Your lengthy article of March 7, purportedly "Shedding new light on
the Holocaust", did little more than repeat tired Zionist hate propaganda:
"plot to exterminate Europe's Jews", "death camps",
"Six Million Jews killed", "bureaucratic murder", "mass
murder", "the final solution", etc. etc.
It is passing strange that the Globe & Mail, in the face of compelling
evidence both demographic and scientific to the contrary, continues to
portray the "Holocaust" as fact while even organized Jewry now
admits that the gassing of the Six Million was a gross exaggeration. To
quote from Rabbi Gunther Plaut's column in the Canadian Jewish News, Nov.
9, 1989: "Professor Yehuda Bauer of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem,
recognized as one of the greatest students of the Holocaust, says that
four million could indeed not have been killed at Auschwitz, and that by
inflating the numbers of the victims we play into the hands of the Revisionists.
. . the number of Jews gassed was 1,323,000 plus 29.800, a total of 1,350,000."
Inexplicably, this startling and presumably happy reincarnation of almost
three million supposed victims went completely unremarked by the Globe
& Mail.
Prof. Bauer's recantation was reinforced by anti-Nazi German historian
Wolfgang Scheffler who testified at the Finta trial that "the previous
figure of four million killed at Auschwitz has been revised to about 1
million." (CP January 9, 1990)
Further confirmation of the propaganda genesis of the Holocaust appears
in wartime documents recently released by the British Foreign Office, including
an internal memorandum (F0371/15252) to Cavendish-Bentinek from Roger Allen
stating that references to "gas chambers" were "usually,
if not always vague . . . and emanated from Jewish sources" based
on "evidence which is far from conclusive", prompting Cavendish-Bentinek
to reply (Aug. 27, 1943) that "the Jews tend to exaggerate German
atrocities in order to stoke us up. They seem to have succeeded. As regards
to gas chambers, I do not believe that there is any evidence. There have
been many stories, and we have played them up. . . without believing that
they had any foundation".
Apparently, "freelance journalist" Carol Rosenberg has difficulty
distinguishing between documents and lurid TV "docudramas"! June
