For years, the United States, France, Poland and a number of other countries have been trying to convince Germany to consent to the opening of the so-called "Holocaust Archives" stored in the north-central German town of Bad Arolsen. Citing privacy concerns and fears of lawsuits, however, the German government had consistently refused to do so. For this reason the 50 million documents compiled by the Nazis during World War II have remained off limits to scholars and historians. The promised opening of the archive will provide access to the fate of 17 million victims of the Nazis. Steven Cassandra sc@moa.com May 30, 2007 Your local Crimestopper - Adolf Hitler? Hitler refused to stand in line and make an application for German citzenship in the normal way. So in 1930, a member of the Nazi Party arranged for him to be appointed the Chief Constable of Hildburghausen, a town in Germany's Thuringia region. This would automatically have made Hitler a German citizen. But the future Führer made a fuss: The job offered to him he said, as a Police Officer wasn't to his liking [it's thought he feared the bad press publicity of him being a Police Officer!!!] Since Hitler wanted to run as a candidate in the presidential elections members of the Nazi party in Braunschweig succeeded in finding him another position with the Braunschweig land surveying office, totally ignoring the fact that he was devoid of all professional skills qualifying him for this position. This allowed Hitler to obtain a German passport and run for public office. F Kochealer SKoch@cer.com May 30, 2007 I can not believe some people think this is fiction. I grew up in Belgium and I heard stories all my life,my grandmother having been in Germany during that time. My grandma is blond and blue eyed but she spent time in prison(not camp) for refusing to salute the SS who asked her out to dinner.I see my grandma as old and frail but to have the guts to stand up to them like that. It takes courage,She told me about the transports and the soldiers telling they had to kill all the jews and people who where disabled,Gypsy,homosexual not german , the list goes on. The way she said goodbye to this little jewish girl in the store 5 minutes before the child was shot down in the street because her mom had gone in a store. Till this day I get tears in my eyes when I think about all the stuff she told me.I have written her stories down and I am telling my daugther so it will never be forgotten,NEVER. I always stand up for telling the truth and tell anyone that has q and send them to your website.We must continue to tell these things because the people that where there are getting old and passing away.That why I recorded my grandma and her friends life during that time. I also made them sign the papers with a lawyer to make sure nobody can say I made it up.I have places,names,times,people including SS,Gestapo names because my grandma was forcebliy removed from Belgium and had to work for them in Germany and some of the girls she worked with went out with the soldiers etc. My grandma heard that they where given food,clothes etc to go out with them.My grandma never did and she paid for it,hardly any food, no medicine etc.But she told me Its not what you do at the time when you tell yourself your doing it to survive,but if you will be able to look in the eyes of your childeren and grandchilderen and be able to tell them what you where doing during that time.Take care everyone and thank you for spreading the news. Caroline darien86305@yahoo.com May 29, 2007 Jordan Wente May 22, 2007 It's a crucial question showing those pieces of history, the statements and arguments of the implicated SS leaders, because of the denial, negationnism, or however you choose to name it. I sometimes speak with an actual national-socialist, from german origin, born after WWII, who denies all of this, I'm shure that documents like what you shouw may contribute to finish with that pervert behavioral: personally I prefer to deal with someone who doesn't denies, like Maximilien Aue, fictional hero of "Les Bienveillantes", a book that puts Blobel and Ohlendorf as figures, and the reason why I arrived to your site. Thanks for existing Sebastián Sepúlveda sebasepulveda@hotmail.com May 21, 2007 I am a current student at an online college. I have choosen to research the holocaust for my final assingment. I felt that I knew the story behind the holocaust. The information that I found here has proved me ignorant. While reading the information of available articles, I have goose bumps, and my eyes are welled with tears. I will do my absolute best to accurately portray the travisties that occured and should never be forgotten.Thank you for this website and educating myself in particular. Amy Murphy Adragonfly76@aol.com May 21, 2007 Major Rudolph Hoess - Commandant of Auschwitz - coined the slogan - Arbeit Macht Frei. In his memoirs written whilst awaiting trial in Poland, Hoess wrote; "All my life I have thoroughly enjoyed working. I have done plenty of hard, physical work, under the severest physical conditions, in the coal mines, in oil refineries, and in brickyards.... Work in prison is a means of training for those prisoners who are fundamentally unstable and who need to learn the meaning of hard work..." Hoess, was responsible for placing the slogan Arbeit Macht Frei - Work makes you free - over the Auschwitz camp's main entrance gate. In 1941, Himmler summoned Hoess to Berlin, and told him secretly to transform Auschwitz into an extermination camp. According to Hoess, Himmler said: The Fuhrer has ordered that the Jewish question be solved once and for all...I have decided to entrust this task to you. It will be difficult and calls for complete devotion to duty... You will treat this order as absolutely secret...The Jews are to be eradicated. Every Jew that we can lay our hands on is to be destroyed during the war, without exception.... Anecdote: Hoess was known to send parcels back to Germany, the contents of which can only be guessed at.... he lived a life of such comfort that his wife was said to have remarked, "I will live here until I die." However, he took a non-Jewish camp inmate, Eleanor Hodys, as mistress, got her pregnant, then tried to have her murdered. She was rescued by a SS Judge investigating SS men stealing prisoners property in the camp, and taken to Munich for interrogation, the SS killed her at the end of the war. Hoess was hanged for the crimes he commited in Auschwitz, fittingly enough he was hanged in a grass knoll area situated just 35 yards away from the Auschwitz 1 gas chamber. * Unknown to the prisoners SS leader H Himmler had decided that none of them would ever be released, the slogan 'Work Will Set You Free' was a macabre joke at their expense. The modern day equilivant is "The beatings will continue until morale improves. " Norma D ndc9@yahoo.com May 19, 2007 The people who deny the Holocaust occurred are in denial and wish it had never happened. I do not understand how anyone could be so naive. Please keep the Holocaust inormation up front - we can NEVER forget!! For those who don't believe it could happen again, think again! Thank you for an informative website. Patricia Drew patty.drew@comcast.net May 18, 2007 Reply to Annie Alexandra McHendrix who wanted survivors to contact her to recount their experiences, or someone who's visited the Concentration Camps to do so: Annie you are going to have to dig this information out for yourself. Your first port of call needs to be the library, go to the section marked war, meaning books on war, and you should find survivors books there. Your next best source is a WWW search. The key search words are Holocaust, Concentration camps, Auschwitz, Dr Mengele, pronounced Men-gell- Lay, Llodz Ghetto and Judenrat. Warning, on the www web you'll find sites operated by anti-semites, these sites appear genuine and you might read 2 A4 pages of genuine Holocaust information before you spot the sly, disturbing untruth. One notorious site claims Auschwitz had a swimming pool, sports tournaments, football contests and well equipped hospitals for the prisoners, and the gas chambers were used for cleaning the prisoners clothing of lice. Another site claims the gas chamber walls contained no traces of cyanide compounds. The Yad Vashen site is the world leader in Holocaust Information and this site the USA AND Western worlds best. Good luck with your studies. Volunteer May 16, 2007 My father made it out of Hungary just before the war along with 2 brothers, but the rest of the family was lost. This site has given me more information than I have ever found on Hungarian Jews during the war. My father died when I was two so I was never able to ask any questions. My heart is always there with all the people that died by the Hitler SS. I know that we are not suppose to tattoo our bodies, but this year I had on my arm an eye with a Star of David in it, with tears falling down, with the words "Never Forget". This has made more people aware of what went on then, and we need to love each other as humans, not jews or christians. Bless all those people out there that just live and let live. To my family, to friends, I will live each day with the knowledge that I am free and proud to be a HUNGARIAN JEW! Ellen Weiman Collin ejcollin@gmail.com May 16, 2007 I'm surprised no ones ever mentioned the impact on passersby the Jewish deportation trains caused. These boxcar trains which took millions of Jewish subjects to the extermination camps, had ten or more, highly visible armed guards crouched along the roof. The presence of these rifle carrying guards especially on the roof, clearly indicated to passersby what was inside these boxcars, people, people being deported. As these trains passed through the countryside they were noticed by people working in the fields, they were seen by people on bikes or out walking, by people sat in cars waiting for the train to pass. These trains were spotted as they ran alongside roads, over rail bridges, as they passed through towns and villages and by other passengers sitting in trains coming from the opposite direction. When all these people got home they must have told others what they had seen, many would have said "We could see guards on the roofs and Jews staring at us through the barbed wire portholes". These deportation trains were a subject of conversation for many weeks and months to come in millions of German homes. So to say the German public did not know what was going on is clearly untrue. Trudy Walds14@yahoo.com May 16, 2007 Thank you very much for your work on this site. Informative and well linked. Vancouver, Canada Anonymous - May 16, 2007 I would like any information on the Holocaust from anyone who has been or has relatives that have been there. Please send me this information at my email address (ayoung1039@aol.com). This is important to me. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sincerely, Annie Alexandra McHendrix Annie McHendrix ayoung1039@al.com May 16, 2007 I may only be 13 but this history stuff interests me only when I go trying to learn it by myself because it's so BORING when my teacher tries to teach it Danielle sweetpea27958@yahoo.com May 15, 2007 As a college lecturer who has taught the Holocaust for nearly 30 years as part of the A Level History course, I just wanted to commend this site and the resources available to history teachers. Stephen Patterson spatterson@armaghcollege.ac.uk May 15, 2007 I wrote to Yad Vashem in Israel to see if they would support my suggestion that the non Jewish partners of Jewish spouses who went to the concentation camps with their partners could be honoured in some way, many of them need not have gone, this is the response received back. Thank you for the interest you are taking in our work. As a general rule, we don't award the title of Righteous Among the Nations to spouses who rescued their husband or wife. We assume that it is part of the solidarity that exists between married people. In many cases mixed marriages in Western Europe provided protection from deportation for the Jewish partners in that marriage. The Jewish partners had to wear the yellow badge and were submitted to all the anti-Jewish legislation, but were not deported. Their non-Jewish partners, if they chose to stick with their husbands/wives, had to suffer ostracism and from other restrictions. We have honored some of those who went on to rescue their spouses' relatives or friends. Best regards, Irena Steinfeldt E Wilson ewew@ntlworld.com May 14, 2007 Reply to Ralf who asked a number of philosophical questions about war and the Holocaust: For obvious reasons no member of the public wants war. The main cause of war is the overthrow of the Government by another Political group. These new groups rarely do any good, seldom carry out the reforms promised, and invariably seize control of the Armed Services, the Courts, the Police and the Treasury. In a nutshell if you want to become rich overnight then become President. If you want to live like a billionaire then seize power. I suspect its this aspect of politics that appeals to many. For instance Adolf Hitler attempted an overthrow of the German Government, known as the Munich coup. A very good clue to the mans nature is that on the day of the revolt he raided the Official German banknote printers premises and went off with sackfuls of German marks. Once you know this, then it's quite easy to forecast the rest of the story. Downhill all the way. Its a fallacy that theres a connection between manufacturing arms and planning war. I think any prominent arms manufacturer will tell you that Politicians are so good at going to war with neighbouring states that they certainly don't need any help from them.

In my opinion, every student in highschool should be required to learn about the Holcaust and other such genocides of the past and present just as they learn about the World Wars. Brendan O'Kelly beanhead84@hotmail.com May 9, 2007 Re Odilo Globocnik, I'd like to alert you to the recent publication of: Berndt Rieger: Creator of Nazi Death Camps. The Life of Odilo Globocnik. London/Portland OR: Vallentine Mitchell 2007. ISBN 978 0 85303523 7. Berndt Rieger berndt.rieger@t-online.de http://www.berndt-rieger.de/ May 9, 2007 Hello, I have some questions. Perhaps someone can help me and give me an answer: - Holocaust was a terrible thing, because about 6 million people were killed. Does anybody remember the number of the Russians, Polish, Italians, Japanese, English, US- citizens, French, Dutch as well as all the others killed during the war- even the number of killed Germans? - does anybody belive in the fact that there were Germans not willing to go to war - even to kill people (actually there was a lot of Germans emigrated to Netherland, England, France, Switserland and the USA, and there were not jewish at all) - does anybody belive in the fact that all people in the world suffer from war(?), even today in Iraqu? Does anybody believe in the fact that GIs don`t want to go to Iraqu to kill people and that they do not want to be killed themselves because they are just 20 years old? - Does anybody believe that war exists for any other reason than making money (remember: every bullet, every bomb, every tank has to be produced before it can be used - luckly bombs can be used only once...) - does anybody believe, that the reason for war is the same today than during WW1 and WW2 (economic reason?) - does anybody believe, that holocaust today is unimaginable (think about Mogadishu, Serbia, India and Bangladesh, Iraqu, Afganistan, Tschetschenien in Russia, North Korea and Guantanamo bay- cancentration camp first) - does anybody believe that we have learned anything from WW2 or the holocaust and that it wouldn`t happen in the futur again - isn`t there race discrinination and segregation all over the world and in any place; isn`t this the beginning of the end of democracy, where eyerybody has the same rights and opportunities for a life in peace and freedom Last question: What have we learned from WW2 and holocaust? Wouldn`t it be a sign of respect for the victims (of any race and any nation) if we could answer this question with the words: "Yes, we have learned that fear from anything that is different and the disrespect for life and cultur make it possible that politicians start war for economic reasons. We are willing to stop this. We do not believe what the media tell us the truth about terrorism, because we know that the Germans during WW2 also were told (by Goebbels), that the English and Americans were terrorists, occupieing Germany and that their leaders were jews (as you think of the mass destruction of Germany cities, for example Dresden, you understand that Germans were willing to believe in the lies they were told) I would like everybody understand what holocaust was. I also would like to understand what happened during WW2. I want everyone to understand that as a soldier you are suffering, no matter what nation or political aims you fight for. Thank you very much for reading this. Ralf VIBKIS@gmx.net May 9, 2007 i would like to know more aboutnaomi posinova. sarah butterfly15_1991@yahoo.com May 9, 2007 Dear Friends I'am so sorry for what happened to the Jewish people the rightous gentiles the Roma the homosexuals and the world. When I think of all the wonderful people that the nazi Dear friends I'amso sorry for the descrution of so many people that I know I will never find the adjectives or adverbs to do these victims justice. Tom Melchiorre t-melchiorre@comcast.net May 9, 2007 The bombing of Auschwitz by the Allies. This idea was not practical mostly because the Allies so called precision bombing was a myth. It was highly unlikely the planes sent would find their target, most wouldn't, if they did the chances of hitting Auschwitz was slim and any damage done would soon be repaired, and the aircraft sent would be attacked and mauled badly by German fighter aircraft [which meant a night-time attack was advised] A much better solution would have been a 10 - 15 million leaflet drop over 15 major cities from aircraft. Leaflets giving warning messages to the German High Command, the SS, and the Gestapo, that the acts and reprisals they were ordering and taking part in were illegal, that the defence they were obeying orders would not be tolerated, and they would be arrested and HUNG as war criminals. To suggest the Allies knew what was going on, they did, a list of the major concentration camps and Nazi prisons which were causing the Allies concern could have been included. Also a warning message to collaborators that they would be arrested and tried as traitors would have done a lot of good. Another paragraph could have mentioned the murder/s of the mentally ill asylum inmates, this would have caused revulsion in some circles. And maybe best of all the release of 1000 disabled German POW, all carrying letters containing a similar message addressed to the German High Command, and the Mayors of various cities. A leaflet drop over Rome calling on the Pope to intervene, would have highlighted the Catholics churchs lack of action and concern. Bombing Germany into submission was nonsense of the highest order and did no good whatsover. * I'm aware that the Monowitz rubber factory close to Auschwitz was attacked, but the Germans had no problems repairing the damage caused because they had upwards of 5000 building repair slave labourers in barracks nearby. ** Bombing the rail lines was not practical because a new section of replacement track can be installed in about 2 hours, and trains can be diverted onto undamaged rail sections. AS Rail Worker asd railinfo@ntlworld.com May 8, 2007 I am in highschool and we are watching Schindlers List. I spelled that wrong... Anyhow this site helped because the movie was too graphic for me to watch. Andrea Fenell andrea.angeleyes@gmail.com May 7, 2007 Thanks so very much for taking your time to create this very useful and informative site. I have learned a lot from your site. Thanks!! Bill mai@yandex.com http://amesitio.org/army-ako May 3, 2007 For Calisia who asked for further information on "Daniels Story": 'Daniel's Story', is a 136-page novel written by Carol Matas. In this book written for children of all ages, she describes a number of true incidents which happened to Jewish children during the Holocaust. The authors fictional hero "Daniel", is deported with his parents, he writes a secret diary which we get to read. 'Daniels Story'was chosen by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, to base their childrens exhibit on. The door to the childrens exhibit is located on the north side of the main floor, called the Hall of Witness. This childrens exhibit takes viewers into Daniels hometown, his home, and his life inside the ghetto by which one experiences Daniel's ordeal. Daniel's Story: Remember the Children is a short exhibit designed for children who are too young to see the permanent exhibit, there is frequently a line waiting to get in. Daniel represents Jewish children everywhere, including those called David, Ben, Bob, Tom, Sarah and Ruth, and 1.5 million others 'whose names are known only unto God'. For Younger Students ABCQ@aool.com May 5, 2007 i went to auschwitz and birkenau and i was a christian before i researched and went there (i live in australia)and then i went to vienna and budapest where also stuff about hitler still carries on and when i returned home i decided to abandon my thought and beliefs that god existed and i became an athiest.More than 6 million people died in all of the holocaust and even though hitler didnt do it personally he still gave the commands which ended alot and alot of important lives,the people that died during the holocaust do not go unremembered because i for one will always remember this event in history and i will tell my children aswell when they are old enough to understand, an event in history like this cannot just disappear it must be remembered!i also did alot of research on a particular person at auschwitz and that was Mengele (the angel of death)and he was another reason i decided to become an athiest.I also went to the house of terror in budapest with my family and collected the panphlets that were in each room,when i walked into the gas chamber in auschwitz my belief of god disappeared almost instantly and i will never believe in "him" again even though i have friends at school that still believe that the holocaust had nothing to do with god,everybody has their own opinions and i respect that but that does not change the fact that auschwitz happened and "god" did nothing about it , all the research that i did on auschwitz sits in my closet for the day when my children are old enough to understand what i am ready to tell them because even though this tragic event is something that should not be spoken about to children but this part of history can never be forgotton and all the people that died in those gas chambers and at the hands on the nazis must be remembered for our future. im 16 i was 15 when i went europe and i never even imagined that something this horrible could have ever happened but it did and i will never forget it , even though i never knew anyone related to or in the holocaust or auschwitz i have read about certain people that died and fought until the very end and i honour every single one of them. R.I.P trinity trinity_11snape@hotmail.com May 5, 2007 I was looking at photos of dead people on the web, Holocaust victims. Some laid scattered about on the ground and others thrown into mass graves. It occurred to me that the captions under these photographs should always start with the words CRIME SCENE PHOTO, followed by the relevant caption. This is to bring it home to people that these people are victims of a crime, that they were murdered, and that a serious criminal act was committed on them. In my book a pogrom is a crime, to starve people to death is a crime and to kill children and non combatant adults is a crime. You cannot excuse these acts by saying there was a war on, and in war these things happen. They don't. G AliceTraynor Allice33@yahoo.com May 4, 2007 Even though I'm not Jewish, I still feel this is an important subject for everyone. It could be anyone next time. Micheal Gallatin mcgaloot@bigfoot.com May 4, 2007 Reply to Naomi who sought the following question answered. [Q] I need the full bibliography on Naomi Posinova. "Naomi" email address Ashleyn51687@aol.com Naomi Posinova was born in Prague, on January 4, 1932. She was an only child. After the German army occupied Prague in March 1939, various antisemitic measures were enacted. From October 1941 to March 1945, the Germans deported 46,000 Jews from Prague to the concentration camps. In August 1942, Naomi and her parents were deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia. Conditions in all these camps including Theresienstadt were terrible. Often there were daily "selections," and those chosen were deported to the death camps at Auschwitz - Birkenau or Treblinka. In late 1944 or thereabouts, Naomi and her parents were taken to Birkenau. Soon after their arrival, Naomi and her mother were murdered in the gas chambers. Naomi was twelve years old. Naomi was one of 1.5 million Jewish children murdered by the Germans during the Holocaust. Mabel Goodhall MHGsH@AOL.com May 3, 2007 The Holocaust was based on one mans criminal aims. This person, ADOLF HITLER, threaded together a number of ideas concerning the establishment of a United States of Germany, which would illegally incorporate other nations land/s, people, buildings and possessions. To people this model state he chose a role model mythical person k/as the blonde / flaxon haired Aryan. The plan was a German super-state nation of perhaps 150 million people, and a sub-nation of approximately 10 million state workers and domestic servants, most of whom were intended to serve the German nation for upto 3 years and then die, or be replaced. German super state citizenship would only be granted to those who were German by birth or from Saxon stock, and who ideally fitted the role model chosen. This plan was initiated by Hitler, and implemented by others, for instance the extermination camps were the disposal centres for the first batches of unwanted citizens, so, 11 million died, including 6 million Jews. This mass killing was to continue for about 10 years, and the super state mentioned created within 20. Its well known that after the Jews were killed, it was the turn of the Poles, then the Slavs. What we saw during WW2 was a social engineering plan whose intention was to outstrip and rival the UK, USA and Canada, and by doing so create a 1000 year German Reich. The total deaths envisaged numbered about 25 million law abiding citizens, and maybe 3 million criminals and asocials, meaning those deemed unworthy of life. Zara Dedham Zararts@nnl.co.uk May 3, 2007 God and the Holocaust. Make no mistake about it, God died in the gas chambers. Opinion poll figures record this fact in all major western countries surveyed after 1945. What these polls fail to indicate is that amongst Jews, Gods reputation and standing is zero. If God is mentioned in private conversation, I guarantee someone will immediatly mention the Holocaust and what happened, with the end result being that these informal groups agree that God does not exist. The Holocaust brought into focus Gods absence, and how rediculous it was to think he could protect you, or even exist. Worldwide Hitler, Himmler and Heydrich, turned millions of former worshippers of all faiths into realists. If you want further proof of this just look at how many disused and boarded up churches and synagogues there are. Stanley Ableson StanAbba@aol. com May 2, 2007 As a convert to Judaism my views on Jews and the Jewish community are mostly favourable. The only reservations I have, based on true incidents which upset me deeply are the following: When I attended the local synagogue during my conversion period the Rabbi never shook my hand, or said "Good Sabbath" to me, spoke to me, or made me welcome, nor did the congregation. I was an outcast and treat like one. When my mother in law died [a wonderful woman] it was not allowed for my name as one of the chief mourners to be put on the tombstone because I wasn't Jewish! And sadly, whilst on his death bed [he died the next day] my father in law asked me to leave "because I wasn't Jewish and he made it quite plain he wanted only his Jewish birth family around him. Suffice to say I have been a wonderful provider to his daughter, to his own family and to himself. He ccertainly knew where to come when he wanted aid or help. I will let pass another 101 snubs and incidents which are inconsequential. Those familar with the Jewish Orthodox community [fellow Jews] will not be surprised at these comments, whilst non- Jews will be horrified. One hopes that one day the leaders of the Jewish Community will address the couldn't-care-less-public relations disasters that they visit upon themselves and others whose sincerity is beyond question. May I add that anti-semitism is wrong and undeserved. I am saying that improvement is needed and it needs to be within the Orthodox community, the Reform and Liberal Jewish communties have voluntarily changed for the better. Bew Stanwyck BeulahS@stagecoach.com May 2, 2007 When I was a child, I lived some 10 miles from a huge complex of steelworks, and at dusk we used to sit outside our homes and admire the beautiful red sunsets hovering directly over these works. When we younsgters questioned adults about this, they told us "that the skies are red because they must be emptying the blast furnaces at the steelworks, and the heat given off was responsible for the glow seen". You can imagine my surprise to read amongst an ex prisoners "Tales of Auschwitz testimony", the same type of red sunset incident mentioned. This prisoner described how they often sat outside the prisoner-barracks at sunset, and he went on to say that the red sunsets seen by them was created by the heat given off by the adjacent crematoria chimneys in the Auschwitz - Birkenau extermination camp. These crematoria handled the burning off hundreds of thousands of victim corpses. Other prisoners have reported that the bricks in these chimneys needed to be replaced constantly because they crumbled due to the high burning temperatures created and that human fat lined these chimney's walls to a depth of some 6 - 8 inches in parts. Ruth Ellis RellisIsle@yahoo.com May 2, 2007 May 1, 2007: WWII: The Holocaust The holocaust was the mass killing of around 6 million European Jews during World World II. It was also the deliberate extermination that was planned and excecuted by the National Socialist German Workers Party which was lead by Adolf Hitler. Many other groups were also persecuted and killed by the National Socialist German Workers Party. These included 220,000 Sinti and Roma as well as the disabled, homosexuals, Communists and other political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses, Polish citizens, and Soviet, POWs, Ukrainians, Russians, and Byelorussians. They even used the children and babies for experiments. One doctor, named Dr. Josef Mengele, at the Auschwitz concentration camp was famous for his experiments on human subjects. They often included placing people in pressure chambers, testing various drugs on them, freezing them to death, and other usually fatal experiments. The most interest he had was in twins, Gypsies, dwarves and infants. Almost all of his experiments had little or no scientific value. He even tried to change eye color by injecting chemicals into childrens eyes, various amputations and other surgeries, and at least one time, he tried to surgically transform normal twins into Siamese twins. While many other doctors did experiments too, Mengele was the worst of them all. The thing that I find horrible is that he did all those experiments on the poor children and all these papers were destroyed. The children who lived were often killed within 1 week after the experiment. Even before the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933 they made no secret of their antisemitism. As early as 1919, Adolf Hitler had wrote, “Rational antisemitism however must lead to systematic legal opposition. Its final objective must unswervingly be the removal of the Jews altogether.” Hitler backed this up in full force when he came into power in Germany. When Hitler came to power legally on January 30, 1933 as the head of a coalition government, his first objective was to gain full power and to eliminate all political oppositions. The assult of the Jews started on April 1, with a boycott of Jewish businesses. One week later, Hitler started an all out campaign on exterminating the Jews. The reason why he did this was because he felt as if the Jews would be a political threat to his power. One week after that, the Nazis dismissed Jews from the civil service, and by the end of the month, the participation of Jews in German schools was restricted by a quota. On May 10 a couple thousand Nazi students along with many professors, stormed university libraries and bookstores in 30 cities throughout Germany to remove thousands of books written by non-Aryans and those opposed to Nazi ideology. The books were tossed into bonfires in an effort to cleanse German culture of un-Germanic writings. A century earlier, Heinrich Heine—a German poet of Jewish origin—had writen “Where one burns books, one will, in the end, burn people.” In Nazi Germany, the time between the burning of Jewish books and the burning of Jews was eight years. After the 1932 elections it became clear to the Nazi leaders that they would never be able to secure a majority of the votes and that they would have to rely on other means to gain power. Leading up to the 1933 elections, the Nazis began intensifying acts of violence to wreak havoc among the opposition. At the same time, with cooperation from local authorities, they set up camps as concentration centers within Germany. One of the first was Dachau, which opened in March 1933. These early camps were meant to hold, torture, or kill only political prisoners, such as Communists and Social Democrats. Eventually, the Nazis imprisoned Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, critical journalists, and other people they didn’t like. These early prisons, usually basements and storehouses, were eventually consolidated into full sized, centrally run camps outside of the cities and removed from the public people. By 1942, six large extermination camps located in Nazi- occupied Poland, had been established. After 1939 with the beginning of the Second World War, the concentration camps increasingly became places where the non political enemies of the Nazis including Jews and POWs were either killed or forced to act as slave laborers and kept undernourished and most of the time, tortured till death. I chose Primo Levi for my holocaust survivor. Primo Levi was born in Turin in a Jewish middle-class family on July 31, 1919. He got enrolled into the school Massimo d'Azeglio liceo classico in 1934. This was a secondary school specializing in the classics. The school was best known for its anti-Fascist teachers. He graduated from Massimo d'Azeglio liceo classico in 1937. In 1938 things were about to change for him. The fascist government introduced racial laws that no longer allowed Jewish people to attend any schools that were run by the state. This didn’t stop Levi, though. He kept his spirits up and, even though it was very hard for him, he found another person to train him in his time of need. Through hard work and perseverance he graduated in 1941 with full marks and merit. This was because he had submitted a thesis in physics. Even then the racist laws kept him from getting a good steady job. In September 1943, Levi and a number of comrades sneaked to the foothills of the Alps and were going to attempt in joining the liberal Giustizia e Libertà partisan movement that was taking place there. Being very poorly trained, weak from the rain and cold, while they were sneaking though the dark of the night they ran across the Fascist militia. They were so weak and poorly trained that the militia quickly captured him and his friends. The militia, finding out that he was a Jew, sent him to an internment camp for Jews at Fossoli near Modena. There he spent the next five months in a Jewish prison camp. The worst was still to come and he didn’t know it yet. On February 11, 1944, the inmates of the camp were transported to Auschwitz in twelve cramped cattle trucks. Many people died there. The only reason that Levi survived the prison camp was because of luck, brains and he knew german. He was one of the 20 people that survived the prison. The other 630 people he had been shipped there with were all dead. He was smart, so he quickly adapted himself to the life of a prison camp. Doing this, he didn’t draw the attention of the snitching priveleged inmates. He was really smart though. He used bread to pay a more experienced Italian prisoner for German lessons and a detailed desription of Auschwitz. He also received a smuggled soup ration each day from Lorenzo Perrone, an Italian civilian bricklayer. His professional qualifications were also useful in mid-November 1944 he was able to secure a position as an assistant in the Buna laboratory that was intended to produce synthetic rubber. Therefore, he avoided being in the cold weather doing hard labor. He also knew as a chemist, he could safely eat cotton wool and drink paraffin at the factory. So he was working in a nice warm place and he didn’t freeze to death outside doing hard labor like a slave. Little did he know that working inside was going to save him. A round of scarlet fever spread thoughout the prison. He (fortunately) caught it and was placed in the prison's sanatorium. In the middle of January, the SS hurriedly evacuated the camp as the Red Army approached, forcing all but the gravely ill on a long death march that led to the death of the vast majority of the remaining prisoners. Levi's illness spared him of this horrible death. The SS, not wanting to die, left the gravely ill and weak in their sick beds and left them all for dead. Liberated by the Soviets in January 1945, Levi returned to Turin on October 21, 1945. He started back up his work as a chemist, living in a stately old building that his family had occupied for three generations. In 1961 Levi became the fulltime writer. Levi wrote his prison recollections in the form of a memoir, Se questo è un uom, which documented how the camp deprived prisoners of their identity. It finally sold over half a million copies and then it was translated into eight languages and adapted for the theater and radio. Part of the book's impact was based on Levi's sober and precise stlye. In spite of the brutality to which he was subjected, Levi described the terrible events objectively like an observing scientist, but it was also noted with compassion the heroism in the suffering of the people who had died. After this he wrote the sequel called LSA TREGUA, in which he portrayed his wanderings in the war torn eastern Europe in Poland, Belorussia, the Soviet Union, Hungary, and Romania. During the journey, Levi meets a gallery of colorful, rootless companions in misfortune, among them Mordo Nahum a Greek, from who Levi learns that in war you must first think of shoes, then of food. Without shoes you can't go out to get food. Levi returns home on the last pages of his account, but he has a continual nightmare in which his present life turns out to be a mere illusion and he wakes up with Auschwitz's morning call: Wstawac. But Levi also uses his experiences as a basis for philosophical meditations dealing with the return to life after the horrors of the prison camp. Levi died in Turin on April 11, 1987. His death was apparently a suicide. Levi jumped off the central stairwell of his house. Before and after Auschwitz, Levi had suffered from depression, but his death was interpreted as a sign that he had not triumphed over his horrible experiences. In a lecture in 1979, Levi had expressed his deeply pessimistic view of humanity, seeing life as terrible. The thought of all the people who had died that were stronger than him had finally gotten to him. He had killed himself because of depression. The way that most people feel today about the Holocaust is that it should never ever happen again. Mnay people fell that it could have been prevented if we had stepped in and helped before Hitler had gone completely crazy. Of the people that had lived during the Holocaust many say that it’s not fair that they should have had to go though that and the government not care. I would say that about 95% of people belive that at no cost at all should we let anyone start another genicide or a Holocaust. I personally think that it could have been prevented if we had steped in and stoped Hitler. During the war more that 2/3s of the Jewish population was killed. That’s a little over 4 million people. There is no excuse why that many people should have to die for no reason. I belive that noone should go thought what they did. 1 .http://www.holocaust-history.org/ 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust 3. http://www.inch.com/~ari/levi1.html 4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primo_Levi 5. http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/primo.htm 6. http://www.holocaust-history.org/guest-book/ Thank you so much for this site it provided me with loads of information for my history paper.

So many things have been told and written about the holocaust, So many tears and hearts aching right down to this day. I thought it interesting that for the frist time that I know of,that it was said those who died in the gas chambers upon their arrival are lost ones. Due to the fact noone knows their names,or who they were. They could easily be forgotten. We as humans have done some horrible things to each other. But those who have died there will never be forgotten, they are not lost souls without a name. Although there are billions of our love ones who are gone from us(asleep in death) will soon open their eyes with gladdness.Bought about not by mans will who is powerless over death, but by God" will, who it is said,Our lord is great and abundant in power ;his understanding is beyond recounting(PS143:5). donna deepestbrown@yahoo.com May 1, 2007 I need the full bibliography on Naomi Posinova.

Jonelle Romero April 30, 2007 Notes for Students: We publish here a brief extract from the memoir of an Auschwitz inmate. The author Roman Rosdolsky was not a Zionist and not a Jew. In 1942 he was arrested by the Gestapo. [>] "Fortunately for me, I wasn’t taken to Auschwitz until early 1943, that is, at the time when the camp regime had begun to relax. True, they still sent all cripples, old people, typhus convalescents, and people with swollen legs or no teeth to the crematorium. To the unfortunate Jews, however, and only to them, this reform did not apply. For the whole of two years, 1943 and 1944, transports would arrive at Birkenau with thousands of Jews. Only a small portion of them — specialists of all sorts — were chosen to work in the camp. The rest were immediately dispatched to the gas. The reader will ask how I know all this. Unfortunately, I was forced to witness it. From spring 1943 until autumn 1944, I worked as a carpenter on the second floor of a huge factory, Deutsche Ausrustungswerke, which stood halfway between the main camp and Birkenau. The large factory windows looked out over Birkenau. From them we saw the end of the railroad tracks leading to Birkenau as well as, and above all, the chimneys of the crematoria.... We were always tormented by hunger, and the bolder prisoners among us began to steal [clothing and food] bundles that had once belonged to dead Jews. How did all these horrors affect the life of our work team? Imagine: rows of work tables.... No one speaks, all eyes are focused on the Birkenau crematoria. Only now and again someone laughs bitterly, hysterically, and then wipes tears from his cheek...... For the full memoir please do a www search for Roman Rosdolsky Auschwitz Prisoner.

Please keep up the great job. Frank Rizzo frank.rizzo2007@yahoo.com April 26, 2007 When Soviet troops captured Berlin, they took prisoner Hitlers two closest aides. These two men, Heinz Linge and Otto Gunsche, were taken to Russia and interrogated for two years. They revealed that Hitler and Himmler held regular meetings to discuss and plan the massacre of Europes Jews, they confirmed that Hitler was kept well informed during these meetings of the Jewish death toll figures, they also revealed that Hitler had been given an architects drawing for the proposed new *gas chambers being planned for Auschwitz - Birkenau to study, they said Hitler looked at these plans and made minor suggestions on how they could be improved. These two mens statements alone would easily have convicted Hitler of war crimes. * The Birkenau gas chambers were built underground so that the cries and screams from the victims would be muffled by the earth walls surrounding them. The Architect/s had taken into account the noise and shouting emanating from these buildings, and had allowed for it by placing the killing areas underground [you walked down stairs to reach the undressing and gassing rooms] Please do a www search on Heinz Linge and Otto Gunsche for more detailed information. Donna Farnaby dfstco@mmc.com April 26, 2007 Suggestion Box: A Righteous Gentiles Award by Yad Vashem to be awarded to all the WW2 Faithful unto Death - non Jewish partners who accompanied their spouses to the death camps. Explanation: During the Holocaust there was numerous incidents of non Jewish partners voluntarily choosing to accompany their Jewish fiances, or marriage partners to the Jewish assembly areas, the ghettos, or to the concentration camps. They suffered the same fate as them and many ended up in the gas chambers. I am writing to Yad Vashem asking that these people when discovered and identified, are honoured as Righteous Gentiles also. Whats not appreciated, or widely known, is that the SS and Gestapo occasionally told them not to be fools, not to go with their Jewish partners, and offered many of them their freedom from arrest - but a great numer refused this offer. They went and we know what happened to them. Isn't it about time they were honoured as Righteous Gentiles also. EW. Leeds, UK. April 25 2007. E Wilson ew.leeds.wy. @aol.com April 25, 2007 SORRY SORRY SORRY very sorry shawn April 24, 2007 May I suggest that if you want to see what Jewish men and women look like, that you undertake an internet search for Jewish marriage agencies, or Jewish dating sites. If you do this, then you'll see for yourself on these sites the most ordinary of people. People very much like yourself. Look closely at them, would you murder them,kill them, or slander them, off course you wouldn't. This is a very good way to educate yourself about real Jews, need I add that the people who died in the camps were almost exactly the same as those shown in these dating photographs.Just one generation removed. Meta Bishop mab077@aol.com April 24, 2007 In the 1920s there was a lot of opposition to Hitler in Germany because he was an Austrian citizen and not a German. Typical comments made about him were "throw him out". "He's not German so get rid off him", "Hitler, and all the Nazis are trouble makers". The Nazis reply to this was "that by enroling in the German Army in WW1 he had EARNED the right to be a German, and his WW1 war military service entitled him to live in Munich and Germany, and to call himself a German. Yet when he came to power in 1933 he forgot that Jews who had joined the German Army in WW1, had, like him, earned the right to live in Germany also? I wonder if any newspaper reporter ever threw this argument at him. Bystander talesof theunder@world.com April 22, 2007 No words from me could ever change or ease the human sufering that the victims of the Holocaust endured; I could never express the pain in my heart at the thought of all the suffering of the Jews, and other innocent people at the hands of the nazi's. I am sorry, I would so like to express what my heart feels...but there are no words that could ever tell you about the sorrow I feel in my heasrt and soul. My brother, David, is Jewish, and I have lived my life with him for over 40 years. I love him and can know how I would feel if anyone were to try and persecute or harm my brother. Robert Mitchiner-Senecal robert@senecal.as April 20, 2007 I visited Rome and every girl seen was gorgeous and guess what they all looked Jewish. And so do Greek, Armenian, Russian, Arab and Bulgarian women. It appears racial stereotyping is a load of bxollocks. OK for dimwits, but pure nonsense in real life. I'm looking for a nice Jewish women aged about 40 to 57, marriage, travel and home cooking. I want an homelife, not some disco doll. Ira Swann ir.townand travel@AOL.com April 19, 2007 It is a well known fact that the people who orchestrated and carried out the failed eradication of the Jewish race were themselves quite proud of their actions. They kept meticulous records and documented it rather extensively. And I can understand this, after all how else could they justify it? They thought they were doing mankind a favor by killing all Jews. Thus it is puzzling to me why those who try to convince people the Holocaust never happened don't proudly proclaim their association with the Nazis and their genocidal goals; at least the Nazis never tried to hide their hatred. To the cowardly Holocaust deniers I say that your heroes the Nazis would have contempt for the likes of you. Don't be chumps, tell the world, or could it be that you're yellow. David DiPietro dipiet@comcast.net April 18, 2007 Notes for Students: I recently read that after the Buchenwald Concentration Camp was liberated the prisoners decided that they should erect a simple stone memorial and dedicate it to those who died in the camp. This memorial took eight days to complete and when it was ready a simple prayer service was organised for the newly liberated camp prisoners to attend. All were invited - except the Jewish prisoners who were told not to attend. Another shocking incident involves a group of Jewish women prisoners in Birkenau who were attacked by a group of Russian women prisoners, who used shovels, buckets and spades to kill them all with. Some students will be aware that in modern day prisons the prisoners are segregated by race, and white prisoners more often than not will not mix with, or associate with black or brown fellow prisoners. Its well known that prisoners occasionally identify with their captors and enemies, and have been known to join forces with the Nazi's against their own comrades. Strange as it might seem some war criminals were once prisoners themselves in the same camp that they ended up terrorising their fellow prisoners in?

Psalmist 23rd Psalm@ohio .co April 14, 2007 The Swiss Bankers have not paid to the WJC the promised the 1998 $1.2 billion dollars restitution and Holocaust survivors have not received the funds promised to them by the Swiss 8 years ago. Because of crticism similar to the above and worse, Israel Singer, one of the heads of the World Jewish Congress was dismissed in an unexpected move Wednesday April 12, 2007 from all his posts in the WJC. The decision to fire Singer was announced by WJC President Edgar Bronfman and approved by the WJC steering committee. The question needs to be asked where do a large proportion of WJC funds go – and why are survivors destitute, sick and living in dire circumstances and not able to benefit from them?

Stacee April 12, 2007 I would like to thank Sophie Scholl and the members of the White Rose for their acts of courage in the face of insanity. If only more could have joined them... Steve April 11, 2007 THE JEWISH DELICATESSAN. Our local Jewish delicatessan was run by a married Jewish couple [The Taylors]both in their mid 60's. They had been there many many years serving customers in this very busy and popular shop. It was popular because this couple argued non-stop and irrespective of how many customers were stood waiting to be served the arguments and screaming at each other came first. They threw bread, bagels, chickens and all manner of goods at each other, and the hate and hatred between these two had to be seen to be believed. The Taylors shops been closed about 30 years now, but whenever people meet who knew them both, they are the number 1 topic of conversation. People loved the Taylors and they were a much loved institution. If you left there shop without a smile on your face and something to talk about it was rare. For no extra cost you could even be insulted by them. In short you were a witness to two very real people doing there own thing in there own strange un-businesslike way and take it from me no modern supermarket could compete with the Taylors, and yes, they were Jewish, but what difference does that make? They were well loved very ordinary people. And you will never ever be as famous as them locally, or spoken about with such love and affection.

I used to post a fair amount on the old Fido boards...and used the 'shock talk' method to gain attention. Worked then, works now...and how I used to get dialogue flowing when it came to discussing the Holocaust was to always start off the discussion with ... the 'alleged' Holocaust. You can imagine the storm that caused. I read a pov the other day that made me pause...it had something to do with the theory that even if we give the Holocaust deniers a slive of a platform, we are giving them too much. Kind of made me question my old rabble-rousing, shock-talk methods. I post under a couple of different aliases, but am now going on the attack and slamming hard any denier. They are full of shit and full of hate. And for those who want to compare the Holocaust to Darfur and Rwanda, an equally strong attack. We must never, ever, forget what an allegedly civilized country tried to do to the Euro-Jews. Ever. Larry Myles natasha_kidd@hotmail.com April 10, 2007 An excerpt from a letter written in 1945 by an Holocaust Survivor: "Uncle Wolf Lewkowicz, together with his children, Regina and Yosek, were with us in Opoczno [ghetto]for three years of the war and, during the whole time, never ceased to tell (us) about you. It's very difficult for me to write this, but even when they were taking us to Treblinka to be burned,Uncle Wolf screamed that he was responsible for the death of his children because, if he had wanted [to] they would already have been in America [now] It is not significant now whether he wanted it or not. Unfortunately, this is the bitter message [I must send you] Of our family, I am the only one remaining. I am, at least, able to console myself with the fact that I took revenge on our Nazi murderers. I was a partisan for a year and a half. However, no matter how many of the bandits I killed, nothing can bring back my dear parents, brothers, sisters, uncles and family. They were victims. I don't know when they were burned and where their ashes are buried. Did they really deserve not to have a grave and for no one to know when to recite Kaddish [Memorial Prayers for the dead for them] Nevertheless, this is the tragic extent of the catastrophe [that befell us]Be well. Your cousin, who wants to hear of no more evil.... Aaron Chmielnicki S Vine svine7@delbo.org April 10, 2007 Some 43 years ago when Jews were being refused permission to leave the USSR, a newspaper writer said that Jews when they protested this matter were to polite and too diplomatic to do any good. He suggested being rude and obnoxious to all USSR Consulate staff in order to get results. This was good advice in 1973, it was even better advice in 1939. We all saw what happpened in WW2, the polite Jews, especially those USA Jews connected with the World Jewish Congress achieved nothing. They didn't even have the political clout to save the hundreds of displaced people refugees on the SS St Louis [do a Google search for the Voyage of the Dammed, or watch the film. So much for the alleged power of World Jewry. Its a myth and 6 million dead and another refugee ship the Exodus, prove it. D Jenner djdjgen@ntlword.com April 10, 2007 I just hope that many people realize that the Holocaust could have never happened. The rest of the world did nothing to stop the genocide.

Cody darkbat565@yahoo.com http://www.holocaust-history.org/guest-book/sign-in.cgi April 4, 2007 A British Government "Education & Skills for Young People" Survey has reported that school teachers in Britain [England, Scotland and Wales] drop teaching about the Holocaust in classroom history lessons to avoid offending Muslim Students. The same report mentions that some teachers are reluctant to cover the Holocaust because it offends a number of students "private beliefs" [?] which embrace or include Holocaust denial. Reading between the lines it appears [many] Muslim students disrupt history lessons if the Holocaust is dealt with sympathetically by teachers and the pupils split into factions each trying to shout down the other. To avoid this happening teachers have decided that teaching Holocaust History is out in schools with a high-proportion of Muslim students. There's no mention in the report of teaching tolerance and good citenship to unruly students. Laura Mann lmlm77@aol.co.uk April 2, 2007 Notes for student. In Birkenau Concentration Camp, situated 2.5 km from Auschwitz, there was a restricted entry area which contained 14 huge warehouse type buildings, these buildings resembled farmers barns with large entry doors at one end. Approximately 600 Jewish women worked in this area known as "Canada" [the land of plenty"] sorting and packing stolen property for shipment to Germany. Each day a German officer from Auschwitz visited this area to collect all the banknotes, gold coins, jewellery and diamonds that had been found in prisoners luggage, these items were taken back by him to the Auschwitz HQ, for sorting and valuation. The banknotes were banked and have been traced through bank records, but no one knows for certain what became of the rest and who took it and kept it, or where it is today. Like the 6 million Jews who were killed it simply dissapeared into the fog and mist. I myself would like to know what became of the thousands of World War 1 medals that had been awarded to German Jews for bravery on the battlefields and in the trenches, these medals were carried by many prisoners in order to prove that "they were good Germans who had fought well for Germany". I am convinced these medals were put into boxes in "Canada" and some German medal dealer managed to obtain them. Behind Canada the Germans had started to build another huge camp called "Mexico" in camp slang, but this was never completed. If it had of been this camp would have dwarfed all the other camps then in existance.

These are typical enties: August 30,1942.Departure from Prague 8.15 a.m, arrival at Concentration Camp Auschwitz at 5.36 p.m. Camp in quarantine on account of numerous contagious diseases (typhus,malaria,dysentery)Received secret orders about what took place there and my role in the extermination process. August 31,1942.Water is infected,so we drink seltzer-water which is served free (mattoni water)First inoculation against typhus.Had photo taken for the camp identity card. September 1,1942.Have ordered SS officer's cap,sword-belt and brace from Berlin by letter. September 2,1942.Was present for the first time at a special action at 3 a.m. Auschwitz is justly called an extermination camp! After his arrest,Kremer was extradited to Poland,and he became one of the defendants in the Auschwitz Trial held in Cracow in November and December 1947.During his pre-trial interrogation Kremer was asked to explain the various entries of his diary.On August 18,1947,he stated that "by September 2,1942,at 3 a.m.I had already been assigned to take part in the action[s] of gassing people." Mass murders took place in small [ex-farmworkers] cottages situated outside the Birkenau camp in a wood.The cottages were called "[gassing] bunkers " in the SS--men's slang. I was brought there by car.I sat in front with the driver and an SS hospital orderly sat in the back of the car with oxygen [revival] apparatus to revive SS-men,employed in the gassing, in case any of them should succumb [by accident] to the poisonous fumes.When the [rail] transport with people who were destined to be gassed arrived at the ramp,the SS officers selected from among the new arrivals persons fit to work,while the rest deemed unfit to work were loaded onto lorries and driven to the gas chambers.I used to follow behind the transport till we reached the [gassing] bunker.These people were undressed and then went naked to the gas chambers.Very often no incidents occurred,as the SS-men kept the people quiet, by maintaining that they were to bathe and be deloused.After driving all of them into the gas chamber the door was closed and an SS-man in a gas mask threw the contents of a Cyclon tin [highly poisonous cyanide pellets] through an opening in the side wall.The shouting and screaming of the victims could be heard through that opening and it was clear that they were fighting for their lives.These shouts were heard for a very short while.I should say for some minutes,but I am unable to give the exact length of time. C Stob carolstob@wwc.com March 18, 2007 Its worth remembering that in the period 1820- 1970, most cities had dozens of small music halls, many attached to pubs and taverns. The most popular acts were the stand up and tell jokes comedians. The reason I am mentioning this is because these comedians loved to tell anti Jewish jokes, k/as Abie and Hymie tales which were highly untrue - but sounded true. Meanwhile in the 1930 film industry they portrayed black people in lowly positions such as maids, sweepers up, shoe shine boys and train conductors, for instance a leading part for a black man in a film would be the dice thrower in a craps game. Whats happening is the Holocaust brought racism into the public arena, it made people aware that it was hateful and unfair, and we are seeing a miracle happen, racists are being booed, shouted down, and run out of town, and employers and workers are starting to respect unwritten good behaviour codes and each other. This site and the various Holocaust Museums are doing a great deal of educational good, and its a blessing. We will always have racists and the battle is to make them a despised minority and not the other way about.

These unpublished letters written by Speer to Jeanty between 1971-1981 are being offered for sale by Bonhams, a London firm of auctioneers. * Albert Speer was tried at the Nuremberg International War Crimes Trial. It was fairly obvious to the Judges that he was guilty of complicity in war crimes involving the hiring and welfare of over 1 million slave labourers, but, unlike the other defendants he admitted full responsibilty for his sins, he explained how this role was thrust upon him by his friendship with Hitler, and how he wrestled with his conciense over the role he played. He made such an excellent impression on the Judges that he was given 20 years imprisonment, which he served. Putting all sentiment to one side he should have been hung with the rest. This man saw the watery potato and cabbage soup these slaves were fed on, one bowl per day, he saw there skeleton figures, and must have seen the daily death toll camp figures. He must have visited Dora Arms camp, were if you survived 3 months you were spoken of with great awe by the guards, yet, he did nothing. No shoes for prisoners, no filling meals or extra food, no beds or bedding, and no medical treatment - if you became ill you were shot or injected with phenol. That was Speer. A common war criminal, a slave driver who lorded it over one million UNPAID slave workers. Tom Sperry sperbros@cct.com March 9, 2007 i am doing a project on the holocaust and i feel that what hitler did was the most horrific, evil and inhuman act that I have ever heard/read about. I always wonder why he did it but can't seem to find an answer. Hatred is NOT an excuse for this evil man who deserved to die. I'm glad he did it himself. I am also glad to know that not a germans were part f this act. I have decided to only hate Hitler and not every german that walks the earth. courtney aduykers@hotmail.com March 8, 2007 I just want to thank every one of you for your time. I think this project is very important and I was deeply moved. sarah newboxcrayons@yahoo.com March 8, 2007 A good name for Hitler would be General Misery, for Goering - General Hysteria, for Goebells, General Whitewash, and for Himmler - General Starvation. Arnold Goodman Arnie444@aol.com March 7, 2007 Well I must say that i was looking quite hard for an informitive web site because of the school work i am working on after comming across this website im am glad to say that i have found everything i was loking for on this site thank you very much Eva Maze Copperas Cove Texas Eva Maze EvilBopper@yahoo.com March 6, 2007 Following is the Hitler quote from Mein Kampf. Please note that he does not espouse using a big lie. He is in fact, stating his belief that Jews were the ones doing so. Try and get your facts right. "It required the whole bottomless falsehood of the Jews and their Marxist fighting organization to lay the blame for the collapse on that very man who alone, with superhuman energy and will power, tried to prevent the catastrophe he foresaw and save the nation from its time of deepest humiliation and disgrace. By branding Ludendorff as guilty for the loss of the World War, they took the weapon of moral right from the one dangerous accuser who could have risen against the traitors to the fatherland. In this they proceeded on the sound principle that the magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads, and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others; yes, even when enlightened on the subject, they will long doubt and waver, and continue to accept at least one of these causes as true. Therefore, something of even the most insolent lie will always remain and stick- a fact which all the great lie-virtuosi and lying-clubs in this world know only too well and also make the most treacherous use of. The foremost connoisseurs of this truth regarding the possibilities in the use of falsehood and slander have always been the Jews; for after all, their whole existence is based on one single great lie, to wit, that they are a religious community while actually they are a race-and what a race! One of the greatest minds of humanity [Schopenhauer] has nailed them forever as such in an eternally correct phrase of fundamental truth: he called them "the great masters of the lie." And anyone who does not recognize this or does not want to believe it will never in this world be able to help the truth to victory. (Mein Kampf, Sentry edition, pp231-232.)" March 3, 2007 lora flanigan March 2, 2007 mary brown mabrown@saisd.net March 2, 2007 Ashley N Julius ashley brownluv210 March 2, 2007 Looking for information about relatives of my grandfather Moshe Yitzchok Danziger (Michael) born in 1921 in Kaluszyn. He is the son of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Danziger born in 1895 in Dubienca, married to Chava Ajler from Dubienca born in 1900. His grandparents were Jacob and Yenta (Gailor) Danziger, they had 10 sons. They also had family in Tyszowce. His maternal grandparents were Leibush and Lea (Zoner) Ajler. Jacqueline Morginstin (Danziger) Jamyak@aol.com March 1, 2007 I was feeding two dogs, I put down two bowls of food both identical for them to eat, whilst they were eating one dog was constantly watching the other to see if he had more food than him. This dog was gulping his food down real fast so that the other dog couldn't steal it from him, yet when he had emptied his bowl he ran over to the other dogs bowl, shoved him to one side and commenced eating his food. If this dog was human he'be be anti-semitic. It's my opinion that anti-semitism is a mixture of greed, fear and suspicion, and just like the dog mentioned above - antisemites presume that Jews have more food than them, or perhaps Jews might steal their food. Yet if they themselves steal someones else food then thats okay. Anti-semitism sure does tell us a lot more about the anti-semite than it does about Jews. Jonas R Warrison JWfarmcrops@ntlo.com February 28, 2007 So, good site, you work is very important. Good luck ! Gary Gary.L.Curry@pookmail.com http://rpm.freehostia.com/bag-photo-tote.html February 27, 2007 Racism: I have held the theory for the last 35 years that all white people are the lineal descendents of White Albino Africans, who were thrown out of the tribe because they were white skinned, freaky looking and considered unlucky to have around. These very few in number white coloured albino person/s, inter-bred and they wandered off from Central Africa going north in search of food and free grazing rights and ended up in the Mediterranean area which we know today as Egypt and Persia. I have said for years that all white people are descended from black African, light skinned Albinos. I’ve called our two basic white Albino forefathers / mothers, “Israel and Sarah”. For what it’s worth this theory is supported today by DNA evidence. I claim credit for this theory which I worked out some 35 years ago. Another theory I have is that all Jews are racially descended from Armenians, and they are the European descendents of tribe’s people from Armenia and Bulgaria. I claim no credit for this theory because many others have said the same thing. What needs to be said is that we are all related, and even though I am white and English, never the less I am related to Joe Louis, Martin Luther King, David Ben Gurion Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Queen Victoria, Queen Juliana, The Tsar of Russia and YOU.

When I watch the tv news ( only ever 3% to 5% truth of what is ACTUALY going on today in world )I see USA , ISREAL and UK are still the top Nazi organisations today , ISREAL actualy outclass all other nations for acts of what can only be described as Nazi war crimes today and genocide ( ethnic cleansing ) So I can only say SEIGE HEIL ISREAL. To think the term NewWorld Order is considered Fascist is laughable ,in UK COLLEGE books its actualy openly called > NEW GLOBAL ORDER < far out huh. the truth is out there but stamped on by global media :o)) Richard Roy richard.roy3@ntlworld.com http://www.ntlworld.com/ February 24, 2007 I keep finding these sites looking for my family surname BISCHOFF.

He's English, yet he does not mention the Luftwaffe Bombing raids on England or the British Isles. I was born premature, my Mother and family had to run to the air-raid shelters night afer night, these were primitive brick huts often built 3 foot down into the ground, they were cold, damp and in winter dreadful places to be in. One night my Mother took a chance and left me to sleep in my baby-cot. Our house was bombed along with many others, 11 were killed that night, and I was dug out still sound asleep. I know this is not an atrocity, nor is it considered a crime, but one needs to ask is David Irving [my so called compatriot] does he not owe me, and my family and many other Brits an apology for siding with our Nations enemies. This man is a traitor and a pre-war collaborator, in 1945 he would have been hung for his utterings. Without Revisionism he would be a nobody. Jon Williams JW.dot..@ntlworld.com February 21, 2007 DAVID IRVING AND THE HOLOCAUST The following are the ONLY mentions of the Holocaust in the book by David Irving's "Hitler's War": Travelling around the world I have found that it has split the community of academic historians from top to bottom, particularly in the controversy around ‘the Holocaust.’ viii Nevertheless one wonders how much suffering might have been spared if both sides had pursued the negotiations – might all that happened after 1940, the saturation bombing, the population movements, the epidemics, even the Holocaust itself, have been avoided? xxx Historians have searched, and will search, in vain for a clear directive for what has been called since the early 1970s ‘the Holocaust.’ 458 Since the holocaust of Dresden, British night bomber forces had cascaded incendiaries and explosives into Chemnitz, Duisburg, Worms, Kassel, and ancient Würzburg. 796 an allusion to our offer of a reward for any wartime document showing that Hitler was aware of, or ordered, the Holocaust. 888 ‘Despite a half century of research, no single document has provided evidence that the Nazi leader gave a written order for the Holocaust.’ 888 Trying to cast doubts on the Holocaust itself, writing it between quotation marks, as one does with doubtful things, comparing it with the Dresden bombing by using the same word, as if the random and unintended deaths of 30.000 o even 100.000 civilians (like in the Blitz over England by the Germans) could be reasonably compared with the six million Jews deliberately and systematically murdered during the war, Irving shows his callous and biased views. Let's see what Hitler wrote in "Mein Kampf": "On putting the probing knife carefully to that kind of abscess one immediately discovered, like a maggot in a putrescent body, a little Jew who was often blinded by the sudden light. ................. I do not know what amazed me the more--the abundance of their verbiage or the artful way in which they dressed up their falsehoods. I gradually came to hate them. ................ This knowledge was the occasion of the greatest inner revolution that I had yet experienced. From being a soft- hearted cosmopolitan I became an out-and-out anti-Semite. ............... There is no such thing as coming to an understanding with the Jews. It must be the hard-and-fast 'Either-Or.' ............... I am certain that this will be easier for us than it was for our fathers. The scream of the twelve-inch shrapnel is more penetrating than the hiss from a thousand Jewish newspaper vipers. Therefore let them go on with their hissing. ................ He will stop at nothing. His utterly low-down conduct is so appalling that one really cannot be surprised if in the imagination of our people the Jew is pictured as the incarnation of Satan and the symbol of evil. ................ For a fight it will have to be, since the first objective will not be to build up the idea of the People's State but rather to wipe out the Jewish State which is now in existence. ................ Therefore the Jew follows his destined road until he is opposed by a force superior to him. And then a desperate struggle takes place to send back to Lucifer him who would assault the heavens". Sending the Jews "back to Lucifer"? Can there be a more clear written definition of Hitler's intentions towards the Jews he hated so much? Irving gets even to the point of predicting, like a modern Nostradamus, that "Historians have searched, and will search in vain, for a clear directive for what has been called since the early 1970s ‘the Holocaust.’ ", thus betraying his own secret hope which he transforms into a ridiculous and spurious assertion. Irving's perverse denials and admiration for the Führer and his nazi thugs should deny him any credibilty when dealing with these topics. [ As a matter of fact, if this revisionist neo-nazi ex-convict were an honest man, I would take him up on his promise of paying 1,000 pounds for proof of Hitler's personal responsibility for the Holocaust, which the last above quotation of Mein Kampf should earn me, but of course, somehow he would wiggle out of that one as well, maybe like the one of the 'maggots' his Führer wrote about? ] :-) Martin Martin martsego@yahoo.com.ar February 20, 2007 Hi, The events in the world this week have been tragic. I live in Portland OR and two violinists from Austria who play for the Eugene, OR symphony were killed by a drunk hit and run young, female driver. I don't know what the violinists did to bring on the wrath of heaven & hell. Then, on Saturday the evil collaborator French Nazi died in his sleep at 96. Following this, it was announced that documents were found to support the claim that Otto Frank had secured VISAs for his family as far as Cuba when the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor and the VISAs were rescinded. Had the Frank family gotten to Cuba and on to the U.S., Anne Frank could still be alive and writing. She would be 77. Ah, but Anne Frank is alive and she is fighting good & evil in the celestrial heavens. Sadly, two innocent angels were collateral damage, the violinists, 1st and 2nd chair in the Eugene OR symphony, until Anne's spirit killed the Nazi collaborator. I am sorry for my craziness, but we must never forget and we must impart this on our children. Thank you, Anne Clare Moser Kornfeld Gresham, OR 2/20/2007 Anne Kornfeld Anne_Clare1966@yahoo.com February 20, 2007 Hitlers Germany was the only place in the world were you could be arrested without having committed a crime, then sent without trial to a prison in which you would witness mass-murder, shootings, robbery of prisoners and torture as part of the daily prison routine, and if you escaped and fled into the night, you could not go to the Police or the Church to complain, or find any official help whatsoever. Whats amazing is years later someone will tell you in all seriousness that " he did a lot of good for Germany and built the autobahns". No one ever mentions the 5 million fine young German [boy] troops he killed, or the beautiful cities left in ruins and Idi Amin, Pol Pot and Papa Doc are more reviled. You only need to study Hitlers eyes and eye movements to see he wasn't sane and was some lunatic actor. Elliot Bransby ebbransby@aol.com February 20, 2007 Having fled from Vienna in late 1938 I fear the recurrence of genocides wherever they may be and against whomever they may be directed. The holocaust--as far as I am concerned--was different only because of its bureaucratization and of the up to date technology used. The glorification of inhumanity and the upside down ethics which permitted this are, I believe, in part a revolt against Kantian rationalism and a part of German Romanticism. It can occur anywhere and victim and perpetrator are at times interchangeable. All of us, I believe, carry within us the capacity for horrendous evil and the doing of great good. Only by realization of this can we be safe. To demonize the Nazis is at times a fatal error--these were not demons; they were "ordinary men" who by circumstance optimized their evil capacity and subdued compassion and humanitarianism Dr. Erich H.

The older I am getting, the more interested in history in general I am getting (wish I paid more attention at school). You guys have provided some great information and essays, and have given me a whole new perspective on the pain and suffering caused to so many people. I still can't believe it happened less than 100 years ago. God Bless the survivors, and the ones who were not so lucky. I'm sure they are in better places than those who caused the suffering.

This is a very important part of world history, and everyone needs to know what happend to these people. samantha westsamantha@bellsouth.net February 12, 2007 I am not Jewish, but unexplainably I do look like a Jewish person? I was baptised and went to a traditional Christian Church school. With looking Jewish [but not] I have been subject to occasional bouts of anti-semitism. The worst was in 1963, I started work with a large corporation and one of the new employees [we both started on the same day]decided I was a Jew, and because I was a Jew that I didn't belong, strange to say this poisonous person soon built up a clique of others "who shared his views". Whats intersting is that all the arguments and views he held must have been at least 300 years old, and were not original to him. Who knows were he got these strange ideas from? After about 5 months I left, quite frankly I'd had enough of anti-semitism. Rightly or wrongly I never ever told him I was not Jewish. I knew he was a fool and was enjoying my private joke at his expense. I do have a big-nose [so do millions of others- ask any plastic surgeon] and I am rather fond of it. And I do look Jewish and am proud of that fact also, but I'm a Christian. I reckon over one billion people in the world look Jewish - but aren't. And over one million Jews look like christians. So racial arguments must be wrong, or need to be revised. Robert Brown RBFlowersFarm@ntlworld.com February 12, 2007 very nice site pls keep it up for others to view.

Partly because I have great fear that we as a society should remember and not forget, also because we maybe going down a route of intolerence towards the muslim communities. For instance the trying to get an order of law to 'lock up terrorists?' without any form of arrest or trail for 90 days! We did not do it for the Irish terrorists over 30 years, so what is the difference now. Is it the slippery slope of them and us? veronica brett veronicabrett43@hotmail.com February 7, 2007 Hi.

The Germans did not keep names and addresses of those who were executed immediately after arrival at the major concentration camps. They were gassed within 4 hours after arrival and no records were kept. Detainees who were admitted to the camps had their personal details recorded. Some were photographed and most were given I.D tattoo numbers on their forearms. An incomplete record of camp prisoners and victims traced to date is held at The Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Israel. The Yas Vashem website contains details of those traced. Reply to Matilda who asks for a list of all the concentration camps. There was over 3000 camps, most were labour camps - providing slave labourers to local business concerns. You then had civilian detention camps like Dachau, Mauthausen and Buchenwald. Camps that ruthlessly exterminated prisoners are Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, Sorbibor and Maidjanek. One needs to remember that the ghettos were walled prisons built inside major cities. Belzec and Treblinka were the worst of all the major camps to be sent to, and in a perverse way Auschwitz the best, this was because there was a chance of being sent for forced labour elsewhere. There is a list of all the camps and their locations, a search engine might give you all the names.

Its perfect for my project! Devon Noelle January 13, 2007 Jamie McCarthy wrote in 1994: I mean, those guys must have been productive! Draftspeople to forge plans for the buildings, chemists to decide how the Nazis would have done the killing, authors to write fake diaries of the Sonderkommando and bury them at Auschwitz (to remain undiscovered for decades) ... voice talent and audio engineers to forge Himmler's hours-long Poznan speeches, writers to decide who would have written what memos to whom, and the typists -- good heavens, can you imagine the number of typists the whole Operation Jewish Forgery would have required!? They literally had to forge the entire workings of a small but significant part of the German government for four or five years. Right down to the endless pages detailing which military groups took which positions and how many Jews they killed, rows and rows of small numbers, tabulated, formulated. They must have intercepted the actual routes that the Einsatzgruppen took, figured out which prisoners they took, forged documents saying that they'd executed all the Jews, and then inserted the forgeries into the appropriate places. Wow. That's a lot of work. Hundreds of Einsatzgruppen reports to forge. And that's just the Einsatzgruppen, that's just a million or so murders to report. Multiply that times ten, that's the scale we're talking. The above parody of how much effort and cooperation documenting and fabricating a Holocaust hoax would involve is ironic, as the true weakness of the Holocaust myth is the tremendous amount of manpower and resources Germany would have had to devote to the extermination of over 10 million civilians. Manpower and resources previously assigned to the war effort. Hoax? What revisionist calls the Holocaust a hoax? The Holocaust has become a time in history aggrandized for monetary and political gain. An event now fortified by exaggerations and lies. An monolithic urban legend in progress supported by many hundreds of outrageous individual urban legends. There was a Holocaust It did happen. But not as portrayed by Jamie McCarthy and others who now profit from it. Michael January 12, 2007 Great site and remarkable work. Thank you. michel cahier sbofni@yahoo.com htpp://schikelgruber.net/ January 11, 2007 In 1955, the German Federal Government decided that all Concentration Camp War Criminals executed by the Allies had to be reclassified as "Honourable Men and Women, who were overcome by the uncertainties of War". The article I was reading mentioned that in 1992 David Irving [A Revisionist] found in the British Record Office a long forgotten pre-trial statment by a Auschwitz Camp Official called Aumeier [who was extradited to Poland to stand trial in the Auschwitz-Trial, he was condemned to death and executed in 1948] It says that Irving kept this War Criminals statement secret because its chilling disclosures ran contrary to what Irving had said, or had falsely claimed. Eliabeth Brom bromberg@aol.co.uk January 11, 2007 Hi there and Shalom, Just on a whim after Shabbat was over I thought I would see what google would produce if i entered my legal name. Your site came up almost first. I am astonished by Ha shem above that i would find a man with the same name standing for truth in this dark world. Bless you my brother and friend. I hope to meet you some time and in the meantime........ keep the vision alive Am Israel Chai!!!! Richard J Green yosephrepents@hotmail.com January 6, 2007 A campaign to challenge Iranian Holocaust denial had been launched at http://www.iranholocaustdenial.com. Brian brian.cook167@googlemail.com http://www.iranholocaustdenial.com January 4, 2007 i loved it so much Scott Reynolds January 3, 2007 For many years I have privately wondered if the Jewish sect k/as the Lubavitch were in a *minor way* responsible for the increase of anti-semitism in 1850 to 1939?. Rightly or wrongly perhaps I thought [and I still think] that maybe their long beards, their black garb, their fur trimmed hats and outdated suits, collectively conjured up the wrong image for modern Jews living in Germany, Austria and Poland. Wrong in the sense that it didn't look right somehow to many Jews and non Jews who saw them in the street? Some writers at the time even described them as crows or crow-like. Yet, to me the Lubavitch closely resemble the Amish People of Pennsylvania USA. Whats curious is that the Amish are respected and sort-of-admired by many, yet, their almost identical counterparts the Jewish Lubavitch are not. I find it a fascinating subject that the Lubavitch even today look odd and are often cold shouldered by many -especially non-Jews, but the Amish are not. The only explanation I can give is irrational anti-semitism, but whether this is correct or not, I don't know? This topic would be a good one for some school or school student to pursue.
