Wilkomirski was lionized for being a "child survivor" of Auschwitz
after he published a book detailing his horrible terrible
experiences at the hands of the Germans. Shortly before he
was cannonized, but after he had made a haul selling his book,
he was exposed as a fraud.
Olga Lengyel was lionized for being a "doctor survivor of Auschwitz
after she published a book detailing her horrible terrrible
experiences at the hands of the Germans. She made a haul
selling her book detailing German crimes and perversions and
has apparantly made it into the pantheon of Holocaust untouchable
saints whose words cannot be questioned.
Timing is everything in business.
Poor Ceacaa has been excoriated by the Believers for pointing
out "little details" like the fact that Olga got her own registration
number wrong, or the size of Birkenau Camp wrong by a factor
of 5, or the description of the gas chamber totally wrong.
You know, minor Denier nattering. about facts that can be
cross-checked.
Which was a good question directed at the hate peddler who
raised the red herring. But all Cloaca could come up with was
his usual gibberish.
His arguent boils down to stating that Lengyel can not be
believed because someone else lied. That is analogous to stating
that John McCain cannot be beleived about his experiences in a
prison camp in Hanoi because others have lied about their
experiences in Viet Nam and then using it to claim that prisoners
were not maltreated in Hanoi.
It is nonsense and Cloaca knows it.
>Poor Ceacaa has been excoriated by the Believers for pointing
>out "little details"
No. Cloaca has been -- and will continue to be -- excoriated
for his dishonest dodging,
The irrefutable fact is that about1,000,000 more Jews were
transported to Auschwitz thain survived the war.
Cloaca claims they were not murdered.
Very well. Then it is his burden to demonstrate what
happened to them.
To date it has been impossible to get a straight answer from
him. Instead he wishes to natter on about minor details only
tengentially important to the real issue.
Sooner or later he will give a straight answer rather than
running away to check the sales on "The International Jew."
My bet is later. Much, much later.

Prejudicial language. Apparently Mr. Wilkomirski believed he was a
survivor of Auschwitz. After his book was published and the discrepancies
noted, it came out that he was not; yet he protested that his memories of
Auschwitz were certain.
The Wilkomirski case is not proof against the Holocaust; if anything, it
is proof against assisted "recovery" of memories.

Did she "make a haul"? I would love to see the information you have on
her financial dealings. Still, she is a far more believable witness than
Mr. Allen is a debater.

Actually, the little details are what make her story believable.
Disregarding the tattoo conflict (for John Morris has already dealt with
that), I have not yet found anything in the book where she describes a
gas chamber; and in terms of the scope of Birkenau, it is easy to see
where one could get disoriented about its size. It was, as you know,
enormous, and the prisoners were not given tools and opportunity to
survey the area.

Yet her other facts are just fine. The little ones. About sleeping jammed
together, about fierce hunger and thirst, about "sport," about the
command heirarchy, about the cruelty of kapos, and so on. These facts
corroborate just fine with other survivor accounts taken independently.
No testimony is perfect. The human mind is flawed. Are you able to
remember precisely what happened during the last emergency in which you
were involved? Can you map precisely, without error, the last crisis in
which you reacted, so that every detail matches every detail of every
other person involved? No. You cannot. One listens to testimony to find
the truth and discard the dross.
One error does not render an entire testimony moot. Even lawyers know
that.

It reminds us (as if we needed reminding) that the testimony of

I quote from Newsweek - May 15, 1989 on page 64:

False. Physical evidence and the Nazis' own documentation make up the bulk
of the evidence against the Nazi regime. These would be sufficient to damn
the Nazis, even if no survivor had spoken.

Agreed. "Disbelief in the Holocaust" is simply evidence of deliberate stupidity.
In Liar's case, of course, he has provided us with a vast body of evidence
of his own character defects, independent of his Holocaust denial.

Wrong, Phillips. The Holocaust is easily provable by evidence left by the Nazis
themselves. Truckloads of documents: memoirs, reports, memos, testimonies,
demographic reports, judicial decisions; physical evidence, artifacts, photographs,
films, archaeological evidence--all from the Nazis themselves--would condemn them
had not one survivor remained to testify.

Why only Jews? I am a fairly excitable Gentile who finds Holocaust Denial to be
proof of a character defect AND evil intent. At the very least, it is indicative of
willful ignorance.

And historians do quarrel over some details. However, no honest historian inflates
a discrepancy in testimony to damnation of the Holocaust. That the Holocaust
happened is not a question for genuine historians.

Phillips
Documents? You can, no doubt, produce an order signed by AH putting the
whole thing in motion. I could hardly imagine it having happened without
that.
(a)Physical evidence? You can I am sure, from the 'tons of
documentation' you are forever talking about, produce DETAILED
construction drawings for an execution gas chamber.
(b) And from those same 'tons' you can no doubt produce a manual
covering such items as how to shove the by-now-terrified victims inside.
(Had there been execution chambers, there most certainly would have BEEN
such a manual.)
(c) And no doubt you can produce a scientific report by reputable
scientists (free of any institutional pressures) describing in detail
the modus operandi. (If you can, it would be something Raul Hilbert
couldn't do because precisely that question was put to him at the first
Zuendel trial.)
I have been trying for two years to get items (a), (b), and (c) and all
I have to show for my efforts are lies, evasions, sarcasms, insults, and
some sick joke of a website. Possibly you'll be more forthcoming.

You may or may not be aware of this but, up until mid-'91, I was myself

Also, I am the grandson of Russian-Jewish immigrants (ALL FOUR).

Phillips
(1) Newsweek was not talking about "details."
(2) If, by "genuine" historians, you mean the ones holding
comfortably-tenured posts in Academia, you are entirely right; they ARE
Holocaust believers. That is one reason WHY they hold
comfortably-tenured posts in Academia. However, like it or don't like
it, but some very serious work on revisionism has been done by men who
cannot be airily dismissed: Arthur Butz, Carlo Mattogni, Robert
Faurisson, Udo Wallendy.
(3) Three scientists with impeccable credentials (Lindsay, Rudolph, and
Luftl) each made an examination of your so-called 'gas chamber.' Every
one of them concluded that it could not possibly have been used for the
purpose claimed for it. So far as i am aware, the best you can match
against that is a French pharmacist who was ripped to shreds by another
Frenchman (Sion, or something like that) and whose name we rarely hear
today.

Don't bother. Many have provided Phillips with evidence or told him where
to find it. He simply either changes his demands or refuses to acknowledge
the evidence. It doesn't much matter what it is or how reputable the
source is. Phillips denies. It's his modus operandi.

Oh, I am plenty aware of Phillips and his dishonest approach to, well,
anything, really. That's why when he claims to have suddenly "converted" from
"believer" to Denier in 1991, I take it with a small Siberian salt mine. His
shiftiness, regarding proof that can meet his exacting (ie, impossible)
standards is becoming legendary.
What he doesn't realize is that the Holocaust stands as historical fact, even
if one removed every atom of physical evidence of a gas chamber in the Third
Reich.The Belzec excavations are the most damning example of that. In fact,
the veracity of the Holocaust stands because its support is so varied: remove
the gas chambers, and you still have the documents. Remove the documents, and
you still have the excavations. Remove the excavations, and you still have
the photos. Remove the photos, and you still have Nazi testimony. On and on
and on.
It is, very simply, too thick a web of proof to be discounted by anyone but
the dishonest.
You mean that even if we did not have so much as a fragment of physical
evidence for the existence and operation of execution gas chambers, it
would still be an historical fact that Jews were executed in gas
chambers - yes?
====================================================
The Belzec excavations are the most damning example of that.

Very well, we have "removed" the gas chambers, meaning that we now admit

Let's see: we have removed the gas chambers, the documents, the
excavations, and the photos. THe entire thing now rests entirely on Nazi
testimony correct? Has anyone ever told you that when you want
"confessions" badly enough, ther are ways of getting them. Rudolph
Hoess, were he alive, could tell you a bit about that.

At a minimum, 37,000 cubic metres of graves. That's equivalent to a
grave bigger than a Canadian football field (which is slightly larger
than an American one), but also 10 metres deep. For the metrically
impaired that's about 33 feet. Modern buildings tend to have rooms
with 8 foot ceilings, so we're talking about a space that would have
been as deep as a modern-day four storey building.
That's a helluva lot of volume for graves, even when you don't take
into account the fact that a very large proportion of the graves
contained the reduced remains of corpses that had been cremated.

Philllips imagined that he knew the load capacity of the B-17 better than
Boeing did. He was wrong.
Philllips imagined that he could cite a long-discredited forgery of a
speech by Benjamin Franklin and not get called on it. He was wrong.
What Philllips "imagines" bears little, if any, resemblance to reality.

Actually, all Philllips has to show for his efforts is the fact that he's
a lying bastard. When it appeared that he might actually get the evidence
he sought, he changed his demands and then lied about changing them. He'll
do the same again.

You may not be aware of this, but Philllips has lied about his past

Nope. Liar Philllips has provided ample evidence of all three, right here

You don't get points for trying anymore. No, you have (once again) purposely missed

if you *do not consider* the gas chambers, there still exists mountains of evidence
of the Holocaust. Similarly, if you *do not consider* the memos, there are still

Rudolf Höss was alive, and when he was, he didn't say a word about it. (And don't use
the "wasn't allowed to write about it" canard. His memoirs were extremely critical of
the Allies and still espoused National Socialist beliefs, right up to his death. If
the Allies were coercing his memoirs, wouldn't it stand to reason they would excise
the critical parts and require him to renounce his beloved Nazism? He never did.)
You mean: absent the gas chambers we still have a Holocaust - right? OK,

Auschwitz: Myths and facts
by Mark Weber
Nearly everyone has heard of Auschwitz, the German wartime concentration
camp where many prisoners --
most of them Jewish -- were reportedly exterminated, especially in gas
chambers. Auschwitz is widely
regarded as the most terrible Nazi extermination center. The camp's
horrific reputation cannot, however, be
reconciled with the facts.
Scholars challenge Holocaust story
Astonishing as it may seem, more and more historians and engineers have
been challenging the widely
accepted Auschwitz story. These "revisionist" scholars do not dispute
the fact that large numbers of Jews
were deported to the camp, or that many died there, particularly of
typhus and other diseases. But the
compelling evidence they present shows that Auschwitz was not an
extermination center and that the story of
mass killings in "gas chambers" is a myth.
The Auschwitz camps
The Auschwitz camp complex was set up in 1940 in what is now
south-central Poland. Large numbers of
Jews were deported there between 1942 and mid-1944.
The main camp was known as Auschwitz I. Birkenau, or Auschwitz II, was
supposedly the main
extermination center, and Monowitz, or Auschwitz III, was a large
industrial center where gasoline was
produced from coal. In addition there were dozens of smaller satellite
camps devoted to the war economy.
Four million victims?
At the postwar Nuremberg Tribunal, the Allies charged that the Germans
exterminated four million people at
Auschwitz. This figure, which was invented by the Soviets, was
uncritically accepted for many years. It often
appeared in major American newspapers and magazines, for example. (note
1)
Today no reputable historian, not even those who generally accept the
extermination story, believes this figure.
Israeli Holocaust historian Yehuda Bauer said in 1989 that it is time to
finally acknowledge the familiar four
million figure is a deliberate myth. In July 1990 the Auschwitz State
Museum in Poland, along with Israel's
Yad Vashem Holocaust Center, suddenly announced that altogether perhaps
one million people (both Jews
and non-Jews) died there. Neither institution would say how many of
these people were killed, nor were any
estimates given of the numbers of those supposedly gassed. (note 2) One
prominent Holocaust historian,
Gerald Reitlinger, has estimated that perhaps 700,000 or so Jews
perished at Auschwitz. More recently,
Holocaust historian Jean-Claude Pressac has estimated that about 800,000
persons -- of whom 630,000
were Jewish -- perished at Auschwitz. While even such lower figures are
incorrect, they show how the
Auschwitz story has changed drastically over the years. (note 3)
Bizarre tales
At one time it was seriously claimed that Jews were systematically
electrocuted at Auschwitz. American
newspapers, citing a Soviet eyewitness report from liberated Auschwitz,
told readers in February 1945 that
the methodical Germans had killed Jews there using an "electric conveyor
belt on which hundreds of persons
could be electrocuted simultaneously [and] then moved on into furnaces.
They were burned almost instantly,
producing fertilizer for nearby cabbage fields." (note 4)
And at the Nuremberg Tribunal, chief U.S. prosecutor Robert Jackson
charged that the Germans used a
"newly invented" device to instantaneously "vaporize" 20,000 Jews near
Auschwitz "in such a way that there
was no trace left of them." (note 5) No reputable historian now accepts
either of these fanciful tales.
The Höss 'confession'
A key Holocaust document is the "confession" of former Auschwitz
commandant Rudolf Höss of April 5,
1946, which was submitted by the U.S. prosecution at the main Nuremberg
trial. (note 6)
Although it is still widely cited as solid proof for the Auschwitz
extermination story, it is actually a false
statement that was obtained by torture.
Many years after the war, British military intelligence sergeant Bernard
Clarke described how he and five
other British soldiers tortured the former commandant to obtain his
"confession." Höss himself privately
explained his ordeal in these words: "Certainly, I signed a statement
that I killed two and half million Jews. I
could just as well have said that it was five million Jews. There are
certain methods by which any confession
can be obtained, whether it is true or not." (note 7)
Even historians who generally accept the Holocaust extermination story
now acknowledge that many of the
specific statements made in the Höss "affidavit" are simply not true.
For one thing, no serious scholar now
claims that anything like two and a half or three million people
perished in Auschwitz.
The Höss "affidavit" further alleges that Jews were already being
exterminated by gas in the summer of 1941
at three other camps: Belzec, Treblinka and Wolzek. The "Wolzek" camp
mentioned by Höss is a total
invention. No such camp existed, and the name is no longer mentioned in
Holocaust literature. Moreover, the
story these days by those who believe in the Holocaust legend is that
gassings of Jews did not begin at
Auschwitz, Treblinka, or Belzec until sometime in 1942.
No documentary evidence
Many thousands of secret German documents dealing with Auschwitz were
confiscated after the war by the
Allies. Not a single one refers to a policy or program of extermination.
In fact, the extermination story cannot
be reconciled with the documentary evidence.
Many Jewish inmates unable to work
For example, it is often claimed that all Jews at Auschwitz who were
unable to work were immediately killed.
Jews who were too old, young, sick, or weak were supposedly gassed on
arrival, and only those who could
be worked to death were temporarily kept alive.
But the evidence shows that, in fact, a very high percentage of the
Jewish inmates were not able to work, and
were nevertheless not killed. For example, an internal German telex
message dated Sept. 4, 1943, from the
chief of the Labor Allocation department of the SS Economic and
Administrative Main Office (WVHA),
reported that of 25,000 Jewish inmates in Auschwitz, only 3,581 were
able to work, and that all of the
remaining Jewish inmates -- some 21,500, or about 86 percent -- were
unable to work. (note 8)
This is also confirmed in a secret report dated April 5, 1944, on
"security measures in Auschwitz" by Oswald
Pohl, head of the SS concentration camp system, to SS chief Heinrich
Himmler. Pohl reported that there was
a total of 67,000 inmates in the entire Auschwitz camp complex, of whom
18,000 were hospitalized or
disabled. In the Auschwitz II camp (Birkenau), supposedly the main
extermination center, there were 36,000
inmates, mostly female, of whom "approximately 15,000 are unable to
work." (note 9)
These two documents simply cannot be reconciled with the Auschwitz
extermination story.
The evidence shows that Auschwitz-Birkenau was established primarily as
a camp for Jews who were not
able to work, including the sick and elderly, as well as for those who
were temporarily awaiting assignment to
other camps. That's the considered view of Dr. Arthur Butz of
Northwestern University, who also says that
this was the reason for the unusually high death rate there. (note 10)
Princeton University history professor Arno Mayer, who is Jewish,
acknowledges in a recent book about the
"final solution" that more Jews perished at Auschwitz as a result of
typhus and other "natural" causes than
were executed. (note 11)
Anne Frank
Perhaps the best known Auschwitz inmate was Anne Frank, who is known
around the world for her famous
diary. But few people know that thousands of Jews, including Anne and
her father, Otto Frank, "survived"
Auschwitz.
The 15-year-old girl and her father were deported from the Netherlands
to Auschwitz in September 1944.
Several weeks later, in the face of the advancing Soviet army, Anne was
evacuated along with many other
Jews to the Bergen-Belsen camp, where she died of typhus in March 1945.
Her father came down with typhus in Auschwitz and was sent to the camp
hospital to recover. He was one of
thousands of sick and feeble Jews who were left behind when the Germans
abandoned the camp in January
1945, shortly before it was overrun by the Soviets. He died in
Switzerland in 1980.
If the German policy had been to kill Anne Frank and her father, they
would not have survived Auschwitz.
Their fate, tragic though it was, cannot be reconciled with the
extermination story.
Allied propaganda
The Auschwitz gassing story is based in large part on the hearsay
statements of former Jewish inmates who
did not personally see any evidence of extermination. Their beliefs are
understandable, because rumors about
gassings at Auschwitz were widespread.
Allied planes dropped large numbers of leaflets, written in Polish and
German, on Auschwitz and the
surrounding areas which claimed that people were being gassed in the
camp. The Auschwitz gassing story,
which was an important part of the Allied wartime propaganda effort, was
also broadcast to Europe by Allied
radio stations. (note 12)
Survivor testimony
Former inmates have confirmed that they saw no evidence of extermination
at Auschwitz.
An Austrian woman, Maria Vanherwaarden, testified about her camp
experiences in a Toronto District Court
in March 1988. She was interned in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942 for having
sexual relations with a Polish
forced laborer. On the train trip to the camp, a Gypsy woman told her
and the others that they would all be
gassed at Auschwitz.
Upon arrival, Maria and the other women were ordered to undress and go
into a large concrete room without
windows to take a shower. The terrified women were sure that they were
about to die. But then, instead of
gas, water came out of the shower heads.
Auschwitz was no vacation center, Maria confirmed. She witnessed the
death of many fellow inmates by
disease, particularly typhus, and quite a few committed suicide. But she
saw no evidence at all of mass
killings, gassings, or of any extermination program. (note 13)
A Jewish woman named Marika Frank arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau from
Hungary in July 1944, when
25,000 Jews were supposedly gassed and cremated daily. She likewise
testified after the war that she heard
and saw nothing of "gas chambers" during the time she was interned
there. She heard the gassing stories only
later. (note 14)
Inmates released
Auschwitz internees who had served their sentences were released and
returned to their home countries. If
Auschwitz had actually been a top secret extermination center, the
Germans would certainly not have released
inmates who "knew" what was happening in the camp. (note 15)
Himmler orders death rate reduced
In response to the deaths of many inmates due to disease, especially
typhus, the German authorities
responsible for the camps ordered firm counter-measures.
The head of the SS camp administration office sent a directive dated
Dec. 28, 1942, to Auschwitz and the
other concentration camps. It sharply criticized the high death rate of
inmates due to disease, and ordered that
"camp physicians must use all means at their disposal to significantly
reduce the death rate in the various
camps." Furthermore, it ordered:
The camp doctors must supervise more often than in the past the
nutrition of the prisoners and,
in cooperation with the administration, submit improvement
recommendations to the camp
commandants . . . The camp doctors are to see to it that the
working conditions at the various
labor places are improved as much as possible.
Finally, the directive stressed that "the Reichsfhrer SS [Heinrich
Himmler] has ordered that the death rate
absolutely must be reduced." (note 16)
German camp regulations
Official German camp regulations make clear that Auschwitz was not an
extermination center. They ordered:
(note 17)
New arrivals in the camp are to be given a thorough medical
examination, and if there is any
doubt [about their health], they must be sent to quarantine for
observation.
Prisoners who report sick must be examined that same day by the
camp physician. If necessary,
the physician must transfer the prisoners to a hospital for
professional treatment.
The camp physician must regularly inspect the kitchen regarding the
preparation of the food and
the quality of the food supply. Any deficiencies that may arise
must be reported to the camp
commandant.
Special care should be given in the treatment of accidents, in
order not to impair the full
productivity of the prisoners.
Prisoners who are to be released or transfered must first be
brought before the camp physician
for medical examination.
Telltale aerial photos
Detailed aerial reconnaissance photographs taken of Auschwitz-Birkenau
on several random days in 1944
(during the height of the alleged extermination period there) were made
public by the CIA in 1979. These
photos show no trace of piles of corpses, smoking crematory chimneys or
masses of Jews awaiting death,
things that have been repeatedly alleged, and all of which would have
been clearly visible if Auschwitz had
been the extermination center it is said to have been. (note 18)
Absurd cremation claims
Cremation specialists have confirmed that thousands of corpses could not
possibly have been cremated every
day throughout the spring and summer of 1944 at Auschwitz, as commonly
alleged.
For example, Mr. Ivan Lagace, manager of a large crematory in Calgary,
Canada, testified in court in April
1988 that the Auschwitz cremation story is technically impossible. The
allegation that 10,000 or even 20,000
corpses were burned every day at Auschwitz in the summer of 1944 in
crematories and open pits is simply
"preposterous" and "beyond the realm of reality," he declared under
oath. (note 19)
Gassing expert refutes extermination story
America's leading gas chamber expert, Boston engineer Fred A. Leuchter,
carefully examined the supposed
"gas chambers" in Poland and concluded that the Auschwitz gassing story
is absurd and technically
impossible.
Leuchter is the foremost specialist on the design and installation of
gas chambers used in the United States to
execute convicted criminals. For example, he designed a gas chamber
facility for the Missouri state
penitentiary.
In February 1988 he carried out a detailed onsite examination of the
"gas chambers" at Auschwitz, Birkenau
and Majdanek in Poland, which are either still standing or only
partially in ruins. In sworn testimony to a
Toronto court and in a technical report, Leuchter described every aspect
of his investigation.
He concluded by emphatically declaring that the alleged gassing
facilities could not possibly have been used to
kill people. Among other things, he pointed out that the so-called "gas
chambers" were not properly sealed or
vented to kill human beings without also killing German camp personnel.
(note 20)
Dr. William B. Lindsey, a research chemist employed for 33 years by the
Dupont Corporation, likewise
testified in a 1985 court case that the Auschwitz gassing story is
technically impossible. Based on a careful
on-site examination of the "gas chambers" at Auschwitz, Birkenau and
Majdanek, and on his years of
experience, he declared: "I have come to the conclusion that no one was
willfully or purposefully killed with
Zyklon B [hydrocyanic acid gas] in this manner. I consider it absolutely
impossible." (note 21)

Summary
The Auschwitz extermination story originated as wartime propaganda. Now,
more than 40 years after the end
of the Second World War, it is time to take another, more objective look
at this highly polemicized chapter of
history. The Auschwitz legend is the core of the Holocaust story. If
hundreds of thousands of Jews were not
systematically killed there, as alleged, one of the great myths of our
time collapses.
Artificially maintaining the hatreds and passions of the past prevents
genuine reconciliation and lasting peace.
Revisionism promotes historical awareness and international
understanding. That is why the work of the
Institute for Historical Review is so important and deserves your
support.
Mark Weber is editor of The Journal of Historical Review, published six
times yearly by the Institute for
Historical Review. He studied history at the University of Illinois
(Chicago), the University of Munich,
Portland State University, and Indiana University (M.A., 1977). For five
days in March 1988, he testified as
a recognized expert witness on the "final solution" and the Holocaust
issue in a Toronto District Court case.
He is the author of many published articles, reviews and essays on
various aspects of modern European
history. Weber has appeared as a guest on numerous radio talk shows, and
on the nationally-syndicated
"Montel Williams" television show.

Is the offer still open? Yes it is, but the requirements are strict.
(1) The drawings are to be snail-mailed to me at
Richard Phillips
55 Crystal Ave, #311
Derry, NH 03038
(2) The drawings are to be full-sized because a reduced-size
drawing would make it impossible to make out the logo of the
designing company.
(3) The drawings (in addition to being full-sized) must be
sufficiently clear so that I can make out the logo of the company that
built them and the signature of the approving engineer.
(4) The drawings must show me exactly how the structure was put
together. what sort of structural members were used? I-beams, angle
irons. Were they assembled by welding or riveting.
(5) I will need details of the gas-tight door. Was it built by that
company or was it a purchased part. What sort of sealing gasket was
used.
(6) I will need to know the specification and placement of all motors,
vans, ventilators, etc.
(7) I will need full electrical wiring diagrams including switch
boxes, fuses, circuit-breakers, emergency cutouts, etc. Did the facility
use electrical power already at the camp or did it
generate its own.
(8) I will need drawings showing exactly how the lethal agent was
introduced into the chamber.
(9) I will need to know whether assembly took place at the
company's or whether the facility ewas shipped in kit form and
assembled at the camp.
(10) I will also need to see a manual giving the following:
(a) Instructions for use. (This would include considerable
material on what we today would call 'crowd control.' After all,
people who know they are for the chop can get unpredictable.) These
instructions will also explain how to introduce the lethal agent, the
time needed for execution, time and procedure needed for defuming.
(b) Procedures for maintenance and troulbeshooting. This would have
to include a list of replacement parts.
If you have all of that, we can talk about it. Be assured that your
labour will be liberally reimbursed.

My demands now are exactly what they were at the beginning.
Simple comparison of the first two posts clearly shows that Philllips'
demands were anything but "what they were at the beginning". He has, of
course, gone on to post many more lies -- but this is the one that earned
him his nickname.
Liar Philllips is also lying when he claims that he "originally posed a
fairly formidable list of requirements" and later "backed off a bit". The
facts show that he did the exact opposite -- and then lied about making
any change at all.
I'll take 3 weeks.

Damn!
Steve
Are you being deliberately stupid? I am not saying that we assume in any way that the gas
chambers did not exist. I am saying, hypothetically, that if somehow the evidence of the
gas chambers themselves did not exist--and they do, at Majdanek for example--we still have
other evidence that corroborates the gassings. (Not to mention rifle executions by the EG,
deaths by typhus, Sondervans, etc.) The preponderance of evidence is so weighty that even
if the gas chambers were no longer extant, we would be able to prove that they had existed
and were used to slaughter Jews, Gypsies, and others.
Enough semantic gymnastics for you? Or are you going to play dumb again?

Not the ones I was thinking of. I was thinking of the piles and piles of dead bodies. The
starved inmates peering through barbed wire. The high-altitude "experiments." The photo of
bodies being dragged to the burning-pit. Photos of the EG assassinating helpless women.
The Nazi with his rifle raised and aimed at a woman sheltering her child. Slit trenches
with the naked dead within, surrounded by SS men. The truckload of skeletal dead with
grinning SS men nearby. Films of the dead being pushed into mass graves by bulldozer.
Films of inmates dragging the dead to burial pits.
Those photos. Stupid.

Now, Phillips, since we have defenestrated your attempt to render the topic uselessly
top-heavy, perhaps you will answer the obvious question: what proof do you have that
Rudolf Höss was coerced into his statement? (It was that last bit of logic that pissed you
off, wasn't it? The bit about how Höss was actually critical in his memoirs of the Allies.
That he still espoused Nazism in his final words. That put the lie to your "torture" claim
and brought your hapless attempt to cloud the issue, didn't it?)
Simple question, Phillips. All we ask is some proof.
==============================================================================
Phillips
No, for once I'm going to be smart because I've finally cottoned on to
what your latest racket is. You are, just a wee bit at a time, beginning
to distance yourselves from the gassing fantasy because you are coming
to realize --just a wee bit at a time-- that it's no longer tenable.
Well I'm not going to let you off the hook; we're going to get to the
bottom of this, once and for all. So, until the question is settled, we
are going to talk about gas chambers and nothing else.
THEREFORE: Please answer the question:Is it your contention that Jews
(and possibly others) were executed en masse in mass-execution gas
chambers designed for that purpose. Yes or no.
If your answer is yes, provide me with irrefutable proof of it.
If your answer is no, then the lot of you stand convicted of having been
the most colossal self-confessed liars who ever walked the earth.

Your recollection is faulty - the bulk of the work done at Belzec had
only begun a year and a half ago, and the report giving the details
that make it possible to estimate the total volume devoted to graves
was released about two months ago.
Imagine a hole dug into the ground the size of a football field, Mr.
Philllllips, and as a deep as a four-storey building is tall. Most of
it filled with the cremated remains of humans. Easily room for the
more than 500,000 estimated by other means to have been killed at
Belzec.
But of course you would call it a 'tangential issue'. Everything you
can't deal with is a 'tangent'. But your fun and games with my
surname is a real issue, right?

Phillips
(1) I was derided in certain quarters for having forgotten the exchange
entirely. As you now see, this was not so.
(2) I spoke of the matter as "tangential" because for me the big issue
at that time was my vain attempt to get convincing proofs of the gas
chambers.
(3) Your tune seems to have changed. Whereas now you are telling us that
there is good evidence of 500,000 people buried at Belzec, at that time
you were attempting to justify the embarrassing ABSENCE of verifiable
remains. Your position at that time was that the decades-long
interaction of the soil on corpses would make it impossible to establish
any figure with reliability. But then you people have always been
adaptible in matters of this sort.
(4) To the best of my recollection, the big exchange between you and
myself was over a year ago. If there was a much more recent one, then
produce the posts and I will admit my mistake.
(5) I have said many times; NEVER attempt to deprive the Jews of their
suffering. It's the most priceless possessien they have.

These figures have been provided to you again and again and again, and you

no memory of its previously being answered. What's wrong, developing

I do not deny they may have been posted but, if they were, I did not
take careful notice at the time. Do YOU have the ability to infallibly

Also, do not presume an ability to diagnose Alzheimer's. I have seen it.
It is much more than not remembering year-old statistics. It is a total
loss of hand/brain coordination. I know because my mother came down with
it in her final years.

You don't have to remember each and every fact and statistic to know that
they've been posted again and again in response to your constant demands
for "physical evidence." I don't claim to remember "each and every"
statistic and fact posted in response to your demands, but I remember that
they were posted on multiple occasions. Your failure to remember such
evidence time and time again simply demonstrates to me that you either
ignored it the first time around or you don't want to remember.

I'm sorry if I hit a sore spot and that your mother had such an awful
disease. Nonetheless, don't presume to lecture me on diagnosing
Alzheimer's either. I'm a physician, remember?

If I do not remember posted figures on non-gas-chamber deaths, it is

That, of course, is because Liar Philllips runs away from the evidence
when it is presented to him:
Oops! Sorry! But isn't it academic now?
Steve
No, what is in question is your credibility. After all, you are the man
who denies mountains of evidence about the Holocaust and yet professes a
belief in vampires, Jewish ritual murder and, saints preserve us, the
coming toilet paper shortage to be caused by Y2K. You must have done

I am unaware of any of my relations having changed their names, except

But perhaps you would care to articulate what the spelling of my

of mass graves.

Ah. Now I get it. You don't know the difference between Belzec and
Birkenau. Birkenau, also known as Auschwitz II and
Auschwitz-Birkenau, is not the same place as Belzec. The cremated
remains of those murdered at Birkenau were dumped in the Sola River
and in marshes, for the most part. There are no mass graves there.
There are 37,000 cubic metres of mass graves at Belzec. Plenty of
space to accommodate the 500,000+ estimated by other means to have
been exterminated there.

Belzec/Shmelzec. Look, lady, I have small patience with Jew-lawyer

Phillips, is, however, a card-carrying fathead. (Whatsa matta, Phillips, too
scared to go down to the local bar to look for a brawl--so you pick on a woman

Flush THAT.)
Given Ms. Finsten's profession, don't you mean "Jew-archaeologist games"? Can't
you even get THAT one right?
Besides, I find this hilarious. You make a stupid mistake--confusing Belsen with
Birkenau--and when a woman who knows more about the subject than you can
comprehend points out your error, it is a "Jew-lawyer game"! Problem is, your
pathetically wounded male wannabe-White Power Ranger ego can't stand that a young
Jewish woman pounded you over the net for an ace.
By the way, in the Mighty Whitey Cloud-Cuckoo Land you are proposing, will "I
don't know and do not give a damn" be considered reasonable support of one's
argument?

The 'disposition' of the corpses could not answer that question. But
the convergence of multiple lines of evidence does. Those lines of
evidence include the testimonies of the few surviving camp prisoners,
and of SS (German) and Ukrainian camp guards, German and Polish train
engineers and station personnel, and Polish villagers.
A conservative estimate of the number killed at Belzec is 530,000 -
based on the known number of transports and the average number of Jews
per transport. Note that this is a _conservative_ estimate.
There is no testimony whatsoever to indicate that _any_ of the people
shipped by train to Belzec in cattle cars ever left, Mr. Philllllips.
Would you like to attempt to explain a 100% mortality rate, using
disease and malnutrition as causes of death? And could you offer a
theory which, using _those_ causes of death, would shift
responsibility for those deaths from the shoulders of those who
ordered and facilitated their transport to Belzec?
>> Still no proofs of deaths by gassing. I know all about your

By your criteria of 'proof' there never could be. So you can keep
your head in the sand, or whatever other dark place you prefer, to
continue justifying your perverse prejudice and persistent and willful
ignorance. The exemplar denier - demand the one kind of proof that is
impossible, and ignore everything else.
37,000 cubic metres of mass graves, Mr. Phillllips. A football field
dug to a depth the same as the height of a four-storey building.
Filled with the cremated and decomposing corpses of those sent to
Belzec in cattle cars.

You're living in a fantasy land for liars, Phillips. I am not distancing myself from anything. I was, at
first, trying to reasonably state how the evidence, not only by preponderant weight but by
interconnectedness, would stand enough to prove that the gassings occurred even if certain parts of
evidence were, say, unavailable for review. You, on the other hand, having been unable to refute that
argument, are playing semantic tiddlywinks.
There is far more proof of the gas chambers than a two-bit Denier like you can dismiss.

I believe the proper answer is GFY, Phillips. You have seen irrefutable proof of it. It's been put out
here every day. You have the words of the Nazis; you have photos of extant gas chambers at Majdanek;
Nazi testimonies on how those chambers were used that corroborate the photos; and of course, piles of
the dead.All those photos of the hastily-charred skeletons at Majdanek, not fully cremated because there
were so many.
Problem is, you--like the other Deniers--live to pretend that the evidence just isn't good enough to
convince you. Makes ya feel good to be carrying on Hitler's torch sixty years late, huh? I guess the
sense of accomplishment you get from slandering the dead more than makes up what you have not been able
to accomplish in life.
Go to the Holocaust History Project site. Look up Dachau. There are 47 pictures and accompanying text
that cast a cold, clear light on your Denial.

The photo of bodies being dragged to the pit was taken clandestinely by, IIRC, a Sonderkommando with a

Nothing you can define though. Right? Why, nothing you can substantiate, nothing you can prove, but just
enough desire to exonerate the Nazis there for you to try to cast aspersions. Do you have anything to

Many of them. You know, Phillips, even if they ALL died of typhus, your beloved Nazis would still be
guilty of dumping healthy, innocent people into typhus-infested areas with no medical care, little food
or water, and primitive sanitation facilities. That's murder. If you knowingly put an organism into a
hostile environment where its chances of survival are minimal, and that organism dies, then you have
caused its death as surely as if you had smashed it to death with a hammer.
The KZs were the anvil, Phillips, and Nazis wielded the hammer.

You could maybe quote it? Some salient parts, you know, about the torture? Come on, Philllllips, let's

A red herring, indeed. You know, Laura Feinstein (sorry, Finsten) PhD,
given all the "red herrings" reported on this NG, I could open a stall
in Fanueil Hall in Boston.
OK now suppose you tell us, drawing upon the vast erudition implicit in
your PhD title, just exactly WHAT 50-years-buried corpses can tell us
about the cause of death. I assume you will give due account to the

In a manner that is hardly untypical of academics, you are attempting to
make a simple thing complicated. You people claim that x-million or
x-hundred thousand Jews were zapped in gas chambers. OK, you'll have to
prove it and the first step is to convince that there ever WERE
execution gas chambers operating at those centres allegedly set up for
the purpose. There is no way around it, so spare me any more bilge about
'convergence."

Translation: Liar Philllips does not, in fact, understand the difference
between Belzec and Birkenau, no more than he understands the significance
of the excavation at Belzec. Hence, the bluster and puffery of the
confused bigot, as seen above.
Richard always gets abusive when he has just had his ass kicked. That

If you can't be convinced that there is no such thing as a vampire, how
the hell could you be convinced that there were gas chambers? What the
hell makes you think that you're worth convincing? The only reason
people respond to you is to point you out for the silly old fool you
are. No one gives a tinker's damn what you think and what you say. The
most significant thing about you is that you are stealing air from the
rest of us. Your only redeeming value is that you are good for a laugh
now and then when you get tangled up in one of your lies.

Of course -- when the evidence points to the historical truth, and Liar
Philllips prefers to believe that the truth is otherwise, he simply
ignores the evidence. What could be simpler for a simple-minded bigot?

Can't be done. Every time someone tries, you change your demands for
evidence -- and lie about having done so. Would you like to see the
documentation on that again, Liar?
No good. I am not buying any bilge about "convergence" and I'm not
buying any bilge about "preponderant weight" and I'm not buying any
bilge about "interconnectedness." I want hard physical evidence of the
existence and operation of gas chambers. This must take the form of (a)
detailed construction drawings, (b) manual for operation and
maintenance, (c) a report by reputable scientists of the modus operandi.

If they died of typhus then they did not die of gassing - correct? Let

The KZs were concentration camps. Although immediately after the war

Why is it "consistent" with documents and memoirs of the Nazis
themselves. In just what way does it support the notion of deaths by
deliberate mass execution?
===============================================================

I'll choose my own weapons, thank you. A blunderbus kills just as

"Many years after the war, British military intelligence sergeant
Bernard Clarke described how he and
five other British soldiers tortured the former commandant to obtain his
"confession." Höss himself
privately explained his ordeal in these words: "Certainly, I signed a
statement that I killed two and half
million Jews. I could just as well have said that it was five million
Jews. There are certain methods by
which any confession can be obtained, whether it is true or not." (note

Actually, he's rather funny/absurd. What, after all, is a
'card-carrying Feinstein'??? The irony is that there are a number of
publications in which my name is misspelled as 'Feinstein' in
biographic references - most embarrassingly, two of which I am
co-author. The co-author who took responsibility to proofread the
galleys didn't think to carefully check the spelling of _our_ names in
the references cited.
And a colleague whose office in the department is right across the
hall from me sent me a letter in another of my official capacities
last week in which he addressed me as 'Dr. Finstein'!
My name gets mangled so frequently (you oughta hear the
pronunciations!) that I've given serious thought to changing its
spelling legally, just to reduce the number of gaffes. And maybe make
it easier to pronounce.
Trouble is, I can't decide whether to go with 'Feinstein' or
'Finstein'. Maybe I could sidestep the dilemma by opting for
'Finkelstein', which has a nicer translation anyway.

Even then he wouldn't be right, since I'm not Jewish. Although maybe
it is arguing from evidence that would make it "Jew-archaeology". But
look on the bright side, Dep. He called me 'lady', rather than say
'fuck you'.
The really interesting thing here, though, is that he accepts the
substance of the information I posted about forensic anthropology
(that was begun about two years ago, actually, for Anthony 'lab rat'
Sabatini's benefit). But now he takes it out of context - and ignores
the essential piece of evidence present at Belzec but missing from
Birkenau - the volume of mass graves. These deniers pick and choose
when it suits their agenda, no doubt about it.

I'm definitely a woman, and not Jewish. Whether I still qualify as
young very much depends on one's relative chronological position.
But he doesn't like being shown to be wrong on something he can't
bluster and wiggle his way out of. Deniers never do. He he walked
right into that one.

I'm not weeping and wailing, Mr. Philllllips. From the comfort of my
home in the year 1999, it is disconcertingly easy to distance myself
from the tangible horror of so many dead, so many lives destroyed by
the minions of political masters who deemed them subhuman and unworthy
of life - although it isn't at all easy when you hold in your hand a
fragment of the skull of child who died in a place the Nazis built for
the sole purpose of eradicating the Jews from Europe.
Do you find it easy to stick your head in the sand, or wherever that
dark place is where you hide from reality, and pretend that more than
half a million people sent to Belzec in less than a year all died
"innocently" of malnutrition and disease?
Or do you actually believe the lies you peddle?

Look at that. I darned near predicted that you would resort to
profanity in my last post on this.
You don't understand what revisionism is, do you, Mr. Philllllips.
That's the _real_ variety. Not the crud you peddle that you dignify
with the name "revisionism".
Take the _existing_ evidence - adopt your unsupported assumption that
the causes of death were malnutrition and disease - set aside for
argument's sake the evidence that the cause of death in most cases was
gassing, and shooting in some others - and offer an _alternative_
_explanation_ that accounts for all the facts.
That's revisionism, Mr. Philllllips.
And I'll summarise the salient facts for you, to help you get started
on your demonstration that you aren't simply another hack denier -
(1) 37,000 cubic metres of mass graves
(2) a conservatively estimated death toll of 530,000
(3) evidence that 530,000 Jews were transported to Belzec in cattle
cars during the period March 1942 and November 1942
(4) evidence that none but a handful of those Jews ever left Belzec.

I accept the eyewitness testimony of the existence of gas chambers at
Belzec. Why don't you get off your haemorrhoids and suggest an
alternate explanation that accounts for the accumulation of more than
half a million corpses in less than a year in _one_ camp built by the
Nazis.

Those 37,000 cubic metres aren't the hell of life - they are the

But that won't work, Liar. You'll change your demands. That's what you've

Do you, now? It seems that in the course of your no doubt thorough
research into these matters you have never come across the fact that
three scientists with impeccable credentials each independently examined
your so-called 'gas chambers' and each one reported that they could not
possibly have been used for the purpose claimed for them. The three men
are: the American Lindsay, the German Rudolph, and the Austrian Luftl.
And you try to tell me that all that is set at naught by your

It is not incumbent on me to provide an explanation of that or of
anything. The position is this: The holocaustniks claim Jews were zapped
in mass execution gas chambers (the number shrinks a bit every year). I

It matters very much. True, these people were in German custody and,
also true, they were there involuntarily. Therefore, to some degree, the
camp authorities and their superiors must bear a certain responsibility
for their fates.
However, I submit there is an enormous difference between their having
died due to a deliberate policy of industrialized murder and their
having died due to disease and malnutrition both of which arose from
factors outside of German control; especially so when the camp
authorities (under peremptory orders from their superiors) did
everything they could to REDUCE the death rates. That is why clothing
was regularly fumigated, to get rid of the lice.

Believe it or not, I can guess, and that's just based on all the trouble I have with
only having one "t" in Scot. (What's fun is watching civil servant types, after they
finally understand the one-"t" concept, spell out my last name for me painstakingly.
No, no, that one's normal.)

Acchhh, so that was twice I misrepresented you. (Not on the youth part, I maintain.)

He doesn't believe them. He knows better. Just like most of them. (Though he's stuck
to his 4-Jewish-grandparent story so long, I wonder if he believes it.)

Well. First off--and you must not have been paying attention when I was dragging Bellinger around on
this--there's the presence of iron blues. Prussian blue, if I have it right. That is, the conditions at
Majdanek were such that the cyanide oxidized and bonded to the wall of the chamber.
In the chamber wall there is a tube.It leads to the outside. Testimonies from Majdanek speak of the Zyklon-B
being introduced to the chamber through such a tube.
There is a vent with an iron grid over it in the floor, where plans have said it would be. It's a large vent.
The grid is to keep people from clogging it.
The patterns of wear on the floor are fascinating. There is distinctly more wear *away* from the Zyklon
introduction tube, as would happen when the victims realized the proximity of the poison.
Then there were all those dead bodies.Sorry we weren't able to autopsy them for you, Phillips. But even if a
thousands died of typhus alone rather than Zyklon-B, in what way would that NOT be murder? The Nazis were
shoving huge amounts of healthy, innocent people into unsafe, unclean, unsanitary, already-crowded,
lice-infested and therefore typhus-infested camps, without food or water or basic medical care. In what way
is that not murder, Phillllips?

Hmmm. Because they were true? Because they thought the "Nuremberg defense" ("I vuz only followink orders")
might get them sprung? Because they knew the evidence was so overwhelming that denial never came up as an
option for them? All of the above? (YES.)

That's right. It's the other evidence--tesimonial, physical, documentary--that tells us how they died. The

You could see the pictures of an actual Dachau gas chamber. It includes a Zyklon introduction mechanism for
which a contemporaneous design exists--it's reproduced in Dwork and Van Pelt's "Auschwitz: 1270 to the
Present." There are pictures of "showerheads" with no sign of ever having been used. There is enough to
establish that a gas chamber existed at Dachau, that it was very likely a homicidal gas chamber, and there
are plenty of dead bodies, as always, to testify to that.

"It doesn't look right" is hardly proof. It's just another Phillllips smear. Maybe that was his only clean

No, let us NOT. In what way is it NOT murder, Philllips, to take a healthy and innocent human being and
imprison them in a lice-and-typhus-infested, unsanitary environment with little food or water, no medical
care, primitive toilets, and no change of clothing--and no washing for the clothing they had? In what way is
it NOT murder to jam thousands of people into such a festering hellhole with no attempt to alleviate the
conditions?

Because Nazi testimony has said, in effect, "We murdered lots of people." Testimony has said, in effect, "We
burned up lots of people and dumped them in a grave." (There are variations on that at various camps;
testimony that victims were placed into graves in a particular fashion--arranged in rows, for instance,
youngest first--later backed up by finding remains in those graves in the same fashion as the testimony. Are
you following this?) Then there are excavations, such as Belzec, which have graves full of remains in volume
enough to handle hundreds of thousands of people.
Nazi testimony said they did it; survivor testimony says Nazis did it; existing physical evidence matches
those testimonies. (And documents, don't forget.) Clear enough?

A quote from Mark Weber is hardly proof. Then again, we know the standard of proof for Phillllips:

Well, I did find this exchange yesterday, which was a hoot in and of itself:

Convince me there is no such thing as a vampire."
That's right up there with Booger's Bible codes, ya know? Whatta yutz!

Perhaps you could tell us what difference the cause of death makes when
you have a mass grave with dimensions that easily hold 500,000 burned
corpses? How do you suppose 500,000 people were killed and burned and
buried in that immense pit, and all this in about a year?

Your usual "intellectual" response when the falseness of your "argument"

Nice evasion Phillips. How do you suppose those 500,000 remains got
into a mass grave in a place called Belzec?

Who cares? There were 500,000 people killed there.

How do *you* suppose they died? 500,000 people at Belzec.

Died, not necessarily killed. i'm afraid we have to leave it that way
because Laura Finsten, PhD,
notwithstanding her outraged academic ego, has failed to show us
anything more.
===================================================================================
WHAT has been supplied? The things i have asked for? If they have,
kindly dig up the posts. And, please, no more childrens' websites.

Once again: how do we know they are execution gas chambers? And, please:
no more 60 IQ inanities masquerading as wisecracks.

I haven't a clue. I've already said it several times. You people claim
Jews were gassed in large numbers. I'm doing nothing but sitting here
and challenging you to prove it. There's no way around it.

"slandering the dead" Christ-on-a-crutch. If your object is to make
throw up all over my brand-new keyboard, you're going about it the right
way.

Research is only a means TO a goal; it is not a goal in its own right.
It requires an expenditure of time and energy - both of which resources
are necessarily limited and both of which might be used for a more
profitable endeavour. That is why we do not make research grants to
count the number of telegraph poles in Fayette County, Alabama.

Yes -- how dare anyone try to distract Liar Philllips from his holy quest

Yes, everyone, please review the latest tactic from Liar Philllips: when
reminded that the evidence he seeks has, in fact, been presented, play the
Senility Gambit and claim forgetfulness.
