PROBLEM OF THE HOLOCAUST
STORY
Action Report
reported that "on February 1 [1996] veteran revisionist publisher Udo Walendy …
was prosecuted [in Germany] for issuing several issues of his Real History
Publications". Walendy's book entitled Forged War Crimes Malign the German
Nation contains the picture (shown at left) titled 'Kaunas 26 June 1941'
which is said to show Lithuanian's Killing Jews in Lithuania. Der Spiegel
published this photo as authentic. However, Walendy claims this "atrocity
photo" and others are faked for propaganda purposes. "In May a court is
Bielefeld ordered Walendy to serve an immediate fifteen month jail sentence for
three of the issues and for having circulated copies of a communiqué issued by
the Finance Ministry in Bonn according to which Germany had met demands for
compensation [of over 93 million DM] submitted by 6-7 million [very much alive]
Jews".
"Action Report
also said "that Auschwitz authorities admitted to L'Express that the gas
chamber they show to tourists is a post-war fake…" the museum reduced the death
toll there from 4 to 1.1 million (1990) but death certificates later found in
KGB archives with 2 years missing showed 75,000 died including infants and the
aged.
"Although
[Professor Martin Broszat of the Institut für Zeitgeschichte (IFZ) in Munich has
declared that there had been no gas chambers used for killing of human beings in
any camps on German Reich soil, for years alleged gas chambers were shown to
visitors at Buchenwald, Dachau, Mauthausen and the Like". However, Revisionist
Historians say gas chambers did exist at these camps to delouse clothing and
equipment. Also, they say crematorium existed to dispose of bodies that died of
disease or other natural causes.
According to
historians outbreaks of typhus were a major problem during the war. Dr. Charles
Larson - one of America's leading forensic pathologists was assigned the task of
securing evidence of German war crimes. Dr. Larson performed autopsies at Dachau
and some twenty other German camps at the end of WW II.
According to
an interview given to WICHITA EAGLE reporter Jan Floerchinger in 1980 he
said that "never was a case of poison gas uncovered". Dr. Larson and other
Allied men discovered the chief cause of death at Dachau, Belsen and other camps
was typhus.
Revisionists
believe the withdrawing Germans may have destroyed crematory ovens at camps
since the soviets had made effective propaganda these ovens were used for mass
killings at Majdanek. However the BBC stated it was the soviets that dynamited
the crematoria at Auschwitz in 1945.
From 1945-1946
the "Big war crime trial" was conducted by the International Military Tribunal
(IMT) at Nuremberg. There was no jury. According to E. Carrol - an American
Lawyer, 60% of the staff of the public prosecutors office were German Jews who
had left Germany to America.
With regards
to reports alleging that torture was used to obtain confessions from Germans USA
Senator Joseph McCarthy gave a statement to the American press on May 20, 1949
in which he said that "in the prison … officers of the SS were flogged [by
Jewish-American investigators] until they were soaked in blood, after which
their sexual organs were trampled on as they lay prostate on the ground… All
these things were carried out with the approval of the public prosecutor … for
the extortion of the required confessions. If the United States lets such acts …
go unpunished then the whole world can rightly criticize us severely and doubt …
our moral integrity…"
The most cited
proof of the extermination are the reports to Reichsfuehrer - SS Heinrich
Himmler (who committed "suicide" while in British custody before he could
testify at Nuremberg) commander of the Einsatzgruppen (Action groups)
Whose task was
to wipe out partisans and communist commissars. These reports show signatures,
which are very rare and when they occur, appear on non-incriminating pages. On
NMT and IMT volumes "signed" generally means only a typewritten signature. Also
some show only initials. Revisionists say alleged documents of the
Einsatzgruppen were processed by YIVO (Yiddish Scientific Institute) of New
York. At Nuremberg written affidavits were accepted by the court without this
evidence being heard under oath.
The following
are excepts from the war crime trial records containing statements by the
prosecution (see MADE IN RUSSIA: THE HOLOCAUST, by Carlos Porter). "From 1943
fearing retribution for … crimes … the Hitlerites … exhumed and burned corpses,
ground bones (in non-existent bone mills say Revisionists) and strewed the ashes
on the fields; they also used the slag formed by the corpses, as well as bone
flour, for repairing the roads and fertilizing the fields" (Document IMT, VII
page 555). "By means of a special procedure which Wirth had invented they were
burned in the open air without the use of fuel." (Document IMT, I page 494).
This is a bizzarre tale say Revisionists. In addition to these deed Jews
Document 022-L, IMT exhibit USA-294 shows that 50,000 Lithuanian Jews were
gassed at Birkenau (Auschwitz complex).
It is claimed
that the Germans murdered all camp in mates in the face of the advancing
soviets. However, Revisionists disagree and say that the actual policy was to
evacuate these valuable laborers to other camps. They give as an example Ann
Frank. She was evacuated from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen where she died of
typhus in March 1945. Her father also an inmate was too sick to travel and
stayed until the soviets liberated Auschwitz.
Revisionists
believe the Germans were relocating European Jews to settlements at Riga, Minsk,
in the Ukraine and the Sea of Azov with Treblinka and others serving as transit
camps. The Kurherr report shows 1,449,692 Jews transported to the Russian East.
They also believe Jews were used to build fortifications. It is recorded that
Romania decided to repatriate Jews it had resettled by the Sea of Azov.
Revisionists believe that after the war some of these Jews were dispersed
throughout the USSR and perhaps others went to the Jewish "Autonomous State" of
Birobidzhan established by the soviets in 1928. Although German Documents about
the resettlement camps do not exist and Revisionists believe they were destroyed
by the Allies, a resettlement program would be in line with the Nazi policy of
"freeing all of Europe from Jewish influence". Holocaust Historians still
maintain the " final solution" was a policy of extermination, not
resettlement.
In a final
letter (before burning himself alive) to fellow Germans worldwide Reinhold
Elstner criticized the policies of the current German Government. He also said
that "German TV reported from Kiev the latest findings of the Ukrainian
commission at Babi Yar; They had discovered the remains of some 180,000 murdered
human beings all killed on Stalin's orders [before 1941]". The Germans were
charged at Nuremberg with shooting 100,000 people at this
location.
The conclusion
drawn by the 'International Board of Investigation, Lemberg 1941' based on 232
statements by witnesses said that "… on the 22nd June 1941 ...
thousands of people were deported or imprisoned… [by the Soviet Secret Service
(NKVD)]. When the transport department broke down and it became impossible to
transport the prisoners to inner-Russia and Siberia, the … NKVD were instructed
… [on the 24th of June 1941] … to liquidate the political prisoners …
according to the trustworthy findings of the American 'Kersten-Ausschus' at
least 80,000-100,000 people were murdered in the Ukraine … by the …
NKVD…"
Professor
Aleksandras Shtromas who was interned in the Kaunas Ghetto and whose father was
executed in the Lietukis Garage Massacre says that "The most notorious
interrogators of the Lithuanian branch of the … NKVD were Lithuanian Jewish
communists … which deported to Siberia the … so-called 'anti-soviet elements' of
Lithuania". While he does not give statistics for Lithuania, in the Ukraine,
"Jews made up nearly eighty percent of the rank-and file CHEKA (A predecessor of
the NKVD) agents", says W. Bruce Lincoln, an American professor of Russian
History.
Walter Sanning
- author of The Dissolution of Eastern European Jewry estimates that over
25 million people including more than 2 million Jews were either deported or
evacuated when the Red Army withdrew in 1941. Zionist sources estimate the
number as about 12 million. The soviets had time to plan the removal populations
since the soviet spy Sorge had reported the imminent attack by the German army
disclosing the exact date of June 22, 1941. This attack came before Stalin could
launch his own planned attack in late summer 1941. (See Icebreaker by V.
Suvorov.)
The Zionist
Institute of Jewish Affairs wrote that "… there was time enough to evacuate the
civilian population … Jews were among the first to be evacuated". The Moscow
newspaper Eynreyt of December 5, 1942 said that "the evacuation saved a
decisive majority of Jews of the Ukraine, White Russia, Lithuania and Latvia.
According to information … there were few Jew there when the Germans arrived".
Also, Onute Garbstiene - a Lithuanian school teacher deported to Siberia in 1941
mentions in her diary published as Hell In Ice asking camp officials the
difference between deportees and evacuatees. Revisionists believe many of these
Jews were also dispersed throughout the USSR and integrated into soviet
life.
THE STATE
ENCYCLOPEDIA PUBLISHER gives the
Jewish share of the population in Lithuania as 13.1% (1897), 8.3% (1923), 0.9%
(24.7 thousand) in 1959, (Sanning reports this census showed only about one-half
the actual number of Jews in the USSR), and 0.6% (1989). THE AMERICAN JEWISH
YEARBOOK 1940, vol. 42 shows the Jewish population as 155,125 (1923). Polish
sources additionally list Vilnius as 55,071 (1931). A total of 210,194. But what
about emigration for nearly 2 decades? The IFZ admitted: "[after] … 1933 about
100,000 [or about 3% of] Jews left Poland every year … similar tendencies
occurred in Latvia [and] Lithuania". When calculating the Lithuanian Jewish
population before the war, allowances for emigration from 1923 (Vilnius from
1931) to the beginning of the war is seldom made. Zionist sources also deny the
massive Polish emigration of the 1930's. However, both Zionist and Revisionist
sources agree that the soviets deported in just two days and nights almost 1
million Polish Jews to Siberia in 1940.
J. Matakas'
essay in Lithuania Today: Politics & Economics, December 1992 says
that "in 1928 the student body of Kaunas University included 1,000 Jews (25%) …
in 1935 … 496 (14.9%) … in 1936 … percentage-wise the student body in
establishments of Higher education numbered 76.6% Lithuanians, 17.6% Poles, 1.5%
Germans, 1.4% Russians and 0.3% Latvians". These figures total 97.4%. It's odd
he gives no accounting for 2.6% of students and does not mention
Jews.
Zionist
sources say that in 1939 large numbers of young Lithuanian Jews joined the
soviets. With the help of the Vilnius Palestine Office and various consulates,
thousands of Jews emigrated. Also, the Japanese diplomat S. Sugihara is said to
have issued transit visas that helped up to 6,000 Jews leave in 1940. In
addition, V.P.U.'s L. Truska says about 7,000 Lithuanian Jews were deported 1
week before the German invasion.
Matakas says
that the "twelfth Vermacht Battalion which in accordance with data released by
the Wiesental Centre (This "Nazi Hunter" organization is responsible for
bringing Frank Walus to trial in the USA. It was only after a bankrupting legal
battle for Walus was he found innocent) is responsible for the killing of 15,000
Jews. Lithuanian Jews (1-1500) took part in the armed anti-fascist struggle and
underground movement (partisans)?"
The tactics of
Jewish partisans operating in the rear of the German Army was to demoralize the
regular troops opposing them, individual soldiers caught unaware were shot or
stabbed, prisoners were tortured and then murdered, their bodies left mutilated.
After the war, atrocities committed by the communist partisans were not "war
crimes" since the perpetrators were on the winning side. In contrast according
to SIEGRUNEN 35, p.28, German Major Walter Reder was convicted in Italy
of murdering innocent civilians. However, these "civilians" were in fact the Red
Star Brigade Partisans. Civilians killed in the crossfire and those murdered by
Partisans were also blamed on him. The soviets boasted that their Partisans
killed 500,000 Germans. F.J.P. Veale wrote in ADVANCE TO BARBARISM that
the execution of hostages is not unusual when illegal partisan warfare is being
conducted. This procedure is unanimously upheld by the military authorities of
all civilized countries as coercive measure to safeguard the lives of combatant
forces. The Americans abided by this rule when they entered the Harz district
and threatened execution in the ratio of 200 to 1 for every American murdered.
(Are today's "war criminals" from Serbia in a similar position as Major Reder
was?)
A report by
the American Intelligence Service in 1919 listed the names of 25 leading
Bolshevik officials / 24 of whom were shown to be Jewish. (Lenin the
25th, his grandfather was Jewish. Also, Stalin's wife and Kaganovich,
his key advisor were both Jews.) Shtromas says "that more than half the
membership of the tiny pre-soviet Lithuanian Communist Party, about eight
hundred people were Jews. [these] … Jewish communists in 1940 played prominent
roles in the soviet administration of Lithuania". Shtromas continued: "During a
[anti-Soviet] national uprising that began on [June 22, 1941] … Jewish pogroms
broke out … along with [this] Lithuanian Rebel troops started indiscriminately
arresting Jews for their 'collaboration with the soviets' …" He "believes" over
3,500 Jews were killed in pogroms (THE WORLD AND I, 2/1992 p.p. 572-577).
German troops arrived in Kaunas on June 24, 1941. Einsatzgruppen's SS General
Ohlendorf testified at Nuremberg that his units had to prevent pogroms by
Ukrainians. Donald Day, an American correspondent stationed in Latvia 1920-40
said pogrom reports were sometimes exaggerated. In ONWARD CHRISTIAN
SOLDIERS he wrote: "I was … asked to forward pogrom stories. I investigated
and found them untrue."
One of
opposition Leader V. Landsbergis speeches appeared in the June 1995 issue of
JERUSALEM OF LITHUANIA. He said that the "truth could be said by marking
the sites of massacre with memorials giving the names of victims resting there,
telling people what happened and who did it". During the war some 2,000
Lithuanians "saved Jews". In many cases these were pro-soviet individuals hiding
Jewish partisans.
An article
that appeared in the LIETUVOS RYTAS on August 21, 1996 was a story about
how Lithuanian archaeologists found no human remains at a site in Marijampole
where 5,000 to 10,000 persons including many Jews, were said to have been
murdered during the Second World War. The article said that records from the
period claim that in July 1941, 239 persons were shot and in the same year on
September 1, 5,039 persons were killed including 109 mental patients. The
monument caretaker said that after the war there were forged documents showing
incorrect data of executions and an erroneous count of victims. According to the
leader of the investigation, Dr. A. Merkevicius, of Vilnius University, the
monument funded by taxpayers is all a bluff. Merkevicius said that the facts
surrounding the alleged war crimes World War II should also be investigated more
thoroughly. Also, the MOKYKLIN LIETUVOS ISTORIJOS ATLASAS, 1995 p. 25
shows some 200 sites including Marijampole, where mass executions are said to
have occurred.
An exhibit
about the report that is alleged to have been written by Colonel K. Jäger,
commander of the Einsatzgruppen in Lithuania is shown at the Lithuanian State
Museum. It describes actions taken against "civilians" including Jews. Jäger
lived in hiding after the war until his arrest and imprisonment in 1959. He,
like Himmler, committed "suicide" before he could testify.
Matakas said
that "of the 9,000 troops of the 16th Lithuanian Riflemen's Division
(pro-soviet force) to perish, 2000 were Jews". He gives no figures for the
number inducted into this division or the time and place they were recruited.
The author estimates this at 8,500 Jews, a disproportionate number. Matakas
continued "the number of Lithuanian Jews to have perished is believed to have
equaled 135,000 in accordance with the collection of documents published in the
book SS IM EISTZ. Meanwhile the Historian Atamukas … [estimates] … it
over 200,000".
THE BALTIC
STATES A REFERENCE BOOK (BSRB) says
that "… people deported from Lithuania during the campaigns of 1941-52 … is
estimated to have reached the 300,000 mark". Other sources show 100,000 of these
had returned by 1991.
THE POPULATION
OF LITHUANIA (PL) says
"about 300,000 people withdrew [from Lithuania] with the retreating Russian army
in World War I". They give no figures on the number that withdrew with the
retreating Soviet Army in World War II. The BSRB gives information on the
withdrawal from Estonia - a country less than half the size of Lithuania. They
write that "German forces crossed the Estonian border on July 5, 1941, 35,000
people joined the retreating soviet forces, as well as 33,000 Estonians who had
been forcibly conscripted into the Soviet Army". The Estonian Jewish population
was 4,302 (1934). Almost all of these are "believed" to have been
annihilated.
Sanning's book
shows Kaunas (1934) with a Jewish population of 27,200 before the war and a
deported and / or evacuated population of 33,000 (22%). For Taurge this figure
is 5,100 (39%). His source is KAUENER ZEITUNG, 'Jerusalem im Osten', no.
15, 8/19/1941, p. 3 and others. Sanning said that in the Ukrainian town of
Novograd Volynsk, the Germans found only 10% of the population when their swift
advance liberated it 3 days after the war began.
Zionist
sources maintain however, that there was time enough only for an "estimated"
10,000 Lithuanian Jews to flee.
PL says "over
80,000 people left Lithuania in 1918-39 mainly for Brazil, Argentina, the USA
and Canada (includes non-Jews). There were Jews who emigrated to Palestine… In
1944 about 180,000 people fled the approaching Red Army … to Western countries …
over 50,000 people … were transferred to Germany for … Labor". (Jews to
Auschwitz?)
VILNIUS IN
YOUR POCKET article
'Jerusalem De Lita' said that between 1941 and 1943 two ghettos (Jews were
arrested and placed in ghettos because they were considered a threat to the rear
of the German Army) in Vilnius were liquidated and their "estimated" 30,000
inhibitants were deported to Estonia and Latvia and many were shot and burned in
pits at Paneriai (Revisionists say it is impossible for human bodies to be
consumed by flames in this manner as not enough heat can be generated in open
pits). The deportations occurred in the large ghetto after partisans had killed
German soldiers. Jewish partisans reentered Vilnius with the Soviet Army under
the Soviet Regime. However, many Jews were deported.
Sanning gives
the immigration of European Jews to the USA as 406,000 (1933-43) and 490,000
(after the war) to Latin America 180,000 (1930's) and 250,000 (after the war).
The Jewish population of Palestine was 94,945 (1924), 553,000 (1944) and 649,606
(1948). Displaced persons (DP) from Lithuania to the USA were officially
reported as 24,698 (1948-52). In 1943 the U.S. Government took specific steps to
assure that accurate data on the number of Jews entering the country as DP's
would not exit.
Sanning says
there were 9.5 million (early 1930's) Jewish in Europe (including the USSR). 3.5
million of these were under German occupation during the war. 0.5 million were
in countries never occupied by Germany. 4.3 million were in the USSR in 1945.
The soviet figure is only 2,267,814 (1959). However, Zionist sources admit that
soviet policy was to have Jews disappear statistically. Professor M. Zand of
Hebrew University quoting the Israeli newspaper BETH SHALOM said there
were 4.5 million Jews in the USSR. After the war 2.4 million Jews were found
alive in Europe.
Sanning gives
the number of Jewish fatalities in Eastern areas as "at least 700,000 … during
the deportation [and evacuation] … or in [soviet] concentration camps. 200,000
were killed in combat … and a further 130,000 may have died because of fighting
in the cities, pogroms of the native population, hunger, epidemics, lack of
medical attention, over-aging and … because of retribution against Jewish
hostages in retaliation for Germans murdered by partisans". Revisionist
Historians believe an additional 300,000 died from typhus and starvation near
the end of the war when it became difficult to supply the German controlled
camps.
In time we
will know if in 1994 the foundation of a plan for future compensation to Israel
based on the number 200,000 Jewish deaths was established by Israel and
Lithuanian President Brazaukas.
The Lithuanian
State Jewish Museum, Pamenkalnio 12, Vilnius, Lithuania will give you the
Zionist view of the Holocaust story. (A new museum is under construction in
Vilnius and located on the street between the University's History Department
and the trolley bus station that students go to on their way
home.)
