The main media in the United States suppress stories like the one below or play them down, and readers depend on papers like the Calgary Herald to get some glimpses that the worm has turned.
The title of this article is "Witnesses recount postwar atrocities in Polish camps", written by Roger Boyes of the Times of London, dated June 14, 2001.
Zundelsite comments interspersed:
Calgary Herald:
OPOLE, POLAND -- German women were drowned in latrines and prisoners were buried alive during postwar internment in Poland, according to witnesses at the trial of a Polish camp commandant.
Zundelsite:
Not only in Poland - likewise in Eisenhower's Death Camps, the infamous "Rheinwiesen" (Rhine Meadows) after the war, where Allied vassals to this day have forbidden archeological digs - under threat of fines up to DM 250,000 (US$ 150,000) if a farmer were to dig in his own field for evidence, which would prove similar atrocities committed by US Camp Guards in 1945.
Calgary Herald:
Czelaw Geborski, a stooped, snowy-haired pensioner of 76, is accused of murdering German women who, after the Second World War, were herded into deportation camps prior to being expelled from Silesia.
Zundelsite:
A bit of a twisted sentence, but the meaning is clear. John Sack, the well-known Jewish author of the book, "An Eye for an Eye", painstakingly details similar atrocities in other camps, one run by Schmuel (Solomon Morrell) whom Israel steadfastly refuses to extradite to Poland for his mass torture and fiendish murder of thousands of Germans after the war.
Calgary Herald:
(Geborski's) trial is the first to be held in post-communist Europe for crimes committed against Germans. About 14 million of them were expelled from territory that is now part of Poland and the Czech Republic; two million died mainly of hunger, exhaustion and disease as they trekked westward.
Zundelsite:
We are still waiting for the Czechs, Yugoslavs, Russians and Bulgarians to put their torturers and murderers of Germans on trial - and for the French, British and Americans to do likewise. Evidence of these Allied crimes is easy to come by in Allied and German archives.
Calgary Herald:
The revelations, coupled with the disclosure that Polish villagers took part in a bloodthirsty massacre of Jews during the war, have forced Poland to reassess its image of itself as one of the primary victims of Hitler.
Zundelsite:
Chauvinistic Polish elements mistreated, dispossessed, robbed, raped and murdered Germans under their control long before Hitler was in power in Germany - and long after his regime was defeated. Whoever heard of Bloody Sunday in Bromberg a few days before war broke out?
Calgary Herald:
The Silesian atrocities occurred in 1945 and 1946, after the end of the war. The Soviet Union laid claim to what was once eastern Poland and, in return, Poles gained territory in the west. Germans living there were thrown out. Once resettled in Germany, they formed powerful political associations that kept alive memories of camps such as Lamsdorf (now known as Lambinowice) 30 kilometres from Opole. [Ed. The German town of Oppeln]
Zundelsite:
Even Sixty Minutes, famous US news program, ran a special feature on the torture and murder of Germans in Silesia, independently verifying John Sack's gruesome findings and discovering more. Some of these murderers live in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Toronto and New Jersey and are known, even though they carry fake new names.
Calgary Herald:
Geborski, sitting in the dock next to his often embarrassed lawyer, interrupted loudly as the witnesses tried to reconstruct everyday life in the camp. "It was like a holiday camp!" he barked out, banging his stick on the floor. "They all had their own beds and three modest meals."
Zundelsite:
In the face of all the evidence that exists, this qualifies as a form of Holocaust Denial perpetrated on the hapless Germans. It will be interesting to see what the sentence for Geborski will be. It will also be interesting to see if the OSI will go after the murderers of Germans living in America flushed out by John Sack - and if Israel will ship accused mass murderer Morrell for trial in Poland. Anyone holding his breath?
By the way, what ethnic background does Geborski claim? Just asking.

"By and by God caught his eye."
