Close, but not quite. The term originated in structural linguistics,
more precisely in the work of the great Swiss linguist Ferdinand de
Saussure (1857-1913). Specifically:

<QUOTE>
Saussure suggested that language should not only be studied in terms of
its individual parts, and not only diachronically (across time), but
also in terms of the relationship between the parts synchronically (the
way it works now as a snapshot of meaning relations). In this way,
Saussure sought to recognise a language’s structural properties as well
as its historic evolution. Thus Saussure showed that language functions
at each moment as a complete system at any given point in time, so he
was able to examine the language system a-historically.
</QUOTE>

The idea that Saussure developed with respect to the study of language
can be extended to the study of any complex system. It can be isolated
>from its functional and historical context and studied as an autonomous
object existing and fully functional as an entity consisting of
heterogeneous components at a specific point in time (synchronically
and holistically), or it can be studied as a specific state in an
evolutionary process involving heterogeneous elements, each of which
has its own evolutionary history (diachronically and atomistically).
The difference is essentially that of studying the properties of a
complex entity on the basis of its snapshot, as opposed to studying its
properties on the basis of a motion picture documenting how and why the
various components of the entity got together to form something which
functions as a system at a specific point in time.

Correct.

Actually, the reason that evidence can’t be trotted out to his
satisfaction is that he is making arbitrary and unjustified
preconditions for what constitutes evidence for an historical event.
Doing history requires that we work with the evidence that is
available, interpreting it according to the various ontological,
epistemological, heuristic, and methodological principles the validity
of which has been established by the community of people that are
regarded as legitimate historians.

You can’t say “The only proof that I will accept that structure X was a
gas chamber is a document that can be validly certified to be a copy
its instruction manual”. Indeed, once such a document, if it ever
existed, was presented, the sceptic could say “The only proof that I
will acept that document X is a certified copy of the instruction
manual is proof that the certifier was really a legitimate Nazi era
certifier”. This type of argumentation can be continued ad infinitum
and it is not aimed at establishing the historicity of an event. It is
a puerile attempt to impose on historical research the standards of
proof that are used within axiomatic systems of argumentation such as
geometry.

A historian works with the evidence at hand to reconstruct contexts and
cuasal chains: the fact that a murder weapon is never found does not
invalidate the historicity of a murder. If it did, every murderer could
escape punishment by destroying his or her murder wepaon. Criminology,
like history, uses methods that enable it to construct hypotheses,
contexts, and causal connections on the basis of the evidence that is
available to determine whether or not a murder has taken place, and if
so, how, why, and by whom it was committed. Just observing a murder –
relating to it from a purely synchronic perspective – can give us
certain forensic details, but without the diachronic investigation
which connects the murdered person to a larger context, hypotheses,
theories, and proofs of the guilt beyond reasonable doubt of one as
opposed to another suspect cannot be constructed.

This is something that many of the revisionists posting to this forum
seem incapable of understanding or appreciating.

There is abundant physical evidence of the Holocaust. Classical sources
include:
1. The mass graves recently investigated at Belzec.
2. The abundant traces of human remains found during the geological
examination of the Auschwitz camp.
3. The traces of cyanide found on the walls and in the ventilation
systems of the gas chambers at Auschwitz and Majdanek.
4. The still standing and partially functional gas chambers at Majdanek
and Mauthausen, as well as the partial restoration of a premise that
once served as a gas chamber at Auschwitz-Stammlager.
5. The Jeckeln-type graves which have been partially exhumed at Serniki
and Ustanovka in Ukraine.
6. The bone fragments and other human remains found on the site of the
Jeckeln-type mass grave in Riga, Latvia.
7. The clandestinely taken photographs of people being run into and
dragged out of Auschwitz gas chambers, as well as of dead and healthy
looking bodies being thrown into Auschwitz burning pits.
8. The photographs of people being death-marched through the German
countryside during the winter of 1945.
9. The stacks, traincarsfuls, and warehousefuls of dead bodies found at
so many of the camps when they were liberated.
10. The traces of cyanide found in hair and on bracelets, hair clasps
and other articles removed from gassed bodies that were forensically
examined by Polish forensic scientists in 1945.
11. Nazi photographs and newsreels of Einsatzkommando death squads
shooting women and children taken in several locations in Eastern
Europe, particularly in Leipaja, Latvia, and Ukraine.
12. The thousands of mass graves of people mass-murdered by the Nazis
known to the local authorities responsible for groundwater and
sanitation in Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Poland, western Russia, and
Ukraine.

The books and legal claims are not being pulled out of the air. The
facts that the books are carefully researched and often supported by
photographs taken by the Nazis themselves (such as Goldhagen’s
_Hitler’s willing Executioners_), and that almost all of the legal
claims made have been upheld in American, Argentinian, Australian,
Belgian, Brazilian, Canadian, Czech, Czechoslovak, Dutch, Estonian,
French, German, Hungarian, Israeli, Latvian, Lithuanian, Slovak,
Soviet, Swiss, and Ukrainian courts because the evidence on which they
are based is unambiguous and uncontestable, such as the unclaimed
Holocaust-era bank accounts and insurance policies of Nazi-murdered
Jews found in Switzerland a few years back, demonstrate that there is
abundant physical and documentary evidence to back up the allegations.

Polish Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek meets with President Clinton at the
White House Friday.
(Reuters)

Buzek Thursday toured the U.S. Holocaust Museum and said a new memorial
would be built on the site of a Nazi extermination camp in Poland which
was crumbling and neglected.

Buzek handed two silver spoons as a symbolic gift to museum chairman
Miles Lerman. The spoons were found this year at the site of the Belzec
extermination camp during part of an unprecedented archeological
survey.

Belzec, in eastern Poland near the Ukrainian border, was the first camp
in which the Nazis erected permanent gas chambers. At least 600,000
Jews were murdered there.

The Polish government and the Holocaust Museum quietly signed an
agreement last year to build a new memorial there to replace a
sculpture that was erected in the 1960s by the former Communist
authorities of Poland.

Jewish visitors to the site had complained that it was badly neglected,
overgrown with weeds and strewn with garbage. They also said the
existing memorial was inappropriate and was falling apart.

“Construction will begin in the near future. Archeological work is
going on at that site and new discoveries are being made
systematically,” Buzek told reporters.

Lerman said Belzec was a place of great personal significance to him.

“My entire family, my mother, perished in Belzec,” he said. “We are
underway … I am convinced in the near future practical work (on a new
memorial) will begin.”

A Polish team recently carried out the most comprehensive archeological
survey ever conducted on a major Holocaust site and located 33
previously unknown mass graves.

“This was the first archeological survey on this scale done
systematically on a grid system and we have learned many new things,”
said Jacek Nowakowski, associate director of the Holocaust Museum,
coordinating the project from the U.S. side.

According to a report by Robin O’Neill, a British scholar who took part
in the survey, the team bored holes to a depth of some 18 feet at
15-yard intervals throughout the site.

“The largest mass graves … contained unburned human remains (parts
and pieces of skulls with hair and skin attached). The bottom layer of
the graves consisted of several inches thick of black human fat. One
grave contained uncrushed human bones so closely packed that the drill
could not penetrate,” O’Neill wrote.

Belzec was one of six extermination camps erected by the Nazis. The
other five were Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek, Auschwitz-Birkenau and
Chelmno.

The camp began operating in March 1942. Victims were packed tightly
into four gas chambers and killed by carbon monoxide generated from a
huge aircraft engine, with some taking as long as 35 minutes to die.
Their naked bodies were dumped in trenches. There were only five
recorded survivors, none of whom is still alive.

The Nazis had built Belzec to destroy the centuries-old Jewish
communities of southern and eastern Poland. In 1942, that job done,
they closed the camp. They later tried to hide their crime, burning the
bodies and grinding up the bones.

Nowakowski said the unburned bodies that had been discovered this year
numbered in the thousands and were probably the remains of Jews brought
to the site to burn the remains of victims of the gas chambers.

“The fact that there were many more people employed in burning the
bodies than we thought suggests they had many more bodies to burn. We
may have to revise upward the estimate of the number who died at Belzec
and that only increases the huge significance of the site,” he said.

————————————————————————

I have recently returned from Belzec where I was part of an
archaelogical team led by Professor Mieczslaw Gora of the Torun
University, Warsaw. We carried out an extensive survey of the camp
area drilling over 1700 bore-holes and examining soil samples to a
depth of 6m. 33 mass graves were found of various dimensions, the
largest measuring 70m x 20m x 6m deep.

In the south east part of the camp five mass graves were found, the
largest measuring 36m x 18m x 6m deep. Two of the graves contained
unburnt, naked human corpses below a layer of water at 3-4m below
ground.

At varying depths was found burnt human ash, burnt wood, crushed pieces
of bone etc. At the extrermity of drilling in grave marked No,1, there
were several c.m. of burnt human fat. Three graves contained a mixture
of ash, carbonised wood and crushed bone.

Near to the East boundary fence a grave measuring 5m x 5m x 2m deep was
located, spent and live rounds of German and Russian ammunition was
found. This may have been the site of the `lazerat` (bogus Red Cross
location) where the old, and sick were taken for execution.

With metal detectors and excavations over 600 items of property were
found and logged.

Four building structures were were exposed. Three of the sites were
excavated to a depth of 3m, and revealed burnt structures, possibly
the location of the death brigade barracks. These building sites
contained concrete cellars. A number of human bones, skulls etc were
found in one of these sites and probably the remains of of several
people shot on site and dumped.

A fourth building was exposed near the West corner of the camp which
may have been the camp generator building. We found no traces of the
gassing barracks.

The ramp and stopping place for the transports was located.
(The team: Prof. A. Kola, Prof M. Gora, R.Kazmierczak, W. Azulta, Z.
Wieczorkowski, M. Tregenza and 12 local workers from Belzec village).

I have 9 x 90min. film cassettes of the whole operation over the
period 28.4. – 4.6.98. (in need of some professional editing?)

We are due to re-commence work at Belzec this October and extend our
investigation outside the present camp wire.

I would like to add a tiny detail to Robin O’Neil’s exciting report on
Belzec. I was told that by metal detecting operations a silver
cigarette case was found in the camp site bearing the engraved name
of M a x M u n k from Vienna. Here we have a first piece of evidence
that people from Vienna have been transported to
Belzec. Has anybody ever heard about Max Munk? I have been doing a lot
of research on deportations into the district of Lublin and would very
much appreciate any further information.

Auschwitz happens to be in Poland, so anyone wanting first-hand

done that.

scraping the white substance that covered these objects back to the

December, 1945 and transmitted to the Examining Judge, Jan Sehn. 24

Are you arguing that under National SocialismŠ
– Men would not prefer to get rich by investing rather than working?
– Men would not be willing to pay cold cash to oogle good-looking women?
– People would not feel some sympathy for people in countries much
poorer or more disaster-prone than their own, and that they would not
be willing to part with some cold cash to keep them in their homelands
rather than have them come knocking, hat in hand, on the doors of their
National Socialist paradise?

Here is a photograph of pit-burning at Auschwitz during 1944:

The water table, which determines the level of the ground water, varies
with the seasons and can be radically altered by human intervention. The
technology, which the Dutch had mastered during the Middle Ages, is not
complex.

There are no known pictures or videos of Clinton getting his knob polished
by Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office.

There are:

1. Pictures and films made by the Germans for research purposes of them
gassing people within the framework of the T-4 euthanasia program.

2. Pictures and films made by the Germans for propaganda and documentary
purposes of them shooting Jewish civilians in Eastern Europe during the
first six months of the war.

3. Reliable and uncontested historical records showing that personnel such
as Christian Wirth and Franz Stangl who had been trained to commit mass
murder within the euthanasia program later wound up directing and
upgrading the extermination facilities at Belzec and Sobibor.

We also know that the Nazis made wide use of Zyklon-B as a disinfectant
for delousing clothing, etc. Mastery of the difficult and dangerous use of
Zyklon-B to disinfect clothing logically includes mastery of the simpler
and less dangerous use of Zyklon-B to kill people. Structures designed for
the disinfectation of clothing can, with minimal and trivial modification,
be used for killing people.

There is historical evidence from a variety of sources that the Nazis were
killing people at dedicated killing centers in Poland. This includes:

1. Testimony of captured camp directors, such as Rudolf Höss. It has been
pointed out several times here that he was tortured when he was captured.
This is evidently true. Nevertheless, after having been tortured he
appeared as a witness for the defence at Nuremberg, was tried on the basis
of other evidence at Cracow, and wrote his extensive and detailed memoirs
in a jail cell in Poland after having been tried and sentenced to death.
The information included in his memoirs is corroborated by information
>from other sources, nor did Höss have anything to lose or gain any more by
fabricating stories. The obvious errors and inconsistencies in his memoirs
can be attributed to the book’s lack of editing and Höss’s overall low
level of education.

2. The testimony of escapees such as Rudolf Vrba. Although he never
witnessed an actual gassing – understandable since they took place behind
closed doors in gas chambers – he knew what buildings at
Auschwitz-Birkenau were being used for gassing and had, according to his
testimony, witnessed the human input to the gassing facilities as well as
the medical orderlies responsible for adminstering the gas pouring it into
the chimney-like structures on the roof. Vrba made the world aware of what
was going on at Auschwitz during the war.

3. The testimony of surviving members of the Sonderkommando such as David
Olére (http://holocaust-info.dk/auschwitz/k3_side.htm
http://holocaust-info.dk/auschwitz/k3_olere.htm) which accords with both
surviving architectural documents and the information given independently
by Höss, Vrba, Münch. and others.

4. The testimony of Nazi officials such as Dr. Hans Münch working at the
camps in various functions giving details abaout the exterminaton
procedures whch are consistent with evidence given by Höss, Vrba, Olére,
and others.

5. Photographs of various phases of the extermination process which are
consitent with evidence about the extermination procedure given by others.
These include:
a. photographs of the selection process, e.g.
http://holocaust-info.dk/auschwitz/selection.htm
b. photographs of people selected for gassing unknowingly awaiting their
fate, e.g. http://holocaust-info.dk/auschwitz/waiting.htm
c. at least one clandestinely taken photograph of people being run into a
gas chamber, http://holocaust-info.dk/auschwitz/aktion.htm
d. at least one picture of freshly gassed bodies being pit-burned,
http://holocaust-info.dk/auschwitz/summer44.htm

6. Worksheets and inventory lists giving detailed information about the
people responsible for burning the bodies, oven run times, and the objects
such as false shower heads that were supposed to be in the gas chambers.

7. Construction plans such as the one at
http://www.fmv.ulg.ac.be/schmitz/Holocaust/plan01.html showing the high
capacity air-input and air-expulsion systems in gas chambers.

8. The fact that by the summer of 1944 when the action against Hungarian
Jews was being started the Jews, the diplomats of neutral countries who
had had access to concentration camps, and the general public knew that
the Nazis were performing mass gassings. This was the reason for the
competition between Adolf Eichmann and Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg
to gain access to and control over as many Jews as possible during the
summer of 1944.

9. The fact that the forensic examinations of gas chambers and gas chamber
remains conducted by the Polish authorities in 1945 and later, as well as
by people such as Fred Leuchter, all of which produced information
consistent with the other historical evidence indicating that the
structures in question had been exposed to lethal concentrations of
cyanide gas.

10. The fact that the people charged with having been accessories to mass
gassings at postwar trials in Germany, Austria, and Poland did not base
their defence on an attempt to deny the historical factuality of gassing,
but rather on their having been forced to obey orders to implement or
participate in gassings.

These could be claimed to be isolated facts, but we also have a good
understanding of the ideological precepts and objectives of the Nazi
state. By 1941 it had been established that:

1. Nazism was based on the idea of the strong taking advantage of the
weak. This was demonstrated for all the world by the euthanasia program,
within the fraework of which invalids, mental patients, deformed children,
terminally ill people, and Jews occupying hospital beds that were needed
for injured German soldiers were earmarked for extermination and killed by
gassing, lethal injections, or poisoning at dedicated edxtermination
centers such as Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim Castle, and
Sonnenstein.

2. Nazism had as one of its goals the “cleansing” of the European
continent of Jews, Gypsies, mulattos, and others deemed racially inferior.
Initially, the methods used were harassment, sterlization, denial of civil
rights, and confiscation of property. When the opportunity offered itself
harsher methods, including internment, enslavement, and mass murder were
used. The protocol of the Wannsee Conference, held after half a wear of
brutal and public mass killings of Jews and others in Eastern Europe
states clearly:

Source: http://library.byu.edu/~rdh/eurodocs/germ/wanneng.html

<QUOTE>
Under proper guidance, in the course of the final solution the Jews are to
be allocated for appropriate labor in the East. Able-bodied Jews,
separated according to sex, will be taken in large work columns to these
areas for work on roads, in the course of which action doubtless a large
portion will be eliminated by natural causes.

The possible final remnant will, since it will undoubtedly consist of the
most resistant portion, have to be treated accordingly, because it is the
product of natural selection and would, if released, act as a the seed of
a new Jewish revival (see the experience of history.)

In the course of the practical execution of the final solution, Europe
will be combed through from west to east. Germany proper, including the
Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, will have to be handled first due to
the housing problem and additional social and political necessities.

The evacuated Jews will first be sent, group by group, to so-called
transit ghettos, from which they will be transported to the East.
</QUOTE>

The Jews are to be indentified, rounded up, and sent Eastwards to function
as save labor so arduous that mnay of them “will be eliminated by natural
causes”. Those that survive will “have to be treated accordingly”, lest
they function as “as a the seed of a new Jewish revival”. Since the
occupation of its neighbors and the assault on the USSR had allowed
Germany’s anti-Jewish program to transcend its national borders, the scope
of the Final Solution was correspondingly widened:

“In the course of the practical execution of the final solution, Europe
will be combed through from west to east.”

The scope of the final solution was given in the statistics included in
the protocol:

<QUOTE>

Approximately 11 million Jews will be involved in the final solution of
the European Jewish question, distributed as follows among the individual
countries:

Country Number

A. Germany proper 131,800
Austria 43,700
Eastern territories 420,000
General Government 2,284,000

The legal basis for the final solution would be the imposition of the
Nuremberg Laws which defined Jewishness on racial grounds in the countries
that were under Nazi control:

“In the course of the final solution plans, the Nuremberg Laws should
provide a certain foundation, in which a prerequisite for the absolute
solution of the problem is also the solution to the problem of mixed
marriages and persons of mixed blood.”

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

Established, then is the existence of:
a. methodology for mass murder by gassing;
b. personnel trained to commit mass murder by gassing;
c. a history of having used mass murder by gassing;
d. a history of having been caught red-handed and being the object of
universal scorn for having had mass-murder by gassing as a part of state
policy;
e. establishments, the planning and design for which must have dated from
no later than mid 1941, built with facilities suitable for mass murder by
gassing and staffed by personnel trained to commit mass murder by gassing;
f. several groups of special action forces, Einatzkommandos, functioning
according to an orally issued Führer Command and committing public
executions of Jews and others over the previous six months;
g. feedback from the field that these mass executions are logistical
nightmares, a public relations disaster, and leave too much incriminating
evidence;
h. a window of opportunity opening as a consequence of Germany’s military
successes to determine the fate of all the Jews in Europe.
i. the protocol to a conference called by top Nazi leaders to co-ordinate
their efforts to rid the European continent of what the Germans consider
to be the Jewish race, using a combination of resettlement, brutal forced,
labor and approprate treatment for the elements strong enough to survive
the forced labor regime to achieve these ends.

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

Summing up, we have:
a. material evidence in the form of structures claimed to have been and
shown to have been able to function as gas chambers;
b. independent testimonial evidence in the form of people who planned,
witnessed, supervised, or participated in various stages of the gassing
process;
c. forensic evidence showing that the structures and ventilation systems
of structures clamed to have functioned as gas chambers were exposed to
lethal concentrations of HCN;
d. forensic evidence in the form of large amounts of human remains found
in the vicinity of places such as Belzec which was an extermination center
and nothing else;
e. material evidence in the form of millions of people known to have been
arrested by the Nazis, sent to various camps according to train schedules
which are well known and have been preserved, and never seen or heard from
again once they boarded the train for the camp;
d. a motive: the Nazi clearly stated their objective of clearing the
European continent of Jews;
e. a previous history of criminal behavior: the Nazis were caught red
handed gassing and mass murdering their own citizens within the euthansia
program, and they had generated some unpleasant vibes with six months of
public mass killing and other exterminational activity against Jews in
occupied Eastern Europe.
f. public mass shootings suddenly stop in early 1942, this being
concurrent with the opening of extermination centers (Chelmo, Belzec,
Treblinka, Sobibor) and the construction of extermination divisions at
already existing camps 8Auschwitz, Majdanek).
g. ghettoization, which previously ended with the inhabitants of the
ghetto being publicly marched to a nearby forest and shot, with stragglers
and attempted escapees shot on site during the public march, ended with
the ghetto inhabitants transported to some unspecified locality in the
East where some were selected to do forced labor, and others were last
seen waiting patiently outside buildings such as Krema II at
Auschwitz-Birkenau (http://holocaust-info.dk/auschwitz/waiting.htm).

There was a study and several thousand cubic meters of human remains
were found. Studies of this type are performed by making grid of the
area to be investigated and then taking so-called core samples. Markers
are put in the ground to indicate where the different core samples were
taken.

Only a moranic, blithering idiot would make a statement such as the
above which indicates a total ignorance of the manner in which forensic
archeologial investigations are conducted. Numerous esthetic, hygienic,
and cultural reasons preclude digging up every mass grave that we have
information about. Cobclusions about them can be made by analysis of
the core samples.

Even CODOH has no difficulty dealing with the fact that a forensic
archeological study was recently conducted at Belzec, cf.

Richard, I was dealing with extant information. This is not an issue of
human cognitive capacities, but rather one of how one is to interact
with extant information.

Thanks. Scott. I am able to read Polish and I will slosh through the
references to Mr. Kola for anything relevant. But knowledge of Polish
is not a “sine qua non”. Here is another article in English referring to
the Belzec digs, which Mr. Moran, in his typical denier modality,
claims never took place.

Archeologists unearth new secrets of Holocaust

WASHINGTON (July 21, 1998 10:52 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) – A
team of archeologists excavating the neglected site of a Nazi
extermination camp in Poland are uncovering new secrets from the
Holocaust.

They are conducting an unprecedented survey of the Belzec camp in
eastern Poland where at least 600,000 Jews were murdered in 1942 and
1943.

Under an agreement between the Polish government and the United States
Holocaust Museum in Washington, a new memorial is due to be erected at
the site next year to replace a crumbling sculpture placed there by the
former Polish Communist authorities that Jewish visitors found
objectionable.

The archeological survey conducted last October and between April and
June of this year was headed by Andrzej Kola, director of the
Underwater Archeological Department at the University of Torun, and
Mieczyslaw Gora, senior curator of the Museum of Archeology and
Ethnology in Lodz.

Holocaust scholars have hailed it as an important step forward in the
study of the Nazis’ murder of 6 million Jews during the Second World
War.

Michael Tregenza, a British historian assisting the survey, said the
team drilled 1,600 bore holes at 15-foot intervals, collected soil
samples for laboratory analysis and excavated selected sites to a depth
of up to 18 feet .

One of six Nazi extermination camps

Belzec was one of six extermination camps erected by the Nazis and the
first to use gas chambers. The other five were Treblinka, Sobibor,
Majdanek, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Chelmno.

Relatively little is known about Belzec because only five Jews who
passed through survived, none of whom is alive today. Some testimony
emerged from a trial of Nazi guards in Germany in the early 1960s but
most of those responsible for the horrors there were never identified
or brought to justice.

But one of the most vivid testimonies from the Holocaust relates to
Belzec. It was left by SS Lt. Kurt Gerstein who visited the camp in
August 1942 and witnessed the arrival of a transport of 6,700 Jews, of
whom 1,450 were already dead after several days crammed in cattle cars
without food or water.

Gerstein saw the Jews pushed into two gas chambers by SS men wielding
whips. A 5-year-old girl dropped a necklace and a 3-year-old boy picked
it up as they passed into the chamber, where victims were crammed in so
tightly they could not move. Then the door swung shut.

He later told how he stood outside with a stopwatch and timed how long
it took for people to die. He described how for three hours the diesel
engine that was supposed to pump deadly carbon monoxide into the
chamber would not work. Finally, it stuttered to life.

“Up till then people were still alive in the chamber. Another 25
minutes went by. True, many were now dead. After 28 minutes only a few
were still alive. At least, after 32 minutes, everyone was dead like
pillars of basalt, still erect, not having any place to fall,” Gerstein
testified.

Families still holding hands in death

“One could tell families even in death. They were still holding hands,
stiffened in death so that it was difficult to tear them apart to clear
the chamber for the next load.”

On his way back to Germany, Gerstein met a Swedish diplomat on a train
and poured out the whole story, crying and smoking incessantly. The
diplomat filed a report for his embassy but it was never acted on.

Gerstein also told a Protestant bishop and the papal nuncio in Berlin
what he had seen. Both ignored him. After the war he was captured by
the French and, after giving them an account of what he had seen,
committed suicide in July 1945.

There were no crematories at Belzec so victims were dumped in anti-tank
ditches. Toward the end of the war, when it was clear Germany was
headed for defeat, the Nazis brought in squads of Jewish prisoners to
destroy the evidence. Bodies were crushed and burned and camp
structures were torn down.

But the archeological survey shows that the evidence of the genocide
still lies buries just below the surface. According to a report by
Robin O’Neill, a British scholar who took part in the survey, the team
located 33 mass graves.

Tregenza estimated that some 15,000 unburned corpses still lie in the
earth of Belzec. Nowakowski believes some of the unburned bodies
discovered this year were probably the remains of the Jews brought to
the site to burn the victims’ corpses.

Many Jews employed in burning bodies

One of the graves resembles the execution pit described by death camp
staff at their trial where old and sick victims who were too infirm to
go through the extermination process unaided were dispatched with a
bullet to the back of the neck.

The team also unearthed various other items including the lid of a
silver cigarette case bearing the inscription “Max Munk” and an address
in Vienna.

Tregenza said the excavations have confirmed that two railway sidings
existed within the camp. The team was able to date the different-sized
graves tentatively by matching them to information about the arrival of
different transports.

The largest, 210 by 60 feet, apparently were dug to accommodate the
victims of the large transports, carrying between 150,000 and 180,000
people, which arrived almost daily during the peak period of the
gassing operation in August and September of 1942.

The remains of barracks, foundations of the camp generator and living
quarters of the Ukrainian guard unit were also found but many questions
remain, including the exact location of the main gate and the precise
dimensions of the camp.

Communists built pathways atop mass graves

“The most disturbing fact, confirmed by the recent investigations, is
that in the early 1960s, the Communist authorities laid out the area of
remembrance and erected monuments without any regard for the original
layout of the death camp,” Tregenza wrote in his report.

“The monuments and pathways were built on top of mass graves. The area
of the present fenced-in site was also considerably reduced in size.
Belzec is a prime example of the Communist falsification of history,”
he wrote.

Jewish visitors had complained for years that the site was neglected,
overgrown with weeds and strewn with garbage. They also said the
memorial was inappropriate and falling apart.

The Polish government and the Holocaust Museum quietly signed an
agreement last year to build a new memorial and Polish Prime Minister
Jerzy Buzek confirmed during a recent visit to Washington that
construction would begin next year.

“Construction will begin in the near future. Archeological work is
going on at that site and new discoveries are being made
systematically,” Buzek told reporters.

But building a new memorial may not solve the problem. Tregenza
reported that what he called “anti-Semitic elements” in the village of
Belzec had disrupted the survey by scattering human remains around and
partially demolishing the exposed brick and concrete cellar that had
been uncovered.

“Certain anti-Semitic members of the local population have already
informed me that ‘a Jewish museum in Belzec will not last long,”‘
Tregenza said in his report.

The fact is that it is CODOH which happens to have decided that what

Windmills provide a source of continuous energy needed to power the
pumps that transfer water from one place to another, thus ensuring that
the water table at a given place will be lower than it otherwise would
be. That is why the landscape of the Netherlands, a considerable
portion of whose land was gained by human manipulation of the water
table, is dotted with windmills. For example, the former Zuiderzee,
several meters below the North Sea, was pumped and is kept dry by the
energy provided to the necessary pumps by windmills.

Japanese behavior in China, the Khmer Rouge slaughter of urban
intellectuals, the Soviet Union’s policy of forced hunger and gulags,
not to mention the Turkish genocide of the Armenians and the Hutu/Tutsi
massacres are known, too well known, to most of the participants in
this newsgroup.

Still, the Jewish Holocaust is qualitatively and quantitatively
something different. Qualitatively because the goal was not just to
kill Jews, but rather, after an initial orgy of universal mass murder,
to enslave as many healthy Jews as possible, forcing them to
participate in both the killing of fellow Jews as well as in the
production of the materiel needed by the German army to get its hands
on more Jews to kill and enslave. Quantitatively because the perceived
problems of one country with its local Jews were extended to an entire
continent – no more than 5% of the Holocaust victims were German
nationals. Not even the Japanese attempted to find and kill every
possible Chinese or Korean in Asia, none of the other genocides were
implemented in such a cynical manner that the group to be liquidated
was forced to work running the machinery of genocide. The Jewish
Holocaust is not just a genocide, it is an instructive, unique, and
prophylactic example of the depths of human hate, cynicism, and
depravity.

Many ordinary Aryan Germans were in constant fear of the Nazi
government.

Non-communist political activists of a leftist persuasion such as Willy
Brandt and Herbert Wehner were forced into exile, outspoken clergyman
with strong Christian principles such as Martin Niemöller and Dietrich
Bonhoeffer were arrested, put in concentration camps, and, as was
Bonhoeffer, often executed there. People with non-confomist religious
views, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses and activist pacifists were
terrorized, arrested, and killed as warning examples. Tens of thousands
of people with what were considered to be racial defects could expect
to be sterilized, often without their knowledge or consent. Worst of
all, the relatives of people with incurable diseases, mental illness,
or physical deformities knew that at any moment they could expect a
letter telling how their loved one had died at a facilitiy such as
Grafeneck or Hadamar. By the time Archbishop von Galen spoke out about
euthanasia during the summer of 1941, more than a hundred thousand
ordinary Germans had been informed of the untimely death of a loved
one, a person who had actually been gassed, starved, or administered a
lethal injection by a euthanasia specialist, and hundreds of thousands
more were aware that they could expect such a letter at any time.

Many ordinary Aryan Germans were in constant fear of the Nazi
government. As the virulence of Nazism spread beyond Germany’s borders
many people who had been German citizens, whether Aryans or non-Aryans,
but had feared or despised Nazism enough to have the good sense to take
up residence in the Netherlands, France, Austria, or some country
further afield in Europe such as Greece or Latvia, found themselves
caught up in its web. There are, for example, cases of Germans married
to Jews who wanted to save themselves the humiliation that the
Nuremberg Laws would have meant for their marriage by moving abroad,
only to be arrested, tried, and severly punished for racial violations
once the Nazis invaded their new homeland and sought them out. German
blood was deemed by the Nazi government to be the property of the
German “Volk”, not of the individual, and laws were passed depriving
the individual of the right to determine who could or could not be his
or her spouse or lover.

You might not know this well-known poem:

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out ‹ because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out ‹ because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out ‹ because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me ‹
and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.

– attributed to anti-Hitler activist Martin Niemöller

According to Harry W. Mazal, the exact text of what Martin Niemöller
said, and which appears in the Congressional Record, 14, October 1968,
page 31636, is:

When Hitler attacked the Jews I was not a Jew, therefore I was not
concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a
Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked
the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and
I was not concerned. Then Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church
‹ and there was nobody left to be concerned.

The Prisoners

The first prisoners were political opponents of the regime: communists,
social democrats, members of the trade unions and a few members of the
conservative and the liberal parties. Also, the first Jewish prisoners
were imprisoned in Dachau because of their political beliefs. In the
following years new groups of prisoners were deported to Dachau: Jews,
Homosexuals, Gypsies, Jehovahs’ Witnesses, Clergymen and others. After
the November pogroms in 1938, the so-called “Crystal Night,” more than
10,000 Jews were brought to Dachau.

>From 1938 on, the prisoners’ society in the concentration camp in
Dachau reflected the National Socialist aggression. After the annexion
of Austria in the spring of 1938, Austrian prisoners were brought to
Dachau and subsequently, in the same year, prisoners from the
“Sudeten”-area. In March 1939 Czech prisoners were brought to Dachau,
and after the beginning of the war prisoners from Poland, Norway,
Belgium, the Netherlands, France and so on.

Finally, the German prisoners were a minority; the Polish prisoners
were the largest national group, followed by the prisoners from the
Soviet Union. Altogether, there were more than 200,000 prisoners from
more than 30 countries imprisoned in Dachau.

During the war Dachau concentration camp became a place of mass murder.
Beginning in October 1941, thousands of Soviet prisoners of war were
brought to Dachau and shot. Also, others who the Gestapo, the Secret
Police ordered to be executed, were transported to Dachau and killed.

A large number of prisoners were misused by SS doctors for medical
experiments. There were high altitude experiments, cooling and freezing
experiments, a series of malaria experiments and others. An unknown
number of prisoners died excruciating deaths.

So-called invalid transports began in January 1942. More than 3000
prisoners were taken to the former sanatorium at Hartheim castle near
Linz, and murdered there with Carbon monoxide.

There were 30,000 registered deaths in the Dachau concentration camp.
Additional, thousands who were not registered were murdered in Dachau.
The prisoners died of starvation, sickness, exhaustion, degradation,
beating, and torture. They were shot, hanged and killed with
injections.

In 1942 a gas chamber was also built in the Dachau concentration camp,
but inexplicably, it was not used. It was located within the new
crematorium, a larger building whose construction with four ovens
became necessary when the first crematorium, which had only one oven,
proved inadequate.

That’s only those who entered the United States. Many more, such as the
Frank family, sought refuge from Nazism in neighboring countries, only
to be caught up in the vortex of Nazism when their new homeland was
invaded and occupied by the Nazis.

Nazi Germany believed that it is the obligation of the strong to crush
the weak, that the individual is the property of the state, and that
the state is the embodiment of the collective will of the nation.

Hence
– the undeclared, unprovoked invasion of smaller, weaker countries
(Luxembourg, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, and Norway were a threat
to Germany?);
– programs of mass sterilization and euthanasia;
– strict laws outlawing marriage and sexual congress between people
of different ethnicities;
– the application of laws legislated in Germany to deal with German
problems in the countries which the Nazis invaded, thus, for example,
the Nuremberg Laws and amendments which effectively criminalized both
Jewish/Aryan marriages as well as Jewishness itself were applied in
Nazi-occupied countries such as the Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia, and
Hungary.
– the intolerance for dissent, hence the concentration camps such as
Ravensbrück and Dachau, many of the inmates at which were political
opponents of the Nazi regime or individuals whose public or private
behavior or beliefs were regarded as “asocial” by the Nazis’
provincial understanding of the parameters within which a member of the
German “Volk” could vary.

First of all, it was not only black people that were rioting in
Seattle. Blacks, whites, and others behaved churlishly. Secondly, the
number of blacks that behaved churlishly was at most a few dozen. There
is no collective racial responsibility for a handful of punks. The vast
majority of the people of all races behaved properly at Seattle; it was
baby riot compared to the much more violent and much more white-fueled
WTO rioting, for which I don’t see you making any collective racial
charges, in the same city recently. Thirdly, the behavior of a few
dozen punks in one city on one evening has nothing whatsoever to do
with the historical legacy of slavery.

Free trade has greatly contributed to making the United States the
richest and most powerful nation in human history. It has allowed the
US to concentrating on doing best what it does best, while farming out
many less demanding and less profitable jobs to those who can do them
best. One important spinoff of free trade is that it has allowed
countries like Mexico to join the ranks of relatively wealthy and
technologically sophisticated nations, thus giving many Mexicans a
greater incentive to stay at home rather than try to enter the United
States legally or illegally. Without free trade the living standards
gap between the US and Mexico would be much greater than it is today,
with all of the attendant problems that would generate.

Benefits like Gestapo informers on every block, like having your family
history checked for Jewish ancestry, and, after 1941, like living in
fear that your home would be bombed, or that the males in the family
could be called up for military service in the East. Nazi family values
discouraged women from learning how to earn a livelihood, while
producing extraordinary numbers of young widows.

What glory does a country gain from invading and occupying countries
with the size or population of Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Denmark, or Norway? If nations interact with one another solely on the
basis of brute force applied when the other least expects it, we revert
to a world in which life is nasty, brutish, and short

Germany is too diversified a nation for it to be possible to speak of
any collective “will of the German people”. Nevertheless, the duly
elected members of the Bundestag represent a more accurate reflection
of how the Germans think as a nation than do the few hundred skinheads
who have been making life misreable for many residents of and visitors
to Germany.

Accepted norms of behavior in some countries have zero tolerance for
public exhibitions of idiocy. Any German can discuss the Holocaust or
take a revisionist view in a forum such as this, or in a scholarly
journal. Going out into the street and drumming “The Nazis did not use
gas chambers” is regarded with as much sympathy as publicly proclaiming
that Germany only lost WW II because it got some bad breaks.

> (1) Clinton was certainly a fancier of blow jobs

The Nazis had a track record of liking to kill people by gassing them,
cf. the euthanasia program. Clinton, if he is lucky, has had 1,000 blow
jobs in his life. The Nazis gassed tens of thousands of invalids,
mental patients, and deformed children within the space of a year. On a
more general level, Bill Clinton is a fancier of sexual activity just
as the Nazis, with their concentration camps, death camps,
Einstazkommandos, unannounced early morning sneak attacks, death
marches, pseudo-medical experiments, euthanasia programs, work-to-the
death regimes, typhus-ridden detention camps, inhuman transportstion
conditions, Buna diets, and gas chambers were fanciers of
exterminationist mass murder.

> (2) All the newspaper articles

There are more carefully edited academic publications, carefully
presented court trials, and physical evidence indicating that the Nazis
gassed both institutionalized patients and concentration camp inmates
than there are academic and popular publications demonstrating Bill
Clinton to have received oral sex from Monica Lewinsky.

> (3) Clinton’s weaseling on the witness stand – trying to make out that a blow
> job
> did not constitute sex

Accused Nazis such as Rudolf Höß, Hans Münch, and Adolf Eichmann not
only never denied the use of gassing, but also gave details when on
trial that only an insider could know. Various aspects of their
testimony were independently corroborated by surviving members of the
Sonderkommando, escaped concentration camp inmates, the suppliers of
Zyklon-B, and other evidence. In other words, there was so little hard
evidence for Clinton’s having been serviced by Monica that he saw fit
to risk his reputation by going into denial, while there is so much
overwhelming evidence for the Nazi use of gassing as extermiantionist
policy that none of the persons involved thought it possible to deny it
when on trial.

>

The fact that the term “Nazi” has become a symbol for extermination as
state policy, and that the reputation of Nazism, if not necessarily of
Germany, was destroyed for more than two generations because of it.
Several years ago a Frenchman who had murdered his wife in a fit of
rage pleaded to the court for mercy, and was accorded some sympathy,
because “she served him roast beef cooked like a Nazi would”.

> (5) The fact of children asking their parents: “Daddy, what’s oral sex.”

The fact that the children living in the vicinities of Auschwitz and
Hadamar knew what lay in store for the people being transported there.

The type of evidence you are using to decide that Bill Clinton had his
knob polished by Monica in the Oral Office is precisely the same kind,
although qualitatively and quantitatively much weaker, as what you are
rejecting as support for allegations that the Nazis were
exterminationist gassers.

But you do remember hearing about days and nights of rioting, and
millions of dollars in property damage. The Mardi Gras rioting was much
tamer, much more contained, much less violent, despite the unfortunate
death.

It’s the same development in all of the developed world. I’m writing
>from Finland, a highly developed industrial country, and we have
precisely the same development: production jobs and the high wages they
once generated are disappearing, service jobs are increasing.

Production jobs could only generate high wages when the pool of skilled
workers was small enough to justify such wages. Now that production has
become so computer intensive, the number of people needed is smaller,
while the pool of people competing for the continually decreasing
number of production jobs is larger. In the US, a lot of
labor-intensive production is farmed out to low wage countries such as
Mexico, or to low-wage states such as South Carolina or Mississippi.
Here in Finland, a high-wage country, labor intensive work is farmed
out to the low-wage Baltic countries, Poland, or Russia.

So, you are admitting that it’s not a problem of free trade, but rather
one of who has a claim on the profits thus generated. Those are two
very different issues.

The deficit shows that it’s free. The alternative is what Finland and
the USSR used to have: bilateral trade. Every five years an agreement
was drawn up: umpteen kazillion baggy men’s suits for so and so many
billion barrels of oil. No money was involved, neither was there any
incentive to improve the quality or quantity of goods traded. As soon
as the USSR collapsed, bilateral trade was tossed out of the window.

The US, with one of the highest standards of living in the world, seem

The UK had to go the free trade route because small, isolated economies
are unsustainable in Europe. They will be doing so rethinking, though,
when they clear up the hoof-and-mouth disease problem. The
industrialization of food production in the name of free trade has made
food cheaper, but also created the kinds of conditions which allow
diseases to spread among cattle in ways that would have been impossible
when agriculture was more isolated.

As to Mexico, my inderstanding is that the North American free trade
agreement has seen moderately high-tech factories employing hundreds of
thousands of mexicans spring up in the areas along the Mexicon border
and allowing Mexico to produced fairly sophisticated, labor-intensive
products for the American and Canadian market. The Americans and
Canadians gain, because the products can be produced at a more
favorable price using low-priced Mexican labor than they would
if-higher priced American or Canadian laor were used, while the
Mexicans earn wages which motivate them to stay at their jobs in Mexico
rather than seek to compete with Americans for the decreasing number of
industrial jobs in the US. The industrial jobs requiring the highest
degree of skills and generating the best wages and profits, such as
manufacturing jet aircraft, remain in the US and are lucrative enough
to justify the desire of corporations to want to specialize in this
area, where American know-how and labor efficiency remains supreme,
while allowing the simpler and less efficient jobs that require only an
eighth-grade education, simple skills, and a low level of technical
sophistication to be done by those who cannot do any better at the
going world-market wage.

In short, it’s a matter of what economists call added value. If there
is a demand for washing machines and jet aircraft and you have access
to supplies of glass, steel, rubber, and plastic, should you use your
labor force to build washing machines, jet aircraft, or both? It is so
much more profitable (that is to say, so much more value is added to
your raw material) to convert your raw materials into jet aircraft that
it is better to seel them and buy washing machines elsewhere than it is
to use your resources to satisfy the market for both products.

It is economic folly to use your raw materials and human resources to
produce low-value-added washing machines that are produced in abundance
and more cheaply elsewhere, if they can be used to produced high-value
added products such as jet aircraft, which are above all possible
competition.

The amount of money and energy that will be needed to keep the market
closed to imports will add further to the price of the expensive and
already non-competitive domestic products. The only real economic
weapon available as a defence against the price differential is
currency devaluation which, of course, would bring the price of the
domestic product closer to that of the competition, while also lowering
domestic living standards across the line.

The Soviet Union worked on the same principle. An artificially high
standard of living (everybody had virtually free housing and utlities,
enough for three meals a day, as well as free medical, dental, and
child care, in addition to heavily subsidized public transportation,
books, newspapers, magazines, and cultural events). This was achieved
by isolating the economy, conducting minimal foreign trade on a
strictly bilateral basis (“You send us so and so many million liters of
Pepsi-Cola, we send you so and so many million liters of Stolichnaya
vodka”), closing the borders to foreign-made and more competitive
products, trying to be as self-sufficient in everything as possible,
providing economically unjustified employment by dividing jobs that
could be done efficiently by one worker into smaller jobs that could be
done less efficiently by several workers, and preventing the import of
more competitive foreign-made products by making the currency
non-convertible and forcing the people to buy over-priced, increasingly
uncompetitive locally made products, automobiles being the best-known
example. A large number of Soviets were employed guarding the country’s
vast borders to keep foreign goods out and to keep Soviet citizens in,
adding vastly to the overhead of keeping the economy running.

This policy did untold economic damage, damage that Russia and the
other post-Soviet states have not been able to rectify, despite ten
years of economic freedom and billions in foreign aid. You do not seem
to understand that what you are recommending is a variant of the Soviet
system – that’s the “socialist” part. The Soviet system worked fairly
well – and might have worked even better if the USSR had not allowed
itself to get bogged down in expensive space races, arms races, and
influence races – as long as the world economy was production oriented.
As you say yourself, there is a huge overcapacity of productive
resources, and, as I emphasize, technologies that were the property of
only the most advanced countries a generation ago have now been
mastered by all but the least developed third world countries. The
economically most successful countries nowadays are the ones that have
oriented their primary production towards high value-added specialized
sectors, and then filled out the economy with service jobs, some of
which are, as you point out, dull and low paying (but somebody has to
swab the floors, clean the toilets, flip the burgers, and collect the
tickets), but many of which demand special skills and are thus better
paid – as long as those skills remain the monopoly of a small group
(witness the drop in salary for C++ programmers once it became clear
that twelve year-olds in Guatamala, India, and Ghana could learn it
quickly and expertly).

In our Scandinavian brand of socialism we have dealt with the paradox
of high corporate profits and an increasing number of low-paying
service jobs that you mention by using a draconic income redistribution
scheme. Millionaires are taxed to the hilt, while people in low-paying
jobs pay low taxes and are the beneficiaries of numerous social
services. Thus there are very few people here who are fabulously rich –
and they are in the 67% tax bracket – while there are virtually no
people unable to afford a relatively comfortable middle-class
lifestyle. This has guaranteed years of high living standards in all
five scandinavian countries, while exposing the market to healthy
foreign competition and encouraging the import of goods and services
that cannot be produced here efficiently in exchange for those that can
be.

Richard Phillips seems to think that a small, determined, and
leaderless coterie of dedicated white male, anti-female, anti-minority,
anti-Jewish “National Socialists” can pull off an overnight “palace
revolution” with surgical precision à la _Turner Diaries_. He thinks
that when push comes to shove, the government and armed forces will
split and defend what they perceive to be their racial interests, with
whites, specifically white men, suddenly becoming so united that they
will inevitably previal, rather than continue to be loyal to the
country they have traditionally served. He also thinks that people will
be eager to support a government that will voodoo the economy so that
that it can pay $25/h wages to people doing jobs worth $5/h so that
they can produce and buy domestic products at $25 a shot which cost $5
on the world market.

Correct. I’ve often been more sympathetic to Richard than many in this
group (I like his archaic and bombastic style), but I disassociate
myself with this claim. I have never commented on his debts or lack
thereof because they have not been germane to the topics we have been
discussing. Richard Phillips does have a sense of humor, one that I am
able to appreciate, but I would not regard accounts of bankruptcy and
escapes ion Greek tramp steamers with bilked creditors waving their
fists in the shadow of the Statue of Libery as examples of such.

I visted the USSR more than 20 times between 1966 and 1991, and lived
there, in Moscow, for a month during 1983. This was no longer wartime,
but rather a period of restructuring, reform, rethinking, and if not
“goulash communism” at least “borscht communism”. The USSR of the late
Brezhnev years, Chernenko, and Gorbachev was not a country of low
living standards, this applies particularly to the USSR of Brezhnev
prior to the idiotic invasion of Afghanistan. Living standards were not
high, but neither were they low. One serious problem was that there was
too much money chasing too few goods. The Soviet authorities were
paying relatively high wages (about $150 – $200/month at official
exchange rates), but they had enough sense to realize the economic
folly of adding minimal value to their raw materials by producing
washing machines that sold for 100 rubles but would be worth a third as
much of foreign-produced washing machines were allowed access to the
Soviet market. There was a surplus of funny money that could not be
used outside the USSR and a deficit of goods to spend it on.

I’m not talking about Stalinist policies, but rather about the policies
of the 1970s and 80s when the USSR could make a half-serious claim to
be a major player in the world economy.

That’s what’s happening now. Germany is by far the biggest investor in
Russia. The Japanese would like a fair whack at it, but they have
hard-headedly refused to play ball until Russians start negotiations
concerning the return of four humiliatingly occupied islets in the
Kurile chain.

You have evidently never been to modern glitzy, brash, vulgar Moscow, a
swinging city that makes Giuliani-governed New York City look like a
one-horse town. The Russians have demonstarted themselves to be a
people capable of doing all kinds of things, everything from mounting a
credible space progream (with some crucial help from captured Nazi
scientists and scientists in non-Russian republics), to producing
world-class literature (Pushkin, Dostoyevski, Tolstoy) and music
(Tchaikovski, Moussorgsky, Borodin, Glinka, Glazunov; Prokofiev,
Shostokovich; Ashkenazi, Richter, Mullova).

What you claim is true for the japan of the 1950s and early 60s that
was still recovering from defeat. By the late 1960s the Japanese had
figured out what they could do best and mist efficiently, and what they
would prefer to buy from others. By the 1970s those Sony and Hitachi
products were “Made in Japan, Assembled in South Korea”, by the 1980s
they didn’t even try to maintain the illusion: Made in South Korea,
Malaysia, Indonesia, now China.

Only after making more economically rational decisions concerning what
was best done at home, and what abroad, did Japan rise to become a
super-rich member of the industrial nations club: japanese captains of
industry understood that resource-poor Japan was not using its economic
power and resources wisely if it insisted on importing the raw
materials to Japan and exporting them as value-added products if the
alternative was establishing and managing plants closer to the markets
and/or sources of raw materials. That’s why nominally Japanese
automobiles are manufactured in the UK and the US today.

I’m for taxing them heftily, but not soaking them. There has to be some
incentive for them to work to amass riches. On the other hand, they
have some obligation to the society that has given them the
prerequisites and opportunities to become rich. This is understood here
in Finland, in the US, with amore individualistic way of thinking, I
get the impression that fewer people think hat their economic success
is as much a function of their hard work as it is of the society which
provides the frmaework within which they become rich.

It’s somewhat more complex. Resources-poor Japan was importing and
exporting, but the Japanese were masters at adding value to the raw
materials they were importing from the world and selling back to the
world as top-of-the line industrial products. For a long time they were
artifically protecting their economy so that they could offer lifetime
employment and keep unnecessarily large numbers of people employed in
agriculture. The yen was a seriously undervalued currency
internationally during the generation after the war. Thinking started
to change during the late 1970s: pressure from trading partners as well
as consumer protest against outrageous Japanese food prices opened the
economy to food exports, causing a drastic shake-out in Japanese
agriculture. Considerations of efficiency and profitability resulted in
the simpler industrial jobs being farmed out to lower wage countries.
The overall long-term interests of the country were thus met by
allowing greater exposure of the economy to the world market, while the
desire to preserve certain Japanese customs and traditions showed
itself weaker than the yen to make a profit.

page 31636, is:

When Hitler attacked the Jews I was not a Jew, therefore I was not

the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and
I was not concerned. Then Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church

Richard, this is not a question of belief, but rather one of drawing
conclusions “beyond reasonable doubt” on the basis of evidence
available.

I originally brought up the subject of Bill and Monica because there
exists, both qualitatively and quantitatively, far less evidence for
their having had a sexual encounter in the Oval Office or anywhere
else, despite the existence of the stained dress, than there does for
the Nazis having had a systematic plan to exterminate the Jews of
Europe, using, among other methodologies, CO and HCN gas in structures
and facilities specially designed and constructed for the purpose of
homicidal gassing.

Of course if you regard these issues as matters of belief, then there
is no argument. If, on the other hand, you regard them as issues the
factuality of which can be demonstrated or refuted, then you are
glaringly inconsistent and illogical in your interpretation of data.

Then he ought to change his style. He’ll get sent to the principal’s

doesn’t mean that he cannot take care of such problems more discretely

That was the number cited for German citizens and subjects that managed
to emigrate to the USA. Many more emigrated to neighboring countries,
many of which eventually fell to the Nazis. Those Aryan Germans who
emigrated to countries that eventually fell to the Nazi because they
were offended by the Nuremberg Laws or were in a mixed marriage that
they did not want the state to annul often wound up being charged with,
and convicted of, violating those laws.

Towards the end of the 1930s, the Nazis put increasingly heavy
impositions on Jews desiring to emigrate. Already deprived of their
livelihood or forced to sell their businesses to Aryans at a fraction
of their market value, prospective Jewish emigrants from Nazi Germany
were forced to pay extorionate prices for exit visas and forfeit
virtually all of their property and assets to the state in order to
leave the Reich. Adolf Eichmann fattened the Reich’s coffers with the
money and assests he was able to extort from Jews, many of whom were
originally German citizens who had sought refuge Czechoslovakia before
the Nazis invaded and partitioned that country, seeking to leave the
Reich at the Office of Jewish Emigration which he headed starting July
21, 1939.

On Oct. 23, 1941 all Jewish emigration from the Reich was forbidden. By
this time the systematic extermination of Jews in areas conquered by
the Nazis in Eastern Europe had been underway for several months, and
extermination centers were either under construction or in the final
phases of being designed. Thus, Chelmno extermination center opened for
business on Dec. 8, 1941, mass killings of Jews using Zyklon-B began at
Auschwitz-Birkenau in January, 1942, and Belzec extermination center
opened its doors in March, 1942. Majdanek, which had been operating
since July 1941 primarily as a facility for detaining and exterminating
members of the Polish middle and upper classes, began to receive Jews
for extermination in April, 1942. Indicative of a change in policy is
also the fact that 1,000 Berlin Jews were sent to Riga, arriving at the
Rumbula train station early in the morning of November 30, 1941 just in
time to be the first victims of a massacre which resulted in the
systematic mass shooting of approximately 24,000 inhabitants of the
Riga ghetto inaddition to these 1,000 Berlin Jews (see
http://www.vip.lv/LPRA/ezergailis.htm for details).

The Wannsee Conference, at which Nazi leaders met to coordinate the
Final Solution of the Jewish Problem in Europe, convened on January 20,
1942. Its notorious protocol
(http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/h-wannsee.htm) noted
that the Final Solution would affect the more than 11,000,000 racial
Jews still living in Europe as of that date, and that it would involve
both resettlement and a regime of forced labor that would result in the
“elimination by natural causes” of a large portion of the Jews
involved, with the survivors to be dealt with using “appropriate
measures” to ensure that a new generation of Jews would not arise to
avenge the deaths of their ancestors.

Rot! There is enough majority-on-minority violence in the US that many
members of minorities are quite attached to their guns.

My general impression – admittedly based on my perception of events
taking place several thousand miles away from where I am – is that the
largest group opposed to guns in the USA is American Womenhood, surely
no minority.

If the agenda of a national socialist government is anything like what
you say it will be, the citizenry will certainly want to retain the
possibility of interacting with it using means more effective than
peashooters if it is forced to buy $5,000 washing machines and $2,500
VCRs, and eat $25/lb. beef with $5/lb. potatoes when it knows that
similar products are available for a fraction of the cost in Mexico or
Canada.

Hitler’s ruling style involved oral orders given to his closest
associates with no written records:

<QUOTE>
It has been widely denied in Germany since the war that any but a
handful of Germans at the head of the S.S. knew of the scope or
savagery of these measures against the Jews. One man certainly knew.
For one man they were the logical realization of views which he had
held since his twenties, the necesary preliminary to the plans he had
formed for the resettlement of Europe on solid racial foundations. That
man was Adolf Hitler.
Himmler organized the extermination of the Jews, but the man in whose
mind so grotesque a plan had been conceived was Hitler. Without
Hitler’s authority, Himmler, a man solely of subordinate virtues, would
never have dared to act on his own. This was the subject of those
secret talks ‘unter vier Augen’ between the Führer and the Reichsführer
S.S. at which no one else (save occasionally Bormann) was allowed to be
present and of which no records survive. There are few more ghastly
pages in history than this attempt to eliminate a whole race, the
consequence of the ‘discovery’ made by a young down-and-out in a Vienna
slum in the 1900s that the Jews were the authors of everything that he
most hated in the world.
At a meeting of the entire party leadership at Berlin in May 1943,
Goebbels records, Hitler declared that ‘the anti-Semitism which
formerly animated the Party must again become the focal point of our
spiritual struggle.’
At the same time he added: ‘All the rubbish of small States still
existing in Europe must be liquidated as fast as possible. The aim of
our struggle must be to create a unified Europe: the Germans alone can
really organize Europe.'[1]

The Leuchter Report has been thoroughly debunked as pseudo-scientific
hogwash produced by an incompetent fool.

Here is some information about the methodological errors in Leuchter’s
pseudo-scientific hogwash:

Methodological error 1:
> “Thirty-one samples

Leuchter took core samples, when he should have taken scraping samples.
******************************************************************

Methodological error 2:
> were selectively removed from the alleged gas
> chambers at Kremas I, II, III, IV and V.

Krema I is a partial restoration and has undegone extensive
modification since it served as a gas chamber. Kremas II and III have
been exposed to the elements for the past 56 years, including extended
times partially submerged in water. Kremas IV and V exist only as
building foundations. Leuchter did not contact the Auschwitz Museum
officials and thus did not have access to the blueprints showing
precisely where the gas chambers, relatively small, were located in
these relatively large structures. His use of the word “selectively” is
thus a cover word for “from places that I was able to gain access to”,
since the sample collection (in this case vandalism) was done illegally
and without the proper architectural and historical documents.

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

Methodological error 3:
> A control sample was taken from delousing facility #1 at Birkenau.

His control sample is biased. If his objective was to detect and
measure cyanide compounds, his control sample should have been as free
as possible from such compounds and have been taken from a place that,
as far as is known, was never exposed to cyanide.
******************************************************************

Methodological error 4:
> The control sample was removed from a
> delousing chamber in a location where cyanide was known to have been used
> and was apparently present as blue staining. Chemical testing of the control
> sample #32 showed a cyanide content of 1050 mg/kg, a very heavy
> concentration.

Leuchter, who revealed at the Zündel trial that he has no understanding
of the different manners in which cyanide affects insects as opposed to
humans, did not understand that it takes higher concentrations of HCN
(approx. 16,000 ppm vs. 300 ppm) maintained over a much longer period
of time (20 hours vs. 15 minutes) to kill vermin than it does to kill
people (for details cf.
http://www.holocaust-history.org/auschwitz/chemistry/#iii).
******************************************************************

Methodological error 5:
> The conditions at areas from which these samples were taken
> are identical with those of the control sample, cold, dark, and wet.

The delousing chamber had not been exposed to the elements since 1944,
while Kremas II through V had been, this meaning that the conditions
for the decomposiiton of possible cyanide compounds were radically
different for the control sample as opposed to those taken from the gas
chamber sites.
******************************************************************

Methodological error 6:
> Only
> Kremas IV and V differed, in the respect that these locations had sunlight
> (the buildings have been torn down) and sunlight may hasten the destruction
> of uncomplexed cyanide.

Kremas II, III, IV, and V, each in their own way, had been exposed to
the elements. The cindiitons in them were thus radically diferent from
those of either the delousing chambers or Krema I.
******************************************************************

Methodological error 7:

> The cyanide combines with the iron in the mortar and
> brick and becomes ferric-ferro-cyanide or prussian blue pigmentation, a very
> stable iron-cyanide complex.

Stable, but soluble in connection with continued contact with water.
The ruins of Kremas II and III, as well as the foundations of Kremas IV
and V have all been in contact with water, sometimes being submerged
weeks at a time, since 1944. The delousing chamber and Krema I have not
been subjected to water.
******************************************************************

Methodological error 8:

> “The locations from which the analyzed samples were removed are set out
> in Table III.
> “It is notable that almost all the samples were negative and that the
> few that were positive were very close to the detection level (1mg/kg); 6.7

Leuchter, not understanding that the concentrations of HCN needed to
kill people need be no higher than 300 ppm does not understand that,
his methodological errors notwithstanding, these figures are consistent
with the structures in question having been used as homicidal gas
chambers.
******************************************************************

Methodological error 9:

One would expect the delousing chamber to have a much higher reading
than the former gas chamber on the basis of both the concentration and
timeframe needed to kill vermin as opposed to insects, as well as on
the basis of the different histories of the structures in question
since 1944. The claim about the traces of Zyklon B at the Kremas
resulting from all the buildings having been deloused at one time with
Zyklon B is also in contradiction with the conclusion that many of the
readings were negative. If all the buildings had been deloused, we
would expect more consistent minimal readings. If, on the other hand,
portions of Kremas II and III had been used as gas chambers, while
others had not, we would expect readings more in accordance with what
Leuchter found.

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

Here is a section from Richard J. Green’s critique of the Leuchter
report (source:
http://www.holocaust-history.org/auschwitz/chemistry/#v) showing that
it is pseudo-scientific hogwash:

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, were forged by the CIA or other unspecified
conspirators. 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. Lüftl
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:

[Lüftl] 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, Lüftl 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 Lüftl 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 [der gröste Teil] 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 gröste Teil der Blausäure 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
Majdanek 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 that
suggestion is possible. I have shown that if Rudolf’s explanation for
the presence of Prussian blue in the delousing chambers is correct that
its formation in the gas chambers would have been unlikely at best. 80
Alich et al. have shown that this method of Prussian blue formation is
extremely sensitive to concentrations, pH, presence of water, and the
presence of Fe (III) that is already complexed with cyanide.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 [Maître
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 counterassertion demands the same kinetic
arguments that the deniers are unable to produce.

Here is some information on Leuchter’s incompetence and foolishness:

Lipstadt Takes On Leuchter
via Nizkor

The Denier crowd often claims they’ve presented some “irrefutable”
answer to mainstream historians or that the same historians refuse to
answer their “analysis.” These claims are false.

Lipstadt discusses the demolition of Fred Leuchter’s qualifications as
an
“expert” at the trial of Zündel:

“With the jury out of the room, the court began to determine Leuchter’s
qualifications as an expert witness. When the Crown Counsel questioned
him about his training in math, chemistry, physics, and toxicology, he
acknowledged that his only training in chemistry was “basic …on the
college level.” The only physics he had studied likewise consisted of
two courses taken when he was sutdying for a bachelor of arts (not
sciences) degree at Boston University. Admitting that he was not a
toxicologist and had no degree in engineering, he rather cavalierly
dismissed the need for it.<36> To this the judge responded sharply:

THE COURT: How do you function as an engineer if you don’t have an
engineering degree?

THE WITNESS: Well, I would question, Your Honour, what an engineering
degree is. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree and I have the required
background training both on the college level and in the field to
perform my function as an engineer.

THE COURT: Who determines that? You?<37>

Throughout the trial [the judge] made it clear that he was appalled by
Leuchter’s lack of training as an engineer as well as his depreciation
of the need for such training. The judge was particularly taken aback
by
Leuchter’s repeated assertions that anyone who went to college had “the
necessary math and science” to be an electrical engineer and to conduct
the tests that he conducted at Auschwitz.<38> The judge ruled that
Leuchter could not serve as an expert witness on the construction and
functioning of the gas chambers. The judge’s findings as to Leuchter’s
suitability to comment on questions of engineering was unequivocal:

THE COURT: I’m not going to have him get into the question of what’s in
a brick, what’s in iron, what is in – he has no expertise in this area.
He is an engineer because he has made himself an engineer in a very
limited area.<39>

Unknown to the court, Leuchter, who admitted under oath that he had
only a bachelor of arts degree, was not being entirely candid regarding
his education. Implying that an engineering degree had been unavailable
to him, he told the court that when he was a student at Boston
University, the school did not offer a degree in engineering. In fact
it did, three different kinds.<40> Later in the trial, when the jury
returned to the room, Zündel’s lawyer and Leuchter obfuscated the
paucity of his training:

Q. And you are, I understand, a graduate of Boston University, with a
B.A. in a field that entitles you to function as an engineer. Is that
right?

A. Yes, sir.<41>

That field was history.

Leuchter was also less than candid about his methodology. He repeatedly
asserted that he obtained the “bulk” of his research material on the
camps
– including maps, floor plans and “original blueprints” for the
crematoria
– from the official archives at Auschwitz/Birkenau and Majdanek. He
testified that these drawings and blueprints played a far more important
role in shaping his conclusions than the samples he collected at the
camp.<42> After the trial Kazimierz Smolen, the director of the
Auschwitz museum, unequivocally denied that Leuchter had received any
plans or blueprints from the museum.<43> He may have procured tourist
materials sold in the official souvenir kiosks in the camps….

…

As citations from Leuchter’s report were read, the judge’s impatience
intensified. He characterized Leuchter’s methodology as ‘ridiculous’ and
‘preposterous.'<46> Ruling that ‘this report is not going to be filed,’
the judge dismissed many of his conclusions as based on ‘second-hand
information.’ He refused to allow Leuchter to testify about the impact
of Zyklon-B on humans because he was neither a toxicologist nor a
chemist and had never worked with the gas.<47> Again and again the
judge kept coming back to Leuchter’s capabilities and credibility:

THE COURT: His opinion on this report is that there were never any
gassings or there was never any extermination carried on in this
facility. As far as I am concerned, from what I have heard, he is not
capable of giving that opinion…. He is not in a position to say, as
he said so sweepingly in this report, what could not have been carried
on in these facilities.<48>

On the question of the functioning of the crematoria, despite the
defense attorney’s opposition, the judge’s decision was unequivocal. He
could not testify on this topic for a simple reason.

THE COURT: He hasn’t any expertise.<49>

The judge might have been even more irritated had he known that Leuchter
misrepresented the extent of his familiarity with the operation of
hydrogen cyanide. He told the court that he had discussed matters
relating to the gas with the largest U.S. manufacturer of sodium
cyanide and hydrogen cyanide, Du Pont, and that such consultation was
‘an on-going thing.’ Leuchter was again being less than accurate. He
may have obtained Du Pont’s published guidelines about the care needed
in using hydrogen cyanide or any other of the myriad of substances the
company manufactured. But Du Pont, denying Leuchter’s claims of ongoing
consultations, stated that it had ‘never provided any information on
cyanides to persons representing themselves as Holocaust deniers,
including Fred Leuchter. Specifically, Du Pont has never provided any
information regarding the use of cyanide at Auschwitz, Birkenau, or
Majdanek. <50>

But it was not only Leuchter’s scientific expertise, or lack thereof,
which was questioned by the court. The judge also expressed serious
doubts about Leuchter’s historical knowledge, which, as it emerged at
the trial, was limited and often flawed. Leuchter was unaware of a host
of documents pertaining to the installation and construction of the gas
chambers and crematoria. He did not know of a report filed in June 1943
by the Waffen-SS commandant of construction at Auschwitz on the
completion of the crematoria. The report indicated that the five
crematoria had a total twenty-four-hour capacity of 4,756 bodies.<51>
Leuchter had stated that the crematoria had a total capacity of 156
bodies in the same period of time.
<52> Even if the SS’s calculation was overly ‘optimistic,’ the
difference between it and Leuchter’s was staggering. He also had to
admit that he did not know that there existed correspondence and
documentation regarding powerful ventilators installed in the gas
chambers to extract the gas that remained after the killings. After
hearing these and other admissions by Leuchter, Judge Thomas expressed
his dismay that Leuchter had reached his conclusions despite the fact
that he had only a ‘nodding acquaintance’ with the history of the gas
chambers. To suggest that he had any more than that,
the judge declared, would be an insult.<53>” (Lipstadt, 164-167)

Even in history, the field in which Fred Leuchter gained his degree, it
seems he lacks expertise. As an engineer, he is clearly unqualified to
submit opinions to the court or anyone else.

… and regarding Leuchter’s shakedown scam:

“On July 20,1990, Alabama Assistant Attorney General Ed Carnes sent a
memo to all capital-punishment states questioning Leuchter’s
credentials and credibility. Carnes stated that not only were
Leuchter’s views on the gas-chamber process “unorthodox” but that he
was running a shakedown scheme. If a state refused to use his services,
Leuchter would testify at the last minute on behalf of the inmate,
claiming that the state’s gas chamber might malfunction <68>. According
to Carnes, Leuchter made ‘money on both sides of the fence’ <69>.
Describing Leuchter’s behavior in Virginia, Florida, and Alabama,
Carnes observed that in less than thirty days Leuchter had testified in
three states that their electric-chair technology was too old and
unreliable to be used. In Florida and Virginia the federal courts had
rejected Leuchter’s testimony as unreliable. In Florida the court had
found that Leuchter had ‘misquoted the statements’ contained in an
important affidavit and had ‘inaccurately surmised’ a crucial premise
of his conclusion <70>. In Virginia, Leuchter provided a death-row
inmate’s attorney with an affidavit claiming the electric chair
would fail. The Virginia court decided the credibility of Leuchter’s
affidavit was limited because Leuchter was ‘the refused contractor who
bid to replace the electrodes in the Virginia chair'<71>.” (Lipstadt,
170)

First, Alex, I want to thank you for having been courteous enough to
comment in a reasonable manner on my posting and not just post some
quotes from _Mein Kampf_. I know we disagree on just about everything,
but I appreciate the effort you took to express your viewpoints.

Criticism of the Leuchter report has been raised by the Canadian court
system, the British court system, chemists such as Mr. Green, author of
“The Chemistry of Auschwitz”, the Cracow Forensic Institute, and, last
but not least, David Irving himself.

Nevertheless, some of them had some cyanide, while others did not.
Finding cyanide in some places but not others is inconsistent with
Leuchter’s unfounded claim that the cyanide is the result having once
been deloused. Instead, it indicates that cyanide was used in some
parts of the building, but not in others.

It is not a fake at all. The building has a complex history. It was
once a morgue, then a gas chamber, then an air-raid shelter, now a
museum with many of the modifications that were made when it was
transformed from a gas chamber to an air-raid shelter removed, and many
of the gas chamber features that had been removed and placed in storage
restored. If it’s a “fake”, then any object or place which has been
museumified in good faith is a fake. I hope you appreciate the
absurdity of your claim. The bottom line is that gassings did take
place in Krema I, and even Leuchter found traces of HCN compunds there
which are consistent with this claim.

No. We have deportation records and train transport records of the
number of people (not just Jews) being sent to Auschwitz, as well as of
the number of people actually being signed into the camp. Until the
action against Hungarian Jews started in early 1944, the gas chambers
were being used on a regular basis, but nothing close to 24/7. A few
trainlaods of a few thousand a day at most, sometimes fewer, sometiems
more; a few gassings per day in some of the chamber at II and III, and
then later IV and V as well.

They were “huge” in the sense that they could accommodate hundreds of
people; they were “relatively small” compared to the entire building of
which they were only a component. A Boeing 747 is a huge airplane, but
it is relatively small compared to the airport at which it lands.

No.

The “as we are told” is not an argument. There are records of the times
when the gas chambers were and were not being used. A gassing involved
the doors being closed for 30 minutes, after which the premises were
ventilated, cleared of bodies, and hosed down to rid the room of the
body fluids that necessarily accompanied an operation of this type. A
delousing involved the doors being closed for 20 hours, after which the
premises were ventilated, but not hosed down. The physiochemistry of
cyanide compound formation is complex, and I am not qualified to speak
about it except for pointing out the obvious fact that: the conditions
for HCN compound formation and retention on:
a) the internal walls of intact structures that were subjected over a
four year period between 60 and 56 years ago to 20 hour periods of
exposure to 16,000 ppm concentrations of HCN followed by a a few hours
of ventilation and then a new load, and
b) the once internal but now long exposed walls that were subjected 30
minute periods of exposure to 300 ppm concentrations of HCN followed by
a brief ventilation and a hosedowm and a considerable interval between
the next load,
are necessarily going to be radically different.

As an analogy, consider the walls of a room at a bar where cigars were
smoked on a continuous basis over several years, after which the room
was sealed and forgotten, as opposed to the walls of a room where
cigarettes were occasionally smoked, after which the room was destroyed
in an earthquake and left to lie in ruins for half a century.

Neither is it proof that they didn’t have. Mastery of the technique of
delousing by Zyklon-B logically includes mastery of the technique of
killing people by Zyklon-B.

The Germans had more than eight weeks to dispose of the evidence. Even
if they had not gone to a special effort to dispose of the evidence,
you don’t think they would have had corpses from the last gassings at
Auschwitz, which took place in mid-November, 1944, still lying around
when the camp was liberated in mid January, 1945.

The recently discovered excavations at the site of the Belzec
extermination center indicate the existence many unburned human
remains. If some of these remains are dug up and examined and found to
have no signs of disease or physical violence, then the conclusion will
surely be that they were the victims of gassing, as indicated by the
historical record.

The delousing chambers and Krema I had not been exposed to the elements
since 1944, Kremas II, II, IV, and V had. Cyanide compounds are not
impervious to the influences of water and humidity.

Not at all. Leuchter made the unsubstantiated claim that the traces of
cyanide on the walls (he didn’t mention the ventilation) were
consequence of delousing of the structures carried out “once, long
ago”. This conveniently neglects three important points:

1. If they were consequences of delousing, we would expect a record of
this in camp archives. No such records have been found.
2. If they were consequences of delousing, we would expect a more even
distribution in the buildings which housed the gas chambers. In some
places there are obvious traces, in others there are none.
3. Since delousing requires a far higher concentration of and a longer
exposure time to HCN, there is nothing to preclude these compounds
being the consequences of gassing.

What you wrote above is nonsense.

You need 16,000 ppm sustained over 20 hours to kill lice, but only 300
ppm sustained over 15 min. to kill people. Exposures (concentrations
maintained over a specific timeframe) that kill lice always kill
people, exposures that kill people never kill lice.

Unlike you, I am not a propagandist, but rather am working with extant
historical evidence. The historical evidence reveals that there was an
orally given “Führerbefehl” to kill Jews, and that this was announced
and discussed at the police school at Pretzsch, Saxony, where the
Einsatzkommandos were being trained in advance of the attack on the
USSR on June 22, 1941. Hitler’s dictatorial style of government relied
on orally given commands, there is nothing that we can do about it.
There is no written authorization from Hitler to construct a network of
concentration camps, either, yet they are there.

<QUOTE>
The Nazi agencies responsible for the killing of the Jews in Latvia
started a misinformation program about the killing even before the
killings took place. Hitler’s refusal to attach a signature to his
order is an early indication. Thus a vacuum of information was created
at the very top. The paper trail, as to who ordered whom, was broken,
and that has allowed for a variety of interpretations ever since. As
there were no written orders from above to the commanders of the
Einsatzgruppen, so there were no written orders from the commanders of
the Einsatzgruppen to the commanders of the Einsatzkommandos or any of
the subsidiary Sicherheitspolizei und SD (in the future referred to as
Security Police and SD or simply as SD) units: Teilkommandos,
Schiefikommandos, Rollkommandos. Nor are there any written orders from
the German commandos to the Latvian commandos or police forces. The
irony is that the rules of omerta held firm for orders and information
flowing down, but the system broke down in the flow of information from
the field to the Main Office of Security Police and SD in Berlin, the
Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA). Owing to the breakdown of secrecy, we
have inherited the Ereignismeldungen (EM) (frequently translated as
Situation Reports), summaries of the Einsatzgruppen daily activities.
In addition to the Ereignismeldungen there are also the two
Stahlecker’s Consolidated Reports (15 October 1941 and 30 January 1942)
that reveal the murderous Nazi design in Latvia.
</QUOTE>

The historical record tells us that the day after the invasion of the
Soviet Union began, Stahlecker told German policemen in Tilsit that
their task was to subject nearby Lithuanian Jews and suspected
Communists to “special treatment,” which they proceeded to do. On July
28, 1941 Himmler issued a written order to shoot all “racially inferior
and criminal elements” in the marsh areas. [1] The Nazis employed both
labels as standard descriptions for Jews.

[1] Justiz und NS-Verbrechen: Sammlung deutscher Strafurteile wegen
nationalsozialistischer Tötungsverbrechen, 1945-1966, 22 vols.
(Amsterdam, 1979), 20: 304-5.

Source: http://www.quesnelbc.com/electriczen/documents/introduction.html

The Shooting Was Efficient, But Other Methods Were Tried

Himmler was a chicken as well as a chicken farmer. In July or August,
1941, Himmler visited Einsatzgruppe B where he witnessed a mass
shooting at Minsk. An eyewitness describing what happened during
Himmler’s visit to Minsk while watched the killing of a group of one
hundred Jews:

As the firing started, Himmler became more and more nervous. At each
volley, he looked down at the ground …. The other witness was
Obergruppenfuehrer von dem Bach-Zelewski…Von dem Bach addressed
Himmler: “Reichsfuehrer, those were only a hundred….Look at the eyes
of the men in this commando, how deeply shaken they are. Those men are
finished [“fertig”] for the rest of their lives. What kind of followers
are we training here? Either neurotics or savages.”

Arad, “Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka”, p. 8.

In reaction to the experience of watching 100 human beings murdered in
this fashion, Himmler ordered that a more “humane” method of execution
be found. (Reitlinger SS 183) Otto Ohlendorf explained in his testimony
at Nuremberg “That was a special order from Himmler to the effect that
women and children were not to be exposed to the mental strain of the
executions; and thus the men of the kommandos, mostly married men,
should not be compelled to aim at women and children.”

This order was first implemented with gas vans designed by Dr. Becker.
Later the terrible extermination camps, where millions of people were
gassed and starved, were established.

The infamous extermination camps were set up shortly after Himmler’s
visit to Minsk. The first of these was Chelmo which began gassing Jews
and others on December 8, 1941. Treblinka, Sobibor, and Madjadek
followed in the spring of 1942. Additionally the most famous
extermination camp, Auschwitz, began experimenting with Zyclon-B in
September, 1941. While mass gassings were conducted at Auschwitz in the
spring of 1942, the real work of mass extermination started with the
operation of “Bunker 2” on July 4, 1942 (D-VP 305)

There Is No Way to Rationalize and Justify These Crimes

There are some who would try to deny or justify the murders committed
by the Einsatzgruppen. The most benign explanation for this denial was
given by Justice Michael Musmanno — an experienced judge and hardened
combat veteran — who presided at the trial of the Einsatzgruppen.
Shocked and sickened by the evidence which he heard, Justice Musmanno
wrote:

One reads and reads these accounts of which here we can give only a few
excerpts and yet there remains the instinct to disbelieve, to question,
to doubt. There is less of a mental barrier in accepting the weirdest
stories of supernatural phenomena, as for instance, water running up
hill and trees with roots reaching toward the sky, than in taking at
face value these narratives which go beyond the frontiers of human
cruelty and savagery. Only the fact that the reports from which we have
quoted came from the pens of men within the accused organizations can
the human mind be assured that all this actually happened. The reports
and the statements of the defendants themselves verify what otherwise
would be dismissed as the product of a disordered imagination.

Judgement of the Tribunal, p. 50.
The crimes happened. No honest person can look you in the eye and state
otherwise. Why would someone deny these crimes, justify these crimes,
rationalize these crimes?

You tell me.

This is what I’ve been writing for the past year now. The Nazi gas
chambers were low-tech, inefficient, minimalist installations. Even
though the gas chambers used poison gas, the victims did not all die of
poisoning. Some suffocated, others were crushed in the pandemonium that
ensued when the victims realized what was happening.

A second consideration is that many of the victims were children and
babies. Small children and babies are able to survive longer periods of
oxygen deprivation than adults. On a pure time scale, they would have
been the ones most likely to die of gas but, on the other hand, due to
their small size, they are also the ones most likely to have been
crushed or trampled.

<QUOTE>
This chamber in Mauthausen was built in the basement, below the sick
quarters. It was completed and used by the spring of 1942. On the other
hand, the sick quarters were only half completed at war’s end. The SS
would cram 120 persons into this chamber, seal the doors and pump in
carbon monoxide. Inefficient as it was, the prisoners often died of
suffocation rather than the gas. ³Consequently, when the doors were
opened to remove the bodies, it was found that the dead were covered
not only with excrement and blood, but their eyes protruded from their
heads and their bodies stiffened into grotesque positions.² [1]

<QUOTE>

While she [= Deborah Lipstad, EH] is now a professor of Jewish and
Holocaust studies at Emory University in Atlanta, many Angelenos
remember her from the days when she was a professor of history at UCLA;
she subsequently served as director at Brandeis-Bardin Institute in
Simi Valley during the mid and late 1980s.

The charge of libel revolves around Irving’s claim that Lipstadt
defamed him, ruined his reputation, and, beyond that, is leading an
international Jewish conspiracy to destroy him. The defamation
occurred, he says, in Lipstadt’s 1993 book, “Denying the Holocaust: The
Growing Assault on Truth and Memory” published by Penguin Books.
According to Irving, Lipstadt charged him with “praising the internment
of Jews in Nazi concentration camps” and with skewing historical
accounts as well as misrepresenting “data in order to reach untenable
conclusions.”

In essence she accused him of falsifying history in order to deny that
gas chambers existed in Auschwitz, or that Hitler and the German
government systematically murdered Europe’s Jews during the Second
World War.

Debunking Holocaust denial:

Lipstadt Takes On Leuchter
via Nizkor

The Denier crowd often claims they’ve presented some “irrefutable”
answer to mainstream historians or that the same historians refuse to
answer their “analysis.” These claims are false.

Lipstadt discusses the demolition of Fred Leuchter’s qualifications as
an “expert” at the trial of Zündel:

THE COURT: How do you function as an engineer if you don’t have an
engineering degree?

THE COURT: Who determines that? You?<37>

Q. And you are, I understand, a graduate of Boston University, with a
B.A. in a field that entitles you to function as an engineer. Is that
right?

A. Yes, sir.<41>

That field was history.

…

On the question of the functioning of the crematoria, despite the
defense attorney’s opposition, the judge’s decision was unequivocal. He
could not testify on this topic for a simple reason.

THE COURT: He hasn’t any expertise.<49>

But it was not only Leuchter’s scientific expertise, or lack thereof,
which was questioned by the court. The judge also expressed serious
doubts about Leuchter’s historical knowledge, which, as it emerged at
the trial, was limited and often flawed. Leuchter was unaware of a host
of documents pertaining to the installation and construction of the gas
chambers and crematoria. He did not know of a report filed in June 1943
by the Waffen-SS commandant of construction at Auschwitz on the
completion of the crematoria. The report indicated that the five
crematoria had a total twenty-four-hour capacity of 4,756 bodies.<51>
Leuchter had stated that the crematoria had a total capacity of 156
bodies in the same period of time. <52> Even if the SS’s calculation
was overly ‘optimistic,’ the difference between it and Leuchter’s was
staggering. He also had to admit that he did not know that there
existed correspondence and documentation regarding powerful ventilators
installed in the gas chambers to extract the gas that remained after
the killings. After hearing these and other admissions by Leuchter,
Judge Thomas expressed his dismay that Leuchter had reached his
conclusions despite the fact that he had only a ‘nodding acquaintance’
with the history of the gas chambers. To suggest that he had any more
than that, the judge declared, would be an insult.<53>” (Lipstadt,
164-167)

Even in history, the field in which Fred Leuchter gained his degree, it
seems he lacks expertise. As an engineer, he is clearly unqualified to
submit opinions to the court or anyone else.

… and regarding Leuchter’s shakedown scam:

“On July 20,1990, Alabama Assistant Attorney General Ed Carnes sent a
memo
to all capital-punishment states questioning Leuchter’s credentials and
credibility. Carnes stated that not only were Leuchter’s views on the
gas-chamber process “unorthodox” but that he was running a shakedown
scheme. If a state refused to use his services, Leuchter would testify
at the last minute on behalf of the inmate, claiming that the state’s
gas chamber might malfunction <68>. According to Carnes, Leuchter made
‘money on both sides of the fence’ <69>. Describing Leuchter’s behavior
in Virginia, Florida, and Alabama, Carnes observed that in less than
thirty days Leuchter had testified in three states that their
electric-chair technology was too old and unreliable to be used. In
Florida and Virginia the federal courts had rejected Leuchter’s
testimony as unreliable. In Florida the court had found that Leuchter
had ‘misquoted the statements’ contained in an important affidavit and
had ‘inaccurately surmised’ a crucial premise of his conclusion <70>.
In Virginia, Leuchter provided a death-row inmate’s attorney with an

Here is a section from Richard J. Green’s critique of the Leuchter
report (source:
http://www.holocaust-history.org/auschwitz/chemistry/#v) showing that
it is pseudo-scientific hogwash:

V. A Critique of the Forensic Reports

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

Jamie McCarthy has addressed this claim:

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…

Roessler comments further:

Now, der gröste Teil der Blausäure 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

the Sonderkommandos wore gas masks as a precaution. 73

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

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.

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.

Here is some information on Leuchter’s incompetence and foolishness:

Lipstadt Takes On Leuchter
via Nizkor

The Denier crowd often claims they’ve presented some “irrefutable”
answer to mainstream historians or that the same historians refuse to
answer their “analysis.” These claims are false.

Lipstadt discusses the demolition of Fred Leuchter’s qualifications as
an
“expert” at the trial of Zündel:

THE COURT: How do you function as an engineer if you don’t have an
engineering degree?

THE COURT: Who determines that? You?<37>

Q. And you are, I understand, a graduate of Boston University, with a
B.A. in a field that entitles you to function as an engineer. Is that
right?

A. Yes, sir.<41>

That field was history.

…

On the question of the functioning of the crematoria, despite the
defense attorney’s opposition, the judge’s decision was unequivocal. He
could not testify on this topic for a simple reason.

THE COURT: He hasn’t any expertise.<49>

Even in history, the field in which Fred Leuchter gained his degree, it
seems he lacks expertise. As an engineer, he is clearly unqualified to
submit opinions to the court or anyone else.

… and regarding Leuchter’s shakedown scam:

You are ignorant of history as well as of the manner in which
historical research is done. You can’t just demand a certain document
as proof of the historicity a specific event or policy. You have to
work with the evidence available to conclude what, most probably, did
or did not happen. There is no written Führerbefehl to kill the Jews of
Europe even though there is ample evidence that such an order was
issued orally to Himmler and Heyrich, and through them, once again
orally, to the Einsatzgruppen. There is abundant documentation
indicating that the killing of Jews and other “racially inferior
elements” in Europe was characterized by systematicity and
goal-orientedness and cloaked in disinformation.

There is also the undeniable and damning fact that more than ten years
before Hitler gained power he had stated quite clearly, grotesquely,
and publicly that his foremost on his policy agenda was the
annihilation of the Jews:

Source: http://www.pgonline.com/electriczen/annihilation.html

<QUOTE>
In 1922 Joseph Hell asked Hitler, “What do you want to do to the Jews
once you have full descretionary powers?” (1) Hitler, who until then
had spoken calmy and with measured words, underwent a total
transformation:

“His eyes no longer saw me but instead bore past me and off into empty
space; his explanation grew increasingly voluble until he fell into a
kind of paroxysm that ended with his shouting, as if to a whole public
gathering:

‘Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the
annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will
have gallows built in rows – at the Marienplatz in Munich, for example
– as many as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged
indiscriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they
will hang there as long as the principles of hygiene permit. As soon as
they have been untied, the next batch will be strung up, and so on down
the line, until the last Jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other
cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany
has been completely cleansed of Jews.’ ”

(1) Josef Hell, “Aufzeichnung,” 1922, ZS 640, p. 5, Institut für
Zeitgeschichte. The retired Major Josef Hell was a journalist in the
twenties and in the beginning of the thirties, during which time he
also collaborated with Dr. Fritz Gerlich, the editor of the weekly
newspaper Der Gerade Weg.

Fleming, Gerald. Hitler and the Final Solution. Berkely: University of
California Press. 1984. p. 17
</QUOTE>

Hitler had literally been caught with is pants down for having signed
the euthanasia authorization. Vaguely worded as it was, it still pinned
the ultimate responsibility for the mass murder of almost 100,000
German citizens on him. He was the object of national and international
opprobrium when Archbishop von Galen spoke out against the immorality
of the program in his famous sermon
(http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/galen.htm) of August 3, 1941:

Source: ibid.:
<QUOTE>

When I learned of the intention to transport patients from Marienthal
in order to kill them, I brought a formal charge at the State Court in
Münster and with the Police President in Münster by means of a
registered letter which read as follows: “According to information
which I have received, in the course of this week a large number of
patients from the Marienthal Provincial Asylum near Münster are to be
transported to the Eichberg asylum as so-called ‘unproductive national
comrades’ and will then soon be deliberately killed, as is generally
believed has occurred with such transports from other asylums. Since
such an action is not only contrary to the moral laws of God and Nature
but also is punishable with death as murder under section 211 of the
Penal Code, I hereby bring a charge in accordance with my duty under
section 139 of the Penal Code, and request you to provide immediate
protection for the national comrades threatened in this way by taking
action against those agencies who are intending their removal and
murder, and that you inform me of the steps that have been taken.”

I have received no news concerning intervention by the Prosecutor’s
Office or by the police…Thus we must assume that the poor helpless
patients will soon be killed.

For what reason?

Not because they have committed a crime worthy of death. Not because
they attacked their nurses or orderlies so that the latter had no other
choice but to use legitimate force to defend their lives against their
attackers. Those are cases where, in addition to the killing of an
armed enemy in a just war, the use of force to the point of killing is
allowed and is often required.

No, it is not for such reasons that these unfortunate patients must die
but rather because, in the opinion of some department, on the testimony
of some commission, they have become ‘worthless life’ because according
to this testimony they are ‘unproductive national comrades.’ The
argument goes: they can no longer produce commodities, they are like an
old machine that no longer works, they are like an old horse which has
become incurably lame, they are like a cow which no longer gives milk.

The sermon sent a shockwave through the Nazi leadership all the way up
to Hitler. As a result, on August 23, 1941, Hitler suspended Aktion T4
which had accounted for nearly a hundred thousand deaths by this time.

The Nazis pondered what to do about the Cardinal. They eventually
retaliated by arresting and then beheading three parish priests who had
distributed his sermon, but left the Cardinal unharmed to avoid making
him into a martyr.

However, the Nazi euthanasia program quietly continued, but without the
widespread gassings. Drugs and starvation were used instead and doctors
were encouraged to decide in favor of death whenever euthanasia was
being considered.
</QUOTE>

Once bitten, twice shy.

The euthanasia program was a dress rehearsal and trial run for the
Final Solution. As Prof. Ezergailis pointed out in the quote in my
“silly” posting, within the Final Solution the problem of
disinformation and obscuring chains of command was dealt with by using
orally issued general orders and codewords (“special treatment”,
“racially inferior elements”) when information was flowing in the
top-to-bottom direction. In the opposite direction, from the field to
the command centers to Berlin, on the other hand, we have numerous
documents demonstrating the existence of an organized and systematic
policy to kill the Jews of Europe. These include police records of the
case histories of Jews arrested and ultimately executed in Nazi
occupied Europe solely for the “crime” of being Jews (cf.
https://nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/places/ftp.py?places//estonia/usenet.9906),
as well as detailed military reports such as Stahlecker’s two
consolidated reports and the Jäger Report

———————————————————————-
In Kiev, difficulties that arose during the execution of a major action
of this type – particularly with regard to registration – were overcome
by the use of posters announcing that all Jews were to report for
resettlement. Although it was initially thought that the action would
only involve 5,000 to 6,000 Jews, more than 30,000 Jews reported, who
as a result of extremely efficient organization still believed they
were going to be resettled right up until the time they were executed.

Despite that fact that up to now a total of some 75,000 Jews have been
liquidated in this way, it has nevertheless become apparent that this
method will not provide a solution to the Jewish problem.

[Affidavit of Otto Ohlendorf]

1946/pp.596-603

<QUOTE>
11. I had about four weeks advance notice of the planned war against
Russia through Heydrich. The Einsatz Groups were staged in Pretz,
Saxony, and vicinity. After designated leaders of the Einsatz Groups
and Einsatz Commandos were gathered at Pretz and were informed of their
tasks on the occasion of the presence of the ,Chief of AMT I of the
RSHA, Streckenbach, by order of Heydrich. In the course of conference,
the Einsatz Groups and Commandos were given also the task of
liquidating in the Russian territories Jewish and Communist
functionaries in addition to the regular tasks of the Security Police
and the SD. According to a communication from Himmler, the Chiefs of
the Army Groups and Armies had been informed by Hitler about this
mission and ordered to aid in its accomplishment. When Himmler in the
late summer of 1941 spoke to the Commanders and men of the Einsatz
Group D and their Commandos in Nikolajev, he repeated this order and
added that neither the leaders nor the men who were to execute the
liquidation would bear responsibility of their own. Rather, he himself,
together with the Fuehrer, would bear the full responsibility for this
order and its execution. The Fuehrer was mentioned almost
parenthetically, whereas Himmler stressed his own responsibility.

12. The Einsatz Group D marched on or about 21 June 1941 from Duebin,
Saxony, to its readiness position at Piatra Neamst, Rumania, through
Hungary. Upon arrival in Piatra Neamst orders by the 11th Army were
ready for the departure of the first Special Commandos. In northern and
eastern boundary of the Einsatz space of the Einsatz Group D is marked
by the following cities.: Tschernowitz, Mogilew-Podolsk, Jampol,
Ananjew, Niko-lajev, Melitopol, Mariopol, Taganrog, Rostov. The space
expanded to the south to Odessa over Cherson and included all of
Crimea.

13. During the one year while I was Chief of the Einsatz Group D, the
Einsatz Commandos and Special Commandos reported to have liquidated
90,000 men, women and children. The vast majority of the liquidated
were Jews but there were also some Communist functionaries. It may be
that in connection with liquidations in Simferopol, there were also
gypsies among the liquidated or members of another tribe who were
considered as Jews. The liquidations were executed by the Commandos
within the space into which they had moved in accordance with orders
given them by the Army. For the preparation of liquidations in cities,
leading Jewish inhabitants were as a rule assigned to effect the
registration of the Jews. Upon registration the Jews were gathered at a
place under the pretext that they were to be resettled in another town.
Prior to the liquidations the Jews had to surrender their valuables to
the Commandos. Those selected for liquidation were either driven or led
to the place of execution. The graves were in general either antitank
ditches or natural crevices. In the Einsatz Group D the mass executions
took place regularly in the form of shooting by details. The shooting
by individuals was forbidden in Einsatz Group D, so that the men who
were to perform the executions were not faced with the task of making
personal decisions. The persons designated for liquidation were either
shot while kneeling or standing upright. Only the head of units or
specifically designated persons were permitted to give the coup de
grace to those persons who were not killed at once. These directives
were issued because I learned from members of Einsatz Groups from other
areas that in those areas mass executions were performed by individuals
who shot those persons designated for liquidation through the rear of
the neck while lying or standing upright. With this method emotional
apsets could not be avoided, however, either on the part of the victims
or on the part of those who performed the executions. I, therefore,
disapproved of this method. Immediately prior to the liquidation the
victims had to rid themselves of their outer clothing. The complete
undressing, which was partially customary in other areas, was likewise
forbidden in Einsatz Group D.

14. Whereas the Army in general did not exert any influence in the
liquidations, the Army had at Simferopol requested acceleration of the
liquidations and rendered corresponding assistance in that it furnished
trucks. Also, the Army officially did not make available liquidation
commandos from its own units, however, almost everywhere individual
execution commandos, for example, of the SHD or OT, participated in the
executions.

Austrian far-right leader sued

Haider: Facing court case

March 16, 2001
Web posted at: 2355 GMT

VIENNA, Austria — A prominent Jewish leader in Austria has sued
controversial far-right politician Joerg Haider.

Ariel Muzicant is suing after Haider made remarks — widely seen as
anti-semitic — at a meeting of the Freedom Party.

Haider, who led the party into a coalition government in 1999, has
previously praised some of Adolf Hitler’s policies and his SS troops.

Haider poked fun at Muzicant, head of Vienna’s Jewish Cultural
Community, in a joke about his first name, which is also the name of a
brand of detergent.

At the Freedom party meeting Haider remarked: “I don’t know how someone
called Ariel, can have so much dirt on his hands.”

Muzicant’s lawyer, Gabriel Lansky said: “This lawsuit aims first, to
clear Mr Muzicant’s reputation and second to achieve a verdict against
propaganda of any form of racism in Austria.”

Lansky added that an international treaty banning racism was signed by
Austria in 1972 and has the force of a constitutional decree.

An estimated 6,000 people gathered in the centre of Vienna on Friday
night to protest against the remarks.

“This demonstration is a very clear reaction to the breaching of taboos
by the far right,” said Silvio Lehmann, one of the rally’s organisers.

In a statement read to the protesters Muzicant claimed that “racism and
anti-semitism are once again being used in politics in Austria.”

Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel, who leads the People’s Party, described
Haider’s comments as ‘inappropriate’, but did not go as far as saying
they were anti-semitic.

The inclusion of Haider’s party in the government in February 2000 led
to EU sanctions against Austria.

Haider stepped down as party leader but the party still holds key roles
in the coalition government. The EU sanctions were lifted last
September.

You wrote once long ago that it was the Leuchter Report that caused you
to revise your views. Now that the Lechter report has been thoroughly
discredited even by a revisionist personality as prominent as David
Irving – who goes to pains to point out that he is not a Holocaust
Denier, but only a revisionist – what does your continued “non-belief”
in the Holocaust rest on now that basis for your original conversion
has
been shown to be as fraudulant as it is scientifically worthless?

The Holocaust was not just a Jewish thing. Gypsies, African-Germans,
Poles, homosexuals, pacifists, and others were also harassed,
sterilized, interned, dispossessed, enslaved, exploited, starved, shot,
hanged, and gassed for the “crime” of being what they were. The Jews
have been the most vociferous because the Holocaust was most clearly
directed at them and they suffered the greatest losses in absolute
human as well as material terms. They are not by a long shot the only
victims.

> Ordinary people are sick of hearing about the fucking Holocaust; so am I.

Ordinary people are sick of hearing about anything which causes them to
think about anything not directly related to their present coordinates
in space and time. That does not mean that issues of morality and
responsibility do not affect them, nor does it mean that slates can be
wiped clean whenever it is convenient from the standpoint of the man
with the eraser.

> Ordinary people are sick of the Jews’ moans and wails; so am I.

And what about your rather considerable and repeated moanings and
wailings about the demise of the good ole’ days? The days when men were
men, women were women, and minorities fawningly stayed “in their place”
in the hope that an occasional bone would fall their way.

> Ordinary people are sick of their political manipulations; so am I.

Jews participate in politics more as individuals than as Jews. For
example, two of my old college chums, the liberal Clintonite William
Galston (http://www.puaf.umd.edu/faculty/facultystaff/galston.html) and
the conservative Paul Wolfowitz
(http://www.sais-jhu.edu/faculty/profiles/wolfowitz.html), an important
behind-the-scenes figure in both Bush administrations, both Jews who
are prominent in national politics, are about as far from each other on
the political spectrum as it is possible to get.

> Ordinary people are sick of their shameless extortioneering; so am I.

Ordinary people who have been wronged generally stick to their guns
until justice is achieved. No matter what your personal beliefs about
the details of the Holocaust are, you do not deny that millions of Jews
that had nothing whatsoever to do with Germany were singled out for
harassment, enslavement, deportation, confiscation of property, and
liquidation by the Nazis in the countries Germany invaded, overran, and
occupied. There is no way on earth that the Jews of Norway, or Estonia,
or Ukraine, or Greece can be blamed for the problems, real or imagined,
that Germany was having with Jews nor were these problems of such a
nature as to justify the continent-wide destruction of Jewish
communities and everyone connected with them:

In Kiev, difficulties that arose during the execution of a major action
of this type – particularly with regard to registration – were overcome
by the use of posters announcing that all Jews were to report for
resettlement. Although it was initially thought that the action would
only involve 5,000 to 6,000 Jews, more than 30,000 Jews reported, who
as a result of extremely efficient organization still believed they
were going to be resettled right up until the time they were executed.

Despite that fact that up to now a total of some 75,000 Jews have been
liquidated in this way, it has nevertheless become apparent that this
method will not provide a solution to the Jewish problem.

</QUOTE>

Your ordinary people don’t care about these things, nor do they care
about the fact that women, who do most of the housework, do a lot of
necessary work which is uncompensated for and is not counted towards
their social security, nor do they care about the fact that the
trans-Atlantic slave trade amounted in a massive and violently
implemented transfer of human resources from one continent to the
other, with most of that wealth thus produced being pocket by people
other than those who produced it.

It’s nice to be an ordinary person. You can live a day-to-day existence
with the most important problem being whether “muds” are going to move
into the neighborhood, whether the factory production line is going to
be rationalized, or whether your daughter is secretly sleeping with a
moustachioed Moroccan with a ring through his nose. You don’t have to
take a stand on questions concerning the demands of hundreds of
thousands of former slave laborers who spent the best years of their
lives as slaves working 100 hour/week jobs for no pay on companies that
pocketed the fruits of their labor minus expenses for minimal room and
board and are now multi-billion dollar multinational concerns.

Closing one’s eyes to such problems will not make them go away, nor
will it silence those who were victimized.

The candidates are the result of a long and arduous system of
preliminary elections, aka primaries. At the first stage of primaries
you often get some pretty controversial characters: Pat Buchanan and
David Duke have been in the running. But the electorate eventually
figures out who is capable of winning and who isn’t, thus paving the
way for electable, plain vanilla types.

Politics (of the non-dictatorial persuasion) is the art of the possible.

He is absolutely correct. Compared to sources for studying, say, the
mass murders carried out by the Einsatzkommandos or even the gassings
carried pout within the framework of the T-4 euhansia program, the
amount of historical evidence pertaining to the gas chambers is meagre
and unreliable in the sense that it is never of the “smoking gun”
variety.

There is far too much independent and non-contradictory evidence for
the existence of Nazi gas chambers for their historical factuality to
be a matter for serious questioning. Sizes, dates of commissioning,
operating records, lethal agents used, architectural plans, dates of
decommissioning, all exist as historical records from which a
considerable of information can be gleaned. Nevertheless, the Nazis
went to considerable efforts to obfuscate their use of gas chambers,
this being as much a prophylactic to conceal their existence from their
indended victims as a means of destroying evidence once it became clear
that the 1,000 year Reich was destined to survive but twelve tumultuous
but murderous years.

Your problem seems to be with America. The subversives, aliens, and
multiculturalists constitute the largest set of Americans and are thus,
by default, the ordinary Americans. The more homogeneous American that
you retain in your mind and ideals as a static image from half a
century ago has gone the way of the hoola-hoop, the DeSoto, the 5¢
cigar, the high-school diploma as a ticket to lifetime employment, and
Hopalong Cassidy. It’s known as historical change and cultural
evolution.

The result of change and evolution is that living standards have never
been higher, and prosperity more widely distributed in American history
than is the case today. Never before have so many Americans been able
to aspire to become what they wanted to be without having to worry
about glass ceilings or discriminatory practices based on sex,
ethnicity, religious background, or sexual preference. The America of
today is close to the America many people were dreaming about back in
the 1950s when power and influence were much more concentrated in the
hands of self-serving and cloistered elites than is the case today.

Quite a lot, thank you. I did spend the first 20 years of my life in an
America that, more than is the case now, conformed to and was dominated
by ordinary white American values. Racial and ethnic minorities were
all but invisible in the media, and they, as well as women, were
allocated a certain, low tier in the job market. It was still somewhat
of a sensation that blacks, such as Jack Robinson, were allowed to play
major league sports. Jews, althought then already a powerful force in
New York City, Washington, and academia, enjoyed nowhere near the
amount of power, prestige, or influence that they have now.

In a very different way, Finland is a smaller and simpler model of the
America of the 1960s. Like the US, the Finland that I moved to during
the 1960s earned its livelihood primarily from industry – paper and
cellulose production, woodworking, shipbuilding, textiles – with a
strong, protected, and subsidized agricultural sector that kept the
countryside populated and the country not only self sufficient, but
actually swamped by overproduction of basic foodstuffs.

Now, Finland is a very different country from the US, in the absence of
large racial minorities or a history of institutionalized racism,
ethnic tensions follow linguistic (Finnish vs. Swedish vs. Sami
(Lappish)), region (east vs. west, north vs. south, capital region vs.
rest of country), and lifestyle (urban vs. rural). The political system
is based on proportional representation, so instead of having a
winner-take-all-system like you have in the states, all major interests
are always represented in accordance with the number of votes they are
able to get. This means that changes are less radical and based more on
compromise or consensus than in the US.

In any case, like the US, Finland has also evolved into a
multicultural, post-industrial society. The number of industrial and
agricultural jobs has dropped drastically during the past decade, and
Finland has become a country of immigration, with communities of
Somalis, Chileans, Vietnamese, Estonians, Gambians, Palestinians,
Russians, Chinese, Kurds, Afghanis, Albanians, yes, and ex-pat
Americans and Canadians of various types. In a population of 5,100,000,
more than 100,000 are foreign born, with the number rising rapidly.

EU membership opened the agricultural sector to competition. The family
farm became a thing of the past, but rationalized agricuture on an
industrial basis has enabled Finland to capture a few specialized
markets and even become a major agricultural exporter for the first
time in its history. Food prices have gone down in absolute terms, and
agricultural subsidies have mostly been phased out. The downside is
that the countryside is depopulating, and the country is no longer as
self-sufficient as it had once been in food.

As to industry, twenty years ago Finland’s main industrial exports,
paper and cellulose, sold for $0.60 a kilogram. Today its main
industrial export, mobile telephones, sell for about $1,500 a kilogram.
Its future export, information technology know-how, has a virtually
infinite $/kilogram price because it is intangible. Living standards
are higher here than ever before, the economy is diversified enough to
provide everyone with some reasonable type of qualification with a job,
and multiculturalism has made Finland a manufacturer and exporter of
bagels, pasta, and pelmeni in addition to diversifying the cityscape.

Although a simpler story than what has happened in the US, the
transition from a homogenous industrial society to a more multicultural
post-industrial society that we have experienced here is not all that
different from what has gone on in the United States. The bottom line
is that living standards in both countries have never been higher, nor
have the members of society every faced fewer barriers on their desire
to gain an education or marketable skills and then use them in the
marketplace.

Statistics, please! I visit the US once every year or two. Even areas
that were poor slums twenty years ago have now become “gentrified”;
peeople and groups that were just able to make ends meet a generation
ago are doing quite well. A clear majority of the American populaton is
living better now that it ever has in history, although I am willing to
concede that the lower-middle class white, Anglo-Saxon American male
who had a clear position of privilege two generations ago has become
more “ordinary” and has to compete on a more level playing field with
everyone else. White American Anglo-Saxon males are, however, a
numerically insignificant minority in the US population, somewhere in
the range of 10%. The number within this set that is lower-middle class
is much smaller.

My first bout of political activism was participation in a march on
washington for civil rights in 1958. We were demanding that all
Americans be allowed such things as the right to vote, the right of
access to public accommodations, and decent opportunities for
education. Those rights have been achieved. During the late 1960s
women, inspired by the success of the civil rights movmeent, agitated
for and eventually obtained the right of access to economic power and
other privileges that had been the monopoly of males up until then. For
me, the fact that Dr. Ruth Simmons, a woman and an African-American, is
about to assume the Presidency of an Ivy League University
(http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/2000-01/00-091.html),
is a positiove symbol of what these developments have led to; for you
it probably symbolizes everything that is wrong since it means that a
white Anglo-Saxon male has lost an opportunity for a position that
would have been his by default two generatons ago.

Millions of Americans who now have to compete for what they could
expect by default in the 1950s complain of loss of privilege. I shed
large, salty, crocodile tears for them. Many millions more, the
demographic group to have made the most progress at the expense of the
white American Anglo male being the American woman of any race or
ethnicity, are quite happy that the America they worked hard to create,
“with freedom and justice for ALL” (emphasis added), now exists.

No, Richard. It’s the way things _were_. Many people were opposed to
that state of affairs, including the largest disadvantaged group,
women. A lot of work was done, and not a few lives were sacrificed, to
change that system to something more equitible for as many people as
possible.

Believe me, that has been argued here. But nothing talks like results.

Finland is still self-sufficient, it is just no longer producing
mind-boggling agricultural surpluses – mountains of butter, pork, and
wheat – that cost an arm and a leg to store, but were produced at costs
so high that they are too expensive to export and far exceed the
country’s capacity to consume them.

That is a risk. Nevertheless, if you master a few critical sectors and
become the force defining the cutting edge, you have a resource that
others cannot match. With mobile telephones, the innovative high tech
comes from multinational teams working in or tied up with Finland,
while much of the actual manufacturing is done close to local markets
in Mexico, Estonia, China, etc.

High technologiy spins off new high technologies. The secret is to know
what you can do best, keep innovating, and farm out necessary work that
others can do more efficiently to those willing to do it for a
competitive price.

If they have rented all their lives, yes it is bad. On the other hand,
there are also property and business owners in places that become
gentrified, and they obviosuly gain. On the whole, “gentrification”
means adding value to an area, something which usually means long-term
benefits for most of those involved. When I was a kid our family lived
for some time in a housing project for WW II vets in Brooklyn, NY. The
project represented an improvement over the lower-middle class (but not
slum) neighborhood that had been there previosuy. The last time I was
in Brooklyn three years ago, I visited the area. The project is still
there, but it has been upgraded and actually looked half-way decent.
The surroundings had also been markedly improved. The area,
Gowanus/Cobble Hill, is only a fifteen minute subway ride to lower
Manhattan, and property values have developed to reflect this fact.

I stand by what I wrote. Women are no longer economically dependent on
men, this opening up entirely new vistas for what had long been the
largest economically disadvantaged group. Members of minorities are
also making it to the highest levels of powers because status is based
more on competence and performance than on connections and inherited
privilege. As far as African-Americans are concerned, approximately two
thirds are solidly middle class, homeowners with children who are or
will be attending college. This was unthinkable back in the 1950s when
many were still functionally illiterate.

That was his illusion. It was a country created where everyone was
considered to have specific inalienable rights and to be equal before
the law. Even if these ideals initially applied to white men of
Anglo-Saxon background, it was implied that they were supposed to
eventually apply to everyone. Since the territory the United States was
able to acquire for itself was far larger than the pool of white Anglo
men available to work it, other people had to be brought in to provide
assistance and the ideals on which the country was based had to be
extended to them as well. You might call it a trade-off: in exchange
for the human resources needed to develop “his” country, the white
Anglo male had to extend the pool of people to whom its ideals applied.
Without the inpout of slaves and immigrants, the United States would
probably have remained little more than a coastal strip of land from
Maine to Georgia.

Of course my account is a massive simplification, but the problem of
slavery, the historicity of the Civil war, as well as the struggles for
civil rights, Indian rights, women’s suffrage, women’s rights, and
immigration reform, all of these major and defining issues in American
history over the past two centuries, were all ultimately successful
challenges to claims that the United States was a “white man’s”
country. If you bite off far more than you can chew, you have some
obligations to the folks who help you deal successfully with your
problem.

That is a minority within a minority. Neither can the abandonment of
inner cities – a trend which has undergone a strong reversal during the
past decade – be laid solely at the foot of the black underclass. Lack
of opportunities in the economic mainstream, economic speculation
(including insurance fraud), as well as hypocritical and asinine
policies towards brown as opposed to white cocaine are also to blame.
For every inner city slum there are middle and upper middle class
suburban neiughborhoods which are partially or mostly black where
people go to great effort to maintain their houses and keep their
neighborhoods as clean and safe as possible. My parents have lived for
the past 40 years in the Hollis-St. Albans section of Queens (where
Colin Powell grew up), one of numerous such areas.

At different times and in different eras American Indians, Dutch
speakers, Irish, Eastern European Jews, and Italians were also accused
of making cities uninhabitable. Things were eventually worked out, as
is happening in many American cities today.

This is a minority within a minority within a minority. You return to

people. They still have to look at George Washington’s countenance
every time they handle a dollar bill or a quarter.

Here I agree with you 100 per cent. But, hey, anyone can be an ignorant
fool. Prudency and the knowledge that word “niggardly” is perniciously
close to the “n-word” might cause a discrete person to use it with
caution. If there ever was a tempest in a teapot…

False!

Ford and Chrysler are among the American firms with German subsidiaries
that have been demonstrated to have made extensive use of Jewish slave
labor at their production plants in Germany during the Holocaust
period.

The role of IBM as a supplier of information technology which made it
easier to identify Jews after it was known that the Nazis were using
this information to intern and murder Jews in occupied Europe is
currently being investigated.

False!

It is a quintessentially American issue. America has provided a home
for hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims, and it played a key
role in the continent-wide operation that was necessary to halt the
Holocaust, contributing hundreds of thousands of sacrificed American
lives to do so. America is, its problems notwithstanding, an example of
a successful multiracial and multicultural society. The Holocaust
serves as an instructive and frightening example of the depths to which
a seemingly civilized society can fall if it falls under the control of
people whose world view is based on intolerance, virulent racism,
cultural monolithicism, and misanthropy.

Millions of Americans, including yourself, lost relatives, loved ones,

You, too, might be eligible. Have you ever done any research on the
branches of your family that stayed behind? Have you ever thought how
different your life might be if you had a relationship with the
children and grandchildren of your relatives in the Odessa area who
were killed by the Nazis?

If the Holocaust didn’t happen how do you explain the fact that during
the fall of 1941, Einsatzgruppe C systematically disposed of more than
70,000 Jews in Ukraine. The Germans marched into Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk,
Odessa, Karkhov, Ustanovka, Serniki, Lvov, and other locations,
announced that Jewish property and homes were being confiscated by the
invaders, and that Jews were to gather at certain points for
“resettlement”, after which they were taken to specific locations,
usually, ravines or pre-dug graves just outside the city, and shot.
There are literally thousands of military and other records, including
photographs, newsreels, propaganda films, and mass graves attesting to
this having happened, not to mention the fact that the Ukrainian branch
of your extended family no longer exists.

You shouldn’t take this lightly. You are a Holocaust victim. You were
deprived of your relatives back in the “Old Country” as a consequence
of the policy followed by the Nazis in the invaded and occupied
Ukraine. In the unlikely but not impossible event that you had been in
Ukraine visiting relatives in 1941 you would almost certainly have been
pushing up daisies for the past sixty years.

The record shows that the Polish Prime Minister, a major international
news service, and CODOH have put their reputations on the line by
claiming that the excavations did indeed take place and that they
yielded some concrete evidence, see
http://www.codoh.com/newrevoices/ncrowell/nrvscbelzecdig.html for
details.

I’ve posted the article dealing with the exhumation of the Jeckeln-type
graves at Ustinovska and Serniki
(https://nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/places/ftp.py?places//ukraine/serniki-exc
avations) by Prof. Richard Wright and his team of forensic
archeologists more than once here. You are certainly speaking in the
face of the facts if you claim that these exhumations, the evidence
produced by which was used in an Australian trial, never took place.

Nazi military photographers took pictures and films gruesomely
documenting the implementation of the Final Solution when it was still
being done publicly, see e.g. http://www.shoa.de/einsatzgruppen.html.
The public relations disaster of mass shootings of Jews and Gypsies in
Nazi-occupied countries in full view of local populations unconvinced
that they would not be the next victims, as well as the gradual
realization that the war would not be over in three months, eventually
resulted in a revision of methodology as well as in a reconsideration
of what information was better left concealed or obfuscated. I have
seen dozens of pictures and films of the mass shootings committed by
the Einsaztkommandos as well as a few photographs of people being
gassed within the euthanasia program. I only remember having seen a
single picture of a gas chamber door being opened with the bodies of
people just gassed grotesquely packed against the door. I seem to
remember that there is a research archive in Koblenz open only to top
researchers where the photoraphic and filmatographic evidence of these
most concrete aspects of the Holocaust is stored.

In any case, during the summer and early fall of 1941, when most of
these pictures and films were made, the Nazis thought that winning the
war would be a cinch, and they certainly wanted to document the steps
leading to their victory. From the standpoint of the Nazi ideology of
this period, the films and pictures in question were seen as
documenting the long-awaited physical annihilation of the implacable
enemy of the Aryan race. Mass murders were something to write home
about, and the records of them were something to save for posterity.
