Zgram - Where Truth is Destiny: Now more than ever!
June 5, 2004
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
More yet from the "Holocaust 101" series.
[START]
3. The Revisionist claim: The numbers of "Holocaust" victims are
irresponsibly exaggerated.
The numbers game of alleged Jewish losses is indeed a vexing one.
Many, many people of all nationalities disappeared or perished in the
war and cannot be accounted for. Some lie in the ashes of Allied
bombings of German cities and buried beneath collapsed buildings;
others were incinerated in bomb-caused Allied firestorms; still
others perished in the Russian Gulags long after the shooting had
stopped.
It is unfair and incorrect to claim - as is routinely claimed - that
if a person cannot be accounted for, he or she perished due to
genocide - or, worse yet, due to gassings.
In fact, the "Holocaust" is the best example of ". . . death proved
by the stories of million of survivors."
Does that not make you think?
The media is full of "survivor" organizations existing in every major
city of the Western World - from Toronto to Johannesburg; from Rio de
Janeiro to Los Angeles. ()
If so many millions of Jewish people died at the hands of the
Germans, why are there so many survivors? (Ingrid's comment: Norman
Finkelstein's mother, for one, wanted to know)
Aficionados of the "Holocaust" have often called Jacob Robinson a
"historian" and "internationalist jurist" and referred to him as a
prime source of authoritative information on what happened to the
Jews.
Jacob Robinson was, in fact, a cunning East European Jewish shyster
with a diabolical plan and agenda. He was the inventor/creator of the
"revolutionary concept" of the idea of the Nuremberg Trial for
Germany's leaders and the German Reparations scheme.
According to Nahum Goldman, former President of the World Jewish Congress,
". . . Apart from my encounter with the survivors of the
concentration camps after the liberation, I only returned officially
to Germany in order to meet Chancellor Adenauer and open negotiations
about reparations. These reparations constitute an extraordinary
innovation in terms of international law.
Until then, when a country lost a war, it paid damages to the victor,
but it was a matter between states, between governments. Now for the
first time a nation was to give reparations either to ordinary
individuals or to Israel, which did not legally exist at the time of
Hitler's crimes. All the same, I must admit that the idea did not
come from me.
During the war the WJC (World Jewish Congress) had created an
Institute of Jewish Affairs in New York (its headquarters are now in
London). The directors were two great Lithuanian Jewish jurists,
Jacob and Nehemiah Robinson. Thanks to them, the Institute worked out
two completely revolutionary ideas: the Nuremberg tribunal and German
reparations. (Goldman, Nahum, The Jewish Paradox, Grosset & Dunlap,
1978, p 122)
Put two and two together.
Reparation claims are based on number of victims - somewhat like an
insurance claim after a plane crash and a subsequent fire. It pays to
keep these numbers high. No mystery to that.
Now visualize an insurance company that has to pay for a fire in
which, supposedly, some family members perished. It does not take a
rocket scientist to figure out that if the insurance company is
prevented from checking vital documents, such as: ". . . who was
actually booked on that plane. . . ? - a non-existent "victim" uncle
or aunt could conceivably materialize, defrauding the insurance
company. These things are known to have been done to some insurance
companies.
To trot out the old canard of the "Protocol of Wannsee" (of Jan. 20,
1942) allegedly outlining the Nazi plans to "annihilate the European
Jews" shows real chutzpah. Even the Jewish Holocaust expert Yehuda
Bauer of Hebrew University in Jerusalem has said that Wannsee was a
meeting, but "hardly a conference," and that ". . . little of what
was said there was executed in detail."
Here is the quote in full, under the title: Wannsee's importance
rejected, in the Canadian Jewish News, Jan. 30, 1992:
"The public still repeats, time after time, the silly story that at
Wannsee the extermination of the Jews was arrived at. Wannsee was but
a stage in the unfolding of the process of mass murder." (Canadian
Jewish News, Jan. 30, 1992)
According to the New York Times, November 12, 1989, (Bauer) added
when chided saying that he would not want to ". . . add grist for the
mills of the deniers of the Holocaust: "They can add, you know. . ."
(Auschwutz Revisionism: An Israeli Scholar's Case, NYT, Nov 12, 1989)
They did, and they do.
By doing so, they "shrunk the Holocaust." Let us take Auschwitz, for
example. According to a December 10, 1995 summary prepared by Dr.
Faurisson, this is what the claims look like:
9,000,000 persons___according to the documentary film Nuit et
Brouillard(Tr.'s Note: "Night and Fog", title used in the
English-speakingworld) (1955), whose historical advisers were the
historian Henri Micheland the woman historian Olga Wormser-Migot
8,000,000 persons___according to the French War Crime Research Office
andthe French War Crime Information Service) (1945)

(1945),according to confessions attributed to some SS members and
according tothe newspaper Le Monde (1978), which was adding: "of whom

4,500,000 persons ___according to Henryk Mandelbaum (1945)
4,000,000 persons___according to a Soviet document of which the
Nurembergtribunal took "judicial notice". This figure was inscribed
nineteentimes, with a commentary in as many different languages, on
the Auschwitz-Birkenaumonument. It was repeated by a sizable number
of persons, including thePolish historian Franciszek Piper. It was to
be declared false in 1990 andreplaced, on the monument, in 1995, by
the figure of 1,500,000 with theconcurrence of the same F. Piper for
whom this figure is a maximum whilethe minimum figure is of
1,100,000. According to Miriam Novitch (1967),of the 4,000,000 dead,
2,700,000 were Jewish. According to Rabbi Moshe Weiss(1991), more
than 4,000,000 persons died at Auchwitz, of whom 3,000,000Jews
3,500,000 persons___according to the Dictionnaire de la langue
française (Tr.'s Note: Dictionary of the French language) published

The ever-shrinking numbers of Auschwitz "victims" should give
skeptical people - people who apply common sense to this topic -
pause to ponder. Yehuda Bauer, Jewish Holocaust scholar, admitted the
falsity of the 4 million figure in a November 1989 article, where he
comments on the cruel manipulation of the numbers of victims in
Auschwitz by Zionists and Communist propagandists and liars alike.
(Auschwitz Revisionism: An Israeli Scholar's Case. NYT, November 12,
1989.)
Let's mention the Red Cross here as well. This so-called
"humanitarian" organization has much to do with the fact that the
numbers are so unreliable.
The Red Cross played an ignoble role during and especially after the
war when dealing with alleged "Nazi atrocity" stories and statistics.
(See sworn testimony of Charles Biederman during the Zündel Trial.
Did Six Million Really Die? Report of the Ev idence in the Canadian
"False News" Trial of Ernst Zündel - 1988, Edited by Barbara
Kulaszka, pp 80-84. It is worth reading in its entirety.)
Below I am merely offering two excerpts of this testimony, as
summarized in the Zündel Transcripts by Barbara Kulaszka in her book:
"Did Six Million Really Die?":
"Access to the documents was limited by the Bonn Agreements of 1955
to former persecutees and their legal successors on the grounds that
the documents were all person-related and therefore not open to the
public. (11-2497, 2498). The wording used in the Bonn Agreement was
that the archives were "only to be evaluated in the interests of the
former persecutees themselves or their successors." (12-2676). The
only exception to this rule, as provided for under the agreements,
was that representatives of any of the ten Allied governments of the
supervisory body had the right to inspect the documents. (11-2497)
Any application by one of the ten governments for access was reviewed
by the Director of the ITS (Internal Tracing System); if the Director
felt it was not justified, he could submit the application to the
International Commission for the final decision. He could not
remember any request by Israel being denied. (12-2711)"
In other words, Israel can look at the data, but German researchers
and historians cannot. Revisionists cannot. Ernst Zündel cannot. Mr.
Wiesenthal, presumably, can.
The Kulaszka trial transcript summary goes on to say:
Biedermann confirmed that as of December 31, 1983, the total number
of deaths registered with the Special Registry Office and various
other registry offices was 373,468. (11-2515) This figure represented
death certificates issued pursuant to received applications and was
based, with respect to the Special Registry Office, on camp records
kept by the Nazis during the war. (11-2516, 2517)
Biedermann agreed that at an international conference held by the
International Committee of the Camps in Vienna in 1977, the then
director of the ITS, Albert de Cocatrix, gave a speech which
indicated that as of December 31, 1976 a total of 357,190 names of
persons who died in concentration camps had been registered at the
Special Registry Office. Biedermann confirmed that these numbers
actually came from the ITS. (12-2640 to 2646) He pointed out,
however, that these figures resulted from applications. If an entire
family had died, there was no one to make an application for a death
certificate. Secondly, the ITS had complete documentation for only
two of the twenty-two concentration camps. For the remainder, it had
either partial or no documentation. Therefore, if an application was
made for a person who had allegedly died in one of these camps, the
ITS would not have the records to justify a request to the Special
Registry Office for a death certificate. (12-2647)
It is really ridiculously simple. The numbers game on which the
reparations claims are based could be laid to rest tomorrow.
The Red Cross via its International Tracing Service in Arolson,
headed by Red Cross delegate, Charles Biedermann, has important
information on hand of every concentration camp inmate who ever went
through a German prisoner-of-war or civilian concentration camp.
These 14 million pieces of information could, with today's computer
technology, OCR software etc. be sifted, categorized, analyzed and
double-checked. In a very short time, this information could be made
available to the public, which would put an effective end to all the
abuse, misinterpretation, fudging and falsifying of alleged and real
numbers of "Nazi victims."
The German Government can and should have checked the inmates'
records 50 years ago. Why is this not being done? A good guess is
that then it would have been revealed for all the world to see that
false reparations claims were made and billions were paid and have
been fraudulently collected for a long time.
There are letters by the Arolson Tracing Service which at least give
a partial glimpse at what is available in those archives there. The
Red Cross,by accepting the currently worded 10-nation agreement or
mandate with which it administers this macabre but important legacy
of WW II, has become a willing accomplice in obfuscating research and
is, in fact, hiding historical facts.
I am on record saying that the Red Cross is deliberately
stone-walling an honest investigation into one of the saddest
chapters in human history. If the Red Cross does not like this
justified criticism, let them get out of the business of hiding the
truth from the public looking for answers.
