The Chemistry of Auschwitz

Text Version 1.5.

A web-version of this article resides at:

http://www.holocaust-history.org/auschwitz/chemistry/

This article is dedicated to a chemist, Primo Levi.

Abstract: Holocaust deniers base some of their arguments on the
public’s ignorance of history and science. Accurate information, not
censorship, is the best antidote to their claims. 1.1 to 1.5 million
people, most of them Jews, were murdered at the Auschwitz-Birkenau
camps. The predominant weapon of mass murder was Zyklon B, hydrogen
cyanide in a solid support. Early forensic analysis, shortly after
World War II supports this fact. Several pseudo-scientific reports,
most notably by Leuchter, Lu”ftl, and Rudolf have attempted to shed
doubt on the facts. A forensic analysis by the Institute for Forensic
Research in Cracow confirms the presence of cyanide in the buildings
said to have been exposed to it. The arguments made by deniers are
distortions of fact. The deniers misrepresent the statistics of the
dead, and misinterpret air photo evidence. The properties of hydrogen
cyanide from Zyklon B are consistent with its use as an agent of mass
murder. The fact that Prussian blue is prevalent in delousing
facilities but not in homicidal chambers is not evidence that no
gassings occurred. It is easier to tell a lie than to prove a lie to
be incorrect; nevertheless, accurate information and not censorship is
the best response.

I. Introduction

Holocaust denial, known in Germany as the Auschwitz lie, has been
gaining exposure in recent times, in part perhaps, because of the
growth of the Internet. Deborah Lipstadt in her thought-provoking book
_Denying the Holocaust_ argues persuasively that the existence of the
Holocaust is not a matter for debate: there is nothing to debate; it is
a historical fact. [1] In principle, I agree with her. The
pseudoscience of the deniers, however, has become so widespread,
particularly on the Internet that I do not think their material can be
left unanswered.

I strongly disagree with censorship. Whereas I agree that no
particular publisher, newspaper, or Internet provider is under any
obligation to publish the distasteful and false propaganda of the
deniers, I do not agree with government intervention to shut down sites
that choose to peddle such untruths. Rather, I believe such material
must be met head on with accurate information lest the gullible be
taken in. This essay is an attempt to provide such information
concerning some of the most persistent deceptions of the deniers as
well as to explain to the reader some of the context of those
deceptions.

Central to the claims of the deniers is the claim that the Nazis, the
SS and their accomplices did not commit mass murder with poison gas at
Auschwitz. One of the major methods used by the deniers is to play on
the public’s ignorance of chemistry as well as its ignorance of the
methods of mass murder employed at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

II. A Brief Description of Auschwitz.

Auschwitz was more than a camp; in fact it was a vast complex
consisting of more than 40 satellite camps: it was a prison camp, a
labor camp, an industrial center and a death camp. [2] The complex
included the I.G. Farben Buna rubber plant, the Monowitz camp where Primo
Levi was held [3], the main Auschwitz camp (Auschwitz I) and the
Birkenau (Auschwitz II) extermination camp, three kilometers Northwest
of the main camp[4], where the majority of mass murders by poison gas
took place.

In a recent estimate of the victims of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death
camps, Franciszek Piper estimates that at least 1.3 million people
were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau among whom 1.1 million were Jews.
He estimates that of these 1.3 million at least 1.1 million were killed
or died. Piper estimates a maximum of 1.5 million dead including 1.35
million Jews.[5]

It is a fact that an early Soviet estimate placed the victims of
Auschwitz-Birkenau at 4 million and that the communist regime in Poland
adhered to this number long after it was known to be untrue. It is a
favorite tactic of deniers to claim that the untruth of this number
should somehow affect estimates of the total number of Jews killed in
the Final Solution. This claim is invalid.[6] With a few notable
exceptions[7], historians did not take the 4 million number seriously.
Additionally, estimates for the number of dead were generally made by
the overall European demographics and therefore would not depend on an
error in a single camp even if it were made. Both of these points are
demonstrated by the conservative estimates of Raul Hilberg who
estimates that 1 million Jews were killed in Auschwitz-Birkenau and
that 5.1 million Jews were killed in all. Hilberg first made his
estimate in 1961 and reaffirmed it in 1985 with the revised and
definitive edition of his seminal work, _The Destruction of the
European Jews_.[8]

Murder by poison gas took place at several installations in Auschwitz
Birkenau:

On 3 September 1941 a trial gassing was conducted in block 11 [of
Auschwitz I]. Later, one room of the base-camp crematorium was
equipped as a gas chamber [Krema I in Auschwitz I]. After these
trials, in 1942, two abandoned thatch-roofed cottages in a wood at
Birkenau were transformed into gas chambers; they were known as
“the bunkers.” In the spring of 1943 construction of four modern
crematoria [Kremas II-V] was completed on the site of Birkenau
itself. Each was divided into three parts: a section for the
crematory ovens, a place for prospective victims to undress, and a
gas chamber. The bunkers were no longer used except in
emergencies.[9]

III. Zyklon B: A Pesticide and an Agent of Homicide.

Raul Hilberg states:

TESTA sold Zyklon in different concentrations. Invoices presented
to municipal or industrial clients for fumigation of buildings
were printed with columns headed C, D, E, and F, each denoting a
category of potency and price. As explained in a letter to
Osland, strength E was required for the eradication of specially
resistant vermin, such as cockroaches, or for gassings in wooden
barracks. The “normal” preparation D was used to exterminate
lice, mice, or rats in large, well-built structures containing
furniture. Human organisms in gas chambers were killed with
Zyklon B.

Hilberg notes in a footnote that the same preparation was used for the
delousing of clothes.[10]

The agent of mass gassing at Auschwitz-Birkenau was Zyklon-B, hydrogen
cyanide (HCN), and a warning agent impregnated into a solid support.
According to Kogon the solid support was diatomite and the appearance
of Zyklon-B was of gray-blue pellets.[11] In the instructions for
the use of Zyklon B, published by its manufacturer, Degesch, three
possible solid supports are mentioned: “Wood fibre discs, a reddish
brown granular mass (diagriess –Dia gravel) or small blue cubes (Erco)
are used as carriers.”[12]

There are also patents for a porous support, a felt support, a
Diagriess support, and an ERCO support.[13] Silica Gel has also been
mentioned as a possibility notwithstanding the patent’s declaration
that such a support would be unsuitable.[14]

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), also known as hydrocyanic acid, prussic acid or
_Blausa”ure_ was the toxic agent in Zyklon B. Strictly speaking, the
term hydrogen cyanide should be used for the pure compound and the term
hydrocyanic acid reserved for its aqueous solutions, but this
convention has been ignored so much that it is pointless to insist upon
it. HCN is a high vapor pressure liquid; the Merck index lists its
boiling point as 25.6 degrees Celsius (78.8 degrees Fahrenheit),
significantly less than human body temperature.[15] At room
temperature (25 d C, 77 d F) the equilibrium vapor pressure of HCN is
750 Torr (760 Torr= 1 atmosphere), corresponding to 987,000 ppm. At 0
C (32 F) it is 260 Torr corresponding to 342,000 ppm.[16] The Merck
index warns, “Exposure to 150 ppm for 1/2 to 1 hr may endanger life.
Death may result from a few min exposure to 300 ppm”[17] Clearly, it
is not necessary to reach equilibrium vapor pressure in order for the
fumes of the liquid to be quite deadly.

HCN is explosive at 6% (60,000 ppm.);[18] it is not necessary
to reach such concentrations in order to murder. In its pure state,
HCN is very dangerous to transport or to store; the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) states:

Polymerization: Can occur violently in the presence of heat, alkaline
materials, or moisture. Once initiated, polymerization becomes
uncontrollable since the reaction is autocatalytic, produce heat and
alkalinity (NH3). Confined polymerization can cause a violent
explosion. HCN is stabilized with small amounts of acid to prevent
polymerization. HCN should not be stored for extended periods unless
routine testing confirms product quality.[19]

HCN kills by binding cytochromes, enzymes important in respiration at
the cellular level, and preventing them from functioning properly.[20]
HCN has a slight odor that has been described as being like almonds.
The odor, however, is very difficult to detect and requires training.
Zyklon B, accordingly, contained irritants to warn of the presence of
HCN. The irritants were designed so that one irritant would be present
sooner than the HCN and that another would linger around later.[21]

Zyklon B at Auschwitz-Birkenau was used mainly for two purposes,
delousing and murder. The eyewitness testimony to murder by poison is
overwhelming.[22] Pressac reconstructs a gassing that took place March
13, 1943:

That same night, 1,492 women, children, and old people,
selected from a convoy of 2,000 Jews from the Krakow ghetto, were
killed in the new crematorium. Six kilos of Zyklon B were poured
into the stacks that opened into the four grillework columns implanted
between the pillars that supported the ceiling. Within five minutes,
all the victims had succumbed. The aeration (8,000 cu m an hour) and
deaeration system (same strength) were then started up and, after 15 to
20 minutes, the atmosphere, which had been practically renewed every
three to four minutes, was sufficiently pure so that members of the
Sonderkommando could enter the stiflingly hot gas chamber. During this
first gassing [in the new Krema II gas chamber], the Sonderkommandos
wore gas masks as a precaution. The bodies were untangled and dragged
to the goods elevator. Hair was clipped, gold teeth pulled out, wedding
rings and jewels removed.[23]

IV. History of Forensic Reports

>From shortly after the war to the present there have been a number of
forensic analyses conducted on facilities at Auschwitz-Birkenau
including legitimate investigations as well as those conducted by
Holocaust deniers. This section will give a brief history of those
reports. Section V. will address in more detail the chemistry
involved. In 1945 the Cracow Forensic Institute did a forensic
analysis of the criminal traces left by the murderers. Pressac
summarizes some of their findings:

Toxicological analysis were carried out in 1945 by the Cracow Forensic
Institute (7 Copernicus street) on 4 complete plates and 2 damaged
ventilation orifices found in the ruins of Krematorium II. After
scraping the white substance that covered these objects back to the
metal, 7.2 grammes of scrapings were collected and subjected to two
_qualitative_ analysis, which established the presence of cyanide
compounds. The report, signed by Dr. Jan Z. Robel, was written on 15th
December, 1945 and transmitted to the Examining Judge, Jan Sehn.[24]

Strzelecki describes other early forensic examinations including the
following:

In 1945, an examination by the Institute of Judicial Expertise in
Krakow of a sample of hair found in Auschwitz revealed the presence of
compounds of prussic acid, the basic component of Zyklon B gas used in
the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Traces of the acid were also found in
metal objects found in the hair, such as pins, clasps, and gold-plated
spectacle holders.[25]

In 1988, Holocaust denier, Ernst Zundel, was preparing for his defense
in Toronto. With the help of Holocaust denier Faurisson and soon-to-be
Holocaust denier David Irving he procured the services of a self-styled
“engineer,” Fred A. Leuchter for the price of $35,000.[26] Lipstadt
states:

The group spent three days in Auschwitz-Birkenau and one in Majdanek
surreptitiously and illegally collecting bricks and cement fragments-
Leuchter called them “forensic samples” -from a number of buildings,
including those associated with the killing process. On returning to
Massachusetts, Leuchter had the samples chemically analyzed. (He told
the laboratory that the samples had to with a worker’s compensation
case.) He summarized his findings in _The Leuchter Report: An
Engineering Report on the Alleged Execution Chambers at Auschwitz,
Birkenau, and Majdanek Poland_, which was published by Zundel’s
Samisdat Publications and David Irving’s publishing house, Focal Point
Publications in London.[27]

Lipstadt adds a footnote that states in part:

The London edition was entitled _Auschwitz:The End of the Line: The
Leuchter Report-The First Forensic Examination of Auschwitz_[28].

The title itself is, of course, an untruth; the first forensic
examinations were done in 1945 as mentioned above.. For the purposes of
this article I will refer to Leuchter’s report as _the Leuchter Report_.
As the Leuchter Report is one of the founding documents for the
pseudoscientific claim of Holocaust deniers, it is worth checking on
whether Leuchter represented his expertise as an engineer correctly.
In fact, in 1991, he himself admitted otherwise:

Leuchter, 48, of suburban Malden, was to face trial later this month on
charges of practicing engineering without a license, a violation of
Massachusetts law. But on June 11, he signed a consent agreement with
the board that licenses engineers.

In it, Leuchter acknowledged that, “I am not and have never been
registered as a professional engineer” and that he nevertheless had
represented himself as an engineer in dealings with various states that
use the death penalty and to which he supplied equipment or advice.[29]

More evidence of Leuchter’s lack of expertise is collected in one place
at the Nizkor web site.[30] In a document available on the Zundel
website, Leuchter summarizes his findings on the gas chambers:

The results published in the Leuchter Report are the important thing.
Categorically, none of the facilities examined at Auschwitz, Birkenau
or Lublin could have supported, or in fact did support, multiple
executions utilizing hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide or any other
allegedly or factually lethal gas. Based upon very generous maximum
usage rates for all the alleged gas chambers, totalling 1,693 persons
per week, and assuming these facilities could support gas executions,
it would have required sixty-eight (68) years to execute the alleged
number of six millions of persons. This must mean the Third Reich was
in existence for some seventy-five (75) years. Promoting these
facilities as being capable of effecting mass, multiple or even
singular executions is both ludicrous and insulting to every individual
on this planet. Further, those who do promote this mistruth are
negligent and irresponsible for not investigating these facilities
earlier and ascertaining the truth before indoctrinating the world with
what may have become the greatest propaganda ploy in history.[31]

The obviously specious reasoning here is typical of Leuchter’s style.
No one has claimed that six million people were killed at
Auschwitz-Birkenau. The number is closer to one million. His rate of
“1,693 persons per week” is arbitrary. Notice how accurately he states
the precision of that number. As far as Leuchter’s estimate of the
killing rate goes, one need only refer to the passage form Pressac
quoted above in which almost 1,500 were killed in half an hour.
Ironically enough, it is by estimating the throughput of the gas
chambers that the Soviets arrived at the erroneous figure of 4 million
killed.[32] Leuchter’s estimate is discussed in more detail below.

Leuchter also summarizes the results of his forensic tests:

Forensic samples were taken from the visited sites. A control sample
was removed from delousing facility 1 at Birkenau. It was postulated
that because of the high iron content of the building materials at
these camps the presence of hydrogen cyanide gas would result in a
ferric-ferro-cyanide compound being formed, as evidenced by the
Prussian blue staining on the walls in the delousing facilities.

A detailed analysis of the thirty-two samples taken at the
Auschwitz-Birkenau complexes showed 1,050 mg/kg of cyanide and 6,170
mg/kg of iron. Higher iron results were found at all of the alleged gas
chambers but no significant cyanide traces. This would be impossible if
these sites were exposed to hydrogen cyanide gas, because the alleged
gas chambers supposedly were exposed to much greater quantities of gas
than the delousing facility. Thus, chemical analysis supports the fact
that these facilities were never utilized as gas execution
facilities.[33]

Leuchter’s primary mistake is his initial assumption that exposure to
HCN must result in the formation of Prussian blue.[34] Another error is
his claim that that the delousing facilities were exposed to less HCN
than the homicidal chambers. It turns out that it is more difficult to
kill lice than it is to kill humans. Leuchter’s sensitivity is not good
and it is doubtful that his samples were chosen carefully in regard to
being sheltered from the elements. Concentration of cyanide in the gas
chambers are at levels less than 1 mg/kg.[35] Additionally, Leuchter
should have taken as his control an ordinary building at Auschwitz-Birkenau,
such as a barracks. Do the homicidal gas chambers contain more cyanide
compounds than an ordinary barracks? The answer is yes as discussed below.
A later investigator, Germar Rudolf[36] has made many of these same
mistakes albeit more carefully; these issues are discussed in more depth in
section V. A point for point refutation of the arguments in the Leuchter
Report can be found on the Nizkor website.[37]

Another report that deserves mention is the Lu”ftl Report even though
it is not strictly speaking a forensic report. The author of the
report, a real engineer, Walter Lu”ftl, makes arguments concerning the
supposed physical impossibility of using Zyklon B to murder. He
conducts a largely irrelevant simulation concerning the ability of
humans to heat a gas chamber and attempts to deceive the reader with
the claim that the figure of six million Jews murdered should be
lowered to 3.5 million with the recognition that 4 million were not
murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. I have already discussed the basis of
this fallacy above but further information may be found in an article
on the Nizkor site.[38]

An English version of the Lu”ftl Report was published by a journal
specializing in Holocaust denial, _The Journal of Historical Review_
without the permission of the author, ostensibly to protect him from
prosecution in Austria.[39] Sarah Rembiszewski writes that Lu”ftl was

president of the Austrian Engineers’ and Architects’ Association,
which [sic?] conducted a “study,” disseminated today through the
Internet, “proving” that the Holocaust could not have happened. Lu”ftl
conducted his study at the request of a German lawyer and published his
conclusions in the Viennese paper _Die Presse_ under the title
“Holocaust – Belief and Facts.” He was forced to resign from his
position in the Engineers’ and Architects Association; _Su”ddeutsche
Zeitung_, March 15, 1992.[40]

I will now turn to discussing the background of a report of someone I
consider to be one of the more clever and therefore more dangerous of
the Holocaust deniers, Germar Rudolf. Rudolf was a graduate student in
chemistry working at the prestigious Max Planck Institute (MPI). Owing
to the fact that he actually has some understanding of chemistry many
of his deceptions are more sophisticated than other Holocaust deniers.
Nonchemists should be somewhat careful in addressing his arguments.
Ultimately, he engages in the same deceptions and specious arguments as
Leuchter and Lu”ftl, but the case he makes for those deceptions and
arguments involve more difficult chemistry. Below, I will address in
more detail why the chemical arguments of the deniers regarding the use
of Zyklon B in Auschwitz-Birkenau are not valid, but first I will
discuss some of the history of the Rudolf Report as I have done for the
Leuchter and Lu”ftl Reports.

The story of the Rudolf Report begins with Otto Remer. Remer was a
general during the Nazi regime and put down the attempted coup against
Hitler in 1944.[41] Remer was a Holocaust denier and was on trial in
Germany for inciting race hatred.[42] Remer’s lawyer Hajo Hermann
commissioned Rudolf to write the Rudolf Report.[43] Just as Leuchter
had done before him, Rudolf collected samples from gas chambers as well
as delousing facilities:

He traveled to Auschwitz in summer 1991, and took samples from the
walls of one of the gas chambers and one of the delousing chambers.
Using Max Planck stationary, he sent the samples to an analytical
laboratory in Taunusstein, the Fresenius Institute.[44]

Rudolf had an understanding with Remer that his report was only to be
used in the court case. The report was never used in that case, but
Remer began distributing the report claiming “it had the support of
the Max Planck Society.”[45] Subsequently, Rudolf found his own
publisher. In June 1993, Rudolf was forced to leave MPI for improperly
using its name.[46] In a March 1994 legal settlement Rudolf’s
dismissal was reworded as an “ending of the contract through mutual
agreement.”[47] A statement from MPI on the affair is available on the
Nizkor web site.[48] Rudolf’s legal troubles were far from over.
Gerald Fleming writes in the foreword to Sarah Rembiszewski’s work:

On June 23, 1995, following a seven months’ trial, the Superior-Lomt
(Landgericht) in Stuttgart sentenced Germar Scheerer to fourteen months
imprisonment for spreading premeditated, offensive, mendacious and
racist propaganda. The accused is now reportedly a fugitive from
justice.[49]

Rembiszewski explains that Rudolf changed his name to Scheerer after he
got married in 1994.[50] If this name change were the only one that
Rudolf used, it would be understandable. Sheerer is not the only
alternate name Rudolf uses. In many of his reports he cites the
papers of “Dr. Ernst Gauss” as an expert on chemistry. It came to light
during Rudolf’s 1994 trial that “Dr. Gauss” was a graduate student
whose PhD. thesis was never accepted. That graduate student is named
Germar Rudolf.[51]

I do not believe that Rudolf’s offense would be criminal in the United
States of America where citizens enjoy the protection of the First
Amendment (a protection that would be lost were people like Rudolf and
his hero Remer ever to come to power here). Not only do I disagree
with such criminal prosecution on principle, but I think that it is
counterproductive in that it gives people like Rudolf the ability to
claim persecution. My task here, however, is to discuss the history of
claims concerning the chemistry of Auschwitz-Birkenau and evaluate
their validity. The fact that I think that people ought to be
permitted to spread untruths does not make untruths into truths.

Next I will turn to what I will refer to as the IFRC Report, a paper by
Jan Markiewicz, Wojciech Gubala, and Jerzy Labadz of the Institute of
Forensic Research, Cracow (IFRC).[52] In 1989, these researchers
entered into discussions with the management of the Auschwitz-Birkenau
museum about the possibility of detecting evidence of exposure to
cyanides in the gas chambers; they were skeptical about the
possibilities of such detection, but made the attempt anyway in 1990 in
a preliminary study of 10 samples and 2 control samples. They were
able to confirm the presence of cyanide in Krema II but nowhere else in
this preliminary investigation. The results from their control samples
were negative indicating that their results were meaningful.[53]

After learning of the Leuchter Report, these authors decided to make a
more extensive study.

Samples, about 1-2 g in weight, were taken by chipping pieces from
bricks and concrete or scraping off [sic], particularly in the case of
plaster and also mortar. The materials taken were secured in
plastic containers marked with serial numbers. All these activities
were recorded and documented with photographs. Work connected with
them took the commission two days. The laboratory analysis of material
collected was conducted- to ensure full objectivity -by another group
of Institute workers.[54]

The samples underwent qualitative analysis by means of a
spectrophotometer. Cyanides were found in many of the samples, but
this method was not suitable for quantitative analysis.[55]

A significant concern in choosing a method for quantitative analysis is
the presence of blue-staining in the delousing chambers, that is not
obviously present in the homicidal gas chambers. I have written a
brief article available on the world-wide web that discusses the
chemistry of this staining and its relevance to forensic analysis.[56]
The important points of this chemistry are discussed in section V. of
the current article. For reasons discussed below, the IFRC workers
chose a method of detecting cyanides that discriminates against the
compounds that form this staining, the iron blues. Additionally, they
used a calibrated method:

The calibration curve was constructed previously and standards were
introduced into each series of determinations to check the curve and
the course of the determination.[57]

The IFRC researchers found significant levels of cyanide in bunker 11,
all five Kremas, as well as a facility used to fumigate prisoners’
clothing. In contrast, no cyanides were found in dwelling facilities
that were “probably fumigated with Zyklon B only once (in connection
with typhoid epidemic in 1942).” They summarize their findings as
follows:

The results of analyses are presented in Tables I-IV. They
unequivocally show that the cyanide compounds occur in all the
facilities that, according to the source data, were in contact with
them. On the other hand, they do not occur in dwelling accommodations,
which was shown by means of control samples.[58]

V. A Critique of the Forensic Reports

This section will examine the validity of claims made by the deniers as
well as further elucidating the significance of the findings of the
IFRC researchers. Some of the claims made in the reports of the
deniers are not directly relevant to the chemistry of Auschwitz-
Birkenau. Nevertheless, a few of these arguments are so pervasive and
so easily exposed as specious that they merit a brief discussion. The
claims that do involve the chemistry of Auschwitz-Birkenau are divided
into two categories: 1) claims of the impossibility of gassing, 2)
claims that chemical analyses of forensic samples prove that no
gassings could have taken place. For the most part, I will not address
claims involving other camps at this time; I will also not address
claims concerning the cremation furnaces and the cremation in ditches.
These issues deserve a more complete treatment on their own.

The deniers like to play the numbers game. They state that it is
impossible for 6 million people to have been killed in gas chambers at
Auschwitz-Birkenau. They are quite right the death toll at Auschwitz
is closer to 1 million. The others murdered in the Final Solution were
killed in other camps, ghettos, as a result of the _Einsatzgruppen_
mobile killing squads, by death marches and other means.[59]

Nevertheless, Leuchter underestimates the capacity of
Auschwitz-Birkenau. Leuchter’s assumptions about the capacity for
murder of the gas chambers assume

that the people could occupy the gas chambers at a density of maximum 1
person per 9 square feet (!!) and that it would take a week (!!) to
ventilate the gas chambers before they could be used for another mass
execution. These assumptions are absurd.[60]

Deniers also like to take credit for debunking the incorrect claims of
the Soviets that 4 million were killed at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Unfortunately for them, it was the respectable historians who provided
the evidence for more accurate numbers. They also make the false claim
that this change in the death toll of Auschwitz-Birkenau should
drastically reduce the death toll of the final solution. This argument
has been thoroughly discredited elsewhere.[61]

Another claim is to echo Faurisson’s notorious statement, “No vents, no
holocaust.” Air photos are supposed to show that vents in Krema II
that were used, according to eyewitness testimony, to introduce Zyklon
B in the gas chamber. Michael Shermer, editor of Skeptic Magazine,
writes:

Thanks to Dr. Nevin Bryant, supervisor of cartographic applications and
image processing applications at Caltech/NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, California, I was able to get the CIA
photographs properly analyzed by people who know what they are looking
at from the air. Nevin and I analyzed the photographs using digital
enhancement techniques not available to the CIA in 1979. We were able
to prove that the photographs had not been tampered with, and we indeed
found evidence of extermination activity.[62]

Shermer reproduces a 1944 aerial photo of Krema II (figure 23) and a
1942 picture taken from the ground (figure 24).

The aerial photograph in figure 23 shows the distinctive features of
Krema II. Note the long shadow from the crematorium chimney and, on the
roof of the adjacent gas chamber at right angles to the crematorium
building, note the four staggered shadows. [Holocaust denier, John C.]
Ball claims these shadows were drawn in, but four small structures that
match the shadows are visible on the roof of the gas chamber in figure
24, a picture taken by an SS photographer of the back of Krema
II…[63]

John Ball, at least, seems to be aware that his claims do not stand
up. He offered on his web page a $100,000 for anyone who could get
three air photo experts to disagree with the accuracy of his claims.
When John Morris inquired about accepting Ball’s offer, Ball did not
respond even though Morris made every effort to communicate his
interest. Details are available on the Nizkor website.[64]

The primary claims made by the deniers concerning the supposed
impossibility of gassing with Zyklon B center on the rate of
evaporation of HCN from Zyklon B. It evaporates too slowly, they
claim, so that either it will not kill as fast as is claimed, or
alternatively it will be too dangerous to the operators of the gas
chambers. Lu”ftl writes:

Hydrocyanic acid vapors are not released immediately after the cans are
opened. The evaporation of Zyklon B requires as many as 32 hours or as
few as six hours, depending on whether the ambient temperature ranges
from five to 30 degrees Celsius. The evaporation rate is not exactly
proportional to time.[65]

Jamie McCarthy has addressed this claim:

[Lu”ftl] ripped those figures from their context and cited them
dishonestly. The “six to 32 hours” figure comes from the Degesch
manual, but it refers _only_ to the total exposure time required for
lice. Since the metabolism of lice, like all cold-blooded creatures,
is much slower at 5 C than at 30 C, the exposure time is necessarily
longer.[66]

In other words, Lu”ftl is mixing apples and oranges. The times he
quotes have nothing to do with the release time from Zyklon B. They
have to do with the necessary fumigation times to kill lice. In answer
to a criticism of the Leuchter Report that human body heat would be
sufficient to raise the temperature to the “temperature of evaporation”
of HCN Lu”ftl responds:

Like so many Holocaust writers, Auerbach is mistaken. An experiment
was carried out by this writer to simulate the heating of a chamber
by human beings…

The chamber took an hour to heat using an 1.8 Kw electric convection
heater, after which the room was “ventilated” for 30 minutes…

Even [in a room] with people “tightly packed crushed together,” an air
temperature in excess of 30-32 degrees Celsius would not be attained.
In addition, the gassings are supposed to have taken place quickly and
on a quasi- industrial basis.[67]

This simulation would be a comedy of errors were it not in the service
of denying a tragedy of barely imaginable proportions. First of all,
1.8 kW is roughly equivalent to the heat output of 18 people, far fewer
than would have been in the 5.43 square meters of floor space in the
simulation. Secondly, and more importantly, it is not at all necessary
to come near (or over!) the boiling point of HCN for it to evaporate
rapidly. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its
equilibrium vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere.
Below the boiling point the vapor pressure of a liquid can be quite
large. HCN has an extremely high vapor pressure even at very cold
temperatures. Anyone who doubts this fact should obtain some diethyl
ether, open a small amount, and observe it evaporating. Ether boils at
34.6 Celsius; in other words its boiling point is greater than HCN.[68]

This discussion is worthwhile because it shows how the deniers play on
the public’s relative ignorance on such technical details. The
argument, however, is moot because Gerhard Peters, who was the general
director of Degesch, the company that sold Zyklon B has written a book
on the topic, in which he gives the evaporation times of Zyklon B.[69]
Ulrich Roessler translates:

The development of the gas from the Zyklon sets in with great
vehemence immediately following the pouring out of it. The thinner
the layer of the disseminated support material the faster will be the
development of the gas. Depending on the species of the pests to be
controlled, and on the characteristic of the rooms to be gassed, one
may choose to reach the maximum of the gas concentration to arise very
quickly or more slowly by the thickness of the disseminated layer.
Usually, the material will be disseminated in a layer of 1/2 to 1cm
thickness, then the greatest part of the HCN will have developed
already after half an hour at normal temperature. [i.e. 20 degree
C].[70]

Roessler comments further:

Now, _der gr”o”ste Teil der Blaus”aure_ is by no means only 50% -it
means rather NEARLY ALL of the HCN. [71]

Even at -10 C Peters states that the evaporation is essentially
complete in 1 hour with an upper bound for complete evaporation of 2
hours.[72]

These facts should not be taken to mean that gassing with Zyklon B was
100% safe. Kremas II and III were equipped with ventilation systems;
the gas chambers in Kremas IV and V were built above ground to allow
natural ventilation. Pressac in the quote near the beginning of this
article states:

the Sonderkommandos wore gas masks as a precaution. [73]

If the Nazis and their accomplices were smart enough to handle the
hazards of Zyklon B for delousing purposes, it is reasonable to suppose
that they were smart enough to handle those hazards when committing
murder. In Nizkor’s Leuchter FAQ another spurious objection is
answered swiftly and accurately:

2.09 If the gas chambers were ventilated, the gas would kill people
outside.

Nonsense; it is all a question of concentration. Once the gas is
released into the atmosphere, its concentration drops and it is no
longer dangerous. Also, HCN dissipates quickly. The execution gas
chambers in US prisons are also ventilated directly into the
atmosphere. Furthermore, if this argument would hold for the
extermination chambers, it would hold for the delousing chambers as
well, and one would have to conclude that no delousing chambers existed
either.[74]

Another claim is refuted merely by reference to the Merck Index. In
order to be explosive HCN requires a concentration of 6% (60,000
ppm).[75] There is simply no reason to add enough Zyklon B to allow
such a concentration to build up.

In considering the forensic measurements, I will make the not
necessarily warranted assumptions that Rudolf and Leuchter can be
trusted to have handled their samples carefully and honestly. What
they claim to measure is a large discrepancy between the levels of
cyanide in the blue-stained delousing chambers compared to the
homicidal gas chambers that do not have obvious staining in
Auschwitz-Birkenau (the Madjanek chamber is an interesting exception
that deserves some comment below).

These measurements are essentially meaningless. The information
content is not more than the fact that some of the delousing chambers
have blue-staining and the homicidal chambers do not.

There are three conceivable explanations for this difference.

1) The presence of Prussian-Blue staining is a necessary consequence of
exposure to HCN and the fact that it is not present in the homicidal
chambers proves they were not used for homicidal gassing.

2) The Prussian-Blue staining is present for reasons having nothing to
do with the exposure to HCN. For example Bailer has suggested it may be a
pigment from paint.[76]

3) The Prussian-Blue staining indeed owes its presence to exposure to HCN,
but the conditions under which it formed were not universally present in all
facilities exposed to HCN. The rate of Prussian-Blue formation may
be very different under the conditions used in homicidal chamber
versus the conditions in delousing chambers.

Answer number one is, of course, untenable. We know that homicidal
gassings occurred from historical evidence independently of the
chemistry involved. Nevertheless, I will suspend my disbelief for a
moment. If the lack of Prussian Blue is supposed to prove that no
gassing took place, possibilities 2 and 3 must be disproven. If it is
not possible to do so, then the impossibility of gassings at the Kremas
has not been shown.

My article on Prussian Blue discusses some of the issues involved in
its possible formation.[77] The iron in Prussian Blue exists in two
oxidation states Fe(II) and Fe(III) (the Roman numeral in parenthesis
denotes the formal positive charge on iron). The significant question
is how the Fe(III) present in construction materials forms Fe(II).
Such a process is called reduction and requires a reducing agent, viz.,
something that gets oxidized when Fe(III) gets reduced. (Oxidation
means the formal loss of electrons, i.e., negative charge, whereas
reduction means the gain of electrons.)

Bailer could not think of a possible reducing agent and looked
elsewhere for a reason for the Prussian-Blue stains.[78] I consider
his explanation unlikely but not disproven.

Rudolf has suggested HCN acts as the reducing agent,[79] and I suppose
that suggestion is possible. I have suggested what I consider to be a
more plausible reducing agent, namely water.[80] This suggestion is
reasonable considering that de Wet and Rolle have presented evidence
that Prussian Blue can be formed in such a manner.[81] It should be
mentioned that Rudolf tried and failed to produce Prussian Blue.[82]

The difficult part comes into play in understanding the kinetics of how
Prussian Blue forms. How fast does it form and under what conditions?
The exposure conditions of the delousing chambers and the homicidal gas
chambers were quite different, if the Degesch directions for delousing
were followed. The walls in the delousing chambers may have been
exposed to HCN for over 20 hours at a time at levels up to 16,000 ppm.
Additionally, the amount of water present, the amount of carbon dioxide
present (from humans exhaling) and the temperature are crucial to
understanding the differences. I suspect that the kinetics are too
difficult to model without resort to experiment. In order to prove his
thesis, Rudolf must demonstrate that it is necessary for Prussian Blue
to form under the conditions employed in the homicidal gas chambers.

The control used in the measurements of Leuchter and Rudolf is
biased. They contain Prussian Blue as the major form of cyanide and
the kinetics of Prussian Blue formation are far from obvious. Cyanide
residues, not in the form of Prussian Blue are far more susceptible to
weathering away. The IFRC researchers experimented with exposing
building materials to HCN and found that the cyanides were easily
removed with exposure to water. [83] The samples that they found
containing cyanides from the Kremas were carefully taken from places
in the chambers that were as sheltered from the elements as
possible.[84] Leuchter and Rudolf, collecting their samples illegally
could not afford that luxury.

The IFRC being aware of the problems using a biased control containing
Prussian Blue used a method that discriminated against such compounds
that only measure other cyanides present. The IFRC found traces of
cyanide at levels significantly above background in all 5 Kremas as
well as bunker 11. They also measure concentrations in bath-house B1-A
in Birkenau, which was used for delousing prisoners’ clothing. Samples
>from the bath house did indeed have higher concentrations of cyanides,
but it is not the case that every sample from the bath-house had higher
concentrations than every sample in the Kremas. For example, sample
number 25 from Krema II had measurements of 640,592, and 620 ug/kg.
Sample 46 from Krema V had measurements of 244, 248, and 232 ug/kg.
In contrast sample 53 from the bath-house camp B1-A in Birkenau had
measurements of 24, 20, and 24 ug/kg. Overall concentrations for the
fumigation chambers ranged from 0-900 ug/kg. In the Kremas they ranged
>from 0-640 ug/kg. So it is true that the highest measurements were
higher in fumigation chambers (discriminating against iron blues), but
not by much. There is another important fact. Concentrations in
control samples from dwelling accommodations were 0 +/- 1 ug/kg. In
other words, there is no doubt that the Kremas were exposed to a
source of HCN. If the intent is to prove that the Kremas could not
have been homicidal gas chambers, it has failed.[85]

Before concluding it is worth mentioning the case of the gas chamber at
Majdanek. This chamber has Prussian Blue staining. Pressac has
interpreted this fact to mean that delousing must have taken place in
this chamber.

The red-ochre bricks stained with dark blue were for him [Mai^tre
Jouanneau] material and visible proof of the existence of homicidal
gas chambers. The problem , for there is one, is that the gas chamber
presented all the characteristics of a DELOUSING installation. I am not
saying that it was never used to kill people, for that is still
possible, but the traces of Prussian Blue are an absolutely certain
indication of use for delousing purposes….[86]

Pressac believes that the presence of Prussian Blue proves that the
chamber was used for delousing. Whereas he does not view Prussian
Blue as proof that the chamber was not used for homicidal purposes, he
implies that homicidal purposes alone would not produce Prussian Blue.

Happy to be logically inconsistent as long as they can spread a bit of
confusion to obfuscate the truth, at least one denier has claimed on the
basis of Pressac’s statement that the chamber in question was only a
delousing chamber.

I am not yet convinced of Pressac’s reasoning. I do not think it is
obvious that homicidal gassing can never produce Prussian Blue stains,
and I would suggest that a counter assertion demands the same kinetic
arguments that the deniers are unable to produce.

VI. Conclusion

In this article I have discussed some of the history as well as the
chemistry of mass murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau. I have shown that the
arguments of the deniers do not hold up when shown the light of day.

It is much easier to tell a lie than to expose one. Perhaps, that is
one of the unspoken reasons that motivates people to advocate censoring
hate-speech. Whereas I am opposed to censorship and hate speech laws, I
am not embarrassed to call Holocaust-denial hate speech. That is what
it is. People who are smart enough to obfuscate using pseudoscientific
arguments are also smart enough to know what they are doing:
propagating a lie. Although some people may be attracted to Holocaust
denial because of gullibility and/or mental illness, these people are
not the same people who write these clever but mendacious
pseudoscientific reports. The people who write these reports are
motivated by a desire to rehabilitate Nazism, an ideology of hate.
Hate-speech is what it is and in calling it that I am merely exercising
my right of free speech.

The arguments made by the deniers are, of course, repulsive, but they
can only have an effect if the public is not educated enough to see the
poor scholarship disguised with footnotes. It is because of this
restriction on the possibility of the deniers to have an effect that I
believe that accurate information is the best possible response.

There is no law preventing anyone from starting his/her own newspapers,
theatres etc. You Nazis are allowed your rags (Spotlight, JHR etc.).
The fact that your ideology does not sell is no one’s fault but your own
for holding onto a bankrupt ideology. That you would like to create such laws
against the rights of others to have newspapers, movies etc. says enough on
its own.

Greetings all,

John Morris has stated that he does not read alt.true-crime; yet “Natalia”
does not followup to alt.revisionism which he does read. Why do you
suppose that is?

In addition to this cowardly behavior “Natalia” still has not apologized
for intentionally misquoting me under the guise of “Robert.”

Now I can prove that Tom Moran is Albert Einstein!

4 = 8

Divide both sides by 2.

1 = 2

Now, out of the set of two objects {Zeyde, Albert Einstein}; they are
one. Therefore, Zeyde is Albert Einstein, QED.

Dr. Keren, you are arguing about math with Albert Einstein!

They are right. I demonstrated this fact once on this newsgroup about
two years ago when your better, Matt Giwer, brought it up. Below I
include the demonstration. BTW- I just spent some time in the emergency
room, one of the other patients was in because his hands had caught on
fire.

Here is the demo:

It has been asserted in this news group that burning a body is not
exothermic. As evidence we are told that one cannot light a hamburger
on fire with a match. The proponents of this view do not understand the
meaning of the word exothermicity. Exothermicity means that the
reaction releases heat. It is also impossible to light a large log on
fire with a match; yet that log releases heat when burned. The
difficulty in lighting the log is a kinetic issue rather than a
thermodynamic one. Energy is needed to overcome an activation barrier.
This barrier is why one uses tinder and kindling or else lighter fluid
to start a fire.

Let’s do a few calculations to prove the point. Any errors are mine.

1) Let us first show roughly that burning a hamburger is exothermic under a
gross approximation. We will do a better job when treating the human body.

Suppose we have a 100 g hamburger. Suppose that 80% is water.
Suppose that 20% is combustible.

Let’s treat the 20% as if it were methane. This is not quite right, but
it should give a correct order of magnitude. We will fine tune when
we address the human body.

Let’s combust the methane:

The enthalpy of combustion of methane is -890.4 kJ/mol.

20 g * 1 mol/16 g = 1.25 mol methane

1.25 mol * (-890.4) = -1113 kJ

Let’s vaporize the water:

The heat of vaporization of water at 100 C is 40.656 kJ/mol.
The heat capacity of water (Cp) is 4.184 J/g*K

Let’s suppose our burger starts at 25 C (since it has no
residual body heat, clearly we will be overestimating
the amount needed for a warmer body).

To heat the water to 100C we will need:

80 g * 75K * 4.2 J/gK = 25200J = 25.2 kJ

Now to vaporize this water we will need:

80g * 1 mol/18g * 40.7 kJ/mol = 180.6 kJ

So to vaporize all the water takes:

180.6 kJ + 25.2 kJ = 205.8 KJ

The total heat given off by entirely burning the burger is:

205.8 kJ – 1117 kJ = – 911 kJ

2) Let’s extend our rough model to a human. We will fine tune it
afterwards. Suppose a human weighs 75 kg. Our burger weighed .1 kg.

750 * (-911) = – 683,250 kJ

Certainly a more accurate calculation can be done. I have from M.
Bilik:

A) He suggests 50-70% water may be a better estimate.
B) He suggests 14% and 22% fat for the avearge man and woman
respectively.
C) He suggests a minimum of 16.8% proteins.

3) Let us do an underestimate: assume the body is 80% water and 14%
fat.

Mark Van Alstine gives us an example fat:

The combustion equation for the fat glyceryl trimyrisate, C45H86O6,
for example, is:

C45H86O6(s) + 127/2 O2(g) -> 45C02(g) + 43H20(l); H = -27820 kJ/mol

The molecular mass of this fat is:

M = 45*12 + 86 + 6*16 = 540 + 86 + 96 = 722.

So 1 g. of this fat has a heat of combustion:

H = -27820 kJ/mol * 1 mol/ 722 g. = -38.5 kJ/g.

Suppose that the human body is 14% fat and 80 % water. In 100 g of a
body we have 14 g of fat that release

14 g * (-38.5 kJ/g) = – 539 kJ when burnt. 205.8 kJ are needed
to evaporate 80 g water.

So every 100 g of a body releases -333 kJ ignoring the presence
of proteins, urea etc., which also burn exothermically.

A 75 kg person releases about (750) * (-333) = 249,750 kJ. from fat
alone taking into account the necessity of evaporating water.

Dr. Keren, our estimates are the same order of magnitude (a BTU is about
a kJ). Mine appears to be a slight underestimate and yours a slight
overestimate, but we are in the ballpark.

I forget who said this first but…

Holocaust “Revisionism” is both true and important; it’s just that the

Hello all,

“Natalia” has posted nothing new. A claim without support that 1 ug/kg
is insignificant. The IFRC demonstrated its significance. She posts a
claim without support that PB must have formed in the homicidal
chambers. I have already refuted both of those claims.

Markiewicz, Gubala, and Labedz of the Institute of Forensic Research,
Crakow, demonstrated that HCN was present in the homicidal gas chambers at
levels above background.

I quote from their paper available at:

https://nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/polish/institute-for-forensic-research/

The results of analyses are presented in Tables I-IV. They
unequivocally show that the cyanide compounds occur in all the
facilities that, according to the source data, were in contact with
them. On the other hand, they do not occur in dwelling accomodations,
which was shown by means of control samples.

The IFRC researchers used a calibrated method that they checked against
samples of known concentration as they went along. They discriminated against
Prussian blue whose origin is not clear. Leuchter and Rudolf did not do so,
and their attempt to disprove the possibility of homicidal gassings
fails.

Not furthermore that the cowardly free speech opponent fears to post to
alt.revisionism and that “she” has not apologized for deliberately lying
about what I claim under “her” other pseudonym “Robert.”

“The laboratory analysis of the material collected was conducted -to

Natalia is grasping at straws if he wishes to claim that this does not
mean to say that they were unaware of which samples were controls and
which not. I remind you that the controls gave unequivocal 0 values.

Their controls and calibration curve are sufficient to prove the
significance of the results.

What Rudolf proved is that it is possible to expose a brick to HCN
without leaving cyanide traces. That disproves his entire report right
there.

He could easily have added cyanides to the delousing samples or
collected sample from the gas chambers that were not really from the gas
chambers. You are quite wrong in your claim about sample collection.
Collecting blue-stained samples form the delousing chambers and
non-stained samples from the gas chambers makes the information content
of your measurements nil. You are telling me something I know from
looking. The only objective comparison is to avoid the blue-staining
either in sample collection or chemically.

Rudolf’s references are to himself “E. Gauss.” I agree that iron II can
be reduced but water is the likely agent as I have shown by references
to the real literature.

Nevertheless, that is not my point. Since you do not know what reduction
is that must not be clear to you.

Yes, but Majdanek was not the same. The conditions are different. In

be sources of reduced iron. You do know what reduced iron is don’t
you?

opponents of free speech who find it necessary to lie about the claims
of those they disagree with. Such as you, Nazi-boy.

Hello all,

[repetitive and unsupported speculation from Natalia snipped]

Natalia’s reasoning here is so specious that it needs no comment from
me.

The fact that Natalia is a proven liar _is_ the issue at hand.

>> “The laboratory analysis of the material collected was conducted -to

Notice how Natalia sticks to the issues and avoids ad hominem attacks.
As long as we are discussing the objectivity of writers need I remind
you that the Rudolf Report was introduced to defend Rudolf’s friend
Otto Remer who was the man who put down the attempted coup against
Hitler. If Rudolf is so objective, why did he write for _Junge
Freiheit_ before becoming an active denier?

They were able to measure standards accurately, proving the validity of
their detection limits. Read the paper Natalia.

On the contrary, as already shown he has proven his own measurements
meaningless.

If it’s no big deal, write down the rate constant and the relevant
concentrations of CO2, HCN, Fe(III) and H2O, and derive a rate.

Learn some chemistry Natalia, CO2 is an acid anhydride. It’s extremely
relevant when examining the references you’ve given.

My meaning is clear enough.

On the contrary, it is necessary to do so, if a measurement is to have
any meaning whatsoever. I remind you that most cyanides that are not
ligands to iron or similar metals are water soluble and will weather
away. If we wish to compare water soluble cyanides- and we must if we
wish to provide any information not available by merely looking- we must
discriminate against the iron blues. The fact that cyanides were
present in the homicidal chambers is enough to invalidate the claims of
Leuchter and Rudolf. The fact that Rudolf demonstrated that it is
possible to expose a brick to HCN without detecting cyanides is also
sufficient to invalidate Leuchter and Rudolf. Taken together, they
refute Leuchter and Rudolf twice.

Liar. My claims have been quite consistent. It’s your inability to read
and comprehend what I wrote that is the problem.

This paper is quite interesting. The authors investigate the reduction
of [Fe(CN)6]3- by aqueous and ethanolic solutions of CN-. They suggest
that CN- is indeed the reducing agent, but their inability to observe
CNO- must suggest that this suggestion is inconclusive. More
importantly, they show that Prussian Blue does not form in water unless
there is and excess of CN- ions compared to Fe(III) or very basic
conditions.

I quote from p. 1640:

“The dilution of the absolute stock solutions of Fe(III) and Fe(CN)6^3-
with absolute ethanol gave the red complex which persisted for about 1
hour, as compared to the disappearance of the red complex in the aqueous
media at a dilution of 3.3 * 10^-4 M. The red complex in ethanol
darkened within the hour and reduction to Prussian Blue was complete in
2 days (Fig. 3).”

Now comes the important part:

“It is to be noted that the complex in aqueous solution, under the same
conditions, decomposes immediately, the spectrum reverting to that of
the Fe(CN)6^3- ion. Furthermore, addition of as little as 13% water (by
volume) caused the red complex to decompose, giving a spectrum of the
Fe(CN)6^3- ion.”

In other words, Prussian blue only forms with very high concentrations
of CN-. 3*10^-4 moles/L is quite high. I doubt whether given the
Henry’s Law constant of HCN and the concentrations used in the homicidal
chambers that such concentrations would have been reached. Perhaps, if
the Degesch instructions for delousing were followed in the delousing
chambers, such concentrations would have been achieved.

Furthermore, these researchers found a strong pH dependence to the
reaction. CO2 is an acid anhydride and there would have been a lot of
it in the homicidal chambers. Even atmospheric concentrations of CO2
(at 330 ppm) are sufficient to cause pure rain water to have a pH of
5.6. Low pH inhibits the reaction.

My library did not have this one; perhaps, you’d care to quote the
relevant passages. Specifically, what concentration of CN- relative
to Fe(CN)6^3- was used and what was the pH?

Last time your accusation was based upon dishonesty: you intentionally
misquoted me. This time it’s merely based on your inability to
comprehend basic logic and is therefore excusable.

Pressac claims that the Majdanek chamber was used for delousing because
of the staining. He may be right and he may be wrong, but as he
acknowledges such use is not mutually exclusive with the possibility that
the chamber was used for murder.

Scratch the surface of a denier and find a Nazi. Is anyone surprised?
Luckily the vast majority of Germans have better sense than you and your
Nazi heroes, Natalia. They overwhelmingly reject Nazism and Holocaust
denial. The German people detest your Hitler who ruined Germany. If
you have contempt for modern Germans, who is the bigot, Nazi-boy?

Markiewicz, Gubala, and Labedz of the Institute of Forensic Research,
Crakow, demonstrated that HCN was present in the homicidal gas chambers at
levels above background.

I quote from their paper available at:

https://nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/polish/institute-for-forensic-research/

The results of analyses are presented in Tables I-IV. They
unequivocally show that the cyanide compounds occur in all the
facilities that, according to the source data, were in contact with
them. On the other hand, they do not occur in dwelling accomodations,
which was shown by means of control samples.

The vulgarity came because you said something nasty about my mother.
Functionalist, interpretations of the Shoah are not the same thing as
Holocaust denial. You accused my mother of being equivalent to a
holocaust denier. Either you are ignorant about the content of the
arguments of Holocaust denial or you are merely a liar.

Professor Green praises those who brought the crimes of Stalin to
light and agrees that the truth was suppressed. Do a little reading
before you go accusing people of being the same as Holocaust deniers.

I never said that *I* would sue especially, if the best you can do is
post polemics to an obscure newsgroup devoted to liars and kooks.

Here is the content of what Mr. Pohl is referring to:

The meaning of genocide and the uniqueness of the Holocaust are revealed
in a few characteristics. The Holocaust was aimed at the extermination
of an entire people because they were that people. The extermination
was not a means to an end; it was an end in itself. It was not an act
of demonstrative violence in which some were killed in order to terrify
the other members of the people into submission. It was not intended
to affect behaviour. It was not a pogrom or the result of uncontrolled
mass violence. It was, rather, an intentional, systematic effort to
exterminate an entire people utilizing modern technology to ensure
efficiency.

This is a lie:

In this chapter I will argue that the deaths of millions of Ukrainians
and other Soviet peoples in the famine of 1932-1933 are *directly
attributable* [emphasis mine: RJG] to Stalin’s attempt to totally
reconstruct society through rapid industrialization, an effort in which
he was determined that nothing would stand in his way. In the process,
he instituted a totalitarian system permeated by terror.

In other words, there was a goal to crush the Ukraine into submission.
This fact is evidence that my mother’s distinction is valid.
The Holocaust was “not an act of demonstrative violence in which some
were killed in order to terrify the other members of the people into
submission. It was not intended to affect behavior.”

The evidence for a difference is that there is still a Ukraine. The

the war.

And my mother agrees that it is:

In the case of the Ukraine, forced collectivization was seen as a war by
the non-Ukrainian urban population against Ukrainian villagers. As
peasants and as Ukrainians they resisted collectivization by whatever
means they could. Resistance was met by increased force. There was a
disparate impact on Ukrainians- not because they were Ukrainians but
because they were peasants.

One ought to note also that this newsgroup is not a forum for legitimate
discussion of real revisionist views (Mayer, Goldhagen etc.). It is a
group for people who argue that Zyklon B cannot be used effectively for
murder, that the Nazis did not kill 5-6 million Jews and that even if
they did the Jews deserved it.

My mother is not a “Jewish Holocaust scholar” she is a scholar in the
field of Soviet, post-Soviet, and East European politics. She does not
deny the crimes of Stalin; she does not deny that they were crimes. She
argues that they were crimes of a different nature from those of the
Nazis. Both regimes engaged in Totalitarian Terror. The Nazis sought
to eliminate a people from the face of the earth, not to terrorize them
into submission. They both created horrors beyond the imagination.
They both killed millions. Stalin killed more.

Exactly what my mother claims! Mr. Pohl agrees with her main point.
Unless, perhaps, he means to claim that the Nazis did not intend to kill
all the Jews.

Right, but it was a separate effort to kill a people because they were
that people. It seems to fit my mother’s definition above.

Of course, it is not her expertise and it is not what she is writing
about. Mr. Pohl may choose to requote “the nature of the uniqueness”
quote out of context again, but BBG is addressing a narrow question only
if you bother to read the article carefully.

Note the preceding sentence. ‘every Jew’ in other words, it was an
inevitable consequence that every Jew would be deported and killed.
No citizen of the SU “assumed…” does not mean that no citizen was
deported and killed because of ethnic origin. Mr. Pohl, in his
dishonest quoting, attempted to obscure that fact.

Does Mr. Pohl mean to say that the crimes of Stalinism were “Jewish
crimes?” Let’s be very clear here, Mr. Pohl. Israel should pay
reparations because you can find an example of a Jewish Stalinist?

Perhaps, Mr. Berg would like to comment of Lu”ftl’s claim that 6 million
people could not have been gassed at Auschwitz.

Doen’t it strike Mr. Berg as odd that Lu”ftl would refute something that
no one ever claimed. Doesn’t it strike Mr. Berg as a bit dishonest?

Doesn’t it strike Mr. Berg as dishonest that Lu”ftl used the
disinfection time for lice to claim that Zyklon does not evaporate fast
enough especially in light of the paper by Irmscher?

It agrees roughly with Peters and shows that there is absolutely no

You are dodging the question. Is Luftl’s claim honest or was it written

Perhaps, you’d be willing to share with us who the bigots are and who
the nonbigots are.

Is Greg Raven a bigot?
Is Bradley Smith a bigot?
Is Bellinger a bigot?
Is Al Baron a bigot?
Is Tom Moran a bigot?
Is David Irving a bigot?
Is Carto a bigot?

Somehow I doubt that any “revisionist” will be willing to answer
these questions.

Yes, it does confuse me. Please explain why nitrogen doesn’t rise?
Big Hint: gases are miscible, the density of an air parcel may cause it
to rise or fall (depending on the lapse rate), but temperature is the major
factor.

Perhaps Mr. Allen could answer a few simple questions?

What is the density of air with 12g/m^3 HCN?
What is the density of clean tropospheric air?

Is the difference significant?

Now go back to the books and learn a little about laminar vs. turbulent
flow.
