Mr. Dennis Shaw, who gentlemanly-fashion made Mr. Keller of the Toronto Globe and Mail fall mute and, so we hope, pensive about some well-known Holocaust shibboleths, has taken on another writer - this time one Hubert Byer of the Nanaimo Times.
On August 9, 1994 Mr. Beyer let loose with the following: "No, no, no - Ernst Zundel doesn't deserve to be a citizen of Canada". Having saved that article and, in response, Mr. Shaw wrote recently:
"I have been waiting since 1994 to nail a local columnist for what he wrote about Ernst. It occurs to me that Ernst may have a source of income here.
"The article below was probably syndicated in several newspapers, and similar incidents may have occurred in papers Canada-wide, so he might make settlements with quite a few papers and writers for libel ? Or perhaps a complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission :)? <end>
The Beyer article itself is Poison Pen City, and I won't cite it here. But Mr. Beyer can be reached at hubert@coolcom.com (Let ***that*** melt on your tongue...!)
Here's Dennis:
Good Day Mr Beyer
I have in front of me your column dated 9 Aug 94, published in the Nanaimo Times, and titled "No, Zundel does not deserve to be a citizen of Canada". I have saved it because you are a man of principle, and you are against Zundel because he denies "the holocaust". You are a German who says proudly in your column "I cannot close my eyes to the truth".
Not knowing what to think on this topic, I recently asked a journalist like you (an editor of the Globe and Mail) to tell me what the Jews say is the truth about "the holocaust". Like you, he claimed that 6 million Jews were killed. Because he is a Jew I asked him for authoritative statements from Yad Vashem, the world center of Holocaust studies, so that I could show "holocaust deniers" were they are wrong. It seems he can not do that because he never replied to me again.
So I went myself to Jewish sources. And now I want to tell you that two of Yad Vashem's top experts consider that when Hubert Beyer told his readers in 1994 that "6 million Jews were slaughtered in Auschwitz, Belsen-Belsen (which I think should be Bergen-Belsen), Treblinka, and other death camps", that Hubert Beyer was the one telling the lie, not Zundel. I am sure that you are spreading a lie unwittingly, not deliberately - the Jews told you 6 million and you naturally believed them.
You wrote in 1994 that "Zundel is guilty of a most vile crime: attempting to poison minds". Unhappily, Mr Beyer, you have unknowingly helped to poison the minds of my four children who were taught in school that 6 million were killed.
You wrote in 1994 "...How do I describe my loathing when I see a man like Zundel abuse the right to free speech...", but Zundel suffered two long trials for saying exactly what Yad Vashem says today. Yad Vashem agrees and admits that Zundel was absolutely right and correct and truthful back in 1988 - the figure 6 million is a myth. Can a man abuse free speech when he tells the truth ?
You wrote in 1994 "I have seen the newsreel footage taken by war correspondents who were with the advancing Allied troops that liberated the death camps". But recently an official of the Washington, DC, Holocaust Memorial Council admitted that "... American troops did claim that people were gassed at Dachau, but after historical study the consensus seems to be that people were executed in many ways, but not gassed". So was the message of the newsreels distorted?
And the Jewish Princeton historian Arno Mayer admitted in his book that more Jews perished at Auschwitz as a result of typhus and other natural causes than were executed. What you called in 1994 "... the nightmarish scenes of corpses piled high..." was the result of typhus. Typhus was the result of Allied bombing which stopped the delivery of Zyklon B to the camps for fumigating. Is Arno Mayer telling the truth, or not ?
You wrote in 1994 "...I have read Anne Frank's diary many times and cried...". You must know by this time that a ball point pen was used to write the diary, and that the Jews themselves are arguing over who wrote it.
In conclusion, if Yad Vashem admits that Zundel was telling the truth, then Hubert Beyer must also admit it, because you have said in print that "I cannot close my eyes to the truth". I ask you Mr Beyer, will you now offer another column to the Nanaimo Times putting the record straight ? I remind you that in 1994 you wrote "...there are laws that transcend justice systems and criminal codes, laws of truth and decency, virtue and righteousness".
I don't think that you should wait for Mr Zundel to start a libel suit against you. I think you should do the decent thing. Jewish Professor Yehuda Bauer used to believe the 6 million figure, but now is quoted by the Northern California Jewish Bulletin as saying "We do not have to go on believing untrue stories", so you will be in impeccable company.
Dennis (father of 4 brainwashed children) A reply would be appreciated.
(Below is honest Jewry's latest version of the holocaust, in case you need to write what they say in order to save your job.)
Jewish Authorities on the Jewish holocaust
One of Israel's leading holocaust scholars is Yehuda Bauer. I believe that he was quoted in the New York Times on 12 Nov 89 as saying that "the number of Jews murdered at Auschwitz is far fewer than commonly reported".
A leading Jewish historian, Raoul Hilberg, is quoted as saying in an interview with the Jerusalem Post on 28 Jun 86 "the 6 million figure was adopted very early. It was based mainly on hearsay evidence... maybe we have to rethink the figure of 6 million".
It seems to me that the Auschwitz State Museum in Poland, along with Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Center, announced in July 1990 that altogether perhaps one million people died there. (not 4 million)
I am told that the London Daily Telegraph quoted Schmuel Krakowski, who is head of the Yad Vashem memorial for Jewish victims of the holocaust, as saying that the new Polish figures of less than one million Jews deported to Auschwitz are correct, and that 300 000 at most perished there. The Daily Telegraph seems to have stated that the concrete plaques at Auschwitz claiming four million victims have been removed from the Auschwitz museum.
Apparently Princeton University history professor Arno Mayer, who is Jewish, recently wrote a book in which he acknowledges that more Jews perished at Auschwitz as a result of typhus and other natural causes than were executed.
Steven Vitto, a library technician for the Holocaust Memorial Council in Washington, DC, appears to have written in a letter to a member of the public that "...American troops did claim that people were gassed at Dachau, but after historical study the consensus seems to be that people were executed in many ways, but not gassed..."
I believe that the Princeton historian, Professor Arno Mayer (who is Jewish), wrote in the late 1980's that "sources for the study of the gas chambers are at once rare and unreliable".
Holocaust historians rely heavily on so-called "survivor testimony" to support the extermination story, but Samuel Gringautz apparently wrote in January 1950 (Jewish Social Studies (New York), Vol 12, page 65), "most of the memoirs and reports [of "holocaust survivors"] are full of preposterous verbosity, exaggeration, dramatic effects, overestimated self-inflation, philosophizing, lyricism, unchecked rumors, bias, and partisan attacks."
A leading German newspaper (die Welt, 4 Jun 95) seems to me to have run the following statement taken from the pages of a leading Israeli newspaper (Ma'ariv, Tel Aviv) - "It is well known that the Germans never made soap from the fat or ashes of the Jews - this is a legend. If Jews can lie about soap, our haters will say, they are also capable of lying when it comes to gas chambers and crematoria".
Jewish historian Walter Laqueur is reported as acknowledging in his 1980 book, "The Terrible Secret", that the human soap story has no basis in reality.
Gitta Sereny, another Jewish historian, is reported as noting in her book, "Into That Darkness", that "the universally accepted story that the corpses were used to make soap and fertilizer is finally refuted by the generally very reliable Ludwigsburg Central Authority for Investigation into Nazi Crimes".
About the soap story, on 27 Apr 90 the Northern California Jewish Bulletin appears to have printed a Jewish Telegraphic Agency story on Professor Yehuda Bauer, quoting him as saying "We do not have to go on believing untrue stories".
I believe that on 26 Nov 1987 a H Shapiro wrote a piece about Immanuel Jakobovits on page one of the Jerusalem Post (Israel's English language newspaper, owned by Conrad Black) Immanuel Jakobovits is the chief rabbi of Great Britain and apparently described the holocaust affair as "an entire industry, with handsome profits for writers, researchers, film-makers, monument makers, museum planners, and even politicians". He seems to have added that some rabbis and theologians are "partners in this big business".
Finally, I am told that a Professor W D Rubenstein, of Australia, has acknowledged that "if the Jewish holocaust can be shown to be a Zionist myth, then the strongest of all weapons in Israel's propaganda armory collapses". <end>
Thought for the Day:
"It's not possible to conduct a discussion if one side systematically ignores every argument and question addressed to it, doesn't agree to any rules as basis for collecting and analysing facts, and simply goes on doing what it does best. That is posting the same thing over and over like a weird robot in loop."
