Holocaust Denier Given Five-Year Prison Term by German Court
By Patrick Donahue
Feb. 15 (Bloomberg) -- A German court sentenced Ernst Zuendel, a
Holocaust denier whose publications have included ``The Hitler We
Loved and Why,'' to five years in prison for incitement of racial
hatred.
Today's sentence, the maximum allowed under German law, follows the 67-
year-old's conviction by a regional court in the southern city of
Mannheim on 14 counts of incitement, court spokeswoman Bettina Krenz
said in a phone interview. One of the charges involved offense and
slander to the memory of the dead.
The conviction was a success for authorities who sought to prosecute
people who post denials of the Holocaust on Internet sites available
in Germany. It is a crime in Germany to deny the Nazi regime's killing
of 6 million Jews.
The trial was delayed in November 2005 after the judge dismissed part
of Zuendel's defense team. Zuendel, a German citizen, was extradited
from Canada two years ago. In a statement to the court today, he
called for an independent commission to be set up to establish the
number of Jews killed by the Nazis, Agence France-Presse reported.
Born in Germany's Black Forest region, Zuendel left the country as a
19-year-old to avoid the draft. He spent the next two decades in
Canada, where he began publishing neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic literature
through his Samisdat Publishers Ltd., according to the U.S. Anti-
Defamation League's Web site.
Initially publishing under the pseudonym Christof Friedrich, Zuendel
began writing under his own name in 1978 when his identity was
discovered. Samisdat published Holocaust-denial works such as Arthur
Butz's ``The Hoax of the Twentieth Century,'' and Austin App's ``The
Six Million Swindle.''
UFO Theory
Zuendel's own writings have ranged from neo-Nazi and white- supremacy
tracts to a theory that the Nazis had developed a fleet of UFOs and
concealed them in Antarctica, according to the Anti- Defamation
League. An international conference for Holocaust deniers was held in
his honor in Sacramento, California, in 2004.
For over a decade, Zuendel has become a primary contributor to one of
the main Holocaust-denial Web sites, Zundelsite.org, Krenz said.
Krenz said that Zuendel had moved to the U.S. state of Tennessee with
his wife in 2001, only to be arrested by immigration authorities and
extradited to Canada two years later. The Canadian authorities, who
had long wanted to prosecute Zuendel, in turn submitted him to their
German counterparts in 2005.

Shame on Germany for incarcerating such an old kook, who is at the end
of his life anyway and five years is much too long for such an old
person. This is a black eye for German democracy. The Anti-
Defamation League should recognize this and simply ignore the old
fart.
RL
Zuendel will be out of the clinker as soon as he coughs a couple
of times and complains about his health and treatment. The Gerrys
are keenly aware and careful to see that this event will not
ricochet and foster more new Anti-Semitism.
So, the issue is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Jews, of course, do have to carry their enormous stereotype baggage
of/as being extremely hateful and vengeful... especially when it serves
them to make money off/with it.
So, OTOH, the Germans are using Zuendel as the fallboy to counter
ongoing efforts by the holocaust industry who tries to squeeze ever
more reparations out of the Germans.
Oddly enough not very many of these machinations come out of Israel.
It comes mostly from American Jews, (agitators and instigators like
the Wolfowitz, Perle, Wurmser types who goaded Bush to go into Iraq),
(or) the ilk that runs the holocaust industry & builds Tolerance Museums
... with US taxpayer money.. to get money & tolerance for Jewish
behavior.... ... ahahaha... Not bad a gig... ahahaha... ahahaha...
What I cannot understand about the Jewish question is why so many
Jews are working so very, very hard to turn Hitler's Last Curse into
becoming a self-filling prophesy which Hitler broadcast just before
his demise in 45, in which he said:
**** "in a 100 years from now the world will be grateful
for what I have started".**** ... 62 down, 38 to go...
Well, I didn't make this world. I only have to dance in it.
ahahahaha... ahahahanson
Dance little monkey, dance, to the organ grinder's tune.
ahahahaha... actually, that's a pretty good come back, you old Nazi.
So, listen up, Grandpa, if you were as witty, like here, also in your
hysterically ridiculous, UNSUCCESSFUL pursuits of trying to sell
your "Palaces for the People" or your "Solar Cells" or your "Hydrogen",
then you would not have to remain on welfare and needing to advertise:
:K:: "I cherish my anonymity... living in that basement in a secure,
:K:: undisclosed Location... as Lion Kuntz , Retired with walker, in
:K:: Santa Rosa, Sonoma Co., California, USA ",...
Now, while I have you "Awe Shit" at heel and in attention, explain
why your now often expressed phrase that I have put into your head
:K:: " .... it's about wealth-shifting: Exxon shifts YOUR Wealth to Exxon,
:K:: Yes, we got it!" [B]
came necessarily out of the elementary fact that [A]
**"Environmentalism "makes the Rich richer and the Poor poorer!"**
Don't say "Awe Shit" now, but first grind your organ & stretch your
sphincter ... ahahaha... and then when you are relaxed and able
to think more or less straight do tell how that seemingly tragic fact
of this connection from [A] to [B] has arisen in your tormented mind.
Take care Lion,
hanson

If putting people in prison for writing books, torturing prisoners,
uprooting people and expelling from their homes because of their ethnicity
and waging wars of aggression are all OK, what's wrong with Nazis? That
is, beside the fact that they lost the war.

Just a historian trying to expose the truth about an incredible

Refute this? Instead of refuting the evidence they are constantly trying to

What we do know for sure is that the zionists thought it was all a hell of a
good idea for recruiting cannon fodder for Palestine/israel.
No Evidence Of Genocide
One of the most important aspects of the Red Cross Report is that it
clarifies the true cause of those deaths that undoubtedly occurred in
the camps toward the end of the war. Says the Report: "In the chaotic
condition of Germany after the invasion during the final months of the
war, the camps received no food supplies at all and starvation claimed
an increasing number of victims. Itself alarmed by this situation, the
German Government at last informed the ICRC on February 1st, 1945 ...
In March 1945, discussions between the President of the ICRC and
General of the S.S. Kaltenbrunner gave even more decisive results.
Relief could henceforth be distributed by the ICRC, and one delegate
was authorised to stay in each camp ..." (Vol. III, p. 83).
Clearly, the German authorities were at pains to relieve the dire
situation as far as they were able. The Red Cross are quite explicit
in stating that food supplies ceased at this time due to the Allied
bombing of German transportation, and in the interests of interned
Jews they had protested on March 15th, 1944 against "the barbarous
aerial warfare of the Allies" (Inter Arma Caritas, p. 78). By October
2nd, 1944, the ICRC warned the German Foreign Office of the impending
collapse of the German transportation system, declaring that
starvation conditions for people throughout Germany were becoming
inevitable.
In dealing with this comprehensive, three-volume Report, it is
important to stress that the delegates of the International Red Cross
found no evidence whatever at the camps in Axis occupied Europe of a
deliberate policy to exterminate the Jews. In all its 1,600 pages the
Report does not even mention such a thing as a gas chamber. It admits
that Jews, like many other wartime nationalities, suffered rigours and
privations, but its complete silence on the subject of planned
extermination is ample refutation of the Six Million legend. Like the
Vatican representatives with whom they worked, the Red Cross found
itself unable to indulge in the irresponsible charges of genocide
which had become the order of the day. So far as the genuine mortality
rate is concerned, the Report points out that most of the Jewish
doctors from the camps were being used to combat typhus on the eastern
front, so that they were unavailable when the typhus epidemics of 1945
broke out in the camps (Vol. I, p. 204 ff) - Incidentally, it is
frequently claimed that mass executions were carried out in gas
chambers cunningly disguised as shower facilities. Again the Report
makes nonsense of this allegation. "Not only the washing places, but
installations for baths, showers and laundry were inspected by the
delegates. They had often to take action to have fixtures made less
primitive, and to get them repaired or enlarged" (Vol. III, p. 594).
Not All Were Interned
Volume III of the Red Cross Report, Chapter 3 (I. Jewish Civilian
Population) deals with the "aid given to the Jewish section of the
free population," and this chapter makes it quite plain that by no
means all of the European Jews were placed in internment camps, but
remained, subject to certain restrictions, as part of the free
civilian population. This conflicts directly with the "thoroughness"
of the supposed "extermination programme", and with the claim in the
forged Höss memoirs that Eichmann was obsessed with seizing "every
single Jew he could lay his hands on."
In Slovakia, for example, where Eichmann's assistant Dieter Wisliceny
was in charge, the Report states that "A large proportion of the
Jewish minority had permission to stay in the country, and at certain
periods Slovakia was looked upon as a comparative haven of refuge for
Jews, especially for those coming from Poland. Those who remained in
Slovakia seem to have been in comparative safety until the end of
August 1944, when a rising against the German forces took place. While
it is true that the law of May 15th, 1942 had brought about the
internment of several thousand Jews, these people were held in camps
where the conditions of food and lodging were tolerable, and where the
internees were allowed to do paid work on terms almost equal to those
of the free labour market" (Vol. I, p. 646).
Not only did large numbers of the three million or so European Jews
avoid internment altogether, but the emigration of Jews continued
throughout the war, generally by way of Hungary, Rumania and Turkey.
Ironically, post-war Jewish emigration from German-occupied
territories was also facilitated by the Reich, as in the case of the
Polish Jews who had escaped to France before its occupation. "The Jews
from Poland who, whilst in France, had obtained entrance permits to
the United States were held to be American citizens by the German
occupying authorities, who further agreed to recognize the validity of
about three thousand passports issued to Jews by the consulates of
South American countries" (Vol. I, p. 645).
As future U.S. citizens, these Jews were held at the Vittel camp in
southern France for American aliens. The emigration of European Jews
from Hungary in particular proceeded during the war unhindered by the
German authorities. "Until March 1944," says the. Red Cross Report,
"Jews who had the privilege of visas for Palestine were free to leave
Hungary" (Vol. I, p. 648). Even after the replacement of the Horthy
Government in 1944 (following its attempted armistice with the Soviet
Union) with a government more dependent on German authority, the
emigration of Jews continued.
The Committee secured the pledges of both Britain and the United
States "to give support by every means to the emigration of Jews from
Hungary," and from the U.S. Government the ICRC received a message
stating that "The Government of the United States ... now specifically
repeats its assurance that arrangements will be made by it for the
care of all Jews who in the present circumstances are allowed to
leave" (Vol. I, p . 649).
Casualties in WW2
Not including the documented 5 million non Jewish in concentration camps
who far out numbered the suspected true number of Jewish victims. And this
is without lies and exaggerations about non jewish cassualities. And freedom
for any historian or amateur history buff to examine and point out flaws
without fear of castigation or jail terms.
And no one is going around asking for special favors and sympathy because of
these immense casualities. And certainly don't look like getting anything
from jewish interests who by lies have swollen their numbers to higher than
these.

primordial in their eyes."

raeli-politics/part3.htm
"The masses of Jews from Hungary's ghettos obediently boarded the
deportation trains without knowing their fate. They were full of
confidence in the false information that they were being transferred to
Kenyermeze.
The Nazis could not have misled the masses of Jews so conclusively had
they not spread their false information through Jewish channels.
The Jews of the ghettos would not have trusted the Nazi or Hungarian
rulers. But they had trust in their Jewish leaders. Eichmann and others
used this known fact as part of their calculated plan to mislead the Jews.
They were able to deport the Jews to their extermination by the help of
Jewish leaders.
The false information was spread by the Jewish leaders. The local leaders
of the Jews of Kluj and Nodvarod knew that other leaders were spreading
such false information and did not protest.
Those of the Jews who tried to warn their friends of the truth were
persecuted by the Jewish leaders in charge of the local 'rescue work'.
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. [15]
Inmates Released
More than 200,000 prisoners were transferred from Auschwitz to other camps,
and about 8,000 were in the camp when it was liberated by Soviet forces. In
addition, about 1,500 prisoners who had served their sentences were
released, and returned to their home countries. [16] If Auschwitz had
actually been a top secret extermination center, would the Germans have
released inmates who "knew" what was happening there?
Himmler Orders Death Rate Reduced
The truth is that somewhere between 700,000 and 1,500,000 people died in
German work camps in 1944 and 1945. Most of them were Jews. Many were not.
Most of them died in the last six months of the war from disease and hunger
caused by America's bombing of Germany and subsequent destruction of her
infrastructure. There were some atrocities but very few. Few people realize
that
the International Red Cross had a field office in Auschwiz from 1942 until
the end of the war.
That office never reported or recorded any atrocities (Several years ago
international Jewry forced the Red Cross to apologize to the Jews -
apologize for not seeing something that never happened.)
Clearly, the German authorities were at pains to relieve the dire situation
as far as they were able. The Red Cross are quite explicit in stating that
food supplies ceased at this time due to the Allied bombing of German
transportation, and in the interests of interned Jews they had protested on
March 15th, 1944 against "the barbarous aerial warfare of the Allies" (Inter
Arma Caritas, p. 78). By October 2nd, 1944, the ICRC warned the German
Foreign Office of the impending collapse of the German transportation
system, declaring that starvation conditions for people throughout Germany
were becoming inevitable.
Read the Red Cross reports. Go to the Red Cross museum, headquarters
in your city and pick up the records. Anyway theres a few independent
witnesses.

I, Raquel Baranow am a Grad Student of Holocaust Denial. There are persons
with PhD's in various fields who
also deny the 6 million canard. The best evidence is forensic. Until
recently, there was never a forensic
examination of the alleged murder weapon (gas chambers). Demographic figures
are incomplete. After the fall
of East Europe to communism, many of the millions of Jews who fled Poland
into the Soviet Union or ended up
behind the Iron Curtain changed their names to assimilate, many civilians
died in the war, many died in the
concentration camps of louse-born typhus. During World War One, two million
civilians in the Soviet Union died
of typhus. Many died in Stalin's gulags.

It is forensically impractical or impossible to exterminate millions with
louse disinfestant (hydrogen cyanide gas)
or diesel exhaust as alleged by malicious "witnesses" or tortured
confessors. There are no written orders for
extermination. Aerial reconnaissance photographs of the concentration camps
show no smoke and flames
belching from the crematoria and pyres as alleged. The photos and records
show there was not enough coke or
crematoria to cremate millions of corpses. The "witnesses" and confessors
lied about how many minutes it takes
to cremate a corpse. Diesel exhaust does not contain significant amount of
carbon monoxide to kill a human. If
the Nazis wanted to kill millions they could have driven the coal fired
train into a tunnel or quonset hut and gassed
'em with the exhaust from the locomotive or used the exhaust from the
crematoria. At Auschwitz, during a typhus
epidemic, up to 300 people died per day, hence the crematoria, shaving of
heads and requisitions for tons of
Zyklon B louse disinfestant. HCN is a very dangerous, impractical, messy
method for extermination.

The Holocaust Controversy A Case for open Debate
The Gas Chambers are a fraud, a tourist attraction, slander, demonizing,
impractical/impossible, malicious
atrocity propaganda spread by the communists, who hated Hitler and
perpetrated by Jews, who were always
looking for ways to get to the lands of milk and money. The Jews have
extorted billions from the US Treasury,
Germany, Swiss banks and insurance companies on account of the Holohoax
fraud. The Holohoax also makes
those who fought Hitler feel like they did something good fighting the
demon, Hitler instead of letting Hitler take
on Stalin alone.
A "liberal" person has an open mind. A bigot is irrational and obstinate.
Franciszek Piper, director of the historical committee of the
Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, said yesterday that, according to recent
research, at least 1.3 million people were deported to the camp, of whom
about 223,000 survived.
The 1.1 million victims included 960,000 Jews, between 70,000 and 75,000
Poles, nearly all of the 23,000 Gypsies sent to the camp and 15,000
Soviet prisoners of war.<<
Official Auschwitz figures!

Some indeed died by disease, old age and accidents of war.
Most did at the end of war, thanks to the Allie efficient bombing of
railroad transportation.
But at
least half..at the least, died by the hands of the Turd Reich.
Not true! Jews were put to labor camps, for security reason and later to
move them to Palestine or Madagascar.
Same reason as the US forced some 150,000 Jap-Americans and Germans into
camps.
It
makes no difference if they were machinegunned into mass graves by the
Einsatzgruppen, or the aroma of Zyklon B,
Zyklon-B was a disinfectants, to delouse housing, personal belongings of
inmates.
It was used for to save lives not kill. After the war propaganda lies
changed that.
The Wiesenthal Record
While it is gratifying to note that, in his recent "Revisionist" letter,
Wiesenthal implicitly "denies history" as "established" by the Nuremberg
Tribunal, it must be pointed out that nearly everything else he says is
untrue.
There is not a shred of evidence, for example, that "a gas chamber was
in the process of being built at Dachau, but it was never completed."
(See "The Second Leuchter Report" by American gas chamber expert Fred
Leuchter in The Journal of Historical Review, Fall 1990.) There is
likewise no proof that "mentally and physically handicapped people were
killed" by gas at any of the four "institutions" Wiesenthal mentions.
This US Army photo was taken at Dachau on April 30, 1945, one day after
the camp's capture. It shows a GI standing in front of a door marked
with a skull and crossbones and the words "Caution! Gas! Life danger! Do
not open!" According to the official caption, "these chambers were used
by Nazi guards for killing prisoners of the infamous Dachau
concentration camp." In fact, this is a small disinfection gas chamber
used for delousing clothes. It was never used to kill people. For
several decades, this photo has been widely reproduced to help keep
alive the notorious Dachau "gas chamber" myth. (US Army photo SC 206194.)
Actually -- and contrary to his highly flattering public image -- the
renowned "Nazi hunter" has a well-documented but little-known record of
deceit, mendacity and prevarication. Some highlights:
Wiesenthal repeatedly lied about his alleged role in locating Adolf
Eichmann, was consistently wrong about Josef Mengele, and falsely
accused Polish-American Frank Walus of having murdered Jews in Poland as
a Gestapo official. Wiesenthal has absurdly charged that the Germans
exterminated Jews in "electrocution chambers," and that they
manufactured bars of soap from the bodies of murdered Jews. His
deception about his own wartime activities prompted Austrian Chancellor
Bruno Kreisky (himself of Jewish ancestry) to accuse the "Nazi hunter"
of having collaborated with his wartime oppressors. (For details about
Wiesenthal's record, see: M. Weber, "Simon Wiesenthal: Bogus Nazi
Hunter," The Journal of Historical Review, Winter 1989-90.)
THE CANADIAN JEWISH NEWS, Jan. 30, 1992
Wannsee's importance rejected
London (JTA) - An Israeli Holocaust scholar has debunked the Wannsee
Conference, at which top Nazi officials are said to have gathered at a
villa in a Berlin suburb in 1942 to draw the blueprints of the "Final
Solution."
According to Prof. Yehuda Bauer (photo) of the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, Wannsee was a meeting, "but hardly a conference", and
"little of what was said there was executed in detail."
"The public still repeats, time after time, the silly story that at
Wannsee the extermination of the Jews was arrived at."
"I have never held myself out to be a Holocaust expert, nor
have I written books about what is now called the Holocaust."
"I have done my best to prepare the case that follows, but
I respectfully submit that I do not have any duty to become an
expert on the Holocaust, my Lord."
"I have never claimed to be a Holocaust historian. As I have
said, I have no written no book about the Holocaust. I have written
no article about it. If I have spoken about it, it is usually
because somebody has asked me a question, I have been questioned
about it. On such occasions I have emphasised my lack of expertise
and I have expatiated only upon those areas with which I am familiar."
The Jews And The Concentration Camps:
A Factual Appraisal By The Red Cross.
There is one survey of the Jewish question in Europe during World War
Two and the conditions of Germany's concentration camps which is
almost unique in its honesty and objectivity, the three-volume Report
of the International Committee of the Red Cross on its Activities
during the Second World War, Geneva, 1948.
This comprehensive account from an entirely neutral source
incorporated and expanded the findings of two previous works:
Documents sur l'activité du CICR en faveur des civils détenus dans les
camps de concentration en Allemagne 1939-1945 (Geneva, 1946), and
Inter Arma Caritas: the Work of the ICRC during the Second World War
(Geneva, 1947). The team of authors, headed by Frédéric Siordet,
explained in the opening pages of the Report that their object, in the
tradition of the Red Cross, had been strict political neutrality, and
herein lies its great value.
The ICRC successfully applied the 1929 Geneva military convention in
order to gain access to civilian internees held in Central and Western
Europe by the Germany authorities. By contrast, the ICRC was unable to
gain any access to the Soviet Union, which had failed to ratify the
Convention. The millions of civilian and military internees held in
the USSR, whose conditions were known to be by far the worst, were
completely cut off from any international contact or supervision.
The Red Cross Report is of value in that it first clarifies the
legitimate circumstances under which Jews were detained in
concentration camps, i.e. as enemy aliens. In describing the two
categories of civilian internees, the Report distinguishes the second
type as "Civilians deported on administrative grounds (in German,
"Schutzhäftlinge"), who were arrested for political or racial motives
because their presence was considered a danger to the State or the
occupation forces" (Vol. 111, p. 73). These persons, it continues,
"were placed on the same footing as persons arrested or imprisoned
under common law for security reasons." (P.74).
The Report admits that the Germans were at first reluctant to permit
supervision by the Red Cross of people detained on grounds relating to
security, but by the latter part of 1942, the ICRC obtained important
concessions from Germany. They were permitted to distribute food
parcels to major concentration camps in Germany from August 1942, and
"from February 1943 onwards this concession was extended to all other
camps and prisons" (Vol. 111, p. 78). The ICRC soon established
contact with camp commandants and launched a food relief programme
which continued to function until the last months of 1945, letters of
thanks for which came pouring in from Jewish internees.
Red Cross Recipients Were Jews
The Report states that "As many as 9,000 parcels were packed daily.
From the autumn of 1943 until May 1945, about 1,112,000 parcels with a
total weight of 4,500 tons were sent off to the concentration camps"
(Vol. III, p. 80). In addition to food, these contained clothing and
pharmaceutical supplies. "Parcels were sent to Dachau, Buchenwald,
Sangerhausen, Sachsenhausen, Oranienburg, Flossenburg,
Landsberg-am-Lech, Flöha, Ravensbrück, Hamburg-Neuengamme, Mauthausen,
Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, to camps near Vienna and in
Central and Southern Germany. The principal recipients were Belgians,
Dutch, French, Greeks, Italians, Norwegians, Poles and stateless Jews"
(Vol. III, p. 83).
In the course of the war, "The Committee was in a position to transfer
and distribute in the form of relief supplies over twenty million
Swiss francs collected by Jewish welfare organisations throughout the
world, in particular by the American Joint Distribution Committee of
New York" (Vol. I, p. 644). This latter organisation was permitted by
the German Government to maintain offices in Berlin until the American
entry into the war. The ICRC complained that obstruction of their vast
relief operation for Jewish internees came not from the Germans but
from the tight Allied blockade of Europe. Most of their purchases of
relief food were made in Rumania, Hungary and Slovakia.
The ICRC had special praise for the liberal conditions which prevailed
at Theresienstadt up to the time of their last visits there in April
1945. This camp, "where there were about 40,000 Jews deported from
various countries was a relatively privileged ghetto" (Vol. III, p.
75). According to the Report, "'The Committee's delegates were able to
visit the camp at Theresienstadt (Terezin) which was used exclusively
for Jews and was governed by special conditions. From information
gathered by the Committee, this camp had been started as an experiment
by certain leaders of the Reich ... These men wished to give the Jews
the means of setting up a communal life in a town under their own
administration and possessing almost complete autonomy. . . two
delegates were able to visit the camp on April 6th, 1945. They
confirmed the favourable impression gained on the first visit" (Vol.
I, p . 642).
The ICRC also had praise for the regime of Ion Antonescu of Fascist
Rumania where the Committee was able to extend special relief to
183,000 Rumanian Jews until the time of the Soviet occupation. The aid
then ceased, and the ICRC complained bitterly that it never succeeded
"in sending anything whatsoever to Russia" (Vol. II, p. 62). The same
situation applied to many of the German camps after their "liberation"
by the Russians. The ICRC received a voluminous flow of mail from
Auschwitz until the period of the Soviet occupation, when many of the
internees were evacuated westward. But the efforts of the Red Cross to
send relief to internees remaining at Auschwitz under Soviet control
were futile. However, food parcels continued to be sent to former
Auschwitz inmates transferred west to such camps as Buchenwald and
Oranienburg.
No Evidence Of Genocide
One of the most important aspects of the Red Cross Report is that it
clarifies the true cause of those deaths that undoubtedly occurred in
the camps toward the end of the war. Says the Report: "In the chaotic
condition of Germany after the invasion during the final months of the
war, the camps received no food supplies at all and starvation claimed
an increasing number of victims. Itself alarmed by this situation, the
German Government at last informed the ICRC on February 1st, 1945 ...
In March 1945, discussions between the President of the ICRC and
General of the S.S. Kaltenbrunner gave even more decisive results.
Relief could henceforth be distributed by the ICRC, and one delegate
was authorised to stay in each camp ..." (Vol. III, p. 83).
Clearly, the German authorities were at pains to relieve the dire
situation as far as they were able. The Red Cross are quite explicit
in stating that food supplies ceased at this time due to the Allied
bombing of German transportation, and in the interests of interned
Jews they had protested on March 15th, 1944 against "the barbarous
aerial warfare of the Allies" (Inter Arma Caritas, p. 78). By October
2nd, 1944, the ICRC warned the German Foreign Office of the impending
collapse of the German transportation system, declaring that
starvation conditions for people throughout Germany were becoming
inevitable.
In dealing with this comprehensive, three-volume Report, it is
important to stress that the delegates of the International Red Cross
found no evidence whatever at the camps in Axis occupied Europe of a
deliberate policy to exterminate the Jews. In all its 1,600 pages the
Report does not even mention such a thing as a gas chamber. It admits
that Jews, like many other wartime nationalities, suffered rigours and
privations, but its complete silence on the subject of planned
extermination is ample refutation of the Six Million legend. Like the
Vatican representatives with whom they worked, the Red Cross found
itself unable to indulge in the irresponsible charges of genocide
which had become the order of the day. So far as the genuine mortality
rate is concerned, the Report points out that most of the Jewish
doctors from the camps were being used to combat typhus on the eastern
front, so that they were unavailable when the typhus epidemics of 1945
broke out in the camps (Vol. I, p. 204 ff) - Incidentally, it is
frequently claimed that mass executions were carried out in gas
chambers cunningly disguised as shower facilities. Again the Report
makes nonsense of this allegation. "Not only the washing places, but
installations for baths, showers and laundry were inspected by the
delegates. They had often to take action to have fixtures made less
primitive, and to get them repaired or enlarged" (Vol. III, p. 594).
Not All Were Interned
Volume III of the Red Cross Report, Chapter 3 (I. Jewish Civilian
Population) deals with the "aid given to the Jewish section of the
free population," and this chapter makes it quite plain that by no
means all of the European Jews were placed in internment camps, but
remained, subject to certain restrictions, as part of the free
civilian population. This conflicts directly with the "thoroughness"
of the supposed "extermination programme", and with the claim in the
forged Höss memoirs that Eichmann was obsessed with seizing "every
single Jew he could lay his hands on."
In Slovakia, for example, where Eichmann's assistant Dieter Wisliceny
was in charge, the Report states that "A large proportion of the
Jewish minority had permission to stay in the country, and at certain
periods Slovakia was looked upon as a comparative haven of refuge for
Jews, especially for those coming from Poland. Those who remained in
Slovakia seem to have been in comparative safety until the end of
August 1944, when a rising against the German forces took place. While
it is true that the law of May 15th, 1942 had brought about the
internment of several thousand Jews, these people were held in camps
where the conditions of food and lodging were tolerable, and where the
internees were allowed to do paid work on terms almost equal to those
of the free labour market" (Vol. I, p. 646).
Not only did large numbers of the three million or so European Jews
avoid internment altogether, but the emigration of Jews continued
throughout the war, generally by way of Hungary, Rumania and Turkey.
Ironically, post-war Jewish emigration from German-occupied
territories was also facilitated by the Reich, as in the case of the
Polish Jews who had escaped to France before its occupation. "The Jews
from Poland who, whilst in France, had obtained entrance permits to
the United States were held to be American citizens by the German
occupying authorities, who further agreed to recognize the validity of
about three thousand passports issued to Jews by the consulates of
South American countries" (Vol. I, p. 645).
As future U.S. citizens, these Jews were held at the Vittel camp in
southern France for American aliens. The emigration of European Jews
from Hungary in particular proceeded during the war unhindered by the
German authorities. "Until March 1944," says the. Red Cross Report,
"Jews who had the privilege of visas for Palestine were free to leave
Hungary" (Vol. I, p. 648). Even after the replacement of the Horthy
Government in 1944 (following its attempted armistice with the Soviet
Union) with a government more dependent on German authority, the
emigration of Jews continued.
The Committee secured the pledges of both Britain and the United
States "to give support by every means to the emigration of Jews from
Hungary," and from the U.S. Government the ICRC received a message
stating that "The Government of the United States ... now specifically
repeats its assurance that arrangements will be made by it for the
care of all Jews who in the present circumstances are allowed to
leave" (Vol. I, p . 649).
Biedermann agreed that in the nineteen instances that "Did Six Million
Really Die?" quoted from the Report of the International Committee of
the Red Cross on its Activities during the Second World War and Inter
Arma Caritas (this includes the above material), it did so accurately.
A quote from Charles Biedermann (a delegate of the International
Committee of the Red Cross and Director of the Red Cross'
International Tracing Service) under oath at the Zündel Trial
(February 9, 10, 11 and 12, 1988).
Let me here commit the new blasphemy while it is still legal. What we know
as the "holocaust" is largely war-time propaganda. Propaganda that, unlike
most war-time propaganda, was not quietly forgotten. Instead it has
continued; grown more fantastic, more hateful, and more dangerous to
question every year since 1945.
The truth is that somewhere between 700,000 and 1,500,000 people died in
German work camps in 1944 and 1945. Most of them were Jews. Many were not.
Most of them died in the last six months of the war from disease and hunger
caused by America's bombing of Germany and subsequent destruction of her
infrastructure. There were some atrocities but very few. Few people realize
that the International Red Cross had a field office in Auschwiz from 1942
until the end of the war. That office never reported or recorded any
atrocities (Several years ago international Jewry forced the Red Cross to
apologize to the Jews - apologize for not seeing something that never
happened.)
Winston Churchill wrote a five volume history of World War II and never
mentioned the holocaust. He never mentioned it because he knew that the
holocaust was just wartime propaganda and he did not want to sully what he
hoped would be the definitive history of the war with propaganda that common
sense alone could refute. I could go on but the evidence I speak of is
available to The Jubilee readers from many patriotic sources even though it
is still widely censored by America's media and libraries.
