You say that you made a mistake. Which mistake. Is it this paragraph:

and if so, could you explain us the circunstances suroounding it?
I didn’t want to come back on that (si, si…) but since you bring
it back again, I’m curious…

Since I divided the ‘500 to 600 meter cube per hour’ by 60 to get
10 meter cube, evidently I wanted to say ‘minutes’ rather than
‘per hour’.

Mr Morris, the energetic consumption of a moder crematory is about
23 meter cube of natural gas, which is almost the equivalent of 30
kg of coke plus the coffin if I remember well (I did the calculus
several weeks ago and I’m quoting from memory). This mean that there’s
no major difference with the 20’s ovens, and I’m not so surprise:
500 or 600 meter cube of cold air per oven ( 2,000 meter cube of hot air)
is not a fantastic figure for a ventilation system, 10 meter cube per hour,
imagine… _even_ without an air injection system, you had necessarelly
air which was coming in, oxygen was need. The possibility that it was
half of it do not change drastically coke consumption as soon I’m
checking those figures (today and in the 20’s) they are not really different.

I don’t know how you can make such sentences. I didn’t say that I refused
the claim of Jack Springer simply because his claim are not in contradiction
with what I said. He just said, according to your statement, that cremating
without destroying all the body take less time. What’s so fantastic?
(you called it ‘whitening the bones).
The experiments that were done in the 20’s demolish your pretentions,
the energetic consumption in today’s crematories demolish your claim,
you make insinuations that you are more qualify than a guy who got a
degree in physic engineering several years ago to discuss about theromdynamic
equations and then you claim victory???? I’m not a Phd in that
field, but I know enough to manage myself and get very good
estimations.

I’m not a biologist M. Van Alstine. But you do not seems to explain me
where one of my hypothesis may be wrong: with your article, what I did
consider was simply that head louse do not search to move into the clothes,
probably because this louse is preprogramm to search exclusivelly dense
environnement, for reasons of security? hairs that give it a protection.
Or perhaps there’s a speciic smell. What seems obvious with your article
is that head louse do not jump in the clothes, probably because this kind
of louse do not recognize it as an appropriate niche, no dense hair.
Or either those clothes are clean. I figure that the smell of a clean
clothes is removing it from this potentiel niche.
What I would like to know now is why hairs would remove (alienate? estrange)
body louse. It’s as safe as a niche then clothes. If someone’s clothes
are durty, we migh not expect this person’s hairs to be clean. I don’t
see actually why body louse could not in some extent move into hairs.
If you have a reason I’m interest to see why.

oops! I’ve just reread your text:

>Head lice prefer to live on the hair of the head although they have been
>known to wander to other parts of the body. The body louse prefers to
>remain on the clothing of the host, and feed on the body. A person

Sorry, it is written that head louse can also sometimes be found on the
body, despite it is not the most frequent case. It is say also that the body
louse ‘prefer’ to lives on the body, which is not the samething that ‘lives
exclusivelly’. Samething for the question of the person who remove his
clothes, the paragraph contain a ‘may’, and the word body follow.

This was just one of my arguments, the others were simply that the
SS who were facing a huge typhus epidemy were not adopting fancy measures,
they took no risk. You stated after that hairs were used for industrial
purpose, however this do not mean that this use was a single one. Your
paragraph was quite interesting, I’ll quote now another one, from
Pressac: ‘Les crematoires d’Auschwitz’, page 32:

“Pour contrer ce danger, un Institut d’hygiene SS devait etre mont‚
… Raisko, ce qui fut fait en en octobre. Mais le typhus les surprit. Ils
pensaient que les mesures prophylactiques (quarantaine et tonte des
cheveux) et d’hygiene (desinfection locale des poils, douches) appliquees
aux detenus a leur arrivee, eviterait l’introduction de ce fleau dans le
camp par l’eradication du vecteur, le pou.”

“To fight the danger, an SS hygine institute had to be establish in Raisko,
and this was done in October. But the thyphus surprrised them. They thought
that prophylactic measures (quarantine and hair shaving) and hygienic
measures (desinfection of body hair, showers) applied to inmates upon
arrival could avoid the introduction of this plague in the camp by the
eradication of the vector, louse”.

The reference that Pressac gives is ACM 502-4-2 to 502-4-47, sey of the
46 “Sterebucher”, of KL Auschwitz.
Everybody in the world know that document <GRIN>.
Well, don’t know were in those documents Pressac found that, sometimes
Pressac let his imagination going away despite I don’t see why an anti-
revisionist would have invent such a reference to ‘hygienic conditions’
as the purpose for shaving. Your ‘industrial purpose’ is not incompatible
with sanitary purposes if other document mention it. IMHO, it’s not
ridicoulous to think that the German disinfected the morgues because they
redoubted lice from the body. And if it is not the body, it is the lice
that was bring by the crematory operators. No beds to live in the
crematoria? didn’t you said that louse could live several days without
a host? In that case also (lice bring by the crematory operators), the
disinfection wasn’t a stupid security measure.

Pressac state that typhus continue to kill simply because civilian who
were not shave brought it into the camp. This time however, I’m not
sure that it is his own interpretation or something that he read in
the documents. I didn’t say neither that shaving the head did make
the difference, I said that in the mind of the Germans, it was one of
the way to fight typhus among others.

They were built there to fight typhus. The fact that SS testified
do not change the basical laws that exist in nature.
SS testified gas chambers in Germany, there was also prooven case

No the FACTS are given by the variables that influence cremation time
(surface exposure, temperature and oxygen intake). Birkenau ovens
were NOT built to burn more than one body at a time accounting for
their dimension, you are just making a sery of unreference and
unproven statements.

By the way Mr Van Alstine, before to continue, I would like to know what
was exactly your reference about those burning pits were the germans were
suppose to burn bodies and collect fat, especially the one where it is say that the Germans dig up larger trench just for the sake of fat collection.
I’ll go to the library Sunday and Monday and I’d like to take a look at that
stuff, if it is not asking you too much.

Yes, it reduce the coke requirement despite I don’t think it reduce
it by a one fatcor (example 100 kj save for 100 kj produce)

If I remember well the text that I reproduced was giving 23 kg of coke
for several cremation (an average) with thermal equilibrium and 30 kg of
coke for the average on 8 cremations. I figure that what Mattogno found in
the text gave the coke consumption for the first cremation and a reduce one
for the others and he apllied those figures to get is figure for twenty
consecutives cremations. And your interpretation about my statements is
wrong: I said that in a modern oven, with a gasket, it take 23 meter cube
of natural gas. In Mattogno’s text, he state ‘29.5 kg of coke plus the gasket’,
and he state also that in an oven without a gasket (15 kg of coke) it would
have take 45 kg of coke. I interpret that as: the bodies were cremated into
a gasket and it took 30 kg of coke for 8, or either that they were cremated
without a gasket and Mattogno gave the rough figures after he did the substrac-
tion himself.

Reread the text, you’ll see. If not, I’ll see if there’s something more to
add later (from the book).

I’ve receive yesterday an email from Matt Giwer about that where
he talked about a confusion with malaria. I choosed to wait
the public appearance of his message to respond but his message
is still not there. When I wrote that I wanted to say: to dispose
the body of peoples who died from typhus, but I think simply that
I had still in the mind the question of the morgue desinfection
when I wrote ‘on line’ this 4 th reply of my evening to Mike Curtis.
I though first that it was prefereable to correct it the morning
after but really I didn’t imagine that so much peoples were reading
my postings so I drop it. Now you know: I simply made an error.

Faurisson talked about a criminal bureaucratic delay, despite
it’s possible they continued to send people just to replace thhe
workers who died. But your point is not obvious: there’s documents
and letters from the Germans which talk about the campain against typhus,
how can you deny that it was their goal? ooops! you said ‘their
_only_ goal, but I still don’t see your point. Wether they continue
to send peoples there because of a bureaucratic error or because
they wanted to replace the workers who died.
For your little calculus, it is hard to believe that the Germans
didn’t account for natural delays, breakdown or anything else
when they built the crematories. If not, I can take the same
datas and claim that they planned to liquidate hundreds of thousans
of inmates in Dachau with gas chambers since Dachau’s
oven were 6 time less important in number, but that the inmate
population was also less important in the same extent

I’ve to work on the second part during the weekend, but here’s the first
one:

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

CREMATORIA

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

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

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

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

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

Multiple corpses in an oven:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

August 1943

population death %

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

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

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

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

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

Permanent use?

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

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

> in massive pits. Two gruesome photographs of these “burning pits”, taken

> quality, and show men standing by a pile of naked bodies, with the smoking
> pit in front of them. Some bodies are being dragged into the pit. The pho-
> tographs are reproduced by Pressac.

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

The fuel:

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

The documents:

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

The Jahring document (28 June, 1943) says that the 52 muffles of Auschwitz-
Birkenau were able to reduce to ashes 4,756 corpses per day with a 24 hour a
day operation. The date of the document matches the period when several major
breakdowns were affecting Birkenau’s crematoria (the SS were trying desperately
to repair it at that time, as Pressac documented). The origin of the document
is the ‘Committee of the Anti-fascist Resistance of the German Democratic Repu-
blic. There was no reason for the SS to claim such an output at the moment that
they had so many difficulties with those crematoria: this document is a forgery.
Morever, in another document reproduce on page 224 the crematoria operated only
12 hours a day.

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

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

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

My twin brother told to John Morris that he will never come back on that

Well, since Mr Morris persisted to say that his crematory operator
told him that the main problem in modern cremation was the burning of
the coffin and since few dozens line below he said that he ‘admitted
his error’, one could ask himself if the coffin was taking the largest
part of the cremation time or not. However, the main thing is that this
canadian law never existed neither. My twin brother told me that every
where he asked about this question he was told that there was no problem
with the coffin ashes. He even said that he asked several time to J.
Morris to give the text of the law and got no answer. It seems that
we are getting older, and older, and that Nizkor hadn’t yet correct this
‘error’ after Mr Morris suggestion a while ago. I don’t know how many
thousands persons visit Nizkor each month compare to the 100 or 200
permanent ‘staff’ of alt.revisionism, but lets put some pressure now…

In this case, we expect a replacement of this error with a solid
reference from a crematory designer (Springate) who claim that in case
of epidemy, a quick way to dispose the bodies in sery would be to
partially burn them only and that could take an hour. Well, the problems
are multiple here: since carbonized flesh is not completelly burn,
we have to ask ourself why we never eared in the post war eye witness
account anything related to such a thing. The bodies were supposed to
be reduce in ashes. not in a mix of (not well) friable bones with
carbonized flesh paste on it. And if this method was adopt, then we
have to ask ourself why the Nazis were not using an alternative method
that can’t reduce the body completelly (burning with gazoline and wood)
since they were not dependant of costing equipments related to cremato-
ries, nor any breakdown that have slow down the extermination process…
Without taking in account that the Nazis hadn’t to collect the ashes
of the Jews, one of the purpose of a crematory incineration.

If we are told that the complete cremation involve not only the disperi-
tion of the flesh but also an esthetical concern (the ‘whitening of
the bones) than I could say that in ‘Les crematoires d’Auschwitz’
(J.C.Pressac) the photo of an oven in Buchenwald at the liberation show
very white bones with few ashes apart. In 1945, when there was critical
shortage of fuel. But anyway, the best I know, bones are always almost
white.

In Butz book, it is around march 1943 I think, I can verify later,
perhaps even January 1943. It was say by the Zionist leaders
in USA that ‘2 million Jews were killed’ and ‘4 million others are
planned to be killed’, and that there was an emergency to open Palestine
to jewish immigration to ‘save’ the Jews. The mythological figure
was announce 2 years before the end of the war in the N.Y. Times

Up to now, I have serious doubts about Goebbel’s Diary but no certanty.
For the Wannsee minutes, it is a typewritten document which is not signed
so I consider it as a forged document. I have several reasons but the best
I could see, some revisionnist consider it as genuine just because the bulk
of it speak about an evacuation policy. However, this famous paragraph at
the end is not a coincidence to me. It was impossible to forged hundreds of
thousands of letters, documents but relativelly easy to forge less documents
that could give a ‘key’ to decrypt all the others. In that case, the presence
of a paragraph that refer to the elimination of Jews in a ‘mix-terminology’
document is not surprising to me.

There you are wrong. The real issue is not the gas chambers, indeed, but
the existence or not of an extermination policy. However, if there was
no gas chambers, than there was no extermination policy. Without those
gas chambers, the Jews who were deported in Auschwitz, Treblinka and who
were not registered could just have vanish in the Eastern territories
as the German document described. My common sense tell me that if the
Nazis had liquidate those Jews in the Eastern territories in a systematic
way then the allied and especially the Russians would have accused the
Nazis of this crime for all the missing Jews rather than to have take
the huge risk to create this fishy story with gas chambers. There was
no extermination policy, and this make a big difference. If you differ
in your opinion on that point, than I can’t do anything for you.

I will not cry like you for the Jews who died during the war. Not because
I’m happy of that, but because we could fill oceans with the tears
that have been yet shed. Jews were not the only one who suffered.
40 millions persons died and the 2,5% of the casualties that I believe
has nothing to do with the main element of the war. What is extraordinary
is the political exploitation of the myths.

So without gas chambers there’s no difference? This is probably what
the pigs who support censorship will say when the myth will be overthrown.
No difference? why then is there jail sentence in Germany and other coun-
tries for the revisionnist? why so much intimidation, murder attempt,
careers broken, lobbying? Because the majority of the revisionnist are
far-rightist? It his the historical opinion on this matter that is submit
to censorship, not just the favorable opinions to a dictatorship.

I’ve rarely attack Jews here, but you can be sure that I won’t cry an
apologize for my revisionist opinion in my case. For me, Jews are not
exceptionnal. They have the same blood than me. I do not consider each Jew
as an incarnation of the devil, nor the state of Israel despite I dislike its
policy. The Holocaustmania is certanly however one of the major factor of deca-
dence in their culture. I know perfectly that the bulk of the Jews believes
sincerelly all the aspects of the Holocaust. Doesn’t mean that several of
them will not use it when it is convenient. I do suppose that they consider
themself as right to do so, because of their education, because a large
amount of persons do it around them. I can understand that several Jews
lied about their ennemies who persecuted them, who humiliated them. This
is not extraordinary. What is huge however is the way that Wiesenthal and
his goons, the ADL and some other organisations have lie systematically
in an organized way. Too much longer. I think that a part of the Jews
consider that the bulk of the Germans are not responsible for the Holocaust
while several other do consider that. Don’t know the proportion, perhaps
half and half. I do consider that it’s hard to reject the blame over all
the peoples when the hoax will be overthrown. But don’t tell me that ‘this
make no difference’, and that I have attend to a funny small hoax that
has little impact on our life. This is why revisionnism is fascinating to
me: I can check any newsgroup over hundreds and the Holocaust will be
one of the topic over the year. If you consider the chairmans of the ADL
can lie in your face over decades, sodomize you and tell you that you
are guilty of everything and use this guilt feeling to support their
political agenda and the US foreign policy, if you enjoy it, that’s your
problem.

Up to now, I have serious doubts about Goebbel’s Diary but no certanty.
For the Wannsee minutes, it is a typewritten document which is not signed
so I consider it as a forged document. I have several reasons but the best
I could see, some revisionnist consider it as genuine just because the bulk
of it speak about an evacuation policy. However, this famous paragraph at
the end is not a coincidence to me. It was impossible to forged hundreds of

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

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

Enrique Aynat made a deep inquiry with the review published
by the polish government in exile in London, the ‘Polish fighting
review’. It is similar stuff. Several stories about atrocities
against jews were put in circulation by this review ( the informations
were received in the same way that what was explained earlier, from
the A.K.) but Auschwitz appear just few times before 1945. But
there’s more: when it appear, it is not in connection with mass
gasing of jews. It is about case of torture, hard work, the
tough conditions of the inmates who have to work for the military
production. An example of that can be find in the 1 july 1942 article
(n0 47) where it is mention that the German use syringue to kill
prisonners of Bikernau. There’s a base of thruth: the method
was at least used for the uthanasy of prisonners who were affect by the
catastrophic typhus epidemy of 1942, but there’s no evidence that
it was use to liquidate them because of an extermination policy.
In several other articles during
2 years, very ‘low level’ details about some inmates who died
are given, and in a case it is say that few hundred russian
prisonners were gased at a specific date. What is astonishing here
is that over 2 years and a half, the systematic murder of hundreds
of thousands of jews seems to be ignored while the polish resistance
is suppose to be aware of a single gasing of russian pows at a time.
There is also a reference to the gasing of polish childrens at the end of
1943, despite today we never speak about the gasing of poles. But
among the huge amount of propaganda that was published over those
years, this is all. Before the mid 1944, the atrocities were generally
not concerning Auschwitz and when it was th case, the mass gasing
of jews was not mention. Ken McVay up to know have just bring one tele-
gram sent during the war from a spy (Schultz) who played a role in the
diffusion of propaganda. However, Schultz do not mention Auschwitz but
a project that was discuss to kill Jews with Zyklon B in Berlin (in
the future). The telegram was sent while the gasing operations had
allegedly start a while before and Schultz source is even not Auschwitz
inmates account but an obscure meeting of SS officers. With the huge
amount of propaganda and scrap that talk about electrocutions, vapor
chambers, etc… this is weak.

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

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

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

Several, a lot of contradictions exist in Vrba’s ‘memories’, Vrba as
many knows was obligated to admit that he lied on many things in the
cross -examination of 1988 (Zundel trial).
Let say just that when I read Vrba’s book, I saw that his escape
had a specific purpose: give a warn to the whole world about the fate
of the jews in Auschwitz, ‘breaking the secret’ in other words. One
have just to read the previous message to realize that it is ridicoulous.
Vrba could not have escape and be charge of such a mission simply because
hundreds of escapes occured before his alledge escape.
Despite the inconsistences in his testimony, Vrba’s credibility is
essantial. The defenders of the legend can conceed that an obscur
eye witness could have lie, but Vrba is a kind of detonnator, a domino:
since he talk about his entertainment with F. Muller at the camp, since
the key eyewitness Sonderkommando F. Muller said also that he spoke
with Vrba several times in Auschwitz, if one of the testimony is false,
the other collapse. If Vrba testimony is false, then one would have
to explain why the real authors of the WRB report never challendge
Vrba’s story. And then we would conclude that the WRB report wasn’t
writen by S.Kommandos but by higher rank propagandist who had a large
amount of datas available: this is where the story began.

I’ve recently retouch some parts of this postings which is a mix
of A.Butz, Enrique Aynat (half of my sources) and J.F. Beaulieu

First of all, the usual statement that the Germans have try to
keep the secret about their extermination policy is completelly
ridicoulous. This ‘attempt to preserve the secret’ is often use
to explain why the high level german documents captured by the
allieds are often refering to the ‘final solution’ as a program of
expulsion of the jews out of Europe.

The Auschwitz camp was built close to an important agglomeration.
Many civilians were working there during the day before to go back
home at the evening.
In ‘les crematoires d’Auschwitz’ (1993), the anti-revisionnist writer
J.C. Pressac who use germans documents write (p62):
“For the Bikernau crematories, the germans gaves the contracts to 12
civilians enterprises[…] Each working site was using between 100
and 150 peoples, 1/3 civilians.”
The number of ovens was growing with years with the expension of
the camp and the maintenance was unavoidable.
Auschwitz was critical for the allieds: Syntethic rubber production
was important for the americans, and it is not surprising that many
air photo missions concerning this camp took place.
The huge backwardness of the americans concerning the fabrication
of synthetic rubber after the lost of their usual source in Malaisia
in 1941-42 didn’t let them any choice: they had to know everything about
Auschwitz, and there’s no doubt that they took mesures to pick-up
as much information as possible.
We know, btw, that the americans broke the cryptology code that the
germans used in their communications. Over 2 years 1/2, no mention
of mass gasing was intercept despite the germans were ignoring that
their cryptology method was discovered.

But there’s more: the english historian Laqueurt in ‘the terrible secret’
gaves some hint despite he’s not revisionnist:
We learn, around page 25, that Auschwitz was an archipello, that
thousands of inmates were frequently shipped to annex camps,
mixed with civilians across Silesia, that hundreds of civiliasn were
working at Auschwitz 1, that journalist were travelling freely in
this region…
It is the same author who say that that there was hundreds of liberations
in 1942-43-44, among several jews ( page 169). But also hundreds of
escapes over those years! This thing can be found also in the ‘Chronicle’
from Danuta Czech.

The jewish writter Reitlinger , in ‘the final solution’, talk also
of an emettor-receiver that was in activity in the inmate barracks
over months.
The amiral Canaris, chief of the conter-spying agency of the third reich
was a double agent. He gaves many informations to the allied countries
during the war, but nothing about mass liquidation at Auschwitz was
transmited.

There was an organize resistance in nazi camps. Groups of communist,
jews or others were able to send information to their fellows
outside the camp. By the way, one could give an accurate picture
of the power of such movement of resistance by reading ‘Fighting
Auschwitz’, J. Garlinski. This is not a revisionnist book.

As I said, it was impossible for the germans to avoid some contacts
between the inmates and the local population. Many polish
were, indeed, members of the resistance and some inmates had
conversation with local populations when they were bring out of
Auschwitz to execute misclellaneous labour tasks. Sometimes those
civilians were hidding food and parcels somewhere before the inmates
came to pick up those ones.
Often, the SS in charge of the commandos were faking ignorance about
those things in exchange of food or gifts. (J. Garlinski, Fighting
Auschwitz, p 43-45).
The contacts with the local population were develloped in such a way
that letters and parcels could be send off the camp by the internal
resistant ceils of Bikernau and Auschwitz on a regular basis. A group
of the Cracovia resistance was regulary inform via letters. In this
town were preserved 350 of those letters, ‘a small fraction of a very
much more important total’ (H. Langbein, ‘Hommes et femmes a Auschwitz’,
p.252).
Letters succesfully reached Netherland also. In spite of that, those
records are unusable to backup the extermination claim. As Butz pointed
out, quoting L. Dawidowicz in her introductory chapter (p221):

“One impedment was inadequacy of Jewish documentation despite its enor-
mous quantity… The absence of vital subjects from the records may be
explained by the predicament of terror and censorship; yet, lacking
evidence to corroborate or disprove, the historian will never know with
certanty wether that absence is a consequence of an institutional deci-
sion not to deal with such matters or wether it was merely a consequence
of prudential policy not to mention such matters. The terror was so great
that even in private personal diaries, composed in Yiddish or Hebrew,
were written circumspectly, with recourse to Scripture and the Talmud
as a form of esoteric expression and self-imposed reticence.”

Garlinski mention also this story about the emettor receiver which was
in activity over 7 months in 1942 in Auschwitz and due to its contacts,
the direction of the Silesia local AK ceil (Armia Krajowa) was soon able
to find the wavelenght used by the emettor.
(J. Garlinski, Fighting Auschwitz p 126)

The Armia Krajowa, or the interior (or secret ) army was formed in
1942 from a previous resistance movement. It was organised like a real
army. In 1944 the AK could count on about 300,000 members.
In Bikernau there was a secret organisation created in april 1942 by
colonel Karcz. The contacts between the Bikernau organisation and the main
camp of Auscwitz were taking place on a daily bases. The main task of Karcz
group wat to provide informations to the Ak elements outside.
In 1942 the organisation of W. Pilecki, an ex polish officer, could
count on 1000 members between Auschwitz and Bikernau (Fighting Auschwitz,
J. Garlinski,p 97-98).
In 1942-43 the resistant groups in Auschwitz were so powerfull that they
were contolling the Hospital, the kitchens, the main office and they
had their agent in key positions.

The activity of the resistance in the camp had a specific purpose:
feed the Polish government in exile with exhaustive informations about
the events that were occuring in the nazis camps.
The A.K could count also on the complicity of few SS to transmit some
messages outside ( Fighting Auschwitz, p 206-208). But often, messages
were simply transmitted with the liberation of inmates ( W. Laqueurt,
the terrible secret, p 169, Fighting Auschwitz, p 54-55, 112).

Communications between Poland and London were relativelly easy for the
resistance. The general Bor-Komorowski, commendant of the AK, said that
clandestine radio messages were regularelly transmitted to London and
that for the year 1942-43-44, there was almost 300 of those messages per
month. (T. Bor-Komorowski, ‘The secret Army’, p. 150). An other part of
the stuff was microfilm and send in London on a montly base. The polish
resistance had about 100 radio emettors wich were able to reach England.
But other messages were brought by newsmongers who were travelling to
Sweeden ( neutral) and then Great Britain.

Recently I got a copy of one of the most notorious revisionnist
booklet: ‘The Auschwitz lunge’, Thie Christophersen. Christophersen is
an ex German officer who had work in one of the peripherical camp
around Auschwitz: Raisenko. This booklet is not notorious not because one
could qualify it as a big scientific contribution to revisionnism,
it’s just a small booklet where an officer talk about his personnel
experiences there (he visited Bikernau severel times in 1944).

The notoriety of this booklet,publish in 1973, is mainly due to a
false reference that can be found: a fictive red cross report that is
suppose to claim that no more than 200,000 jews died in WWII.
Because of that, the Auschwitz lunge received immediatelly the status
of ‘bible of the revisionnist’, and it’s still frequent to see in
European books or magazine an unavoidable reference to that booklet
and this fictive reference with the devellopment (sous-entendus): this
is the bible of the revisionnist, it contain a lie, so the revisionnist
are just liars and it is a good think that revisionnist material is
banned since the public must be protect against those lies by peoples
who will tell them what they must read.
What amazed me the first time I took a look at it wasn’t the fact that
this false reference was just an isolated one among several otheres
that were valid, it was to see that Christophersen didn’t invent it:
he just quote a real brasilian newspaper that didn’t check before to
publish this mention about the ‘red cross report’. Anyway.
From the tale of Christophersen, we know that SS families were able to
visit the soldiers without any major problems in Auschwitz. We
learn also that the inmates fron Bikernau were frequently shipped in
other camps and could establish contact with the local population.
This fact, as I said, was confirmed by the anti-revisionnist historian
Laqueurt later.

Now, first statement: Hoess, in his ‘confession’, supposelly given
withous any cohercition, testified that when Himmler order him to
establish a programm of mass extermination in his camp ( a verbal order
to keep the secret) he received also instruction to not talk about
it to Gluecks, general inspector of the camps, because the absolute
secret was necessary. Can you believe it?
