Zgram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

May 3, 2004

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Dr. Robert Faurisson, in his impeccable ways, published a scholarly 
research paper some time ago titled Revelations in 1983 About the 
British Torturers of Rudolf Höss.  You can find it in its entirety on 
the Institute for Historical Review website at 
http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v07/v07p389_Faurisson.html

I have excerpted it below for readability, knowing that most people's 
attention span, including mine, is short, overwhelmed as we all are 
with information overload.  However, with the world's attention 
focused on the torture and killing atrocities that are now coming to 
light in Iraq, it is "revisionistically appropriate" to point out 
that these cruelties are nothing new - they have been applied 
specifically and systematically to demoralize, degrade and demonize a 
people toward specific political ends for many decades if not 
centuries. 

In one telling case, we are still feeling the impact - or should I 
say blowback?!

Far too little attention has been paid to the torture story of the 
Commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss.  Here are the facts of the 
birthdate and -place of the myth that paralyzes and demasculates 
entire governments before our very eyes:

[START]

The Revisionists proved a long time ago that the various confessions 
of Rudolf Höss contained so many gross errors, nonsensical elements, 
and impossibilities of all kinds, that it is no longer possible to 
believe them, as did the judges at Nuremberg and Cracow, as well as 
certain self styled historians, without any prior analysis of their 
content and of the circumstances in which they were obtained.

In all likelihood, Höss was tortured by the British soldiers of the 
92nd Field Security Section, but a confirmation of that hypothesis 
was necessary. Confirmation has come with the publication in England 
of a book containing the name of the principal torturer (a British 
sergeant of Jewish origin) and a description of the circumstances of 
Höss' arrest, as well as his third-degree interrogation.

The book is by Rupert Butler. It was published in 1983 (Hamlyn 
Paperbacks). Butler is the author of three other works: The Black 
Angels, Hand of Steel and Gestapo, all published by Hamlyn. The book 
that interests us is entitled Legions of Death. Its inspiration is 
anti-Nazi. Butler says that he researched this book at the Imperial 
War Museum in London, the Institute for Contemporary History and 
Wiener Library, and other such prestigious institutions. At the 
beginning of his book, he expresses his gratitude to these 
institutions and, among others, to two persons, one of whom is 
Bernard Clarke ("who captured Auschwitz Commandant Rudolf Höss"). The 
author quotes several fragments of what are either written or 
recorded statements by Clarke.

Bernard Clarke shows no remorse. On the contrary, he exhibits a 
certain pride in having tortured a "Nazi." Rupert Butler, likewise, 
finds nothing to criticize in that. Neither of them understands the 
importance of their revelations. They say that Höss was arrested on 
11 March, 1946, and that it took three days of torture to obtain "a 
coherent statement." They do not realize that the alleged "coherent 
statement" is nothing other than the lunatic confession, signed by 
their quivering victim on the l4th or l5th of March 1946, at 2:30 in 
the morning, which was to seal Höss' fate definitely, a confession 
which would also give definitive shape to the myth. The confession 
would also shape decisively the myth of Auschwitz, the supposed 
high-point of the extermination of the Jews, above all due to the 
alleged use of homicidal gas chambers.

On 11 March 1946, a Captain Cross, Bernard Clarke and four other 
intelligence specialists in British uniforms, most of them tall and 
menacing, entered the home of Frau Höss and her children.

The six men, we are told, were all "practised in the more 
sophisticated techniques of sustained and merciless investigation" 
(p. 235). Clarke began to shout:


If you don't tell us [where your husband is] we'll turn you over to 
the Russians and they'll put you before a firing-squad. Your son will 
go to Siberia.


Frau Höss broke down and revealed, says Clarke, the location of the 
farm where her husband was in hiding, as well as his assumed name: 
Franz Lang. And Bernard Clarke added:


Suitable intimidation of the son and daughter produced precisely 
identical information.


The Jewish sergeant and the five other specialists in third degree 
interrogation then left to seek out Höss, whom they surprised in the 
middle of the night, sleeping in an alcove of the room used to 
slaughter cattle on the farm.

Höss screamed in terror at the mere sight of British uniforms.

Clarke yelled "What is your name?"

With each answer of "Franz Lang," Clarke's hand crashed into the face 
of his prisoner. The fourth time that happened, Höss broke and 
admitted who he was.

The admission suddenly unleashed the loathing of the Jewish sergeants 
in the arresting party whose parents had died in Auschwitz following 
an order signed by Höss.

The prisoner was torn from the top bunk, the pyjamas ripped from his 
body. He was then dragged naked to one of the slaughter tables, where 
it seemed to Clarke the blows and screams were endless.

Eventually, the Medical Officer urged the Captain: "Call them off, 
unless you want to take back a corpse."

A blanket was thrown over Höss and he was dragged to Clarke's car, 
where the sergeant poured a substantial slug of whisky down his 
throat. Then Höss tried to sleep.

Clarke thrust his service stick under the man's eyelids and ordered 
in German: "Keep your pig eyes open, you swine."

For the first time Höss trotted out his oft-repeated justification: 
"I took my orders from Himmler. I am a soldier in the same way as you 
are a soldier and we had to obey orders."

The party arrived back at Heide around three in the morning. The snow 
was swirling still, but the blanket was torn from Höss and he was 
made to walk completely nude through the prison yard to his cell. (p. 
237)


So it is that Bernard reveals "It took three days to get a coherent 
statement out of [Höss]" (ibid.). This admission was corroborated by 
Mr. Ken Jones in an article in the Wrexham Leader. (October 17,1986):


Mr. Ken Jones was then a private with the fifth Royal Horse Artillery 
stationed at Heid[e) in Schleswig-Holstein. "They brought him to us 
when he refused to cooperate over questioning about his activities 
during the war. He came in the winter of 1945/6 and was put in a 
small jail cell in the barracks," recalls Mr. Jones. Two other 
soldiers were detailed with Mr. Jones to join Höss in his cell to 
help break him down for interrogation. "We sat in the cell with him, 
night and day, armed with axe handles. Our job was to prod him every 
time he fell asleep to help break down his resistance," said Mr. 
Jones. When Höss was taken out for exercise he was made to wear only 
jeans and a thin cotton shirt in the bitter cold. After three days 
and nights without sleep, Höss finally broke down and made a full 
confession to the authorities.


Clarke's statement, obtained under the conditions just described by 
bullies of British Military Security under the brutal inspiration of 
sergeant-interpreter Bernard Clarke, became Höss's first confession, 
the original confession indexed under the number NO-1210. Once the 
tortured prisoner had begun to talk, according to Clarke, it was 
impossible to stop him. Clarke, no more conscious in 1982 or 1983 
than in 1946 of the enormity of what he forced Höss to confess, goes 
on to describe a series of fictitious horrors presented here as the 
truth: Höss went on to tell how after the bodies had been ignited, 
the fat oozing from them was poured over the other bodies (!). He 
estimated the number of dead during just the period when he was at 
Auschwitz at two million (!); the killings reached 10,000 victims per 
day (!).

It was Clarke's duty to censor the letters sent by Höss to his wife 
and children. Every policeman knows that the power to grant or 
withhold permission to a prisoner to write to his family constitutes 
a psychological weapon. To make a prisoner "sing" it is sometimes 
sufficient to merely suspend or cancel that authorization. Clarke 
makes an interesting remark about the content of Höss's letters; he 
confides to us:


Sometimes a lump came to my throat. There were two different men in 
that one man. One was brutal with no regard for human life. The other 
was soft and affectionate. (p. 238)


Rupert Butler ends his narrative by saying that Höss sought neither 
to deny nor to escape his responsibilities. In effect, at the 
Nuremberg tribunal Höss conducted himself with a "schizoid apathy." 
The expression is that of the American prison psychologist, G.M. 
Gilbert, who was in charge of the psychological surveillance of the 
prisoners and whose eavesdropping aided the American prosecution. We 
can certainly believe that Höss was "split in two"! He had the 
appearance of a rag because they had turned him into a rag.

"Apathetic", writes Gilbert on page 229 of his book; "apathetic, he 
repeats on the following page; "schizoid apathy," he writes on page 
239 (Nuremberg Diary, 1947, Signet Book, 1961).

At the end of his trial at Cracow; Höss greeted his death sentence 
with apparent indifference, Rupert Butler comments as follows:


[Höss] reasoned that Allies had their orders and, that there could be 
absolutely no question of these not being carried out. (ibid.)


One could not say it any better. It seems that Rudolf Höss, like 
thousands of accused Germans turned over to the mercy of conquerors 
who were totally convinced of their own goodness, had quickly grasped 
that he had no other choice but to suffer the will of his judges, 
whether they came from the West or from the East.


=====  

Bernard Clarke is "today a successful businessman working in the 
south of England" (Legions of Death, 1983, p. 235). One can in fact 
say that it is his voice that was heard at Nuremberg on 15 April 
1946, when Assistant Prosecutor Amen read, piece by piece, to an 
astonished and overwhelmed audience, the supposed confession of 
Rudolf Höss. On that day was launched a lie of world-wide dimensions: 
the lie of Auschwitz. At the origins of that prodigious media event: 
several Jewish sergeants of British Military Security, including 
Bernard Clarke, "today a successful businessman working in the south 
of England."

The Auschwitz Myth

We have known for some time that the Auschwitz myth is of an 
exclusively Jewish origin. Arthur R. Butz has related the facts in 
his book, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, as has Wilhelm Stäglich 
in The Auschwitz Myth. The principal authors of the creation and the 
peddling of the "rumor of Auschwitz" have been, successively, two 
Slovaks, Alfred Wetzler (or Weczler) and Rudolf Vrba (or Rosenberg or 
Rosenthal); then a Hungarian, Rabbi Michael Dov Ber Weissmandel (or 
Weissmandl); then, in Switzerland, representatives of the World 
Jewish Congress like Gerhard Riegner, who were in touch with London 
and Washington; and finally Americans like Harry Dexter White, Henry 
Morgenthau Jr. and Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise. Thus was born the 
famous World Refugee Board Report on Auschwitz and Birkenau, 
published in Washington in November 1944. Copies of this report were 
included in the files of the judges advocate general in charge of 
prosecuting the Germans involved in the Auschwitz camp. It 
constituted the official version of the story of the alleged gassing 
of the Jews in that camp. Most probably it was used as a reference 
work by the inquirers-interrogators-torturers of "the Commandant of 
Auschwitz." All the names here mentioned are those of Jews.

Moreover we now see that Bernard Clarke, the first British torturer, 
was a Jew, The second British torturer, Major Draper (?), may also 
have been a Jew. The same for the two Americans: psychologist G.M. 
(Gustave Mahler) Gilbert and Colonel Harlan Amen. Finally, in Poland, 
Höss was faced with Polish Jews who treated him more or less the same 
way. When he wrote his "memoirs" it was under the supervision of 
instructing magistrate Jan Sehn, who was also probably a Jew.

Establishment historians dispute that Höss had been tortured and had 
confessed under duress. Since the publication of Rupert Butler's book 
in 1983, however, it is no longer possible for them to contest that. 
The Revisionists were right.

Since 1985 it is even less possible. In January-March 1985, the trial 
of Ernst Zündel, who was accused by a Jewish association and by the 
Crown of spreading Revisionist literature, took place in Toronto 
(Canada). Rudolf Vrba testified as a Crown witness. (He lives now in 
British Columbia). Affirmative and self assured as long as he 
answered the questions of the Crown, he suffered a spectacular rout 
when cross-examined by Ernst Zündel's lawyer, Doug Christie. For the 
first time since 1945 a Jewish witness to the alleged gassings in 
Auschwitz was asked to explain his affirmations and his figures. The 
result was so terrible for R. Vrba that finally the Crown itself gave 
a kind of coup de grace to its key witness. That unexpected event and 
some others (like the leading specialist of the Holocaust, Raul 
Hilberg, being caught red-handed in his lies) really made of the 
"Toronto Trial" the "Trial of the Nuremberg Trial."

The unintentional revelations of Rupert Butler in 1983 and unexpected 
revelations of the "Toronto Trial" in 1985 succeeded at last in 
showing entirely and clearly how the Auschwitz myth was fabricated 
from 1944 to 1947, to be exact from April 1944, when Rudolf Vrba and 
Alfred Wetzler are supposed to have escaped from Auschwitz to tell 
their story to the world up until April 1947, when Rudolf Höss was 
hanged after having supposedly told the same world his own story 
about Auschwitz.

It is remarkable that from beginning to end that story comes from 
essentially or perhaps even exclusively Jewish sources. Two Jewish 
liars (Vrba and Wetzler) from Slovakia convinced or seemed to have 
convinced other Jews from Hungary, Switzerland, United States, Great 
Britain, and Poland. This is not a conspiracy or a plot; it is the 
story of the birth of a religious belief: the myth of Auschwitz, 
center of the religion of the Holocaust.
