Nizkor has set up a dossier on me where some of my postings are stored. If
you post to alt.revisionism frequently enough, one will be established for
you as well if the Nizkor gatekeepers judge your input to be of more then
ephemeral value. This is done solely on their initiative, since one of
their objectives is to document dialog pertaining to the Holocaust and its
denial. I have never explicitly contributed anything to the Nizkor
project, but some of my postings are deposited there, as I knew they would
be if I continued to contribute to alt.revisionism.

I have *never* called the occupied Baltics “socialist paradises” and I am
certainly aware of the existence of the network of Soviet gulags. In
conjunction with the first Soviet colonization of the Baltics in 1940-41,
tens of thousands of “class enemies” were killed by the Soviet
authorities. During the Nazi colonization between 1941 and 1944 a total of
more than 200,000 natives of the Baltic countries were murdered for being
Jews, Gypsies, or supporters of anti-Nazi movements and ideas.
Additionally, tens of thousands of Jews from Central Europe were sent to
the Baltics and slaughtered by the Nazis and their local collaborators at
places such as Kaunas, Rumbula, Salaspils, Jungefernhof, and Vaivara. The
return of the Soviets in 1944 meant brutal reprisals against Balts who had
cooperated with the Nazis as well as the beginning of mass deportations of
hundreds of thousands Baltic citizens to Siberia and other remote
locations ih the USSR, with a significant percentage of them dying in
transit or shortly thereafter. These mass deportations peaked during the
late 1940s and had ended by the time Stalin died in 1953.

>From the mid fifties right up until they regained their independence in
1991 life in the Baltic republics of the Soviet Union was relatively
normal. Local cultures and languages were gradually able to re-establish
themselves, the only feature of life that could be characterized as
genocidal, more properly ethnocidal, was the uncontrolled inflow of
migrants from other Soviet republics. In Latvia and Estonia this inflow
reached such proportions that the native population was becoming diluted
and was in danger of becoming a minority in its own titular territory.
Estonia went from being 97% to 62% Estonian between 1944 and 1991;
Latvians accounted for only 52% of the population of Latvia when
independence was restored, at which time they were a minority in all of
the country’s major cities.

The communists expropriated most private property in 1940 and the Nazis
did nothing to return it. Insofar as real estate, farms, land, assets, and
factories that were once privately owned could be restored to their former
owners, a serious effort was made to do so in the Baltic countries after
independence.

The above is a chronicle of terrible events, but the Baltic peoples were
able to emerge from Soviet colonialization and continue much of what had
been interrupted in 1940. The only transition period involved the
withdrawal of Russian troops, a Soviet legacy, this was completed
according to a time schedule worked out in advance and supervised by
international organizations. Otherwise, Baltic cultures are intact and
some of the population losses of the era of colonization have been
partially compensated for by the presence of Soviet-era settlers, the
overwhelming majority of which are urban population with professional
skills and who are currently in the process of going native.

The people of what is now Zimbabwe suffered a fate that was arguably worse
and more debilitating than what the Baltic people were forced to go
through between 1940 and 1991.

Although Cecil Rhodes tends to be portrayed as a noble person, from the
standpoint of the indigenous population of what is now Zimbabwe
he was the figurehead of an unwelcome foreign invader and a land-grabber.
Unlike the case in the baltics, when the invaders were neighbors trying to
recover land where they had had a presence in the past, Rhodes and his
followers were adventurers who sailed half way around the world to grab
land and assets in a place where Britain had never before had an
historical presence or interests. This makes his activities in southern
Africa all the more brazen.

<quote>
Cecil Rhodes , a wealthy British South African diamond-and-gold trader,
along with other white settlers armed with a mandate from Queen Victoria,
invaded present-day Zimbabwe from South Africa. Lobengula, the new chief
of the Ndebele, resisted the invasion, but his troops were defeated. The
settlers set up the British South Africa Company, which became the basis
for colonization of the country. In 1897, the Ndebele, led by Lobengula,
formed an alliance with the Shona to fight the settlers, but the allies
were defeated by the better-equipped settlers’ army. The country became a
colony of Great Britain.

come from half way around the world to plunder his country:

<quote>
Lobengula

Pronunciation: [lO”beng-gOO´lu] (key)

c.1833?94, king of Matabeleland (now in Zimbabwe ). After succeeding his father
(1870), he tried to turn aside the approaches of European colonizers. In 1888,
however, under pressure from Cecil Rhodes, he ceded his mineral rights in
exchange for small payment, and Rhodes used those concessions to form the
British South Africa Company (1889). When British gold miners began
appearing, Lobengula rallied his people and in 1893 attacked the British. The
results were disastrous for the Ndebele (Matabele); Lobengula died while
fleeing
north.

The Ndebele were unable to resist the British, and they eventually gave up
resisting them and became agriculturalists. The rapidly increasing
colonialist population resulted in exacerbated pressure between the
Ndebele and the British, and tensions were eventually resolved by the
British confiscating the Ndebele’s land, disenfranchising them, and
forcing them to work as agricultural workers and miners. The Land Act of
1930 (see below), forced the Ndebele off of most of the arable land and
destroyed their traditional society. This is the root cause of the present
dispute.
</quote>

The inhabitants of the territory invaded by the British were civilized by
the standards of the time and area. They were pastoralists and subsistance
farmers who engaged in cottage industry and trade with the coastal cities.
They did not, however, have a tradition of land ownsership with deeds and
titles. That does not mean that the people had no attachment to the land
of their ancestors or lacked a sense of what was theirs and what was not.
This lack of a European-type system of land ownership served in southern
Africa, as it had in so many other places, as a pretext for the British to
invade and claim the land for themselves, since nobody “legally owned it”.
However, if the local culture had not contained an implicit concept of
land ownership, this issue, which had been at the center of Zimbabwe
politics long before independence, would not be the problem that it is
today.

A bloody war was fought between the British and the Ndebele over this
issue. The Africans lacked the technology to defeat the British. This is
the same story we saw in Australia, the Americas, and the Indian
subcontinent. The British-African wars are better documented, and the
people who were defeated were not, as was the case in the Americas and
Australia, totally demoralized and exterminated. This is another parallel
with Baltic history: the colonists had a high enough regard for the people
being colonized not to target the entire group for extermination,
preferring instead to use them as pawns in the new order that they
established.

The landgrab in Zimbabwe was “legitimized” by the Land Act passed in
1930. Functionally this was analogous to the collectivization of land by
the Soviets in the Baltic countries, but its effects were further reaching
and more destructive for the local culture than Soviet collectivization
was. Land that had long been inhabited by people who had been working it
and had a sense of attachment to it was grabbed at gunpoint. The villages,
infrastructure, and culture were plowed under, and the inhabitants, who
had been self sufficent, were consigned to reservations. Further
legislation passed by colonists enabled them to legally acquire the
confiscated land and reduce the former inhabitants from the status of
small freeholders to that of a landless, propertyless reserve of cheap
labor for the planatations and mines that the colonists established.

The international treaty that underlies the United Nations is being
violated by the United States and its running dogs in Iraq this very
moment. The international treaty that allowed the USSR to esablish bases
on the territory of the Baltic countries to protect them against foreign
invasion was violated when the Soviet Union invaded them. Many other
examples spring to mind.

Cecil Rhodes and his band of colonists backed their claims and the

Victoria.

Despite the tragedies that they went through as a consequence of
colonialism, their societies were not as disrupted as those of colonial
Africa.

Zimbabwe had to agree to a twenty-year transition period before its
independence was finalized. During those twenty years some of the
colonialists have taken Zimbabwean citizenship and are thus not the object
of natvization policies. Despite the corruption and evident excesses which
have characterized the situation in Zibabwe, no country can continue to
tolerate a situation in which two thirds of the arable land is in the
hands of 0.5 of the ppulation, these people being absentee landowners and
non-citizens.

Elephants have to be culled, too. And I am assured by a gourmand
acquaintance that the elephant-ear sandwich is a uniquely succulent
delicacy, provided that you can find an appropriate sized bun.

Reinhard Heydrich was one of the top Nazi leaders. The document in
question concerns his explanation and justification of policies to be
implemented by the Nazi government. Thus, it is generally a German
document, because it is written in German by a German author representing
a German government about a German situation. More specifically it is a
Nazi German one due to its author, function, content, and the date that it
was written.

In the latter case it pertains to such circumstances that, due to their
despicableness, their danger, or their propagandistic impact, are suitable
to be eliminated using a [rücksichtlos-es] procedure (specifically by
execution) with no regard to the person.

This procedure is “reckless”, “inconsiderate”, “irrespective”,
“unthoughtful”, or “roughshod”, according to the translations offered by
the dictionary. None of them fit as such. The word “ruthless” might be too
strong, but “merciless”, “uncharitable”, “rash”, or “cruel” all capture
nuances of the word.

The verb “erledigen”, of which “erledigt” is the past participle, normally
means “to finish off” in the sense of “to kill” if the direct object is
[+animate]:

You keep repeating this nonsense. ‘Exekution’ and ‘exekutieren’ in
German have several meanings, just as the corresponding words ‘execution’
and ‘to execute’ do in English. Nevertheless, the context makes it clear
which sense is meant. Consider the following:

Source: http://www.minghui.de/articles/200504/21047p.html

Als Liu Shaoqi sich dem Vorsitzenden entgegenstellte, wäre selbst sein Tod
nicht genug gewesen, um für seine Verbrechen zu büßen. Als Zhang Zhixin es

eingesperrt und von den Gefängniswärtern vergewaltigt. Ihre Kehle wurde
aufgeschnitten und sie wurde exekutiert.

[When Lie Shaoqi opposed the chairperson, even his death would have not
sufficed to atone for his crimes. When Zhang Zhixin tried and dared to
annul her sentence for Liu Shaoqi, she was incarcerated and raped by the
prison guards. Her throat was cut open and she was executed.]

Let’s walk through your translation. Here is the source text again:

1. You completely mistranslate the first two clauses. They say:

Im letzteren Falle [handelt es sich um](1) solche Sachverhalte, [die](2a)
hinsichtlich ihrer Verwerflichkeit, ihrer Gefährlichkeit oder ihrer
propagandistischen Auswirkung [geeignet sind](2b),…

You have:

” In the latter case, Circumstances with respect to their meanness, their
dangerousness, or their propagandistic effect, are suitable concerns,

“handelt es sich um” means “it concerns” or “it pertains to”. It is the
circumstances (Sachverhalte), not the concerns a noun with that meaning
does not even show up in the German text that are suitable (geeignet) as
a consequence of their “their despicableness, their danger, or their
propagandistic impact”. the antecedent of the relative pronoun “die” is
“solche Sachverhalte” – ‘such circumstances’, but your translation has no
relative clause, no equivalent of the determiner “solch”, and, most
damningly, makes “suitable” the modifier of a noun “concerns”, a word
for which there is no equivalent in the source text.

2. Your “regardless of their reputation standing” mean nothing in English.
The German “ohne Ansehung der Person ” simply means “without regard to the
person” or “whoever the person may be”.

3. The German “durch rücksichtloses Vorgehen” is a prepositional phrase
consisting of the preposition “durch”, meaning “through/by means of” and a
premodified noun “rücksichtloses Vorgehen”, meaning
“merciless/rash/coarse/cruel procedure”. Your “regardless of their
reputation standing, to proceed” is totally off the mark. The cruel
procedure is explained using the appositive equivalent construction
(nämlich durch Exekution) in parentheses. This means (that is to
say/specifically by execution). This is a military document and written by
a German (Heydrich was born in Halle) during the first half of the 20th
century, the intended direct object of the executions would be the people
being discussed, so to translate it as “seizing and impounding them” is
far fetched, since “Exekution” would only have this meaning in archaic
Austrian bureaucratic usage.

4. Finally, “ausmerzen” has a far stronger meaning when applied to a
[+animate] direct object than “weed out”. The German …”durch Exekution
ausgemerzt zu werden” means “…to be
obliterated/culled/eliminated/eradicated by
means of execution”.

Summing up, here is the source text once again:

Your [mis]translation:

“In the latter case, Circumstances with respect to their meanness, their
dangerousness, or their propagandistic effect, are suitable concerns,
regardless of their reputation standing, to proceed and weed them out
by seizing and impounding them.”

This reduces to “…Circumstances…are suitable concerns, regardless of
their reputation standing, to proceed and weed them out by seizing and
impounding them.” and means absolutely nothing, as I am sure you will agree.

A correct, close translation:

“In the latter case it pertains to such circumstances that, due to their
despicableness, their danger, or their propaganda impact, are suitable to
be eliminated using a cruel procedure (specifically by execution) no
matter who the person might be.”

This reduces to:

“…[it pertains to](1) [such circumstances](2) [that…are suitable](3)

Compare Gord’s translation, which is also accurate and relatively close:

<translation>
In the latter case, we are dealing with circumstances that
because of their degradation, their danger or their propaganda
consequences, it is appropriate without regard to the person, to
eliminate him through a ruthless procedure (namely by execution).
</translation>

If I were translating this text for a client, I would revise my first
translation to be:

“In the latter case it is a question of circumstances that justify the
elimination by a cruel procedure, execution, of the individuals concerned,
no matter who they might be, because of their despicableness, the danger
they constitute, or their propaganda impact, ”

Anyone who knows German will agree that your attempt to produce a
translation indicates that you have a woefully deficient knowledge of German
grammar, semantics, stylistics, and pragmatics.

a consequence of their “their despicableness, their danger, or their

“solche Sachverhalte” – ‘such circumstances’, but your translation has no

That’s because none of them would have made sense in English in that
specific context. The important thing is that the words in the list as
possible translations for *rücksichtslos* were negative in semantics,
something that you missed.

No. In the context “durch rücksichtloses Vorgehen (nämlich durch
Exekution)” it does not and cannot mean “regardless,” or “irrespective”
since it is an adjective modifying that’s what the -es indicates the
noun “Vorgehen”: *”by regardless/irrespective procedure (specifically by
execution)” is nonsense in English.

If you do something without regard for civility or generally accepted
norms of behavior you are being ruthless/cruel/merciless/harsh.

It’s not a bogus translation at all. In the context in question it could
be translated as “cruel”, “ruthless”, “harsh”, or “merciless”. If you want
to use “regardless” or “irrespective” you have to add information telling
the reader what it is regardless or irrespective of: “by a procedure
disregarding all civility (specifically execution)”

Any translation cis an interpretation, since languages are different. Your
translation, however, is gibberish, not English:

No you can’t. All of the comprehensive dictionaries of German note that
the meaning of “exekutieren” that you give is limited to Austrian
bureaucratic usage. I discussed the word with an Austrian colleague (born
1948) and he said that this usage is completely unknown to him and his
generation. He is not just anybody; he is a teacher of German langauge and
literature.

So can I. But they do not use the word “exekutieren” in the same clause as
“ausgemerzt zu werden”.

In this context I was writing not as a “Holocaust hustler”, but as a
professional translator. I used clear examples to demonstrate that your
translation is incompetent in many ways. It reveals that you have little
understanding of German grammar, semantics, or stylistics. It makes little
sense to discuss the meaning of specific words if your translation reveals
a total lack of understand of how German sentences are constructed.
Translating:

“ohne Ansehung der Person durch rücksichtloses Vorgehen (nämlich durch
Exekution) ausgemerzt zu werden.”

[without regard of-the person by merciless procedure (specifically by
execution) eliminated to be]

“regardless of their reputation standing, to proceed and weed them out by
seizing and impounding them.”

reveals total incompetence in German.

Your translation fails to confront the problem that in the source text
“rücksichtlos” was used as an adjective modifying the noun “Vorgehen” in a
prespositional phrase introduced by “durch”: “durch rücksichtloses
Vorgehen”.

The function of the perpositional phrase is to explain how “durch” the
people in question are to be eliminated “ausgemerzt”. It is stated that
this will be by means of a procedure – “Vorgehen” that is qualified as
merciless/brutal/cruel/ruthless/harsh – “rücksichtlos” – and the specific
nature of the merciless procedure is made more precise by introducing a
synonym Exekution. Your proposed translation fails to deal with the fact
that “rücksichtlos” is an adjective modifying the noun “Vorgehen”, not, as
you have it, an adverb modifying the verb phrase “ausgemerzt zu werden”.
Your proposed translation would be the equivalent of:

“… ohne Ansehung der Person durch ein Vorgehen (nämlich durch Exekution)
rücksichtlos ausgemerzt zu werden.”

There is no questioning the fact that the German words
“Exekution/exekutieren” have several meanings, as indeed, do their English
equivalents “execution/to execute”. Close examination of individual
instantiations of Nazi mass murder suggests that a difference in
interpretation combined with overenthusiasm about the prospect of applying
his *Sardinenpackung* methodology to the mass murder of yet more Jews on
the part of SS-Obergruppeführer Jeckeln might have resulted in the
premature death of 1,000 Jews deported from the Reich to Riga, then in the
Nazi-occupied Ostland.

Some “Umsiedlungen” ended in the people involved being “exekutiert” on
arrival. This was the outcome of the ill-fated deportation that left
Berlin on the 27th of November, 1941 and arrived at the Rumbula station
early in the morning of November 30. They were roused from their train
cars by Jeckeln’s men at 6 AM, led to the pits that had been dug for the
Jews of the Riga ghetto, and shot. Himmler tried to intervene, but by the
time he had contacted Heydrich at 1.30 PM to specify that the Jews in
question were not to be liquidated, they were already dead
(“Judentransport aus Berlin. Keine Liquidierung.” DKHH 278.). Independent
evidence of this is provided by testimony of the Rumbula stationmaster,
Alberts Baranovskis, on November 18, 1944 published in H. Krausnick and
H-H. Wilhelm *Die Truppe des Weltanchauungskrieges*, pg. 565. He testified
that already on the night before the killings a large column of Jews was
driven to Rumbula and assembled on the field near the killing site. The
reason was that the Riga Sicherheitsdienst was unable to find
accommodation for the Reich Jews, since the Latvian Jews in the ghetto had
not yet been killed and the concentration camps that eventually served the
Riga area had not yet been built. The records of the Arâjs Trial in
Hamburg contain testimony from Matîss Lutrin,s^ who at that time worked in
the garage of the Arâjs commando. He testifies to having remembered seeing
the clothes of the Reich Jews stored in the Arâjs commando’s garage
buildng (Arâjs Trial Records, pg. 5679).

German policy at this time was evidently to execute the local Jews in
occupied territory and use the space thus vacated to house Jews deported
>from Germany proper in order to exploit their labor and execute them
labor. As we have discussed in another thread, Himmler was angry about
Jeckeln’s manner of “executing” this particular deportation. He contacted
Heydrich the following day and discussed the “Exekutionen in Riga” [DKHH
280] He also expressed his ire to Jeckeln: “Die in das Gebiet Ostland
ausgesiedelten Juden sind nur nach dem von mir bezw. vom
Reichssicherheitshauptamt in meinem Auftrag gegebenen Richtlinien zu
behandeln. Eigenmächtigkeiten und Zuwiederhandlungen würde ich bestrafen.”
[DKHH 284]. He ordered Jeckeln to his headquarters on December 4 to
discuss the “Judenfrage” once again [DKHH 284]. After that, the rest of
the Latvian Jews in the Riga ghetto were killed on December 8, thus making
space for the transports of Jews that began arriving in Riga on a regular
basis, the first of these leaving Cologne on December 7 and containing
1,000 Jews [Sources: A. Ezergailis 1996, *the Holocaust in Latvia: 1941 –
1944, pg. 355; Landgericht Hamburg: Indictment of Gerhard Kurt Maywald,
1977, pg. 105].

Heydrich the following day and discussed the “Exekutionen in Riga” [DKHH
280] He also expressed his ire to Jeckeln: “Die in das Gebiet Ostland
ausgesiedelten Juden sind nur nach dem von mir bezw. vom
Reichssicherheitshauptamt in meinem Auftrag gegebenen Richtlinien zu
behandeln. Eigenmächtigkeiten und Zuwiederhandlungen würde ich bestrafen.”
[DKHH 284]. He ordered Jeckeln to his headquarters on December 4 to
discuss the “Judenfrage” once again [DKHH 284]. After that, the rest of
the Latvian Jews in the Riga ghetto were killed on December 8, thus making
space for the transports of Jews that began arriving in Riga on a regular
basis, the first of these leaving Cologne on December 7 and containing
1,000 Jews [Sources: A. Ezergailis 1996, *the Holocaust in Latvia: 1941 –

The meaning of many words, in German, English, or any other language, is
partially dependent on the context in which they appear. In the following
extract from the testimony of interpreter Alfred Metzner about a
*Sardinenpackung* type of mass shooting in the Nazi-occupied Ukraine,
there is no question that “Exekution” means anything other than killing by
shooting.

Schirowitz ist ein Vorort von Slonim und ca. 7-9 km entfernt. Bei dieser
Exekution wurden ca. 1200 bis 1400 Juden aus dem Ghetto vernichtet. Es
wurden bei dieser Aktion Gruppen von 500 Personen zu Fuß an den
Vernichtungsort geführt und von den eingeteilten Vernichtungskommandos
vernichtet. Bei dieser Exekution war ich selbst dabei und habe selbst
mitgeschossen. Die Anlagen der Gruben waren diesmal 4 m breit, 5 m tief
und ca. 60-80 m lang. Der Exekutionsort war außerhalb der Ortschaft hinter
einem Wäldchen. Einige Tage vor der Exekution wurden Schießproben an dem
Exekutionsort durchgeführt, um festzustellen, ob die Bevölkerung von
Schirowitz den Schall der Exekutionen hören könne.

Diese Exekution verlief ungefähr folgendermaßen: die Wachleute gingen mit
den Juden in die Gruben. Dabei wurde das hintere Ende der Gruben
verschlossen und die Juden gezwungen, sich am Rand auszuziehen und sich
sofort ohne eine Untersuchung in die Gruben hineinzulegen. Als die erste
Schicht drinnen lag, gingen die Wachleute aus den Gruben hinaus unter
gleichzeitigem Einsetzen von beiderseitigem Feuer. Durch diese Art der
Aufstellung wurde es ermöglicht, ein Kreuzfeuer auf die Juden zu
eröffnen. Die erste Schicht betrug etwa 100-120 Mann in der Grube.

Nach der ersten Exekution musste sich die zweite Schicht der Juden so auf
die toten Körper legen, dass der Kopf auf den Füßen der unteren Leichen zu
liegen kam. In einer Grube wurden ca. 5-6 Schichten aufeinandergeworfen
und betrug die Anzahl der Juden in einer Grube ca. 400 bis 500 Personen.
Die Exekutionen wurden mit Schnellfeuergewehren, Karabinern,
Maschinenpistolen, ganz nach Belieben durchgeführt. Vorher wurden viele zu
Tode geschlagen. Es war erstaunlich, wie die Juden in die Gruben
hineingingen, nur mit gegenseitigen Tröstungen, um sich dadurch
gegenseitig zu ermuntern und den Exekutionskommandos die Arbeit zu
erleichtern.

Die Exekution selbst dauerte 3-4 Stunden. Ich war die ganze Zeit an der
Exekution beteiligt. Die einzigen Pausen, die ich machte, waren, wie mein
Karabiner leergeschossen war und ich neu laden musste. Es ist mir dadurch
nicht möglich zu sagen, wie viele Juden ich selbst während dieser 3-4
Stunden umgebracht habe, da während dieser Zeit ein anderer für mich
weiter schoss. Wir haben während dieser Zeit ziemlich viel Schnaps
getrunken, um unseren Arbeitseifer anzuregen. Die noch in den unteren
Schichten lebenden, bzw. nur angeschossenen Juden wurden durch die oberen
Schichten erstickt oder durch das Blut der oberen Schichten ertränkt.
Diesmal kamen keine angeschossenen Leute lebend davon. Die Gräben
wurden anschließend durch die einheimische Bevölkerung zugeschaufelt. Nach
dieser Massenvernichtung wurde wiederum eine Besprechung bei dem
Gebietskommissar durchgeführt. Der Gebietskommissar lobte bei dieser
Gelegenheit meinen Fleiß und war mit der ganzen Aktion zufrieden.

When you successfully translate a text you replicate its content and
function in the target language. Sometimes this requires a considerable
amount of work: the German sentence “Diese Berichte wurden lange in den
Wind geschlagen” literally means “These reports became long beaten into
the wind.”, but that sentence means nothing in English. A person with a
good knowledge of German grammar understands that the passive in German is
formed with the verb “werden” “to become”, and not with the German
equivalent of the verb “to be”, as is the case in English. A person with a
good knowledge of German idioms and phraseology knows that the correct
translation of the phraseme “in den Wind schlagen” is “to ignore”, thus
the sentence translates as “These reports were long ignored”.

Correct. They were to be rounded up into such compounds, ghettos, so that
their labor could be exploited until the next stage of the “Final
Solution” could be implemented. But the Nazi bureaucracy did not use the
verbs “exekutieren” to designate this procedure, but rather “umsiedeln”
and “konzentrieren”.

I did not deliberately mistranslate the word. The text says quite plainly:

“…ohne Ansehung der Person durch rücksichtloses Vorgehen (nämlich durch
Exekution) ausgemerzt zu werden.”

1. The prepositional phrase “ohne Ansehung der Person” means: [without]
[regard] [of-the] [person]
2. The prepositinal phrase “durch rücksichtloses Vorgehen” means:
“[through/using/by means of] [brutal/cruel/ruthless] [procedure].
3. The appositional construction “nämlich durch Exekution” means
[namely/specifically/to be more precise/in other words] [through/using/by
means of] [execution].
4. The verb phrase “ausgemerzt zu werden” means:
[eliminated/culled/exterminated] [to] [be/become].

> And just look at the nonsense you concocted in your lame translation.

My translation is neither nonsensical nor lame. It replicates the content
of the original and is based on a careful analysis of its grammar and
syntax. Even if we forget about the semantic and contextual issues, your
alternative translation has no basis in the grammatical structure of the
source text. Specifically, it fails to deal with the fact that in the
construction “rücksichtloses Vorgehen” the word “rücksichtloses” is an
*adjective* giving information about the “Vorgehen”.

That is the way that one translates a German text that clearly makes that
distinction.

No. They do not make sense because a dictionary never contains all the
possible choices. Translating “rücksichtloses Vorgehen” as
“roughshod/inconsiderate procedure” would be unidiomatic English.

Let’s examine some examples of this phrase in other German texts:

Source: http://www.auto.tuwien.ac.at/~rlieger/Firewalls/Firewalls.html
“Durch ihr *rücksichtloses Vorgehen* werden Vandalen stets rasch bemerkt,
doch der Schaden, den sie bis dahin angerichtet haben kann schon groß
sein.”
[Because of their *inconsiderate actions* vandals are always quickly
noticed, however the damage that they have done up until then can already
be considerable.]

Source: http://www.dhm.de/lemo/html/kaiserreich/aussenpolitik/kamerun/
“Ein nicht weniger *rücksichtloses Vorgehen* von Gouverneur Karl Theodor
Heinrich Leist (1859-1895) in den eigenen Reihen führte 1893 zu einem
Aufstand in der Polizeitruppe, der nur mit Hilfe einer Kompanie deutscher
Marinesoldaten der vor Kamerun stationierten Kriegsschiffe
niedergeschlagen werden konnte.”
[A no less important *brutal/ruthless procedure* in his own lines taken by
governor Karl Theodor Heinrich Leist (1859-1895) in 1893 led to an
insurrection in the police corps that could only be crushed with the aid
of a company of German marines of the battleships that were stationed off
the coast of Cameroon.”]

Gaza with the statement “the USA does not tolerate civilian losses”.]

No it wasn’t. Look at the structures used to mark cohesion between the two
sentences:

“Es ist zu unterscheiden zwischen *solchen*[a], die auf dem bisher
üblichen Wege erledigt werden können, und *solchen*[b], welche einer
Sonderbehandlung zugeführt werden müssen. *Im letzteren Falle[b]…*”

[A distinction is to be made between *those*[a] who can be finished off in
the normal manner, and *those*[b] who must be accorded a special
treatment. *In the latter case[b]…”]

Two groups of people to be finished off are specified:
[a] those who are to be finished off/eliminated in the customary manner
[b] those who are to be accorded a special treatment.

The people who are to be accorded special treatment, indicated by “im
letzen Fall”, are those who have committed reprehensible acts, constitiute
a danger, or whose elimination in the normal manner would have negative
propaganda consequences for German interests.

Forgetting about the semantic choices, your translation gets the reference
relations all wrong and in this respect means the opposite of what the
text says. It is not the important Jews who should be accorded special
treatment, but rather those who have committed atrocities, are dangerous,
or have a high enough profile for their being finished off (erledigt) in
the normal manner to have a possible negative propaganda impact. Other
Jews are to be finished off (erledigt) in the customary manner. The
special subset of Jews that is not to be finished off in the normal manner
is to be exterminated (augemerzt) using a brutal procedure (rücksichtloses
Vorgehen), execution (Exekution) because of their past or potential
behavior, or because finishing them off in the customry manner would be a
propaganda windfall and contrary to German interests.

This is the original source text:

<quote>
Zur Beseitigung aller Mißverständnisse teile ich folgendes mit: Es ist zu
unterscheiden zwischen solchen, die auf dem bisher üblichen Wege erledigt
werden können, und solchen, welche einer Sonderbehandlung zugeführt werden
müssen. Im letzteren Falle handelt es sich um solche Sachverhalte, die
hinsichtlich ihrer Verwerflichkeit, ihrer Gefährlichkeit oder ihrer
propagandistischen Auswirkung geeignet sind, ohne Ansehung der Person
durch rücksichtloses Vorgehen (nämlich
durch Exekution) ausgemerzt zu werden.
</quote>

And here is a reasonable translation:
<translation>
To eliminate any misunderstandings I inform you of the following:
A distinction is to be made between those who can be finished off using
the method that has been in use up until now, and those who will have to
be accorded a special treatment. In the latter case it is a matter of
such circumstances that justify exterminating the person concerned using a
brutal procedure, specifically execution, due to the reprehensibility, the
danger, or the propaganda impact that these circumstances represent.

But “jemanden erledigen”, note the [+human] semantics of the direct
object, usually means to “finish off” some one, as in killing or at least
rendering harmless:

[This from another instruction manual for a video game. The verb
“erledigen” indicates the response to being shot at. The introductory
subordinate clause “Habt ihr ihn erledigt,…” translates as “If you have

In the four examples above verb “erledigen” has a [+human] direct object
and means either “kill” or the slightly more vague “finish off”. One could
also translate it as “take care of”, but then the context would have to
make it clear that this “taking care of” is not a matter of nursing or
hosting, but rather of solving or eliminating a person or persons that
have been a problem.

The verb “handle” is certainly a possibility, as is “dealt with”, but
“handle” lacks the finality that “erledigen” has, the prefix er- in
Germman often giving a verb a perfectiuve aspect, cf. schiessen “to shoot”
vs. erschiessen “to shoot dead”. When people have been “erledigt”,
something final and irreversible has happened to them, “handle” lacks this
nuance. I had considered “to take care of”, but that has two meanings, one
of which would have supported Morghus’s mistranslation, according to which
the normal Jews were taken care of, that is to say, their needs were
provided for (sorgen für), while the Jews in the special group would be
given “Sonderbehandlung” – Morghus’s “special privileges” – this being
“ausgemerzt” (culled/eliminated) by a “rücksichtloses Vorfahren, nämlich
Exekution” ([a] brutal procedure, specifically execution). Why people
should be accorded “special privileges” for their reprehensibility in the
past, their potential dangerousness in the future, or the possible
propaganda value that news of their being “dealt with” in the customary
manner might have, as Morghus claims, is beyond me.

I do indeed work for a living, as a linguist, teacher, and translator. One
aspect of my work is analyzing the arguments used here to prove or
disprove that the Holoaust took place.

I have no economic relationship with Nizkor at all.

Ein halbes Jahr später, am 2. Juni 1942, wurde Jerzy Szernat in
Wolfenbüttel hingerichtet. Ein besonders dunkles Kapitel stellen die
halb-öffentlichen Hinrichtungen dar, die außerhalb von
Zwangsarbeiterlagern vollzogen wurden und an denen häufig Landsleute
zwecks Abschreckung teilnehmen mussten. Die so genannte “Sonderbehandlung³
(“SB³) war im Sprachgebrauch der SS, der Gestapo, aber auch im
Reichsjustizministerium eine Umschreibung für Mord. Der Chef der
Sipo und des SD definierte die “Sonderbehandlung³ kaum 20 Tage nach
Kriegsausbruch zum ersten Mal. In seinem Erlass hieß es, dass in den
Fällen unterschieden werden solle

“zwischen solchen, die auf dem bisher üblichen Wege erledigt werden können
und solchen, welcher eine Sonderbehandlung zugeführt werden müssen. Im
letzteren Falle handelt es sich um solche Sachverhalte, die hinsichtlich
ihrer Verwerflichkeit, ihrer Gefährlichkeit oder ihrer propagandistischen
Auswirkung geeignet sind, ohne Ansehung der Person durch
rücksichtslosestes Vorgehen (nämlich durch Exekution) ausgemerzt werden.³

Die Gestapo konnte also ohne Gerichtsbeschluss Hinrichtungen vornehmen.
Eine öffentliche Hinrichtung unter Hinzuziehung von polnischen
Zwangsarbeitern fanden beim Schützenplatz im “Daverdener Holz³ im Dorf
Daverden, zehn Kilometer von Verden entfernt, statt.

<translation>
A half year later, on June 2, 1942, Jerzy Szernat was executed
(“hingerichtet”) in Wolfenbüttel. The semi-official executions
(“Hinrichtungen”) that were implemented outside of forced labor camps and
in which locals often had to participate as a deterrent, represent a
particularly sinister chapter. In the usage of the SS, the Gestapo, and
even in the Reich Ministry of Justice, so-called “special treatment”
(“Sonderbehandlung”) was a euphemism for murder. The chief of the Security
Police (“Sipo”) and Security Service (“SD”) defined “Special treatment”
for the first time a mere twenty days after the war broke out. His edict
stated that in the cases a distinction should be made:

“between those, that can be dealt with/treated in the way that has been
normal up until now, and those which have to be submitted to special
treatment. In the latter case it is a matter of such circumstances that,
due to their reprehensiveness, their dangerousness, or their
propagandistic consequences, are suitable, with no regard to the person,
to be eliminated (“ausgemerzt”) by means of the most brutal proceudre,
specifically execution.”

The Gestapo could thus carry out executions (“Hinrichtungen”) without a
court order. A public execution (“Hinrichtung”) with the obligatory
presence of Polish forced laborers took place in the “Daverden Woods” in
the village of Daverden, situated ten kilometers from Verden.

So, with more context I concede that “erledigt” can, but does not
necessarily, mean “killed/finished off”, but I also insist all the more
strongly that “Exekution” and “ausgemerzt” are euphemisms here for
officially sanctioned extrajudicial killings. As to “erledigt”, the forced
laborers in question were forced to live in overcrowded ghettos, given
minimal rations, and forced to work brutal hours. So for all practical
purposes “dealing with them/finishing them off in the usual way” means
allowing them to work themselves to death in horrible conditions, that is
to say, “allowing them to die a slow and agonizing death”.

You are only telling half of the story. At the same trial, Kaltenbrunner
also stated that *Sonderbehandlung* had another, more sinister meaning:

That is what Kaltenbrunner says above. One of its meanings is “es eine
Verurteilung zum Tode nicht durch ein öffentliches Gericht, sondern durch
einen Befehl Himmlers”.

The German word *Sonderbehandlung* has more than one meaning, a literal
one “privileged treatment”, and a metaphorical one “extrajudicial
execution”. There is nothing strange about this. If you are in debt up to
your neck to your local mafia money-lender, and he informs you that if you
don’t pay up by tomorrow afternoon, he and his buddies are going to come
and “take you for a ride”, common sense would tell you that they are not
going to take you on a picnic.

The Nazi authorities evidently tired of the potential ambiguity and
diabolical humor inherent in the word *Sonderbehandlung*. A memorandum
>from Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler’s office dated April 10, 1943 to Dr.
Richard Korherr, the statistician responsible for documenting the number
of Jews eliminated within the final solution
[http://www.ns-archiv.de/verfolgung/korherr/anweisung-himmler.php], states
that “Der Reichsführer SS hat Ihren statistischen Bericht über “Die
Endlösung der europäischen Judenfrage” erhalten. Er wünscht, dass an
keiner Stelle von “Sonderbehandlung der Juden” gesprochen wird.” Different
phrases are mandated for discussing the deportation of Jews through
Auschwitz and the extermination camps in the General Government as part of
the “Final Solution of ther Jewish Problem”.

Read the above exchange again, this time for content.

Kaltenbrunner first hedges and, when asked if he knows the expression,
says “Es ist nur anzunehmen, ich kann mir den Ausdruck auch nicht näher
erklären, als daß es eine Verurteilung zum Tode nicht durch ein
öffentliches Gericht, sondern durch einen Befehl Himmlers ist.”

That is quite a lot of specific information for a mere assumption.

Pressed, when asked to respond “yes” or “no” to whether he had *always*
known what the word *Sonderbehandlung* means [“Haben Sie nicht schon immer
gewußt, was
mit *Sonderbehandlung* gemeint war? Ja oder nein, bitte!] he responds with
even more specific information: “Ja, ich habe Ihnen schon erklärt, ein
Befehl Himmlers – ich verweise auf den Befehl Hitlers von 1941 – also auch
Hitlers, ohne Gerichtsverfahren Hinrichtungen zu vollziehen…” He relates
that special meaning to an order issued by Himmler on the order of an
order issued by Hitler in 1941 to implement extrajudicial executions
[“Hinrichtungen”]. He is definitely *not* speaking here about
accommodation in luxury hotels and a daily bottle of champagne.

Kaltenbrunner relates this euphemistic use of the word to ordes given by
Hitler to Himmler in 1941, so it is hardly an instantiation of a
fabrication. Remember, too, that Kaltenbrunner’s entire defense was based
upon his claim that he first had no idea about the mass murders that were
being committed in the giant network of concentration camps that he, as
the head of the RSHA, was the director of, and that when he did find out,
he tried to put a stop to it.

Not the Germans, the *Nazis* set up and ran a criminal organization as the
government of Germany. They killed, stole, and destroyed on a scale that
makes the Mafia look like a bunch of incompetent pickpockets and shakedown
artists. After twelve years in power they left Germany and much of the
territory of surrounding countries in ruins. They are responsible for the
deaths of at least 20,000,000 people, as well as for pilliging and
plundering on a scale not seen in Europe since the invasion of the Huns
[see the review of the standard work on the systemtic plundering of the
Netherlands by the Nazis at e.g.
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/wwii/2005-April/007587.html].

And I claim that the testimony of Ernst Kaltenbrunner shows that at least
since 1941 it was also in wide use among the Nazi leaders as a synonym for
the implementation of extrajudicial executions [ohne Gerichtsverfahren
Hinrichtungen zu vollziehen] as sanctioned by orders from the highest
level.

If *Sonderbehandlung* can mean both “privileged treatment” and
“extrajudicial execution” there is certainly a kind of diabolical humor in
the metaphor. And it isnot a German monopoly to engage in such humor: in
American usage a *hot seat* can be a seat that has been standing in the
sun too long (“The child sat down in the hot seat, only to immediately
jump up, screaming in pain.”), a seat the occupant of which is in a
problematic situation (“David Irving really put himself into the hot seat
when he decided to go on with the libel trial against Deborah Lipstadt and
Penguinbe Books Ltd.”), or an executional device (“The murderer was
executed in the hot seat”).

> Such is the twisted mentality of the holocaust believers and promoters.

Every language known uses metaphors, some of them quite humorous. If you
see the sentence, “The curvaceous woman strode salaciously into the room,
her melons bouncing.”, the first thing that comes to mind is *not* going
to be a load of fruit.”

I have nothing against Germans. It’s the Nazis that are responsible for
this metaphor which, by the way, is now given in all recent monolingual
German dictionaries as the first meaning. Since the word carries so much
historical baggage, Germans tend to avoid it in its non-metaphorical
concrete meaning:

It is singualrly unfortunate that you are unable to distinguish between
nazis and Germans. Austiran born Hitler and Kaltenbrunner, for example,
were Nazis, but not exactly Germans.

If you are going to gas large numbers of people it makes good sense to

The verb has many meanings, but you have avoided a sentence with a direct
object that is [+human], as in:

Der Partisan hat zwei deutsche Soldaten erledigt.
In Rumbula sollen die Sicherheitsdienst mehr als 25,000 Juden erledigt haben.
Ein Sniper hat den Präsidenten erledigt.

No it isn’t. It is prduce by a commercial publishing house. It is
authoritative, but hardly standard in the sense of officially sanctioned.

It’s not a question of being a foreigner or not. Many of the people who
translate from German to some other language are foreigners and have
German as their second language.

In this case is is simply a matter of the semantics of the direct object.
In the sentence:

Der Partisan hat eine Aufgabe erledigt.
“The partisan has completed his assignment.”

the verb “erledigt” means, from the standpoint of English, something
differemt than it does in:

Der Partisan hat einen Soldaten erledigt.
“The partisan has knocked off a soldier.”

If that is true explain:
– why Dachau was built to accommodate Social-democrats, trade union
leaders, and the increasing number of others opposed to the Hitler regime
[http://www.fatherryan.org/holocaust/dachau/subindex.htm];
– why many Germans who had once supported the Hitler regime started to
have severe reservations after the excesses of the Kristallnacht pogrom in
1938
[http://www.history-of-the-holocaust.org/LIBARC/ARCHIVE/Chapters/Terror/Kristall/Reaction.html].

No. It was started by German when it invaded Poland, which had recently
signed a security treaty with Britain and France, early on the morning of
September 1, 1939, using a fabricated border incident at Gleiwitz as a
fabrication. Hitler was betting that that France and Britain would not
fulfill their treaty obligations, but France, Britain, and Britain’s
dominions Australia and New Zealand responded by declaring war on Germany
on September 3. Thus, Hitler started the war, but in his typical fashion,
he did not declare it. France and Britain, on the other hand, were the
first to declare war but not the first ones to engage in warfare or mount
an attack.

> They used Poland as their excuse.

Nonsense. Hitler knew that Poland had a security guarantee with Britain
and France, but he chose to attack nevertheless.

The cat had been let out of the bag, so to speak. The USSR waited two
weeks ntil it invaded Poland from the eat on September 17.

The West gave Stalin a lot of things in recognition of the fact that his
country made the decisive contribution to defeating the Nazis.

That was after the war and that kind of pillaging is generally sanctioned
as partial reparations. The Nazis did their pillaging *during* the war.

Kaltenbrunner, who was in a better position to know than you are, stated
quite clearly concerning the meaning of *Sonderbehandlung*: Kaltenbrunner
first hedges and, when asked if he knows the expression, says “Es ist nur
anzunehmen, ich kann mir den Ausdruck auch nicht näher erklären, als daß
es eine Verurteilung zum Tode nicht durch ein öffentliches Gericht,
sondern durch einen Befehl Himmlers ist.”

That is quite a lot of specific information for a mere assumption.

Pressed, when asked to respond “yes” or “no” to whether he had *always*
known what the word *Sonderbehandlung* means [“Haben Sie nicht schon immer
gewußt, was mit *Sonderbehandlung* gemeint war? Ja oder nein, bitte!] he
responds with even more specific information: “Ja, ich habe Ihnen schon
erklärt, ein Befehl Himmlers – ich verweise auf den Befehl Hitlers von
1941 – also auch
Hitlers, ohne Gerichtsverfahren Hinrichtungen zu vollziehen…” He relates
that special meaning to an order issued by Himmler on the order of an
order issued by Hitler in 1941 to implement extrajudicial executions
[“Hinrichtungen”]. He is definitely *not* speaking here about
accommodation in luxury hotels and a daily bottle of champagne.

We are using different versions of Duden. Look at definition 2 below.

Most of people who translate out of German know German as a second

Hollywood is about entertainment and simplified, black-and-white versions
of history. Readers seriously interested in knowing what the Holocaust was
about abd how it was implemented are advised to read Christopher R.

That does not diminish the fact that the job that those entrusted with
writing those tomes are entrusted with is to preserve the accumulated
experience of humankind, one reason for this exercise being to help us
avoid making the same mistake twice.

What “sales package”? Nazi Germany was the main practitioner of
aggression, ethnic cleansing, and genocide between 1938 and 1945. This
fact is being commemorated tomorrow and the day after when the deaths of
the close to 40,000,000 people killed by the Nazis or cambatting Nazism
will be honored. An inseparable part of Nazi aggression involved the quest
for *Lebensraum* territory for German colonization that was already
inhabited by “inferior” peoples. Singling out Jews for extermination, the
Holocaust, evolved to become a crucial element of Nazi colonial policy.

World War II is part of the collective experience of humankind. In a
market-based economy people have the right to use collective experience as
the basis for works of art, including literature and motion pictures. If
they are going to make a product based on this common cultural repository,
surely they have the right to make a profit on their investment of time
and effort. The Holocaust is the most meticulously documented aspect of WW
II, we have masses of evidence produced by perpetrators and victims alike,
thus it is hardly surprising that works of fact and semi-fiction continue
to be produced about it.

> based on a guilt trip of their creation.

Guilt trip? Who feels guilty about the Holocaust today? The Holocaust is a
lesson that we can all learn from. It demonstrates how a cultivated and
advanced nation can lapse into insanity if it believes and acts upon the
claim of a maniacal leader that all of its problems have a single source
and can thus be solved with a simple, quick fix.

PRESIDENTIAL AIDE: THE TERM “OCCUPATION” INAPPLICABLE FOR BALTICS

16:20

MOSCOW, May 5 (RIA Novosti) – The term “occupation” cannot be applied to
the Baltic nations, said Sergei Yastrzhembsky, the presidential aide.

Speaking at a press conference in Moscow in view of the upcoming Russia-EU
summit, Yastrzhembsky said Soviet troops had entered the Baltics in 1940
“in accordance with the agreements and expressed consent of the then
governments of the [Baltic] republics, regardless of how their actions can
be interpreted today.”

“The USSR was not in a state of war and was not waging any combat
activities on the territory of the three Baltic states, therefore there
can be no talk about ‘occupation’,” he said in view of the Russian visit
by the US president who described the end of WWII as “occupation” for
Eastern Europe and the Baltics in his letter to Latvian leader Vaira
Vike-Freiberga.

Yastrzhembsky also said, “the national authorities of the three Baltic
states took the independent decision to withdraw from the USSR in 1990.”

The presidential aide said the statement of the European Commissioner from
Germany about the need for Russia to acknowledge Soviet occupation of the
Baltics if it is to develop relations with the EU was “surprising.”

According to him, the statement was ill-timed, “as it was made ahead of
the historic date [the V-E day celebrations in Russia are due on May 9th]
and contradicts all the other statements of the EU leadership.”

THERESIENSTADT

Of the 8000 Jews living in Denmark in October 1943, approximately
7500 managed to escape to Sweden with help of fellow Danes. The
remaining 450 were unable or unwilling to escape and were sent to
Theresienstadt, a Nazi concentration camp.

[Question: If the Germans were so benevolent, why should almost 95% of the
Danish Jews have chosen to leave their homes and escape to neutral Sweden
when word was leanked of an impending roundup of Jews?]

Located in Czechoslovakia, Theresienstadt was not a death camp; the Nazis
did not exterminate Jews at Theresienstadt. The camp mainly served as a
stopping point for Jews enroute to Nazi death camps further east. As in
other concentration camps, conditions in Theresienstadt were terrible.
Overcrowding and malnutrition killed thousands of prisoners and disease
killed thousands more. Only one in eight new arrivals survived.

Meanwhile, Denmark worked to improve the survival odds for the Danish Jews
imprisoned in Theresienstadt, starting shortly after the first group
arrived. Within days of the German raid on Jewish homes, Danish
officials began to ask German officials about the fate of those
shipped to the camp.

[Question: If information about the ongoing systematic mass murder of
European Jews by the Nazis was not widespread by October, 1943, why should
the Danish government and the Red Cross, both of which had access to
classified information about the fate of Euriopean Jews, have been so
concerned about the survival odds of the Danish Jews deported to the
Theresienstadt concentration camp?]

In November 1943, only days after the last group of Danish Jews arrived at
Theresienstadt, the Danish Red Cross received permission to send clothing
parcels to Danish Jews. Volunteers in Denmark entered the homes of these
prisoners, collected personal clothing, and shipped the parcels to
Theresienstadt on behalf of the Danish Red Cross.

Although the Nazis agreed to allow clothing parcels into
Theresienstadt, they would not allow Danes to send medicine to the
Danish Jews. A solution was soon found: vitamins. Considered neither
food nor medicine, vitamins proved to be a valuable supplement for
the prisoners. Within a few months, each Danish Jew received more
than a year’s supply; the surplus was shared with non-Danes.

The next item on the list was food: how could the Danish Red Cross
send food to the prisoners when the Germans would not allow it?
Germany allowed Jews to receive personal mail in Theresienstadt, so
the Red Cross sent food parcels directly to individuals rather than
in bulk–right under the noses of German postal workers.

During the winter of 1943, the Danish Red Cross requested an opportunity
to inspect the camp. Germany agreed, but only on the condition that the
inspection team wait until the following summer. Jewish laborers
immediately began to transform the edifice of Theresienstadt from a dirty,
dingy camp to a bright, sunny, cheerful Jewish “town.” Jewish prisoners
planted flowers, painted, and scraped. Overcrowding was a problem, and
the Nazis did not want the Red Cross team to report these conditions to
the world. Instead, they shipped thousands of new arrivals directly to
death camps in eastern Europe instead of sending them to Theresienstadt
first.

By the time the committee arrived in June 1943, the Nazis had providedthe
Danish prisoners with scripts; the Nazis threatened them wit deportation
should the prisoners resist the plan. A group of Danish Jews welcomed the
committee; the group toured the “town,” passing playgrounds, gardens, and
newly-painted dwellings as they made their way toward Danish living
quarters. For some reason, the Red Cross representatives did not notice,
or chose to ignore “surplus” Danish Jews hiding upstairs. They returned to
Denmark with pleasing reports of Theresienstadt.

At first, the Danish Jews imprisoned in Theresienstadt were frustrated and
saddened by the failure of the committee to discover the truth. They soon
found, however, that the visit had been somewhat beneficial. The Germans
were elated with the committee’s positive reports. In return for the
Danish prisoners’ cooperation, Germany promised them that they would
remain at the camp rather than being sent to a death camp. The Nazis also
improved living conditions and increased the food rations to the Danish
Jews.

Upon the liberation of Theresienstadt in 1945, only 17,320 prisoners of an
estimated 140,000 remained in camp; all others had been shipped to death
camps or had died from disease within the walls of the camp. Amazingly,
approximately 400 of the 450 Danish Jews originally sent to the camp in
October 1943 survived.

The presence of Prussian blue is not a reliable test for exposure to cyanide:
– the presence of Prussian blue is a strong positive index of exposure to
cyanide;
– the absence of Prussian blue does not exclude exposure to cyanide.

The walls of the gas chamber at Majdanek, for example, show irregular blue
splotching (cf.
http://www.uoregon.edu/~dluebke/Holocaust410-510/BlueMajdanek.jpg).
Prussian blue forms irregularly upon exposure to cyanide according to
processes that are not yet fully understood. A more neutral test for
exposure to cyanide is to test for cyanide ions, as the IFRC team did in
the Cracow report. Cyanide ions will *always* be left behind if a surface
is exposed to cyanide. Radically different readings for Prussian blue
would be obtained from samples taken from different parts of this same
wall, but a sample taken from any part of this wall would test positive
for cyanide ions.

One of Leuchter’s fatal errors was to present figures that had only
qualitative validity (yes or no) as having quantitative validity (how
much?). Due to the sloppiness of his sampling technique in the field and
the destructive nature of the analytical procedure subsequently used at
the laboratory, the figures that Leuchter presents have *no scientific
value as quantitative indices*. The only thing that they indicate is that
14 of Leuchter’s 31 samples taken from places that other historical
evidence indicates were gas chambers yield positive readings for the
presence of cyanide compounds using the generous threshold of detection of
1 mg/kg. This is more than forty years after their last exposure to
cyanide, and, with the exception of the samples taken from Krema I in
Auschwitz-Stammlager, includes a period of having been exposed to the
elements between early 1945 and the time the samples were taken in late
1987.

Leuchter is blatanly dishonest in trying to pass off qualitative indices
as quantitative information. The value of his work is further diminished
by the fact that he mkes no attempt to account for the affect that his
single “control” sample was taken from a place that had been sheltered
>from the elements since 1945, while most of his samples from alleged gas
chamber ruins were taken from places that had been regularly cleaned when
being used and then exposed to the elements as ruins after demolition. The
Cracow team ran experiments that demonstrated water, sunlight, and the
nature of the construction material sampled all to play a crucial role in
the formation and short and longer-term retention of residual cyanates.

Lice die shortly after their hosts die. What reason would there be to
fumigate a place where dead people and their equally dead parasitical lice
were stored?

When did the Auschwitz complex, of which Birkenau was a part, ever have as
few as 20,000 inmates.

Correct. And anyone who understands how cyanide interacts with people as
opposed to lice knows that killing a few thousand of people at a time is a
far easier and less dangerous task than killing hundreds of thousands of
lice at a time. A faciltiy that could sustain the concentrations of
cyanide over the timeframe needed to kill lice without constituting a
hazard to its surroundings could certainly sustain the far lower
concentrations of cyanide over the far shorter timeframe needed to kill
people.

That is an unjustifiable and absurd assumption. Anyone only slightly
familiar with the logistics of executing thousands of people at a time
would expect a facility designed for such a purpose to be as low-tech and
neutral looking as possible. People who realize that they are about to be
slaughtered tend to become unruly or worse. Given the
perpetrator-to-victim ratio at the camps with gas chambers, the only way
to ensure that the intended victims would enter the gas chambers in an
orderly fashion was to ensure that the execution facilities did not look
threatening. This deception had already been perfected within the
framework of the T-4 euthanasia program, where many of the gas chambers
were constructed to look like shower rooms.

> Is that what was found at the site?

Of course not. What was found at Auschwitz-Birkernau was the ruins or
foundations of buildings that are known to have been constructed in 1943.
Samples taken from them by Leuchter, the Cracow team, and others indicate
that parts of them were subjected to enough cyanide to have left clearly
detectable traces even after close to half a century of exposure to the
elements.

Sonderbehandlung

“Sonderbehandlung” war eine Tarn-Bezeichnung der SS während der Zeit des
Dritten Reiches für die Ermordung von Menschen. Diese euphemistische
Bezeichnung sollte wie “Endlösung”, “Umsiedlung” oder “Evakuierung” die
tatsächlichen Machenschaften verschleiern helfen. Ein Beispiel unter
vielen für die Verwendung dieses Begriffes ist dieser Text von Heinrich
Himmler:

“(4) In besonders schweren Fällen ist beim Reichssicherheitshauptamt
Sonderbehandlung unter Angabe der Personalien und des genauen Tatbestandes
zu beantragen.

(5) Die Sonderbehandlung erfolgt durch den Strang.”

Im Laufe der Ermittlungs- und Strafverfahren wegen der NS-Verbrechen
zeigte sich, dass in den mit einschlägigen Vorgängen befaßten Kreisen
keine Zweifel darüber bestanden, was unter diesem Begriff zu verstehen
war. Der SS-Gruppenführer und höhere SS- und Polizeiführer Emil Mazuw sagt
hierzu:
“Sonderbehandlung war mit “liquidieren” gleichzusetzen. Ich habe auch
keine Aufklärung über diesen Begriff in Neu-Sandez meinen Untergebenen
geben brauchen. Er war allgemein bekannt …”

Im Frühjahr 1943 war der Begriff bereits so bekannt geworden, dass er nach
Ansicht des Reichsführers-SS Himmler die Tarnfunktion nicht mehr erfüllen
konnte.

Der Holocaustleugner Germar Rudolf hat mit äußerst zweifelhaften und
unwissenschaftlichen Methoden in seinem Buch “Grundlagen zur
Zeitgeschichte³ den untauglichen Versuch unternommen, eine andere Deutung
dieses Begriffes zu etablieren.

You may or may not agree with the above, but I eagerly await your input on
how Himmler’s statement: “Die Sonderbehandlung erfolgt durch den Strang.”
cited above is to be translated and interpreted.

No they weren’t. They were assimilated into the Germans, who then recycled
their ethnonym.

The Balts are a completely different group. The Balts entered their
present area more than 4,000 years ago, making them one of the oldest
groups speaking Indo-European languages in Europe. The Slavs, on the other
hand, are of much later origin, first appearing on the scene at the time
of the Völkerwanderungen.

At the time when American soldiers liberated camps such as:

with the British liberating:

– Neunegamme
[http://www1.ushmm.org:80/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10005539],

and the Soviets liberating:

– Majdanek [http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Poland/Majdanek/Liberation.html],
– Ravensbrück

– Stutthof [http://www.stutthof.pl/en/main.htm].

There was no classification into concentration, detention, forced-labor,
and extermination camps of the type that we have now. The only camps in
the above list where specifically *American* soldiers are claimed to have
seen gas chambers are Dachau
[http://www.holocaust-history.org/dachau-gas-chambers/] and Mauthausen

Giving a speech at a commemorative event is not the same as delivering a
scholarly paper at a conference of historians. Manistream historians in
all countries are in agreement that there were gas chambers at two of the
camps liberated by the Americans, specifially Dachau and Mauthausen, as
well as at all five of the camps libreated y the Sovies, specifically
Auschwitz, Majdanek, Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen, and Stutthof. These are
not allegations, but rather facts about the camps in question supported by
an abundance of historical evidence.

<quote>
Dwight D. Eisenhower on the Camps

This is what Eisenhower said on pages 408-9 of “Crusade in Europe”

“The same day [April 12, 1945] I saw my first horror camp. It was near
the town of Gotha. I have never felt able to describe my emotional
reactions when I first came face to face with indisputable
evidence of Nazi brutality and ruthless disregard of every shred of
decency. Up to that time I had known about it only generally or through
secondary sources. I am certain, however that I have never at any other
time experienced an equal sense of shock.

“I visited every nook and cranny of the camp because I felt it my duty to
be in a position from then on to testify at first hand about these
things in case there ever grew up at home the beliefor assumption that
`the stories of Nazi brutality were just propaganda.’ Some members of
the visiting party were unable to through the ordeal. I not only did so
but as soon as I returned to Patton’s headquarters that evening I sent
communications to both Washington and London, urging the two
governments to send instantly to Germany a random group of newspaper
editors and representative groups from the national legislatures. I felt
that the evidence should be immediately placed before the American and
British publics in a fashion that would leave no room for cynical
doubt.”

And on page 439

“Of all these [Displaced Persons] the Jews were in the most deplorable
condition. For years they had been beaten, starved, and tortured.”

And in “Ike the Soldier: As they knew him” (G.P. Putnam and Sons, New
York, 1987) Merle Miller quotes Eisenhower speaking on April25th 1945 to
the members of Congress and Journalists who had beenshown Buchenwald the
day before:

“You saw only one camp yesterday. There are many others Your
responsibilities, I believe, extend into a great field, and informing
the people at home of things like these atrocities is one of them…
Nothing is covered up. We have nothing to conceal. The barbarous treatment
these people received in the German concentration camps is almost
unbelievable. I want you to see for yourself and be spokesmen for the
United States.” [pages 774-5]

Eisenhower in his statement above emphasizes that the Jews had been
singled out for beating, starvation, and torture. This does not square
with your claim that the conditions there were the results of diseases and
supply problems which, of course, would have affected everyone in the camp
equally.

Mauthausen Gas Chamber

When the US Third Army liberated the infamous Nazi concentration camp at
Mauthausen on May 5, 1945, they found the bodies of several fully-clothed
dead prisoners in the gas chamber. According to the Museum at Mauthausen,
the last gassing of prisoners in the main camp was on April 28,
1945, only a week before the liberation. On April 21, 1945, the Red Cross
began evacuating prisoners out of the camp, but the gassing operation
still continued during the time that the Red Cross representative, Louis
Haeflig, was staying in the camp. A sign in the gas chamber today says
that Ludwig Haider was gassed on April 23, 1945, the same day that a Red
Cross truck took selected prisoners out of the camp, with the permission
of the Commandant.

An American Prisoner of War, Lt. Jack Taylor, told the liberators that he
had been scheduled to die in the gas chamber four times, but was saved by
the other inmates. His next scheduled date to be gassed was May 6, 1945,
but the American liberators saved him in the nick of time.

Pierre-Serge Choumoff, a “Nacht und Nebel” prisoner at the Gusen sub-camp,
wrote in one of his books that the gas chamber at Mauthausen was put into
operation in either March or May of 1942 and that 3,455 prisoners were
gassed in it. He also wrote that the SS guards had removed the gassing
equipment from the chamber on April 29, 1945 the day that Commandant Franz
Ziereis turned the camp over to the Vienna police. A sign in the gas
chamber confirms that the gassing apparatus was removed on April 29, 1945.

You are working with a comic-book-like travesty of history.

It was not only the Americans who liberated the various camps, but the
British and the Soviets as well. The Nazis had more than 10,000 camps and
subcamps, some run by the SP, other by the SS, some transit camps, some
detention camps, some forced labor camps, some womens’ camps, some
extermination camps. None of this was clear during the latewinter and
spring of 1945 when these facilities were being liberated. Additionally,
the dedicated extermiantion camps, Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka
had been dismantled and plowed under in an attempt to destroy as much
evidence as possible. Only a person ignorant of even the most basic
history of the final months of World War II would claim that the Americans
liberated the death camps. On the other hand, there is no denying the fact
that they witnessed many bits and pieces of the Holocaust. The death
marches are the best documented phase of the Holocaust. Here is an
account written on May 7, 1945 by a captain of the 5th Medical Battalion,
5th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army of his encounter with 118 Jewish
women who had been deathmarched to Volary, [now] Czech Republic, from the
Schlesiersee camp via the Helmbrechts camp and then abandoned in a barn
during the final days of the war:

“I contacted Captain Wi. at Lohora and drove to Volary [Czechoslovakia]
where I was told a group of emaciated, eacetic [sic], debili[t]ated women
were being brought to a school house used as a hospital for treatment,
>from an old barn, which was a short distance away…At the barn I met
Capt. Wa. and asked him what he had. He replied that he had a group of 118
Jewish women and said that it was the most horrible sight he ever laid his
eyes on. He asked that I go into this barn and look the situation over and
this I did. The barn was a one story wooden shack. The interior was
extremely dark and filled with filth of all sorts. My first glance at
these individuals was one of extreme shock not ever believing that a human
being can be degraded, can be starved, can be so skinny and even live
under such circumstances. My view at this time was very cursory in nature.
What I ultimately did see about this small room was like mice on top of
one another to[o] weak to as much raise an arm, In addition tio their
clothes being dirty, worn out, ill fitting, tattered and torn they were
covered for the most part with human stool which was spread for the most
part all over the floor. The explanation for this was that these women had
severe diarrhea with an evacuation about every two to five minutes. They
were too weak to walk to evacuate their bowels. One thing that surprised
me when I entered the barn is that I thought they we had a group of old
men lying around and spread about and would at this time have judged that
their ages ranged between fifty and seventy years. I was surprised and
shocked when I asked one of these girls how old she was and she said
seventeen, when to me she appeared to be no less than fifty. I then
returned to the Ortslazarett [hospital] in Volary and at this time was
given complete charge of the evacuation, housing, feeding and treatment of
these individuals from the old barn to the Ortslazarett and during their
stay in the Ortslazarett.
***
Upon examining these patients I found that they suffered from the
following symptoms and diseases; 1. extreme malnutrition 2. vitamin
deficiency diseases were present in ninety percent of these 118 women 3.
for the most part all of their feet were edemat[o]us with a four plus
pitting edema 4. severe frostbite of the toes with dry gangerine [sic]
present; in one patient in particular this gangrine extents [sic] to the
legs bi-laterally which will undoubtedly necessitate a bi-lateral
amputation in the lower one-third of the legs in the very near future. A
good percentage of these women have severe decubitous ulcers.
Approximately fifty percent have severe persistent productive coughs with
underlined pulmonary pathgology. Approximately ten percent of these women
have been wounded by shell fragments at a place near here from one to two
weeks ago and have never receioved any treatment for these wounds. The
wounds at the present time are angry looking, very possibly with localized
gangerine [sic] in many cases. At the hospital it was noted that many of
these with diarrhea were associsted with melena and high temperatures.
During the first few hours after admit[t]ing these patients to the
hospital two died. Within the next forty-eight hours one more died. At the
present time many are criticslly ill and offer a poor prognosis.”

You cannot even process information from as simple a source as a

invitation to participate in the comemmorative celebrations in Moscow, but
the president of Latvia, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, made it clear many months
ago that she intends to participate:

Latvia to join Moscow war tribute

By Steven Paulikas
BBC Baltic states correspondent

Ms Vike-Freiberga became Latvian leader after 50 years abroad

Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga has said she will attend
celebrations in Moscow marking the 60th anniversary of the end of World
War II.

Critics say the ceremonies legitimise the Soviet Union’s occupation of
Latvia at the end of the war.

In a country that was so often the victim of history, events from the past
still dominate the national agenda.

Months of passionate debate preceded the president’s decision to go to
Moscow on 9 May.

There, she will join other world leaders to commemorate the Allied victory
over Nazi Germany.

While 9 May is commemorated in the Soviet – and later Russian – popular
consciousness, in Latvia and the neighbouring Baltic states (Lithuania and
Estonia) the date evokes five decades spent under uninvited Soviet rule.

By accepting the invitation of her Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, Ms
Vike-Freiberga has chosen to strengthen strained relations between the two
countries.

She will also appease Latvia’s large ethnic Russian minority, which has
complained of government discrimination.

But to many Latvians, the president’s act of solidarity with Russia
betrays their costly struggle for independence.

Some MPs have already called on Ms Vike-Freiberga to use the occasion as a
platform to express Latvia’s version of the past.

That’s not the point.

Do you subscribe to the view that rooms that could be fumigated with HCN
without poisoning the entire camp could not also be used to kill people
with HCN without poisoning the entire camp?

Do you claim that all evidence for the Holocaust was forged,
mistranslated, or obtained by torture?

Do you claim that *Sonderbehandlung* (as in “Sonderbehandlung durch den
Strang”) means de luxe accommodation, a diplomat’s food rations, and a
daily bottle of champagne?

Do you claim that Great Britain and France, not Nazi Germany, started
WW II?

Do you claim that David Irving only lost his libel suit against Deborah
Lipstadt and Penguin Books Ltd. because the Jews paid off Judge Gray?

Do you claim that the only proof of mass murder is bones: “No bones, no
mass murder! No mass murder, no Holocaust!”?

Do you claim that the Holocaust never happened, but that the Jews
deserved it anyway?

All of these claims have been made in AR, nor does it take extraordinary
academic achievement or above-average intelligence to see that they are
specious, illogical, or both.

I don’t give a hoot in hell about your problems with your employees. Being
a Holocaust denier requires a considerable amount of arrogance, ignorance,
and deliberate denial of the historical record. If you are going to
propagate denial in this forum, I am certainly going to challenge you on
each and every point.

You have been warned.

No he didn’t. He gouged out finger-to-fist-sized chunks of wall and did
not mark which surface of his chunk was the surface of the wall, and which
surface was from behind the surface. Given that the cyanide compounds
would form on the wall surfaces, this constitutes a fatal error.

Leuchter took his single “control sample” from a deeply blue-stained part
of the disinfection chamber. However, the walls of the disinfection
chamber show irregular splotches of blue staining. To be fair, he should
have taken samples from parts of the disinfection chamber that were not so
obviously blue stained, since they were also exposed to cyanide. As it is,
taking a single sample from a deeply blue-stained portion of the wall
amounts to stacking the deck and is methodologically incorrect as well as
ethically dishonest.

Not 1,000 times. The highest reading for gas chamber ruins was 7.9 mg/kg.
This is a factor of approximately 130 and thus of the order of magnitude
of 10E2 rather than 10E3 as you are claiming. But that is beside the
point. Leuchter’s figures have no scientific value other than as positive
or negative indices since the samples underwent arbitrary dilution duirng
the sampling procedure as well as a second time when they were being
prepared for analysis. Leuchter is guilty of one of the most flagrant
deceptions that can be made in analytical chemistry: attributing
quantitative significance to figures obtained in conjunction with a purely
qualitative analysis.

> We all appear to agree on that now.

The only thing that we can all agree on is that Leuchter found positive
readings for cyanates in 14 of the 31 samples that he presented for
analysis.

We should also agree on the following:

– his choice of a sample was inappropriate: the best sample would have
been from a place known never to have been exposed to cyanide.
Alternatively, he should have taken samples from dark blue-stained, light
blue-staines, and unstained parts of the fuigation chamber wall;

– his method of sampling was inappropriate: he should have taken scraping
samples from the wall surface, rather than bulk samplings including the
wall surface and material from behind it;

– his assumptions about the concentrations of cyanide needed to kill
people as opposed to lice, and about the time-frame such concentrations,
were based on the errpneous assumption that it takes more HCN to kill
people than it does to kill lice, when precisely the opposite is the case;

– his assumptions about the identity of the conditions for the formation
of cyanide compounds were incorrect: the conditions obtaining in a warm
room full of people, with the ambient air containing an increasing amount
of CO2 and water vapor from their breath, would be different from those
obtaining in a cold room full of clothing, with the ambient air being dry
and relatively free of CO2;

– his assumptions about the identity of the short-term conditions for
cyanide retention were incorrect: when humans die, their sphincter muscles
relax, allowing the body to expell feces, urine, semen, menstrual fluid,
unborn foetuses, etc.; in order to keep the gas chamber looking and
smelling innocuous, the men of the *Sonderkommando* had to scrub it down
after each gassing and whitewash the entire facilty frequently to conceal
any signs of foul play; no such considerations came into question for the
fumigation chambers;

– his assumptions about the identity of the longer term conditions for the
retention of cyanide compounds in the two environments, one exposed to the
elements for more than forty years, the other protected from the elements,
were shown to be false by the IFRC team; Leuchter did no experiments to
detrmine the effect of water or sunlight on cyanide compounds;

– his logic is faulty: Leuchter attributes the presence of cyanide in
almost half of the samples taken from gas chamber ruins to fumigations
with HCN, yet he claims that gassing people with HCN, a far less dangerous
procedure than fumigation, could have resulted in an explosion or poisoned
the entire camp; nevertheless, an enclosure that can be fumigated using
HCN can be used to kill people using HCN provided that the proper
precautions are taken;

– he carries unnecessary cultural baggage: Leuchter worked on the
unfounded asumption that a Nazi gas chamber for killing a thousand or more
people would have the same structural attributes and technological
safeguards as an American penal gas chamber; he neglected to consider the
fact that overtly gassing a single person in a penal institution is a
totally different procedure than covertly gassing hundreds of people under
the ruse of giving them a shower or delousing regimen;

– he lacks understanding of how easy it is to kill people with gas: the
recent tragedy at the Dubrovka Theater in Moscow shows how easy it is to
convert, this time inadvertantly, a large, normally built room into a
facility where hundreds of people can be killed by manipulating the
content of the ambient air. Note that the agent introduced into the
ambient air was a non-lethal operating room aneasthetic, and that more
than 120 people, all weakened consequent to hunger, thirst, tension, and
sleep deprivation, died as a result of being exposed to it, without the
auditorium constituting any kind of threat to its immediate environment.
Of course, a tragedy on this scale is not necessary to make this point;
local police and fire departments have to deal with thousands of fatal gas
accidents and suicides that take place in normally built rooms,
apartemnts, and garages every year.

Of course they have an older history, but not as a distinct group. The
Scythians, Sarmatians, and other Bronze and Iron Age Indo-European
speaking groups eventually amalgamated to form the arguably first Slavic
culture, the Chernyakhov culture in the first centuries after the
Christian era.

There is no such thing as Ugro-Altaic.

There are Uralic languages, this phylum consisting of two families,
Finno-Ugric and Samoyed, and there are Altaic languages.

According to a now discredited theory the Uralic and Altaic languages
might be distantly related. Peopel who ascribe to this thery use the term
Ural-Altaic.

I know this family well, since I have degree studies and scholarly
publications in the field, in addition to being fluent in Finnish and
estonian, as well as a working knowledge of Sámi, Vepsian, Erzya Morvin,
and Hungarian.

Latvian, the northernmost of the two extant Baltic languages, has a strong
Finnic [= Baltic-Finnic, i.e. the linguistic subfamily to which Finnish,
Estonian, Livonian, Vepsian, Karelian, Izhorian, Vodian, and Olonetsian
belong] substratum. It is not too far from the truth to state that Latvian
is Lithuanian spoken with a strong Estonian accent. Historically, the
northern Latvians are mostly the descendants of originally Finnic speakers
who underwent a language shift to Baltic ceturies ago.

> b. Germanic

The Baltic languages are not Germanic, for they do not show the Grimm’s
Law sound changes or other defining attributes of Germanic.

> c. A group of their own that has nothing with Slavs

Their language is a group of their own that shares many innovations with
Slavic while not being Slavic. Baltic is phonologically and structureally
more archaic than Slavic. On the other hand, speakers of Baltic and Slavic
languages have also been bilingual, in addition to which many communities
at the baltic-Slavic interface have been Baltic-speaking one generation
and Slavic speaking the next. Thus, Baltic and Slavic share many features
that differentiate them from the other branches of Indo-European without
necessarily making them conflatable into the same group.

> d. Plain Indo-Europeans

The Balts introduced agriculture into an area formerly inhabited by
Finnic-speaking foragers. Rather than slaughter or subjugate them they
taught them agricukture and intermarried with them. Thus, most Finnic
basic agricultural terminology, e.g. Finnish herne ‘pea’ (cf. Lithuanian
z^irnis), silta ‘bridge’ (cf. Lihtuanian tiltas), keli ‘driving
conditions’ (cf. Lithuanian kelias ‘road’), and many words dealing with
female relatives , e.g. Finnish morsian ‘bride’ (cf. Lithuanian marti),
tytär ‘daughter’ (cf. Lithuanian dykte ~ dykter-). sisar ‘sister’ (cf.
Lithuanian sesuo ~ seser-) is borrowed from Baltic.

> They might speak a form of language that is older
> to Slavic development, but they are still Slavs
> by race.

What does “Slavs by race mean” mean? Absolutely nothing. Most Balts belong
to one of two subracial types: northern Balts tend to be anthropologically
Eastern Baltic, with a clear overlay of Nordic in the westernmost regions.
Southern Balts tend to have more in common with the so-called Phalic
subrace.

Slavs represent several racial subtypes, nor should it be forgotten that
many peoples who speak Slavic languages today can be shown to have been
speakers of Finno-Ugric or Turkic languages within the recent historical
past. Many people who self-identify as Russians have Ukrainian, Finnish,
Karelian, Mordvin, Chuvash, Udmurt, Kalmuk, or Kazakh ancestry, many
Czechs and Poles have some German ancestry, many Slovaks claim Hungarian
ancestry, many Slovenians have Visigothic ancestry, while most Macedonians
and Bulgarians have Turkic ancestry.

That would be *Herr* Holman (or in Finnish *herra* Holman).

What are you talking about? So-called race and language exist on two
different planes, and I am just trying to point this out and give a
framework for talking intelligently about both of them. Lanuage is a
better defined concept than race, because anyone can learn any language
and communities have been known to undergo language shifts within the
course of two or three generations. Racial characteristics are a part of
one’s genetic makeup and cannot even be changed by surgery (Michael
Jackson notwithstanding). Communities can also undergo a racial shift, but
this requires breeding on a massive scale with people of different races,
as happened, for example in post-conquest Mexico.

Same to you.

people than it does to kill lice, when precisely the opposite is the case;

– his assumptions about the identity of the longer term conditions for the
retention of cyanide compounds in the two environments, one exposed to the
elements for more than forty years, the other protected from the elements,
were shown to be false by the IFRC team; Leuchter did no experiments to
determine the effect of water or sunlight on the cyanide compounds formed
on the various construction materials;

As is your right. Converting a shower room to a gas chamber and then back
to a shower room is really not all that difficult. See the pictures of the
gas chamber at the Bernburg euthanasia faciltity at
http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/resource/gallery/BERN.htm.

As to the process of converting a shower room into a gas chamber, consider
SS-Oberführer Viktor Brack’s testimony at Nuremberg:

<quote>
<deletions>
Q. Witness, I think you said yesterday afternoon that these six euthanasia
stations were located at Bernburg, Brandenburg, Hadamar, Hartheim,
Grafeneck, and Sonnenstein, is that correct?

A. Yes. That is correct.

Q. When were the gas chambers at these euthanasia stations built?

A. When the institutions were set up as euthanasia institutions.

Q. Can you remember the approximate dates?

A. No. I cannot remember the dates. I just know the years when the
institutions became euthanasia institutions ‹ approximately. I know that
Grafeneck and Brandenburg were the first institutions to become euthanasia
institutions. It began at the end of 1939 at the earliest, the beginning
of 1940 at the latest. Sonnenstein and Hartheim were set up in the early
summer 1940. In the early summer or spring. The institution at Bernburg
was established in the fall or winter of 1940, Hadamar, in the winter or
spring of 1941. This is as accurate as I can give it.

Q. You said the winter or spring of 1941. Do you mean the winter of 1940
or the spring of 1941? You said the winter or spring of 1941.

A. If I say winter ’41, I mean January ’41, but it might have been March
too, I don’t know.

Q. And you think that Hadamar was the last one that was set up?

A. I am quite certain that Hadamar was the last one.

Q. Now, of what materials were these gas chambers built? Were they movable
gas chambers, very much like the low-pressure chambers that Professor Dr.
Ruff talked about, or were they something that was built permanently into
the camp or installation?

A. No special gas chamber was built. A room suitable in the hospital was
used, a room of necessity attached to the reception ward and to the room
where the insane persons were kept. This room was made into a gas chamber.
It was sealed, given special doors and windows, and then a few meters of
gas piping were laid, or some kind of piping with holes in it. Outside
this room there was a container, a compressed gas container with the
necessary apparatus, that is a pressure gauge, etc.

Q. Now what department had the responsibility for constructing or building
these gas chambers, what department of the Party or of the government?

A. No office of the Party. I don’t understand the question.

Q. Somebody had to build these chambers. Who gave the orders and who had
the responsibility of building them, was that your department?

A. I assume the orders were given by the head of the institution, but I
don’t know who actually did give the orders.

Q. In other words, were these chambers not built according to some
specifications, plans and specifications?

A. I can’t imagine that, every chamber was different. I saw several of them.

Q. Do you know what department gave the order for having the chambers
built? Was that your department under Bouhler!

A. No. It was Bouhler himself.

Q. And he gave the order to the various heads of institutions to install
this chamber, is that correct?

A. Yes.

Q. Now, how would the heads of each of these institutions know how to
install a gas chamber unless there were certain plans and specifications
given to them?

A. I never saw any such plan. I don’t know of any.

Q. Would you know how to go out and build a gas chamber unless some
engineer or planner had told you? Certainly I wouldn’t.

A. I don’t know whether I would either. Presumably he called in an engineer.

Q. That’s what I’m trying to say. What engineer or group of engineers was
responsible for seeing that these gas chambers were built so that they
would do the job they were supposed to do?

A. There was certainly no group of engineers. I presume there was somebody
at the institutions who had enough technical ability to do it. I don’t
know.

Q. Then, so far as you know, someone at one of these institutions would be
told by Bouhler to construct a gas chamber and he would call ‹ the head of
the institution then would call on someone, you don’t know whom, to go out
and build the chamber? Is that correct?

A. That is how I imagine it.

Q. Well, wouldn’t it make a considerable difference whether the chamber
was to be constructed for euthanasia by carbon monoxide or by some other
means? Wouldn’t there have to be some technical information available to
the head of the institution so that he could give directions to his
mechanic to build the thing to do the thing it was supposed to do?

A. I must say honestly I really don’t know anything about that. I can’t judge.

Q. Do you know whether or not any department of the government, under
Bouhler, or under Brandt, or under anybody else, was responsible for
seeing that the gas apparatus was installed properly?

A. I don’t know, but I don’t believe so because I would probably have
heard of it.

Q. How large were these gas chambers?

A. They were of different sizes. It was simply an adjoining room. I can’t
remember whether they were 4 x 5 meters, or 5 x 6 meters. Simply normal
sized rooms, but I can’t tell you the exact size. It was too long ago. I
can’t remember.

Q. Were they as large as this courtroom?

A. No. They were just normal rooms.

Q. Well, a man of your intelligence must have some idea about the size of
these rooms. The assertion “normal size” doesn’t mean anything in
particular.

A. By that I mean the size of the normal room in a normal house. I didn’t
mean an assembly room or a cell either. I meant a room, but I can’t tell
you the exact size because I really don’t know it. It might have been 4 x
5 meters, or 5 x 6 meters, or 31/2 x 41/2, but I really don’t know. I
didn’t pay much attention to it.

Q. Have you ever visited a concentration camp or a military camp of any kind?

A. I visited a concentration camp, and I was once in a military camp as a
soldier.

Q. Have you ever seen a shower room or shower bath built into a camp of
that kind where the inmates of concentration camps, or where soldiers in a
military barracks, can take showers?

A. Yes, I have. In my own barracks.

Q. And would you say that this euthanasia room at the various institutions
was about that dimension?

A. I think it was much smaller.

Q. Well, perhaps we can get at it this way. I thought perhaps you knew
something about the mechanical construction that I supposed everybody knew
something about. This room of yours that you talk about, how many people
would it accommodate?

A. Yesterday I said that according to my estimate it might have been
twenty-five or thirty people.

Q. And that is still your estimate today? I remember yesterday that you
said that, and that is still your estimate today, it could comfortably
take care of twenty-five or thirty people?

A. Yes. That’s my estimate.

Q. Now, the carbon monoxide gas that was used for the purpose of
euthanasia, where did it come from? I know you said yesterday that it came
out of tubes very much like oxygen came in, but where did the tubes come
from? Do you know?

A. I don’t know. They were the normal steel containers which can be seen
everywhere.

Q. Do you know how they reached the camp?

A. That I don’t know.

Q. Do you know whether any department of the government was responsible
for furnishing the gas to the camp?

A. No. They were probably bought.

Q. You think then that perhaps the superintendent of the institution, if
he wanted some carbon monoxide gas, would just walk downtown and walk into
a store and buy a steel tube of it and put it under his arm and carry it
on back to the camp; pay for it out of his pocket?

A. No, not out of his own pocket but through the institution. The
institutions bought them, I mean.

Q. Do you know from what sources the institution bought it?

A. Yes. All the funds came from the Reich Ministry of the Interior. They
were advanced by the Party treasurer.

Q. Well, now, at that time, wasn’t virtually everything in Germany of a
critical nature on some sort of priority? Do you understand what I mean?

A. No.

Q. Would not the diversion of this carbon monoxide in tubes to the various
institutions have to be given a priority rating and approved by someone or
by some department in the government and thus be made available to the
hospitals? Don’t you understand what I mean?

A. Yes, I understand. I have no idea, but I don’t believe so. Why?

Q. What was done with the bodies of these people after mercy deaths were given?

A. When the room had been cleared of gas again, stretchers were brought in
and the bodies were carried into an adjoining room. There the doctor
examined them to determine whether they were dead.

Q. Then what happened to the bodies?

A. When the doctor had determined death, he freed the bodies for cremation
and then they were cremated.

Q. After he had freed the bodies, had determined that they were dead, they
were then cremated? Is that correct?

A. Yes.

Q. There was a crematory built for every one of these institutions?

A. Yes. Crematoriums were built in the institutions.

Q. Do you know whether or not ‹ what department or agency, either under
the government, that is, the Reich government, or under the superintendent
of the various institutions, was responsible for this detail of cremation?

A. I don’t understand. Bouhler ordered the cremation. Bouhler ordered, on
principle, that the bodies were to be cremated after death. There was no
office for that.

Q. Was there any report made to anyone of the fact that certain people,
who had been selected for euthanasia had finally arrived at these
institutions, had actually been accorded the privilege of mercy deaths and
then had been cremated?

A. No. I know nothing about that.

Q. No records were kept at all?

A. Oh, I thought you said reports. Now you mean records?

Q. I don’t care what you call it. There must have been a report or record
of some kind kept of these people. Was there?

A. Yes, of course. Not only the case histories, but the personal data of
the individual patients were collected at the euthanasia institution and
there the death records were added and whatever else was available. In my
direct examination I pointed out that there were announcements to the
agencies concerned, for example, the guardianship court. All these files
were sent to Tiergartenstrasse 4.

Q. They were finally sent to Tiergartenstrasse 4?

A. Yes.

Q. Isn’t it true that only in that way could an accurate record or report
of this program be made?

A. I didn’t understand. Whether this fact created accurate records about
the people, or whether records were kept?

Q. Records were kept, were they not, of this entire transaction of each
individual from the time he was expertized?

A. Yes.

Q. Until finally he was cremated?

A. Yes.

Q. And those records were filed with T-4?

A. Yes. They were kept there.

Q. Now, I believe you said that these euthanasia chambers were built to
resemble shower rooms?

A. Yes. That’s how I remember it.

Q. And the only people that were accorded euthanasia were people who were
incurably insane, I think you said?

A. Yes.

Q. These were people who, as you put it, on ethical grounds did not have
the mental capacity either to consent or to resist the decision to grant
them euthanasia, and that consequently as you viewed it, it was a humane
procedure to accord them a mercy death; is that correct, did I understand
you correctly?

A. Yes.

Q. Now, were these people, the ones whom you saw, so insane as not to
understand where they were or what was going on around them?

A. I can only say that of course I am not a doctor and therefore not in a
position to judge the condition of such patients, but when I was at such
institutions I myself saw that the patients, in as far as they were able
to walk, went into these chambers or rooms where they were told to go
without any objection and sat down on the benches or lay down and were
quite quiet.

I don’t know to what extent they realized where they were. I do know,
however, that they were not in any way worried, but perfectly calm.
Bouhler had ordered that the doctors were to arrange things so that the
patients would not realize what was being done to them.

Q. And that was the reason that the gas chambers were constructed to
resemble shower rooms, I suppose?

A. Yes.

Q. And these people thought that they were going in to take a shower bath?

A. If any of them had any power of reasoning, they no doubt thought that.

Q. Well now, were they taken into the shower rooms with their clothes on,
or were they nude?

A. No. They were nude.

Q. In every case?

A. Whenever I saw them, yes.

Q. And you said, I believe, yesterday that you witnessed perhaps some 10
to 12, or 15, or 20 occasions when groups were accorded mercy deaths?

A. No. I said that I visited each of the institutions, with the exception
of Hadamar, at least once, perhaps twice.

Q. And on each occasion did you witness the according of a mercy death to
a group?

A. Yes.

Persze, hogy jó!

What’s your point? Do you deny that there was a concentration camp at
Mauthausen? Do you deny that the Americans liberated it? Do you not
understand that some of the detainees at Mauthausen had been there for
months and were emaciated, while others had been there for only weeks or
days and were not emaciated?

As obvious as Leuchter’s taking a single “control” sample from a deeply
blue stained splotch in a fumigation chamber, the walls of which had
darkly stained, lightly stained, and unstained portions?

As obvious as Leuchter’s referring to the 14 out of 31 samples that tested
positive for exposure to cyanide as “hardly any” and “the few”?

As obvious as Leuchter’s claim that the facilities the ruins of which he
examined could be fumigated with Zyklon-B, but that using Zyklon-B to kill
people in them meant the risk of an explosion or of poisoning the entire
camp?

As obvious as Leuchter’s assumption that the conditions obtaining when the
two types of environments were exposed to cyanide, as well as the
conditions to which they were exposed between 1945 and the time the
samples were taken did not have to be taken into account when evaluating
the samples?

As obvious as Leuchter’s presentation of the results of a qualitative
analysis as figures with quantitative significance?

As obvious as Leuchter’s unwarranted assumption that a covert facility for
gassing a thousand people at a time had to have the same technical,
engineering, and backup systems that an overt American penal execution gas
chamber has?

Why? Such a gas chamber would have the problem of *looking* like a gas
chamber, for which reason the logistics of herding more than 1,000 people
into it would be overwhelming. Gassing large numbers of people is not
simply a matter of technology, convincing them to enter the gas chamber
and remain peaceful once inside of it is at least as important as the
actual procedure. A high-tech engineering marvel is *not* the way to go if
you are implementing covert mass gassings and are vastly outnumbered by
your intended victims.

The holes are there, at least in the ruins of Krema II. And what is so
difficult about figuring out a way to introdice the contents of a few
canisters of Zyklon-B to the gas chambers. Apartments and train cars that
are fumigated with Zyklon-B lack insertion holes or columns, but nobody
denies that they can be fumigated with the stuff.

No it isn’t. A gassing accident is the consequence of a known and easily
replicable set of parameters. Consequently, the simplest methodology to
implement a mass gassing would be to replicate the conditions known to
have obtained during a mass gassing accident. Far from being ridiculous, a
comparison of the Dubrovka Theater gassing accident to the non-technical
solutions for mass gassing used by the Nazis shows that the technical
problem of killing people by the hundreds or thousands is quite simple
once you solve the logistical problem of getting them into the sturdily
built enclosure, the ambient air of which is to be manipulated.
Introducing a fast acting lethal agent to the ambient air in such an
enclosure, waiting until it has done its work, and then allowing it to
dissipate is frightening in its simplicity. You know as well as I do that
if the contents of a few cansisters of Zyklon-B, rather than a non-lethal
operating room opiate, had been introduced to the ambient air in the
auditiorium of the Dubrovka Theater, all 800-odd people in the room would
have died within the space of a few minutes. This accident in all of its
tragic simplicity hows how easily an effective mass execution gas chamber
can be improvised. Once the parameters are known, the procedure can be
repeated as often as needed. There is nothing ridiculous in pointing this
out.

Why should a complex engineering solution be applied to a problem that can
be dealt with far more simply using a non-technical methodology? The Nazis
would have been fools to waste scarce resources on an engineering marvel
when replicating the conditions obtaining in a fatal gassing accident is
so much simpler, both logistically and procedurally. It would also leave
far less evidence of criminal intent.

Theoretically, why not? During the days before the yanks arrived it was
business as usual at the camp.

Richard Breitman’s book *Official Secrets. What the Nazis planned, What
the British and Americans knew* [for an excerpt and a review, see
http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/b/breitman-secrets.html] uses the
content of coded German police messages deciphered by British intelligence
to demonstrate clearly that London and Washington were aware of the mass
murders of the Jews that were being carried out on Germany’s eastern front
in real time. The code messages were sent by the units of the order police
(Ordungspolizei) who were assisting the Einsatzgruppen. Breitman
demonstrates convincingly that all the previously prevented arguments that
the governments of the Western powers had insufficient information about
the mass destruction of the Jews are specious.

So was Hitler.

Nevertheless, Austria was absorbed into Germany in 1938 and occupied by
the Allies between 1945 and 1955, when its sovereignty was regained.
Schwartzenegger is Austrian by birth and citizenship, but his father
served in the *Wehrmacht*, the army of the *Deutsches Reich*, Nazi
Germany, during WW II.

According to the Nazis, who looked at the world through an ethnic prism,
Austria was an artificial state created to weaken the German *Volk* by
dividing it. One of the primary purposes of Hitler’s *Deutsches Reich* was
to unite all people of German ethnicity under one flag and further the
cause of Germanness over all other nations.

Correct. The Nazis went to great efforts to destroy evidence of their
crimes against humanity. Nevertheless, the courage of David Zivcon ensured
that a photographic records would be preserved as a counterevidence for
those who would claim that it never happened.

Humanity Committed in the Territory of Latvia from 1940 to 1956 during
the Occupations of the Soviet Union and National Socialist Germany
Second Sub-Commission: Holocaust in the Territory of Latvia during
Nazi Occupation 1941-1945

The total annihilation of Jews, known as the Holocaust, in
Nazi-occupied Latvia was the worst crime committed in Latvian
territory in the twentieth century. It is stands out because of
the indescribable sadism with which it was committed and the huge number
of victims.

Historical Background and Summary

The decision to annihilate the Jews was made by German occupation
authorities. Latvia was not a sovereign state, and there were no Latvian
institutions in existence that could have influenced the decision of the
occupation authorities one way or another. Latvian civil society had been
inflicted severe wounds by the brutal terror of the preceding Soviet
occupation (17 June, 1940end of June, 1941); it encountered German
occupation physically and morally weakened.

The number of Holocaust victims comprises the largest single group of
people who lost their lives because of occupation regimes from June 1940,
the destruction of independence, to May 1945, the end of the war. More
than 70,000 Latvian Jews and more than 20,000 Jews brought to Latvia from
1941 to 1944 from other occupied countries of Europe (Austria, the
annexed parts of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Lithuania) and Germany proper
were killed.

The Germans exhumed many mass graves and cremated their contents during

So you are claiming that the Ereignismeldungen of the Einsatzkommandos and
collective memory of thousands of compatriots being slaughtered are all
products of delusion? And what about the times when collective memory of
mass murder and the contents of mass graves coincie, as at Serniki and
Ustinovka [http://www.abc.net.au/quantum/stories/s124137.htm]?

Correct. The Liepaja massacres have to be put into context. I used *The
Progress Report of Latvia’s History Commission: Crimes against Humanity
Committed in the Territory of Latvia from 1940 to 1956 during the
Occupations of the Soviet Union and National Socialist Germany Second
Sub-Commission: Holocaust in the Territory of Latvia during Nazi
Occupation 1941-1945* to provide this necessary context. Latvia is not a
country that comes to the mind of most readers when discussing the
Holocaust, so I felt obliged to provide this background information.

Almost 3,000 local Jews were massacred at Liepaja between December 15 and
17, 1941. They are part of the 70,000 Latvian Jews murdered by the Nazis
as well as of the 90,000 Jews murdered by the Nazis in Latvia between 1941
and 1944.

It adds up: 3,000 Jews at Liepaja + 25,000 at Rumbula + 33,000 at Babi
Yar, + approx. 1,500,000 at Auschwitz + approx. 135,000 by Einsatzgruppe A
in Ostland and Belarussia… Have you never heard the expression many
small streams a mighty river make?

The massacre was also recorded on film, and the photographs match the
location of the film. The police and military assignments and other
documents generated by this incident, as well as the testimony of
perpetrators, provide a detailed picture of what went on. You can’t kill
3,000 people in a small city like Liepaja without news of it getting out.

> holocau$t is a fraud.

No. You are the fraud. You do not accept *anything* as evidence, whether
it is cinematographic, photographic, documental, testimonial, or forensic.
You seem to think that eliminating people by the thousands is not going to
generate a lot of evidence of various types. You probably even deny that
the Nazis occupied Latvia and the other two Baltic countries, and set up a
governmental structure that implemented the same policies that were being
impelemented elsewhere in Hitler’s Reich, these including the physical
elimination of those Jews, Gypsies, and other “undesirables” who could not
first be exploited for slave labor. You also seem to think that if a
criminal is successful in destroying the evidence of his crimes, then it
cannot be proven that the crimes were committed. Well, you can’t commit
90,000 murders within the course of slightly more than three years, as the
Nazis did in Latvia, and not leave all kinds of indirect evidence of what
you have done.

The mass grave at Serniki contained about 550 bodies, according to Prof.
Wright. That is hardly “dozens”.

Not necessarily after 60 years. A mass grave can be exhumed, the contents
cremated, and the entire area plowed under. If this took place more than
sixty years a forest and undergrowth could have made the former grave
indistinguishable from its surroundings.

How could anti-German propaganda have been so amazingly effective over six
decades? How could the propagandists have produced so many stories and
documents from Norway in the north to Greece and former Yugoslavia in the
south, from the Netherlands in the west to Belarus and Ukraine in the
east?

It is desirable, since it can be regarded as direct proof. But even when
there is a grave its contents can be interpreted in more than one way.
Despite the testimony of eyewitnesses who corroborated the arrangement of
the contents of the mass grave at Serniki before it was exhumed, there are
Holocaust deniers out there who have tried to claim that the people in the
grave were killed by the Soviet NKVD to make the Nazis look bad.

There are no mass graves for the people who died consequent to the atomic
bombings of central Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and there are precious few for
the victims of the Dresden bombings. The absence of these graves does not
mean that the events in question did not take place. There is a mass grave
in the old Jewish cemetery in Riga where the more than 1,000 people who
were shot in the ghetto and along Moscow Road were dumped on November 30
and December 8, 1941. The municipality of Riga has treated it as a mass
grave since the day that it received its first bodies. Little purpose
would be served by digging it up and examining its putrid contents after
sixty years.

Historical knowledge and understanding of atrocities committed in the past
rests on a far firmer foundation than merely counting and classifying the
bones in mass graves.

Without that context many readers of alt.revisionism would have no idea

You forget that they set up an occupation government that was even more
murderous in terms of murders per year than the Soviets had been during
their year in power.

Actually, the 1940-1941 occupation was a classical occupation following
the subversion of the legal government. The same holds true, matatis
mutandis for the 1941-1944 Nazi occupation, although the Nazis engaged in
serious ethnic cleansing and brought in Jews to replace the locsal Jews
that they had murdered. The real colonization of Latvia took place between
1944 and 1991 when Latvians were deported to Siberia and people, uusually
Russian speaking and often ethnic Russian, were brought in to replace
them.

I just picked out some well-known examples. I have neither the time nor
the need to list every atrocity committed by the Nazis along the eastern
front. I do know, however, that they were committed along a line
stretching from Tallinn, were a few hundred local Jews were shot outside
the city in the fall of 1941, to Sebastopil in the Crimean Peninsula.
Every city or town along this line with a Jewish population of any size
has affected: Tartu, Daugavpils, Kaunas, Minsk, Kishinev, Odessa, Kiev,
Starokamensk, Dnepropetrovsk…

During the war Auschwitz was in the Reich, in the Wartheland, which was
taken from Poland, to be precise. And where in the material quoted have I

Of course not. If you kill 90,000 people in an urbanized, undusrialized
society, you necessarily generate paper trails. This includes the one
generated by organizing the mass killing as well as the one generated by
the complex process of locating, gathering, storing, guarding, evaluating,
and disposing of their property, assets, and real estate. The Nazis were
not just murderers, they were also plunderers and thieves, and they left
clear records of their thievery. Material of this kind is sored in
archives in Latvia and Germany, and it has been used as evidence in
post-war trials of the major war criminals responsible for the Latvian
part of the Holocaust.

Provided it is used in an enclosure. Otherwise it is worthless as a

I know this. Note that even you put “Germany” in quotes, because there was
no Germany as a political entity until 1871, as you say later.

Been there, done that. The principalities that united to form Bismarck’s

histories, despite the fact that German language and culture played a

Zyklon-B is lethally dangerous if allowed to outgas in enclosures, but
useless if it outgasses into the open air. Matches are useful in the open
air, but useless under water. Russian is useful in Moscow, Russia, but
worthless in Moscow, Idaho. Can’t you understand the importance of

Please provide a reference.

> You cant have it both ways.

Recognizing that the same substance has different functionalities in
different contexts is not “having it both ways”. You can disinfect a
building with Zyklon-B, but not a mountain (unless you can seal it off and
enclose it in a tent). Similarly, the fast-acting operating room opiate
used at the Dubrovka Theater in Moscow during the recent hostage crisis is
safe when applied by a trained anesthesiologist, but it can be lethal when
introduced to the ambient air in an auditorium full of nervous, hungry,
and sleep-deprived people.

The 4 million figure was not manufactured. It was offered to a public
eager for a figure, any figure, a few weeks after the camp was liberated
as a rough initial estimate of the number of victims. It was based upon
the unfounded assumption that the camp had been opened with the same
facilities that it had when it was liberated and had been working at full
capacity since the beginning. The figure was already challenged in 1946.
As more material became available about the architectural history of the
camp, work schedules, shutdowns, and deportation arrivals, the figure was
gradually reduced, even if the plaque was not updated to reflect this
until much later.

That is a totally unjustified assumption. Once again, you look at the
document, but do not put it into a context.

First of all, the document is dated August 12, 1942. This is a time period
when the efficient Kremas II to IV had not even been constructed at
Auschwitz-Birkenau and two converted farmhouses, bunker I and bunker II,
were being used for the gassings. According to German law Zyklon-B had to
have an irritant, but to facilitate the mass murder of people, the SS had
demanded that DEGESCH, the supplier, violate the law and supply shipments
of Zyklon-B without the required irritant. This is the variety of Zyklon-B
that resulted in the »leichte Vergiftungserscheinigung durch Blausäure«
due to the fact that »Das jetzt verwendete Gas enthält wenige beigesetzte
Geruchsstoffe und ist daher besonders gefährlich.«. When defending himself
at his trial, the general director of DEGESCH, stated that this variety of
Zyklon-B assisted the condemned people to an easy death.

The conditions that obtained when using the converted farmhouses as gas
chambers differed radically from those that obtained a year later in
August 1943 when the four specially designed gas chamber-cum-crematorium
complexes at Auschwitz-Birkenau had been taken into operation.

> It would have made the operation of the hospital rather difficult. As

By August 1942 Krema I was being used only intermittently for gassings,
most of these operations were being conducted in bunkers I and II at
Birkenau
(http://www.wsg-hist.uni-linz.ac.at/Auschwitz/HTMLd/Gaskammern.html).
>
> Or maybe you wish to have it both ways again?

There is no two ways about it.

Your document raises several difficult issues that you must address with
regard to the properties and use of Zyklon-B:

1. Why does Höß use the singular (»Ein heute mit leichte
Gifterscheinigungen aufgetretener Krankheitsfall«), but you claimed that
his letter described how “all his SS men were getting poisoned from Zyklon
B”? It is quite a jump from »ein aufgretener Krankheitsfall« to “all of
his SS men”.
2. Why there should have been a specially commissioned (and illegal)
variety of Zyklon-B lacking the warning irritant, thus rendering it
particularly dangerous?
3. Why should Höß’s SS-men be participating in »Vergasungen« gassings
at all if they only involved delousing clothes?

Quite clearly, the gassings at the bunkers during the summer of 1942 when
the incident took place were being used to develop a more efficient
methodology for mass gassing. In his memoirs Höß says that the doors to
the gas chambers, presumably meaning those in the industrially efficient
Kremas II to V at Birkenau, could be opened about half an hour after the
ventilation process had begun. The article by Richard Green and jamie
McCarthy at
http://www.holocaust-history.org/auschwitz/chemistry/not-the-science/
gives a mathematical model of the dissipation of the gas after ventilation
that is consistent with Höß’s statements:

<quote>
<deletions>
Ventilation

The Sonderkommando were slave laborers: to their SS slavemasters they
were expendable. The SS certainly did not have to obey OSHA regulations.
They would not be averse to exposing the Sonderkommando to concentrations
of approximately 40 ppmv (“slight symptoms after several hours”). Even if
the full concentration of 4500 to 18,100 ppmv had released from the Zyklon
into the gas chambers, it would only be necessary to reduce that
concentration by a factor of 100-500 times to reach this tolerable level.

It is not the case that the full concentration of Zyklon was present. At
the largest Auschwitz crematoria (II and III), the Zyklon was removed
after a lethal quantity of gas was given off, using the same devices which
inserted it . At these buildings, where the large majority of gassings
took place, essentially any absolute rate of outgassing could be achieved,
at any temperature and humidity, by pouring in sufficient Zyklon. Once the
victims were dead, the remaining carrier material could be lifted out by
SS men wearing gas masks, to continue outgassing harmlessly into the open
air until spent.

Inspection of Irmscher’s paper shows (assuming the Erco carrier) that the
concentration that would be present after 30 minutes, for example, would
have been 20 to 40% of the total, i.e., 900-7200 ppmv. So it was only
necessary to reduce the concentration in the gas chambers by a factor of
20-200 times in order for the Sonderkommando to enter even without gas
masks . The remainder of the Zyklon could outgas safely in the outside
atmosphere – without, needless to say, “poisoning the entire camp.”

The gas chambers were 30 m long by 7 m wide: 210 sq m. They were 2.4 m
high, for a volume of 504 cu m. [39] Those same chambers had a
ventilation system with both intake and exhaust fans, capable of cycling
8000 cu m through the room each hour. [40] This is commonly referred to
as 8000 ÷ 504 = 15.8 “air exchanges per hour.”

Note that the Holocaust-denier Carlo Mattogno has misrepresented these
figures in his essay, “Auschwitz: The End of a Legend.” [41]

It is impossible, of course, to get an exact figure for how long it
actually took to clear the air in the gas chamber. But we can obtain
approximations through mathematical modeling. The equation used is a
simple one: the concentration in the gas chamber is cut to 1/ e, or about
37%, for each room replacement of air. Where C(t) is the concentration of
HCN at time t in hours,

C(t) = C(0) (1/ e)15.8t

This equation supposes that the fresh air mixes with the air in the
chamber immediately and completely. In reality it does not do so.
Ventilation systems are designed to have an air flow such that the
expelled air has a higher concentration of poison, so this equation might
seem conservative. In addition, the victims’ corpses take up space which
has not been figured into any of the below calculations; this would reduce
the volume and increase the replacement rate, again indicating that this
figure is conservative. But blockages caused by the same corpses, and the
possibility of laminar airflow, might work in the other direction. All in
all, this estimate will suffice.

Using this equation, if C(0) = 900 ppmv, the concentration is less than
20 ppmv after just 15 minutes.

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists produces an
Industrial Hygiene Calculator program for the Windows operating system.
[42] When the size and ventilation rates of the gas chamber are converted
to cubic feet and minutes, it returns identical results to the above
equation.

It should also be pointed out that, halfway through their period of use,
the size of these gas chambers was cut in half: [43]

Leichenkeller I proved in the end to be too large for a gas chamber. At
the end of 1943, in order to “regularize” the operation of crematoria II
and III, the camp administration divided their gas chambers in two,
allowing no more than 100 sq m for the killing of 1,000 new arrivals
(unfit for work) in 24 hours.

If one makes the logical assumption that the intake and exhaust vents were
also blocked off in the unused portion of the gas chambers, this
modification doubled the ventilation rate of the remaining portion.
However, we will continue to use the figures from 1943; if a gassing from
1944 is referenced, ventilation times would be cut in half.

We return to the question of how long it would take to ventilate the gas
chamber from the level used in killing to a level which the Sonderkommando
could safely tolerate without a gas mask. We have seen that this took
place in less than 15 minutes from an initial concentration of 900 ppmv.

If the initial concentration were more than seven times higher
(7200 ppmv), owing to the nature of exponential math, the same
concentration of under 20 ppmv would be reached in less than 23 minutes.
Even if the residual Zyklon had not been removed and the chambers had the
full concentration of 18,100 ppmv, the concentration would be less than
20 ppmv in 26 minutes.

In fact, since OSHA guidelines (above) give specifications not for maximum
exposure but for mean exposure over fifteen minutes, we can use these
values to understand what the Sonderkommando would experience. In the
graph below, an initial concentration of 900 ppmv is assumed for the solid
lines. The concentration is plotted in red. In blue is plotted the mean
exposure over fifteen minutes for someone entering the gas chamber at the
specified time. The dashed lines show the same information assuming an
initial concentration of 7,200 ppmv: [44]

After ten minutes, in the former case, the ambient concentration was
about 65 ppmv, and someone who entered the room at that point would
receive a mean exposure to HCN, from t=10 minutes to t=25 minutes, of
about 17 ppmv. Recall that 20 ppmv is the low end of Du Pont’s symptom
category: “slight symptoms after several hours.”

It is thus safe to say that, with these assumptions, the Sonderkommando
could enter the gas chamber ten minutes after ventilation began, wearing
no gas masks, and experience no significant effects from the HCN.

If we instead assume the highest estimated initial concentration of
7,200 ppmv, the dashed lines would apply. Thus, the Sonderkommando could
enter after eighteen minutes with no serious effects.

This conservative estimate fits with Pressac’s conclusion that the doors
were typically opened after twenty minutes of ventilation. [45]

That is a totally unjustified assumption. You look at the document, but do
not put it into its context.

First of all, the document is dated August 12, 1942. This is a time period
when the efficient Kremas II to V had not even been constructed at
Auschwitz-Birkenau and two converted farmhouses, bunker I and bunker II,
were being used for the gassings. According to German law Zyklon-B had to
have an irritant, but to facilitate the mass murder of people, the SS had
demanded that DEGESCH, the supplier, violate the law and supply shipments
of Zyklon-B without the required irritant. This is the variety of Zyklon-B
that resulted in the »leichte Vergiftungserscheinigung durch Blausäure«
due to the fact that »Das jetzt verwendete Gas enthält wenige beigesetzte
Geruchsstoffe und ist daher besonders gefährlich.«. When defending himself
at his trial, Dr. Gerhard Peters, the general director of DEGESCH, stated
that this variety of Zyklon-B assisted the condemned people to an easy
death.

There is no two ways about it.

Your document raises several difficult issues that you must address with
regard to the properties and use of Zyklon-B:

20 ppmv after just 15 minutes.

Your document raises several difficult issues that you must address with
regard to the properties and use of Zyklon-B:

1. Why does Höß use the singular (»Ein [heute mit leichten
Gifterscheinigungen aufgetretener] Krankheitsfall«), but you claimed that
his letter described how “all his SS men were getting poisoned from Zyklon
B”? It is quite a jump from »ein…aufgretener Krankheitsfall« to “all of
his SS men”.
2. Why there should have been a specially commissioned (and illegal)
variety of Zyklon-B lacking the warning irritant, thus rendering it
particularly dangerous?
3. Why should Höß’s SS-men be participating in »Vergasungen« gassings
at all if the gassings only involved delousing clothes?

On thing at a time, please. After the war it was initially claimed that
four million people had been killed at Auschwitz, not all of them Jews by
any means. Estimates were indeed gien that close to six million Jews had
been killed, but, after having killed more than 200,000 Jews between June
22, 1941 and mid January, 1942, the Nazis still called a conference at
Wannsee at which they claimed that 11,000,000 Jews still remained to be
dealt with within the framework of the Final Solution:

III.
Another possible solution of the problem has now taken the place of
emigration, i.e. the evacuation of the Jews to the East, provided that
the Führer gives the appropriate approval in advance.

These actions are, however, only to be considered provisional, but
practical experience is already being collected which is of the greatest
importance in relation to the future final solution of the Jewish
question.

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
Bialystok 400,000
Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia 74,200
Estonia – free of Jews –
Latvia 3,500
Lithuania 34,000
Belgium 43,000
Denmark 5,600
France / occupied territory 165,000
unoccupied territory 700,000
Greece 69,600
Netherlands 160,800
Norway 1,300

B. Bulgaria 48,000
England 330,000
Finland 2,300
Ireland 4,000
Italy including Sardinia 58,000
Albania 200
Croatia 40,000
Portugal 3,000
Rumania including Bessarabia 342,000
Sweden 8,000
Switzerland 18,000
Serbia 10,000
Slovakia 88,000
Spain 6,000
Turkey (European portion) 55,500
Hungary 742,800
USSR 5,000,000
Ukraine 2,994,684
White Russia
excluding Bialystok 446,484

Total over 11,000,000

The number of Jews given here for foreign countries includes, however,
only those Jews who still adhere to the Jewish faith, since some
countries still do not have a definition of the term “Jew” according to
racial principles.

The handling of the problem in the individual countries will meet with
difficulties due to the attitude and outlook of the people there,
especially in Hungary and Rumania. Thus, for example, even today the Jew
can buy documents in Rumania that will officially prove his foreign
citizenship.

The influence of the Jews in all walks of life in the USSR is well known.
Approximately five million Jews live in the European part of the USSR, in
the Asian part scarcely 1/4 million.

The Nazis obviously dispute your figures. In many countries being a Jew
was a matter of self-identification and olifestyle, but as the above
excerpt demonstrates, the Germans regarded being Jewish as a racial
characteristic. In Hungary, for example, many people whose grandparents
were Jews but who themselves were practicing Catholics were regarded as
Jews by the Nazis. the same holds true for former US Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright, raised a Catholic in a family that had converted from
Judaism. The Nazi authorities in her native Czechoslovakia still regarded
her families as Jews. This point is made in the above excerpt, where it is
stated:

“The number of Jews given here for foreign countries includes, however,

> Somehow more Jews exited that war than entered it.

Many Jews were killed during the war, including the overwhelming majority
of the Jews in Poland, Greece, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Yugoslavia, and
Hungary. The vibrant Yiddish-using Jewish culture that had flourished in
eastern central Europe before the war was virtually annihilated.

The Nazis would obviously have disputed your 5,000,000 figure. In some
countries being a Jew was a matter of self-identification and lifestyle,
but as the above excerpt demonstrates, the Germans regarded being Jewish
as a racial characteristic and they imposed this definition on the
countries that they occupied or were allied with. In Hungary, for example,
many people whose grandparents were Jews but who themselves were
practicing Catholics were regarded as Jews by the Nazis. The same holds
true for former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, raised a
Catholic in a family that had converted from Judaism. The Nazi authorities

The first thing that we note is the nature of the punishment: more than
two years in a death trap for having had a roll in the hay with a person

If the Nazis were running a facility with a death rate like that, they
were obviously guilty of mass murder by neglect.

Of course not. As an inmate her movement was restrivted. Auschwitz had
several subcamps and deportation and other records show that well over a
million people interacted with the camp in one way or another during its
existence.

Hardly surprising, since gassing s were conducted inside of gas chambers.
If you want to be all pedantic, nobody ever actually witnessed a gassing.
The closest to a gassing witness would be the SS-men who secured the door
when the people who were inside were still alive, and then opened it an
hour later, when they were all dead.

She was a young and naive girl who had to pay an extraordinary price for a

Penal gassings used to be performed at San Quentin Prison outside San
Fransisco. How many inmates, even death row inmates, could claim that they
had ever actually seen a gassing? As was the case at Auschwitz, gassings
were talked about, but performed out of the sight of people who were not
legally involved with the specific case. You can’t gas people with cyanide
unless you have them locked in a firmly built enclosure, so that already
precludes prying eyes. In the American penal system there is a window,
because executions have witnesses. In the Nazi system there were windows
for cross ventilation in some gas chambers, but they were firmly shut
during the execution phase of the gassing. Only a tiny peephole in the

Nonsense. You are constatntly being admonished to stop top-posting and
reposting lines of material that we have already read and are no longer
cogent. People who want the content that is of secondary importance can
read the earlier postings in the thread. There is no need to waste

Newsreader programs arrange postings in threads so that people can comment
on the essentials and backtrack if necessary to retrieve earlier content.
My newsreader even has a function called *Open all references* which will
even open postings in a thread that are no longer displayed.

Not exactly. I am racially mixed and regarded by default as
African-American. On my mother’s side, though, there are family records of
Sephardic links to a Jacob Nuñez/Nunhez, who left Spain via Portugal and
settled in Georgia during the 1770s, eventually seeing his daughter marry
into the Oglethorpe clan. These facts, although interesting from the
standpoint of my personal history, have absolutely nothing to do with the
material that we are discussing here. The Nazis were primarily interested
in exterminating Ashkenazic, not Sephardic, Jews.

Wrong.

All dedicated extermination camps (Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka)
were in Poland, but there were concentration camps all over Nazi-occupied
Europe, e.g. Vaivara near Narva in Estonia, Salapspils, near Riga in
Latvia, Vugt in the Netherlands, Drancy in a suburb of Paris, France, etc.
There were over 1,000 camps and over 10,000 detention places if subcamps
and ghettos are counted (for details, see
http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/timeline/camps.htm).

By the way, Auschwitz was in Germany during the war. The Nazis annexed
some territory from Poland after the 1939 invsion, and the Wartheland,
where Auschwitz was located, was inside the Reich, as opposed to being
merely on territory being occupied by it, between late 1939 and early
1945.

This figure is incorrect. Not a single Finnish Jew was murdered in Finland
or anywhere else by the Nazis. Indeed, the Finnish Jews found themselves
in the bizarre situation of fighting together with the Nazis as
comrades-in-arms against a common foe, the Soviet Union.

In the fall of 1942 a small group of people who had found refuge in
Finland, eight of them Jews, were handed over to the Gestapo because they
or members of their families had committed crimes in Finland or otherwise
violated the conditions of their residence permits. They wound up in
Auschwitz, and seven of the eight Jews in the group perished there. See
http://www.finemb.org.il/Historia.htm for details.

No. Finnish Jews and Jews in Finland are not the same thing. Finnish Jews
are Jewish citizens of Finland. Not a single one of them died at the hands
of the Nazis. Jewish refugees in Finland are a different category. Finland
had granted refugee status and residence permits to several hundred
Central European Jews who were fleeing the Holocaust. In the fall of 1942
a group of about twenty people who had found refuge in Finland, along with
their family members, were deported from Finland for having committed
crimes or otherwise violating the conditions of their residence. Of these
deportees, eight were Jews, but none of them was a Finnish citizen or a
Finnish Jew. Seven of them perished at Auschwitz. Thus, on one occasion
Finland did hand over Jews to the Gestapo, and seven of them died at
Auschwitz, but none of the Jews who were handed over was a Finnish Jew.
That is the reason for the rather curious number seven as the number of
“Finnish Holocaust victims”.

Not by a long shot.

There were four dedicated extermination camps: the pilot camp Chelmno and
the three Aktion Reinhardt camps: Belzec, Sobinor, and Treblinka, all
located in Poland. Most deportees were dead within a few hours of arrival
at these camps. The strongest and healthy of them were employed to deal
with the bodies and sort, classify, dispose of or clean, and repair the
belongings of the people who had been killed.

There were two multifunctional forced labor camps with dedicated
extermination divisions: Auschwitz and Majdanek. Although both are now in
Poland, during WW II Auschwitz was in Germany due to border adjustments
made after the invasion of Poland in September 1939.

There were several camps with “special apparatus specifically designed for
systematic murder”, that is to say, gas chambers. Most of them were in
Germany, e.g. Stutthof, Sachsenhausen, Ravensbrück, Neuengamme, and
Mauthausen [in Austria, but Austria had been absorbed into Germany in
1938]. One such camp. Natzweiler, was in France. In conjunction with
another camp, Salaspils in Riga, gas vans were used to murder a
deportation train full of Jews on at least one occasion. Additionally,
there is little reason to distinguish between a camp and a euthanasia
center, particularly considering that within the framework of the 14f13
euthanasia program forced laborers from camps lacking gas chambers were
sent to one of the six euthanasia centers, Bernburg, Brandenburg,
Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim, and Sonnenstein, to be gassed in the gas
chambers there
[http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/t4.html]. The camps
and the euthanasia centers were all designed, built, financed,
administered, and staffed by the RSHA bureaucracy, and staff and knowhow
were shared.

Don’t knock the source, rather demonstrate convincingly that what I wrote

Hungarian (= H) and Finnish [= F] (as well as closely related Estonian [=
E] ) are distantly related, but aside from some basic vocabulary items (H
vér = F/E veri ‘blood’, H kèz = F/E käsi ‘hand, arm’, H hal = F/E kala
‘fish’, H három = F kolme/E kolm ‘three’, H kó´ ~ köve- F/E kivi ‘stone’,
H nyil = F nuoli/E nool), understanding the relationship requires a
considerable amount of linguistic expertise (e.g. H fa = F/E puu ‘tree’, H
fél = F puoli/E pool ‘half’, H fej = F pää/E pea ‘head’).

Nonsense. After having killed more than 200,000 Jews between June 22, 1941
and mid January, 1942, the Nazis assessed what remained to be done at the
Wannsee Conference:

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

Total over 11,000,000
<deletions>
</quote>

The countries in group A were under Nazi control and the number of Jews in
them amounts to more than 4,550,000. Of the countries in group B, the
Nazis eventually managed to gain control over the Jews of Croatia,
Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary, as well as a substantial number of the
Jews of Italy, Serbia, and the European part of the RSFSR, Russia Proper,
in the USSR, this being more than 5,000,000 more Jews. In countries such
as Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, Slovakia, White Russia
(Byelorussia), Ukraine, and Greece, between 80 and 90 per cent of the
Jewish populations were exterminated by the Nazis, so the 6,000,000 figure
is quite plausible, seeing that between 1939 and 1945 the Nazis by their
own statistics had control of territory where approximately 10,000,000
Jews were living.

Since more than 95% of the victims of the Holocaust were from countries
that Germany had invaded or co-opted, whether or not a person has ever
been to Germany is irrelevant. One of the most outrageous things about the
Holocaust is that Germany took it upon itself to embark upan a continental
campaign of ethnic cleansing. There is no reason whatsoever that the Jews
of countries as far from Germany as Norway, Estonia and Greece should have
been scapegoated as responsible for the problems that Nazi Germany thought
that it was having with Jews.

1. A policy first put forward in the 1890s by Edward Bernstein
(1850-1932) advocating the introduction of socialism through evolution
rather than revolution, in opposition to the orthodox view of Marxists;

Stop right here. The Holocaust is *not* and never has been “the supposed
genociding of Jews in the Third Reich”, but rather the genociding of
European Jews in the Third Reich, that is to say, Nazi Germany, as well as
in countries controlled by or allied with it. More than 95% of the victims
of the Holocaust were citizens of countries *other* than the Third Reich;
half of them were in Poland alone. The Holocaust is not merely a genocide,
but also an unprecented effort by one country to ethnically cleanse an
entire continent. Jews were not the only victims of these efforts.
Gypsies, certain Slavic populations, and mental defectives were also
victims of this misanthropic policy.

Nonsense again. Mass-gassing started seriously with the opening of the
Chelmno pilot extermiantion camp on December 7, 1941
[http://www.deathcamps.org/occupation/chelmno.html]. Before that, however,
the Einsatzgruppen working with the SD, SS, and SP had followed the
advancing Wehrmacht and organized mass shootings along the eastern front,
>from Tallinn in Estonia in the extreme north, to the Crimean Peninsula in
the Ukraine in the extreme south
[http://www.einsatzgruppenarchives.com/trials/authenticityofreports.html].
Mass gassings became the favored option for killing economically
expendable Jews only after the logistical, economic, and public relations
problems of killing all local Jews in public mass shootings became
apparent.

The evidence includes:
– the action reports (“Ereignismeldungen”) kept in real time by the
Einsatzguppen
[http://www.holocaust-history.org/~dkeren/documents/jaeger-report/index.shtml],

– the court records documenting the arrest, execution, and confiscstion of
property of individual Jews [e.g.
https://nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/places/ftp.py?places//estonia/usenet.9906],
– the expert witness testimony of perpetrators [e.g.
http://www.learntoquestion.com/resources/lessons/intro/tour/sites/hoesstest.html],

– the trial records of perpetrators [e.g.
http://www.einsatzgruppenarchives.com/jeckeln.html],
– the sworn statements of participants [e.g.

– the expert witness testimony of victims [e.g.
http://www.mazal.org/archive/documents/Tauber/Tauber01.htm],
– forensic examinations of the gas chambers [e.g.
https://nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/polish/institute-for-forensic-research/],
– exhumations of mass graves [e.g. http://www.soton.ac.uk/~jb3/war/war.html],
– the meticulously maintained dossiers on individual Holocaust victims
kept by the Red Cross organizations in some Holocaust countries [e.g.
https://nizkor.org/features/qar/qar55.html ].

General principles for waging war had been agreed on after WW I and by the
League of Nations. The Soviet Union’s undeclared attack on Finland in 1939
had gotten it kicked out of the League, and Nazi Germany also violated the
same rules, for which it was eventually accused of the crimes of Waging
Aggressive War and Crimes against Humanity

Hoess on his activities while in prison during the late 1920s:

“During my free time I eagerly studied the English language, and had
books of instruction in it sent to me. Later I arranged for a
continuous supply of English books and periodicals, and consequently I
was able, in about a year, to learn this language without any outside
assistance. I found this a tremendous mental corrective.”

Hoess*, translated by Constantine FitzGibbon, Phoenix Press, London,

The rest of this continues this miserable track record of sloppy

Some evisionists claim that the large *Vergasungskammer* in Kremas II – V
at Auschwitz-Birkenau were delousing chambers, even though they were large
enough to easily accommodate hundreds of people, as can be seen from the
cross-section of the construction plan of the “leichenkeller” of Krema II:

Nonsense. Concentrations of cyanide reached levels lethal for humans (>
300 ppm) within a few minutes.

Nonsense again. Cyanide is volatile and a competent fumigator can
dissipate the levels that were attained within the gas chambers within a
half an hour.

Cyanide only explodes at concentrations in execess of 60,000 ppm, far in
excess of what is needed killing either people or vermin.

No they haven’t. One of the leading revisionists, Fred Leuchter, has
argued that the rooms could be fumigated with cyanide but could not be
used for killing people with cyanide, evidently not understanding that it
takes far higher concentrations of cyanide (concentrations as high as
15,000 ppm maintained for 15 hours) to kill vermin than it takes to kill
people (concentrations as low as 300 ppm maintained for 15 minutes).

Wrong again. The first investigations of this problem were underaken
immediately after the war:

IV. History of Forensic Reports

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

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

Strzelecki describes other early forensic examinations including the
following:

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

They both found detectable residues of cyanide in the gas chamber ruins.

Zyklon-B was designed to enable cyanide to be able to used for fumigating
normal rooms, apartments, ships, traincars, tents etc. specifically
lacking such systems.

The cyanide impregnated in Zyklon B evaporates and is emitted as gas into
the ambient air at 25° C, no heating system is needed.

Since all but one of the gas chambers at Auschwitz survive as ruins or
foundations, this allegation is impossible to take seriously.

One of the most puerile slogans I have ever heard. Solving the task of
introducing Zyklon-B pellets into a sealed enclusure does not require
rocket science.

Probably not. He hardly ever got Polish names right (“Turblinka”,
“Wolzek”). On the other hand, he spent five years in prison for murder and
decided to learn learn English in order to keep sane.

If he had good books they would have used the International Phonetic
Alphabet or its equivalent. Langenscheidt was producing quite competent
material of this type for self-tuition in foreign languages during the
1920s.

English and German are closely enough related for tmany of the differences
to be systematic. For a German learning to read and speak English is an
easier task than learning to read and speak French, Russian, Finnish,
Hungarian, Turkish, Xhosa, Georgian, Quechua, or Japanese. Learning Dutch,
Afrikaans, or Danish, on the other hand, would be even easier for most
Germans.

Not true. Different sides are able to reach agreements on whether a person
has the qualifications to be an expert. Note that even Leuchter has
admitted that he lacked the qualifications to work in the position he was
working in or to give expert opinions on engineering or execution
technology at court trials.

As we see below, the mistakes made by both Leuchter and the original

The construction diagrams and blueprints on the page indicate that the

The writer of the original made an easily debunked factual error. Zyklon-B
ougassed concentrations of cyanide that would be lethal to humans within a
few minutes.

Another example of non-existent schlarship. If what the poster wrote were
correct, it would be impossible to use the cyanide generated by Zyklon-B
for delousinbg purposes, an obvious absurdity.

Leuchter did not understand that even though using Zyklon-B to kill lice
involves far higher concentrations of cyanide than using it to kill people
would, both procedures are easily controlled by a competent exterminator
and can be safely implemented in normally constructed buiuldings, rooms,
etc. without constituting an undue hazard to the environment.

The writer of the original did not bother to de even a superficial study
of the issue, once again revealing sloppy scholarship and/or intellectual
dishonesty.

> > > (Altho

Why did the writer of the original take the time to inform us *how* it is
flawed? The main flaw is that it presents the results of a qualitative
analysis as the results of a quantitative one, something that no honest
chemist would ever do. Secondly, it explains the undeniable presence of
cyanide compounds on almost half of the samples 14 out of 31 as the
conseuqence of routine fumigation. It then claims that the buildings
lacked the structural attributes to serve as gas chambers, because using
gas to poison people in them would supposedly poison the entire camp.
Nevertheless, Leuchter does not see fumigation as posing an even greater
hazard. Flaws of method and logic of this type are fatal ones.

The original constructed straw men here.

Whether you want to believe that the Holocaust took place or not is
irrelevant to the issue here. Leuchter was an incompetent charlatan, and
the depth of his incompetence is manifest throughout the Leuchter Report.
There is nothing “Jewish” about pointing this out.

Wrong. Have you never heard of the Linguaphone method, in use since 1901?
People teach themselves languages all the time, and it is far easier
nowadays with video courses, CD’s, and the resources available on the
internet. I have taught myself to read, write, and speak several
languages, including Swedish, Finnish, and Russian and have co-authored
courses for people working alone who need to learn to speak fluent, if
situationally limited, American English, Estonian, Finnish, Swedish,
Russian, and Latvian. In my personal library I have courses and other
material that can be used for self instruction in languages as exotic as
Vepsian, Xhosa, Slovene, Mongolian, and Somali on one’s own.

Joseph Conrad, Vladimir Nobakov, and Jerzy Kozinsky all succeeded in
learning English on their own as adults well enough to become the authors
of highly regarded literature in that language, thank you very much. Here
in Finland most thirteen-year olds can read write and speak their native
language (Finnish or Swedish), the other official language (Swedish or
Finnish), English, and one additional foreign language (German, French,
Spanish, Portuguese, or Russian). Many members of established minorities
as well as recent immigrants also receive so-called home language
instruction, so that they can also learn to speak, and often write, the
language spoken by their parents and grandparents (typically Inari Sámi,
Skolt Sámi, Roma [= Gyspy], Tatar; Russian, Estonian, Somali, Kurdish,
Arabic, Vietnamese, Farsi, or Chinese).

> successfully.

Your limited of success means that you lack either an effective method or
the motivation. You are writing from Australia, a country where there is
not much motivation to study foreign languages up to the level of fluent
spoken and written competency, but Hoess lived in Germany, a country where
it is not unusual for quite normal people to have a reasonably fluent
command of two, three, or even four foreign languages. Hoess, born in
Baden-Baden, spent his earliest years in a place a few hours away from
borders behind which French, Flemish, Letzeburgesh, Schwyzertüütsch, and
Alsatian were spoken. His native Swabian dialect was also distinct enough
>from the north-eastern German of the Berlin bureaucracy for him to have
already had considerable practical experience mapping closely related
speech forms onto his own speech.

>
> You know it because you have learnt German yourself.

No. I was taught German. I taught myself Swedish, Finnish, and Russian.

We had German five periods a week for three years. We were conversing
fluently right from the beginning and writing compositions and simple
letters within a few months. We started learning German in the autumn of
1958 as 13 and 14-year olds, and many of us were happily corresponding
with penfriends in Germany the next spring.

This was in New York City during the late 1950s. There were radio
broadcasts, newspapers, and other media in German, if you knew where to
look.

In our high school foreign language instruction was taken very seriously
and we had native speakers as teachers, so we got used to using German in
the classroom right from the start. We made extensive use of rote
memorization of dialogues (not words or paradigms) and role playing, with
grammatical analysis coming only later. In addition to memorizing and
performing dialogues and conversations from our textbooks, we also learned
dozens of German poems and songs, acted in skits and plays, and discussed
the increasingly more difficult plays, short stories, and novels that we
could read by our second year.

We were studying other subjects as well, but after a year of instruction
we could all read and write German with reasonable fluency, indeed we had
to. After three years of such teaching I had no difficulty at all
speaking, reading, and writing German with native speakers, even if they
had thick local accents, as many Germans do, and was able to work at a
summer job in Germany that involved interacting with the public.

I know from my own experience working with exchange students that a person
can acquire a fluent spoken command of most languages, even “difficult”
ones like non-Indo-European Finnish, in three months with the proper
motivation and instruction. Learning to write is easier for some people,
more difficult for others.

> Actually Hoess never said he learnt English in jail.

Yes he did:

Hoess on his activities while in prison during the late 1920s:

Rudolf Hoess, *Commandant of Auschwitz. The Autobiography of Rudolf
Hoess*, translated by Constantine FitzGibbon, Phoenix Press, London,
2000, pg. 58.
<deletions>

> It was simply
> contained in his Autobiography – written by the Polish communists.

That is an unfounded allegation. Hoess realized that he had a unique story
to tell and he was driven by this realization to commit them to paper.

Hoess also stated that he understood English when he signed the affidavit
that was read at Kaltenbrunner’s trial in Nuremberg, where Hoess delivered
testimony as an expert witness, this time in German. There he agreed that
the declaration according to which he understood English as written in
the affidavit that he had delivered and signed was true to his own
knowledge:

<quote>
<deletions>
COL. AMEN: Now, I will omit Paragraphs 8 and 9, which have to do with the
medical experiments as to which you have already testified.
“10. Rudolf Mildner was the chief of the Gestapo at Katowice . . . from
approximately March 1941 until September 1943. As such, he frequently sent
prisoners to Auschwitz for incarceration or execution. He visited
Auschwitz on several occasions. The Gestapo court, the SS Standgericht,
which tried persons accused of various crimes, such as escaping prisoners
of war, et cetera, ?frequently met within Auschwitz, and Mildner often
attended the trial of such persons, who usually were executed in Auschwitz
following their sentence. I showed Mildner through the extermination plant
at Auschwitz and he was directly interested in it since he had to send the
Jews from his territory for execution at Auschwitz.
“I understand English as it is written above. The above statements are
true; this declaration is made by me voluntarily and without compulsion;
after reading over the statement I have signed and executed the same at
Nuremberg, Germany, on the fifth day of April 1946.”
Now I ask you, Witness, is everything which I have read to you true to
your own knowledge?
HOESS: Yes.

There is nothing unusual about a native speaker of German acquiring a
command of a closely related language such as English within a year,
particularly if he has little else to do and is learning the language as
much for mental therapy as for utilitarian purposes.

Your claim about Hoess’s statement that he learned English in prison being
an embellishment added by Polish communists demonstrates itself to be
untenable in the light of the historical record of events that transpired
in April, 1946.

Or was the procedure tweaked and improved? There were two mechanically
ventilated gas chambers (Kremas II and its mirror image Krema III), and
two cross-ventilated gas chambers (Kremas IV and V) at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Already the use of different solutions for ventilating the premises
indicates constant improvement based on feedback from previous
experiences.

Nevertheless, there is absolutely no reason to assume that every gassing
in every gas chamber was implemented according to the same rigid
procedure. The considerations that were optimal when two trainloads of
candidates for extermination a week were arriving were not the ones that
would have been optimal when two or three trainloads a day were arriving.

Bereits auf den ersten Blick lässt Himmlers Dienstkalender der Jahre
1941/42 einige Akzentsetzungen klarer als bisher hervortreten.
Dokumentiert sind die häufigen Besprechungen Himmlers bei Hitler (und
seine aufschlussreichen Notizen hierzu), der Bedeutungsgewinn der
Waffen-SS mit dem Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion und die regelmässige Präsenz
Himmlers ³vor Ort², in den Brennpunkten von Krieg, Umsiedlung und Mord.
Gleichzeitig ergeben sich neue Details und Informationen zu Entscheidungen
und Planungen zur Vernichtung der europäischen Juden im Zeitraum von
Herbst 1941 bis zum Frühjahr 1942.
Um ein konkretes Beispiel zu geben: Unter dem 18.12.1941 findet sich eine
– mittlerweile vielzitierte – handschriftliche Vortragsnotiz Himmlers,
welche er sich zum Vortrag bei Hitler im Führerhauptquartier gemacht
hatte: ³Judenfrage / als Partisanen auszurotten.² Die Editoren deuten
diese Besprechung überzeugend als Folgeunterredung zu Hitlers Rede
auf der Reichs- und Gauleitertagung in Berlin am 12.12.1941. Dort hatte
Hitler zur Kriegslage im Osten und zum Kriegseintritt der USA Stellung
genommen und (nach den Aufzeichnungen von Joseph Goebbels) die Ermordung
der europäischen Juden noch wäehrend des Krieges angekündigt. Zwei Tage
später führte Himmler weitere Gespräche mit Hitler selbst, mit dem Chef
der Kanzlei des Fuehrers Philipp Bouhler und mit dessen Stellvertreter
Viktor Brack. In den Verantwortungsbereich der beiden letztgenannten fiel
das Euthanasieprogramm und damit die technische Kompetenz zur Ermordung
von Menschen mit Giftgas – Fachwissen, welches man für die neuen
Vernichtungsaufgaben dringend benötigte. In der Lesart der Herausgeber
des Kalendariums[ 4] bedeutet Himmlers Vortragsnotiz ³Judenfrage / als
Partisanen auszurotten² nun, dass sich Himmler hier ³Hitlers Begründung
für die Ermordung der europäischen Juden insgesamt notierte² (S. 294),
gleichsam als eine abschliessende Verständigung über den definitiven Kurs
in der Judenfrage. Die Tage vom 12.12. bis zum 18.12.1941 erscheinen
somit als Periode der Konkretion einer längst vorhandenen Idee und der
Präzisierung bereits angelaufener Planungen: In den verschiedenen Treffen
und Unterredungen ging es erstens um Richtlinien zur (seit Herbst 1941 im
Gang befindlichen) Ermordung aller Juden in den besetzten sowjetischen
Gebieten. Zweitens wurden die Planungen, Juden mit Gas zu ermorden,
intensiviert, und drittens war die – jedoch in ersten Ansätzen bereits
begonnene – Vernichtung der deutschen Juden ein wichtiges Thema. Dies
alles ist plausibel und wird gestützt durch die Erkenntnisse zahlreicher
Historiker, welche – allen unterschiedlichen Akzentuierungen zum Trotz –
den Monat Dezember 1941 als wichtigen Radikalisierungsschub hin zur
planmässigen Vernichtung der europäischen Juden charakterisieren.

In einem Befehl des Oberbefehlshabers des Heeres vom Mai 1941 ist
ausgeführt, dass ausser den sonst bekämpften Widersachern der Truppe
diesmal als besonders gefährliches und jede Ordnung zersetzendes Element
aus der Zivilbevölkerung der Träger der jüdisch-bolschewistischen
Weltanschauung entgegentrete (a.a.O., Bl.20). In einem am 4.6.1941
verteilten, vom Armeeoberkommando 17 herausgegebenen Merkblatt
“Richtlinien für das Verhalten der Truppe in Russland” ist ausgeführt,
“der Bolschewismus ist der Todfeind des nationalsozialistischen deutschen
Volkes” … “dieser Kampf verlangt rücksichtsloses und energisches
Durchgreifen gegen bolschewistische Hetzer, Freischärler, Saboteure, Juden
und restlose Beseitigung jedes aktiven oder passiven Widerstandes.”
(a.a.O., Bl.21). In einem weiteren vom AOK 17 an die ihm unterstellten
Truppenteile am 16.6.1941 hinausgegebenen Merkblatt heisst es: “Die Völker
der Sowjetunion sind teilweise Asiaten und stehen unter
bolschewistisch-jüdischer Führung.” (a.a.O., Bl.22). In einem an die
Befehlshaber der rückwärtigen Heeresgebiete Nord, Mitte und Süd
gerichteten Befehl des OKH vom 25.7.1941 ist ausgeführt, dass das
hetzerische Wirken der Träger des jüdisch-bolschewistischen Systems
erwarten lasse, dass auch in bisher ruhigen Gebieten der Kleinkrieg wieder
auflebe (a.a.O., Bl.23). In einer Anordnung des Befehlshabers des
rückwärtigen Heeresgebietes vom 16.8.1941 ist ausgeführt, dass die
Mitarbeit der ukrainischen Zivilbevölkerung erstrebt werde. Sabotageakte
seien, sofern der Täter nicht ermittelt werden könne, nicht den Ukrainern,
sondern den Juden und Russen zur Last zu legen (a.a.O., Bl.24).

Field Marshal Keitel’s orders quoted above call for “ruthless and

used against passive or active resistance offered by specific groups, one
of them being Jews.

The Germans were also aggressively invading other people’s territory, so
it is natural that they were going to face aggressive resistance.
Nevertheless, the above orders singlem out “Bolshevik agitators,
partisans, saboteurs, Jews, and total elimination of all active or passive
resistance”. The only group in the list to be specified on the basis of
their ethnicity rather than their anti-German activity is Jews.

> The Germans also killed
> Allied soldiers, a few of whom were Jews. People die in wars.

Irrelevant. Field Marshal Keitel’s orders single out Jews as an ethnicity
to be the object of “ruthless and energetic measures” aimed at their
“total elimination”. Himmler’s *Dienstkalender* entry for December 18,
1941, specifies that Jews are to be equated with partisans and elminated
as such.

> The holocaust lie is that Jews were special victims, singled out for
> horrible “extermination” by the German leadership.

How do you explain the fact that during the Nazi occupation of Estonia
Jews, including chldren and infants, were arrested and shot for the crime
of “being a Jew and thus a threat to public order”. The dossiers for
hundreds of Jews arrested and shot in Estonia during the autumn of 1941
are kept in the collection of the Estonian National Archives, and I have
written about them extensively in AR in the past, e.g.
https://nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/places/ftp.py?places//estonia/usenet.9906
Shofar FTP Archive File: places//estonia/usenet.9906 .

It is on the basis of these arrests and summary executions that Estonia
stands out in being characterized as “judenfrei” at the Wannsee Conference
of January 20, 1942
(http://www.ns-archiv.de/verfolgung/wannsee/wannsee-konferenz.php).

If you do not accept this, how do you explain this unique characterization
of Estonia and where do you think the approx, 4,400 Estonian Jews
disappeared to between June 22, 1941 and January 20, 1942?

> In fact, in
> proportion to their numbers, the Jews suffered the fewest casualties of
> all the ethnic groups in Europe during the war. The Germans did not
> murder Jews.

The Germans singled out Jews and Gypsies as two groups to be eliminated by
“ruthless and energetic measures” not on the basis of their actions or
functions, but solely on the basis of their ethnicity. They were regarded
as innate enemies of the Reich, as threats to public order, and treated
accordingly. Even a superficial acquaintance with German policy towards
these two groups, particularly along the Eastern Front, shows that between
the invasion of the USSR and the Wannsee Conference policy towards Jews
was to kill them with no regard to age, gender, or possible economic value
in public mass shootings. Some of these, such as the one in Liepâja
between December 15 and 17, 1941 have been documented in photographs and
films. Others, such as those that took place during the fall of 1941 in
Serniki and Ustinovka left mass graves with hundreds of bodies that have
only recently been partially exhumed.

The Nazis eventually determined that mass shootings were logistically
difficult to arrange and psychologically taxing on the men entrusted to
carry them out. They developed alternative methodologies of mass murder,
based on their experience and knowhow conducting mass killings of Germans
within the framework of the T-4 euthanasia program, that enabled them to
centralize the killing process and implement it “cleanly” behind closed
doors and, with an additional element of sadism and *Schadenfreude*, with
Jewish *Sonderkommando* members forced to participate in the mass murder
of fellow Jews. A reassessment of the economic impact of killing was also
made. Those Jews, Gypsies, and opponents of Nazism who had skills that
were of value would be made slave laborers, once again with sadism and
*Schadenfreude*, forced to work for the German war effort on a diet and
under a regime that would result in most of them working themselves to
death within a few months only to be replaced by fresh Jews that their
contribution to the German war effort had contributed to capturing. Those
who had no economic value were exterminated as “useless mouths to feed”.

> The holocaust is a lie.

No. Claiming that the Holocaust is a lie is a lie.

When asking who the Finns are a distinction has to be made between the
Finnish language, and the people in icreasingly multi-ethnic,
multi-cultural who self-identify as Finns today. For an extreme but
interesting case, check out the pictures of Finnish-born,
Finnish-speaking, Finnish-educated Lola Odusoga, Miss Finland 1996
[http://images.google.fi/images?q=lola+odusoga&hl=fi&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ii&oi=imagest].

The Finnish language is evidently of northern Eurasian origin. Today it,
like its sister languges Sámi [aka Lappish], Estonian, and Hungarian, is
one of the westernmost outliers of a language family that is still
indigenous to much of northern Eurasia and represented by the minor
Finno-Ugric languages Karelian, Vepsian, Erzya, Moksha, Mari, Komi,
Udmurt, Khanty, and Mansi, as well as by the Samoyed languages Enets,
Nenets, Nganasan, and Selkup [see map at
http://virtual.finland.fi/finfo/images/langua1_b.jpg]. Finnish is a
Uralic language. The Uralic languages break down into two sub-families:
Finno-Ugric and Samoyed. The Finno Ugric languages are Finnish, Estonian,
Karelian, Vepsian, Livonian, Votian, and Izhorian [Baltic-Finnic or
Fennic]; Erzya and Moksha [Mordvinic]; Mari; Komi and Udmurt [Permic];
Mansi and Khanty [Ob-Ugric] and Hungarian. The Samoyed languages are
enumerated above.

Finnish, Estonian, Karelian, and Vepsian are all closely related enough to
have some mutual comprehenibility. Sámi is more distant, but the
relationship is still obvious. Hungarian is linguistically so different
>from the aforementioned languages that the relationship can only be
appreiated by a person who understands the methods of historical
linguistics (e.g. F käsi = H kéz ‘hand, arm’; F silmä = H szem ‘eye’, F

Many of the people in northern Russia who self-identify as Russians today
had ancestors a generation or two ago who spoke a Uralic language. So
rather than claim, falsely, that Finns are Slavs it would be more correct
to say that many north-eastern Slavs have some Finno-Ugric or Samoyed
ancestry.

The people who speak a language at any point in time are not necessarily
direct descendants of the people who introduced the language to wherever
it is spoken now. Simple reflection on the history of English as
originally a set of dialects spoken by invaders and settlers from what are
now northwestern Germany and the Netherlands, and the fact that a minority
of native speakers of English today can claim north-western European
origin brings this point home. Finnish, Estonian, and the other
Baltic-Finnic languages are generally considered to be the westernmost
part of what was once a pre-Indo-European linguistic continuum that once
covered much of western Eurasia and north-eastern Europe. Indo-European
expansion from the south eventually resulted in language shifts to
Indo-European as well as in the disappearance of historically attested
ancient peoples such as the Meryas and the Meshchers who once formed the
bridge between Baltic-Finnic and the Morvdin dialects.

The introduction of agriculture to north-eastern Europe by the
Indo-European-speaking Balts, the ancestors of the Lithuanians and
Latvians, as well as of the now extinct Prussians and some other peoples
that once inhabited what is now Belarus, meant a surge in population as
well as language shifts and assimilations of populations. Later invasions
of various Germanic peoples, possibly the Goths and certainly the early
Scandinavians, resulted in more population mixing and language shifts in
what are now Finland and Estonia. To make a long and complex story as
brief as possible, the ancestor of what is now Estonian, Early
Proto-Finnic, was introduced to this area from the east thousands of years
ago by a small founder population. Later waves of Baltic and Germanic
immigration have resulted in most genetic traces of the original
population being innundated by genes from Scandinavia and Central Europe,
as well as in a later form of Proto-Finnic being introduced to what is now
Finland be migrants. In Finland some of the migrants maintained a distinct
identy, others assimilated into the older indigenous population, the
ancesters of the Sámi, whose language of uncertain origin was Fennicized
to a considerable degree. Thus, the Finnish language is from the east via
the south, but the majority of Finnish speakers today are
anthropoligically and genetically similar to eastern Scandinavians,
Estonians, and Latvians, with more Sámi influence in the north and more
Slavic influence in the south-east.

Hungarian reached Europe by a totally different route a little more than a
millennium ago. It was brought by a small group of invaders who
established a state in what had been the Roman colony of Pannonia. They
were able to impose their language on the inhabitants, most of whom spoke
dialects related either to eastern Romance, or southern Slavic. This is
the reason for the present discontinutiy between Romanian and the Romance
languages of northern Italy and, formerly, western Slovenia (Dalmatia), as
well as between western Slavic Slovak and southern Slavic Slovene and
Serbian. Like the Finns, the Hungarians are anthropologically and
genetically most similar to their neighbors. Many people who speak
Hungarian today had ancestors who spoke a Slavic, Romance, or Germanic
language, but underwent a language shift to HUngarian.

Thus, neither Finns nor Hungarians are Slavs. Finnish has been little
influenced by Slavic contacts, containing a few dozen words, mostly
resulting from contacts with Russian missionaries and traders in the past,
>from eastern Slavic: pappi ‘priest’, risti ‘cross’, vapaa ‘free’, tuska
‘pain’; papu ‘bean’, määrä ‘amount’. South-eastern Finnish dialects, the
speakers of which have traditionally had more contact with Russian and
Russians, have more Russian loans, as would be expected: A vot! ‘Here it
is!’, holotno ‘cold room’. Karelian, closely related to Finnish but spoken
by a population that has been under the influence of the Rusisan Orthodox
church for almost 700 years, exhibits far more Russian influence.
Hungarians have had closer and more intimate contacts with their Slavic
neighbors to the north and south, and their language has a correspondingly
larger number and more varied collection of borrowings from Slavic, e.g.
szerda ‘Wednesday’, család ‘family’, szabad ‘free’, ebéd ‘lunch’, vacsora
‘dinner’, málna ‘raspberry’, utca ‘street’.

To keep this on topic in soc.cultue.jewish and soc.culture.russian let it
be mentioned that Finnish has long established Russian and Jewish
miorities. The Russian minority consists of many groups, with the greatest
divides being between the descendants of Russians who had settled in
Finland before its independence in 1917, and those who have settled in
Finland since the collapse of the USSr in 1991. To make things even more
complex, many of the members of the old Russian minority are Jews, so the
two communities overlap to some extent.

The Finnish language is evidently of northern Eurasian origin. Today it,

Indo-European as well as in the disappearance of historically attested
ancient peoples such as the Meryas and the Meshchers who once formed the
bridge between Baltic-Finnic and the Morvdin dialects.

Hungarian reached Europe by a totally different route a little more than a
millennium ago. It was brought by a small group of invaders who
established a state in what had been the Roman colony of Pannonia. They
were able to impose their language on the inhabitants, most of whom spoke
dialects related either to eastern Romance, or southern Slavic. This is
the reason for the present discontinutiy between Romanian and the Romance
languages of northern Italy and, formerly, western Slovenia (Dalmatia), as
well as between western Slavic Slovak and southern Slavic Slovene and
Serbian. Like the Finns, the Hungarians are anthropologically and
genetically most similar to their neighbors. Many people who speak
Hungarian today had ancestors who spoke a Slavic or Romance language, or
German, but underwent a language shift to HUngarian.

This is not a mistake. I listed the root, the part of the verb without the
infinitive ending -ni, as is customary in Finno-Ugric studies. In Finnish
the infitive meaning ‘to go’ is mennä, corresponding to Hungarian menni.
The men[e]- and men- parts are inherited from the same source, but the
infinitive endings are later innovations, for which reason they are
usually ommitted in comparisons.

> F ole- = H vol- ‘to be’, correction -*H volt=(past tense) rather -lenni,

Actually, the situation is more complex. In both Finnish and Hungarian the
paradigm of the verb meaning ‘be’ is syncretic: it contains roots of
various origins, just as does the English paradigm of the verb ‘to be’ has
‘am’ ‘is’, ‘are’, ‘was’, ‘were’, ‘been’, etc.

In Hungarian, the root len- shows up in the infinitive lenni, the same
root liene- shows up in Finnish, but is limited to the potential lienen ‘I
can be’ (cf. Sámi læm ‘[I] am’), Finnish olen ‘I am’, olin ‘I was’, olisin
‘I would be’, etc. The Hungarian root vol- is limited to the past tense,
its Finnish cognate ol- is used in all tenses and moods except the
potential.

> F anta- = H ad- ‘to give’, correction -*H adni (noun)

The inherited root is ad-, the infinitive is adni.

The inherited root is el-, the infinitive is elni.

The inherited root is úsz-, the infinitive is úszni.

No, ‘Mi az a kezedben?’ = ‘What is that in your hand?’ [nominative case,
marking the word as the grammatical subject], Mit csináls? ‘What are you
doing? [accusative case, marking the word as the grammatical direct
object].

The Hungarian words mi ‘what’ and mi ‘we’ are homonyms and homographs.

The split took place more than five thousand years ago, long before anyone
came to the Carpathian Valley. The ancestors of the Finns were living in
what is now Estonia more than 4,000 years ago when Indo-European-speaking
agriculturalists entered the area and taught the natives, who then lived
by hunting and gathering, how to use land more effectively.

> Tribe split into two, one traveled to North to

There is no historical record of such a split and northward journey, as
dramatic as it sounds [Pekka: OK, Árpád, you go south, me and my folks are
heading NORTH. Arpad. Fine with me, Pekka. Don’t forget to dress warmly.].

The Finns and Estonians are the westernmost representatives of what was
once a swath of languages spoken along a huge but sparsely populated
territory stretching northern Eurasia from modern Estonia to the Volga,
Urals, and beyond. Whereas the Finns, Estonians, Mordvins, Mari, etc.
represent pre-Indo-European populations, the Hungarians, whose language
was brought westward through the Caucasus, Turkey, Ukraine, and the
Balkans, speak a language that was introduced to already Indo-Europeanized
areas relatively recently and is thus post-Indo-European.

And they learned Hungarian and eventually self-identified as Hungarians.
Much the same thing holds for Finland, but on a smaller scale. The
original Finns were culturally Balticized Finnic-speakig colonists from
what is now Estonia who entered Finland by crossing the Gulf of Finland or
the Isthmus of Karelia and then mixed with the people already living
there, the ancestors of the Sámi [= Lapps]. After considerable mixing and
waves of eastern Germanic and Scandinavian colonization along the coast,
the following situation arose: a Swedish speaking population in the
archipelago and along the southern and western coastlines,
Finnish-speaking western and eastern Finns, the results of different paths
and periods of migration and originally speaking dialects more highly
differentiated than the modern standard language in the interior of the
country, and a Sámi-speaking population in the north. From a purely
functional standpoint one might say that those inhabitants of Finland who
chose a settled life based on agriculture or fishing, whether they speak
Finnish or Swedish, became Finns, while those inhabitants who preferred to
pursue a lifestyle as hunters, gatherers, and reindeer herders, engaging
only marginally in agriculture, became Sámis.

It is nice to be able to discuss something civilly with you for a change.

There is no historical record of such a split and northward journey, as
dramatic as it sounds:

[Scene: A fork in the road leading to the Carpathian Valley some time
around 898 AD. Väinö and Árpád, two leading figures in what is still a
single tribe of Finno-Ugric-speaking marauders, are trying to decide what
to do next. They decide to entrust their fate to a Roman coin with
Caesar’s face on the front and a coat of arms on the back.]

Árpád: Heads you go north, tails I do.

[Throws the coin, it lands on heads]

Väinö [unsure of whether he was won or lost]: OK, Árpád, you go south, me
and my folks are heading north.
Árpád [looking at the sun and confident that he has gotten the better of
Väinö]: Fine with me, Väinö. Don’t forget to dress warmly.

As good a story as it makes, that is not what history tells us happened.

The Finns and Estonians are the westernmost representatives of what was
once a swath of languages spoken along a huge but sparsely populated
territory stretching through northern Eurasia from modern Estonia to the Volga,
Urals, and beyond. Whereas the Finns, Estonians, Mordvins, Mari, etc.

Roots, the part of a word that refers to some entity, quality, quantity,
or activity in reality, that are originally of different origin often
combine to form a paradigm at a certain point in the existence of a
language. Such mixed paradigms are called syncretic by linguists. In
English, for example, the roots go and wen- (in went, the -t is a
fossilized past tense ending) have combined to form the paradigm of the
verb ‘to go’. Similarly, in Hungarian men- and -megy-, as well as le-,
len-, van-, vol-, and vagy- have all combined to provide parts of the
paradigm of lenni ‘to be’.

English spelling is based on the principle that a morpheme should be
spelled the same way even if it undergoes changes in pronunciation,
consider the different pronunciation of the sequence {divin} in ‘divine’
and ‘divinity” and of {atom} in ‘atom’ and ‘atomic’. Although I prefer
the Hungarian way of spelling, it has its problems. You write kezben ‘in
the hand’, but házban ‘in the house’, spelling the same ending in two
different ways. In the three English words liked /laikt/, loved /[email protected]/,
hated /’[email protected]/ the same sequence {ed} is pronounced three different ways,
altough the different pronunciations are as predictable to a native
speaker as the Hungarian variants are to a Hungarian. If Hungarian
followed the English model, you would have something like kezbän and
házbän, with the native speaker’s knowledge of the grammar of his language
determining whether {ä} was pronounced /a/ or /e/.

No, it is not a root *word*, just a root that provides some parts of the
paradigm of the verb *lenni*.

Note that it is not the whole word that is changing, but in the examples
that you give, it is the vowel that changes, child /tSaild/ ~ children
/[email protected]/ having both an internal change and an ending.

Most English word-internal changes are the results of one of three very
different aspects of our linguistic heritage:

1. Ablaut. An alternation dating back to Indo-European times responsible
for the systematic vowel changes in so-called strong verbs: bite – bit –
bitten, give – gave – given, sing – sang – sung, come – came -come.

2. Umlaut. An alternation dating back to late proto-Germanic, early West
Germanic and responsible for the vowel changes in certain plural forms:
man – men, mouse – mice

3. Vowel shift. An alternation dating back to Late Middle English. The
vowels in syllables ending in a single consonant developed differently
than the vowels ending in a consonant cluster: keep – kept, dream –
dreamt, south – southern.

If you are speaking with so-called normal people. Grammar teachers and

undrstand what you are talking about.

No. The two forms *mi* and *mit* each have their own function:

“*Mit az a kezedben” would be ungrammatical in Hungarian, just as “*Mi
csinálsz?” would be. (the asterisk (*) indicates that the sentence is
ungrammatical.)

Which means between four and five thousand years ago… The third
millennium B.C. lasted from 2999 B.C. until 2000 B.C. Add 2005 and you
have between 4,000 and 5000 years between the split and today.

No, there is far more than speculation. One of the methods that linguists
use to investigate such matters is the study of loanword strata coupled
with the study of historical sound changes. The Hungarian vocabulary has
layers of Uralic, Finno-Ugric, Ob-Ugric, Proto-Indo-European, Alan,
Hunnish, Bashkir, Caucasian, Bulgarian Turkish, Gothic, south and west
Slavic, Romanian, medieval and modern German, and Latin vocabulary. the
Finnish vocabulary, in turn, has layers of Uralic, Finno-Ugric,
Proto-Indo-European, Old Persian, Baltic, Proto-Germanic, East-Germanic,
Old Scandinavian, Old Russian, and medieval and modern Swedish vocabulary.
During the twentieth century both languages have augmented their
vocabularies with words from English and the classical languages, often
via the intermediary of English.

Elsewhere, too. Look at a map of Africa. Gambia, cut out of the center of
Senegal, is a completely artifical state. So are Uruguay in South America,
Kuwait in the Middle East, Pakistan and Bangladesh, carved out of India,
and Portugal, Northern Ireland, and Gibraltar in Europe. All of these
countries and territories are the creations of the British, often with
American collusion and support.

Did a serious story of Jewish soap ever even exist? As far as I remember,
the issue was one of soap rendered from cadavers, with no standpoint being
taken as to what ethnicity the cadars represented.

Be that as it may, not all of the internees at Bergen-Belsen were Jews.
The most credible accounts of soap being rendered from cadavers are from
Stutthof concentration camp, near Danzig:

Claims by Richard Harwood and Ditlieb Felderer

Harwood/Felderer’s first claim:

It would thus appear that the entire [soap] allegation is founded on
anonymous reports and speculative hearsay. No one can come up with any
locations, dates, or names. [27]

While many of the early reports regarding human soap were anonymous,
usually regarding the RIF soap, the later ones regarding the Danzig
Anatomical Institute are not based on anonymous reports. Although they
mention the photograph of the IMT soap evidence reproduced in Butz’s book,
Harwood and Felderer fail to mention USSR-197 (affidavits of Sygmund
Mazur, 28 May 1945; 11 June 1945; 12 June 1945); USSR-264 (affidavit of
John Henry Witton, 3 January 1946); or USSR-272 (affidavit of William
Anderson Neely, 7 January 1946).

They also fail to mention anything regarding Professor Spanner, Mazur,
Witton, and Neely. All actually worked in the Danzig Institute — not
quite “speculative hearsay.”

Harwood/Felderer’s second claim:

Many Exterminationist books make no mention at all of the “soap” story;
even outlandish books such as We Have Not Forgotten (2 & 6) which covers
every other conceivable German atrocity. The same is true of the numerous
other “Holocaustiana” which I have plowed through. Surely if there were
such factories there would be ample evidence to write book after book,
article after article, on this one subject. [28]

This is in direct contradiction to Mark Weber who argues (see above ) that
the soap story “has been authoritatively endorsed by numerous
historians.” Yet his two fellow Holocaust-deniers are pointing out that
most “exterminationists” do not mention the soap allegations in their
books and use that fact as proof that it did not happen. That is hardly
the picture that Weber painted in his article. The “revisionists” can’t
have it both ways.

Harwood/Felderer’s third claim:

Determined to get to the bottom of the “human soap” problem, I paid a
visit to Danzig, and unsuccessfully tried to locate the site of the “human
soap factory.” At the nearby Stutthof “extermination camp” I again sought
evidence, but not one of the officials or guides there could help. [29]

Evidently, Felderer and/or Harwood did not go to the Medical Academy on
that visit to Gdansk. Other researchers have not had any such problems.
Carl Tighe discussed Mazur, Spanner, and the Institute in his book,
Gdansk: National Identity in the Polish-German Borderlands , and in a
letter to the authors, he wrote:

I lived in the city of Gdansk in 1975-76 and was shown the recipe Spanner
used – I believe it is still in the possession of the Polytechnic. Among
students, particularly students at the Medical Academy and Polytechnic,
and local residents, most of whom arrived in the city after Spanner had
left, Spanner’s experiments were common lore. [30]

Julian Hendy visited the Gdansk Medical Academy during the Summer of 1994.
According to Hendy, “It occupies the same building as the Anatomical
Institute, the small brick shed built by the British POWs is still there.
And there’s a plaque on the wall about the soap experiments.”

Harwood/Felderer’s fourth claim:

It is certain that if the western public realized that almost all of these
atrocity allegations emanated from the communist bloc, then they would
receive about as much credence as contemporary communist propaganda about
intervening in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and now Afghanistan to “rescue the
inhabitants from foreign interference.” [31]

Although it was a Russian (L. N. Smirnov) who brought up the soap
allegations at the IMT, the Soviets had no control over the British
statements. Both Neely and Witton gave their depositions to the British
Judge Advocate General’s Office — in fact, both USSR-264 and USSR-272
clearly bear the designation MD/JAG/FS/22/609(4a) across the top.

What about Mazur’s depositions? Were they just communist propaganda, or
can his statements to the Soviets (USSR-197) be corroborated by anyone
else? Before speaking to the Soviets and giving his depositions, Mazur was
interviewed by the Glowna Komisja Badania Zbrodni Niemieckich w Polsce
(“Committee for the Investigation of German Crimes in Poland”).

This Committee, which was comprised of several prominent Poles
(journalists, doctors, lawyers) as well as some representatives of the Red
Army, entered the Danzig Institute on May 5, 1945. Mazur gave his formal
deposition to the Committee on May 12, sixteen days before he gave his
first deposition to the Soviets.

Zofia Nalkowska, a prominent novelist, was a member of the Committee and
discussed Mazur, Spanner, and the Danzig Institute in her 1946 non-fiction
book, Medaliony . The relevant portion was translated into English in
Introduction to Modern Polish Literature , Ed. Adam Gillon and Ludwik
Krzyzanowski. Nalkowksa quotes extensively from Mazur, and what he said to
the Committee was in substance exactly what he later said to the Soviets.
Nalkowska in no way can be considered a communist tool.

Stanislaw Strabski, another member of the Committee, was a Polish
journalist and published a 1946 book called Mydlo z ludzkiego tluszczu , a
preliminary translaton of which shows that he also discusses Spanner,
Mazur, and the Institute. So it is disingenuous to merely dismiss the
testimony at the IMT regarding the soap as communist propaganda: two of
the three affidavits were provided by the British JAG, and Mazur’s
statements to the Soviets are consistent with what he told the Committee
earlier in May 1945.

Conclusion

Why should it matter whether or not human soap was made from the corpses
of Nazi Germany’s victims? Whether Nazi Germany, or even one Nazi, made
human soap or attempted to make human soap does not change the fact that
Hitler attempted to exterminate European Jewry and murdered between 5 and
6 million of them.

Compared with this monumental crime, the soap allegations can be seen as
trivial.

Yet, the revisionists attach special importance to this question, hoping
thereby to cast doubt on the Nuremberg proceedings and on the Holocaust
itself.

For example, Mark Weber writes:

It is worth emphasizing here that the “evidence” presented at the
Nuremberg Tribunal for the bogus soap story was no less substantial than
the “evidence” presented for the claims of mass extermination in gas
chambers. [32]

Bradley R. Smith:

If Bauer and Lipstadt are right, who supplied this false evidence about
human soap to the Court? Why? Was the Court bamboozled about other
anti-German atrocity stories? Which ones? The gas chambers maybe? [33]

Carlos Porter:

The human soap accusation is particularly important because it was upheld
in the judgement at Nuremberg on the same page (IMT I-252) as gassing
millions of Jews and cutting their hair off to make human hair mattresses
.[34] (Emphasis in original.)

(Actually, the statement about the killing of millions is on the first two
lines of I-253, and has nothing to do with the statement about mattresses
on I-252 — but in any case, why would the page number be the least bit
important?)

As has already been pointed out several times above , the IMT did not
“uphold” or “confirm” the soap allegations that these revisionists are
talking about. Nor does it really matter whether or not the Nazis actually
made human soap — it does not affect, in any way whatsoever, the facts of
the Holocaust.

Nor was the quantity or quality of the evidence for soap production in any
way comparable to that of mass gassings: three testimonies and a few
corroborating pieces of evidence is in no way comparable to the
overwhelming stream of physical evidence and testimonies from the
perpetrators and other witnesses of gassings and other facets of the
Holocaust. To even try to draw the comparison is ludicrous.

But what the revisionists’ writings on the soap allegations demonstrate is
their usual techniques of anti-scholarship: deceit, denial, and
misrepresentation. They misquote; they omit what contradicts their
preconceived notions; and they offer nothing substantial to refute or
disprove the statements of Mazur, Witton, and Neely. Then, they take their
distorted case and say that it is only the beginning of “revisionist”
historical successes: if the soap, why not the gas chambers?

Nowhere is this clearer than in the words of Greg Raven :

The main front on which the revisionist battle is being fought is to
correct the Holocaust story. Here, the years since the publication of the
first Journal have seen remarkable retreats from the standard Holocaust
story, which used to include soap made from Jewish corpses, gas chambers
at Dachau, and all manner of fiendish methods of murder (including nuclear
devices). Revisionists have convincingly demonstrated virtually every
facet of the traditional Holocaust tale to be untrue, or at least wildly
exaggerated, resulting in a inexorable whittling down of the “accepted”
Holocaust story to a tiny fraction of what it once was. Even so, the “six
million” figure remains, indicating that there is yet more work to be
done. [35] (Emphasis Nizkor’s.)

We still cannot say with certainty whether or not human soap was made at
the Danzig Anatomical Institute. There are three affidavits from three
people who worked there to that effect, and corroborating physical
evidence. That is not sufficient to establish human soapmaking for
certain, but neither can it be dismissed out of hand.

Unlike the “revisionist scholars” cited in this rebuttal, we will continue
to investigate, examining all the evidence before reaching a conclusion,
rather than adopting their practice, which is to develop their prejudices
and then look for evidence to support them.

This was issue was brought up at Nuremberg and sufficient evidence was
presented in its favor for the allegations not to have been dismissed
outright. Claiming that the soap in question, if it was actually produced,
was specifically rendered from Jews is another issue. It is evidently an
exaggeration or a rumor. The fact that it is not to be taken seriously
does not mean, however, that the Nazis, crucially short of resources of
all kinds, never experimented with rendering soap from human byproducts,
or that the Jews have any monopoly over accounts of such experiments. The
museum at Bergen-Belsen [http://www.bergenbelsen.de/en/index.php], for
example, is run by a public foundation [http://www.stiftung-ng.de/]
located in Celle that is under the auspices of the state government of
Lower Saxony. The Jews of the world have little if any influence on what
the museum decides to display to the public.

<deletions>
When, on 8th September 1941, OKW issued its ruthless regulations for the
treatment of Soviet POW’s, Canaris wrote to Keitel that under
international law the SD should have nothing to do with this matter. On
this memorandum in Keitel’s handwriting, dated 23rd September and
initialled by him, is the statement: “The objections arise from the
military concept of chivalrous warfare. This is the destruction of an
ideology. Therefore I approve and back the measures.” Keitel testified
that he really agreed with Canaris and argued with Hitler, but lost. The
OKW Chief directed the military authorities to cooperate with the
Einsatzstab Rosenberg in looting cultural property in occupied
territories.

Lahousen testified that Keitel told him on 12th September, 1939, while
aboard Hitler’s headquarters train, that the Polish intelligentsia,
nobility and Jews were to be liquidated. On 20th October, Hitler told
Keitel the intelligentsia would be prevented from forming a ruling class,
the standard of living would remain low, and Poland would be used only for
labour forces. Keitel does not remember the Lahousen conversation, but
admits there was such a policy and that he had protested without effect to
Hitler about it.

On 16th September, 1941, Keitel ordered that attacks on soldiers in the
East should be met by putting to death 50 to 100 Communists for one
German soldier, with the comment that human life was less than nothing in
the East. On 1st October he ordered military commanders always to have
hostages to execute when German soldiers were attacked. When Terboven, the
Reich Commissioner in Norway, wrote Hitler that Keitel’s suggestion that
workmen’s relatives be held responsible for sabotage, could work only if
firing squads were authorised, Keitel wrote on this memorandum in the
margin:” Yes, that is the best.”

On 12th May, 1941, five weeks before the invasion of the Soviet Union, the
OKW urged upon Hitler a directive of the OKH that political commissars be
liquidated by the Army. Keitel admitted the directive was passed on to
field commanders. And on 13th May Keitel signed an order that civilians
suspected of offences against troops should be shot without trial, and
that prosecution of German soldiers for offences against civilians was
unnecessary. On 27th July all copies of this directive were ordered
destroyed without affecting its validity. Four days previously he signed
another order that legal punishment was inadequate and troops should use
terrorism.

In the face of these documents Keitel does not deny his connection with
these acts. Rather, his defence relies on the fact that he is a soldier,
and on the doctrine of “superior orders,” prohibited by Article 8 of the
Charter as a defence.

There is nothing in mitigation. Superior orders, men to a soldier cannot
be considered in mitigation where crimes as shocking and extensive have
been committed consciously, ruthlessly and without military excuse or
justification.

Conclusion The Tribunal finds Keitel guilty on all four counts.
</quote>

> The Germans didn’t murder the Jews.

The Nuremberg Tribunal came to a different conclusion on the basis of the
evidence submitted. Keitel’s defense was not that the charges were untrue,
but rather that policies such as the liquidation of political commissars
and the summary shooting of civilians did indeed exist, and that in
implementing them he was only following orders. It sentenced Keitel to
death for, among other things, crimes against humanity.

> The holocaust is a lie.

Keitel didn’t think so, and he was there.

Eidesstattliche Erklärung (2)

Faksimile
EIDESSTATTLICHE ERKLÄRUNG [1] Ich, Otto OHLENDORF, erkläre hiermit an
Eidesstatt:

Ich war Chef des Sicherheitsdienstes (SD, Amt III des Büros Hauptamtes des
Chefs der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD (RSHA), von 1939 bis 1945. Im Juni
1941 wurde ich von Himmler ernannt bestimmt, eine der Einsatzgruppen zu
fuehren, die damals
gebildet wurden, um den deutschen Armeen im russischen Feldzug zu folgen.
Ich war der Chef der Einsatzgruppe D. Chef der Einsatzgruppe A war
Stahlecker ,Chef des Amtes I des Bureaus des Chefs der Sicherheitspolizei
und des SD (RSHA) Abteilungsleiter im Auswärtigen Amt. Der Chef der
Einsatzgruppe
B war NEBE, Chef des Amtes V (KRIPO) des Bureaus Hauptamtes
des Chefs der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD (RSHA). Der Chef
der Einsatzgruppe C war zuerst Rasch (oder Rasche) und später Thomas .

Himmler erklärte, dass ein wichtiger Teil unserer Aufgabe in der
Beseitigung von Juden, Frauen, Maennern und Kindern, und
kommunistischen Funktionären bestuende. Ich wurde etwa vier
Wochen vorher ueber den Angriff auf Russland benachrichtigt.

Nach einem Abkommen mit dem OKW und dem OKH wurden die
Einsatz gruppen kommandos von der Heeresgruppe oder der
Armee bestimmten Korps und Divisionen des Heeres zugeteilt. Das
Heer bestimmte, in welchem Gebiet die Einsatz gruppen kommandos
zu operieren hatten. Alle Fuehrungsweisungen und Befehle fuer
die Ausfuehrung von Hinrichtungen kamen vom über den Chef der
SIPO und des SD (RSHA) in Berlin. Regelmaessiger Kurierdienst
und Radioverbindung bestanden zwischen den Einsatzgruppen und
dem Chef der SIPO und des SD.

Die Einsatzgruppen und Einsatzkommandos wurden von Personal der
Gestapo, des SD oder der Kriminalpolizei gefuehrt. Die Zusätzliche
Mannschaften wurde von der Ordnungspolizei und von der Waffen SS abgezogen
gestellt. Einsatzgruppe D bestand aus ungefaehr 400 bis 500 Mann und
verfuegte ueber annaehernd 170 Fahrzeuge.

-2-

Als die deutsche Armee in Russland einmarschierte, war ich
Fuehrer der Einsatzgruppe D im suedlichen Sektor, und im Laufe
des Jahres, waehrend dessen ich Fuehrer der Einsatzgruppe D war,
liquidierte sie ungefaehr 90,000 Maenner, Frauen und Kinder. Die
Mehrzahl der Liquidierten waren Juden, aber es waren unter ihnen
auch einige kommunistischen Funktionaere.

In der Ausfuehrung dieses Vernichtungsprogrammes wurden die
Einsatzgruppen in Einsatzkommandos untergeteilt, und die
Einsatzkommandos in noch kleinere Einheiten, die sogenannten
Sonderkommandos und Teilkommandos. Gewoehnlich wurden die
kleineren Einheiten von einem Angehörigen des SD, der GESTAPO
oder der Kriminalpolizei gefuehrt. Die dazu ausersehene Einheit
pflegte in ein Dorf oder in eine Stadt zu kommen und den
fuehrenden juedischen Einwohnern den Befehl zu erteilen, alle
Juden zwecks Umsiedlung zusammenzurufen. Sie wurden aufgefordert, alle
ihre persoenlichen Habseligkeiten Wertgegenstände den Fuehrern der Einheit
zu uebergeben, und kurz vor der Hinrichtung ihre Oberkleidung
auszuhaendigen. Die Maenner, Frauen und Kinder wurden danach zu einem
Hinrichtungsort gefuehrt, der sich meist neben einem vertieften
Panzerabwehrgraben befand. Dann wurden sie
erschossen, knieend oder stehend, und die Leichen wurden in den Graben
geworfen. Ich habe in der Gruppe D das Erschiessen durch Einzelpersonen
nie genehmigt, sondern befohlen, dass mehrere Leute gleichzeitig
schiessen sollten, um direkte, persoenliche Verantwortung zu vermeiden.
Die Fuehrer der Einheiten oder besonders bestimmte Personen mussten
jedoch den letzten Schuss
auf solche Opfer abfeuern, die nicht sofort tot waren. Ich erfuhr
aus Gespraechen mit anderen Gruppenfuehrern, dass manche von
ihnen verlangten, dass die Opfer sich flach auf den Boden legten,
um dann durch den Nacken geschossen zu werden. Ich billigte diese
Methoden nicht.

Im Fruehjahr 1942 wurden uns vom Chef der Sicherheitspolizei und
des SD in Berlin Toten Gaswagen geschickt. Diese Wagen wurden
vom Amt II des RSHA beigestellt. Der Mann, der fuer die Wagen
meiner Einsatzgruppe verantwortlich war, war Becker . Wir hatten
Befehl erhalten, die Wagen fuer die Toetung von Frauen und
Kindern zu benutzen. Jedes Mal wenn eine Einheit eine genuegende
Anzahl von Opfern angesammelt hatte, wurde ein Wagen fuer die
Liquidierung gesandt. Wir hatten auch diese Toten Gaswagen
in der Naehe der Durchgangslager stationiert, in die die Opfer
gebracht wurden. Den Opfern wurde gesagt, dass sie umgesiedelt
werden wuerden und zudiesem Zwecke in die Wagen steigen muessten.
Danach wurden die Tueren geschlossen, und das Gas angedreht. durch das
Ingangsetzen der Wagen strömte das Gas ein. Die Opfer
starben in 10 bis 15 Minuten. Die Wagen wurden dann zum
Begraebnisplatz gefahren, wo die Leichen herausgenommen und
begraben wurden.

Ich habe den Bericht von STAHLECKER (Dokument L-180) ueber
Einsatzgruppe A gesehen, in welchem Stahlecker behauptet, dass
seine Gruppe 135,000 Juden und Kommunisten in den ersten vier
Monaten der Aktion getoetet hat. Ich kannte Stahlecker
persoenlich, und ich bin der Ansicht, dass das Dokument
authentisch ist. Man hat mir den Brief bezeigt, den BECKER an
RAUFF, den Leiter der Technischen Abteilung vom Amt II,
bezueglich der Verwendung dieser Toten Gaswagen geschrieben
hat. Ich kannte diesen beiden Maenner persoenlich, und ich bin
der Ansicht, dass dieser Brief ein authentisches Dokument ist.

Either that, or Ohlendorf told some whoppers under oath. I find his
statement above that he objected to the orthodox and ultra-efficient
Jeckeln *Sardinenpackung* methodology of forcing the people to be executed
to lie down in the pre-dug grave and dispatching them with a single shot
in the neck (“Ich billigte diese Methoden nicht.”), preferring instead to
have several people shoot each victim, thereby wasting bullets and having
an excess of manpower, but also making it possible to evade personal
responsibility, particularly intreresting.

Did I say it was? I wrote that the issue was taken up at the Nuremberg
trials, and enough evidence was presented for it not to be dismissed
outright. In the overall scheme of things, whether or not the Nazis
rendered soap from human byproducts was, at most, an isolated and
non-systematic issue, being thus of marginal importance if true.

Pray tell, who are the ‘”official” Holocaust historians’® and who
authorizes them to serve in that capacity? What is David Irving, who has
written and spoken on the Holocaust, but denies having any expertise?

> holocau$t propaganda comprises:
> “official” holocau$t history,
What body is in charge of proclaiming it “officia”?

> holocau$t literature,
Are you claiming that all literature, scholarly, general non-fiction, and
belletristic, about the Holocaust is propaganda? Is every page of
literature about World War II, AIDS, or the December 26 tsunami disaster
propaganda as well?

> holocau$t promoting articles in magazines, newspaper, www pages,

The Holocaust affected millions of people as perpetrators, victims, and
descendants of these groups. Many people such as myself find it
interesting as a cultural and historical phenomenon as well. Are you
proclaiming that we do not have right to discuss the Holocaust and its
implications as we see fit?

> Many of these were not written/created by “official” holocau$t historians,
> however they all serve the same purpose: to promote the holocau$t lies.

The Holocaust is in the public domain, like all historical events. You
have singularly failed to demonstrate that the¨main claims made about the
Holocaust are lies, so let people use the historical evidence about the
Holocaust in any way that they see fit. Any deliberate lies or
exaggerations will certsainly bounce back.

> The goal of holocau$t propaganda is to deceive people that holocau$t
> happened,

No deception is involved. It happened. Perpetrators and victims agree on
that, and their consensus is supported by sufficient testimonial,
architectural, documentary, photographic, cinematographic, and physical
evidence to have convinced historians, governments, and courts of law in
every country involved. The evidence for the Holocaust, which took place
in at least fifteen countries over a span of six years, is far better in
terms of both quality and quantity than the evidence for the sinking of
the Titanic, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, or the events of
September 11, 2001. If the Holocaust did not happen, then we are dealing
with what is perhaps the greatest and most massive deception ever
perpetrated in recorded history.

> and not to teach people to distinguish which holocau$t lies are

You sound really confused. Now:
– identify these ‘”official” Holocaust historians’® and tell us who
qualifies them as official;
– give us some examples of “Holocaust lies” and “Holocaust truths”;
– explain to use the criteria that you use to distinguish one from the other;
– tell us why we should believe you rather than the people whose
profession it is to preserve and hand down accounts of historical
experience.

It would be far more interesting to see you try to defend your position
than to just have to read more of your unfocused and puerile rants.

Anthropologically south-western Finns have a considerable amount of
Scandinavian admixture, hardly surprising, given that language shifts,
intermarriage, and assimilations have long gone in both directions.
Linguistically the Finns speak a language distantly but clearly related to
Hungarian, anthropologically the relationship is even more distant.

> …in case you haven’t noticed they look Slavik.

There is no such thing as “looking Slavic”. The Slavs break down into
several distinct anthropological subgroups. Bulgarians don’t look like
Czechs; Belarussians don’t look like Ukrainians, Siberiaki don’t usually
look like people from Krasnoyarsk.

> Their ancestors the Kvens were considered Slavs by the Germans.

The Germans got it wrong, hardly the first time. A thousand years ago the
ethnonym Kven was used in the Germanic languages to indicate the
Finnish-speaking population of northern Sweden and Finland. Nowadays it is
the ethnonym of the small Finnish-speaking minority in Norway.

I am most certainly not a Germanic supremicist. The Indo-European-speaking
Balts certainly provided some of the input for the eventual elaboration of
early Slavic and the culture associated with it. But, at least
linguistically, Baltic and Slavic are distinct entities, with Slavic
arising almost two millennia after Baltic.

But is there “Germanic looking”? Icelanders don’t look like Bavarians.
Neither do Englishmen look like Swabians.

The Bulgarians, Macedonians, Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, and Slovenes are
linguistically and culturally Slavs. They were separated from the western
and eastern Slavs as a consequence of Roman, Germanic, and Hungarian
expansions. But they have as much right to be regarded as Slavs as the
Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Pomeranians, Kashubians, Sorbs, Russians,
Belarussians, and Ukrainians do.

I have read history and even spent a year studying Wulfila’s Gothic.
Nobody knows what the Goths looked like, but many Poles, Ukrainians,
Romanians, Bulgarians, Slovenes, Northern Italians, Catalonians, northern
Spanish, and southern French have some Gothic ancestry.

Agreed.

Nevertheless, the northeastern French, many of whose mother language is
Alsatian, and the Swabians are part of a linguistic and anthropological
continuum.

I have never claimed anything so nonsensical. The Germanic and the Slavic
peoples have made major contributions to European culture and identity,
and a Slavic language, velikiy, moguchiy, pravdivïy i svobodnïy russkiy
yazïk, Russian, is the European language with the most native speakers in
Europe.

I am no Germanic supremacist. Da zdravstvuyet russkiy yazïk! Éljön a

Richard Breitman’s book *Official Secrets. What the Nazis planned, What
the British and Americans knew*, 1998 provides information about what was
known by Western intelligence services about the Holocaust. On the basis
of coded German police messages deciphered by British intelligence,
Breitman demonstrated that London and Washington were aware of the mass
murders of the Jews that were being carried out on Germany’s eastern front
as they were taking place. The coded messages were being sent by the
groups of Order Police (Ordungspolizei), the local police units that were
assisting the SS-trained Einsatzgruppen to round up and shoot Jews.

Breitman also uses the secret police messages that he found as a basis for
concluding that in many cases the high Nazi authorities had to manipulate
and compel the men of the Order Police to participate in the killing of
the Jews. They were not, as Goldhagen argues, simply willing executioners.
These policemen were unaware of the degree to which the killing they were
doing was part of a systematic planb because only a small and selected
group within the Nazi leadership was aware of the ³final solution². Right
up until the end, the high Nazi authorities attempted to conceal their
final solution of the Jewish question from ordinary Germans, including
many of those carrying out the actual killings, and the rest of the world.

Breitman is certain that those in London who had read the deciphered
German coded messages knew that what was going on was systematic murdering
of Jews and not just the occasional pogrom. The head of British Secret
Intelligence (SIS), Sir Graham Stewart Menzies, had selectively informed
Prime Minister Winston Churchill of what the Nazis were doing, but in his
public speeches he linked the atrocities committed by the Germans on the
eastern front only to Soviet civilians. For example, in his radio speech
of August 24, 1941 Winston Churchill said ³that Germany’s police forces
have executed Russian patriots who were defending their homeland in
cold-blood². Churchill never mentioned Jews separately in any of his
public appearances, even though there were precise numbers concerning the
killings of Jews on his desk.

No German police messages about the murders of Jews were used as evidence
at the Nuremberg Trials since they remained classified until 1997 when the
British Public Record office declassified them. At that time it was also
revealed that some of these documents had been handed over to the
Americans in 1982 in connection with the investigation of certain war
crimes. Not even these documents were made public until 1996.

Breitman also pointed out that British military intelligence (MI 8) handed
the decoded German police messages over to their Soviet colleagues at the
beginning of 1942 with no preconditions, evidently in the hope of
increasing other mutual exchanges of information. Obtaining archival
information about cooperation between the Western Allies and the
intelligence organs of the Soviet Union remains difficult. Breitman
remarks that the German police code messages were technically fairly
primitive, deriving from codes used during the First World War. They were
not part of the so-called ULTRA material that was concealed from the
Soviet Union for the duration of the Cold War.

The Americans also denied the Soviet Union access to the so-called VENONA
material, ³the biggest secret of the Cold War era². This was a collection
of encoded telegrams of the NKVD, the MKGB, and GRU, Soviet military
intelligence, that had been deciphered by the Americans between 1941 and
1948. On the basis of them the MKGB (KGB) espionage network in the United
States and the American spies working within it were mapped out.
Evidently, concealing the ULTRA and VENONA information from their Soviet
wartime ally was a more important consideration for American security than
identifying and condemning those who had participated in the mass murder
of Jews.

Book Review: America and the Holocaust

Official Secrets: What the Nazis Planned, What the British and Americans Knew

Official Secrets: What the Nazis Planned, What the British and Americans
Knew. By Richard Breitman. New York: Hill and Wang, 1998. viii + 325 pp.

The critical questions about the Holocaust witness role of the United
States and Britain concerns what they knew and when they knew it. Official
Secrets takes us a long way in providing an answer. In short, it is this:
the British government and, to a lesser extent, the Roosevelt
administration knew almost everything, and they knew it comparatively
early.

We learn that the British talent for cryptography allowed them, a few
weeks after the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, to decode much
of the communication of the Order Police (Ordnungspolizei), those local
police units who, together with the SS-trained Einzatsgruppen, did much of
the actual killing behind German lines. The decodes, which came into
Breitman’s hands fortuitously, shed new light on old problems, but at the
same time they raise new questions. Why, for example, was no effort made
to inform Jews of the fate that awaited them if they fell into Nazi
hands? Such an information strategy was possible without compromising the
secret of the decrypted codes. Why were the decodes shared with Moscow
but not with the U.S.? Why was the information about the officials
involved in the killing not used in the post-war denazification procedure
and as evidence in the war-crimes trials?

The task Breitman faced in filtering out the nuggets of useful
information and grafting it on to the stock of what was already known
must have been formidable. It required a detailed familiarity with the
complex tapestry of the Holocaust so that the new pieces can be fit as in
a puzzle. The previously neglected role of Kurt DaLuege, Commander of the
Order Police, is one of the most interesting of these. The composition of
that organization has become crucial evidence regarding the involvement
of the average German citizen in the murder of the Jews which so concerns
Daniel Goldhagen and others. These units were not indoctrinated to carry
out the ideological mission of racial purification. Ostensibly, they were
“ordinary men” and can therefore give us an insight into the question of
whether it was “eliminationist” anti-Semitism or peer pressure or even
desire to avoid service on the eastern front which [End Page 133]
propelled most members to daily continue the business of mass murder and
to rarely seek to transfer out of these units. Breitman is a moderate
functionalist who is convinced that, while the idea of genocide has an old
and unchanging place in Hitler’s mind, the actual strategy and plans for
mass murder were worked out operationally. The Nazi bureaucracy did not
know precisely how it would accomplish the much desired goal of making the
world Judenrein, but neither was European Jewry destroyed in a fit of
absentmindedness. In sharp contrast to Goldhagen, Breitman concludes that
“if all German police had been ‘willing executioners’ there would have
been less official concern and far less urgency behind the push toward the
use of gas chambers as a means of mass murder” (p. 226).

It is in his observations regarding information or propaganda strategy
that Breitman’s analysis is most convincing. The crucial muting of the
information available on the killing by the American Office of War
Information and the British Ministry of Information was based as much on
the assumption that the war should not be imaged as one to save the Jews,
as on an unwillingness to believe the accumulating evidence of genocide.
Surely there was some anti-Semitism involved in the assumption that there
was exaggeration in the information provided by men like Gerhard Riegner,
the World Jewish Congress agent in Switzerland, but there was also a
fear, especially in Anthony Eden’s Foreign Office, that Berlin would
wield the Jewish question like a weapon of war and use the refugee crisis
to exacerbate the critical strategic situation in the Middle East. Eden’s
personal distaste for Jews was reinforced by what seemed to be a genuine
threat to British national interest.

Eventually knowledge of the operation of the Final Solution could no
longer be concealed. Though on several occasions the British leafleted
and broadcast what was being done in Germany’s name in the east,
reluctance to speak about the genocide continued even after it was clear
that such knowledge could have an effect in Germany and occupied Europe.
There were five million short-wave radio sets in the hands of German
citizens, and, although Nazi authorities were skilled at detecting
listeners, we know from many sources that these broadcasts were widely
listened to. The impact of news of impending deportations from Berlin was
sufficient to trigger the Rosenstrasse Protest. In March 1943 hundreds of
Aryan partners succeeded in getting the deportations of 17,000 of their
Jewish mates halted. Certainly, after Stalingrad and growing certainty
that victory would go to the Allies, such information, coupled with
threats that participators in the atrocities would be held accountable,
would have gone far in breaking the cooperation in the satellites. That
threat played a crucial role in halting the Hungarian [End Page 134]
deportations. There seems little doubt that had the “curtain of silence”
which surrounded the Final Solution been lifted by beaming the available
information to occupied Europe and to the German people and even informing
them that the savaging of their cities was in retribution for what was
happening in the east, more lives might have been saved. It is one of the
few “if onlies” that seems doable.

In the final five months of 1942 alone, 10,100 messages were intercepted
and most were decoded. The intercepts contained much more than news of
the number of Jews killed. The sheer number of intercepted and decoded
messages was one of the clues that an invasion of the Soviet Union was
imminent. From the outset the fear that Berlin would discover that their
secret codes had been compromised hung over the operation. When, after
reading the decoded intercepts, Churchill did speak on August 21, 1941 of
the “merciless butchery” on the eastern front, there was great fear that
his speech would reveal the success of the code-breakers. Fortunately
there were other information sources like the governments in exile which
had good information about what was happening in their countries. The
hard fact is that British and to a lesser extent American intelligence
possessed early confirmed information about the Holocaust and did little
to make it known. The British actually knew more and said less. That fact
may make it necessary to modify our conventional wisdom that places
Churchill ahead of Roosevelt in understanding the historical significance
of the Holocaust and sympathizing with its victims.

What Breitman does in a clear, uncluttered prose is to add detail to the
bureaucratic process of the genocide operation in Berlin and to the
bureaucratic viscosity and indifference that prevented a human response
in Washington and London. Despite its subtitle, What the Nazis Planned,
What the British and Americans Knew, this work remains a collection of
separate episodes, each interesting in its own right. In his focus on how
rather than why it was done, Breitman’s work bears some resemblance to
that of Raoul Hilberg who used to declare that when we fully understand
how it was done, the “why” would take care of itself. Thirty-eight years
later, Breitman’s research gives that notion a ring of truth. It may be
that the “why” of the Holocaust is best left to the psychohistorians. Let
them begin with the decodes.

It was presented as a statement made under oath. You are making serious
accusations, what evidence are they based on?

Nonsense.

When Otto Ohlendorf testified at Nuremberg he said:

COL. AMEN: In what respects, if any, were the official duties of the
Einsatz groups concerned with Jews and Communist commissars?

OHLENDORF: The instructions were that in the Russian operational
areas of the Einsatzgruppen the Jews, as well as the Soviet political
commissars, were to be liquidated.

COL. AMEN: And when you say “liquidated” do you mean “killed”?

OHLENDORF: Yes, I mean “killed”.

COL. AMEN: Prior to the opening of the Soviet campaign, did you
attend a conference at Pretz?

OHLENDORF: Yes, it was a conference at which the Einsatzgruppen and
the Einsatzkommandos were informed of their tasks and were given the
necessary orders.

COL. AMEN: Who was present at that conference?

OHLENDORF: The chiefs of the Einsatzgruppen and the commanders of the
Einsatzkommandos and Streckenbach of the RHSA who transmitted the orders
of Heydrich and Himmler.

COL. AMEN: What were those orders?

OHLENDORF: Those were the general orders of the normal work of the
Sipo and the SD, and in addition the liquidation order which I have
already mentioned.

COL. AMEN: And that conference took place on approximately what date?

OHLENDORF: About three or four days before the mission.

COL. AMEN: So that before you commenced to march into Soviet Russia
you received orders at this conference to exterminate the Jews and
Communist functionaries in addition to the regular professional work of
the Security Police and SD; is that correct?

OHLENDORF: Yes.

> As chief of Amt III from 1939 to 1945,
> he certainly would have known if such an order had ever been given.

Read the end of the above testimony again:
