<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few days ago I received several e-mails from a group that says it didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

To the RePorter NoteBook:<\/p>\n

Your insinuations and assertions that the Holocaust\u00a0never happened\u00a0are preposterous and insulting, and your general explanation of how the ruse was pulled off is pitiful:\u00a0Americans\u00a0in the conquered West and Russians\u00a0in the occupied East lied about the hell they found.\u00a0 Did they also fabricate the mountains of bones and corpses?\u00a0 Did they magically create countless eyewitnesses,\u00a0some of whom still live to help us remember?\u00a0 You have an astonishingly convenient explanation about that, don’t you?\u00a0\u00a0Yes, you say,\u00a0the trove of writing done\u00a0by and about the victims is usually ghostwritten, the work of novelists and other fabulists.\u00a0\u00a0That’s a deception Joseph Goebbels could have crafted.\u00a0 Are you gazing at a portrait of his twisted face now?<\/p>\n

Loosen your jackboots and explain\u00a0your point\u00a0in gloating that\u00a0Dachau, Buchenwald, and Bergen-Belsen weren’t death camps.\u00a0 Technically,\u00a0they were concentration camps where\u00a0inmates were held in squalid conditions\u00a0that made\u00a0death by starvation\u00a0or disease almost inevitable.\u00a0 You\u2019re almost panting as you state that typhus and criminal inmates were responsible for many of the deaths there.\u00a0But don’t you understand? \u00a0Those were some of the fatal characteristics of concentration camps their\u00a0creators desired.\u00a0 Also, you really must\u00a0ask yourselves\u00a0why Jews and others were in the first place imprisoned in\u00a0concentration\u00a0camps and\u00a0death camps.\u00a0 There was no logical reason.\u00a0 The Holocaust was ignited by the\u00a0explicit racial policies of the\u00a0Hitler regime.\u00a0 Those policies, as perhaps even you know,\u00a0had piece by piece\u00a0stripped Jews of all rights.<\/p>\n

The six death camps – Auschwitz, Belsec, Sobibor, Maidanek, Treblinka, and Chelmno – were indeed in Poland, not Germany.\u00a0 And, despite your howls that proof is lacking, they were demonstrably in the business of mass murder.\u00a0 Rudolf Hoess, the Commandant of Auschwitz,\u00a0emphasized this\u00a0at his trial, and in his autobiography.\u00a0 He details his drive around the facility with\u00a0Adolf Eichmann, looking for good places to gas people.\u00a0 Then he describes how they decided Zyklon-B might be the best agent for human “rodent and pest control.”\u00a0 They crammed seven hundred Russian prisoners into an underground room and gave it a try, and when everyone quit moving,\u00a0the “Death Dealers” knew they were ready for the Jews.\u00a0 If you really are questioning documentation by\u00a0the condemned commandant, then you’re fools as well as racists.\u00a0 This information will perhaps help you with the\u00a0former problem: Heinrich\u00a0Himmler, the Reichsfuehrer SS, admitted the appalling scope of the crime\u00a0in a\u00a01943 speech to German political leaders, when he spoke of “eliminating those who wanted to exterminate us.”\u00a0 No one was trying to exterminate the Germans; let’s emphasize that German Jews had been\u00a0very patriotic, and would have continued to be\u00a0enormously helpful to their country.<\/p>\n

Finally, of course, we must most of all stress that Adolf Hitler himself not merely admitted but boasted,\u00a0in his last Testament, that mass murder had taken place.\u00a0 As always, he\u00a0regurgitated a litany of lies to excuse his policies, this time using\u00a0the hoary line about Germans being “treated as mere packages and\u00a0shares by these international money and finance conspirators\u00a0(who) would have to answer for it (and) suffer their due punishment, though in a more humane way.”\u00a0 Another ghostwritten document? \u00a0No, indeed.\u00a0 There\u00a0the disintegrating Fuehrer was, in his bunker Hades, surrounded by adoring minions who watched and carefully noted as he ranted about phantom enemies and proclaimed himself swell and righteous and brave for the way he’d handled things.<\/p>\n

Physical, written, and oral evidence of the Holocaust\u00a0are beyond overwhelming.\u00a0\u00a0Those who ignore, distort, and deny the undeniable\u00a0have a pathological urge to lie.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

I would hammer your flawed positions in greater detail but after spending twenty years researching and writing\u00a0\u201cHitler Here\u201d, my biographical novel, I’m exhausted\u00a0thinking about\u00a0fascists.\u00a0 I’ve always felt that contemporary fascist blowhards should be ignored since they’re more ridiculous than dangerous.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same here: the bile and bullshit you offer will never attract more than a handful of damaged souls, and you will all remain\u00a0buried in the morass of the hateful and absurd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
