Stephen Goodson on so called "holocaust"

The “Holocaust” 5

On June 28, 2011 I participated in a radio programme of the Texas-based Republic Broadcasting Network6 hosted by Deanna Spingola with the topic of discussion being “Is Germany’s Constitution a Failure?” America is one of the few remaining countries in the world where freedom of speech is not only enshrined in law (the First Amendment of the US Constitution), but also practised, and I was informed that I could say whatever I wished. In the course of a two hour interview the question came up as to whether Germany is being exploited by being forced to pay reparations, currently in excess of $100 billion. I replied that the “Holocaust”, in which I do not believe, was being used as an instrument to blackmail the Germans into having to pay vast sums in lieu of an event for which no documentary or forensic proof exists.

I have never denied the “Holocaust”, as to this day I have been unable to establish what exactly occurred and have yet to read or see any evidence which has probative value. I have therefore adopted the status of a sceptic in the spirit of the Descartian maxim of de omnibus dubitandum est – everything has to be doubted, without which principle scientific progress and civilisation is impossible. In terms of the Aristotelian general principle of scientific enquiry, one must first seek the facts and then seek to explain them. In the absence of verifiable facts and the legal sanctions imposed by 16 European countries,7 which prohibit any form of discussion of these so-called facts and which impose heavy fines and imprisonment of up to 20 years if one does so; one is compelled to assume that the “Holocaust” is not an historical fact. This becomes evident when it is realised that it may not be subject to any form of re-interpretation, reassessment and critical analysis, as is the custom with all other historical facts. The “Holocaust” narrative therefore possesses all the accoutrements of a dogma, which has been codified into a form of religion, and as Gilad Atzmon, the Israeli musician and author, has written in The Wandering Who,8“It could well be the most sinister religion known to man, for in the name of Jewish suffering, it issues licences to kill, to flatten, to nuke, to annihilate, to loot, to ethnically cleanse. It has made vengeance into an acceptable Western value.”

Readers, who have an open mind and wish to view this matter in an objective manner, might like to consider the following rhetorical questions.

(i) Did International Jewry make a world-wide declaration of war on Germany without the slightest provocation, less than two months after the National Socialists were democratically elected? Yes. On March 24, 1933 such a declaration was made and was well publicised in the international media.9 Germany was thus fully entitled to intern suspected Jewish trouble makers and to take whatever action was necessary in order to protect the sovereignty of the German state.

(ii) Was Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) on November 9, 1938 a false flag operation staged by Jewish Zionists? Yes. In reaction to a British parliamentary proposal to guarantee Palestine to the Palestinians and to encourage Jewish emigration from Germany - preferably to Palestine - a German diplomat was murdered by a deranged Polish Jew, who had been set up by a French Jewish organisation known as the La Ligue Internationale Contre l’Antisemitisme. False telephone and telegram instructions were issued by agents provocateurs to Kreisleiters (district leaders) and other junior leaders to set alight Jewish businesses and synagogues. Unfortunately some of them did respond, and a large number of buildings were burnt down, and 89 people are alleged to have died. Hitler was furious when he heard about this outrage and ordered that it be stopped immediately.10

(iii) Does a written order issued by Hitler, Himmler, Göring, Heydrich or any other high ranking official to annihilate European Jewry exist? No.

(iv) Are there any architectural drawings, technical plans, budgets, accounting documents etc. relating to the construction of homicidal gas chambers in existence, bearing in mind that the Allies seized over 3,000 tons of German documents? No.

(v) Are the eyewitness accounts reliable and consistent? No. As far back as January 1950 in an article written in Jewish Social Studies, the observation was made that “…most of the memoirs and reports [of Holocaust survivors] are full of preposterous verbosity, graphomanic exaggeration, dramatic effects, over-estimated self-inflation, dilettante philosophizing, would-be lyricism, unchecked rumors, bias, partisan attacks etc.”11

More recently in August 1986, history professor and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Caen, France, Michel de Bouaerd, who was a member of the French resistance and was interned in Mauthausen concentration camp, stated that “The documentation concerning the Holocaust is rotten, the documentation about the system of the German concentration camps is permeated by a mass of invented stories, relentless repetitions of falsifications, especially in regard to numbers, and confusion and generalizations.”12

(vi): Were all Jews deported from Germany to the camps? No, in the 1944 Berlin telephone directory dozens of Jewish organisations are listed, which indicates that a vibrant Jewish community still existed in the German capital at that time.

(vii) Was the official death toll at Auschwitz reduced (without explanation) from 4 million13 to 1.1 million in 1991? Yes. After the forensic reports of Fred Leuchter,14 an engineer, who has constructed homicidal gas chambers in the USA, and Germar Rudolf,15 a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, were released, the Auschwitz museum authorities had no alternative, but to reduce the figure. The Rudolf Report (447 pages) has been peer reviewed by over 300 professors of inorganic chemistry in Europe. Not one of them could find a single mistake.

(viii) Is the real Auschwitz death toll substantially lower than 1.1. million? Yes. According to the complete Auschwitz records kept at the Russian Central Archives (Moscow No. 187603, microfilm 557-25, rolls 281-286, from May 1940 to December 1944) 103,424 persons died, of whom 98.4% perished from natural causes, principally typhus. Of the remaining 1,646, who were executed after due judicial process, 117 were Jews.

(ix) Do the messages between Auschwitz and Berlin decoded by Bletchley Park, England reveal any untoward events at that camp? No, nothing except for a spike in deaths from typhus during the summer of 1942.16

(x) Do the official accounts of World War II written by Winston Churchill, The Second World War (6 vols.), Charles de Gaulle, Memoires de Guerre (3 vols.), Harry S. Truman Memoirs (2 vols.), Dwight Eisenhower, Crusade in Europe, which contain 8,263 pages of text as well as introductory chapters, endnotes, appendices, indices etc., make any reference to “holocaust” or the murder of millions of Jews having taken place? No.

Auschwitz is the fulcrum 17 of the “Holocaust”, but how was life experienced there in reality? The following list of facilities, some of which still exist, points to an entirely different purpose. There were playing fields, a volley ball court, a fencing club, a sauna, a post office at which there were twice weekly pick-ups and deliveries, (inmates were allowed to send one postcard and one letter per week), a library with over 45,000 volumes, an office where inmates could lodge in private complaints with the commandant, halls for cinema shows and theatrical productions, 16 camp orchestras, a canteen, a photo laboratory, a camp university, classes offering courses in art and sculpture, an art museum, a designated building for religious services of all faiths, a brothel and a well equipped hospital with a maternity wing in which 3,000 babies were born, none of whom died.18 Marriages were also permitted. There were regular visits by the International Red Cross, who would interview inmates in isolation, and nothing untoward was ever reported, including the existence of “gas chambers.”19 On hot summer days children were served ice cream,20 while a swimming pool with a diving board was available for use by both detainees and staff. One of the more famous users was a French Jew Alfred Nakache,21 an Olympic swimmer, who practised regularly during the summer months. He was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1993. Another well-known sportsman, who was allowed to continue his career as a heavyweight boxer while detained at Auschwitz, was Harry (Herschel) Haft.

Auschwitz was a giant labour camp providing a work force for the Buna-Werke factory of IG Farben, where artificial rubber was manufactured. It also functioned as an internment camp.

It should be noted that internment of enemy civilians is standard international practice. Thus in 1939 all German and Austrian nationals residing in the United Kingdom were sent to an internment camp on the Isle of Man, while in 1942 in the USA the entire Japanese population of 110,000 was sent to eight internment camps.

Slave labour was forbidden in Germany and all foreign workers were issued with an arbeitsbuch (work book) and received the same pay, insurance benefits and paid-up vacations as regular German workers.22 When the camp was abandoned on January 25, 1945, 80% of the inmates, rather than face the known brutality of the Soviet army, elected to travel west with the German camp guards. Most of the remaining 20% were either too elderly or too infirm to travel in the harsh winter conditions.

It needs to be stressed that nobody died as a result of starvation at Auschwitz and that the many harrowing scenes of emaciated and starving inmates found in camps like Belsen and Buchenwald were the direct consequence of the incessant Allied bombing and destruction of the German infrastructure, which prevented the transportation of food and medical supplies. From 1945 onwards many of the camps became overcrowded with the transfer of inmates from the east of the country which led to the spread of disease, and in particular typhus.

There is a commonly held belief that Hitler hated Jews, but there is no evidence supporting this contention.23 He did of course severely criticize certain Jews, but criticism does not constitute hatred. Moreover, racial discrimination24 was not tolerated in the Third Reich. In the 1920s Hitler’s trusted bodyguard and chauffeur, who saved his life on several occasions, was the Jew, Emil Maurice. Furthermore Hitler was not averse to appointing Jews to prominent positions in the Third Reich such as Dr Robert Ley (real name Levy), who headed the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (German Labour Front) and Dr Hjalmar Schacht (real name Hajum Schachtl), who was president of the Reichsbank (1933-39).25 Over 150,000 Jews26 of varying degrees of Jewish descent fought in the Wehrmacht, with many of them occupying the highest rank such as Field Marshal Erich von Manstein (née Lewinski).27

There were also dozens of full Jews serving voluntarily in the Gestapo and SS.28 One of the more unlikely supporters of Hitler was the Lehi,29 a Jewish resistance group in Palestine, which later became known as the Stern Gang under the leadership of Yitzhak Shamir, Prime Minister of Israel (1983-84) and (1988-92). The men of the Lehi respected Hitler and persistently sought an alliance with Nazi Germany throughout 1940-41,30 which included the offer of a battalion31 of soldiers by Shamir.

The “Holocaust” has been ruthlessly exploited to gain financial largesse from other intimidated European countries and includes a shakedown of Swiss banks, 32 which were blackmailed in August 1998 into handing over $1.25 billion or face closure of their branches in the United States. German companies and more recently French national railroad SNCF have also been sued for unspecified amounts. So far 4.3 million Jewish “survivors” have claimed wiedergutmachung or compensation, even though the number of Jews living in countries occupied by Germany during World War II did not exceed 2.9 million.33

Substantial portions of these compensation payments intended for so called “survivors” often do not reach them, but are embezzled by intermediaries, while more recently there have been a number of cases involving claims, which have been submitted by fraudulent “survivors”.34 The best known exposer of the “Holocaust” scam is Professor Norman Finkelstein, formerly of De Paul University, Chicago, whose parents apparently survived several years at Auschwitz unscathed. In his landmark treatise The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering, which has sold over half a million copies,35 the financial aspects of this extortion racket are fully exposed.

Since December 27, 2009 the Jewish “Holocaust” and its mythical “gas chambers” have ceased to exist, at least in the mind of Professor Robert van Pelt. In the words of French Professor Robert Faurisson, 36 the doyen of historical revisionism: “Van Pelt is a Jewish researcher who, giving up the fight, has come to acknowledge that there exists at Auschwitz, capital of “the Holocaust”, no evidence of an extermination of the Jews but only ‘testimonies’ (sic).

He recommends that the entire site of Auschwitz and Birkenau be surrendered to nature. In other words, if I understand correctly, the tens of millions of tourists or pilgrims who have visited the place have been and continue to be fooled with an abundance of false evidence. For me, the exploiters of the Auschwitz myth are not just making fools of the living but are also mocking the dead, whose real sufferings are thus relegated to make way for phantasmagorical tales born of sick brains and turned to profit by swindlers.”37

For those Jews who are offended by billions of people who are unaware of or refuse to believe in their “Holocaust” religion, they do have the option to avoid such offence by emigrating to a country where such a belief is tolerated, viz. their national homeland Birobidjan. Founded in 1928 by Soviet leader Josef Stalin, it is similar in size to Switzerland and nearly double the size of Palestine, situated in an under-populated and fertile corner of south east Russia. There are currently 75,000 inhabitants of this oblast or region, it has its own flag and the official language is Yiddish. The official policy of the government of the Russian Federation is to move “toward its own final solution of the Jewish question, through voluntary resettlement of those members of the Jewish minority who refuse to integrate into Russian society and adopt Western culture”.38

Notes:

M.H. Glyn, The American Hebrew, The Crucifixion of Jews Must Stop!, October 31, 1919. The six million figure is of cabbalistic significance to some Jews and between June 11, 1900 and September 3, 1939 it appeared in at least 150 articles, books and periodicals with the claim that six million Jews are suffering or about to be killed. In this article by Glyn it is alleged that “Six million men and women are dying from lack of the necessaries of life” and that it is a “threatened holocaust.”

Ironically, a resolution at the World Zionist Congress held on September 5, 1933 calling for action against Hitler was defeated by 240 votes to 43.

17 In recent years the focus on the so called extermination camps has shifted from Auschwitz to Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor and Treblinka, which are alleged to have been part of an operation known as Operation Reinhardt. In a monumental study, released in October 2013, C. Mattogno, J. Graf, T. Kues, The “Extermination Camps” of “Aktion Reinhardt”: An Analysis and refutation of factious Evidence”, Deceptions and flawed argumentation of the “Holocaust controversies” Bloggers (Holocaust Handbook), Castle Hill Publishers, 2013, 1385 pp, the authors reveal that these camps were little more than transit facilities, and in the case of Bełżec also a labour camp.

19 An example of why scepticism of the “Holocaust” is justified may be found in Martin Gilbert’s (real name Gibbertsohn) Auschwitz and the Allies, Arrow Books Limited, London, 1984 where on page 26 he writes that “The deliberate attempt to destroy systematically all of Europe’s Jews was unsuspected in the spring and early summer of 1942: the very period during which it was at its most intense, and during which hundreds of thousands of Jews were being gassed every day at Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor and Treblinka.” By multiplying the 120 days of March, April, May and June by the minimum figure of 200,000 victims per day a total of 24 million is the result. In 1939 the American Jewish Committee of the Synagogue Council estimated the total Jewish population at 15.6 million, which by 1948 had advanced slightly to 15.7 million. Similar figures may be found in the World Almanac of 1940 where on page 129 the Jewish population is recorded as being 15,193,359. The 1947 edition records on page 289 a figure of 15,690,000. See also Red Cross Report, Documents sur l’activité du CICR en faveur des civils detenus dans les camps de concentration en Allemagne 1939-1945, Geneva, published between 1948-1959, 3 vols., where there is no mention of the existence of “gas chambers”.

In Public Record Office Document FO371/34551 dated August 27, 1943, Victor Cavendish-Bentinck, head of the British Psychological Warfare Executive admitted that there was not the slightest evidence that “gas chambers” existed and that such tales of their alleged existence were employed solely for propaganda purposes. In a hand written minute he wrote: “We have had a good run for our money with this gas chamber story we have been putting about, but don’t we run the risk eventually we are going to be found out and when we are found out the collapse of that lie is going to bring the whole of our psychological warfare with it? So isn’t it rather time now to let it drift off by itself and concentrate on other lines that we are running.” See http://www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/docs/Cavendish.html See also T. Christopherson, Auschwitz – A Personal Account, Sons of Liberty, 1979, 31 pp. W. Stäglich, a German judge, The Auschwitz Myth, Institute for Historical Review, 1986, 376 pp, and lastly on March 30, 1988 Joseph G. Burg, a son of a Romanian rabbi, who had visited Auschwitz in the latter half of 1945 and has written six books on World War II, testified under oath at the Ernst Zündel ‘False News’ trial in Toronto that the Holocaust was “a falsification of history” and that if this hoax was persisted with “there will never be a sincere relationship between the Jews and the Germans.”

Her parents were arrested because they had failed to report for duty at a labour camp in 1943.

22 A typical example of this policy took place on August 7, 1944 when Amtsleiter Hans Biebow informed Jewish workers at a clothing factory in Łódź (Litzmannstadt), Poland that they were to be transferred with their families and possessions (20kg each) west to a munitions factory, where they would be paid “in Reichsmarks” www.inconvenienthistory.com/archive/2013/volume_5/number_2/german_deportation_european_jews.php In a post-war case, instituted by an ex-concentration camp prisoner (Jewish), who was suing in order to receive compensation for injuries he had received in an accident, while working in the camp during the war, a court official, Dr Florian Freund, who represented the Archives Department of the Austrian Resistance Movement, reported that the camp authorities did pay into social health care, accident and pension funds for all prisoners.

23 In Hitler’s Table Talk compiled by M. Bormann, Ostara Publications, 2012, there are over 30 references, many of them detailed, to Jews. Although they are subjected to harsh criticism, there is not even a hint of an extermination programme.

24 The National Socialists’ treatment of Black people was enlightened and humane when compared to the often brutal exploitation of American Negroes in chain gangs in the 1930s. The following example of official German policy is sourced from V.K. Clark, Black Nazis!!! Minorities and Foreigners in Hitler’s Armed Forces: An Unbiased History, Create Space Independent Publishing Platform, 2, 238 pp. “15 Negroes and their families from previous German colonies are living in Germany. Most of them were soldiers fighting on Germany’s behalf. Most of them have no constant work and in the event that they do find work, their employer is subjected to hate campaigns and is forced to sack the Negroes again. I must point out that Negroes must have a possibility to earn a living, especially as most of them still have contact with their home country and will report about their circumstances in Germany. In co-ordination with the Foreign Minister it is important to select which Negroes should receive special protection and a work permit. However, it will still take some time before documentation has been issued. This information is confidential and should not be passed on as general knowledge, as some Party members will not accept and understand the reasons for the support of the Negroes. Only in areas where the Negroes live the district leaders should be informed that there are no objections for the employment of Negroes and no other action against individual Negroes is acceptable.” Confidential circular no. 55/36 issued by Reichsleiter Martin Bormann.
