
subject of prisoners of war, these archives display a dossier for each
prisoner, complete with capture records, biographical information,
legal,labour and medical history, including X-ray photographs, and so on. 
The average is about fifteen pages per person.  The dossier of Nobel prize
winner Konrad Lorenz, the Austrian zoologist contains two hundred pages
about him and his work.  No such records exist anywhere in the West.  In
months of work in the archives of the West, I was never able to find the
dossier for a single one of the 9 or so million prisoners held.  Not one. 
But in the first hour in the NKVD/KGB archives, I found the archival boxes
containing over 4 million personal dossiers.  I was allowed to walk up and
down the aisles, and take down and photocopy any box I chose at random,
and did so.  I have scores of photocopies of those records here in
Toronto, and Mr Keegan is welcome to consult them.  Or he may wish to
visit Moscow.  He will find interesting information beginning with the
story of the Japanese prisoners.  The Japanese authorities have long since
determined that some 62,000 of their prisoners, chiefly in the Kwantung
Army, died in the Gulag.  The Soviets lied to the Japanese government for
years about the number of deaths, first saying 3,800 had died, then about
4,000, then around 35,000.  Finally, the Soviet archives were opened, and
mirabile dictu, the death certificates were all there, totalling very
nearly 62,000. 

Do I hear Keegan protesting that Japan is not Germany? On his visit to
Moscow, he may see for himself the Soviet records showing that the
prisoners of various nationalities were often mixed together in the same
camp, so that Japanese were enslaved beside Germans, were all treated the
same way, and died in approximately the same ratio of much the same
causes.  Letters to me from individual prisoners and records at the Hoover
Institution in Stanford all show independently of the Soviet archives that
this was the case in more than thirty major camps. 

Let me also remind Keegan that the Poles long accused the Soviets of
massacring some 14,000 officers at Katyn, but that the Soviet archives
reveal that the true total was around 21,000.  If John Keegan and his
friends wish to attack the authenticity of the Soviet archives, they are
going to have to show that the fragmentary documents in the Western
archives, airy with lacunae and poxed with evasions, are superior to these
tremendous archives which incriminate its masters for a horrifying crime
against humanity.  What will they say then? That the Soviets are hiding
something?

Correct. The information came directly from the IMT testimony, and
was not refuted (or denied) by any of the defendants.

It is interesting that Mr. Schmidt fails to address the rape of
Denmark, Belgium, France, Holland, and Norway, as outlined during
the French presentation at Nuremberg. It is also interesting to note
that the French case relied heavily (some say almost exclusively)
upon _German_ documents, and that Mr. Schmidt fails to provide
refutation for even a _single_ one of those documents. Whether the
French situation was better than the English situation isn't
remotely relevant - the German documents entered into evidence by
the French prosecution team _are_ relevant, because they outline, in
precise fashion, exactly how the Nazis raped Europe, leaving it
incapable of either feeding itself, or, as the Tusas pointed out, a
defeated Germany.

By the time the war in Europe ended, Hitler had already "stolen
Germany empty." 

>In the unlikelyhood that any of you request to see a citation from

I request it, but I think I'd rather see someone obtain it directly
from the National Archives, or the United States Department of
Defense, rather than trust a "revisionist scholar" to produce an
accurate, in context, copy.

For those who missed the article to which Mr. Vicksell refers, I
offer it again:

Archive/File: holocaust/germany/nuremberg west.001
Last-Modified: 1994/12/04

   During their discussion of the French presentation of the case
   relating to Crimes Against Humanity in Western Europe, the Tusas
   included the following material. (In light of discussions about
   Bacque's "Other Losses," and conditions in Europe immediately
   following the surrender of Germany, I feel it is important to
   understand the situation clearly. knm)

   "More than any other case, theirs [the French] was based on
   documents. It was reckoned that of the 2,100 finally submitted to
   the court during the prosecution case, 800 had been introduced by
   the French. The onslaught of their documents was inexorable. Nearly
   all of them were German - unanswerable. Backing them, providing the
   statistics of Nazi crime, were the national reporters from each of
   the countries for whom France spoke.

   The facts and figures of the economic spoilation of Europe told of
   theft and destruction almost beyond imagining - the more so because
   each report warned that the scale of pillage and havoc had been so
   great that it was still not possible to estimate the final totals.
   Some of the figures were difficult to grasp and they certainly made
   little impact on many in court or in the Press. For instance, it
   needed a degree of financial knowledge and understanding of each
   country's economy to absorb such figures as those for financial
   seizures over and above what was legally permitted for occupation
   costs; in Denmark, the illegal seizures had been 8,000 million
   crowns, in Belgium 130,000 million Belgian francs. It helped when
   such figures were put into perspective: in France, the maximum sum
   which Germany could legally demand for the maintenance of her army
   of occupation was 74,000 million francs; yet the final French
   payment had come to 745,000 million, ten times larger. It was hard
   to picture information such as that the Germans had requisitioned
   without payment 70 million crowns worth of Danish agricultural
   produce each month or seized 1,100 million guilders worth of
   machinery and oil as they left Holland. The specific was easier to
   envisage: from Norway alone the Nazis had taken 30,000 tons of
   meat, 61,000 tons of dairy produce, 26,000 tons of fish, 68,000
   tons of fruit and vegatables, 112,000 tons of fats, 300,000 tons of
   hay and straw, 13,000 tons of soap; in Holland they seized 600,000
   hogs, 275,000 cows, 489 locomotives, 28,950 freight cars, and even
   1 million bicycles and 600,000 radio sets.

   As the torrent of statistics poured out, the mind tended to block
   off. Yet those who stopped to reflect realized what these figures
   had finally added up to. As J. Emlyn Williams, of the 'Christian
   Science Monitor' put it, this part of the French case explained why
   Europe was now in 'such a gigantic mess. It was not simply the
   result of the war but also the manner in which the Germans waged
   it, leaving those people they overran without means for their own
   recovery at the war's end and therefore of supplying help to the
   defeated Germans themselves.'<26> Bombing and fighting by both
   sides had done much to destroy Europe. But pillage by the Germans
   alone also wrought a terrible destruction and left a legacy of
   poverty and hunger."(Tusa, 190-1)

Recently Ken Mcvay posted an article indicating that German occupied
Europe was a basket case after the war and that this was largely due to
how the Germans had systematicaly looted these countries.  I asked
well-known revisionist Hans Schmidt about this.  His reply: 

Regarding this matter I have only to comment that according to "the"

France immediately after the "liberation" was better than that of England
at the same time. And there is no question that it was GERMANY that was

If there is enough demand for it, I will attempt to get hold of the

I'd love to see documentation of this (primary sources, please -- Hans
Schmidt doesn't fall into this category). It should also be interesting to
see your documentation of the implied equation "France = Europe".

As I wrote recently on another newsgroup, it's remarkable how the 
revisionists who wish to deny the sufferings of the Jews will go to any 
length to bleat about the sufferings of the Germans.

As to the unsupported allegation above, even if we accept it, it says 
very little useful, since we don't know (or I don't, offhand) the state 
of the English economy at the time.  And if France was doing relatively 
well, that doesn't mean that the rest of Europe was.  As to Germany, it 
was responsible for wasting the whole continent's resources in its war 
*and* genocide efforts.

Eisenhower's culpability or lack of it is of minor import compared to the

Ambrose's comments in his critical review of the book in which he stated
that Bacque had highlighted a matter of great historical importance by
uncovering the mistreatment of post-war German prisoners.

As yo put the 'liberation' in quotes it can only mean France after it was

I thought it would be nice to inject something relatively new into the
Other Losses discussion.  This is a letter by James Bacque, author of
Othe Losses.  It appeared in The Times Literary Supplement of August 20,
1993.

Sir,-It is every writer's delight to be attacked in a famous journal by a
confused critic, so my thanks go to John Keegan for airing his views on my
work in the TLS on July 23.

Mr Keegan has been misled by the editors of the book, "Eisenhower and the
German POWs: Facts against falsehood," which he cites to refute me.  The
principal editor, Stephen E.  Ambrose, clearly does not know what he
thinks from day to day, because he has varied wildly from strong approval
of my book, "Other Losses," to snarling slanders of me personally,
together with buffoonish misrepresentations of American army policies. 
Having kindly read my manuscript, he wrote to me as follows: "I am not
arguing with the basic truth of your discovery...you have the goods on
these guys, you have the quotes from those who were present and saw with
their own eyes, you have the broad outline of a truth so terrible I really
can't bear it...you really have made a major historical discovery..." It
appears from the latest Ambrose writings that, indeed, the truth was
something he could not bear.

The same might be said for his co-editor, Gunter Bischof, an Austrian. 
Keegan admires the "scholarship" of Bischof, but Bischof does not know a
displaced persons camp from a prison camp.  He chastises me for stating
that there was a US Army prison camp at Ebensee in Austria: he says that
the camp was for DPs.  In fact, I have photocopies of General Mark Clark's
secret report about the condition of prisoners of war in the camp, plus US
Army medical reports of prisoners in the camp, plus eyewitness accounts of
the catastrophe among dozens of thousands of prisoners, including the
manuscript of a diary kept by the priest Franz Loidl who ministered to the
dying.  This manuscript is on deposit in the Church History Institute of
the Catholic Theological Faculty, University of Vienna.

In the same book so admired by Keegan is a gross error made by Rudiger
Overmanns, who does not even know the number of prisoners taken by the
Americans.  This was not 3.8 million as he says, but over 6 million,
according to US Army records in Suitland, Maryland.  Of course, this
error, conveniently for Ambrose and Keegan, apparently diminishes the 
number of lives for which the Americans were responsible.

Underlying the Ambrose-Bischof book is a series on German prisoners edited
by Erich Maschke.  Underlying that series is no important documentation
from the US Army archives in Washington.  The author of the book on the
American camps casually omits all the significant records that survived
the paper purges of the late 1940s.  However, for an expert judgment on
the condition of American camps Mr Keegan may rely on the words of an
American Lieutenant-Colonel who was in charge of the camps in France in
1945.  In a report preserved at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
Lieutenant-Colonel Henry W.  Allard wrote that "the standards of PW camps
in the Com Z in Europe compare as only slightly better or even with the
living conditions of the Japanese PW camps our men tell us about, and
unfavourably with those of the Germans".  Let us remember that after the
war, the Americans executed Japanese for precisely the crimes referred to
by Allard. 

Mr Keegan does not accept the definition of the term "Other Losses" given
me by Colonel Philip S.  Lauben.  He is unaware of the US Army report
discovered by Richard Boylan, a senior archivist at the US National
Archives, which confirms Lauben.  The report plainly states that the
"Other Loses" category of prisoners meant deaths and escapes.  And
finally, of course, 1,700,000 Germans, plus hundreds of thousands of other
Europeans, are still missing from their families.  This astounding fact is
normally neglected by the Western apologists, unless they can also use it
to hammer the Soviets, saying they all died in the Gulag.  But now that
the Soviets are gone, their archives are open and the truth at last
emerges. 

That truth is simple.  The Soviets took some 4.1 million prisoners of war
east and west, of whom some 600,000 died in slavery.  Of the total take,
some 2.4 million were Germans.  Of these, some 450,600 died, the rest were
sent home.  Subtracting the 450,600 dead Germans from the missing 1.7
million, we see that some 1.25 million are still not accounted for.  Of
these, probably 100,000 - 200,000 died in Polish, Yugoslavian and other
camps.  The number remaining is very nearly the number I said in "Other
Losses" of those who died among all Europeans taken prisoner in the West.

I wonder if Mr Keegan will consult the Soviet records before attacking
them? The surprising thing about the Soviet records is that they are
extensive, detailed, accurate and incriminating.  For instance, on the
subject of prisoners of war, these archives display a dossier for each
prisoner, complete with capture records, biographical information,
legal,labour and medical history, including X-ray photographs, and so on. 
The average is about fifteen pages per person.  The dossier of Nobel prize
winner Konrad Lorenz, the Austrian zoologist contains two hundred pages
about him and his work.  No such records exist anywhere in the West.  In
months of work in the archives of the West, I was never able to find the
dossier for a single one of the 9 or so million prisoners held.  Not one. 
But in the first hour in the NKVD/KGB archives, I found the archival boxes
containing over 4 million personal dossiers.  I was allowed to walk up and
down the aisles, and take down and photocopy any box I chose at random,
and did so.  I have scores of photocopies of those records here in
Toronto, and Mr Keegan is welcome to consult them.  Or he may wish to
visit Moscow.  He will find interesting information beginning with the
story of the Japanese prisoners.  The Japanese authorities have long since
determined that some 62,000 of their prisoners, chiefly in the Kwantung
Army, died in the Gulag.  The Soviets lied to the Japanese government for
years about the number of deaths, first saying 3,800 had died, then about
4,000, then around 35,000.  Finally, the Soviet archives were opened, and
mirabile dictu, the death certificates were all there, totalling very
nearly 62,000. 

Do I hear Keegan protesting that Japan is not Germany? On his visit to
Moscow, he may see for himself the Soviet records showing that the
prisoners of various nationalities were often mixed together in the same
camp, so that Japanese were enslaved beside Germans, were all treated the
same way, and died in approximately the same ratio of much the same
causes.  Letters to me from individual prisoners and records at the Hoover
Institution in Stanford all show independently of the Soviet archives that
this was the case in more than thirty major camps. 

Let me also remind Keegan that the Poles long accused the Soviets of
massacring some 14,000 officers at Katyn, but that the Soviet archives
reveal that the true total was around 21,000.  If John Keegan and his
friends wish to attack the authenticity of the Soviet archives, they are
going to have to show that the fragmentary documents in the Western
archives, airy with lacunae and poxed with evasions, are superior to these
tremendous archives which incriminate its masters for a horrifying crime
against humanity.  What will they say then? That the Soviets are hiding
something?

    If the liquidations were happening without the Central Commands'
    knowledge and authorization, then why would Himmler note in a
    particular case:

>>        Judentransport aus Berlin. (Jew trasnport from Berlin)
>>        Keine Liquidierung.  (No liquidation)

    Seems fairly obvious to me that you only note "no liquidation" if there
    is a fairly standard practice of liquidating.  My application of Occam's
    Razor would indicate this to be the proper interpretation of Himmler's
    statement.

    Or stated another way: this is a textbook example of how the exception
    proves the rule.

    It is an _interpretation_.  So is Irving's argument about the meaning

    Utterly irrelevant.  What, then, is the meaning of just the second
line, "Alleged son of Molotov?"  It does not matter that Molotov had no
son; what matters is whether Hitler and Himmler _thought_ Molotov had a
son.  One can have an _erroneous_ belief as a motive for an action.  If I
shoot David Irving in the belief that he is a space alien, the fact that
he is _not_ a space alien can hardly be used to prove that I didn't shoot
him.

>Dr Jakelius was a Viennese neurologist involved in the Euthanasia 
>program;

    Irrelevant.  What matters is not who he was, but who Hitler or Himmler
_thought_ he was.  Was he on the transport or not?  Does Irving know?

    If the line about Jakelius is completely independent of the following
lines, what on earth could it mean?  Why was Jakelius arrested, or to be
arrested, if he was not believed to be Molotov's son?  Has Irving found
any record of Jakelius's arrest or pursuit, since presumably he was _not_
on the transport of Jews from Berlin?  (I say this not only because by
Irving's account this line is completely independent from the following
lines, but more importantly if he was part of the euthanasia program, it
is hard to believe that the Nazis would have employed a Jew in such a
sensitive undertaking.)


>and the consignment 
>of Jews from Berlin had that morning arrived in Riga and had already 
>been liquidated by the local SS commander by the time that Himmler 
>scribbled down Hitler's injunction."

    Irrelevant.  What matters is not whether the liquidation had already 
happened; what matters is whether Hitler _knew_ the liquidation had 
already happened at the time he gave Himmler the order.

    But let's suppose Irving's fantasy - for if Dawidowicz's
interpretation is that, so is Irving's; presumably he is not psychic and
has no special knowledge that she lacks in interpreting the four lines -
is true.  If unauthorized liquidations - murders, let's not mince words -
were going on, what would one _expect_ to happen if the big cheese found
out about it and disapproved?  _I_ would expect someone to be given a very
stern talking to and sent to bed without dinner, at the very least.  Has
Irving found any record of such an event?

Let's keep in mind, guys, that Irving now denies everything that he quoted
from the later edition of his book.  He's now decided that not only was
that one shipment of Jews not liquidated, but that there never _was_ an
attempt to liquidate the Jews.  The whole "keine Liquidierung" argument
arose in the _first_ edition of Hitler's War, and back then Irving was
still arguing that the Final Solution did take place, but without the
knowledge of der Fuehrer.

The obvious question is, if he now thinks that there never was any
liquidation going on, what was that telephone log entry expressly saying
"no liquidation" all about?  How does he reconcile his admission that the
trainload "had already been liquidated" with his position that there was
never a policy of liquidation?

Presumably Mr. Irving has some good rationalizations for his belief that
a few hundred thousand Jews were "liquidated" but that millions were not.
I'd be interested to hear that reasoning -- as I understand it, he
expounded ever-so-briefly in the latest edition of Hitler's War, but has
never written a comprehensive explanation of the analysis that led him
to that conclusion.

Perhaps true, but irrelevant. Some Nazi thought that maybe 
Molotov's son was on the train, and ordered not to kill him (and 
only him). It's written there, and Irving quotes it: "Alleged son 
Molotov". What counts is what Himmler (and Hitler) thought at the

# neurologist involved in the Euthanasia program; 

Oh, so Irving admits there was a Euthanasia program? Can he tell
us by what means the victims of that program were killed?

# and the consignment 
# of Jews from Berlin had that morning arrived in Riga and had already 
# been liquidated by the local SS commander by the time that Himmler 
# scribbled down Hitler's injunction."

Why were they liquidated?

# The gypsies were not to be liquidated either: yet they 
# were, in large numbers.

Why were they liquidated? 

# jury found differently and awarded him 40,000 Pounds damages. We 
# appealed the verdict to House of Lords, unsuccessfully. 

Ok, so finally we have confirmation on this. Thanks for saving
the trouble for chasing this information about Irving.

Just a little example of "denier logic".

Griswold and Vicksell both claimed that testicles of some
Nazi prisoners were crushed by their Allied captors. They
didn't present any evidence, but both believe it's true.

Now, what would happen if someone would post that the Nazis
did such a thing - crush the testicles of prisoners they held?

How would a Holocaust denier answer?

1) He would joke about it, like Vicksell joked about the
   Auschwitz crematoriums, like "Doyal" joked about the gas
   chambers, etc.

2) He would say that this is a cruel and sado-masochistic myth
   invented to defame the German people.

3) He would require physical evidence. He would demand that
   these crushed testicles be presented, and that a proof be 
   presented that a Nazi was responsible.

Why the double standard?

In short, can Vicksell and Griswold supply physical proof to
their claim? Obviously, no. If so, why do they accept it? What
is their criterion for accepting something as truth?

Recently Ken McVay posted an article that indicated that Europe was a 
basket case after the war, and that the primary cause of this was the way 
Germany had been systematically stripping the occupied countries of 
everything they could get their hands on, including food.

I asked Hans Schmidt. the head of the German American Political Action 
Committee (GANPAC) about this.  He told me the following:

Regarding this matter I have only to comment that according to "the" 
official report of 1945 by the U.S. Army, the economic situation in 
France immediately after the "liberation" was better than that of England 
at the same time.  And there was no question that it was GERMANY that was 
really stolen empty and bled dry by the victors---twice.

In the unlikelyhood that any of you request to see a citation from 
the U.S. Army report, I will try to get same from Hans.

Hey Jamie, Wayne McGuire has already told us how smart Irving is, i.e.
his (Irving's) reasoning powers are far beyond the ken of us poor 
mortals.  And McGuire ought to know -- he went to Harvard, after all.
So even if Irving told you his reasoning, I doubt that you or I would

I thought it would be nice to inject something relatively new into the
Other Losses discussion.  This is a letter by James Bacque, author of
Othe Losses.  It appeared in The Times Literary Supplement of August 20,
1993.

Sir,-It is every writer's delight to be attacked in a famous journal by a
confused critic, so my thanks go to John Keegan for airing his views on my
work in the TLS on July 23.

Mr Keegan has been misled by the editors of the book, "Eisenhower and the
German POWs: Facts against falsehood," which he cites to refute me.  The
principal editor, Stephen E.  Ambrose, clearly does not know what he
thinks from day to day, because he has varied wildly from strong approval
of my book, "Other Losses," to snarling slanders of me personally,
together with buffoonish misrepresentations of American army policies. 
Having kindly read my manuscript, he wrote to me as follows: "I am not
arguing with the basic truth of your discovery...you have the goods on
these guys, you have the quotes from those who were present and saw with
their own eyes, you have the broad outline of a truth so terrible I really
can't bear it...you really have made a major historical discovery..." It
appears from the latest Ambrose writings that, indeed, the truth was
something he could not bear.

The same might be said for his co-editor, Gunter Bischof, an Austrian. 
Keegan admires the "scholarship" of Bischof, but Bischof does not know a
displaced persons camp from a prison camp.  He chastises me for stating
that there was a US Army prison camp at Ebensee in Austria: he says that
the camp was for DPs.  In fact, I have photocopies of General Mark Clark's
secret report about the condition of prisoners of war in the camp, plus US
Army medical reports of prisoners in the camp, plus eyewitness accounts of
the catastrophe among dozens of thousands of prisoners, including the
manuscript of a diary kept by the priest Franz Loidl who ministered to the
dying.  This manuscript is on deposit in the Church History Institute of
the Catholic Theological Faculty, University of Vienna.

In the same book so admired by Keegan is a gross error made by Rudiger
Overmanns, who does not even know the number of prisoners taken by the
Americans.  This was not 3.8 million as he says, but over 6 million,
according to US Army records in Suitland, Maryland.  Of course, this
error, conveniently for Ambrose and Keegan, apparently diminishes the 
number of lives for which the Americans were responsible.

Underlying the Ambrose-Bischof book is a series on German prisoners edited
by Erich Maschke.  Underlying that series is no important documentation
from the US Army archives in Washington.  The author of the book on the
American camps casually omits all the significant records that survived
the paper purges of the late 1940s.  However, for an expert judgment on
the condition of American camps Mr Keegan may rely on the words of an
American Lieutenant-Colonel who was in charge of the camps in France in
1945.  In a report preserved at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
Lieutenant-Colonel Henry W.  Allard wrote that "the standards of PW camps
in the Com Z in Europe compare as only slightly better or even with the
living conditions of the Japanese PW camps our men tell us about, and
unfavourably with those of the Germans".  Let us remember that after the
war, the Americans executed Japanese for precisely the crimes referred to
by Allard. 

Mr Keegan does not accept the definition of the term "Other Losses" given
me by Colonel Philip S.  Lauben.  He is unaware of the US Army report
discovered by Richard Boylan, a senior archivist at the US National
Archives, which confirms Lauben.  The report plainly states that the
"Other Loses" category of prisoners meant deaths and escapes.  And
finally, of course, 1,700,000 Germans, plus hundreds of thousands of other
Europeans, are still missing from their families.  This astounding fact is
normally neglected by the Western apologists, unless they can also use it
to hammer the Soviets, saying they all died in the Gulag.  But now that
the Soviets are gone, their archives are open and the truth at last
emerges. 

That truth is simple.  The Soviets took some 4.1 million prisoners of war
east and west, of whom some 600,000 died in slavery.  Of the total take,
some 2.4 million were Germans.  Of these, some 450,600 died, the rest were
sent home.  Subtracting the 450,600 dead Germans from the missing 1.7
million, we see that some 1.25 million are still not accounted for.  Of
these, probably 100,000 - 200,000 died in Polish, Yugoslavian and other
camps.  The number remaining is very nearly the number I said in "Other
Losses" of those who died among all Europeans taken prisoner in the West.

I wonder if Mr Keegan will consult the Soviet records before attacking
them? The surprising thing about the Soviet records is that they are
extensive, detailed, accurate and incriminating.  For instance, on the
subject of prisoners of war, these archives display a dossier for each
prisoner, complete with capture records, biographical information,
legal,labour and medical history, including X-ray photographs, and so on. 
The average is about fifteen pages per person.  The dossier of Nobel prize
winner Konrad Lorenz, the Austrian zoologist contains two hundred pages
about him and his work.  No such records exist anywhere in the West.  In
months of work in the archives of the West, I was never able to find the
dossier for a single one of the 9 or so million prisoners held.  Not one. 
But in the first hour in the NKVD/KGB archives, I found the archival boxes
containing over 4 million personal dossiers.  I was allowed to walk up and
down the aisles, and take down and photocopy any box I chose at random,
and did so.  I have scores of photocopies of those records here in
Toronto, and Mr Keegan is welcome to consult them.  Or he may wish to
visit Moscow.  He will find interesting information beginning with the
story of the Japanese prisoners.  The Japanese authorities have long since
determined that some 62,000 of their prisoners, chiefly in the Kwantung
Army, died in the Gulag.  The Soviets lied to the Japanese government for
years about the number of deaths, first saying 3,800 had died, then about
4,000, then around 35,000.  Finally, the Soviet archives were opened, and
mirabile dictu, the death certificates were all there, totalling very
nearly 62,000. 

Do I hear Keegan protesting that Japan is not Germany? On his visit to
Moscow, he may see for himself the Soviet records showing that the
prisoners of various nationalities were often mixed together in the same
camp, so that Japanese were enslaved beside Germans, were all treated the
same way, and died in approximately the same ratio of much the same
causes.  Letters to me from individual prisoners and records at the Hoover
Institution in Stanford all show independently of the Soviet archives that
this was the case in more than thirty major camps. 

Let me also remind Keegan that the Poles long accused the Soviets of
massacring some 14,000 officers at Katyn, but that the Soviet archives
reveal that the true total was around 21,000.  If John Keegan and his
friends wish to attack the authenticity of the Soviet archives, they are
going to have to show that the fragmentary documents in the Western
archives, airy with lacunae and poxed with evasions, are superior to these
tremendous archives which incriminate its masters for a horrifying crime
against humanity.  What will they say then? That the Soviets are hiding
something?

This is David Irving's reply to a posting Brian Harmon made.

________________________________________________________________

The quotations used against me are taken from pp. 34-38 of the book The
Holocaust and the Historians by Lucy Dawidowicz (1981). They are also
contained in a handy pamphlet published more recently, evidently late in
1993, and peddled by the ADL entitled David Irving's Hitler: A Faulty
History Dissected.  Dawidowitz (and those aping her) accuse me of editing 
aa transcript of a Heinrich Himmler phone conversation of November
30,1941-as though it were the only evidence I adduced in my 860pp  
biography, Hitler's War (The Viking Press, 1075; Hodder and Stoughton,
London, 1977;  updated: Focal Point, London, 1991). 

First let me brag a bit: until I took the trouble of transcribing that 
entire file of Himmler's hand-written notes on his daily phone 
conversations, nobody else had ever bothered to do so - not even the 
biggest names in Holocaust historiography - even though it had been 
available since the late 1950s on National Archives microfilm No. T84, 
roll 26.  I used the original file in the Bundesarchiv (The German Federal 
Archives, from which - hey, Internet historians, what d'you think about 
this! - I have been formally banned since Juy 1, 1993, although they hold 
half a ton of records deposited by me including Himmler's 1935 and 1939 
diaries and the Eichmann typescripts.).

Lucy Dawidowicz writes, "The gist of the telephone message was entered in 
four short lines in the log, though Mr. Irving cited only the last two 
lines."  In fact I published the whole page of Himmler's entries for 
November 30, 1941 as a facsimile document in every edition of this book.  
Those four lines read in full:

        Verhaftung Dr. Jakelius
        Angebl. Sohn Molotov.
        Judentransport aus Berlin.
        Keine Liquidierung.

Literally translated as:"Arrest [=noun] Dr Jakelius.
Alleg[ed] son of Molotov.
Jew transport from Berlin.
No liquidation."

From these few words Lucy D. constructed this fable (and I quote her 1981
book and the tripe on Internet): "The last two lines now make sense. 
Himmler called Heydrich to instruct him that a certain Dr.  Jekelius,
presumed to be the Soviet Foreign Minister's son, was to taken in custody
by the security police.  Jekelius could be located in a transport of Jews
from Berlin, and unlike the rest of the transport, was not to be
liquidated." &c. &c.  Sources offered never a line, except her own 
fantasy. 

I refuted this absurd theory in the updated version of my Hitler's War, 
published by Avon Books (N.Y. in 1990 and available in every bookstore in 
the United States even today, flattering Dawidowicz (whom I 
chivalrously did not name) on page 19 of my Introduction with these words:

"Perplexed bt Himmler's hand-written note about a call to Heydrich 
after visiting Hitler's bunker on November 30, 1941 - "Arrest [of] Dr 
Jakelius.  Alleged son Molotov.  Consignment [Transport] of Jews from 
Berlin.  No liquidation." - these wizards of modern history scoffed that 
probably Molotov's son was believed to be aboard a trainload of Jews from 
Berlin concealed as "Dr Jakelius' and was on no account to be 
liquidated.  In fact Molotov had no son; Dr Jakelius was a Viennese 
neurologist involved in the Euthanasia program; and the consignment 
of Jews from Berlin had that morning arrived in Riga and had already 
been liquidated by the local SS commander by the time that Himmler 
scribbled down Hitler's injunction."

Let the record also show that Dawidowicz and the ADL's hired hacks, who 
appear to have trouble even reading Himmler's (old-German) handwriting, 
have ignored (or are ignorant of) a further entry in Himmler's telephone 
log, recording another call to Heydrich on April 20, 1942, after visiting 
Hitler yet again (it was of course Hitler's Birthday): "Keine Vernichtung 
der Zigeuner."  The gypsies were not to be liquidated either: yet they 
were, in large numbers.

                  * * *

I see the Internet controversy also mentions my best-selling work The
Destruction of Dresden (London & Boston, 1963).  Since that book appeared
other documents have become available; I alredy published a letter
summarising two of these in The Times in London in 1966ýé; this modified
the estimates I had given of the death-roll.  More documents, particularly
from Ultra (intercept) sources have also emerged, and I have incorporated
these in a revised edition of the book entitled Apocalype which is to
appear next year (I was going to call it Holocaust but I understand that
the word has been hijacked by other vested interests). 

It is totally untrue that my book Accident:The Death of General Sikorsko 
prompted any legal action, apart from a libel writ which I myself issued 
against Carlos Thompson, the late deranged husband of actress Lili Palmer.

It is true that my book The Destruction of Convoy PQ.17 attracted a libel
suit by one Royal Navy officer against my respected publisher Cassell & Co
and myself in 1970; having studied the then secret documents which I had
used in writing the book, both Cassell's insurer's and my barrister
concluded that I had written the truth and not libelled the captain.  A
jury found differently and awarded him 40,000 Pounds damages.  We appealed
the verdict to House of Lords, unsuccessfully.  In the intervening quarter
century nobody has sued me, although I have written thirty books.  Not
many newspapers can boast such a record.

Germany destroyed a big part of Poland, especially the Polish capital
Warsaw. Caused death of almost 6 000 000 of Polish citizens,
50% of them Jewish , and made milions of Poles suffer ilnesses
like tuberculosis, mental ilnesses.
The situation of the Western Europe was generally better. However
the comparison of GB and France is cynical. Great Britain
was the only fighting Western European country for almost five years.
Continuous German bombers and V-1, V-2 attacks, reconstruction
of the industry for the war , Western front - all had to be paid
after the war. 
Unfortunately the 'expert' omitted the murder of thousands
of Jews from France. 

Poor GERMANY ! It had to invide Poland in 1939, France and many
other countries. It didn't anything wrong, just was hungry,
had to eat human flesh and to drink blood. How to criticize
a vampire that it acts as a vampire.

I would certainly like to see this. I can actually believe that the economic 
situation in the UK (it's the UK or Britain, not England. The United Kingdom 
also includes Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland. Calling it England is rather 
like calling the whole of North America the USA) was worse than that in 
France, depending on your viewpoint. The French economy before the war was 
largely agrarian, whereas the British economy was, for the time, highly 
industrialised. Britain lost a lot of industry to bombing, but, more 
importantly, had to turn to borrowing huge amounts of money from others 
(mainly the USA) to finance massive arms production. This arms production 
obviously had an effect on production of other goods. France was not in 
the war long enough to have to do this.

In short, WW2 almost broke Britain. So yes, I can believe that France had less 
debt, less industry destroyed (they had less to start with), and by those 
criteria was in better shape than the UK. 

However, the fact that France may have been in better shape than the UK does 
not seem to me to disprove that Europe was "a basket case" after the war. For 
different reasons to the rest of Europe Britain was also in a very bad way. 
As an example, I don't know if you realise that rationing lasted well into the 
fifties in Britain.

Recently Ken McVay posted an article that indicated that Europe was a 
basket case after the war, and that the primary cause of this was the way 
Germany had been systematically stripping the occupied countries of 
everything they could get their hands on, including food.

I asked Hans Schmidt. the head of the German American Political Action 
Committee (GANPAC) about this.  He told me the following:


Regarding this matter I have only to comment that according to "the" 
official report of 1945 by the U.S. Army, the economic situation in 
France immediately after the "liberation" was better than that of England 
at the same time.  And there was no question that it was GERMANY that was 
really stolen empty and bled by the victors---twice.

In the unlikelyhood that any of you request to see a citation from 
the U.S. Army, I will try to get same from Hans.

A Polish revisisionist friend of mine, whose mother was a high school
teacher, was telling me how the Germans closed all the Polish secondary
schools and institutions of higher learning, thus adding thousands of
unemployed teachers to the ranks of the resistance. 

I must admit the Germans did do some pretty dumb things.  Even Hans 
Schmidt was shaking his head about how poorly they managed the occupied 
territories, especially in Eastern Europe.

Hi Bradley,

My personal opinion is that deniers are attracted to the 
Holocaust-is-a-myth theory specifically BECAUSE it is not the popular 
position.  There are some people who will determinedly march to a 
different drummer under any circumstances (I count myself under that 
banner, although I've mellowed considerably since I've had children )

I'm plowing my way through the tapes of the 1993 (or is it 1994) IHR 
conference and I'm struck by how similar the tone is to conversations I 
used to have with my old "counter-culture" pals in San Francisco (a 
'different-drummer' town if there ever was one!).  "When the revolution 
comes..." we used to say.  COmpare that to "When the Holohoax has been 
buried...".  A lot of wishin' and hopin' and dreamin'--but not a lot of 
sincere soul-searching.

Deniers NEED the Holocaust to hang their identities on.  With it they 
are 'tireless-truth-seekers' fighting the odds against an unfair and 
insincere society.  Without it, they are a bunch of random-access kooks 
without a windmill to tilt against.

Just my humble opinion, of course...

Best wishes, Annie

    The part about Ambrose contradicting himself is just plain silly.  He 
changed his opinion based on later information.  What's so hard to 
understand about that?

    Unfortunately, there is a great deal of missing information in the 
letter which would be useful to have - e.g., the date of the report found 
by Boylan defining "other losses" as compared to the date the DEF status 
was put into use.

    I also note that the records of live Soviet prisoners does not tell us
anything about whether others were shot on the spot and never officially
taken prisoner.  This argument is exactly as specious as the one that
argues that since the Nazis kept official death records of registered
prisoners, they would not have killed people _not_ registered as prisoners
without making a record of it.

    Where does he get his figures for missing soldiers from?  On what 
does he base his glib assumption that one or two hundred thousand died in 
other eastern European camps, so that the numbers more or less work out?

    For these meatier issues, right now it's like nailing jelly to the
wall.  I have lots of questions, but until those are answered, I can't
give any kind of sensible response.  Maybe I'll make use of that address.

Oops.  Quite right.  My mistake.

Take two: "Never was a case of poison gas uncovered" -- because the
mass gassings (as opposed to experiments and small-scale operations)
took place in areas that the American army didn't reach.

(I could believe that the same was true of Auschwitz, too.  It's
plausible that all gassed corpses were disposed of before the SS
fled.)

    The paragraph in question did not seem to be limited to the Altreich -
or at least I think that's the impression O'Keefe wanted to convey.  But
while the camps were running smoothly, as far as I know, _everyone_ (even
those who died of genuine natural causes) was cremated.  So Dr. Larson's
investigation of the corpses found at the end of the war really isn't
proof that nobody was gassed earlier, and investigation of corpses at
Dachau isn't proof that there were no gassings at Auschwitz.  I wonder if 
Dr. Larson found any shooting or hanging victims?  If he didn't, does 
this mean that nobody in any camp was ever shot or hung?

    Were there any credible eyewitness accounts of gassings at Dachau?  
Any confessions?  Such a lack, compared to Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, 
and Belzec, is much more significant than a pathologist's report on those 
who died only during the final days of the war.

What should I read to get the numbers of people (Gemans,Japananese,

I agree with the drift of what you're saying here and before. Here particularly.
But I see it being even truer for some (some) of those whose entire subjective
life is attached to the concept of unique German monstrosity. You can see a
great deal of it here in alt.revisionism but it is rampant in contemporary
American (and German from what I understand) culture.
 
In the end, forgetting the individual weaknesses of all of us on every side
of The Controversy, revisionist theory stands or falls on its published
eory. Our individual weaknesses are neither here nor ther
there. Thank God (to coin a phrase).

# Who's doing all the forensic examination of gas chambers, crematoria,

Forensic examinations at the Auschwitz crematoriums were made in
1945, and not by Holocaust deniers. No Holocaust denier has done
any worthwhile work about the Auschwitz crematoriums. Some other
people have.

# aerial photos, 

What aerial photos? I've seen Greg Raven make claims about Treblinka
based on aerial photographs. He admits these were taken a year
after the camp was dismantled... As for Auschwitz - one little
example: David Irving claimed (according to a speech of his
posted here) that the aerial photograph of Birkenau shows that
the roofs of the gas chambers are "bear", and one cannot see
any structures via which the Zyklon was introduced. This is a
lie, as can be verified by looking at that photograph (I have a
GIF file of a part of it, showing Krema III, and one can clearly
see four such structures on the roof).

For the record, I am against persecuting Holocaust deniers. I guess
most folks who have been reading what I post here realize what my
opinion about them is, but I am against persecuting them. Canada
should learn from the US in this respect.

On a side matter, Vicksell's claim about the "incriminating 
observations" Ball allegedly made about the Auschwitz aerial
photos is pure rubbish, like practically everything Vicksell
writes. If he claims differently, let's see these "incriminating
observations". Since my main areas of interest are image 
processing and computer vision, I also have professional interest
in this topic.

I'm certainly 100% opposed to holocaust deniers being hauled into
court or otherwise legally harassed for the mere expression of their
opinions and view it as an unjust persecution.

On the other hand, independent of the occasional exception, quite a
few people who are unjustly persecuted also happen to be very wrong.

I view this more like the famous Nazis in Skokie, Ill case. The Nazis
are two-bit, wrongheaded scumbags, but they still have their
constitutional rights and that's fine by me. But they're still
two-bit, wrongheaded scumbags. Humiliating them in public forum is
enough for me, though.

Obviously this hasn't happened in the US, certainly not significantly
nor conclusively, as their noise here amply demonstrates. Fine by me.

Not that I know of, which was the point, namely that your conclusions
don't seem to follow from your premises.  Pressac did a careful
analysis of much of the primary documentation of the construction and
operation of Auschwitz, and didn't get into hot water for it.  Among
other things, in his discussion of the photographs taken at Auschwitz
during the time of its operation, he showed that at least one of them
had been retouched later (people's faces had been altered) and as
far as I know he hasn't gotten in any hot water for that either.

The people who are getting in "hot water" was you call it are people
like Leuchter, and it is not for their having done their analyses that
they are getting in hot water but for their incompetence and lies.

And how much "hot water" has, say, Friederich Berg or Greg Raven gotten
into?

    I have never had to do anything underhanded to get adversaries to say

The following dialogue between Martev (1) and Mr. Vicksell (2) should be
analyzed:

(1)The word of Dr Piper should be enough.  

(2)Not for me, it ain't.  I'd as soon take the word of David Cole.

(1: If someone doesn't believe him, write to HIM and ask him.  

(2)And he'll just repeat his lies.

Mr. Cole's word must certainly be in doubt.  Anyone who has seen the video
will agree. In the tape Mr. Cole admits to deceit (is that the same as
lies?) in order to gain the confidence of the personnel at the Auschwitz
Museum. Hmmm... Mr. Vicksell prefers the word of an admitted liar to that
of a professional historian! 

On the other hand, if any answer by Dr. Piper would necessarily be a lie
(according to Mr. Vicksell), one must assume that anything Dr. Piper
stated in Mr. Cole's video is also a lie.

It is rather difficult to have things both ways, isn't it?

Ross, can you document a case of someone on "our side" (by which I assume
you mean what someone has called the "Archivists") doctoring a tape to
make the deniers say "embarrassing things"?  Can you even document a case
where someone here doctored a denier's posted article to make the denier
say embarrassing things?

I'm just not sure what you're getting at here.  It's not our goal or
purpose to make the deniers say embarrassing things; we merely point out
when they have said something for which they should be embarrassed. 
There's a very real distinction.

I'm using "your side" in a more general sense.  Just as David affected a
yarmulke and prayer book to get Piper to let down his guard, so an
undercover operator pretending to be a representative of a right-wing racist
group was sent by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to pretend to try to recruit
Mark Weber into this non-existent group. In the course of having lunch
with Mark, the agent allegedly got Mark to say how dissatisfied he was
with his job at the IHR and how he would be only too willing to move on to
greener pastures if the opportunity were presented to him.  I believe Ken
McVay has an entry about it in his Archive.

So are you saying

a. that the Cole videotape is a fictionalized retelling of a historical event;

b. that the Cole videotape consists of a series of episodes building
toward, designed to give a greater understanding of, and culminating in
the central/focal/pivotal interview with Dr. Piper;

c. both a and b; or

d. what?

Sometimes you astound me with your obstinate obtuseness.  (Or is it obtuse
obstinacy?)

Really Ross? That was basically my reaction to the text from Felderer
also.

Perhaps he's being unfairly treated but the text seemed quite
disjointed and rambling, independent of the issue (which it really
didn't shed any light on.)

So what exactly is he in prison for? I read the whole thing and all I
could gather was the he believes he's got the establishment at large
running scared. That's not exactly a summary, nor a very insightful
comment whence sitting in a prison cell.

Perhaps you're a bit too accustomed to preaching to the choir (him
also) and figure just because the guy is in prison everyone will
automatically take as gospel that it must be unfair and sway in
hypnotic agreement to his angry (I guess) tones. It certainly wasn't
at all apparent to me what was going on and his text seemed a bit,
well, delusions of grandeur come to mind but hey, who knows. Like I
said I'm having a lot of trouble getting anything factual out of any
of this.

I don't see how the fact that it sits on donated govt land implies
that these salaries are paid by the taxpayer. Do you think one follows
from the other? What are you trying to say here? You lost me.

And is this really any different from a creationist beleaguring a
natural history museum?

I think that article was pretty damn misleading, and purposely so.

Why don't y'all stick to trying to convince anyone, other than your
choir and a few kleim types (ie, die-hard nazis who love yer stuff),
that there's anything worthwhile in your beliefs. Rather than drawing
conclusions from them.

People go homeless and all that, yeah, right. Funny how this is where
y'all have decided to start fixing that problem...

It's so damn cheap and transparent, real kook stuff.

It's also not shocking that y'all attack anything that documents the
Holocaust. That's most telling of your agenda. What crap. What next
Ross? Burn down the libraries? I mean, they do house a lot of books
documenting the holocaust. That you don't agree surely must be a good
reason to just burn them to the ground. Lah-dee-dah.

Crap crap crap.

This doesn't really address the issue.  If Leuchter had been running his
business in any kind of rational fashion, he would have kept some records
of his dealings with the prison.  Thus, when the prison officials said
"we have never had any dealings with this guy," Leuchter's lawyer could
have pulled out the correspondence and said "well, then, why did you 
write this letter saying 'Thank you for your help'?" or pulled out
the check stub and say "well, then, why did you pay him?" or at the
very least pulled out the long-distance phone log and said "we have
evidence of several lengthy phone calls between you and him.  What were 
they about?"

I am not a lwayer and I don't know the statute of limitations for 
such things as loss of business or slander.  But it seems to me that
if Leuchter can show that he was unable to rebuild his business as a
result of what those two wardens said, then his case is that
much stronger.  But the story as you tell it still makes no sense to
me.  On the one hand we have the possibility that the wardens lied in order
to protect some vast conspiracy.  On the other hand we have the possibility
that they were telling the truth, and that Leuchter -- who had already
admitted in open court to having lied about one thing already -- was
lying about the extent to which his services were used.  Unless you
present some kind of overwhelming evidence for the former possibility,
I cannot see any rational person preferring it to the second.

Mr. Vicksell, you seem to be at least friends enough with Leuchter's
attorney that you can call him up just to chat.

Why not ask him and/or Mr. Leuchter himself whether he has any letters,
check stubs, or phone logs indicating that Mr. Leuchter had dealings
with the two prisons in question?

Tell you what -- if you can produce any evidence at all that Mr. Leuchter
dealt with those wardens in the manner which he said he did, I'll
renounce that claim that he perjured himself on that matter.  Until you
or someone else produces such evidence, I'll continue to make that claim.

> Pressure was brought on the prison officials.  Period.

And your evidence for this is...?

Do you have any?

Any at all?

Anything?

have from another 'revisionist scholar' are, as usual, more

    True.  Does this make what the Nazis did right?  Also, were the 
Japanese forced to perform slave labor?  Remember, Kleim said this was 
justified due to the "benefits" received in the camps.

You "believe"?

That's a very serious claim, but you just fling whatever crap comes
into your head, right? The CODOH is *so* impressive!

There were no particular provisions regarding private property of
Japanese-Americans who were interned.

What did happen was that many felt they had to liquidate (ie, sell)
property quicky as no one would be available to take care of it or
whatever. That was a terrible thing and no doubt many ended up selling
at well below value which isn't hard to turn into a story of someone
else's benefit.

The Nazis, who you are comparing this too (unbelievable as it may be)
had laws confiscating Jewish property, period. In particular Jewish
businesses and homes, for the state. They set up a large bureaucracy
to hunt down and dispose of (on behalf of the Reich) Jewish-owned
property.

I won't defend or try to minimize what happened to Japanese-Americans,
but I challenge you to find any Japanese-American who was involved to
go along with your comparison in the slightest.

No. The truth of the matter is you folks will use anyone's suffering
or problems to spread your own propaganda.

Truth of the matter is, Ross, you don't give a shit about what
happened to Japanese-Americans in WWII. Just like you guys jump at the
plight of Palestinians when it suits you. It's just propaganda value
to y'all in your desperate and transparent attempt to spread hate and
lies.

I mourn all true victims you people use for your own selfish and
hateful interests.

I'll be eager to see what you learn.  And I repeat my earlier statement:
if you can produce convincing evidence that Mr. Leuchter had actual
business dealings with those prison wardens, contrary to what the wardens
themselves said, I'll renounce the claim that he perjured himself on that
matter.

Meanwhile -- you ignored my question as to how you know that "pressure was
brought on the prison officials."

What evidence do you have for that, Mr. Vicksell?

It's an important question.  If you have no evidence, then your
willingness to posit the existence of "pressure" speaks volumes about
your standards for proof.  If two prison wardens each say that they've
had no dealings with Leuchter, then Occam's Razor would indicate that,
in the absence of evidence indicating otherwise, they indeed have had
no dealings with Leuchter.

Do you have any evidence indicating otherwise?

And if not, why did you invent this "pressure" of which you speak?

                     Revisionist  Ruse

Letter writer Ross Vicksell ("Revisionist history," Nov 28), who wrote
that his group advocated hearing "the other side of the Holocaust story," 
is a Holocaust denier.  Holocaust deniers are anti-Semites.  Would you
print a letter from the Committee for Open Debate on Black Slavery, which
wants to debate whether or not black slavery existed, or to allow people

	(quoting a letter that appeared in a recent McLean's Magazine)

>Letter writer Ross Vicksell ("Revisionist history," Nov 28), who wrote
>that his group advocated hearing "the other side of the Holocaust story," 
>is a Holocaust denier.  Holocaust deniers are anti-Semites.

Virtually every data point we've seen here indicates that holocaust
deniers are in fact anti-semites and hate-mongerers who lie and
fabricate to sell their wares.

I realize they try to appeal to the idea that *in theory* one could
raise these issues without being an anti-semite. That might be true.

But the experience belies that, and hatred is their motivation as
anyone with any experience with them soon comes to realize.

Even Mr Vicksell, though not as rabid as most, can't seem to stay away
from issues such as Israel's current arms exports or the Palestinian
red-herring (a red herring for him, he only uses it when he has
nothing else to say in defense of some whack-o statement he's made) in
an attempt not to argue his point about events that may or may not
have occurred during the second world war, but rather to discredit all
things remotely Jewish with the clear sub-theme that jews are simply
not to be believed or respected as human beings. I suppose it's easier
than his trying to prove his ridiculous and laughable view of the
history of the second world war.

And Mr Hoffman's never-ending "proofs" that this or that industry
(usually the movie industry) is in the death-grip of joooos, he seems
to believe that Steven Spielberg is the only (or primary) reason
anyone believes the Holocaust exists! But that's not really his
point. His point is the same as any nazi, drag the jews out of their
jobs, kick them bloody on the streets, and then perhaps even the likes
of Mr Hoffman would be employable, after all, nature abhors a
vacuum...it's all rather transparent, and of course utterly irrelevant
to what exactly did or did not happen during the second world war.

Yet Mr Vicksell's point is...what?

That people "unfairly" and quickly label holocaust deniers "anti-semites"?



Mr Vicksell, you wallow in one of the largest known cesspools of
hatemongering (and not just anti-jewish, tho it's a favorite)
currently known. And you wonder why people sense the foul odor on your
person?

Just who do you think you are kidding?

Why not just show a little courage and come out and say it, you're not
fooling anyone (except perhaps yourself.)

    Ross, I commend you for posting a letter which clearly does not put you
    in a good light.  I, personally, agree with Bernie's letter with the
    exception that I would have said "Most holocaust deniers are
    anti-semites."                    ^^^^

    I think Bernie might have trouble proving an absolute in this case.

I'd agree 100% with the author of that letter - his analogy is
*excellent*.

The point is, there IS no real debate about the Holocaust. There is no
real question that it occured. There is *more* evidence supporting the
fact that the holocaust happened than there is that Blacks were bought
and sold as slaves in America.

There is no debate, and no controversy, except among those with an
ulterior motive. 

Revisionism *is* motivated by antisemitism, and anyone who buys into
it is either an antisemite or a fool.

Taiwan has had some missiles exported from Israel also.

That's absolutely fascinating Ross, and what's the principal export of
Burundi?

Oh, that wasn't your point?

Well, ok, more to the point:

Does it bother you that both the 1994 Information Please Almanac and
the CIA World Factbook both list polished diamonds as Israel's
principle export? And among the list of major exports none lists arms?
Actually, the CIA World Factbook lists arms as one of their major
*imports*.

So I'm sure you are going to provide us with the source of this bit of
information you posted so people don't think you just fabricate
everything that comes out of your mouth to serve your own
holocaust-denier, basically anti-semitic, political agenda.

You wouldn't want anyone to think that of you, of course. Thank you,
looking forward to it!

Oh, and please do spare us any ranting about the Information Please
Almanac being a lying Zionist front and helpless pawn of the great and
vast international jewish conspiracy. Your own references (or lack
thereof) will suffice to allow us to draw our own conclusions.
