<description><![CDATA[Maurice Clemmons, Black Manchurian Candidate Implanted with a Jesus Christ Persona Maurice Clemmons ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_104" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/clemmons.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-104" title="clemmons" src="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/clemmons.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="353" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Maurice Clemmons, Black Manchurian Candidate Implanted with a Jesus Christ Persona</p></div>
<p>Maurice Clemmons has all the earmarks of a classic Black Manchurian Candidate who just happened to slip through all the cracks in law like so many other governmental agent provocateurs and assassins. According to research, most Black Manchurian Candidates are individuals with created dissociative identity disorders that fall within the following five criteria:</p>
<p>1. Dissociate identity disorder created deliberately. Candidate usual has had contact with OSS, CIA, BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, MK-ULTRA controllers or institutions or Military intelligence controllers or institutions, and prisons. Candidate’s contact may have been created through bloodlines, military recruitment, enlistment, imprisonment, or civilian employee of military institutions.</p>
<p>2. A new identity is implanted which includes multiple personalities. Candidate has sudden appearance of an unknown operative personality, or new behavior involving senseless and uncharacteristic violence.</p>
<p>3. Amnesia barriers are created. Candidate has had memory loss proximate, and during a specific operation.</p>
<p>4. Used in simulated or actual operations. Candidate carried out an operative or assassination, and killing(s) may have occurred during or close to national or state elections, or involved political, religious groups or figures.</p>
<p>5. Disposal after operation.  Candidate is killed or has had judge, or severely compromised jury trial, or guilty pleaded, declared insane or found suitable for commitment to mental institution, confined to solitary confinement in state or federal prison with restricted visitation with little or no access to inmate populations.</p>
<p>The Black Manchurian Candidate Criteria was expanded from the groundbreaking work of Colin A. Ross, M.D. in the operational use of multiple personality disorders by U.S. military and intelligence agencies.  <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn1">[1]</a>  So far Maurice Clemmons has substantially met at least 4 of 5 criterions for a Black Manchurian Candidate. </p>
<p><strong>First Criterion: MK ULTRA Institution Connection with CANDIDATE</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Military Intelligence Assassin &#38; Special Operation Bases</strong></p>
<p><em>Fort Lewis U.S. Army Base, Tacoma, Washington</em></p>
<p>First Earth Battalion (FEB) is a blend of Psi (psychokinesis, etc) and mind control out of Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Washington. FEB is an advanced version of the assassins created at the U.S. Naval Hospital Neuropsychiatric Laboratory in San Diego in the late 1970’s, which were replications of the CIA’s 1954 Artichoke project. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn2">[2]</a></p>
<p><em>McChord Air Force Base, Tacoma/Lakeland, Washington </em></p>
<p>Clemmons traveled almost 40 miles outside of Seattle to Tacoma-Lakeland, Washington to just happen to find 4 Lakeland/Parkland officers busy working on computers at a remote coffee shop; and just happened to kill all of them. Lakeland is a suburb of Tacoma.</p>
<p>McChord is a United States Air Force base in Pierce County, Washington of particular dubious military intelligence distinction. It is located adjacent to Lakewood where Clemmons allegedly killed the officers. It is about one mile south of Tacoma and 40 miles south of Seattle. It was named in honor of Colonel William Caldwell McChord, former Chief of the Training and Operations Division in HQ Army Air Corps.</p>
<p><strong>2. McChord Air Force Base &#38; Operation Northwoods: The Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars</strong></p>
<p>In 1986, a military training manual was found in a surplus copy machine from McChord entitled, The Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars (<em>SWFQW</em>). It was a politically biased technical instruction manual on how to justify, and how to selectively survive, human animal husbandry before the need for animal husbandry becomes unstably critical<strong>.</strong><a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn3">[3]</a><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The document proposed that the military industrial complex &#8220;race ahead of society and predict when society would arrive for capitulation. To predict when the herd would be ready to surrender their humanity to the psychopathic dictatorship.” </strong><a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn4">[4]</a><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em>“SWFQW </em>was a study in human nature; of motivation, psychological impulse and momentum, and force of habit; of control of social energy by influence, suggestion, and hypnosis; of the use of sociopathic processes to induce paranoid behavior; and so on.” <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn5">[5]</a><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em>SWFQW</em><strong> </strong>is a blueprint and training manual for a governmental illegal covert National Security Council (NSC) domestic psychological warfare operation called; Operation Northwoods, <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn6">[6]</a> being developed out of McChord.</p>
<p><strong>3. McChord Air Force Base &#38; HAARP </strong></p>
<p>“For four months, the Kuykendalls, the Prices and the McKays say, they’ve been harassed and threatened by mysterious cell phone stalkers who track their every move and occasionally lurk by their homes late at night, screaming and banging on walls.</p>
<p>Police can’t seem to stop them. The late-night visitors vanish before officers arrive. The families say investigators have a hard time believing the stalkers can control cell phones without touching them and suspect an elaborate hoax. Complaints to their phone companies do no good – the families say they’ve been told what the stalkers are doing is impossible.</p>
<p>It doesn’t feel impossible to Heather Kuykendall and her sister, Darci Price, who’ve saved and recorded scores of threatening voice mails, uttered in throaty, juvenile rasps stolen from bad horror films.</p>
<p>Price and Kuykendall have given the callers a name: “Restricted.” That’s the word that shows up on their caller ID windows: on the land lines at home, and on every one of their cell phones.</p>
<p>Their messages, left at all hours, threaten death – to the families, their children and their pets.”  <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn7">[7]</a></p>
<p>Richard Price, a member of one of the affected families, is an officer at McChord Air Force Base. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn8">[8]</a> A cell phone that can seemingly endlessly stalk and harass victims dementedly with screams, annoying noises, voices and threats are all U.S. Air Force HAARP known electronic magnetic (psychological warfare) technologies.<a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn9">[9]</a>  For an excellent primer on HAARP see Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory on HAARP, Tru TV. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn10">[10]</a><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>4. McChord Air Force Base &#38;</strong> <strong>the MK ULTRA Racial Killer</strong></p>
<p>Buford O. Neal Furrow, Jr. is a bloodline of a U.S. Army veteran and McChord Air Force Base decade’s old employee. On August 10, 1999, he traveled to Los Angeles with about $5,000 without any visible means of support to find a prostitute. Furrow had been in and out of mental institutions, including Western State Psychiatric Hospital, and had pass associations with Aryan Nations.</p>
<p>After allegedly failing to find a prostitute, he was suddenly triggered. In Granada Hills, Furrow shot a receptionist, a teenage counselor and three children at the North Valley Jewish Community Center. Furrow then held a Korean woman at gunpoint before commandeering her green Toyota Corolla. He drove around and allegedly killed a Filipino American postman. Twenty-two hours later, after he paid a Los Angeles cabby $800 to drive him to Las Vegas, he calmly walked into an FBI office and gave up.</p>
<p>Furrow had a National Security Council (NSC) e-mail address at McChord Air Force Base that was deleted a day after his arrest: <a href="mailto:NSC-McChord@DDN-CONUS.DDN.MIL">NSC-McChord@DDN-CONUS.DDN.MIL</a> <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn11">[11]</a></p>
<p>Furrow was an out of control MK-ULTRA sleeper zombie experiment from a National Security Council group at McChord Air Force Base that may have been accidently and suddenly triggered before his tracks could be veiled. </p>
<p><strong>5. Ft. Lewis, McChord, Furrow and the Assassination of Sharlona White</strong></p>
<p>Sharlona White, 33, had access to both military bases Ft. Lewis and McChord as a vendor of clothing and jewelry. Apparently, she had access to some information regarding the goings on at the bases or Western State Psychiatric Hospital.</p>
<p>On July 22, 2009, she was gunned down inside Ft. Lewis by Lafayette C. Meminger, 59, of Lakewood. Meminger had been Sharlona’s boyfriend at one time, but allegedly became obsessed with a breakup.</p>
<p>Meminger was a U.S. Army veteran (Sergeant First Class E7). It would be interesting to know if he was out of Ft. Lewis, too. Meminger also had been a security guard at Western State Psychiatric Hospital where Furrow had been interned. How Meminger cleared security at Ft. Lewis armed with a hand gun is a mystery. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn12">[12]</a> The military police said that Meminger turned the gun on himself and shot himself in the head. Witnesses stated that during the murder/suicide incident that there were at least 5 and at most 7 shots fired in rapid succession as if there had a fire fight. It sounds like an overkill; Sharlona and Meminger and any secrets that they may have had weren’t supposed to survive.</p>
<p><strong>Second Criterion: An Implanted New Identity in CANDIDATE</strong></p>
<p><em>Maurice Clemmons &#38; The Jesus Christ Persona</em></p>
<p>In June 2009, without any visible means of support, Maurice Clemmons and at least one other mind controlled individual traveled to New York to join Cyber-Prophet Bernard Jordan for his 50<sup>th</sup> Birthday Banquet. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn13">[13]</a></p>
<p>In a bizarre scene, an unidentified bemused and mystified individual with a faraway look associated with Clemmons told Prophet Jordan directly that Clemmons was Jesus Christ. Clemmons transformation to Jesus Christ appeared to have happened suddenly without explanation. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn14">[14]</a></p>
<p>Who paid for these bewildered individuals to travel to New York with hotel accommodations? During registration for the banquet, Prophet Jordan asked Clemmons how he found out about the affair; Clemmons’ responded that “God Told Me.”<a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn15">[15]</a> U. S. Air Force HAARP electro magnetic technologies have the capability to place voices in minds.</p>
<p><strong>Third Criterion: CANDIDATE’S Created Amnesia Barriers  </strong></p>
<p>It is absolutely bizarre the way that police described Clemmons’ liquidation. It was as if Clemmons acted as if he wasn’t pursued for capital murder of four police officers. Darcus Allen, 38, Clemmons’ alleged get-away driver, told the judge at his arraignment that he didn&#8217;t know why he was in court. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn16">[16]</a> It will interesting if Allen maintains an amnesia barrier defense to the charges of being a accomplice to the murders.</p>
<p>According to police accounts, Seattle Traffic Officer Benjamin L. Kelly, spotted an abandoned car with its hood up and found the car had been reported stolen. As the officer sat in his patrol car doing paperwork on the stolen car, he noticed a man was approaching the driver&#8217;s side of the patrol car from behind. At dead of night at 2:45 a.m. in the morning, Kelly immediately recognized the man as matching the description of Clemmons and got out of his patrol car. He ordered the person to stop. He ordered the person to show his hands, that person would not show his hands, and also began to run away counterclockwise around the vehicle. The officer again told him to stop and he didn&#8217;t comply. He shot Clemmons dead. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn17">[17]</a></p>
<p>The police account defies common sense. Clemmons wanted for capital murder for 4 police officers instead of walking away from the stolen car and police officer casually strolled up to the officer and the car. The officer told Clemmons to show his hands instead put your hands in the air. Clemmons goes into a routine like out of a children’s playground game “Ring around the Roses (stolen car), the officer shot him dead.  </p>
<p>Clemmons behavior is not consistent with a wanted man. It is not consistent with a man that we are led to believe planned the successful “at random” ambush and killing of 4 lethally armed officers in bullet proof vests at least 40 miles away from his abode. If a man had the cunning and nerve to put off a daytime murder of 4 armed police offices, you would think that he had the common sense to avoid capture and getting shot dead playing “Ring around the Roses.” </p>
<p>Does the police account make any more sense if as they say Clemmons was armed with one of the officer’s weapons? Just think about it. Clemmons had not only the skill and know how to kill 4 armed officers in bullet proof vests, but he had time, cunning and the utter coolness to disarm them too! An early account of the crime noted that they believed that there were at least two assailants, one black and the other white.</p>
<p>One of the officers that Clemmons allegedly killed was Stg. Mark Renninger. Renninger was a former Army Ranger trained out of Ft. Benning, GA. He was a nationally known SWAT team trainer. Stg. Renninger was also a Second Ranger Battalion veteran out of Ft. Lewis. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn18">[18]</a></p>
<p>Seattle Police Officer Benjamin L. Kelly, 39, is not a typical traffic patrol officer. Kelly is also an army veteran. It would be interesting to know if he is out of Ft. Lewis, too. Before joining the department in March 2005, Kelly was a special agent for the Washington State Gambling Commission. Earlier this year, a colleague nominated Kelly &#8211; whom fellow officers praised as a dedicated officer &#8211; for an award at the eighth annual Seattle Police Awards Banquet. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn19">[19]</a> I wonder why?</p>
<p><strong>Fourth Criterion: CANDIDATE Operative in Missions  </strong></p>
<p>Some are suggesting that Clemmons was triggered to sabotage the political ambitions of Mike Huckabee, but it isn’t that simple. There is a much more sinister and fascist military intelligence objective behind Clemmons that is more consistent with the illegal domestic psychological warfare operations of Operation Northwoods and <em>SWFQW</em>.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that four white polices officers are senselessly slain and a crazed out of control black ex-felon fiend looms over their deaths. With the sensational and mass media appeal D.C. Sniper and Clemmons’ police killing incidents; the military industrial complex is conditioning the herd, people of the United States, to be ready to surrender their humanity to a psychopathic dictatorship like something out of Nazi Germany to protect them from Muslim and fiends of color.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>The Fifth Criterion: The Final Disposal of the CANDIDATE </strong></p>
<p>The Fort Lewis, Tacoma-Seattle, Washington area has produced over 30 of some of America’s most prolific mass-serial murderers over the past decades, including the late John Allen Muhammad, The DC Sniper.</p>
<p>Some of the most notorious mass killers coming out of the Fort Lewis, Tacoma-Seattle were Harvy L. Carignan, The Want Ad Killer; James Dwight Canady; Warren Forrest; Navy enlistee Gary G. Grant; Ted Bundy; James Elledge; James Edward Ruzicka; The Phantom Sniper: Gary A. Taylor; William Batten; Robert Lee Yates Jr.; The Hillside Strangler: Kenneth Bianchi; Morris Frampton; Stanley Bernson; Lewiston Valley Killer: Identity unknown; The I-5 Killer: Randy Woodfield; Martin Lee Sanders; Coin Shop Killer: Charles Sinclair; and The .22 Caliber Killer: Identity unknown, Spokane. <a href="http://mindcontrolblackassassins.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn20">[20]</a></p>
<p>Clemmons is dead and he has no story to tell about Ft. Lewis, McChord or his mind control programming or the God that sent him to New York. Just like Lovelle Mixon of Oakland that even the OPD rank and file doesn’t believe that Mixon had the weapons, skill or opportunity to shoot four armed seasoned sergeants with bullet proof vests in the back, dead men tell no tells.</p>
<p>Oakland’s Mixon and now Seattle area Clemmons, the public perceptions are that they are the lowest of the low violent ex-felon career criminals and child rapists that should have been warehoused and worked to death just as if they were in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buchenwald, Dachau, Treblinka or even Jonestown.  </p>
<p><strong> </strong>Is it so hard to believe that Maurice Clemmons was one of these MK ULTRA “racial matters” experimental zombies like Furrow, John Allen (Williams) Muhammad programmed out of Fort Lewis Army Base and McChord Air Force Base by the NSC as a continuation of the Northwoods Project to foment national racial discord as a prelude to <strong>the people of the United States surrendering their humanity to a psychopathic dictatorship like something out of Nazi Germany to protect them from Muslim and fiends of color.</strong>?</p>
<p><strong>Follow the money. Find out who Clemmons’ God was; and ask yourself “Who Benefits?”</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[MUNICH, Germany (WJC)&#8211;The trial of Ukrainian-born Ivan Demjanjuk, 89, who is accused of helpin]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>MUNICH, Germany (WJC)&#8211;The trial of Ukrainian-born Ivan Demjanjuk, 89, who is accused of helping to murder 27,900 Jews in the Sobibor Nazi death camp during World War II, began here Monday, marking the final chapter of 30 years of efforts to prosecute the retired autoworker.</p>
<p>Demjanjuk was deported from Ohio in May after his US citizenship was revoked. He could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted for his alleged activities as a guard at the Sobibor camp in occupied Poland.</p>
<p>However, in deference to his fragile health, the trial at the Munich state court has been limited to two 90-minute sessions per day. In the 1980s Demjanjuk was extradited by the United States for trial in Israel on charges that he was the notoriously brutal guard &#8220;Ivan the Terrible&#8221; at the Treblinka camp He was sentenced to death in 1988 for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and spent seven years in prison until Israel&#8217;s Supreme Court in 1993 overturned the conviction. It ruled that another person, not Demjanjuk, was actually &#8220;Ivan the Terrible.&#8221;</p>
<p>Demjanjuk, a former Soviet Red Army soldier, is now accused of volunteering to serve as a guard under the Nazi SS after being taken prisoner by the Nazis in 1942. According to the prosecutors’ indictment, he served as a low-ranking guard at Sobibor which meant – even with no living witnesses who can implicate him in specific acts of brutality or murder – he had  pushed thousands of Jewish men, women and children to their death in the gas chambers. Demjanjuk maintains he was never at Sobibor and questions the authenticity of the main piece of evidence – an SS identity card that prosecutors say features a photo of a young Demjanjuk.</p>
<p>The trial, which has attracted large media interest, is expected to last until May 2010. Over 30 people are listed as joint plaintiffs and expected to testify about what happened at Sobibor, where 250,000 people were murdered.</p>
<p>Thomas Blatt, whose younger brother and parents were killed at Sobibor, traveled from his American home to follow the trial. “It is important to hear the testimony of those times, for young people to truly know the meaning of the hell on earth that was Sobibor. The stink of carbon monoxide, the naked little children going to be gassed, the flames that licked out of the furnace chimney as all you knew and loved evaporated before your eyes. Demjanjuk is not an old man who deserves pity but who should come to terms with what he did,” he told the British newspaper ‘Daily Mirror’.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><strong><a href="http://polinformazione.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/demjanjuk.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-609" title="demjanjuk" src="http://polinformazione.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/demjanjuk.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="191" /></a></strong>Ripartito oggi il processo a John Demjanjuk.</strong> L&#8217;udienza si è tenuta a Monaco di Baviera e l &#8216;ex nazista, ormai 90enne, viene accusato dalla giustizia tedesca di essere il boia di Sobibor e Treblinka, di aver concorso allo sterminio di decine di migliaia ebrei nei lager polacchi oltre che di essere stata la guardia di un altro campo, Majdanek. Nel balletto delle cifre totale c&#8217;è molta confusione e preferiamo non sbilanciarci. Demjanjuk ha trascorso più di 50 anni negli Stati Uniti dove era riuscito a fuggire nel 1952 rifacendosi una vita lavorando in una fabbrica di auto. Dopo 30 anni e vari escamotage legali, Israele lo accusò di essere il misterioso <a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,978969-2,00.html" target="_blank"><em>&#8220;Ivan il Terribile&#8221;</em></a> e nel 1988 lo condannò a morte, ma la sentenza fu annullata nel 1993 quando vennero alla luce documenti sovietici e la testimonianza di una ex guardia secondo cui il boia di Treblinka era probabilmente un’altra persona, ovvero Ivan Marchenko (secondo alcuni ucciso nella rivolta di Treblinka mentre, secondo altri, fu visto per l&#8217;ultima volta in Yugoslavia nel 1944 e non si sa se sia  ancora in vita; forse negli Stati Uniti, in Argentina o in Croazia. Addirittura si pensa che Marchenko disertò unendosi ai partigiani di Tito). Gli inquirenti israeliani affermarono che l&#8217;imputato utilizzò il cognome della madre, che era appunto Marchenko, per entrare negli Stati Uniti. Ma Demjanjuk affermò di aver utilizzato un cognome falso, proprio quel cognome che  risulta molto diffuso in Ucraina.</p>
<p><strong>Altre notizie sulla vita di Demjanjuk.</strong> Ex membro dell&#8217;Armata Rossa, venne catturato dai nazisti in Crimea nel &#8216;42 e come prigioniero di guerra a Chelmno vi rimase fino al &#8216;44 riuscendo poi a sopravvivere solo alle dipendenze del generale sovietico Andrey Vlasov che collaborerà con la Germania nazista divendo promotore di un armata di volontari alleata coi nazisti che combattesse contro il bolscevismo moscovita. In seguito fu assegnato ai campi di concentramento dopo un &#8220;addestramento&#8221; a Trawniki.</p>
<p><strong> Il nodo centrale della questione è: giusto processare un 90enne in evidente stato di malattia?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://polinformazione.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/1239743143407.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-613" title="Demjanjuk_wheelchair" src="http://polinformazione.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/1239743143407.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="158" /></a></p>
<p>L&#8217;anziano soffre infatti di leucemia ma la giustizia tedesca ha già dimostrato di non perdonare: in passato venne già condannato un altro 90enne, Josef Scheungraber. Il 90enne ha sempre negato di essere mai stato a Sobibor mentre i familiari delle vittime e i gruppi ebraici hanno commentato che non è mai troppo tardi per fare giustizia e che quello di Demjanjuk è solo un simbolo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/11/28/ap/world/main5811540.shtml" target="_blank"><strong>Il documento di Demjanjuk è falso o autentico?</strong></a><br />
Dall&#8217; Urss, il Kgb, spedì una carta di identità con la foto di Demjanjuk e la qualifica di guardia. L&#8217; esperto piu&#8217; famoso d&#8217; America, che in mezzo secolo ha vinto tutte le cause in tribunale, nella sua perizia <a href="http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/1992/dicembre/07/fermate_Boia_co_0_92120718723.shtml" target="_blank">avrebbe dimostrato</a> che è un falso. Le spille della cucitrice non coinciderebbero e dalla foto e si vedrebbe che il timbro sulla foto di Demjanjuk appaia <a href="http://www.crimefilenews.com/2009/04/theyre-killing-john-demjanjuk-once.html" target="_blank">falsificato</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://polinformazione.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/image5818768.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-603" title="Demjanjuk_document_false" src="http://polinformazione.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/image5818768.jpg?w=263" alt="" width="263" height="300" /></a><br />
I pubblici ministeri hanno basato parte delle accuse sulla carta d&#8217;identità, ma gli avvocati della difesa hanno ribattuto che la scheda è stata <a href="http://thewebsafe.tripod.com/williamflynn.htm" target="_blank">falsificata da parte delle autorità sovietiche</a> per screditare Demjanjuk. La fotografia, così come le firme di vari ufficiali nazisti che hanno deposto, sono state dichiarate autentiche. La carta e l&#8217;inchiostro sulla carta sono stati testati da esperti di fama internazionale che hanno confermato che la scheda è autentica e che la presenza dell&#8217;ex nazista è stata registrata nel campo di addestramento di Trawniki. L&#8217;originale della scheda è stato presentato in tribunale in Israele come un documento fornito dai sovietici. Riguardo alla cicatrice sotto l&#8217;ascella, Demjanjuk ha ammesso che era un tatuaggio SS, che ha rimosso dopo la guerra. Durante il processo, Demjanjuk è stato ancora una volta riconosciuto dalla foto di Otto Horn, una ex guardia nazista di Treblinka.</p>
<blockquote><p>Secondo il magistrato tedesco Kurt Schrimm:<br />
<em>&#8220;Per la prima volta abbiamo trovato anche gli elenchi dei nomi delle persone che Demjanjuk ha personalmente condotto nelle camere a gas&#8221;</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Un caso veramente spinoso e paradossale. Che su Treblinka la giustizia abbia preso un grosso abbaglio? 5 testimoni degli eventi hanno però riconosciuto Demjajuk a Treblinka. Se si tratti del boia di Treblinka o del boia di Sobibor poco importa. Il fatto che lascia perplessi è che se l&#8217;ex nazista fosse stato catturato nell&#8217;immediato o poco dopo il processo di Norimberga, tutto sarebbe stato accettabile e avrebbe avuto senso. Tutto ciò ci sembra una dimostrazione di forza del <em>&#8220;partito della vendetta&#8221;</em>, degli inquisitori, che a tutti i costi vogliono la sua testa e poco importa se è possibile che Demjanjuk, un 90enne malato,  forse non possa arrivare vivo alla sentenza finale del processo (prevista per maggio).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>[The following post is written by one my Animal Law students who prefers to remain anonymous --dnc]<br />
</strong></p>
<p>I read an article recently that really offended me. The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/22/opinion/22steiner.html">article </a>was written on November 21, 2009 by Gary Steiner and was published in the New York Times Op-Ed section (Steiner&#8217;s piece has already been discussed  on this blog <a href="http://animalblawg.wordpress.com/?s=steiner">here</a>).</p>
<p>The first line in this article that bothered me actually did not originate from him. He quotes Issac Bashevis Singer in his story “The Letter Writer” as saying that the killing of animals for food is the “eternal Treblinka.” For those of you who are not aware, Treblinka was a Nazi extermination camp. In one year there were 850,000 people killed there. The problem I have with Singer’s comparison is that there was no benefit whatsoever to the Nazis by killing these people. Of course many Animal Rights activists do not think it is right to kill animals for human benefit, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone who denies that the humans who do kill animals gain a benefit from them. In fact, I think the whole issue is whether it is right for humans to kill animals for their benefit. You may not feel the benefit is justified, but we are not talking about wanton slaughter like there was in Treblinka.</p>
<p>Please just read this short article about Treblinka at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treblinka_extermination_camp">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treblinka_extermination_camp</a>, and then I feel that you will agree that to even repeat this ridiculous comparison destroys any validity that could possibly have come out of this article. That is my problem with Steiner. What would possess him to read this ridiculous comparison and then quote it? Obviously he read it and said something to the effect of “hey, wait a second, that’s right. Slaughtering animals for a benefit to human’s is exactly the same as a mass extermination of humans for absolutely no reason.” And then he decided to quote it. All I can say to him is, well I think Abraham Lincoln said it best, sometimes it is “better to remain silent and be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”</p>
<p><!--more-->The next part of the article that bothered me was a line where he wrote “Let me be candid: By and large, meat-eaters are a self-righteous bunch.” I am sorry but that line is a bunch of baloney (soy baloney of course). We meat eaters are many many things, but self-righteous is not one of them. Gary Steiner spends the entire article telling us how we, as meat eaters, are trying to ease our guilt by buying free range turkeys and eggs and then proceeds to tell us that the few attempts we are making at putting our money where your mouths are is not good enough, and THEN he has the nerve to call us self-righteous. Excuse me Mr. Steiner, but how can you tell us that what we are doing is not good enough for you and in the same breath call us self-righteous. Maybe it is because of offensive people like yourself that there are not more people who care about your issues.</p>
<p>This reminds me of a situation where there is a pauper who goes to a rich person to collect money. As the rich person is about to give him the money the pauper starts yelling and cursing him, so of course the rich person does not give the pauper the money and the pauper then complains to anyone who will listen that the rich person doesn’t care for the poor. What you have to keep in mind is that for right or wrong, the animal rights cause is the pauper and if you are asking for the rich person’s help (i.e. the meat eaters) then insulting them is NOT the right way to go about it. We may be willing to help, but only if you can keep from insulting us long enough so that we will listen!!!</p>

<p><span style="color:#800000;">1993.08.18</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#003300;">On August 18, 1993 the Supreme Court of Israel sitting as the High Court of Justice gave its decision on 10 petitions brought by survivors of the Holocaust and others demanding that John (Ivan) Demjanjuk should be brought to trial on charges of war-crimes at Sobibor and other concentration camps. These petitions follow the decision of the Supreme Court to acquit Demjanjuk, by reason of doubt, of the brutal offenses attributed to Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">The court of three judges dismissed the petitions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Justice Schlomo Levin considered in detail the reasons set out in <span style="color:#ff0000;">the opinion of the Attorney-General which argued against bringing Demjanjuk to trial</span>. This opinion was based on four arguments:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color:#003300;">That <span style="color:#ff0000;">a further trial would infringe the rule of &#8216;double jeopardy&#8217; in that Demjanjuk would be standing trial for offenses in respect of which he had already been tried and acquitted</span>.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#003300;">That <span style="color:#ff0000;">the Supreme Court, in acquitting Demjanjuk of charges attributed to Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka, had stated that it did not think it reasonable to commence new proceedings against him</span>, in view of the seriousness of the offenses with which he had originally been charged and the nature and circumstances of the alternative charges.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#003300;">That <span style="color:#ff0000;">on the basis of the evidence available, it was unlikely that Demjanjuk would be convicted of the alternative charges</span>, and that risking a further acquittal was not in the public interest.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#003300;">That Demjanjuk was extradited form the United States specifically to stand trial for offenses attributed to Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka, and not for other alternative charges.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Justice Levin noted that under Israeli law, it was established that authority in criminal matters is vested with the Attorney-General, who is authorized to bring charges in any case where there is sufficient evidence, unless he believes that there is no public interst in bringing the case. He further noted that the Attorney-General has a wide discretion in making such a decision and that the Court should only intervene when the decision is so untenable as to be totally unreasonable.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Justice Levin went on to consider the arguments put forward by the Attorney-General. He found that <span style="color:#ff0000;">it was not unreasonable to consider that bringing charges against Demjanjuk might infringe the &#8216;double jeopardy&#8217; rule. Similarly, it was not unreasonable to estimate that chances of convicting Demnajuk were small, particularly in view of the fact that none of the survivors of the Sobibor camp had identified him</span>. </span></p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#000080;">Doctors Hide Faces in Shame</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">München, 2009.12. 01</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#003300;">[AP] John Demjanjuk, 89, was wheeled into the packed Munich state court and did not answer when presiding judge Ralph Alt asked if he could answer basic questions about himself. His left hand twitched occasionally and his mouth was open slightly.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">His lawyers portrayed him as a victim — of the Nazis and misguided German justice.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">A German doctor said that despite suffering from a bone marrow disease and other serious ailments he was able to face trial.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">&#8220;Given his now confirmed grave medical c<span style="color:#003300;">ondition and his resulting inability to fully defend himself, it is farcical for anyone to say he is fit for trial and malpractice for any doctor to recommend it,&#8221; said his son, John Demjanjuk Jr., in an e-mail sent from Ohio.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Prosecutor Hans-Joachim Lutz detailed how Jews were stripped of their belongings and clothes, then led naked into the gas chambers [<em>sic</em>] of Sobibor.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk was a Soviet soldier who was captured by the Germans, and spent most of the rest of the war in prison camps.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Prosecutors agree he was captured by t<span style="color:#003300;">he Germans in May 1942 but claim he accepted a deal to become a guard at a &#8217;special camp&#8217;, rather than face almost certain death as a P.O.W.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Lutz said Demjanjuk could have deserted, but chose to stay in the camp.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;"><span style="color:#003300;">&#8220;He willingly participated in the killing of the Je</span>ws because he wanted them dead for his own racist ideological reasons,&#8221; Lutz said.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Even if acquitted, Demjanjuk — who has been stripped of his U.S. citizenship — likely will have to remain in Germany.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Ulrich Busch, one of his attorneys, told the court that commanders in Sobibor had been acquitted in previous trials while Demjanjuk was being put on trial.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Prosecutors say he was stationed for six months at Sobibor, where he helped other guards herd people off railway carriages, force them to strip naked and enter a four-by-four meter gas chamber [<em>sic</em>]. Engine exhaust fumes were pumped in, causing a lethal mix of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide that killed after 20 to 30 minutes.</span></p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#000080;">Who needs a trial and &#8220;innocent until proven guilty&#8221; and all that nonsense when you can have slander from Allison Pearson in the Daily Mail? Pearson reports that some Jew was so pathetic that when an evil German gloated that his family had just gone up in smoke, the cowardly, selfish Jew just got back in line and &#8230; and did what? Just waited around until he also got to go &#8220;up in smoke in the gas chambers&#8221;? I thought they first buried the bodies, then months later dug them up and burnt them on outdoor grills? The official version records that female Jews burn better than men, but in another camp it was the opposite &#8212; biology and physics are such funny sciences. I guess that Jew&#8217;s family was in the Express Line. Good thing he survived the merciless death camp! But isn&#8217;t Pearson&#8217;s portrayal of Jews as miserable cowards somehow antishemitic?</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">The official story is that about 20 SS officers and 100-150 assistants, aided by 1000 Jews, forced up to 1,200 Jews at a time into 3 to 6 gas chambers, time after time, day after day, buried the bodies, dug them up again, burned them, then crushe<span style="color:#003300;">d their bones in the special Nazi bone-crushers. And in this way they killed about 300,000 passive, weak, pathetic, bovine Jews in 1942 and 1943.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">A Soviet Jew named Alexander Pechersky described the mass murders thusly:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#003300;">&#8220;At first glance, as one entered, it like a normal shower: hot and cold taps for running water, wash basins &#8230; as soon as everyone was inside, the doors slammed shut with a loud noise. Out of holes in the ceiling, a heavy, blackish substance poured down in spiral shapes&#8230;&#8221; [Alexander Pechersky, La rivolta di Sobibor, in Yuri Suhl, </span><em><span style="color:#003300;">Ed essi si ribellarono</span></em><span style="color:#003300;">, Milan, 1969, p. 31.]</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">According to Pechersky, in order to drown out the pitiful cries of their victims, the fiendish Germans kept a flock of geese at Sobibor which were made to quack very loudly whenever Jews were murdered with the magical, mysterious &#8220;blackish substance&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">Later these blackish-substance-shower-rooms transmogrified into gas chambers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">According to Poliakov, the murder device was a diesel motor (Léon Poliakov, </span><em><span style="color:#003300;">Bréviare de la Haine</span></em><span style="color:#003300;">, Éditions complexe, Paris, 1986, p. 224); Hilberg changed the diesel motor to a gasoline motor (Hilberg, p. 941.); the <em>Enzyklopaedie des Holocaust</em> declared <em>ex cathedra</em> that the murder weapon was a diesel motor (</span><em><span style="color:#003300;">Enzyklopaedie des Holocaust</span></em><span style="color:#003300;">, p. 1496); the München court seems unsure, or perhaps they have been directed by certain elders to establish a new version.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">The crafty krauts destroyed all of the evidence including millions of mortal remains, and all that remains of these killing camps at Belzec, Treblinka and Sobibor is one pair of little shoes.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>As Demjanjuk trial nears, prosecutors confident they can convict</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">By Toby Axelrod · <em>Jewish Telegraphic Agency ·</em> 2009.11.23</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Whether in a wheelchair or on his own two feet [dead or alive], John Demjanjuk will enter Munich District Court on Nov. 30 to stand trial for World War II-era [alleged] crimes against humanity.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">He is charged as an accessory to the [alleged] murder of [the round number of] 29,700 Jews at the Sobibor death camp in Poland [but for some strange reason he's not on trial in Poland].</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">The <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">trial</span> [ordeal], which some are billing [appropriate entertainment biz term] as the last major Nazi war crimes case, marks another landmark for Germany’s confrontation with its Nazi past.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">It will be the second war crimes trial for the 89-year-old Demjanjuk. [If found Not Guilty, he will be extradited to Bosnia to face trial for the Masonic assassination of  Erzherzog und Thronfolger Franz Ferdinand von Österreich-Ungarn. He is also a key suspect in the Talmudic slaughter of the Romanovs.]</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">In 1988, Israeli courts convicted Demjanjuk and sentenced him to death for murder and savagery at the Treblinka death camp. [Egalitarian non-apartheid Israel abolished the death penalty in 1954, except for alleged or fictitious crimes by non-Jews against Jews. Only one person has been judicially murdered in the history of the State of Israel: Adolf Eichmann, a Zionist, was kidnapped in Argentina, smuggled to Palestine, convicted of absurd crimes by a kangaroo court, and hanged to great acclaim in 1962.] But the sentence was overturned in 1993 when the Israeli Supreme Court determined there was insufficient evidence [in other words, he was innocent] that Demjanjuk was the so-called guard named &#8220;Ivan the Terrible,&#8221; and he was released.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Today, prosecutors say they have all the proof they need [come on, get real, who needs proof? he must be guilty, he's Ukrainian!] that Demjanjuk actively participated in the mass murder of Jews in the [fictitious] gas chambers of Sobibor in 1943.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Demjanjuk insists he merely served in the Soviet army and was captured by Germany in 1942.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Much of the evidence against him was gathered by the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations&#8217; director Eli Rosenbaum [and only a vicious antishemite would dare suggest that Comrade Rosenbaum could be biased. Rabbi Rosenbaum took a leave-of-absence in the 1980s to act as general counsel for the World Jewish Congress, but that's neither here nor there.]</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">The trial could take a couple of years.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#003300;">Reports following the first hearing, which ended when Denjanjuk had to be removed from the court on a stretcher:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>Bild Zeitung:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">&#8220;The behavior of the defense attorneys of SS henchman Demjanjuk must leave all civilized people bewildered, speechless and disgusted. Saying the defendant is &#8216;a victim of the Holocaust himself&#8217; is like killing the murdered victims a second time. What cynicism and coldness. Someone who hounded men, women and children into the gas chambers [<em>sic</em>] of Sobibor can never be a victim.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>Die Tageszeitung:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003300;">&#8220;There are people like John Ivan Demjanjuk waiting in the US who have been stripped of their US citizenship because they helped the Nazis. They&#8217;re allowed to remain there because no state is ready to take them. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle could send a signal and declare that Germany is ready to allow these men to be extradited here. Then the Demjanjuk trial wouldn&#8217;t be the last of its kind, but the start of a whole series of prosecutions of similar perpetrators.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>DEMJANJUK FIGHTS FOR LIFE</strong></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#800000;">Former Rep. Jim Traficant is again going to bat for an Ohio workman accused of being a Nazi camp guard</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">By Jim Traficant · </span><a href="http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/demjanjuk_fights_201.html"><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">American Free Press</span></em></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">John Demjanjuk is a retired auto worker from Cleveland. He was born in Ukraine, served in World War II as a Russian soldier, was captured and held as a prisoner of war. Demjanjuk’s captors were soldiers of the German army. Today, as you read this column, Demjanjuk is standing trial for his very life once again. He is facing another Nazi war crimes indictment.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Think about the dynamics of this dilemma for John Demjanjuk. He’s being tried in Germany, by the very country who captured him. They say he was a Nazi war criminal. I don’t know about you, but on its surface it just doesn’t add up.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Demjanjuk is not a war criminal and certainly was never a Nazi. I can  remember my first acknowledgment of the “Demjanjuk” ordeal. It seems like yesterday. I was in my Washington, D.C. office in the old Cannon Building in the late ‘80s. One of my staffers came into my office in a sort of cloak-and-dagger mode stating that the “son of convicted Nazi mass murderer ‘Ivan the Terrible’ is in the reception room, and we told him you are not here.” I then inquired of his purpose to meet with me, since I was not his congressman. I was then informed that young John Demjanjuk Jr. told them that he has “been to every office in the House and Senate, and no one would even speak with him because the matter was too sensitive.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">John Demjanjuk Jr. further stated that “they did not want to involve Jim Traficant” because they said that they “knew the government hated him, but he’s our last resort for any help.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">My staffer said, “Do not meet with him; you’ll be ostracized, destroyed, ruined. Let him go back to his own congressman and the two senators of Ohio.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">My staff further advised that I was probably already targeted by the powerful Israeli lobby, since I was an opponent of foreign aid, and certainly my involvement with John Demjanjuk would guarantee that American Israeli Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] would not quit till I was removed from Congress.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I went to the door so I could overhear the conversation between John Demjanjuk Jr. and my staff. I could feel the pain in his voice. John Demjanjuk Jr. finally stated: “My dad’s not asking to meet with anyone. I’m asking, and I’ve never even had a parking ticket. What kind of government is this, that I can’t even talk to my elected officials about my family’s grave concerns?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I then ordered my staff to bring John Demjanjuk Jr. and his brother-in-law Ed Nishnic into my office. My staff told me this decision would destroy my</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">career in Congress. I met John Demjanjuk Jr. and Ed Nishnic and offered them a seat to discuss their problems.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">John Demjanjuk Jr. is a fine young man, a son any father would be proud of. His demeanor was that of a troubled and worried young man. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law Ed Nishnic and basically let Ed Nishnic explain their plight.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Ed Nishnic is also a remarkable man. Like John Demjanjuk Jr. he’s very intelligent and was very determined to prove the innocence of his father-in-law. I stated emphatically, that “I’ve decided to meet with you for one reason and one reason only: No American should ever be turned away when seeking help from our government.” I then said, “Your dad has been convicted of mass murder, the extermination of one million Jewish prisoners. He has been sentenced to death. I want you to know up front, that if he is really guilty I could personally pull the switch at his execution.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I then told them I would hear their concerns. (Be advised that the mainstream media wrote that “Jim Traficant supports Nazi mass murderer” as soon as word spread that I had met with the “Demjanjuk” family.)</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Nishnic handed me two report summaries of OSI investigators (Office of Special Investigations, the group within the Justice Department created by Congress to apprehend and prosecute Nazi war criminals). They had interrogated one Otto Horn in Berlin, Germany. Horn was a former SS Nazi guard who had assisted “Ivan Grozny” (Ivan the Terrible), at the Treblinka, Poland concentration camps.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">These two reports were originals, not copies, and were signed by agents Garand and Daugherty, and were witnessed by prosecutor Moscovitz, who handled the denaturalization trial of John Demjanjuk in Cleveland. The reports were stamped as received by the Justice Department and signed by unit chief Eli Rosenbaum.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I read the documents very carefully without input from John Demjanjuk Jr. or Ed Nishnic. I could not believe my eyes. I could not believe what I was reading. The Justice Department had committed a great crime. Moscovitz, Garand and Daugherty suborned the perjury of Otto Horn in order to convict an American citizen wrongfully—an American now denaturalized, stripped of his citizenship and waiting to be executed. (The authenticity of these two documents cannot be denied.)</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">At trial, Horn stated that “John Demjanjuk was Ivan Grozny.” But in these two early reports, two years before the trial, Horn could not identify Demjanjuk from the photographs displayed before him.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I had a problem. A big problem. I knew without a doubt that John Demjanjuk was not Ivan the Terrible. John Demjanjuk was in fact another victim, soon to be known as one of the most vicious and infamous mass murderers in world history. John Demjanjuk was awaiting execution as the infamous Ivan of Treblinka, Ivan the Terrible.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I would be defamed and ostracized because I would be compelled to prove the innocence of John Demjanjuk on the strength of these two Justice Department documents. John Demjanjuk was innocent—convicted of mass murder, sentenced to death and awaiting execution—and no one seemed to care.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I thought, what has happened to our great country that it could produce this type of brutal crime against this American and his family?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I realized I had a difficult task ahead, but with the help of John Demjanjuk Jr. and Ed Nishnic, I believed we could prove John Demjanjuk’s innocence. It was imperative to do so. I had these two powerful documents to start with.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Otto Horn’s testimony at the Cleveland denaturalization trial (via videotape) was very direct. Horn had been shown a series of photographs when interrogated in Berlin.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Moscovitz spread eight photos of Caucasian males in uniform, all in their early 20’s. Horn testified that he identified John Demjanjuk immediately. Moscovitz then spread eight more photos of Caucasian soldiers in uniform, but now in their 40’s. Horn again testified that he identified John Demjanjuk, even as an older man, because he knew him so well. Horn’s testimony stripped John Demjanjuk of his citizenship, and he was sent to Israel to stand trial as Ivan the Terrible.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Now, back to the two reports of Horn’s interrogation in Berlin two years earlier. Garand and Daugherty wrote in their reports immediately after their interview with Horn: “We spread eight photos of Caucasian men in uniform, all in their early 20’s. Horn studied the photos at length and stated that ‘one man looks familiar’ [not John Demjanjuk] but FAILED to identify anyone.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">The report goes on:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">“We then gathered the eight photos and put them in a stack with John Demjanjuk’s on top. We then spread eight more photos of older men in uniform with John Demjanjuk’s photo among them. Horn studied these photos at length, and looking at the John Demjanjuk photo on top of the stack, then back to John Demjanjuk’s photo in the older soldiers spread, said that ‘this is the same man’ but FAILED again to identify John Demjanjuk as Ivan.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Be advised that Horn lied through his teeth, and U.S. prosecutor Moscovitz allowed it. Horn later testified at the Israeli trial that he positively identified John Demjanjuk from the photo spreads. When the defense team crossed-examined Horn, they asked if he could see the first photo spread when he was examining the second set. Horn testified:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">“They put the first set of photographs in an envelope and removed them from my view.” Horn lied again. John Demjanjuk was convicted, and sentenced to death.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I immediately began my own investigation by utilizing a number of FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] requests on John Demjanjuk. The government response was “classified”; thus I got nothing. At this point I conferred with John Demjanjuk Jr. and Nishnic to evaluate what options were available. We came up with a plan.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">We decided to research any and all legal activity that involved the Treblinka camp. BINGO. We discovered that a Ukrainian-American from Chicago, by the name of Feodor Federenko, had been tried for war crimes at Treblinka. Federenko was acquitted. He then traveled to his homeland to visit his family, but was arrested by the Soviet KGB, was tried again in Russia, was convicted and executed. [No doubt our government arranged his demise].</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I immediately sent out a new FOIA request, this time on Federenko. Most agencies threw my FOIAs in the wastebasket, but the State Department sent me two telegrams:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">The first was from one of our OSI agents in Europe seeking information about Treblinka. The second was the response from the State Department listing the names of four men who had made statements about Treblinka. At the bottom of this was the following; “if you need further help, be advised we have another 100 pages in the file.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I acted immediately. I phoned the State Department and reached a Mrs. Poindexter, an honest, competent government worker. I asked her to send me those 100 pages, citing the fact that Federenko was deceased and his case was not “classified.” Mrs. Poindexter complied.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Those 100 pages saved the life of John Demjanjuk. They contained the testimony of 17 witnesses about Treblinka.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">All 17 identified “Ivan”:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">1. He was taller than John Demjanjuk;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">2. He had dark hair, not blond like John Demjanjuk;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">3. He was nine years older than John Demjanjuk;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">4. He had a long scar on his neck.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">There was also a photo of two SS Nazi guards who had been identified by one of the witnesses, who said: “The short guard with pistol is Tkachuk. The tall guard is the man the Jewish prisoners feared the most, ‘Ivan Grozny’—IVAN MARCHENKO.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">All 17 witnesses identified a man named Ivan Marchenko as “Ivan the Terrible.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I asked Congress for a hearing. Congress refused, the case was “too sensitive.” The federal courts would not accept my evidence. I took my evidence to the floor of Congress. I said John Demjanjuk was not “Ivan the Terrible.” A man named Ivan Marchenko was the real “Ivan.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">That night, the U.S. Justice Department issued a statement that “there were two Ivans.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">The next day I released the photo of  Marchenko. The Justice Department was silent.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I then forwarded all my evidence to John Demjanjuk’s defense team in Israel, who then submitted it in to the Israeli Supreme Court.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I flew to Israel with John Demjanjuk Jr. and Ed Nishnic, at my own expense. I did a live interview with Bryant Gumbel on the Today show. I stated that if Israel executed John Demjanjuk that Israel will lose $20 billion a year from U.S. taxpayers. Gumbel said that “Israel only gets $3 billion a year.” I countered, “That’s just the foreign aid bill, Bryant. Israel gets military aid, loans, loans converted to grants, and trade compacts and other money. I say that Israel gets $20,000 for every man, woman and child from America every year.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">The interview was over.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I was phoned the following night and was told that John Demjanjuk would be released and delivered to me at the Tel Aviv Airport. We took him home.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">I called a press conference for New York. While the press gathered, I ducked out with John Demjanjuk on a small plane. When approaching Cleveland, I directed the pilot to seek a landing pattern at the airport, then directed the flight to a small airstrip near Independence, Ohio, thus eluding the press.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">John Demjanjuk went to a safehouse, He was home. I flew toWashington.The next day the Sixth Circuit Court in Cincinnati, Ohio issued the following statement; “A TRAGIC BUT HONEST MISTAKE BY OUR GOVERNMENT.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">That was no mistake. Moscovitz, Garand and Daugherty should have been sent to prison. I said then, “Since when did sensitivity waive our Bill of Rights?” When we allow the rights of one American to be violated, we endanger the rights of all Americans.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">Germany should send John Demjanjuk home. How, in God’s name, can Germany accept any evidence from the U.S. Justice Department who suborned perjury in the first trial, withheld evidence, obstructed justice, and violated John Demjanjuk’s civil rights?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">SHAME ON GERMANY AND SHAME ON THE U.S.A. What has happened to our great country?</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#003300;">And why is Demjanjuk on trial in Germany? Aren&#8217;t the Germans supposed to be the villains here? They get to invade Denjanjuk&#8217;s homeland, and conscript him at the point of a bayonet, and now they sit in judgment of him. Does the Ukrainian puppet government government have nothing to say about protecting Demjanjuk&#8217;s right to a fair trial? What a joke to even talk of a fair trial when he&#8217;s already been framed and sentenced to death then let go &#8212; all because of the same kind of phony documentation and mendacious testimony. And didn&#8217;t the alleged crimes take place in Poland? What does the Polish puppet government have to say?</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>Faked at Dachau and Auschwitz, sure, but they <em>must</em> have been real at Sobibor&#8230; </strong></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">From Auschwitz 1270 To The Present, by Deborah Dwork &#38; Robert Jan van Pelt (W.W. Norton, New York, 1996), pp. 363-4:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">There have been additions to the camp the Russians found in 1945 as well as deletions, and the suppression of the prisoner reception site is matched by the reconstruction of crematorium I just outside the northeast perimeter of the present museum camp. With its chimney and its gas chamber, the crematorium functions as the solemn conclusion for tours through the camp. Visitors are not told that the crematorium they see is largely a post-war reconstruction.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;">When Auschwitz was transformed into a museum after the war, the decision was taken to concentrate the history of the whole complex into one of its component parts. The infamous crematoria where the mass murders had taken place lay in ruins in Birkenau, two miles away. The committee felt that a crematorium was required at the end of the memorial journey, and crematorium I was reconstructed to speak for the history of the incinerators at Birkenau. This program of usurpation was rather detailed. A chimney, the ultimate symbol of Birkenau, was re-created; four hatched openings in the roof, as if for pouring Zyklon B into the gas chamber below, were installed, and two of the three furnaces were rebuilt using original parts. There are no signs to explain these restitutions, they were not marked at the time, and the guides remain silent about it when they take visitors through this building that is presumed by the tourist to be the place where <em>it</em> happened.</span></p>

<p>Información,textos,testimonios de españoles y españolas bajo el horror nazi</p>
<p>Desde los hechos de la II Guerra Mundial, del horror nazi y su proyecto de eliminación total de judíos y otros seres humanos considerados por ellos inferiores,tales como gitanos,comunistas,etc,y el lanzamiento de dos bombas atómicas en japón, surge una hondísima brecha en toda la tradición de la filosofía nacida en la Atenas de Platón y su maestro Sócrates&#8230;</p>
<p>Acaso nunca se podrá salir de esas heridas que afectan grave y profundamente al quehacer de la Etica,de la Moral y del derecho&#8230;</p>
<p>Sin embargo es posible tratar de hacer una filosofía crítica para buscar por todos los medios a nuestro alcance que esta barbarie sea imposible de volver jamás a ser algo siquiera pensable, ni mucho menos algo real</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Morienttes!</p>
<p>Sunnuntain kunniaksi mäkin ajattelin kirjoittaa pienen &#8220;mitä tuli tehtyä&#8221; -henkisen postauksen viikonlopun tähänastisista tapahtumista. Tapahtumahistorian tunteminen on tärkeää, jotta voi ymmärtää siitä esitettyjä tulkintoja (esimerkiksi J Shoren edellisessä postauksessa). Lisäksi päässäni ei nyt oikein liiku juuri mitään järkevää (olisi paljon tekemistä, mutta kuuntelen Regina Spektoria ja kirjoitan blogiin).</p>
<p>Mäkin olin eilen kulttuuri-iltamissa. Oli tosi kivaa ja hauskaa. Koska en ollut yhtä fiksu (tai rikas tai komea) kuin Shore, en ottanut kuvia omista hiilipiirrustuksistani. Koska haluan kuitenkin tuoda esiin taiteellista lahjakkuttani, tein Paintilla pienimuotoiset rekonstruktiot teoksistani. Tässä ne nyt ovat!</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv204/kotkaapaalle/kotka.jpg?t=1258283442" alt="" width="200" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tämän teoksen nimi on &#34;Kotkat Helsingin yllä&#34;. Kuvassa MYYTTINEN KOTKA lentää kaupungin yllä. Kuvan alalaidassa on palloja ja kiekuroita. Kaupunki näyttää Helsingiltä, mutta pallot ja kiekurat mahdollistavat myös muut tulkinnat, koska Helsingin katukuvassa ei juuri näy palloja ja kiekuroita.</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv204/kotkaapaalle/mies.jpg?t=1258283561" alt="" width="200" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tämän nimi on &#34;Mies joka näki kuoleman&#34;. Kuvassa nimetön mies katsoo ohi kuvitteellisesta kamerasta silmitön kauhu silmissään. Teos herättää katsojassa kysymyksiä: mitä mies on nähnyt? Oliko hän töissä Auschwitzissä, Treblinkassa vai kenties sotilaana Tsetseniassa? Onko sillä edes väliä, sillä lopulta me kaikki olemme yhtä perhettä.</p></div>
<p>Lähdin jossain vaiheessa Kuppalasta (biletila Yhteiskuntahistorian laitoksen kellarissa) kaverini Even luo hassuttelemaan. Siellä oli koolla kotkahenkisiä kavereita. Katsottiin matkakuviamme Turkista ja otettii vähän BÖNTTÖÖ. Noin puoli kahdentoista aikaan siirryttiin baariin. Tässä vaiheessa meno alkoi hieman karata käsistä, sillä mentiin kaverini Speden autolla, mutta meitä oli seitsemän ja autoon mahtui oikeastaan vain viisi. Jonkun piti siis matkustaa TAKAKONTISSA! EI HYVÄÄ ILTAA! Katseet kääntyivät luonnollisesti meitsiin, koska olin kaikkein KOTKAHENKISIN (ja myös pienin, laihin ja tyhmin). No, huu em ai tu tsats? Hyppäsin siis takakonttiin ja auto starttasi liikkeelle. Jännitti. Oli ihan pimeetä. Adrenalinii virtasi suonissa. Hetken ajan kuvittelin olevani Top Gunin Maverick. Matka ei kestänyt kovin kauan. Pian olimmekin jo Krunassa Suomen pankin edessä. Olimme selvinneet. ME TEHTIIN SE! Olo oli kuin Kolumbuksella Amerikan löytäessään. SIISTII!</p>

Takakontissa matkustaminen on tyhmää ja vaarallista ja laitonta. Kotkat ei suosittele!</p></div>
<p>Mentiin Snellmaninkadulla sijaitsevaan Lilla Helsingforsiin. Meno yltyi paikoin jopa sekoiluksi ja join KAKSI TUOPPIA OLUTTA! MORJENS! Paikalle tuli myös kotkahenkisiä opiskelukavereitamme (esimerkiksi J Shore). Itse kreisibailasin (siis istuin, join olutta ja juttelin kavereitteni kanssa) noin kahteen asti. Kävelin kotiin kirpeässä pikkupakkasessa. Jäänmurtajat näyttää kivoilta yövalaistuksessa. Tänään aion kirjoittaa proseminaaria ja ehkä tehdä ruokaa. No bnth today!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1553" title="fence" src="http://word4women.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/fence.jpg?w=150" alt="fence" width="150" height="99" /></p>
<p>As I began to read White Picket Fences, by Susan Meissner my mind rushed ahead of the story. This happens to me from time to time&#8230;I must admit I read the last chapter first! Admittedly that is not the intention of the author and I trust your will not read the last paragraph of this blog first.</p>
<p>The title White Picket Fences intrigued me, was this about a maiden woman who spent all day in her garden behind a white picket fence? Or maybe the white picket fence held back a great big lovable St Bernard. Wrong on both points. The White Picket Fence referred to in the title of Susan Meissner&#8217;s most recent novel illustrated what we consider to be the idealic home. You know the kind you saw as &#8220;the Beav&#8221; road his bike home on the TV show Leave it to Beaver.  White frame houses, with white picket fences the perfect packaging for the All American Family in residence.</p>
<p>White Picket Fences is an engaging novel about the fragile life behind the White Picket Fence. The life of the Janvier family and there new house guest, niece Tally. After the sudden death of Tally&#8217;s grandmother and the abscence of her father, she has two options. Foster Care&#8230; or life with her aunt and uncle she barely knows.</p>
<p>As you read further you discover several other fences alluded to, the fences keeping in thousands of Polish Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto of World War II and the fences around Treblinka a Nazi Concentration Camp.</p>
<p>Throughout the book you witness many kinds of fences erected by individuals to keep others out or to keep our secrets in&#8230;.. Pick up a copy of this wonderful book and enjoy a trip with Tally as she experiences the fences of her new life and that of her ancestors.</p>

We live with Holocaust deniers who poison vulnerable young minds with their venomous drivel. If we allow them to revise history, then the Holocaust can occur again in a future generation.</p>
<p>It is critical that we teach our children the truth about the Holocaust. Whether someone made a poor casting decision is virtually irrelevant.</p>
<p>I wrote about the Holocaust because I felt it critical to discount Holocaust deniers. These mendacious historical revisers desire only one thing &#8211; to finish that which Hitler began with the Jewish people. There are many vulnerable individuals whose weak minds can be turned into hatred of minorities. It happened in 20th Century Europe. It can happen again. If we had learned from the Holocaust, we would not have witnessed Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda or Darfur. Prejudice continues. Someone has to stop the blind hatred.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jacob&#8217;s Courage&#8221; is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are murdered. From despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, &#8220;Jacob’s Courage&#8221; examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.</p>
<p>I described the Auschwitz death march in great detail in &#8220;Jacob&#8217;s Courage.&#8221; AN Auschwitz survivor who read my book called me to ask how I knew exactly what it was like to live through the experience. That told me my description was accurate.</p>
<p>The worst characterization of the human experience is revealed through religious, ethnic, gender or racial prejudice. Only when we learn to value the differences among us will humankind move forward into a bright future. If we fail to learn this lesson, only darkness remains for our progeny.</p>
<p>You can learn more about the Holocuat here <a href="http://jacobscourage.wordpress.com/">http://jacobscourage.wordpress.com/</a>. The book is available through all major retailers, as a Kindle book and a Smashwords download. Let&#8217;s hope that our children will be more tolerant than our parents were.<br />

Whilst many “Self-Proclaimed Debunkers of Revisionism” believe they are doing something noble by “<em>giving the Deniers a hard time</em>” you are in essence accomplishing nothing but validating that a ludicrous revisionist viewpoint has any merit what so ever.</p>
<p>Forcing Holocaust Deniers to lose composure doesn&#8217;t discredit the Denier. It simply proves the Denier is just as human as the rest of us and can react adversely when challenged.</p>
<p>(We would remind all that the Holocaust isn&#8217;t a game where points are awarded to whichever side makes a better argument. Millions died in unimaginable suffering. If you need to play a game that proves your intellect we would recommed a friendly game of Chess perhaps?)</p>
<p>It is the view of the Holocaust Education &#38; Archive Research Team that the period of history known as the Holocaust [Shoah], the program of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, and its collaborators towards the Jewish peoples in Europe but also including ethnic Poles, the Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, gay men, and political and religious opponents can NEVER BE DENIED.</p>
<p>Any claim that the Shoah never happened, that the resources of the Third Reich never murdered almost a million Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. That entire communities of Jews and Romani were not crammed into ghettos before being transported by freight train to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, the majority of them were killed in gas chambers is a claim designed purely to stir controversy.</p>
<p>Validating the arguments of Holocaust Deniers via <em>anonymous online debates</em> offers no value to the cause of Holocaust remembrance and no value to history or posterity.</p>
<p>We believe that energy is better spent promoting Holocaust awareness for the future benefit of society and cultures worldwide.<br />
So mankind won&#8217;t forever be doomed to repeat the evils of the past.</p>

Thank you for this article. I have been researching my families history. Mainly because my Danish Grandfather was taken by the Nazi&#8217;s in 1940. I lived in Norway as a child and now live in the US. I am in the process of Converting to Judaism. My love and respect for the Jewish People started after I found out what my family went through. I am so grateful when I read an honest article about what happened.<br />

Does there exist any archival material from the company Hasag (Hugo-Schneider-Aktiengesellschaft), Leipzig, Germany, specifically its armaments division at Skarzysko-Kamienna and affiliated plants, Werke A, B, C, located in Distrikt Radom, of the then Reich Generalgouvernement Polen? The main archive of Hasag no longer exists. The central office building in Leipzig, together with the business archive, was damaged through Allied bombs and then destroyed by self-detonation in early 1945.</p>

Greetings to the Holocaust Education and Archive Research Team.</p>
<p>I saw an interview recently with actor Daniel Craig where he mentioned your website and how he used it to research his role for the movie Defiance.</p>
<p>Does the HEART team often provide consultation to film &#38; television media?</p>

Jamie,</p>
<p>Thank you for your note.</p>
<p>H.E.A.R.T is often asked to provide historical consultation to the film/television industry as well as online &#38; print media.</p>
<p>Since all consultation is strictly voluntary &#8211; (H.E.A.R.T accepts no compensation for any Holocaust related consultation) &#8211; it is often difficult to assist with the many requests we receive on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Team members are often on location throughout Europe, and or working in various archives in the US, UK, Germany and Poland.</p>
<p>UK Director Mr. Chris Webb manages one of the rarest and most comprehensive photo archives to be found anywhere in the world. He spends much of his time identifying, and labeling the many thousands of pictures from the ghettos, and locations of Holocaust atrocities.</p>
<p>US Director Mr. Carmelo Lisciotto spends most of his available time in eastern Poland and the areas of the former Soviet Union conducting extensive research on the activity of the Einsatzgruppen for his book due to be released in 2009.</p>
<p>Other members of the team conduct Holocaust tours, or perform services for Jewish groups as well as with various archives in the review and translation of documents, decodes and other artifacts.</p>
<p>We appreciate your feedback and encourage your continued education in the most infamous period of world history.</p>
<p>-H.E.A.R.T<br />

i&#8217;m reading a book now called &#8220;the architect of genocide: himmler and the final solution&#8221; by richard breitman, which documents heydrich&#8217;s relationship with the reichfurher-ss, it&#8217;s a bit laborious but very interesting<br />

We live with Holocaust deniers who poison vulnerable young minds with their venomous drivel. If we allow them to revise history, then the Holocaust can occur again in a future generation.</p>
<p>It is critical that we teach our children the truth about the Holocaust. Whether someone made a poor casting decision is virtually irrelevant.</p>
<p>I wrote about the Holocaust because I felt it critical to discount Holocaust deniers. These mendacious historical revisers desire only one thing &#8211; to finish that which Hitler began with the Jewish people. There are many vulnerable individuals whose weak minds can be turned into hatred of minorities. It happened in 20th Century Europe. It can happen again. If we had learned from the Holocaust, we would not have witnessed Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda or Darfur. Prejudice continues. Someone has to stop the blind hatred.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jacob&#8217;s Courage&#8221; is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are murdered. From despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, &#8220;Jacob’s Courage&#8221; examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.</p>
<p>I described the Auschwitz death march in great detail in &#8220;Jacob&#8217;s Courage.&#8221; AN Auschwitz survivor who read my book called me to ask how I knew exactly what it was like to live through the experience. That told me my description was accurate.</p>
<p>The worst characterization of the human experience is revealed through religious, ethnic, gender or racial prejudice. Only when we learn to value the differences among us will humankind move forward into a bright future. If we fail to learn this lesson, only darkness remains for our progeny.</p>
<p>You can learn more about the Holocuat here <a href="http://jacobscourage.wordpress.com/">http://jacobscourage.wordpress.com/</a>. The book is available through all major retailers, as a Kindle book and a Smashwords download. Let&#8217;s hope that our children will be more tolerant than our parents were.<br />

Whilst many “Self-Proclaimed Debunkers of Revisionism” believe they are doing something noble by “<em>giving the Deniers a hard time</em>” you are in essence accomplishing nothing but validating that a ludicrous revisionist viewpoint has any merit what so ever.</p>
<p>Forcing Holocaust Deniers to lose composure doesn&#8217;t discredit the Denier. It simply proves the Denier is just as human as the rest of us and can react adversely when challenged.</p>
<p>(We would remind all that the Holocaust isn&#8217;t a game where points are awarded to whichever side makes a better argument. Millions died in unimaginable suffering. If you need to play a game that proves your intellect we would recommed a friendly game of Chess perhaps?)</p>
<p>It is the view of the Holocaust Education &#38; Archive Research Team that the period of history known as the Holocaust [Shoah], the program of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, and its collaborators towards the Jewish peoples in Europe but also including ethnic Poles, the Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, gay men, and political and religious opponents can NEVER BE DENIED.</p>
<p>Any claim that the Shoah never happened, that the resources of the Third Reich never murdered almost a million Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. That entire communities of Jews and Romani were not crammed into ghettos before being transported by freight train to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, the majority of them were killed in gas chambers is a claim designed purely to stir controversy.</p>
<p>Validating the arguments of Holocaust Deniers via <em>anonymous online debates</em> offers no value to the cause of Holocaust remembrance and no value to history or posterity.</p>

Dear H.E.A.R.T</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t agree more with your statements.</p>
<p>60 years after the Holocaust happened arguing with those who choose to deny out of their own racial hatred is just silly.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t care about making a Holocaust denier look badly.</p>
<p>They already do that themselves the moment they promulgate their venomous propaganda.</p>

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE LOGIC IN ARGUING WITH HOLOCAUST DENIERS IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO ME TO BE AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY.</p>
<p>YOU GUYS ALSO MAKE A GOOD POINT ABOUT THOSE SELF PROCLAIMED DEBUNKERS OF REVISIONISM.</p>
<p>WHEN YOU READ HOW THEY BEHAVE ITS CLEAR THEY ARE ONLY DEBATING FOR THE FUN OF THE DEBATE AND REALLY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST.</p>
<p>I THINK IN MANY CASES THEY DO MORE FOR THE REVISIONIST CAUSE THAN THE DENIERS DO THEMSELVES!<br />

Thank you for this article. I have been researching my families history. Mainly because my Danish Grandfather was taken by the Nazi&#8217;s in 1940. I lived in Norway as a child and now live in the US. I am in the process of Converting to Judaism. My love and respect for the Jewish People started after I found out what my family went through.

Does there exist any archival material from the company Hasag (Hugo-Schneider-Aktiengesellschaft), Leipzig, Germany, specifically its armaments division at Skarzysko-Kamienna and affiliated plants, Werke A, B, C, located in Distrikt Radom, of the then Reich Generalgouvernement Polen? The main archive of Hasag no longer exists. The central office building in Leipzig, together with the business archive, was damaged through Allied bombs and then destroyed by self-detonation in early 1945.</p>

Greetings to the Holocaust Education and Archive Research Team.</p>
<p>I saw an interview recently with actor Daniel Craig where he mentioned your website and how he used it to research his role for the movie Defiance.</p>
<p>Does the HEART team often provide consultation to film &#38; television media?</p>

Jamie,</p>
<p>Thank you for your note.</p>
<p>H.E.A.R.T is often asked to provide historical consultation to the film/television industry as well as online &#38; print media.</p>
<p>Since all consultation is strictly voluntary &#8211; (H.E.A.R.T accepts no compensation for any Holocaust related consultation) &#8211; it is often difficult to assist with the many requests we receive on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Team members are often on location throughout Europe, and or working in various archives in the US, UK, Germany and Poland.</p>
<p>UK Director Mr. Chris Webb manages one of the rarest and most comprehensive photo archives to be found anywhere in the world. He spends much of his time identifying, and labeling the many thousands of pictures from the ghettos, and locations of Holocaust atrocities.</p>
<p>US Director Mr. Carmelo Lisciotto spends most of his available time in eastern Poland and the areas of the former Soviet Union conducting extensive research on the activity of the Einsatzgruppen for his book due to be released in 2009.</p>
<p>Other members of the team conduct Holocaust tours, or perform services for Jewish groups as well as with various archives in the review and translation of documents, decodes and other artifacts.</p>
<p>We appreciate your feedback and encourage your continued education in the most infamous period of world history.</p>
<p>-H.E.A.R.T<br />

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">Siedlce was <span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;">occupied by German troops</span> on 10 October 1939. Before WW2 around 50% of the town&#8217;s 30,000 inhabitants were Jewish. A few days after the Nazis had occupied the city, on 15 November 1939, they began to arrest Jews.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">After gathering them together in a prison, the following day they were marched to Wegrow. There, during the night, around 50 of those arrested managed to escape from the market square, including Hercel Kave and his father. The others were conducted to Ostroleka.</p>
<p>From the beginning of the occupation, the Germans turned their entire propaganda machinery on Polish society in order to justify their murdering of the Jews. For this purpose they made use of posters with texts such as &#8220;Typhus, spotted fever, is one of the most dangerous of diseases, often fatal. Typhus is very contagious and therefore it can spread quickly and easily into serious epidemics. In the <em>Generalgouvernement</em> it is widespread, particularly amongst the Jews.&#8221; </span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">On Jewish holydays German soldiers entered synagogues, beat the Jews who were praying there, tore off their liturgical garments, and fired at those who tried to escape by jumping out of windows. Josef Rubin died thus, on the seventh day of <em>Sukkot</em>.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">From the beginning of the occupation the Germans plundered Jewish shops and homes. At the end of November 1939, soldiers entered the synagogue and the <em>Beit Hamidrash</em> (House of Prayer), and threw out the <em>Torah scrolls</em>. In a frenzy of hatred they ripped them apart and trampled on them. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">During the night of the 24 &#8211; 25 December 1939, the Nazis set fire to the synagogue, homeless Jewish refugees who were inside died in the fire. </span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">At the end of November 1939, the Germans ordered the formation of a Jewish Council – the <em>Judenrat</em>. It included: Icchak Nachum Weintraub – chairman; Hersz Eisenberg – deputy-chairman; Herszl Tenenbaum – secretary, responsible for liaison with the <em>Gestapo</em>; Dr Henryk Loebel – health division; M. Czarnobroda – treasurer; M. Rotbejn – employment division; J. Landau, lawyer – social assistance; A. Altenberg – supplies division; L. Grinberg – legal assistance; R.

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">The Council managed Jewish property and manpower, and drew up &#8220;transport lists&#8221; (lists of persons destined for extermination camps). A Jewish police force kept order, wearing as insignia caps of office, nightsticks, and special armbands with the inscription &#8220;<em>Jüdischer Ordnungsdienst</em>&#8220;. There were around 50 of them. Gewisser stood at their head. There was also the <em>Sanitätsdienst</em> – the Sanitation Service. Its purpose was to maintain cleanliness in the apartments, courtyards, and streets of the Jewish quarters. </span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-GB">After the closed ghetto was instituted, the functionaries of the Sanitation Service became part of the Health Division of the Jewish Council. In addition to their previous duties, its members were ordered to assign living quarters for Jews who moved to the already overcrowded ghetto. The <em>Judenrat</em> also had an employment office (<em>Arbeitsamt</em>), whose director was Izrael Friedman.</p>
<p>The chairman of the Siedlce <em>Judenrat</em> was a man of already advanced age: Weintraub who was a worthy local social and political activist. For many years he had been at the head of the Zionist movement and the religious community. He kept a diary in which he recorded the important events of the town, as well as stories, told to him by Jewish elders. </span></p>

What has been saved is only that which he had published in the press in the interwar period. The function of chairman of the <em>Judenrat</em> was filled not by Weintraub, but by Dr Henryk Loebel. Emil Karpinski remembers that &#8220;people fought each other, literally fought, gave bribes, and used every possible means to get a position in the <em>Judenrat</em> or the Jewish police.&#8221;</p>
<p>By December 1939, the <em>Judenrat</em> was already ordered to make a &#8220;contribution&#8221; of 20,000 zlotys. In 1940, from spring to winter, the Siedlce Jews were used for land reclamation work on the Liwiec River. Workers, divided into 15 person groups, worked under Polish direction. </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1249" title="geyer2" src="http://toyanxiety.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/geyer2.jpg" alt="geyer2" width="500" height="343" /></p>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">So, in my last blog, I talked about Kabbalah and the significance of the number 137. In last night&#8217;s episode of Flash Forward, we learn of this significance from a former Nazi war criminal, Rudolf Geyer. Geyer is in Quale Prison in Munich, Germany.  He is talking to one of the guards and says that his blackout flash forward will &#8220;get him out of this hateful place.&#8221; He has sent notice to Mark&#8217;s (Fiennes) team that he knows why the blackout occurred and wants to specifically talk to Mark about it. Mark and Janis head to Munich to talk with Geyer (who is now accompanied by his attorney). It seems that Geyer hid in the United States for 20 years, and he has been looking forward to meeting Mark for quite some time (how long I wonder?).  He saw Mark&#8217;s name in his vision. He wants to return to America and have all charges against him dropped. He will give Mark the information only in exchange for this. He worked at the Treblinka Death Camp in Poland. Treblinka was known as a camp that was primarily built for extermination. Sounds like Geyer was a pretty bad guy in his day. He offers to give Mark part of his information now as good faith and then the rest after the deal is sealed. He explains to Mark the significance of the 137 sekuden (or 137 seconds) and its association with Kabbalah, shrouded in Jewish mysticism.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1252" title="Jerome Murphy" src="http://toyanxiety.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/murphydoofus.jpg?w=300" alt="Jerome Murphy" width="300" height="189" />In his flash forward, Geyer is repatriated to the United States. He is at an American airport. The customs agent is Jerome Murphy. He says to Jerome that he has a &#8220;murder to thank&#8221; for his return to America.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">The next day Jerome applied for the customs agent job he has in the future after having the same flash forward as Geyer.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1256" title="Dead Crows" src="http://toyanxiety.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/deadcrows.jpg?w=300" alt="Dead Crows" width="300" height="242" />Mark agrees to Geyer&#8217;s terms and then gets the second part of message. Seems that when Geyer awoke from the blackout he looked out the window and saw dead crows all over the courtyard. Geyer hands Mark a book on birds. Later, Mark learns that crows died all over the world when the blackout occurred. Doing some further checking, it seems there was a blackout in Somalia in the Ganwar Region in 1991 and dead crows were everywhere. Also, CDC doctors traveled to the Ganwar Region in response to claims that the inhabitants suffered mass loss of conciousness.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">Other interesting notes:</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">The White Rose Nazi Resistance were killed at Quale prison. The White Rose (German: die Weiße Rose) was a non-violent/intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany, consisting of students from the University of Munich and their philosophy professor. The group became known for an anonymous leaflet campaign, lasting from June 1942 until February 1943, that called for active opposition to German dictator Adolf Hitler&#8217;s regime.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">Demetri (Cho) was told by the caller that an American FBI Agent was murdered by being shot 3 times in the chest.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">Demetri&#8217;s cell phone call signal came from two sites at once.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">Jerome Murphy&#8217;s badge number was 3276.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">Did Demitri&#8217;s fiance really see his face in her flash forward or just a person standing on the beach waiting to marry her?</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">Did Aaron lie when he said the body exhumed was his daughter?</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">At the memorial service for the FBI agents, the lady that Olivia was talking to at lunch sees her future son.</span></h3>

<description><![CDATA[I det tredje avsnittet av min artikelserie om Förintelsen utifrån min studieresa till Polen i august]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I det tredje avsnittet av min artikelserie om Förintelsen utifrån min studieresa till Polen i augusti har turen kommit till ghettot i Warszawa och det uppror som delar av den judiska befolkningen där genomförde 1943. Samtidigt har jag insett att jag måste utsträcka nämnda artikelserie till fem avsnitt, där den avslutande artikeln kommer att ägnas åt kommunisternas judeförföljelser under efterkrigstiden.</p>
<p><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fEdaGJcaX3Q/SeotxI0J-tI/AAAAAAAAADc/i_22Iplfjr4/s400/Upproret.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Tyska trupper röjer i Warszawaghettot 1943.</p>
<p>Åren 1918-39 fanns i Polens huvudstad Warszawa den största koncentrationen av judar i Europa. Bara i New York fanns fler judar. När Andra världskriget inleddes fanns i Warszawa således 380 000 judar, nästan 30 procent av den totala befolkningen.</p>
<p>I slutet av 1940, när Tyskland hade lagt en stor del av Europa under sig, avskärmade tyskarna ghettot &#8211; som omfattade 300 hektar - från resten av Warszawa med en tre meter hög mur, samtidigt som fler judar från den omkringliggande delen av Polen flyttades till den polska huvudstaden. Ghettot var indelat i två delar &#8211; stora och lilla ghettot. Efter hand förstördes ghettot, först det lilla ghettot och efter upproren i maj och juli 1943 hela ghettoområdet.</p>
<p>Jan Olof Olsson (Jolo) redogör i sitt utomordentligt intressanta bokverk i sex band, <em>20e århundradet</em> (del 5), på följande sätt för de grymma förutsättningarna:</p>
<p>&#8220;I Warszawa upprättade tyskarna i november 1940 ett ghetto som i princip aldrig var annat än ett koncentrationsläger, en genomgångsstation för judar på deras väg till gaskamrarna. 600 000 judar fördes samman i Warszawaghettot. Av dem har 500 överlevt.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0bVc8XX6WxeI5/340x.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Marek Edelman var det siste överlevande ledaren från upproret i ghettot.</p>
<p>Faktum är att det nyligen meddelades att den siste av upprorets överlevande ledare, Marek Edelman, avlidit i en ålder av 85 år. (Födelseåret är osäkert, men jag håller mig till det som anges i boken <em>The Warsaw Ghetto</em> <em>1940-1945</em>, Warszawa 2006, det vill säga 1924). Edelman tilldelades 1998 Polens finaste utmärkelse, Vita Örnens orden. Han deltog även i upproret i Warszawa 1944, då såväl judiska som icke-judiska polacker på Stalins order lämnades i sticket av Röda armén.</p>
<p>Till följd av de omänskliga förhållandena i Warszawas ghetto dog en mycket stor andel av judarna. Från oktober 1939 till i mitten av 1942 beräknas omkring 100 000 judar ha dött i Warszawa, huvudsakligen som ett resultat av svält och epidemiska sjukdomar. Såväl den långsamma svältdöden som avlivningarna i förintelselägrens gaskammare var produkter av den nationalsocialistiska judepolitiken. Därtill kom de som dukade under för plundring, tvångsarbete samt den gradvisa elimineringen av judar från det socio-ekonomiska livet i av nazisterna behärskade området.</p>
<p>Den första utrotningskampanjen i Warszawa genomfördes mellan 22 juli och 21 september 1942, då cirka 300 000 judar fördes till den så kallade omlastningsplatsen (Umschlagplatz) på Stawkigatan för att transporteras vidare till förintelselägret Treblinka. Dessa transporter fortsatte in på 1943. I anslutning till denna plats finns fortfarande två av byggnaderna från denna mörka tid kvar, det tidigare judiska sjukhuset samt SS-högkvarteret.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1068/1034022564_e281aad7ae.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Rappaports monument över offren för upproret i Warszawaghettot.</p>
<p>Andra kvarvarande minnesmärken är rester av ghettomuren på Zlotagatan och Siennagatan. På Clodnagatan finns det hus i vilket ordföranden i Judiska välfärdsrådet, Adam Czerniakow, bodde &#8211; han begick självmord i juli 1942 då deportationerna till Treblinka tilltog i omfattning; Czerniakows dagböcker finns bevarade i Historiska institutets arkiv. I en park i anslutning till Zamenhoffagatan finns ett mäktigt monument till minne av ghettoupproret, skapat av Natan Rappaport 1948 då femårsminnet av upproret högtidlighölls. Monumentets svarta sten, som ursprungligen beställts av Hitler för ett nazityskt segermonument, kommer från Sverige. Dåvarande Västtysklands förbundskansler Willy Brandt besökte monumentet 1970 för att med en krans hedra ghettoupprorets offer.  En gravkulle i en park vid Milagatan markerar vidare den plats där den judiska motståndsrörelsen hade sitt högkvarter i en bunker. Mordechaj Anielewicz och andra motståndsledare begick självmord när bunkern omringades av nationalsocialisterna i slutfasen av upprorets första del.</p>
<p>Ghettot i Warszawa tilläts av ockupationsmakten att leva ett eget liv, och ingen jude fick komma utanför murarna. Judar från Polen men också från Tyskland pressades samman i en fullständigt olidlig trångboddhet. Handel tilläts, det vill säga de som hade råd kunde köpa upp förnödenheter som andra tvingades sälja för att ha någon möjlighet att klara livsuppehället. Jag lämnar åter över ordet till Jan Olof Olsson:</p>
<p>&#8220;I väntan på den oundvikliga döden &#8211; som de först efter tre år i ghettot insåg var slutstationen &#8211; tvangs sålunda judarna in i ett förödmjukande liv; förutom hungersnöden och sjukdomarna som skövlade familjerna, lämnades barn föräldralösa på gatorna eller i våningarna allt medan tyska soldater på permission gick omkring och fotograferade i stan, klev över döda eller svältande och skrattade åt de arma judarnas kommers med lösöre eller de plagg de kommit över och försökte sälja för att kunna skaffa barnen mat.&#8221;</p>
<p>Den judiska befolkningen gjorde vad den kunde för att överleva och bildade ett stort antal hjälporganisationer av olika slag, men till slut insåg man att väpnat motstånd var den sista utväg som stod till buds även om hoppet om att klara livhanken inte kan ha varit stort. Nyheter om den massiva utrotningskampanj som startats av tyskarna i samband med invasionen av Sovjetunionen nådde Warszawaghettot hösten 1941, och från den stunden började den aktiva motståndskampen förberedas.</p>
<p>Inspiration tillfördes av underrättelser om att litauska judar i och kring Wilna (Vilnius) inlett en gerillakamp mot tyskarna. En central roll i upproret hade organizationen ZOB (Judiska kamporganisationen), som leddes av den tidigare omtalade Mordechaj Anielewicz (1919-43), som alltså begick självmord tillsammans med andra upprorsledare. Överlevde gjorde, förutom nämnde Edelman, Icchak Cukierman (1915-81) och Cywia Lubetkin (1919-78).</p>

<p>Motståndsledaren Mordechaj Anielewicz (1919-43).</p>
<p>Trots att tyskarna gynnades av en massiv numerär och militär överlägsenhet togs de på sängen av resningen i april 1943 och led förluster under de första dagarna. Sedan tyskarna samlat sig kunde de emellertid få kontroll över situationen, vilket tvingade upprorsledarna att ta skydd i bunkrar vilka kom att fungera som motståndscentra. De tyska styrkorna, som kommenderades av general Jürgen Stroop,  förstörde emellertid på ett systematiskt sätt dessa bunkrar, och den 8 maj hade turen kommit till ZOBs ledningsbunker på Milagatan 18 som oskadliggjordes med en gasbomb. Den 16 maj gav general Stroop order om att Warszawas synagoga skulle förstöras som en markering av segern över den judiska motståndsarmén. Motståndet fortsatte dock &#8211; om än i blygsammare skala &#8211; fram till hösten 1943.</p>
<p>Trots att ghettotupproret slutligen nedkämpades av tyskarna hade motståndskämparna nått två grundläggande mål: de hade dels etablerat ett judiskt deltagande i kampen mot Tredje riket som ett fait accompli; dels hade de väckt omvärldens moraliska samvete inför det folkmord nationalsocialisterna var på väg att genomföra.</p>
<p>I Polen uppgick den judiska befolkningen i svunna tider till uppemot hälften av hela befolkningen. Efter den nazityska judeutrotningen och de antisemitiska kampanjer som drevs av den kommunistiska regimen efter kriget finns i dag troligen färre judar i Polen än i Sverige. 3000 av dem bor i Warszawa. Det hindrar inte att det finns en relativt livaktig judisk verksamhet i dagens Warszawa inklusive Teatr Zydowski (Judiska teatern) vid Grzybowskitorget, Nozyksynagogan på Twardagatan och Judiska historiska institutet på Tlomackiegatan</p>

<description><![CDATA[Dags för andra bloggartikeln där jag redovisar erfarenheter från min studieresa om Förintelsen i Pol]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dags för andra bloggartikeln där jag redovisar erfarenheter från min studieresa om Förintelsen i Polen med Svenska kommittén mot antisemitism (SKMA) 24-31 augusti. Jag utlovade i första artikeln, om Bodzentyn och Kielce, att det skulle bli sammanlagt tre artiklar. Jag har nu reviderat den planen till att omfatta fyra artiklar. Ämnet denna gång är det som hände i det lilla polska samhället Jósefów i sydöstra Polen, cirka 45 kilometer från gränsen till Ukraina, 1942.</p>
<p>Det beräknas att i mitten av mars 1942, två månader efter den beryktade Wannsee-konferensen i Berlin om den så kallade slutgiltiga lösningen på judefrågan,var fortfarande 75 till 80 procent av Förintelsens offer i livet; mellan 20 och 25 procent hade dödats vid den tidpunkten. Knappt ett år senare, i februari 1943, var statistiken den omvända. Lejonparten av det nazityska massmordet på judarna skedde i Polen i vad som närmast kan liknas vid ett &#8220;blixtkrig&#8221; med förfärande intensitet. Denna operation krävde en massiv offensiv med insättande av stora insatsgrupper. Samtidigt som detta skedde hade den tyska offensiven i Ryssland gått in i ett alltmer osäkert skede.</p>
<p>På morgonen den 13 juli 1942 gick den tyska 101. Polizei-Bataillon der Reserve  (Reservpolisbataljon 101) under ledning av major Trapp in i det lilla polska samhället Józefów, som ligger i Lublin-regionen i sydöstra Polen. Uppgiften var på papperet okomplicerad &#8211; man skulle skjuta byns judiska befolkning. Denna  hade redan tidigare drabbats av den nazityska folkmordspolitiken, då omkring 130 judar hade skjutits till döds på öppen gata den 11 maj av medlemmar i antingen Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei) eller Schupo (Schutzpolizei). Och den 13 juli, samma dag som den omtalade massakern ägde rum, mördades 300 unga judiska män från orten ombord på ett tåg som skulle föra dem till tvångsarbete i Lublin.</p>
<p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/J%C3%B3zef%C3%B3w_Bi%C5%82gorajski_Pomnik.jpg/180px-J%C3%B3zef%C3%B3w_Bi%C5%82gorajski_Pomnik.jpg" alt="" /> Ett minnesmärke över hjältar från Józefów 1863 respektive 1939-44.</p>
<p>Józefów hade grundats 1725 på den plats där den lilla floden Niepryszka springer fram. Vid Polens första delning kom den lilla staden 1772 att tillhöra Österrike. 1809 blev den en del av Herzogtums Warschau (hertigdömet Warszawa) då detta bildades. 1870 förlorade Józefów sina stadsrättigheter, vilka man inte återfick förrän 1988. I dag bor omkring 2500 personer på orten.</p>
<p>Massakern i Józefów har blivit internationellt känd främst tack vare den amerikanske historikern Christopher R. Brownings bok <em>Ordinary Men</em> (på svenska <em>Helt vanliga män</em>, Norstedts 2006, 282 sidor). Boken är en av de mest uppmärksammade som skrivits om Förintelsen under senare år och bygger på författarens minutiösa efterforskningar kring den tyska Reservpolisbataljon 101 från Hamburg i norra Tyskland. Brownings huvudtes är att de medelålders män som tjänstgjorde i denna militära enhet &#8211; de ansågs för gamla för att tjänstgöra i Wehrmacht eller SS - inte alls var några monstra i människoskepnad utan tvärtom helt vanliga män, vilka under speciella förhållanden blev kapabla till omänskliga gärningar.</p>
<p>Det var således inte enbart grymma insatskommandon som massakrerade judar inom ramen för den tyska offensiven i östra Europa. För att den slutgiltiga lösningen skulle kunna genomföras fick också vanliga ordningspoliser rycka in, och här var Reservpolisbataljon 101 ingalunda ensam. Browning ger en rad exempel på utrotningsaktioner av detta slag, men det är alltså det som skedde i Józefów jag valt att behandla här &#8211; främst för att jag besökt platsen.</p>
<p>Jag citerar Browning:</p>
<p>&#8220;Det var troligen den 11 juli som Globocnik (Odilo Globocnik, SS- och polischef, chef för judeutrotningen i det polska så kallade Generalguvernementet) eller någon i hans stab kontaktade major Trapp och informerade honom om att reservpolisbataljon 101 hade fått uppdraget att samla ihop de 1800 judarna i byn Józefów ett trettiotal kilometer sydost om Bilgoraj. Denna gång skulle flertalet judar dock inte förflyttas. Endast manliga judar i arbetsför ålder skulle skickas till ett av Globocniks läger i Lublin. Kvinnor, barn och åldringar skulle helt enkelt skjutas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Major Trapp var omvittnat upprörd över att ha tvingats mottaga denna order och lär ha gråtit som ett barn. Han uppges ha sagt till sin chaufför: &#8220;Om den här judehistorien någonsin vedergälls i detta jordiska, så Gud nåde oss tyskar.&#8221; Medan bataljonens befälhavare for runt och grät och beklagade sig högljutt över den givna ordern började dock mannarna i enheten förbereda sig för uppgiften. Browning igen:</p>
<p>&#8220;Underbefälen delade in en del av manskapet i patruller om två, tre eller fyra och skickade in dem i de judiska delarna av Józefów. Andra utsågs till livvakter och posterades längs gatorna mot torget eller på själva torget. När judarna drevs ut ur sina hus och de som inte kunde förflytta sig sköts, fylldes luften av skrik och gevärsskott.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/images/Holocaust/reserve1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Helt vanliga tyska män som blev Hitlers villiga bödlar.</p>
<p>Större delen av mördandet skedde i en skog på två sidor om en väg ett par kilometer från Jósefów. Dit fördes judarna i grupper om 40-50 personer, och båda exekutionsplutonerna fick förflytta sig i skytteltrafik mellan avlastningsplatsen vid vägen och skogen under hela dagen den 13 juli. Det hör till saken att major Trapp på morgonen hade erbjudit de äldre i bataljonen att stiga åt sidan om de inte trodde att de skulle orka med uppdraget. Bara tolv man av nära 500 hade gjort så utan att behöva riskera några efterräkningar.</p>
<p>Vid den rättegång som följde många år efter kriget &#8211; de åtalade fick försumbara straff eller frikändes &#8211; sökte de flesta ursäkta sig med att de inte hade annat val än att lyda order, men riktigt så enkelt var det ju inte. Soldaterna hade i början av operationen erbjudits att lämna in sina gevär och avstå från mördandet, men bara en handfull hade gjort detta. I stället gjorde man gällande att vid den tidpunkt då Trapp kom med sitt erbjudande hade man inte uppfattat vad han sade just då. Senare blev det för sent. En polisman erkände att han dödat ett 20-tal judar innan han fick nog.</p>
<p>En av bataljonens medlemmar, en 35-årig metallarbetare, gav följande bisarra och samtidigt oerhört skrämmande vittnesmål:</p>
<p>&#8220;Jag ansträngde mig att skjuta enbart barn, och det gick. Det var så att mödrarna höll barnen i handen. Min kamrat bredvid sköt då modern och jag sköt hennes barn, eftersom jag resonerade som så att barnet trots allt inte kunde leva vidare utan sin mor. Det skulle så att säga döva mitt samvete att jag befriade barn som var oförmögna att leva vidare utan sina mödrar.&#8221;</p>
<p>Medlemmarna i 101. Polizei-Bataillon der Reserve var alltså knappast ondskefullare än folk i gemen men blev ändå Hitlers villiga bödlar genom de speciella omständigheter som var för handen. Under följande 16 månader deltog samma enhet i mördandet av 38 000 judar och skickade iväg ytterligare 45 000 till koncentrationslägret Treblinka.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/images/Holocaust/Transport.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Transport till förintelselägret Treblinka.</p>
<p>Utanför Józefów finns ett enkelt minnesmärke i sten från 1974 i ena skogskanten vid den väg som skär igenom skogen där judarna sköts och sedan kastades  i massgravar. Eftersom minnesmärket restes under kommunisttiden anges att de mördade var offer för &#8220;hitlerismen&#8221;; kommunisterna var inte villiga att erkänna att nazismen faktiskt var en socialistisk rörelse, vilket ju termen &#8220;nationalsocialism&#8221; ger vid handen.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;La Mistificación de Auschwitz, una maquinación del Sionismo&#8217; por M. Soroush-Nejad</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;Tehran Times&#8217;, 25 de enero de 2001.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quizás la mayor mentira de la historia se delineó formalmente en 1946 durante los procesos de Nuremberg, en donde los victoriosos aliados, conjuntaron sus esfuerzos para validar el sufrimiento judío antes y durante la II Guerra Mundial. Ahí trataron de justificar sus prejuicios hipócritas en contra de los vencidos alemanes dependiendo casi exclusivamente en las llamadas confesiones del primer comandante de Auschwitz, Rudolf Hoess.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hoess, quien habría desaparecido al finalizar la guerra y adoptara una nueva identidad bajo el nombre Franz Lang, vivió y permaneció escondido en una granja al norte de Alemania. Ahí fue descubierto y capturado por sus cazadores en 1946 y fue llevado para interrogársele a las oficinas de Nuremberg.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Su interrogatorio fue conducido por un célebre equipo británico, especialistas en tortura bajo la dirección de un sargento judío del ejército británico llamado Bernard Clark. Después de tres días de intensa indagación, su inquisidor fue capaz de obtener una declaración de él en la cual cláramente confesaba haber gaseado 2.5 millones de personas, con un total de 3 millones durante su periodo como comandante del campo hasta que cerró en Noviembre de 1943.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Estas cifras obtenidas bajo coacción fueron las primeras grandes &#8216;meteduras de pata&#8217; de Clark y sus colegas interrogadores. El historiador polaco Franciszek Piper, director del departamento histórico del museo de Auschwitz, fijó el número de prisioneros enviados a Auschwitz desde abril de 1940 a enero de 1945 en 1.3 millones. Según la confesión de Hoess, él habría visitado los campos de Belzec y Treblinka en junio de 1941, en realidad, Belzec fue abierto en marzo de 1942 y el de Treblinka en julio de 1942.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Así, la piedra fundamental de la &#8216;historiografia oficial&#8217; de Auschwitz es una confesión obtenida por medio de la tortura. Demostraremos en otros artículos la auténtica história de Auschwitz y el destino de los judíos durante la II Guerra Mundial.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="2"></a>II.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;Tehran Times&#8217;, 29 de enero de 2001.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr. Younes Geranmayeh</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El campo de concentración de Auschwitz estaba situado en la Alta Silesia, nadie niega que ese fue un terrible lugar de sufrimiento humano, como demostraremos más tarde, aproximadamente 150 mil prisioneros murieron en Auschwitz, en su mayor parte por enfermedades tales como el temido tifus que era transmitido por los piojos, también por alimentación deficiente y agotamiento. Por supuesto, también ocurrieron algunas ejecuciones y ahorcamientos debidos a actos de resistencia y sabotaje.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El número de aproximadamente 150 mil víctimas significa que cerca del 38% de los 400 mil prisioneros registrados murieron en ese lugar, Sin embargo, según la &#8216;historia oficial&#8217; de Auschwitz, estas 150 mil víctimas sólo representaron una pequeña parte del total de muertos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Los historiadores exterminacionalistas afirman que Auschwitz no sólo sirvió como campo de trabajo sino también como campo de exterminio en donde los judíos de varios países europeos fueron asesinados en masa usando el pesticida &#8216;Zyklon B&#8217;. Según estos historiadores, los judíos que eran aptos para el trabajo eran perdonados de este destino temporalmente, mientras que los demás eran asesinados inmediatamente en las &#8220;cámaras de gas&#8221; sin haber sido previamente registrados. Según estos historiadores, los gaseos comenzaron a principios de 1942 en la morgue del crematorio de lcampo principal de Auschwitz (Auschwitz I). Desde la primavera de 1942 a la primavera de 1943, dos graneros en Birkenau, a dos millas del campo principal, presuntamente fueron utilizados como cámaras de gas. Desde la primavera de 1943 se dice que los gaseos en masa sucedieron en los cuatro crematorios de Birkenau.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En el proceso de Nuremberg, los soviéticos afirmaron que no menos de 4 millones de personas fueron asesinadas en Auschwitz, pero ningún historiador occidental jamás se ha atrevido a aceptar esta ridícula cifra. Raul Hilberg coloca el total de muertes en Auschwitz en 1 millón de judíos y 250 mil no-judíos, y en 1994, Jean-Claude Pressac, a quien los medios de comunicación entusiastamente le adjudican haber refutado a los revisionistas, declaró que entre 630 mil y 710 mil personas, judíos y no-judíos, murieron en Auschwitz.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Son significativas estas notables reducciones del número de muertos en Auschwitz y que no parecen afectar el sacrosanto número de los 6 millones de &#8220;víctimas del Holocausto&#8221;. Este número permanece tan inamovible como las pirámides de Egipto. Imagínese que se tienen 6 manzanas en una canasta, alguien come una, dos o incluso tres de ellas, pero al final siempre se tienen 6 manzanas en la canasta, de este tipo es la aritmética del Holocausto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mientras que los historiadores exterminacionalistas describen a Auschwitz como una fábrica de la muerte, los revisionistas sólo lo han considerado como un extenso campo de trabajo, con el fin de determinar quién tiene la razón, tenemos que resolver la cuestión capital de las cámaras de gas homicidas, ya que si no se prueba la existencia de éstas, no existe el arma homicida y consecuentemente el Holocausto tampoco.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;Tehran Times&#8217;, 1 de febrero de 2001</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr. Younes Geranmayeh</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En 1996, el historiador francés antirevisionista, Jacques Baynac, escribió dos amplios artículos en los cuales cándidamente admite que el relato oficial de las cámaras de gas se sostiene sólo en las declaraciones de testigos (1). De hecho, no existe evidencia documental de los gaseos, ni siquiera de un sólo ser humano, en los campos alemanes. En 1990 los rusos hicieron públicos los registros necrológicos de Auschwitz, en los cuales la administración nazi había registrado 66 mil muertes en el periodo entre mediados del año 1941 hasta finales de 1943. Cada página contiene el nombre, fecha y lugar de nacimiento, nacionalidad, religión así como la fecha y causa de la muerte del prisionero. Estos registros escritos representan una gran dificultad para los historiadores exterminacionalistas, ya que tienen que explicar la razón por la cual los alemanes, quienes supuestamente habían gaseado a millones de judíos en Auschwitz sin registrarlos, se tomaron tantas molestias en documentar cada caso de muerte natural.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El argumento &#8220;los alemanes destruyeron toda evidencia incriminatoria&#8221; es falso ya que después de la liberación de Auschwitz, los rusos encontraron aproximadamente 60 mil páginas de documentos en el Zentralbauleitung (edificio central administrativo). Este organismo fue el responsable de la construcción de los crematorios donde se pretende que estuvieron las cámaras de gas. En realidad, estas &#8220;cámaras de gas&#8221; sólo fueron morgues ordinarias en donde los cuerpos de los prisioneros que fallecían eran depositados para su posterior cremación. Al no haber descubierto los soviéticos ni un sólo documento que probara los gaseos homicidas tuvieron que fabricar &#8220;evidencia&#8221; y así probar las atrocidades del régimen del Nacional Socialismo. Pero todo el conjunto de documentos desaparecieron en los archivos rusos en donde permanecieron inaccesibles a los historiadores occidentales hasta hace más de una década.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No sólo los documentos alemanes del tiempo de la guerra no confirman la versión oficial del Holocausto, sino que directamente lo refutan. Por ejemplo, los registros que permanecen en el museo de Auschwitz muestran que 15,707 personas, en su mayoría judíos, recibieron atención médica en Monowitz, que era uno de los subcampos que integraban Auschwitz, entre julio de 1942 y junio de 1943. 766 de estas personas murieron, los restantes fueron liberados (2). ¿Cómo cuadra esto con una política de exterminio?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El relato &#8220;los judíos no aptos para trabajar eran asesinados&#8221; también es refutado por la documentación referida. Para nombrar uno de tantos ejemplos, está el reporte escrito emitido inmediatamente después de la liberación de Auschwitz por cuatro médicos judíos quienes habían practicado su profesión en el hospital del campo, los cuales contienen los nombres de aproximadamente mil pacientes judíos que los alemanes habían dejado ahí antes de evacuar el campo. Entres estos pacientes se encontraban 97 niños y 83 niñas entre uno y quince años, quienes habían sido deportados ahí junto con sus padres con el fin de evitar las separaciones de las familias (3). Si el relato del Holocausto fuese verdad, estos niños habrían sido considerados &#8220;consumidores inútiles de comida&#8221; y por consiguiente asesinados a su llegada al campo.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;Tehran Times&#8217;, 3 de febrero de 2001.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr. Younes Geranmayeh</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El hecho que la evidencia para el &#8220;mayor crímen de la historia&#8221; solamente recaiga en declaraciones de testigos, es muy embarazoso para los historiadores proholocaustistas, ya que en numerosas ocasiones ha sido demostrado la falta de congruencia de los testigos, particularmente de los judíos. En los Estados Unidos, Frank Walus, un obrero retirado de origen polaco, le fue promovido un juicio por parte de Simón Wiesenthal y su camarilla, acusándolo de atrocidades inimaginables en un campo de concentración alemán. No menos de 11 falsos testigos judíos declararon bajo juramento que habían visto personalmente a Walus torturando y asesinando a prisioneros judíos. Walus gastó casi todos sus ahorros y se endeudó para sostener su defensa. Finalmente obtuvo documentación desde Alemania que demostraba que durante toda la guerra él se había dedicado a labores de agricultura en una granja en Bavaria. La acusación se vino abajo y Walus fue absuelto (1).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Durante la guerra y en el periodo de postguerra inmediato, existieron toda clase de reportes truculentos de testigos que hablaban sobre judíos siendo exterminados por medio de electrocución, vapor y fuego. En 1945, el judío húngaro Stefan Szende afirmó que en el campo de Belzec millones de judíos habían sido asesinados en gigantescas celdas subterráneas: &#8220;El piso era metálico y sumergible. Los pisos de esos calabozos, con miles de judíos sobre ellos, se sumergían en agua que estaba contenida por un gran embalse, pero sólo hasta un nivel que sobrepasaba las caderas, entonces se enviaba una corriente eléctrica a través del agua. Después de unos momentos, todos los judíos, miles, de una sola vez morían.&#8221; (2)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Durante el proceso de Nuremberg, las autoridades polacas rindieron un reporte sobre Treblinka, según el cual, cientos de miles de personas habían sido asesinadas con vapor en ese campo (3). Ya en el año 1958, el nada confiable Elie Wiesel escribió que los alemanes acostubraban quemar en vida a los judíos en Auschwitz. &#8220;No muy lejos de aquí, emergían llamas resplandecientes de una fosa, llamas gigantescas, en las cuales ellos solían realizar incineraciones, un camión se acercaba hasta el borde y arrojaba su carga en la fosa, la cual estaba constituida ¡por niños pequeños y bebés!, ¡si, yo lo he visto con mis propios ojos!&#8221; Ningún historiador jamás ha reafirmado que los alemanes hayan quemado a los judíos en vida. Según el relato ofcial del &#8220;Holocausto&#8221;, fueron gaseados, pero aunque Wiesel pasó 8 meses en Auschwitz, nunca mencionó las cámaras de gas en su libro &#8216;La Nuit / La Noche&#8217; (5).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En el periodo de la postguerra, existieron numerosas declaraciones de testigos sobre gaseos homicidas en el campo de concentración de Dachau, cerca de Munich. Así, el médico checo Franz Blaha, declarando bajo juramento en el proceso de Nuremberg, declaró he él personalmente examinó los cadáveres de las personas gaseadas en ese campo (6). Pero los historiadores en la actualidad llegaron a la concusión que no existieron cámaras de gas en Dachau. ¿Por qué los reportes de los testigos correspondientes a supuestos gaseos en Auschwitz tendrían mayor credibilidad que los reportes dados sobre Dachau?</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;Tehran Times&#8217;, 7 de febrero de 2001</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr. Younes Geranmayeh</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un revisionista suizo, Juergen Graf, ha recolectado y analizado 30 testimonios sobre los supuestos gaseos homicidas en Auschwitz (1). Las declaraciones en estos testimonios caían en contradicciones técnicas y lógicas, y que ponían en entredicho su valor como evidencia. He aquí algunos ejemplos:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En los crematorios modernos, la incineración de un cadáver toma alrededor de una hora en promedio, pero según los testigos, este mismo procedimiento sólo requería una fracción de ese tiempo en Auschwitz. El judío checo Dov Paisikovic afirmó que tomaba sólo 4 (cuatro) minutos reducir un cadáver a cenizas. El judío húngaro Miklos Nyiszli reportó que 46 hornos en Birkenau podían incinerar 20 mil cadáveres por día.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Rudolf Hoess fue más modesto en sus &#8220;estimaciones&#8221;, después que los británicos lo extraditaron a Polonia donde posteriormente fue ahorcado, declaró que en Auschwitz 3 cadáveres podían ser incinerados en un solo quemador en sólo 20 minutos, pero incluso esta cifra es nueve veces inexacta. Algunos exprisioneros de Auschwitz, como el judío polaco Henry Tauber, afirmaron que los cadáveres podían ser incinerados sin el uso de algún comburente: es generalmente bien conocido que el cuerpo humano está constituido por al menos 60% de agua y que no se quemará sin la ayuda de algún comburente. Aún así, los historiadores del &#8220;Holocausto&#8221; como J. C. Pressac, quien considera a Tauber como un testigo presencial particularmente confiable, no toma en serio esta condición física del asunto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Otros testigos oculares sostuvieron que los prisioneros judíos que supuestamente tenían que desalojar las cámaras después de su uso, realizaban esta labor sin máscaras antigases en un ambiente saturado de gas cianuro de hidrógeno. Un famoso &#8220;superviviente del Holocausto&#8221; fue el judío eslovaco Filip Mueller, cuyo repulsivo best-seller titulado &#8220;Sonderbehandlung&#8221;, es citado por Raul Hilberg no menos de veinte veces en su libro de referencia sobre el &#8220;Holocausto&#8221; ¡y en donde se describe a sí mismo comiendo una tarta dentro de la cámaraa en un ambiente saturado de gas cianuro de hidrógeno! (2)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por supuesto, es imposible que los testigos coincidieran en la misma versión absurda sin haberse puesto previamente de acuerdo. El 2 de febrero de 1945, una semana después de la liberación de Auschwitz, el diario soviético &#8220;Pravda&#8221; había reportado una &#8220;cinta trasportadora&#8221; por medio de la cual &#8220;cientos de personas fueron asesinadas simultáneamente con una corriente eléctrica&#8221;. El corresponsal del Pravda, el judío Boris Polevoi, también mencionó las cámaras de gas, pero situadas incorrectamente, no en Birkenau, al oeste del campo principal, sino al este de Auschwitz. Posteriormente los comunistas polacos se ocuparon del asunto para que no volviese a repetirse esta clase de errores comprometedores. Tuvieron a su disposición muchos exprisioneros de Auschwitz antes de que declarasen ante una comisión, y se aseguraron que tales testigos coincidieran sobre el arma homicida y su localización. Las flagrantes imposibilidades que aún caracterizaron las declaraciones más o menos unánimes de los testigos sólo se explican por el hecho que acordaron qué decir antes de testificar o que fueron instruidos de antemano en lo que debían decir. Así, un testigo tras otro declaró que 4 millones de personas fueron asesinadas en Auschwitz.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;Tehran Times&#8217;, 17 de febrero de 2001</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr. younes Geranmayeh</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por décadas, ningún abogado y ningún periodista se han atrevido a cuestionar los embustes judíos que se presentaron como testimoniales de las &#8220;cámaras de gas&#8221;, y así estos embusteros fueron capaces de ir de un proceso legal a otro y de una conferencia de prensa a otra sin temor a ser desmentidos. Esta situación cambió en 1985, en el proceso del alemán de nacimiento Ernst Zundel en Canadá.(1)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El abogado de Zundel, Douglas Christie, sin clemencia interrogó al testigo número uno de las cámaras de gas, Rudolf Vrba. En abril de 1944, Vrba, un judío eslovaco, había volado desde Auschwitz junto con su compatriota y también judío Alfred Wetzler. En noviembre del mismo año, Vrba y Wetzler elaboraron un reporte en el cual describieron a Auschwitz como un campo de exterminio y fue publicado en Nueva York como parte del llamado &#8216;Reporte de la Junta de Refugiados de Guerra&#8217;. Veinte años después, Vrba escribió un libro sobre su estadía en Auschwitz (2).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En las páginas 10 a la 13 describió que Himmler visitó Auschwitz en enero de 1943, según él, un nuevo crematorio fue inaugurado durante esa visita, en Birkenau, junto con el gaseo e incineración de 3 mil judíos, mientras que el líder de las SS Heinrich Himmler observaba la agonía de las víctimas a través de la mirilla de la puerta de la cámara de gas. ¿Habría estudiado Vrba algún documento por medio del cual se habría enterado que Himmler visitó Auschwitz por última vez en julio de 1942 y que el primer crematorio de Birkenau fue abierto en marzo de 1943?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cuando Christie preguntó a Vrba si realmente había visto personalmente a Himmler en esa ocasión y como había afirmado en su libro, Vrba respondió: &#8220;Quizás fué él, quizás sólo fue un enviado. No creo que exista una gran diferencia&#8221;. Christie insistió: &#8220;¿Quisiera decir a esta corte si realmente vió a Himmler observando a través de la mirilla de la cámara de gas?&#8221; Vrba respondió: &#8220;No, no diría que estuve presente cuando él estaba observando a través de la puerta de la cámara, pero consigné un relato que escuché muchas veces de muchas personas&#8221;. Christie objetó: &#8220;Pero en su libro escribió que usted había visto todo y no menciona que sólo lo había escuchado de otros.&#8221; El impostor finalmente aceptó !que había utilizado &#8220;licencia poética&#8221; al escribir su libro! (3)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Así, la terrible acusación de genocidio descomunal en contra de la nación alemana, desde 1945 está fundamentada en las mentiras de rentables embusteros como Rudolf Vrba, Filip Mueller y Elie Wiesel, adicionalmente de las confesiones del excomandante de Auschwitz Rudolf Hoess, quien fue torturado por tres días por interrogadores británicos antes de que firmara su declaración ante sus atormentadores que ya la habían preparado.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr. Younes Geranmayeh</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si Auschwitz hubiese sido un campo de exterminio para judíos, virtualmente ningún judío habría sobrevivido, pero las memorias de los exprisioneros de Auschwitz podrían llenar una biblioteca. Sobrevivientes que hicieron de su experiencia una profesión, como Elie Wiesel, y quien se presenta a sí mismo como testigo viviente del Holocausto, representan, de hecho, pruebas vivientes que la supuesta exterminación de judíos nunca sucedió.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Incluso el trágico destino de la familia Frank no cuadra con el relato oficial de Auschwitz. La joven judía Ana Frank, quien se volvió mundialmente famosa después de su muerte gracias a su diario, el cual Robert Faurisson ha demostrado que fue escrito en gran parte por el padre de la niña después de la guerra (1), fue deportada de Amsterdam a Auschwitz en agosto de 1944.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Poco la después de esto, los alemanes comenzaron a evacuar el campo de Auschwitz debido a su cada vez peor situación militar. Ana y su hermana fueron enviadas a Bergen-Belsen en donde en poco tiempo sucumbieron ante el tifus, antes del fn de la guerra. Su madre murió en Auschwitz en enro de 1945, lo cual significa que bajo la versión oficial no pudo haber sido gaseada ya que ésta dice que los gaseos cesaron en octubre o noviembre de 1944. Su padre Otto sobrevivió a la guerra y murió en Suiza décadas después. El ejemplo de la familia Frank muestra que, mientras que los judíos eran intensamente perseguidos y grandes cantidades de ellos murieron debido a las pobres condiciones de los campos, nunca existió una política de exterminio. Si tal política hubiese existido, toda la familia hubiese sido gaseada en Auschwitz.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Muchos judíos fueron transferidos de un campo a otro sin riesgo de ser asesinados, de esta manera, Israel Gutman, quien posteriormente llegó a ser editor de la &#8216;Enciclopedia del Holocausto&#8217;, sobrevivió a Auschwitz, Majdanek, otro &#8220;campo de exterminio&#8221;, Mauthausen y Gunskirchen (2). Un tal Samuel Zylbersztain, judío polaco, sobrevivió a no menos de diez campos: El &#8220;campo de exterminio&#8221; de Treblinka, el &#8220;campo de exterminio&#8221; de Majdanek ¡y a ocho &#8220;campos ordinarios&#8221; en el transcurso! (3) Incidentalmente, estas transferencias frecuentes eran debido a la falta de mano de obra para la producción de guerra alemana: Los prisioneros eran enviados donde eran requeridos. Por supuesto, estos incesantes viajes facilitaron la transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas. ¡No necesitaríamos de las patrañas de las cámaras de gas para explicar las altas tasas de mortalidad en los campos de concentración!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Así, los incontables exprisioneros judíos de los campos de concentración quienes escribieron sus memorias después de la guerra, deben explicar cómo hicieron para sobrevivir a la &#8220;fábrica de muerte nazi&#8221;, de forma rutinaria ellos lo atribuyen a un milagro. De esta manera, un tal Moshe Peer afirmó en 1993 que había sobrevivido a no menos de seis gaseamientos en Bergen-Belsen (4), lo que hizo decir al humorista judío Ephraim Kishon: &#8220;Maravíllense, estuve de camino al campo de exterminio, pero fui capaz de escapar volando, ¡fue un milagro!&#8221; (5)</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="8"></a>VIII. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8216;Tehran Times&#8217;, 20 de febrero de 2001</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El primer investigador quien seriamente examinó los aspectos técnicos de los pretendidos gaseos en Auschwitz fue el profesor Robert Faurisson. Él estudió las técnicas de ejecución usadas en algunas penitenciarias de los Estados Unidos, donde las sentencias de muerte se cumplían con el uso del gas cianuro de hidrógeno. El cianuro de hidrógeno es el ingrediente activo del pesticida &#8216;Zyklon B&#8217;, el cual era embalado en forma de pelotitas sólidas que al contacto con el aire se dispersaba en forma de gas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Una ejecución por gas es un asunto peligroso, se deben tomar muchas precauciones y la cámara de gas debe ser hermética, de otra manera, la ejecucución podría tornarse en una situación de alto riesgo para los empleados de la penitenciaría. Faurisson, quien había visitado Auschwitz y estudiado los planos de los crematorios, se preguntó cómo es que más de 2 mil (2,000) personas pudieron haber sido asesinadas simultáneamente en esas habitaciones que no contaban con entradas herméticas y no contaban con instalaciones para introducir (y dispersar) el gas. Él concluyó que ningún gaseo con &#8216;Zyklon B&#8217; pudo haber sido realizado ahí, sin haber envenenado a las víctimas y contaminado las proximidades exteriores de la &#8220;cámara&#8221;, y que tampoco pudo haber sido posible remover los cadáveres inmediatamente después del &#8220;gaseo&#8221;, como los testigos unánimemente han declarado. (1)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En febrero de 1988, Faurisson y el revisionista germano-canadiense Ernst Zundel asignaron al estadounidense experto en instalaciones para ejecuciones, Fred Leuchter, y quien había construido cámaras de gas, que elaborase un reporte sobre las habitaciones señaladas como &#8220;cámaras de gas&#8221; en Auschwitz I, Birkenau y Majdanek. Leuchter se dirigió hacia Polonia apenas con el equipo necesario y a su regreso escribió el reporte que se ha convertido en un auténtico &#8220;rompehielos&#8221; y que constituyó la victoria científica del revisionismo (2). He aquí las conclusiones sobre Auschwitz:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">a) Las llamadas cámaras de gas en realidad son lo que en documentos alemanes se reporta como morgues. Debido a sus características físico-técnicas, no pudieron haber servido para fines homicidas, por medio de gaseos.<br />
b) La capacidad de los crematorios no pudo haber satisfecho ni una pequeña fracción del número de las víctimas sugeridas.<br />
c) Los análisis químicos del mortero de las paredes de las cámaras de gas no mostraron cantidades significativas de rastros ferro-cianuros. Por el contrario, los análisis sí mostraron una enorme cantidad de ferro-cianuros en las muestras tomadas de la cámara para despiojar de Birkenau.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El llamado Reporte Leuchter no fue del todo perfecto. Por ejemplo, Leuchter erróneamente afirmó que no había encontrado ningún sistema de ventilación en las &#8220;cámaras de gas&#8221;, y lo concerniente a los crematorios no fue del todo satisfactorio, ya que él no tenía competencia técnica en ese aspecto. Sin embargo, el aspecto químico se volvería decisivo, ya que sus conclusiones fueron totalmente confirmadas por Germar Rudolf mediante un estudio de carácter científico más completo.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Dr. Younes Geranmayeh</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En 1993, el químico alemán Germar Rudolf confirmó los resultados del reporte Leuchter en un estudio científico magistral (1). Él demostró que los orificios en el techo de la morgue del crematorio II en Birkenau, en donde varios cientos de judíos fueron gaseados según testigos, no existieron en el tiempo en que los asesinatos masivos supuestamente sucedieron. Los testigos hablaron de 4 orificios de perfil redondeado, pero los orificios que se observan en la actualidad son de forma irregular, adicionalmente, las barras de refuerzo que aún es evidente que atraviesan uno de los orificios muestran que tales orificios fueron hechos torpemente en la postguerra para crear la ilusión que eran orificios auténticos por donde se introducía el &#8216;Zlyklon B&#8217;, de esta manera, ¡se demostraría que el veneno no pudo haber sido introducido en la &#8220;cámara de gas&#8221;!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El pesticida &#8216;Zyklon B&#8217; consiste en cianuro de hidrógeno en una presentación granulada sólida. El gas es liberado a través del contacto con el aire. A temperatura normal, el contenido total del gas se volatiliza en dos horas. Para matar a las víctimas en un periodo de 5 a 15 minutos, como fue declarado por los testigos, se hubieran requerido enormes cantidades de &#8216;Zyklon B&#8217;. Bajo estas circunstacias, los trabajadores que presuntamente removieron los cadáveres después de cada gaseo no pudieron haber entrado a la cámara de gas inmediatamente después de la muerte de las víctimas, como los testigos lo aseguran, incluso hubiesen muerto si hubieran portado máscaras antigas, esto también fue demostrado fehacientemente en el reporte Rudolf.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Rudolf demostró que &#8220;la principal instalación de la muerte del Tercer Reich&#8221;, la morgue del crematorio II, nunca fue expuesta al &#8216;Zyklon B&#8217;. El cianuro de hidrógeno forma un pigmento extremadamente estable (ferro-cianuro) con el componente ferroso de los materiales de construcción. El pigmento se degrada tan lentamente como los materiales de construcción mismos y como lo muestran los diversos experimentos a través de décadas. Extremadamente altas concentraciones de compuestos cianuros se pueden encontrar todavía en los ladrillos de las cámaras para despiojar en Birkenau, mientras que en las pretendidas cámaras de gas en Krema II son insignificantes, y que aún es parcialmente factible entrar, pues está derrumbada desde finales de 1944 o principios de 1945. Esto nos lleva a la conclusión que ningún gaseo pudo haberse realizado ahí.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Utilizando el seudónimo Ernst Gauss, Rudolf editó la antología científica &#8220;Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte&#8221; (Fundamentos de Historia Contemporánea) en 1994. Una edición actualizada en inglés apareció en el año 2000 (2). Este libro, que resume los resultados de la investigación revisionista, es indispensable para cualquiera que esté interesado en la verdad sobre el Holocausto.</p>

<description><![CDATA[September 19, 2009.  Children were especially vulnerable in the era of the Holocaust.  The Nazis adv]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>September 19, 2009.  Children were especially vulnerable in the era of the Holocaust.  The Nazis advocated killing children of &#8220;unwanted&#8221; or &#8220;dangerous&#8221; groups in accordance with their ideological views, either as part of the &#8220;racial struggle&#8221; or as a measure of preventative security.  The Germans and their collaborators killed children both for these ideological reasons and in retaliation of real or alleged partisan attacks.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-79" title="06546" src="http://joedresch.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/06546.jpg?w=300" alt="06546" width="300" height="186" /><strong>Two young brothers, seated for a family photograph in Kovno ghetto.  One month later, they were deported to the Majdanek camp.                                            Lovno, Lithuania</strong>.                                <strong>February 1944</strong></p>
<p>The Germans and their collaborators killed as many as 1.5 million children, including over a million Jewish children and tens of thousands of Romani (Gypsy) children, German children with physical and mental disabilities living in institutions, Polish children, and children residing in the occupied Soviet Union.  The chances for survival for Jewish and some non-Jewish adolescents (13-18 years old) were greater, as they could be deployed at forced labor.</p>
<p>The fate of Jewish and non-Jewish children can be categorized in the following way:  1) children killed when they arrived in killing centers; 2) children killed immediately after birth or in institutions; 3) children born in ghettos and camps who survived because prisoners hid them; 4) children, usually over age 12, who were used as laborers and as subjects of medical experiments; and 5) those children killed during reprisal operations or so-called anti-partisan operations.</p>
<p>In the ghettos, Jewish children died from starvation and exposure, as well as lack of adequate clothing and shelter.  The German authorities were indifferent to this mass death because they considered most of the younger ghetto children to be unproductive and hence &#8220;useless eaters.&#8221;  Because children were generally too young to be deployed at forced labor, German authorities generally selected them, along with the elderly, ill, and disabled, for the first deportations to killing centers, or as the first victims led to mass graves to be shot.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-81" title="1998mdfg" src="http://joedresch.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/1998mdfg1.jpg?w=118" alt="1998mdfg" width="118" height="150" /></p>
<p><strong> Doll from the Krakow ghetto</strong></p>
<p>Upon arrival at Auschwitz-Birkenau and other killing centers, the camp authorities sent the majority of children directly to the gas chambers.  SS and police forces in German-occupied Poland and the occupied Soviet Union shot thousands of children at the edge of mass graves.  Sometimes, the selection of children to fill the first transports to the killing centers or to provide the first victims of shooting operations, resulted from the agonizing and controversial decisions of Jewish council (Judenrat) chairmen.  The decision by the Judenrat in Lodz in September 1942 to deport children to the Chelmno killing center, was an example of the tragic choices made by adults, when faced with German demands.  Janusz Korczak, director of an orphanage in the Warsaw ghetto, however, refused to abandon the children under his care when they were selected for deportation.  He accompanied them on the transport to the Treblinka killing center and into the gas chambers, sharing their fate.</p>
<p>Non-Jewish children from certain targeted groups were not spared.  Examples include Romani (Gypsy) children killed in Auschwitz concentration camp; 5,000 to 7,000 children killed as victims of the &#8220;euthanasia&#8221; program; children murdered in reprisals, including most of the children of Lidice; and children in villages in the occupied Soviet Union, who were killed with their parents.</p>
<p>The German authorities also incarcerated a number of children in concentration camps and transit camps.  SS physicians and medical researchers used a number of children, including twins, in concentration camps for medical experiments that often resulted in the deaths of the children.  Concentration camp authorities deployed adolescents, particularly Jewish adolescents, at forced labor in the concentration camps, where many died because of conditions.  The German authorities held other children under appalling conditions in transit camps, such as the case of Anne Frank and her sister in Bergen-Belsen, and non-Jewish orphaned children whose parents the German military and police units had killed in so-called anti-partisan operations.  Some of these orphans were held temporarily in the Lubin/Majdanek concentration camp and other detention camps.</p>
<p>In their &#8220;search to retrieve &#8220;Aryan blood&#8221;, SS race experts ordered hundreds of children in occupied Poland and the occupied Soviet Union to be kidnapped and transferred to the Reich to be adopted by racially suitable German families.  Although the basis for these decisions was &#8220;race-scientific&#8221;, often blond hair, blue eyes, or fair skin was sufficient to merit the &#8220;opportunity&#8221; to be &#8220;Germanized.&#8221;  On the other hand, female Poles and Soviet civilians who had been deported to Germany for forced labor and who had had sexual relations with a German man &#8211; often under duress &#8211; resulting in pregnancy, were forced to have abortions or to bear their children under conditions that would ensure the infant&#8217;s death, in the &#8220;race experts&#8221; determined that the child would have insufficient German blood.</p>
<p>In spite of their acute vulnerability, many children discovered ways to survive.  Children smuggled food and medicines into the ghettos, after smuggling personal possessions to trade for them out of the ghettos.  Children in youth movements, later participated in underground resistance activities.  Many children escaped with parents or other relatives &#8211; and sometimes on their own &#8211; to family camps run by Jewish partisans.</p>
<p>Between <strong>1938</strong> and <strong>1940</strong>, the Kindertransport (Children&#8217;s Transport) was the informal name of a rescue effort which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children (without their parents), to safety in Great Britain from Nazi Germany and German-occupied territories.  Some non-Jews hid Jewish children and sometimes, as in the case of Anne Frank, hid other family members as well.  In France, almost the entire Protestant population of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, as well as many Catholic priests, nuns, and lay Catholics, hid Jewish children in the town from <strong>1942</strong> to <strong>1944</strong>.  In Italy and Belgium, many children survived in hiding.</p>
<p>After the surrender of Nazi Germany, ending World War II, refugees and displaced persons searched throughout Europe for missing children.  Thousands of orphaned children were in displaced persons camps.  Many surviving Jewish children fled eastern Europe as part of the mass exodus (Brihah) to the western zones of occupied Germany, en route to the Yishuv (the Jewish settlement in Palestine).  Through Youth Aliyah (Youth Immigration), thousands migrated to the Yishuv, and then to the state of Israel after its establishment in <strong>1948</strong>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Jag hade nyligen förmånen att få göra en studieresa till Polen i arrangemang av Svenska kommittén mot antisemitism (SKMA). Här följer den första av tre bloggartiklar med intryck från denna resa. Syftet var främst att studera den nationalsocialistiska Förintelsen.</p>
<p>I resan ingick också den högtidliga återinvigningen av den judiska begravningsplatsen i Bodzentyn, vilken restaurerats bland annat med hjälp av bidrag från Sverige och SKMA. Eftersom jag själv bidragit med en slant var det en särskild upplevelse att bevista denna invigning, som skedde i närvaro av bland andra Polens chefsrabbin Michael Schudrich samt kantorn vid Stora synagogan i Stockholm, Maynard Gerber. Medverkade gjorde även Bodzentyns borgmästare samt representanter för den katolska kyrkan, vars kyrkoherde bidragit aktivt till upprustningen.</p>
<p>Den viktigaste deltagaren var dock utan tvivel Max Safir (född Manes Szafir), en av de få judar i Bodzentyn som överlevde Förintelsen och som sedan många år är bosatt i Sverige; att den obrutne och fysiskt kraftfulle Max är 84 år kan man knappast tro! Det var meningen att Max pappa, Icek Szafir, skulle ha tagit hand om platsen &#8211; sedan kom dock kriget emellan och fadern dog i en gaskammare.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.bodzentyn.net/img/pages/photos/jewish_council_1187_3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Bodzentyns judiska råd före krigsutbrottet.</p>
<p>Den judiska begravningsplatsen i utkanten av den lilla staden Bodzentyn, belägen nordväst om Kraków, var allt som blev kvar då ghettot i staden likviderades av de tyska styrkorna 1942. De första judarna bosatte sig i Bodzentyn kring sekelskiftet 1700/1800. Det dröjde emellertid till 1862 innan de &#8220;mosestroende&#8221; tillerkändes medborgerliga rättigheter, och 1876 erkändes den judiska församlingen officiellt av de lokala myndigheterna. 1917 uppgick Bodzentyns befolkning om nära 4000 personer till nästan hälften av judar. De miserabla förhållandena under mellankrigstiden med ty åtföljande emigration, icke minst till Toronto i Kanada, gjorde dock att den judiska befolkningen reducerades ner till cirka 30 procent före Andra världskrigets utbrott. Flera ättlingar till dessa fanns för övrigt med vid den ovan nämnda återinvigningen av Bodzentyns judiska begravningsplats.</p>
<p>Förhållandet mellan Bodzentyns etniskt polska och judiska kommuniteter hade länge varit relativt gott, låt vara att det förekom antisemitiska aktioner. David Rubinowicz, en pojke som var bosatt i Bodzentyn och vars dagbok återfanns efter kriget samt utkom i svensk översättning 1960 med titeln <em>Davids dagbok</em>, skriver följande om en sådan incident i Krajno inte långt från Bodzentyn:</p>
<p>&#8220;12 februari. Efter frukosten gick vi ut för att skotta snö, trots att ingen sagt till om det, för vägen hade blivit igensnöad under natten. Jag kände igen församlingsvakten, frågade honom vart han skulle och han sa, att han var på väg till byäldsten med ett anslag.(&#8230;) Det var (&#8230;) en karikatyr av judarna. (&#8230;) Överskriften på anslaget är följande: Juden är en bedragare, din ende fiende. Och under står skrivet: Stanna, broder, och begrunda/Hur du drivs av judehundar./Råttor i din mat du får,/I din mjölk de vatten slår,/Deg där feta maskar krälar/Knådar de med judehälar./ När vakten spikade upp det gick folk just från skottningen och de skrattade så att jag fick ont i huvudet.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lesefutter.ch/typo3temp/pics/77ce7a44ce.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Polens första ghetto tillkom första krigsåret 1939. Inom drygt ett års tid fanns det drygt 100 ghetton. Till dessa ghetton tvångsförflyttades judar från närliggande områden, men också judar vilka deporterats från Tyskland, Österrike och andra delar av det tyskockuperade  Europa. Till Bodzentyn, där det vid tillfället fanns omkring 1100 judar, fördes ett större antal judar från staden Plock hösten 1940. Från våren 1941 hänvisades judarna i Bodzentyn till ett getto och fick inte lämna staden. De som rörde sig i den övriga staden utan giltig passersedel sköts med nackskott av nationalsocialisterna. Liksom i alla andra polska getton var förhållandena i det i Bodzentyn omvittnat hemska.</p>
<p>Liksom i andra naziockuperade polska städer tvångshämtades Bodzentyns judiska och polska män och pojkar till tvångsarbeten av olika slag. Max Safir sattes att arbeta i bland annat Herrmann Goering Werke i närbelägna Starachowice, där ammunition tillverkades. Här, liksom i sågverket och stålverket, förekom omänskligt hårt tvångsarbete. Max Zafir undgick med knapp nöd att skjutas av en tysk befattningshavare. Han fortsatte sedan till andra anhalter inom ramen för den tyskledda judeutrotningen, bland annat förintelselägret Auschwitz.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.bodzentyn.net/img/pages/photos/bodzentyn_vy.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Dagens Bodzentyn, vackert beläget med kringliggande grönska.</p>
<p>Likvideringen av ghettot i Bodzentyn skedde hösten 1942. Aktionen verkställdes i samband med den judiska högtiden Jom Kippur och gick till så att alla judar samlades på stadens torg för att därpå föras till den närliggande staden Suchedniów. Härifrån togs de till dödslägret Treblinka och gick under i Förintelsen. När man spankulerar omkring i dagens fridfulla småstadsidyll, kanske slinker in på en bar och inmundigar ett glas av det goda polska ölet Zywiec, är det nästan omöjligt att föreställa sig de fruktansvärda scener som måste ha utspelt sig här en gång.</p>
<p>Inte så långt från Bodzentyn ligger den större staden Kielce, huvudort i regionen med samma namn. Det var i Kielce Max Safir växte upp. Liksom i andra polska städer drabbades Kielces judar av de tyska nazisternas hårda ockupations- och förintelsepolitik, men det är för en pogrom som inträffade mer än ett år efter krigsslutet som Kielce är mest beryktat i antisemitiska sammanhang.</p>
<p>Huset som är förknippat med denna sinistra del av Polens historia ligger på gatan Planty 7 strax intill ån som flyter genom staden. Den 4 juli 1946 spreds ett rykte om att en liten pojke som försvunnit hade tillfångatagits av stadens judar, som antogs skulle använda pojkens blod för att utföra religiösa ritualer &#8211; ett stående inslag i den antisemitiska mytbildningen genom historien. Våldsamma upplopp utbröt och 42 judar, vilka anlänt till Kielce efter krigsslutet, massakrerades. Bland dödsoffren fanns en gravid kvinna, ett nyfött spädbarn samt tonåringar från en kibbutz. Attackerna hade framprovocerats av stadens kommunistiska myndigheter genom dessas inkompetenta hantering av den explosiva situationen.</p>
<p>Pogromen i Kielce var den värsta i sitt slag, men det förekom antisemitiska eruptioner och försök till pogromer över hela det efterkrigstida Polen i städer som Kraków, Rzeszów, Tarnów, Kalisz, Lublin, Paczewo och Kolbuszowa. I inget av dessa fall tycks de styrande kommunisterna, som tillskansat sig makten i Polen efter krigsslutet, hade brytt sig nämnvärt. Kommunisterna hade därtill sin egen antijudiska agenda, vilket var en naturlig sak i det sovjetdominerade Östeuropa (liksom i själva Sovjetunionen) där judarna användes som syndabockar för samhälleliga fel och brister.</p>
<p>Efter den fruktansvärda pogromen i Kielce valde tusentals judar att fly Polen, och samma sak upprepades vid flera andra tillfällen under den efterföljande historien där den största utvandringsvågen skedde i samband med antijudiska utrensningar 1968. I dag finns omkring 5000 judar kvar i ett Polen där en gång närmare hälften av befolkningen hade judiska anor.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.mut-gegen-rechte-gewalt.de/w/gfx/large/artikel-news/78029602_coffin_lg.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Dödsoffren för pogromen i Kielce 1946 begravs inför en stor folkmassa.</p>
<p>Frågan är om de antisemitiska stämningarna helt har dött ut i Kielce. På den byggnad som en gång inrymde stadens synagoga syns nämligen resterna efter några ditklottrade rader med texten &#8220;Kaiole do Izraela&#8221;, vilket lär vara polska för &#8220;Död åt Israel.&#8221;</p>

<p>Il ricordo dei <a href="http://www.repubblica.it/2009/09/sezioni/esteri/polonia-anniversario/merkel-anniversario/merkel-anniversario.html">Settanta anni dall&#8217;aggressione tedesca (e sovietica)</a> alla Polonia &#8211; 1 settembre 1939 &#8211; ha riportato l&#8217;attenzione anche sulla&#8221; memoria&#8221; della guerra, l&#8217;attribuzione delle responsabilità, l&#8217;uso della storia per fini politici: per esempio Putin che giustifica ancora il patto Molotov-Ribbentrop o che mette sul tavolo i <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/01/russia-poland-nazis-secret-documents">documenti russi </a> , resi pubblici in questi giorni, che dovrebbero dimostrare che  la Polonia stava tramando con i nazisti contro l&#8217;Urss, facendosi portavoce ufficiale di quello che Bernardo Valli su <em>Repubblica</em> ha chiamato nuovo &#8220;<a href="http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2009/09/02/il-fantasma-di-stalin.html">nazionalismo staliniano</a>&#8220;.<br />
O, ancora, il peso dei propri morti nella seconda guerra mondiale nel confronto attuale fra Russia e Ucraina e Bielorussia.</p>
<p>In un articolo/saggio: &#8220;<a href="http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22875"><strong>Holocaust: The Ignored Reality</strong></a>&#8220;, pubblicato sulla <em>New York Review of Books</em> del 16 luglio, <a id="v9v7" title="Timothy Snyder" href="http://www.nybooks.com/authors/11193">Timothy Snyder</a> (uno storico che insegna a Yale) sostiene che le nostre conoscenze, comprensione  e percezioni dello <strong>sterminio deliberato delle popolazioni europee,</strong> fra gli anni Trenta e il 1945 debbano essere riviste: sarebbero deformate dalla <em>memoria</em>, a scapito della <em>storia</em>.<br />
L&#8217;articolo <strong>non rivela nulla di nuovo</strong>, mette solo in fila i dati, ci invita a tenere ben conto delle dimensioni dei fatti per comprendere la portata degli eccidi. Soprattutto, dice Snyder, il nostro è un<strong> problema &#8220;geografico&#8221;</strong>:</p>
<p><!--moreContinua...--><br />
tendiamo a dimenticare che la stragrande maggioranza delle persone assassinate si trovasse nell&#8217;Europa orientale: fra il 1933 e il 1945 <strong>12 milioni di persone</strong> vennero uccise (con mezzi diversi) da nazisti e sovietici nell&#8217;area geografica che comprende le attuali <strong>Bielorussia, Ucraina, Polonia, Lituania e Lettonia</strong>. (Ovviamente non vengono inclusi nel conteggio i soldati morti in battaglia).</p>
<p>Snyder sottolinea anche l&#8217;intrecciarsi fra le politiche hitleriane e quelle staliniane, su queste terre, fra gli anni &#8216;30 e la fine della guerra, con una prospettiva che è esattamente quella di quel libro terribile e grandioso che è <strong><em><a id="nu:c" title="Vita e Destino" href="../tag/vasilij-grossman/">Vita e Destino</a></em> di Vassilj Grossman</strong>, del quale parecchio si è parlato in questo blog.</p>
<h4>Gli ebrei dell&#8217;est</h4>
<p>In primo luogo la <strong>Shoa</strong>.<br />
Conosciamo soprattutto Auschwitz: questo perché Auschwitz era un campo di lavoro forzato oltre che un campo di sterminio; e da Auschwitz tornarono quindi dei sopravvissuti che ci <strong>raccontarono la loro esperienza</strong>.<br />
E visto che ad Auschwitz vennero deportati quasi esclusivamente ebrei dell&#8217;Europa occidentale, la memoria che abbiamo dello sterminio è quasi solo questa.</p>
<p>Dai campi della morte dell&#8217;est invece i sopravvissuti furono pochissimi; e ai pochi sopravissuti che potevano narrare le storie degli ebrei che vivevano in Unione Sovietica fu impedito di raccontare lo sterminio come una storia specificamente ebraica: la storia ufficiale sovietica voleva che si parlasse in generale di vittime &#8220;sovietiche&#8221;. Le due grandi vicende hanno dunque avuto forza &#8220;narrativa&#8221; incomparabilmente diversa.</p>
<p>Eppure, quando la maggior parte degli ebrei dell&#8217;Europa occidentale venne assassinata, nel 1943 e 1944, gli ebrei polacchi e sovietici erano già stati sterminati. Due terzi del totale degli ebrei morti durante la Shoa (in tutto 5,7 milioni) venne assassinata prima della fine del 1942. In qualche modo, dice Snyder, gli ebrei dell&#8217;est è come se fossero <strong>ai margini della memoria</strong> dello sterminio. (Paradossalmente, viene quasi da dire, il romanzo controverso, ma che ha avuto un certo successo, di <strong>Jonathan Littel</strong>, <a href="http://www.ibs.it/code/9788806194901/littell-jonathan/benevole.html"><em>Le Benevole</em> &#8211; Einaudi</a> &#8211; ci ha raccontato nei minimi dettagli lo sterminio degli ebrei a Est ma <strong>dal punto di vista di un ufficiale delle SS</strong>).</p>
<h4>Carestie e pallottole in Ucraina e Bielorussia</h4>
<p>Anche delle eliminazioni di massa pianificate e messe in opera dal <strong>regime staliniano</strong>, dice Snyder, spesso abbiamo una conoscenza consapevole distorta.<br />
Tendiamo a identificare il Gulag come il massimo dell&#8217;orrore sovietico. Anche in questo caso perché dai Gulag molti tornarono, la stragrande maggioranza, e di questa esperienza abbiamo molte testimonianze (vennero internate circa 30 milioni di persone).</p>
<p>Ricordiamo invece poco che la politica di sterminio sovietico si fondò soprattutto sulle fucilazioni e sulla deliberata <strong>morte per fame</strong> di milioni di persone, attraverso le carestie provocate appositamente.<br />
Anche qui la <strong>geografia</strong> è importante: lo sterminio per fame durante la collettivizzazione del 1930-33 e le fucilazioni di massa durante  il Grande Terrore del 1937-38 colpirono soprattutto la popolazione ucraina e alcune minoranze etniche (oltre 630 mila persone), mentre le vittime delle epurazioni nel Partito comunista, nella polizia e fra gli ufficiali dell&#8217;esercito furono 47 mila.<br />
In particolare, le fucilazioni di massa durante il terrore (l&#8217;eliminazione dei &#8220;Kulaki&#8221;) ebbero come bersagli &#8211; almeno in parte &#8211; le stesse popolazioni colpite dalla collettivizzazione forzata (quindi soprattutto ucraini).</p>
<h4>La portata dello sterminio nazista e sovietico</h4>
<p>Per restituire l&#8217;esatto profilo degli anni dello sterminio deliberato delle popolazioni civili fra il 1930 e il 1945, Snyder riassume le cifre delle operazioni a est e nel contesto globale degli omicidi di massa nazisti e sovietici, in cinque differenti gruppi:</p>
<p>- L&#8217;opera di sterminio degli <strong>ebrei</strong> <strong>da parte dei nazisti </strong>(circa 5,7 milioni di morti). Di questi:<br />
Circa 3 milioni uccisi durante l&#8217;Operazione Reinhardt: la soppressione degli ebrei polacchi,  a Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor e in altri campi della morte nel 1942 e nelle fucilazioni di massa nella parte orientale della Polonia.<br />
Un milione di ebrei venne invece sterminato dagli <strong>Einsatzgruppen delle SS</strong> in Unione Sovietica e nei Paesi Baltici nel 1941; altri 700 mila vennero fucilati dai nazisti e dai collaborazionisti nel 1942 in Unione Sovietica. Un milione di ebrei, infine, venne uccisa ad Auschwitz.</p>
<p>- L&#8217;opera di sterminio di <strong>cittadini sovietici da parte dei nazisti</strong> causando la morte deliberata per fame (4 milioni di persone): 3 milioni di soldati sovietici nei campi di prigionia tedeschi; un milione di persone lasciate morire deliberatamente di fame nell&#8217;assedio di Leningrado e in altre carestie pianificate in alcune città dell&#8217;Ucraina.</p>
<p>- <strong>Le rappresaglie dei tedeschi contro i civili</strong> (almeno 750 mila morti): si tratta di azioni collegate alle operazioni contro i partigiani locali, soprattutto in Bielorussia (350 mila), Polonia e Jugoslavia.<br />
I tedeschi furono dunque responsabili dell&#8217;uccisione diretta di <strong>10 milioni di civili</strong>, nella stragrande maggioranza nell&#8217;Europa Orientale e in Unione Sovietica.</p>
<p>- Lo sterminio dei cittadini sovietici da parte del <strong>governo sovietico</strong> attraverso la <strong>morte per fame</strong> durante le collettivizzazioni (5,5 milioni).</p>
<p>- Le <strong>fucilazioni di massa dei cittadini sovietici</strong> da parte del governo sovietico (700 mila morti) durante il grande Terrore del 1937-1938.</p>
<p>Oltre alle operazioni contro alcune minoranze etniche, anche durante la seconda guerra mondiale, come nei Paesi Baltici o ai danni di polacchi (come a Katyn).</p>
<p>In un intervento successivo &#8211; <a href="http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22980">13 agosto 2009</a> &#8211; Snyder, sintetizza per chiarire: ci sono grosso modo tre gruppi di vittime europee di dimensioni comparabili:<br />
- Ebrei uccisi dai tedeschi<br />
- Non ebrei uccisi dai tedeschi<br />
- Cittadini sovietici uccisi dal governo sovietico.<br />
A un lettore che gli ha fatto notare come nel suo saggio non fossero citati i <strong>Sinti e i Roma</strong> (le stime oscillano fra i 225mila e 1,5 milioni) Snyder dice di aver considerato queste vittime dentro il secondo gruppo.</p>
<p>L&#8217;articolo di Snyder, infine, merita la lettura anche per la sintesi con cui tratteggia i progetti nazisti in caso di vittoria a est, con la pianificazione dello sterminio di quantità di popolazioni slave in numero addirittura superiore a quello degli ebrei.<br />
Una lettura pesante, che lascia il segno, anche se son poche pagine; che costringe a immaginare, con calma, l&#8217;immensità della tragedia, incommensurabile, che sta dietro tutti quei numeri così freddi.<br />
Agghiacciante.<br />
Come sempre in questo caso, la questione è non dimenticare, ricostruire le vicende con precisione.  E anche i numeri aiutano a farlo.<br />
Anche se restano in mente le parole di Eric J. Hobsbawm, che in <a href="http://www.ibs.it/code/9788817019347/hobsbawm-eric-j/secolo-breve-1914-1991.html">Il Secolo Breve</a> (Rizzoli) scrive:</p>
<blockquote><p>In ogni caso che cosa significa l&#8217;esattezza statistica quando gli ordini di grandezza sono così elevati? [...] Possiamo davvero comprendere cifre che oltrepassano la nostra capacità di intuire una realtà fisica?</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="0"></a>PRESUNTOS MÉTODOS HOMICIDAS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Según la tesis oficial hoy en boga, para perpetrar sus masacres en masa los nazis habrían recurrido a tres métodos (1):</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:justify;">- Las privaciones y los golpes (sobre todo en los ghetos y en los campos de concentración).</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:justify;">- El fusilamiento al aire libre por los &#8220;EINSATZGRUPPEN&#8221; (1,3 millones de judíos habrían muerto de esta manera, especialmente en la URSS, y en Serbia).</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:justify;">- El gaseamiento homicida, bien en las cámaras de gas (de AUSCHWITZ-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Maidanek, Sobibor), bien en los camiones de gas (en Chelmno).</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="1"></a>UN UNIVERSO DANTESCO REPLETO DE OBJETOS INFERNALES</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Muchos creen que esta versión de los hechos nació, a grandes rasgos, en Nuremberg, antes de ser concretada en los años posteriores merced a las investigaciones de los historiadores. Esto es un error. En NUREMBERG, los alemanes fueron acusados de haber creado un mundo digno de las más terribles películas de horror, lleno de los instrumentos mas diversos y horribles, para asesinar a sus víctimas en masa. Entre ellos citamos la cámara eléctrica, la cámara a vapor, la cámara a gas primitiva de madera, así como una infernal maquina de aplastar cabezas. Se llegó incluso a hablar de una especie de bomba atómica que habría sido utilizada a fin de volatilizar a 20.000 judíos cerca de Auschwitz. Ha sido preciso esperar al apaciguamiento de las pasiones surgidas del conflicto para que una tesis mas sobria y mas creíble (aunque no correctas a pesar de todo) fuera adoptada.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="2"></a>MAS EXAGERADO QUE LA SILLA ELECTRICA: LA CAMARA ELECTRICA DEL CAMPO DE BELZEC (2)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tomando la palabra en la audiencia del 19 de enero de 1946, el abogado general soviético en Nuremberg, el coronel Smirnov, sostenía que había sido construida una cámara eléctrica en el campo de Belzec en 1942.</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 577:</p>
<p>Atraigo la atención del Tribunal sobre el reverso de la página 136 del libro de documentos; es un informe del Gobierno polaco que prueba que el campo de Sobibor fue establecido durante el primer y segundo periodo de la liquidación de ghettos judíos. Pero la principal ola de exterminio pasó por este campo a principios de 1.943. En este mismo informe encontramos en la ultima línea de la página 136 del libro de documentos que el campo de Belzec fue creado en 1940, pero hasta 1942 no fue instalado un aparato eléctrico especial para el exterminio en masa de personas. Bajo el pretexto de conducirles al baño se les obligaba a desnudarse y se les empujaba hacia el edificio donde el suelo estaba electrificado y eran asesinados de esta manera.</p>
<p>Se tiene la costumbre de dividir los campos de concentración germano-fascistas en dos grupos: los campos de concentración &#8220;de trabajo&#8221; y los &#8220;campos de exterminio&#8221;. Yo creo que esta clasificación no es exacta, pues los campos de concentración &#8220;de trabajo&#8221; servían igualmente para el exterminio de personas.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El coronel Smirnov fundaba probablemente su convicción en un informe del Gobierno polaco fechado en 1943 y que fue leído posteriormente el 29 de abril de 1946 por el substituto del procurador general británico, el teniente-coronel Griffith-Jones. Este interrogaba a Julius STREICHER:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, XII, 376</p>
<p>&#60;29 abril 1946</p>
<p>&#8220;el &#8220;Israelitisches Wochenblatt&#8221; del 5 de marzo de 1943 decía lo siguiente: &#8220;Hitler en su proclamación del 24 de febrero, ha divulgado de nuevo que su fin era la exterminación de los judíos de Europa&#8221;.</p>
<p>¿Habéis creído a vuestro muy querido Führer cuando decía exactamente lo mismo que el &#8220;Israelitisches Wochenblatt&#8221;, las Naciones Unidas y el &#8220;Times&#8221; de Londres?:</p>
<p>ACUSADO STREICHER.- No Yo declaro aquí que cualquiera que haya conocido como yo al Führer, su alma y sus profundos sentimientos como su testamento y se le diga que en plena posesión de sus facultades ha dado a sabiendas la orden de masacrar a los judíos, se sentirá perplejo. Y yo declaro aquí&#8230;..</p>
<p>TENIENTE-CORONEL GRIFFITH-JONES.- No deseamos oír realmente un largo discurso sobre el Führer. Pasad la página y ved lo que está escrito el 26 de marzo de 1943:&#8221;El informe del Gobierno polaco sobre las medidas tomadas contra la población judía es reproducido en la prensa inglesa. Un pasaje dice así &#8220;En la ciudad de Vilna, 50.000 judíos han sido asesinados; en Rovno, 14.000; en Lemberg, la mitad de la población judía. Se dan igualmente muchos detalles sobre el empleo de gases asfixiantes, como en Chelmno, o de electricidad en Belzec, sobre deportaciones en Varsovia, sobre el cercamiento de manzanas enteras de casas y sobre ataques con ametralladora</p>
<p>¿Habéis leído este articulo?</p>
<p>ACUSADO STREICHER.- No se nada de eso. Salvo que, por supuesto, se trate de ejecuciones en casos de sabotajes cometidos por los judíos.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="3"></a>LA CAMARA ELECTRICA SE TRANSFORMA EN CAMARA DE MONOXIDO DE CARBONO</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hoy, sin embargo, ningún historiador osa mencionar esta pretendida instalación de muerte que habría sido construida en el campo de Belzec. Fundándose sobre la &#8220;confesión&#8221; del SS Kurt GERSTEIN, las autoridades afirman que, en este campo, las cámaras funcionaban &#8230;con gas 16):</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;EL ACONTECIMIENTO DEL JUEVES&#8221;, 2 al 8 de junio de 1944.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Extracto del articulo titulado: &#8220;La misión trágica de Kurt Gerstein: convertirse en un canalla en el nombre del Bien&#8221; (pag.78):</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Lo que pasó aquel día, 17 de agosto de 1942 en Belzec lo sabemos por el &#8220;informe GERSTEIN&#8221;, tal como fue redactado en 1945, cuando el interesado se entrego voluntariamente al ejercito francés. Informe escrito en un francés sincopado, de ortografía y sintaxis caóticas, a la medida de la asfixia del testigo de millares de asfixias.</p>
<p>De Lemberg llegaron 45 vagones conteniendo 6 700 personas, de las cuales 1.450 estaban ya muertas. Citamos lo indecible, dicho por Gerstein:</p>
<p>En las cámaras los SS estrujan a los hombres. ¡Llenadlas bien!- ha ordenado Wirth. 700, 800 seres en 25 metros cuadrados, en 45 metros cúbicos!. Las puertas se cierran.. Mientras tanto el resto del tren, desnudos, esperan. Los SS se afanan por poner en marcha el motor DIESEL. ¡Pero no arranca! Wirth llega. Tiene miedo porque yo estoy viendo el desastre. Sí, yo veo todo y espero. Mi cronometro ha fijado todo: 50 minutos, 70 minutos.. ¡y el Diesel no arranca!.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="4"></a>TRAS LAS HUELLAS DE DENIS PAPIN O LAS CAMARAS DE VAPOR DEL CAMPO DE TREBLINKA</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un mes antes que el coronel Smirnov, el sustituto del procurador general americano, el comandante Walsh, había mencionado otro tipo de cámara que habría sido puesta a punto por los nazis diabólicos: las cámaras de vapor homicidas. Estas habrían funcionado en el campo de Treblinka, permitiendo asesinar a &#8220;varias centenas de miles de judíos&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI,III, 570-571</p>
<p>COMANDANTE WALSH.- Lo sé Sr. Presidente, procede primitivamente del Gobierno polaco pero a lo mejor ha sido distribuida por Londres. Cito: &#8220;En el curso del mes de julio de l944, se liquidaban 12.000 judíos húngaros por día. Los hornos crematorios no podían absorber semejante numero y muchos cuerpos fueron arrojados en grandes fosas que después se recubrían de cal viva&#8221;:</p>
<p>Presento como prueba el documento PS-3311 (USA 293):Es un acta oficial de la Comisión del Gobierno polaco para la investigación de crímenes alemanes contra Polonia. Este documento describe el campo de concentración de Treblinka, y, en la página 1, párrafos 3 y 4, leo:</p>
<p>En marzo de 1942, los alemanes comenzaron a instalar otro campo, Treblinka B, cerca de Treblinka A, que llegaría a ser un lugar de torturas para los judíos. La construcción de este campo estaba estrechamente ligada al plan alemán de exterminación de la población judía de Polonia, que necesitaba la creación de una organización que permitiera la matanza de judíos polacos en gran cantidad. A finales de abril de 1942. la construcción de las tres primeras cámaras estaba terminada y las masacres en masa que tendrían lugar allí serían por vapor. Un poco mas tarde, fue terminada la construcción del verdadero edificio de la muerte con diez cámaras de muerte. Todo estuvo a punto para los asesinatos en masa a comienzos del otoño de 1942.&#8221;</p>
<p>En la página 3 de este acta, párrafo 2·, la Comisión polaca describe el procedimiento de exterminio en el interior de este campo:</p>
<p>&#8220;La cifra media de judíos liquidados en este campo durante el verano de 1942 era alrededor de dos trenes por día, pero había días en que el rendimiento era bastante superior. A partir del otoño de 1942 este número fue decreciendo</p>
<p>Después de desembarcar a todas las víctimas en los andenes, eran agrupadas en un lugar, separando a los hombres de las mujeres y los niños. En los primeros días de funcionamiento de este campo, se hacia creer a las víctimas que iban a permanecer poco tiempo, sólo el tiempo necesario, para el baño y la desinfección, después se les enviaría a trabajar mas lejos hacia el Este. Estas explicaciones fueron dadas por los SS que asistían al desembarque, y otras explicaciones eran dadas por medio de afiches pegados en las paredes de los barracones, pero más tarde, cuando aumentaron los convoyes, los alemanes no tomaron ninguna precaución y sólo intentaron acelerar el proceso de eliminación. Todas las víctimas debían quitarse sus vestidos y sus zapatos que eran recogidos mas tarde. Todas las víctimas, mujeres y niños primero, eran conducidos a las cámaras de exterminio. Los que eran demasiado lentos o demasiado débiles para ir deprisa eran empujados a culatazos, masacrados, pateados, a menudo Sauer lo hacia él mismo. Muchos resbalaban y caían y los que venían detrás pasaban por encima. Los niños pequeños, eran arrojados dentro sin mas. Cuando las cámaras estaban completamente llenas se las cerraba herméticamente y se introducía el vapor. En pocos minutos todo había acabado. Los trabajadores judíos subalternos debían retirar los cuerpos y enterrarlos en las fosas comunes. De cuando en cuando, a medida que los convoyes llegaban, los cementerios se extendían en dirección al Este. De las actas recibidas se puede deducir que varios cientos de miles de judíos_ fueron exterminados en Treblinka&#8221;.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="5"></a>LAS CAMARAS DE VAPOR SE CONVIERTEN EN CÁMARAS DE MONÓXIDO DE CARBONO</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Estas alegaciones estaban en contradicción con las &#8220;confesiones&#8221; de Rudolf HOSS (el primer comandante de Auschwitz) que fueron leídas en Nuremberg cuatro meses mas tarde, el 15 de abril de 1946. El antiguo comandante de Auschwitz alegaba que el campo de &#8220;exterminio&#8221; existía antes de junio de 1.941 y que se asesinaba allí a los prisioneros en las cámaras que funcionaban con &#8230;. monóxido de carbono (página siguiente).</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, XI, 427</p>
<p>TESTIGO HÖSS.- 1944. Una parte se hizo en 1943, no puedo dar las cifras exactas, el fin de estas ejecuciones tuvo lugar en otoño 1944.</p>
<p>CORONEL AMEN.- Bien.</p>
<p>4. &#8220;Las ejecuciones masivas por gas comenzaron en el curso del verano de 1941 y continuaron hasta el otoño de 1944. Yo he vigilado personalmente las ejecuciones en Auschwitz hasta el 1 de diciembre de 1943 y sé por mis funciones de inspector de campos de concentración en el WHA, que estas ejecuciones masivas continuaron como he dicho más arriba. Todas las ejecuciones masivas por gas tuvieron lugar bajo las órdenes directas, la supervisión y la responsabilidad del RSHA. Yo recibía directamente del RSHA la orden de proceder a estas ejecuciones en masa.&#8221;</p>
<p>-¿Estas declaraciones son exactas, testigo?</p>
<p>TESTIGO HÖSS.- Sí.</p>
<p>5. &#8220;El 1 de diciembre de 1943, fui nombrado jefe del AMT I, del grupo D del WVHA, y era responsable en este despacho de la coordinación de las cuestiones a regular entre el RSHA y los campos de concentración que dependían de la administración del WVHA. Yo he asumido estas funciones hasta el fin de la guerra. Pohl como jefe del WVHA y Kaltenbrunner, como jefe de RSHA, se consultaban a menudo oralmente y por escrito sobre cuestiones planteadas en los campos de concentración.</p>
<p>CORONEL AMEN.- Ya nos habéis hablado del largo informe que transmitisteis a Kaltenbrunner en Berlín. Yo saltaría el resto del párrafo 5.</p>
<p>TESTIGO HÖSS.- 6. &#8220;La solución final de la cuestión judía significaba el exterminio completo de los judíos residentes en Europa. Yo recibí la orden en junio de 1941, de crear instalaciones de exterminio en Auschwitz. En ese momento había ya otros tres campos de exterminio en el Gobierno General: Belzec, Treblinka y Wolzek. Estos campos estaban dirigidos por Einsatzkommando de la Policía de Seguridad y del SD. Yo he visitado Treblinka para ver como se hacía este exterminio. El comandante del campo de Treblinka que había liquidado a 80.000 judíos en el curso de un semestre. Su misión era sobre todo liquidar judíos del ghetto de Varsovia. Se servía de gas monóxido, pero no creo que éste fuera muy eficaz; cuando yo instalé las construcciones de exterminio en Auschwitz, me serví de Ciclón B, que era un ácido prúsico cristalizado que nosotros dejábamos caer en la cámara de exterminio por una pequeña abertura. Bastaba de tres a quince minutos para matar a todas las personas en la cámara de exterminio, según las condiciones atmosféricas. Sabíamos que las víctimas estaban muertas porque dejaban de gritar. Normalmente esperábamos una media hora antes de abrir&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ante semejantes divergencias, los magistrados de Nuremberg prefirieron obviar el tema. Y aunque habían mencionado el campo de Treblinka en su juicio, se abstuvieron de precisar el producto que habría podido ser utilizado en las cámaras de muerte del campo.</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, I, 264-265</p>
<p>&#8220;Como medio de alcanzar la &#8220;solución final&#8221; los judíos fueron reunidos en los campos dónde se decidía sobre su vida o su muerte según su condición física. Todos los que todavía podían trabajar debían hacerlo; pero los que no podían, eran exterminados en las cámaras de gas, y después se quemaban sus cadáveres. Algunos campos de concentración tales como Treblinka y Auschwitz, fueron especialmente escogidos para este fin. En lo que concierne a Auschwitz, el Tribunal ha escuchado el testimonio de HÖSS, que fue su comandante desde el 1 de mayo de 1940 al 1 de diciembre de 1943. Según él mismo, sólo en este campo y durante este periodo dos millones quinientas mil personas fueron exterminadas y quinientas mil perecieron de enfermedades o de hambre. HOESS ha descrito la manera en que eran escogidos aquellos que iban a ser exterminados:</p>
<p>&#8220;Nosotros teníamos en Auschwitz dos médicos SS de servicio, cuya misión era proceder al examen físico de los prisioneros tras la llegada de los convoyes. Los prisioneros debían desfilar delante de uno de los médicos que tomaban su decisión inmediatamente, a medida que pasaban. Los que eran capaces de trabajar eran enviados al campo. Los demás eran enviados inmediatamente a las instalaciones de exterminio. En cualquier caso los niños pequeños eran asesinados, pues su corta edad les hacía inútiles para el trabajo. Al sistema en vigor en Treblinka, nosotros aportamos la mejora siguiente: en Treblinka, las víctimas sabían casi siempre que iban a ser exterminadas, pero en Auschwitz, nosotros intentábamos inducirles a error haciéndoles creer que iban a ser sometidos a despiojamiento. Por supuesto, cuando descubrían nuestras verdaderas intenciones teníamos revueltas y muchas dificultades. A menudo, las madres ocultaban a sus hijos bajo sus vestidos, pero evidentemente cuando nosotros les encontrábamos, eran enviados igualmente a los lugares de exterminio&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Desde entonces, la historia oficial ha sentenciado: las cámaras de Treblinka funcionaron con monóxido de carbono, tal como R. HOESS lo había afirmado.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;El gaseo comenzaba por una orden. En Treblinka, un alemán gritaba a un guardia ucraniano: &#8220;¡Iván, el agua!&#8221;. Era la señal de que debía poner en marcha el motor. El procedimiento no era obligatoriamente rápido. Incapaces de menearse en las pequeñas cámaras, las víctimas esperaban la muerte de pie durante treinta o cuarenta minutos. Según un superviviente de Treblinka, las víctimas esperaban en las cámaras a veces durante toda la noche, sin que el motor fuera puesto en marcha. En Belzec, donde el Oberscharführer&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;">El campo de Ravensbrück no habría tenido ni cámara eléctrica ni cámara de vapor, pero sí una cámara de gas primitiva funcionando con Ciclón B (ZYKLON-B) y era tan primitiva que habría sido&#8230; de madera. Esto al menos es lo que testimonió Marie-Claude Vaillant-Couturier que, llamada a declarar en Nuremberg, el 28 de enero de 1946 declaró:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VI,.233</p>
<p>&#8220;Ravensbrück, con otras 72 tuberculosas, 6 de ellas francesas, fue subida al camión para la cámara de gas. Durante este periodo, en todos los, se envió a gasear a todos los enfermos que se consideraban inútiles para el trabajo. La cámara de gas de Ravensbrück estaba justo detrás del muro del campo, junto al horno crematorio. Cuando los camiones venían a buscar a los enfermos, escuchábamos el ruido del motor en todo el campo y se paraba al lado mismo del horno crematorio cuya chimenea sobresalía de los altos muros del campo. Tras la liberación, he vuelto a esos lugares y he visitado la cámara de gas que era una barraca de planchas herméticamente cerrada y, en el interior, tenía aún el desagradable olor del gas. Yo sé que en Auschwitz los gases eran los mismos que usaban contra los piojos, los cuales dejaban rastros de pequeños cristales verde pálido, que tras abrir las ventanas del bloque, se barrían. Sé estos detalles porque los hombres empleados en la desinfección de los bloques contra los piojos estaban en contacto con los que gaseaban seres humanos y les habían dicho que eran empleados los mismos gases.</p>
<p>SR. DUBOST.- ¿Ese era el único medio utilizado para exterminar a los internados en Ravensbrück?</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Para matar a sus víctimas, los alemanes habrían desplegado todos los recursos de su imaginación. El 13 de febrero de 1946, el fiscal general adjunto soviético Coronel Pokrovsky se refiere a una terrible máquina de romper nucas que los nazis habrían puesto a punto y utilizado en el campo de Sachsenhausen para matar millares de prisioneros de guerra rusos.</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 381-382</p>
<p>&#8220;Los espectáculos que he tenido que ver exceden toda imaginación. La alegría que experimentaba a la vista de las personas estaba oscurecida por la expresión lívida y el estupor de sus semblantes. Ello me obligaba a preguntarme la causa: era evidente que los sufrimientos padecidos empujaban a los prisioneros a la indiferencia hacia la vida o la muerte&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Durante tres días he observado a esas gentes, les he curado, les he evacuado, pero este estado de estupor psíquico no cambiaba. Algo semejante se leía también los primeros días en los rostros de los médicos&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Los internados morían en el campo, de enfermedades, de frío, de los golpes recibidos. Morían en el hospital-prisión, de la infección de las heridas, de septicemia, de hambre&#8221;.</p>
<p>El 2 de mayo de 1945 el SS Paul Ludwig Gottlieb Waldmann, fue hecho prisionero en Berlín. Había nacido en 17 de octubre de 1914 en Berlín, hijo del comerciante Ludwig Waldmann. Su madre vivía, según las últimas noticias que había recibido antes de ser hecho prisionero, en la ciudad de Braunschweig, a 60 km. De Donnerburgweg. Ha proporcionado un testimonio manuscrito en el que habla de exterminios en masa de ciudadanos soviéticos, los cuales pudo observar gracias a su condición de chófer destinado en diversos campos, habiendo participado él mismo en esos asesinatos colectivos. Sus testimonios figuran en la página 9 de nuestro documento URSS-52, titulado &#8220;campo de Auschwitz&#8221;. Da informaciones muy detalladas sobre las muertes en el campo de Sachsenhausen. A finales del verano de 1941 el Sonderkommando de la policía de seguridad, que estaba en ese campo, ha exterminado diariamente, durante un mes, a los prisioneros rusos llegados al campo. Paul Ludwig Gottlieb Waldmann depone como sigue:</p>
<p>&#8220;De la estación al campo los prisioneros de guerra rusos recorrían casi un kilómetro. En el campo permanecían una noche sin alimentos. La noche siguiente eran conducidos para ser ejecutados. Los internados eran siempre transferidos del campo interior en tres camiones, de los cuales yo conducía uno. El campo interior estaba aproximadamente a un kilómetro y tres cuartos del patio de las ejecuciones. La ejecución propiamente dicha tenía lugar en una barraca que, algún tiempo antes, había sido acondicionada al efecto&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Un local era para desnudarse y otro para la espera. Un aparato de radio funcionaba en el local, bastante fuerte, para que los internados no pudieran adivinar antes de tiempo que les esperaba la muerte. Al dejar el segundo local, pasaban de uno en uno a otro pequeño local aparte, sobre cuyo suelo había una rejilla de hierro, bajo la cual había un canalillo. En cuanto al prisionero de guerra era asesinado, el cadáver era levantado por dos internados alemanes, mientras que se limpiaban los restos de sangre de la rejilla. Este pequeño local tenía una hendidura de unos 50 centímetros a la que era adosado el prisionero y tras la cual, se colocaba un tirador. Desde un punto de vista práctico, tal distribución no era satisfactoria, ya que a menudo el tirador fallaba. Al cabo de ocho días, se dispuso otro dispositivo. El prisionero, como antes, era adosado al muro; después, lentamente, se hacía descender sobre su cabeza una placa de hierro. El prisionero tenía la impresión de estar bajo la toesa. La placa de hierro sujetaba un martillo que golpeaba al prisionero en la nuca. Este caía inmediatamente muerto. La placa de hierro funcionaba mediante un pedal dispuesto en un rincón de la habitación. El personal pertenecía al Sonderkommando ya mencionado por mí.</p>
<p>&#8220;A petición de los miembros de este equipo de ejecución, he tenido que servir junto a este aparato&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por supuesto, esta máquina infernal no ha sido aportada al tribunal por los rusos y, aún hoy, nadie ha sido capaz de mostrarla&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Mucho más terrorífico todavía. En Nuremberg se pretendió que, no lejos de Auschwitz, los alemanes habían asesinado judíos bombardeándolos con ayuda de una especie de bomba atómica:</p>
<blockquote><p>FISCAL JACKSON.- La política consistente en cazar a las personas que estaban en desacuerdo con el partido, no ha funcionado realmente ¿verdad?</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER.- Precisamente aquí, ello ha supuesto para nosotros una considerable desventaja.</p>
<p>FISCAL JACKSON.- Tengo ciertos informes acerca de una experiencia desarrollada cerca de Auschwitz y quisiera preguntarle si ha oído usted hablar o estaba al corriente de estas experiencias. La meta de esta experiencia era encontrar un medio rápido y eficaz de destruir grupos de personas evitando la tardanza y las molestias de los fusilamientos, el gas o la cremación, procedimientos utilizados hasta entonces. Conforme mis informes, la experiencia se desarrolló así: se construye una aldea provisionalmente y a ella se llevan unos 20.000 judíos. Con el nuevo producto destructor esos 20.000 judíos han sido, digamos, matados instantáneamente y de forma que no queda nada de ellos. La explosión ha producido una temperatura de entre 400 y 500 grados centígrados y ha destruido a las personas sin dejar rastros.</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER.- No, considero que eso es absolutamente inverosímil; si se hubieran hecho tales preparativos yo hubiese estado al corriente. Nosotros no poseíamos medios de combate semejantes y es sabido que, en el campo de la guerra química, se han intentado en ambos lados hallar todos los medios de combate posibles de considerar, pero no se sabía quiénes se lanzarían a la guerra química.</p>
<p>FISCAL JACKSON.- Los comunicados sobre nuevas armas secretas eran muy exagerados y estaban sólo destinados a mantener al pueblo alemán en la guerra.</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER.- Eso h sido así sobre todo en la última fase de la guerra. A partir de junio-julio de 1944 he ido frecuentemente al frente y he visitado casi cuarenta divisiones en sus sectores. He podido constatar que se decía a las tropas y al pueblo alemán que había que basar la esperanza en un arma nueva o unas armas nuevas, armas milagrosas que, sin el concurso de los soldados, nos darían la victoria. Y esa creencia reposaba en el hecho de que en Alemania mucha gente se sacrificaban en cuanto eran convencidos por cualquier tipo de razones de que la guerra iba a terminarse. Pero ellos reían que, en un espacio de tiempo relativamente corto, esta nueva arma haría su aparición. Yo he escrito sobre esto Hitler y, en diferentes conversaciones, incluso con los jefes de propaganda de Goebbels, he intentado reaccionar contra esa creencia. Hitler y Goebbels me declararon que no era sólo propaganda auspiciada por ellos, sino una creencia&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<p>(Acta de acusación)</p>
<p>A partir del 1-IW-1939, cuando las Fuerzas Armadas alemanas invadieron Polonia, y del 22-VI-1941, cuando invadieron la URSS, el gobierno y el alto mando alemanes adoptaron una política sistemática de matanzas y malos tratos de las poblaciones civiles de los países del Este a medida que estos países se ocupaban por las fuerzas alemanas. Estas matanzas y malos tratos continuaron hasta que los alemanes fueron expulsados de estos países.</p>
<p>Las matanzas y malos tratos comprendieron:</p>
<p>a) Muertes y malos tratos en los campos de concentración u otros establecimientos similares creados por los alemanes en los países del Este y Alemania oriental, donde se incluyen Maidanek y Auschwitz.</p>
<p>Dichas matanzas y malos tratos fueron realizados por medios diversos e incluyen todos los expuestos más arriba.</p>
<p>Cerca de 1 500 000 personas fueron exterminadas en Maidanek y unos 4 000 000 en Auschwitz; entre ellos había ciudadanos de Polonia, la URSS, los Estados Unidos, Gran Bretaña, Checoslovaquia, Francia y otros países.</p>
<p>En la región de Lwow y en la ciudad de Lwow los alemanes exterminaron unos 700 000 ciudadanos soviéticos, entre ellos 70 personalidades del mundo del arte, la ciencia , la tecnología, así como ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos, de Gran Bretaña, de Checoslovaquia, de Yugoslavia y de Holanda traídos de otros campos de concentración de esta región</p>
<p>En el &#8220;ghetto&#8221; judío, del 7 de septiembre de 1941 al 6 de julio de 1943, más de 133 000 personas fueron torturadas y fusiladas.</p>
<p>Los fusilamientos en masa de la población tuvieron lugar en los arrabales de la ciudad y en el bosque de Livenitz</p>
<p>En el campo de Ganov, 200 000 pacíficos ciudadanos fueron exterminados. En este exterminio fueron empleados los métodos más refinados de crueldad, tales como el destripamiento y la congelación de seres humanos en barriles de agua. Las ejecuciones en masa tuvieron lugar acompañadas de la música de una orquesta reclutada entre los internados.</p>
<p>A partir de junio de 1943 los alemanes tomaron medidas para tapar las pruebas de sus crímenes. Exhumaron y quemaron los cadáveres, trituraron los huesos con máquinas y los utilizaron como abono.</p>
<p>Al principio de 1944, en la región de Ozarichi y en la República Socialista Bielorrusa, antes de su liberación por el Ejército Rojo, los alemanes instalaron tres campos de concentración al aire libre, donde internaron decenas de millares de personas de territorios vecinos. Llevaron intencionadamente a estos campos muchos enfermos de hospitales para tíficos, para contagiar a los otros internados y difundir la enfermedad en los territorios de que eran expulsados por el Ejército Rojo. Hubo en estos campos muchos muertos y crímenes.</p>
<p>En la República Socialista Soviética de Estónia fusilaron a decenas de miles de personas y, en un solo día, el 19-IX-1944, en el campo de Kloga, los alemanes fusilaron a 2 000 apacibles ciudadanos. Quemaron los cuerpos en hogueras.</p>
<p>En la República Socialista Soviética de Lituanoa hubo ejecuciones en masa de ciudadanos soviéticos, concretamente en Panerai al menos 100 000 ; en Kaunas, más de 70 000; en Alitus, alrededor de 60 000; en Prenai, más de 3 000; en Villiampol, alrededor de 8 000; en Mariampol, alrededor de 7 000; en Trakai y las ciudades vecinas 37 640</p>
<p>En la República Socialista Soviética de Letónia fueron asesinadas 577 000 personas.</p>
<p>El régimen interno impuesto en todos los campos condenaba a los internados a morir.</p>
<p>En las instrucciones secretas denominadas &#8220;Régimen interior de los campos de concentración&#8221;, firmadas personalmente por Himmler en 1941, fueron previstas severas medidas de castigo. Masas de prisioneros de guerra fueron fusilados o murieron de frío y de torturas.</p>
<p>b) Las matanzas y malos tratos en los países del Este y de la Unión Soviética, en lugares distintos de los campos mencionados en el apartado anterior, incluyen, durante la ocupación de las Fuerzas Armadas alemanas, datos variados:</p>
<p>La destrucción en la región de Esmolensko de más de 135 000 ciudadanos soviéticos.</p>
<p>Cerca de la ciudad de Kholmetz, en la región de Sychev, cuando las autoridades militares alemanas recibieron la orden del mayor-general Fisler, comandante de la 101 división de infantería alemana, de desminar el sector, los soldados alemanes reunieron a los habitantes de Kholmetz y les obligaron a quitar las minas del camino. Todos murieron por la explosión de las minas.</p>
<p>En la región de Leningrado más de 172 000 personas fueron fusiladas y torturadas, incluidos más de 20 000 muertos en la ciudad de Leningrado por las barreras de artillería y los bombardeos salvajes.</p></blockquote>

Debo llamar la atención del Tribunal hacia el hecho de que el número de víctimas asesinadas en Babi-Yar aquí recogido está por debajo del real. Tras la liberación de Kiev, fue establecido que la escala sobre la que se perpetraron las atrocidades de los invasores germano &#8211; fascistas era muchísimo mayor de lo que hacían creer las primeras aproximaciones.

<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 409</p>
<p>&#8220;El peritaje forense ha establecido, tras el examen de las vías respiratorias de cuatro cadáveres de prisioneros de guerra cuyos pulmones estaban llenos de granos de arena, que estos no habían podido penetrar tan profundamente más que como resultado de esfuerzos respiratorios realizados por las víctimas enterradas vivas en la arena. Este peritaje establece que en el &#8220;Gross &#8211; Lazarett&#8221; los guardianes del campo enterraban, con el consentimiento de los médicos alemanes, a los ciudadanos soviéticos aún vivos. &#8220;</p>
<p>&#8220;Un prisionero de guerra llamado Pankine, antiguo ingresado en el &#8220;Gross &#8211; Lazarett&#8221;, ha tenido conocimiento de los hechos siguientes: en febrero de 1943 se llevó al depósito de cadáveres un enfermo sin conocimiento; se recuperó; pero cuando se informó al jefe del barracón de que se había llevado a un hombre vivo al depósito, dio la orden de dejarlo allí. El enfermo fue enterrado vivo.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ciertos prisioneros, incitados por este régimen intolerable, intentaron evadirse, individualmente o en grupo, ignorando los inmensos riesgos que suponía tal tentativa. Los mártires que conseguían evadirse del infierno del &#8220;hospital&#8221; buscaban un refugio entre la población de Slavouta y sus alrededores. Los brutos hitlerianos fusilaban sin piedad a todos aquellos que proporcionaban cualquier ayuda a los prisioneros. La ciudad de Slavouta está en la región de Chepetowka. El 15 de enero de 1942 el comisario regional de Chepetowka, Dr Worbs, dio instrucciones especiales conforme a las que si no se encontraba a los verdaderos culpables se fusilarían diez rehenes por cada evadido.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;El Padre Zhukowsky ha revelado el arresto y ejecución de 26 pacíficos ciudadanos que ayudaron a prisioneros de guerra. Un examen médico ha establecido que, de las 525 personas liberadas del hospital, 435 estaban en un estado de extrema debilidad, 59 sufrían complicaciones en sus heridas y otros 31 estaban aquejados de desórdenes mentales.&#8221;</p>
<p>La comisión declaró (y con permiso del Tribunal, cito el último y penúltimo párrafos de la columna de la izquierda, pg. 5, que corresponde a la página 154 de vuestro libro de documentos):</p>
<p>&#8220;Durante los dos años de ocupación de Slavouta los hitlerianos, con el asentimiento de los médicos alemanes Borbe, Srupe y otros, han exterminado en el &#8220;Gross &#8211; Lazarett&#8221; hasta 150 000 oficiales y soldados del Ejército rojo&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>&#8220;Los alemanes han lanzado sobre Leningrado 107 000 bombas explosivas e incendiarias, 150 000 obuses de gran calibre. Todos los habitantes de Leningrado, a cada instante, durante los 900 días de sitio, estaban , podríamos decir, en el campo de batalla; a cada minuto se arriesgaban a la muerte o la mutilación. Los bombardeos aereos y los bombardeos de artillería han provocado 16 747 muertos y 33 782 heridos.&#8221;</p>

<blockquote><p>TMI, VI, 225</p>
<p>&#8220;Un equipo pasaba para arrancar los dientes y el oro y las dentaduras postizas. Y además cuando los cuerpos eran reducidos a cenizas, se pasaba todavía un tamiz para intentar recuperar el oro&#8221;.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Otra materia prima supuestamente muy importante para los nazis: la grasa humana. Es especialmente gracias a ella que la población alemana permanecería aseada hasta el final de la guerra.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El 8 de febrero de 1946, el fiscal general soviético, el general Rudenko, leyó el extracto de una &#8220;llamada a la opinión mundial por los representantes de varios millares de antiguos internados en Auschwitz&#8221;. Se trataba de la cuestión de grasa humana recuperada para economizar el petróleo y preparar jabón humano:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 183</p>
<p>&#8220;Las grasas necesarias para la incineración eran, en parte, recuperadas de los cadáveres de los gaseados a fin de economizar petróleo. Los cadáveres proporcionaban también los aceites y grasas destinados a usos técnicos e incluso a la fabricación de jabón&#8221;.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="18"></a>Una nueva alquimia: transformar humanos en jabón</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Once días más tarde, el coronel Smirnov presenta ante el tribunal varios documentos que daban todos los detalles concernientes a la pretendida preparación de jabón a partir de la grasa humana así como un molde en el cual éste había sido fabricado así como &#8220;algunos fragmentos del jabón en cuestión, bien terminados, bien medio terminados.</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 597-601</p>
<p>En el Instituto Anatómico de Dantzig, habían ya tenido lugar experiencias acerca de la fabricación de jabón a partir de cadáveres humanos y sobre las posibilidades de curtimiento de la piel humana, con perspectivas industriales. Presento al tribunal, bajo URSS-197, la declaración de un hombre que tomo parte él mismo en la fabricación de jabón a partir de grasa humana. Se llama Sigmund Masur.</p>
<p>Pregunta: ¿Puede contarnos cómo se procedía a la fabricación de jabón a partir de la grasa humana en el instituto anatómico de la ciudad de Dantzig?</p>
<p>Respuesta: En el verano de 1943 fue construido, al lado del instituto anatómico, al fondo de un patio, un edificio de piedras de un piso, comprendiendo tres piezas. Este edificio había sido construido para la utilización de cadáveres y para el tratamiento de los huesos. Esto es lo que había sido declarado oficialmente por el profesor Spanner. Este laboratorio llevaba el nombre de &#8220;Laboratorio para la preparación de esqueletos humanos y la cremación de la carne y los huesos inútiles&#8221;. En el invierno de 1943-1944, el profesor Spanner ordenó recoger la grasa humana y conservarla. Esta orden fue dada a Reichert y a Borkmann. En febrero de 1944, el profesor Spanner me entregó una formula para preparar el jabón a partir de la grasa humana. Esta formula prescribía tomar cinco kilos de grasa humana, diez litros de agua y de 500 a 1000 gramos de sosa cáustica, hacerlo hervir de dos a tres horas y dejarlo enfriar. El jabón flotaría entonces mientras que los residuos y el agua se quedarían en el fondo de los recipientes. Se añade a esta mezcla un puñado de sal y de sosa. A continuación se añade agua fría y se hace hervir de nuevo la mezcla durante dos o tres horas. Después de enfriarse, el jabón era colado en los moldes.</p>
<p>EL PRESIDENTE: Tenemos que suspender la audiencia</p>
<p>CORONEL SMIRNOV: Me permito ahora mostrar al Tribunal uno de los moldes en los cuales era colado el jabón hervido y, a continuación aportaré la prueba de que jabón humano no acabado ha sido decomisado en Dantzig.</p>
<p>Continuo mi citación:</p>
<p>&#8220;El jabón tenía un olor desagradable y, para quitar este olor, se ayudan de benzaldeido.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Borkmann y Reichert recogían la grasa de los cadáveres. Yo preparaba jabón con esta grasa. Una operación de cocción duraba varias horas (de tres a siete). Personalmente, yo no tomé parte directa más que en una sola operación de cocción de las dos de las que yo he tenido conocimiento. Estas dos operaciones tuvieron por resultado 25 kilos de jabón, cuya fabricación demandó de 70 a 80 kilos de grasa humana, obtenida de aproximadamente 40 cadáveres&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yo emplee este jabón hecho de grasa humana para mi uso personal y mi colada; yo había obtenido cuatro kilos&#8221;.</p>
<p>Salto la línea siguiente y continuo:</p>
<p>&#8220;Reichert, Borkmann, von Bargen y nuestro jefe, el profesor Spanner, se sirvieron igualmente de este jabón para su uso personal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yo presento ahora, bajo el n.º URSS-196, una copia de la fórmula del jabón.</p>
<p>&#8220;Los cadáveres habitualmente eran muy rápidamente descargados y llevados al sótano, al que se podía acceder por una puerta lateral situada en el corredor de la entrada principal&#8221;.</p>
<p>Salto la frase siguiente:</p>
<p>&#8220;A continuación, se les metía en grandes recipientes de hierro donde se les dejaba aproximadamente cuatro meses&#8221;.</p>
<p>Salto las tres frases siguientes y cito una nueva: &#8220;Gracias al producto especial en el cual los cadáveres eran conservados era muy fácil desprender de los huesos el tejido celular. Se metía a continuación este tejido celular en una cuba que tenía las dimensiones de una pequeña mesa de cocina. Después de que la ebullición era alcanzada, se vertía el liquido obtenido en unos recipientes blancos.</p>
<p>Las partes grasas, provenientes en particular de cadáveres de mujeres, eran puestas en un gran recipiente esmaltado, calentado por dos mecheros Bunsen. Allí también se servían de un ácido; creo que era ácido clorhídrico. Cuando el proceso de ebullición había acabado, se dejaba enfriar la mezcla y, a continuación, se hacían los cortes a la vista de exámenes microscópicos.&#8221;</p>
<p>Continuo citando la línea siguiente:</p>
<p>&#8220;No puedo dar una idea exacta de las cantidades obtenidas pero he visto emplear el producto en Dantzig para limpiar las mesas en las salas de disección. El personal que trabajaba allí consideraba que era el producto más apropiado para esta tarea.&#8221;</p>
<p>Presento ahora algunos fragmentos del jabón en cuestión bien terminados, bien medio terminados: he aquí un pequeño trozo de jabón que ha quedado almacenado varios meses, es el llamado jabón de limpieza del más ordinario.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;">En su juicio, los magistrados de Nuremberg retomaron esta acusación grotesca y pretendieron que, &#8220;en ciertos casos, se [habían hecho] ensayos con vistas a servirse de la grasa de las víctimas para la producción industrial de jabón&#8221; (TMI, I, 265-266)</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="20"></a>&#8230; y son contradecidos más tarde por las autoridades oficiales</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En 1983, por tanto, el difunto Georges Wellers, antiguo director científico del Centro de documentación judía contemporánea de París y antiguo director de Mundo Judío (publicación de este centro), escribió a un corresponsal extranjero</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;La fabricación de jabón a partir de grasa humana pertenece a la categoría de &#8220;bobadas&#8221; que circulaban ya en los campos [...] se trata del producto de una imaginación más o menos demencial que es explotada por los neonazis y que no ayuda en nada a la realidad ya suficientemente demencial y cruel.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Los jueces de Nuremberg estaban, también en esto, equivocados.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Peor que en &#8220;Soylent Green&#8221;: toneladas de polvo de huesos humanos para la agricultura</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Todo el mundo se acordará de la película americana de anticipación Soylent Green (estrenada en español con el titulo de &#8220;Cuando el destino nos alcance&#8221; [n. del t.]) en la cual, en una Tierra superpoblada, los cuerpos de viejos eutanasiados son transformados en tabletas de alimento destinadas a los humanos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Según los jueces de Nuremberg, los nazis habrían hecho peor: habrían recuperado los huesos de sus víctimas (entre las cuales habían numerosas personas jóvenes que no querían más que vivir) para hacer abono, y así permitir a los alemanes comer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Recordamos, por ejemplo, que según el acta de la acusación, a partir de 1943, los alemanes habrían exhumando sus víctimas, triturado sus huesos y utilizado el polvo obtenido como abono.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esta acusación fue incluso retomada por los soviéticos desde la audiencia del 19 de febrero de 1946. Tomando la palabra el coronel Smirnov declara:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 587</p>
<p>Quiero ahora pasar al informe sobre Auschwitz, que el Tribunal encontrará en la página 353 del libro de documentos. Les pido que se fijen al mismo tiempo en el álbum de Auschwitz, en las páginas 34, 35 y 36, donde se ve las fotos de 7.000 kilos de cabellos de mujeres destinados a ser enviados a Alemania. Leo:</p>
<p>&#8220;A partir de 1943, los alemanes comenzaron el tratamiento industrial de huesos completamente incinerados. Comenzaron a triturar los huesos y a venderlos a la firma Strehm para la producción de superfosfatos. Se han encontrado hojas de ruta llevando en el membrete la firma Strehm de 112 toneladas 600 kilogramos de polvo de huesos humanos. Se ha igualmente utilizado para fines industriales cabellos cortados a mujeres designadas para el exterminio.&#8221;</p>
<p>Entretanto, el principal método al cual habían recurrido los criminales fascistas para camuflar sus crímenes era la incineración de los cuerpos. Las cenizas de los cuerpos incinerados eran esparcidas en los campos, los huesos que no eran completamente quemados eran triturados con la ayuda de maquinas especiales y mezclados con estiércol para hacer abono. En los campos importantes, estos huesos triturados eran vendidos a fabricas alemanas para servir a la producción de superfosfatos.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Los magistrados de Nuremberg creyeron estas alegaciones estúpidas y, en su juicio, escribieron que, bajo Hitler: &#8220;Las cenizas provenientes de la incineración [ de las víctimas de los campos] eran utilizadas como abono&#8221; (Industrial, 265).</p>

<p>Además de la grasa y los huesos, la piel humana habría sido muy codiciada por los nazis. Lo que les habría servido para hacer pantallas, guantes, bolsos de mano, etc.</p>
<p>El 29 de enero de 1946, el procurador general francés adjunto, Charles Dubost, interrogó al testigo de la acusación Alfred Balachowsky, ruso naturalizado francés en 1932. He aquí lo que se pudo escuchar en el recinto del tribunal:</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: Pienso que la declaración de este segundo testigo esclarecerá definitivamente al tribunal, cuales fueron las tentativas hechas por la Defensa para inducirnos a error.</p>
<p>(Al testigo). ¿Ha tenido Vd. conocimiento del destino de los hombres tatuados?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Perfectamente.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: ¿Puede Vd. decirnos lo que sabe?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Las pieles humanas tatuadas eran almacenadas en el bloque 2, que se llamaba en Buchenwald, la patología.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: había muchas pieles humanas tatuadas en el bloque 2?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Había siempre pieles humanas tatuadas en el bloque 2, no puedo decir si había muchas porque iban y venían; por otra parte, no había sólo pieles humanas tatuadas; había pieles humanas curtidas simplemente que no estaban tatuadas.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: ¿Se había pues despellejado a humanos?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Se había tomado la piel y se la había curtido.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: Continúe su testimonio en este punto.</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: He visto a SS salir del bloque 2, patología, con pieles curtidas bajo el brazo. Sé por mis camaradas que trabajaban en el bloque 2 de la patología, que había pedidos de pieles y las pieles curtidas eran entregadas como regalo a ciertos guardias y a ciertos visitantes que las utilizaban para encuadernar libros.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: Se nos ha dicho que Koch, que era el jefe en esta época allí, había sido castigado por este uso.</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: No tengo pruebas del asunto Koch, que pasó anteriormente a mi estancia en el campo.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: Por consiguiente, ¿incluso después de su marcha había pieles tatuadas o curtidas?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Había pieles curtidas y tatuadas permanentemente, puesto que cuando los americanos liberaron el campo, encontraron aun en el campo del bloque 2 pieles tatuadas y curtidas, el 11 de abril de 1945.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: ¿Dónde eran curtidas estas pieles?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: estas pieles eran curtidas en el bloque 2 y puede ser también que en los edificios del crematorio que no está muy lejos del bloque 2.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: ¿Es pues, según su testimonio, un uso constante que era perseguido incluso después de la ejecución de Koch?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Perfectamente. Este uso se ha perpetuado, yo no sé en que proporciones.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: ¿Ha sido Vd. testigo de visitas hechas al campo por personalidades alemanas, y cuales eran estas personalidades?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Yo le puedo repetir alguna cosa a propósito de Dora, en lo que concierne a las visitas.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: Le pido perdón, me queda una cosa que preguntarle en el asunto de las pieles. ¿Estaba Vd. al corriente de la condena de Koch?</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Estaba al corriente de la condena de Koch por los rumores y testimonios que pude escuchar por la parte de mis viejos camaradas que se encontraban en el campo, pero, personalmente, no tengo ninguna prueba de este asunto.</p>
<p>M. DUBOST: Poco importa; me basta saber que incluso después de su condena había siempre pieles tatuadas y curtidas.</p>
<p>DR. BALACHOWSKY: Perfectamente.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Algunas semanas antes, el 13 de diciembre de 1945, el abogado general americano Thomas J. Dodd había leído el testimonio siguiente, proveniente de un antiguo prisionero en Buchenwald:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, III, 521</p>
<p>Los internos tatuados eran particularmente destinados a esta clase de mutilación. He presentado estos objetos como prueba bajo la marca USA-252  son acompañados de un extracto del informe oficial del Ejercito americano que describe las circunstancias en las cuales este documento ha sido obtenido; este extracto figura en el documento PS-3240 al cual me refiero en parte; lleva por titulo:</p>

<p>- Boletín de información sobre los prisioneros de guerra (PWIB)</p>
<p>- 13.- Campo de concentración de Buchenwald.</p>
<p>- Preámbulo.- El autor de esta declaración es el prisionero de guerra Andreas Pfaffenberger, 1 Coy, 9 Landesschutzen Bn, edad 43 años y poco instruido, carnicero de su ciudad.</p>
<p>&#8220;En 1939 se ordena a todos los prisioneros que tengan tatuajes se presenten en la enfermería. Nadie sabía porqué, pero después de haber sido examinados, los que tenían los más bellos tatuajes fueron llevados a la enfermería y Karl Beigs, un detenido condenado por derecho común, les administró inyecciones letales. Los cuerpos fueron a continuación enviados a la sección de patología, donde se les quita las partes tatuadas para tratarlas del modo deseado. El resultado obtenido fue enviado a la esposa del SS Standartenführer Koch que hizo de ellas pantallas y otros ornamentos de interior. Yo mismo he visto pieles tatuadas con dibujos y leyendas como &#8220;Hansel y Gretel&#8221;, que un prisionero tenía sobre su rodilla, y barcos, que los prisioneros tenían en el pecho. Wernerbach era el nombre del prisionero que hacía este trabajo.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="23"></a>Sillas y pantalones de montar, guantes, pantuflas y bolsos de mano en piel humana</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por otra parte, Franz Blaha, antiguo internado checo en el campo de Dachau, había declarado:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, V, 173-174</p>
<p>9. Era de uso corriente retirar la piel de los muertos. Se me dieron varias maneras en orden a hacerlo. Los doctores Rascher y Wolter, en particular, reclamaban la piel proveniente de la espalda y del pecho humanos. Esta piel era tratada químicamente y secada al sol, haciéndose sillas, pantalones de montar, guantes, pantuflas y bolsos de mano para las señoras. Las pieles tatuadas eran particularmente apreciadas por las SS. Rusos, polacos y otros internados eran utilizados de esta manera. Pero estaba prohibido tomar la piel de un alemán. Esta piel debía provenir de internados perfectamente sanos y sin ningún defecto.</p>
<p>&#8220;Algunas veces carecíamos de cadáveres con la piel intacta y Rascher decía entonces: &#8220;Muy bien, tendréis los cadáveres!&#8221; Al día siguiente recibíamos de veinte a treinta cadáveres de individuos jóvenes. Se les había dado muerte con una bala en el cuello o golpeándoles en la cabeza a fin de no dañar su piel. Teníamos también, frecuentemente, demandas de cráneos o esqueletos de internados. En este caso hacíamos hervir las cabezas o los cadáveres enteros. Después las carnes blandas eran separadas, los huesos blanqueados y secados y el esqueleto era reconstruido. Para los cráneos, era exigida una dentadura en buen estado. Cuando recibíamos un pedido de cráneos de Oraniemburgo, los hombres de las SS decían entonces&#8221; &#8220;Vamos a tratar de suministrárselos con buenos dientes&#8221;. Así que era peligroso tener la piel o la dentadura en buen estado.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="24"></a>Comercio de guantes y de libros de bolsillo en piel humana</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Según del testimonio de un cierto Anton Pacholegg, fechado el 13 de mayo de 1945 y clasificado en Nuremberg bajo la signatura PS-2428, algunos alemanes se habían dedicado al comercio de guantes y libros de bolsillo en piel humana:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, XXX, 355</p>
<p>Traducción del pasaje señalado (es el &#8220;testigo&#8221; el que habla):</p>
<p>&#8220;Yo robé en la caja fuerte [la del Dr. Rascher] y me llevé todos los recibos firmados después de la venta por Rascher de guantes y libros de bolsillo, es decir, guantes y libros de bolsillo hechos de piel humana&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En su juicio, los magistrados no se atrevieron a hacer suyas estas alegaciones demenciales concernientes al supuestamente empleo de piel humana para confeccionar diversos objetos ( y hoy ningún historiador serio se atreve a hablar de ello&#8230;). Sin embargo, ni A. Balachowsky ni F. Blaha fueron perseguidos por falso testimonio.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Los prisioneros de guerra soviéticos habrían sido las principales víctimas de este &#8220;sadismo alemán&#8221;. Tomando la palabra en Nuremberg el 14 de febrero de 1946, el coronel Pokrovsky declara:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 438</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Siempre, según este mismo coronel, el sadismo alemán habría alcanzado el paroxismo en los campos de prisioneros de guerra. En Osen por ejemplo:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 438</p>
<p>Es así, por ejemplo, que en agosto de 1942, las autoridades del campo dieron orden a todos los prisioneros de arrancar el sistema piloso de sus axilas y de sus órganos genitales. En caso de negativa, serían fusilados. Los alemanes no entregaron ninguna navaja a los prisioneros, sabiendo perfectamente que no tenían. Durante toda la noche, los prisioneros fueron obligados a arrancarse los pelos los unos a los otros. Sin embargo, los centinelas fusilaron por la mañana a cuatro prisioneros e hirieron a tres.</p></blockquote>

Procedía del mismo modo respecto de los que, en el curso de las revistas que pasaba el mismo, llevaban la ropa interior sucia&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Aunque, según la acusación, los nazis habían puesto a punto procesos de exterminio científicamente estudiados, algunos alemanes (retrógrados sin duda) habrían preferido métodos más primitivos.</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 583</p>
<p>CORONEL SMIRNOV: &#8220;Radomsky y Rieder imaginaron toda clase de medios para el exterminio de ciudadanos soviéticos. Inventaron, por ejemplo, el siguiente medio: ciudadanos soviéticos fueron obligados a trepar a un árbol y otros fueron obligados a talarlo. Las personas caían con el árbol y se mataban.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="32"></a>&#8230; o intentar (vanamente) ahogar en pantanos</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Estos métodos primitivos tenían siempre un inconveniente: los riesgos de fracaso no eran despreciables. Así fue en la región del Pripet:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, VII, 501</p>
<p>El comandante del 2.º Regimiento de la misma brigada, von Mahille, dice en su &#8220;Informe sobre la operación de pacificación de la región del Pripet, ejecutada del 27 de julio al 11 de agosto de 1941&#8243;:</p>
<p>&#8220;Llevar mujeres y niños al pantano no ha sido eficaz, puesto que no era lo bastante profundo como para que se hundiesen en él. En la mayor parte de las zonas se encuentra suelo firme (probablemente arena) a un metro de la superficie&#8221;.</p></blockquote>

Después se ofreció a los niños hambrientos y temblorosos café caliente y galletas envenenadas. Un ayudante alemán llevó al dispensario a los niños para los cuales no había suficiente café y les embadurnó los libros con un veneno rápido. En unos minutos todos los niños estaban muertos.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="34"></a>Inofensivos armarios se convierten en espantosas cámaras de tortura</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En Nuremberg, los jueces parecían contemplar a la Alemania nazi provista de gafas especiales con las cuales todo objeto, incluso el más insignificante, se convertía en un espantoso instrumento de tortura. He aquí, por ejemplo, como inofensivos armarios se convertían en espantosas cámaras de tortura:</p>
<blockquote><p>TMI, XVI, 563-564</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: Yo le planteo ahora algunas cuestiones acerca del documento D-398, que he presentado bajo el número USA-894. Es una declaración de Hofer que habita en Essen:</p>
<p>&#8220;Yo trabajé en el taller de blindajes n.º 4 desde abril de 1943 con Löwenkamp. Löwenkamp era muy brutal con los obreros extranjeros. Había construido una especie de caja de acero que era tan pequeña que apenas se podía mantener de pie. Allí encerraba extranjeros, también mujeres, durante cuarenta y ocho horas, sin darles alimentos. No salían incluso ni para hacer sus necesidades. Estaba prohibido a los demás ayudarles de cualquier manera o de liberarles&#8221;.</p>
<p>¿Vd. cree que se exagera igualmente?</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER: Pienso que esta declaración es mentira; porque cosas parecidas no pasaban en Alemania. Si hechos individuales de este genero se producían, se castigaban. No es posible arrastrar, delante de aquí de esta manera, al pueblo alemán en el barro. Los jefes de obra alemanes eran comprensivos y se ocupaban de sus obreros. Si un jefe de obra era sorprendido haciendo esto era inmediatamente procesado.</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: bien. ¿Qué dice Vd. de estas cajas de acero? ¿No se lo cree tampoco? ¿No cree nada de esta historia?</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER: No creo nada. Por lo menos creo que no es verdad. Después del hundimiento en 1945, se han ciertamente redactado muchas declaraciones que no corresponden con la verdad</p>
<p>TMI, XVI, 567-568</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: Querría simplemente que Vd. muestre el documento D-382 que presento bajo el número USA-897- estas son declaraciones de varias personas con respecto a una de estas cajas de acero que existían en el campo de trabajadores extranjeros, en el taller de blindajes n.º 4 y también en el campo ruso. No sé si es necesario leer toda la descripción. ¿Es un caso aislado? O mejor ¿cual es su punto de vista en este asunto?</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER: Esto que está reproducido aquí no es más que un armario, un simple armario para cambiarse de ropa como los que son utilizados en todos los vestuarios de las empresas. Estas fotografías no constituyen ninguna prueba.</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: Muy bien, le pido entonces que muestre el documento D-230. Es una descripción de garrotes.</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER: No son otra cosa que instrumentos destinados a reemplazar los garrotes de caucho. No disponíamos de caucho, por lo que pienso que los vigilantes eran provistos de alguna cosa parecida.</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: Es la misma conclusión que yo he extraído del documento.</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER: Sí. Pero los guardias no han necesariamente utilizado estos garrotes más que sus policías no hacen generalmente uso de sus porras de caucho. Aunque es preciso tener alguna cosa en las manos. Es costumbre en el mundo entero.</p>
<p>TMI, XVI, 577-578</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: Pienso, Señor Presidente, que las fotografías que yo he suministrado no son muy comprensibles sin una explicación. Voy a darla brevemente. Es una descripción de armarios de tortura utilizados en el campo para trabajadores extranjeros, sobre el terreno del taller de blindajes n.º 4 y en el campo ruso que era sórdido y estaba abandonado. Esta declaración realizada bajo juramente se expresa así:</p>
<p>&#8220;La fotografía A muestra un armario de acero que ha sido realizado especialmente para las fabricas Krupp para torturar a los trabajadores civiles rusos de una manera que no puede ser descrita en palabras.</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: &#8220;En lo alto del armario se encuentran algunos agujeros de ventilación por donde se vertía, durante los inviernos helados, agua fría sobre las infortunadas víctimas&#8221;.</p>
<p>M. JUSTICE JACKSON: &#8220;El abajo firmante Dahm ha visto personalmente como, sólo en la noche del nuevo año de 1945, tres trabajadores civiles rusos, después de haber sido golpeados, han sido encerrados en este armario, dos de ellos en el mismo compartimento. Dos de los rusos consiguieron resistir durante toda la noche del nuevo año en el compartimento mientras se vertía agua helada sobre ellos.&#8221;</p>
<p>TMI, XVI, 582</p>
<p>ACUSADO SPEER: (La fotografía es entregada al acusado.)</p>
<p>Y yo continuo creyendo que estos armarios eran para cambiarse de ropa y que esta taquilla es una de las innumerables taquillas que permiten a los obreros cambiarse antes y después del trabajo. Todo técnico alemán le dirá que son armarios para vestirse, y no armarios especiales, porque es un objeto de uso corriente. Por otra parte, tiene su explicación la presencia de agujeros de ventilación, porque toda taquilla los tiene en la parte superior e inferior.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En nuestros días cuando se ojea las obras consideradas para mostrar la &#8220;barbarie nazi&#8221;, no se encuentra ninguna de estas &#8220;cajas de tortura&#8221; tan queridas a R. Jackson. De manera evidente, se trata de simples taquillas en las cuales, los acusadores, cegados por sus prejuicios habían creído discernir espantosos instrumentos de tortura.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="35"></a>A guisa de conclusión</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cuando hoy releemos los procesos del Mariscal Petain, de Pierre Laval, de las Waffen SS, de Oradour&#8230;, nos percatamos de que si la acusación ha defendido falsedades (incluso políticas) también se ha mantenido dentro de ciertos limites y no ha dicho monstruosidades.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No ocurrió lo mismo en Nuremberg. Ante el Tribunal Militar Internacional, procuradores, abogados generales y testigos de cargo, pudieron decir no importa que, sostener no importa que acusaciones, incluso las más ridículas. Peor: fueron seguidos por los jueces que, lejos de indignarse, confirmaban un gran número de estas alegaciones delirantes, no vacilando, por ejemplo, en pretender que los alemanes habían fabricado jabón humano, reciclado cenizas de cadáveres para sintetizar abono o rellenado colchones con los cabellos de los deportados asesinados.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Así que, como era de prever, algunos de estos hechos &#8220;establecidos&#8221; en Nuremberg (como la fabricación de jabón humano) han sido oficialmente desmentidos más tarde. De los numerosos que quedan, no obstante, no han necesitado todavía desmentidos. Demasiado increíbles, demasiado demenciales, incluso para los antinazis más fanáticos, han sido simplemente olvidados una vez las pasiones de 1945-1946 fueron apaciguadas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cincuenta años después de los hechos, se puede aun intentar justificar el proceso de Nuremberg apoyándose en el derecho teórico o la moral teórica; se puede discutir para saber si el vencedor tenía el derecho de juzgar equitativamente al vencido; se puede polemizar en torno al principio de la no retroactividad de las leyes violadas en Nuremberg. Estas discusiones son, no obstante, inútiles: la sola lectura de las actas del proceso permite zanjar el debate. El montón de falsedades que ellas permiten revelar, y del cual nosotros hemos expuesto más arriba una muestra, debe bastar para despejar nuestras ultimas dudas: el &#8220;proceso de los grandes criminales de guerra ante el Tribunal Militar Internacional&#8221; no ha sido más que un linchamiento judicial, una gigantesca farsa, donde se podría reír, si doce hombres no hubieran perdido la vida(1).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Desde entonces, se ha impuesto la cordura de no creer nada sin verificación previa, lo que había sido &#8220;establecido&#8221; en Nuremberg. Las consecuencias de tal constatación son inmensas, por que sabiendo que la historia de Alemania ( y de sus pretendidos crímenes) entre 1933 y 1945 está en gran parte fundada sobre los considerandos del juicio de Nuremberg, se deduce que es toda la historia del nacionalsocialismo, desde los orígenes a la caída, la que conviene reescribir&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(1) Se piensa generalmente en once acusados que han sido finalmente condenados a muerte y ahorcados (se trata de: Hermann Göring (suicidado antes de poder ser asesinado), Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhem Keitel, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Alfred Rosemberg, Hans Frank, Wilhem Frick, Julius Streicher, Fritz Sauckel, Alfred Jodl y Arthur Seyss-Inquart). Se olvida, no obstante que un doceavo acusado, Robert Ley, se suicidó en su celda el 25 de octubre de 1945.</p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">On the evening of 14 August 1942, the first day of the Hebrew month of <i>Ellul</i>, a Friday, the SS surrounded the ghetto in the village of Zagrodski, near Pinsk in Belarus (Belorussia), home to five hundred Jewish families. <i>“The commotion and noise on that night”</i>, recalled Rivka Yosselevska, </font><i><font size="2">“was not customary, and we felt something in the air.”</font></i></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2" face="Arial">On Saturday morning 15 August 1942, the Germans entered the ghetto, ordering the Jews to leave their houses for a roll call. All day, the Jews were kept standing, waiting. Towards sunrise, the children screamed, demanding food and water. But the Germans would allow no one back into their homes.&#160;</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">That evening a truck arrived at the ghetto gates. The Jews were ordered on to it, and drove out of the ghetto. Those for whom there had been no room on the truck were ordered to run after it. <i>“I had my daughter in my arms”</i>, Rivka Yosselevska recalled, </font><i><font size="2">“and ran after the truck. There were mothers who had two or three children and held them in their arms – running after the truck. We ran all the way. There were those who fell – we were not allowed to help them rise. They were shot – right there – wherever they fell.”</font></i></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">On reaching the destination, Rivka Yosselevska saw that the people from the truck had already been taken off, and were undressed, <i>“all lined up.” </i>It was some three kilometres from the village, by “<i>a kind of hillock”</i>. At the foot of the hillock was a ditch. The Jews were ordered to stand on the hillock, where four SS men stood </font><i><font size="2">“armed to the teeth.”</font></i></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><i><span lang="EN-GB">“We saw naked people lined up”</span></i></font><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">, Rivka Yosselevska recalled, </font><i><font size="2">“and we hoped this was only torture. Maybe there is hope – hope of living.”</font></i></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">Her account continued:</font></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">“One could not leave the line, but I wished to see – what are they doing on the hillock? I turned my head and saw that some three or four rows were already killed – on the ground.</font></span></i></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2" face="Arial">There were some twelve people amongst the dead. I also want to mention that my child said while we were lined up in the ghetto, she said `Mother, why did you make me wear the Shabbat dress, we are being taken to be shot’-; and when we stood near the dug-out, near the grave, she said, `Mother, why are we waiting, let us run!’ </font></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">Some of the young people tried to run, but they were caught immediately, and they were shot right there. It was difficult to hold onto the children. We took all children, not ours, and we carried – we were anxious to get it all over- the suffering of the children was difficult- we all trudged along to come nearer to the place and to come nearer to the end of the torture of the children. The children were taking leave of their parents and parents of their elder people.</font></span></i></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2" face="Arial">We were driven; we were already undressed; the clothes were removed and taken away; our father did not want to undress; he wanted to keep his underclothes on. He did not want to stand naked. Then they tore the clothing off the old man and he was shot. I saw it with my own eyes. And then they took my mother, and she said, let us go before her, but they caught my mother and shot her too; and then there was my grandmother, my father’s mother, standing there; she was eighty years old and she had two children in her arms. And then there was my father’s sister. She also had children in her arms and she was shot on the spot with the babies in her arms.&#160;</font></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2" face="Arial">And finally my turn came. There was my younger sister, and she wanted to leave, she pleaded with the German; she asked to run, naked- she went up to the Germans with one of her friends; they were embracing each other; and she asked to be spared, standing there naked. He looked into her eyes and shot the two of them. They fell together in their embrace, the two young girls, my sister and her young friend. Then my second sister was shot and then my turn came.&#160;</font></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2" face="Arial">We turned towards the grave and then he turned around and asked, `Whom shall I shoot first?’ We were already facing the grave. The German asked, `Whom do you want me to shoot first?’ I did not answer. I felt him take the child from my arms. The child cried out and was shot immediately. And then he aimed at me. First he held onto my hair and turned my head around; I stayed standing; I heard a shot, but I continued to stand and then he turned my head again and he aimed the revolver at me, ordered me to watch, and then turned my head around and shot at me. Then I fell to the ground into the pit amongst the bodies – but I felt nothing.</font></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2" face="Arial">The moment I did feel I felt a sort of heaviness and then I thought may be I am not alive anymore, but I feel something after I died. I thought I was dead, that this was the feeling which comes after death. Then I felt that I was choking; people falling over me. I tried to move and felt that I was alive and that I could rise. I was strangling. I heard the shots and I was praying for another bullet to put an end to my suffering, but I continued to move about.</font></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><i><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2" face="Arial">I felt that I was choking, strangling, but I tried to save myself, to find some air to breathe, and then I felt that I was climbing towards the top of the grave above the bodies. I rose, and I felt bodies pulling at with me with their hands, biting at my legs, pulling me down, down. And yet with my last strength I came up on top of the grave, and when I did I did not know the place, so many bodies were lying all over, dead people; I wanted to see the end of this stretch of dead bodies, but I could not. It was impossible. They were lying, all dying; suffering; not all of them dead, but in their last sufferings; naked; shot, but not dead. Children crying, `Mother, Father’; I could not stand on my feet.</font></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="justify"><font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">The Germans had gone. There was nobody there, no one standing up. <i>“I was naked, covered with blood, dirty from other bodies, with the excrement from other bodies which was poured on me.” </i>Riivka Yosselevska had been wounded in the head, but she managed to crawl out of the grave, then she recalled;</font></span></font></p>
