Anti-Semitism is a shameful phenomenon. Actually, any oppression, and even more so the physical destruction of people on a national basis, is criminal, especially if it is initiated by the government and carried out on a national scale. History knows cases of mass genocide against representatives of different peoples. Hundreds of thousands of Armenians were destroyed by the Turks at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Not everyone knows how cruelly Japanese soldiers dealt with the Chinese during the occupation of Nanjing and Singapore in the late 30s. Mass executions were carried out during the war by the allies of Nazi Germany, the Croatian Ustaše. By historical standards, recently, in 1994, terrible purges along ethnic lines (Hutus were killed by Tutsis) shocked Rwanda.
But there is a people who have been subjected to the most intense ethnic persecution in the twentieth century, known as the Holocaust. Modern Germans cannot unequivocally explain why their grandfathers, who grew up under the influence of Goebbels' propaganda, exterminated the Jews. It is possible that the ancestors themselves would not have found a clear argument for their actions, but in the thirties and forties, in most cases, everything was clear and understandable for them.
Woe from the mind?
When asked why the Jews were exterminated in different countries (and this happened not only in Germany of the twentieth century, but also in other countries at different times), one can most often hear the answer from representatives of this people: “Out of envy!” This version of the assessment of tragic events has its own logic and truth. The Jewish people gave mankind many geniuses who shone in science, in art, and in other areas of human civilization. The ability to adapt, a traditionally active position, an active character, subtle and ironic humor, innate musicality, enterprise and other unconditionally positive qualities are characteristic of the nation that gave the world Einstein, Oistrakh, Marx, Botvinnik ... Yes, you can list for a long time who else. But, apparently, it's not just envy of outstanding mental abilities. After all, not all Jews are Einsteins. There are people among them and simpler. The sign of true wisdom is not its constant demonstration, but something else. For example, the ability to provide a friendly environment. Such that it would never occur to anyone to offend the representatives of this people. Not out of fear, but out of respect. Or even love.
Revolutionary money grab
People of different nationalities strive for power and wealth. Anyone who truly wants to taste these attributes of an earthly paradise is looking for ways to achieve his goal and sometimes finds them. Then other people (who can be conditionally called envious) have a desire to redistribute the benefits, in other words, take away the values from the rich and appropriate them, or at least share them equally (or fraternally, this is when the eldest has more). During pogroms and revolutions, successful owners of fortunes of different nationalities, from Zulu kings to Ukrainian high government officials, fall under the scrutiny. But why were the Jews exterminated in the first place in almost all cases of mass robbery? Maybe they have more money?
Aliens and xenophobes
Jews for historical reasons from ancient times until the middle of the twentieth century did not have their own state. They had to settle in different countries, kingdoms, states and move to new places in search of a better life. Some of the Jews were able to assimilate, merging into the indigenous ethnic group and dissolving into it without a trace. But the core of the nation still retained its identity, religion, language and other features that define national characteristics. In itself, this is a miracle, because xenophobia is inherent in one way or another in almost all indigenous ethnic groups. Otherness causes rejection and hostility, and they, in turn, greatly complicate life.
Knowing that the best reason for uniting the nation could be a common enemy, Hitler exterminated the Jews. Technically, it was simple, they were easy to recognize, they go to synagogues, keep kosher and Sabbath, dress differently and sometimes even speak with an accent. In addition, at the time the Nazis came to power, Jews did not have the opportunity to effectively resist violence, representing an almost ideal ethnically isolated and helpless victim. The desire for self-isolation, which determined the survival of the nation, once again worked as a bait for the rioters.
Hitler's "My Struggle"
Did the Germans know about Auschwitz and Buchenwald
After the defeat of Nazism, many Germans claimed they knew nothing about concentration camps, ghettos, high-performance crematorium ovens, and gigantic ditches filled with human bodies. They did not know about soap, and candles made from human fat, and other cases of "useful disposal" of the remains. Some of their neighbors simply disappeared somewhere, and the authorities did not hear about the atrocities committed in the occupied territories. The desire to disown responsibility for war crimes of ordinary soldiers and officers of the Wehrmacht is understandable; they pointed to the SS troops, which were mainly engaged in punitive operations. But there was also the “Kristallnacht” of 1938, during which not only attack aircraft in brown shirts acted, but also the most ordinary inhabitants. Representatives of the sentimental, talented and industrious German people with sweet ecstasy destroyed the property of their recent friends and neighbors, and they themselves were beaten and humiliated. So why did the Germans exterminate the Jews, what are the reasons for the sudden outbreak of fierce hatred? Were there any reasons?
Jews of the Weimar Republic
To understand the reasons why the Germans, their recent neighbors and friends exterminated the Jews, one should plunge into the atmosphere of the Weimar Republic. Many historical studies have been written about this period, and those who do not want to read scientific tomes have the opportunity to learn about it from the novels of the great writer E. M. Remarque. The country suffers from unbearable indemnities imposed by the Entente countries that won the Great War. Poverty borders on hunger, while the souls of its citizens are increasingly seized by various vices caused by forced idleness and the desire to somehow brighten up their gray beggarly life. But there are also successful people, businessmen, bankers, speculators. Entrepreneurship, due to centuries of nomadic life, is in the blood of the Jews. It was they who became the backbone of the business elite of the Weimar Republic, which existed from 1919 to There were, of course, poor Jews, craftsmen, working artisans, musicians and poets, artists and sculptors, and they made up the majority of the people. They basically became victims of the Holocaust, the rich managed to escape, they had money for tickets.
The Holocaust reached its peak during World War II. On the territory of occupied Poland, the “death factories”, Majdanek and Auschwitz immediately began to work. But the flywheel of mass murder on a national basis gained special momentum after the Wehrmacht invaded the USSR.
There were many Jews in the Leninist Politburo of the Bolshevik Party, they even made up the majority. By 1941, large-scale purges took place in the CPSU(b), as a result of which the national composition of the Kremlin leadership underwent significant changes. But at the grassroots (as they say, "on the ground") levels and in the organs of the NKVD, the Jewish Bolsheviks still retained quantitative dominance. Many of them had experience of the Civil War, their merits before the Soviet government were assessed as indisputable, they participated in other large-scale Bolshevik projects. Is it worth asking why Hitler exterminated Jews and commissars in the occupied Soviet territories in the first place? For the Nazis, these two concepts were practically identical and eventually merged into a single whole definition of "Jewish Commissar".
Anti-Semitism Vaccine
National hostility was inculcated gradually. Racial theory came to dominate almost immediately after the Nazis came to power. On the screens of cinemas appeared chronicles of ritual sacrifices, during which rabbis killed cows by cutting their throats with a sharp knife. and women are very beautiful, but the Nazi propagandists were not interested in such. For propaganda videos and posters, "walking manuals for anti-Semites" were specially chosen, with faces expressing brutal cruelty and stupidity. So the Germans became anti-Semites.
After the Victory, the commandant's offices of the victorious countries pursued a policy of denazification, and in all four occupation zones: Soviet, American, French and British. The inhabitants of the defeated Reich were actually forced (under the threat of deprivation of food rations) to watch revealing documentaries. This measure was aimed at leveling the consequences of twelve years of brainwashing of deceived Germans.
Himself like that!
Talking about geopolitics, preaching the ideals of the racial superiority of the Aryans and calling for the destruction of peoples, the Fuhrer nevertheless remained, paradoxically, an ordinary person who suffered from a number of psychological complexes. One of them was the question of one's own nationality. It is difficult to figure out why Hitler exterminated the Jews, but one of the clues may be the origin of his father, Alois Schicklgruber. The father of the future Fuhrer received the infamous surname only after an official statement of paternity, certified by three witnesses and made by Johann Georg Hitler in 1867, for reasons of inheritance.
Alois himself was married three times, and there is a version that one of his children from a previous marriage tried to blackmail the "leader of the German people" with information about the semi-Jewish origin of their common father. This hypothesis has a number of inconsistencies, but due to chronological remoteness it cannot be completely ruled out. But she can explain some of the subtleties of the morbid psyche of the demon-possessed Fuhrer. After all, an anti-Semitic Jew is not such a rare occurrence. And Hitler's appearance does not at all correspond to the racial standards adopted in the Third Reich. He was not a tall blue-eyed blond.
Occult and other causes
It is also possible to try to explain why Hitler exterminated the Jews from the standpoint of the ethical and philosophical base that he laid under the process of the physical destruction of millions of people. The Fuhrer was fond of occult theories, and his favorite authors were Guido von List and In general, the version of the origin of the Aryans and the ancient Germans turned out to be rather confused and contradictory, but with regard to the Jews, the policy was based on the mystical assumption that they, identified by Hitler as a separate race, supposedly represent danger to all mankind, threatening it with complete annihilation.
It is difficult to assume that an entire nation can be drawn into some kind of global conspiracy. With a multimillion-strong population, someone would surely blabbed about the inhumane plan, in which everyone participates, from the shoemaker Rabinovich to Professor Heller. There is no logically substantiated answer to the question of why the Nazis exterminated the Jews.
Military is committed when people refuse to think for themselves, relying on their leaders, and without a doubt, and sometimes with pleasure, carry out someone's evil will. Unfortunately, things like this still happen today...
The myth of the Holocaust. The bitter truth about the fate of the Jews in the Second World War, which brings billions of profits to the Jews.
I want to remind everyone.
In Russia, there is no article for denying the "Holocaust" ..
And in Russia it is real - FREEDOM OF SPEAKING!
Moreover, this book (Not banned in the Russian Federation, only some sites were closed) representative of the revisionist school of historians, the Swiss scholar Jürgen Graf, is not the first among works on this topic, but the most concise and at the same time the most informative - a kind of summary of the whole problem. Scholars belong to the revisionist school of historians who, on the basis of an analysis of documents and "evidence" of eyewitnesses, cast doubt on the allegations of the "Holocaust" - the extermination of 6 million Jews by the Nazis.
The author shows that with the help of the "Holocaust" myth, the world behind the scenes is trying to impose on world public opinion the idea that the Jewish people suffered more than all others during the war years, so other peoples are obliged to feel guilty, repent and pay compensation. The author comes to the conclusion that about 500 thousand Jews perished in the sphere of German domination. Exposing the lies of the "holocaust" could have devastating consequences not only for Zionism, but for the political and intellectual ruling caste of the world.

Briefly about the content:
The appearance of the term "holocaust" is by no means accidental.
This Greek word means the sacrifice of the ancient Jews, in which the victim was completely devoured by fire. As R. Garaudy explains, the term "Holocaust" "expresses the desire to commit crimes committed against the Jews, an exception in history, because suffering and death are given a sacred character".
"Martyrdom of the Jews, thus, becomes incomparable with any other: thanks to its sacrificial nature it is included in the divine plan as the crucifixion of Christ in Christian theology, marking the beginning of a new era." According to the rabbis, The establishment of the State of Israel is God's answer to the Holocaust".
“In order for the real martyrology of the Jews not to become “banal”, it is necessary, continues R. Garaudy, “not only to push everyone else into the background, including 27 million dead Soviet citizens and 9 million Germans, but also to give real suffering a sacral character ( under the name of "holocaust"), denying it to everyone else. hold on to the inflated number "6 million", although on the memorial plaque in memory of those killed in Auschwitz, the number "4 million" victims was already quietly replaced by one million. This alone reduces the notorious 6 million by half.
According to R. Garaudy, "without exaggeration, history itself can play the role of an accuser better than myth. First of all, it does not reduce the scale of actual crimes against humanity, which cost the lives of 50 million people(Not counting 18 to 90 million Chinese), to the pogrom of just one category of innocent victims, while millions died in arms fighting against this barbarism."
1. Extensive disappearance of Jews from many places of their former compact residence, which were under German control during the war; first of all from Poland, where by the beginning of the 1930s, as is recognized, over 3 million Jews lived, and now, according to official statistics, only a few tens of thousands. Where are these Jews now, if they have not been eradicated? - so the question is put.
Towards the end of our research we will deal with the demographic aspects of the issue under consideration, but for now we will limit ourselves to only one counterargument. In the areas east of the Oder and the Neisse at the end of World War II, about 16 million Germans lived. Now there are between 1 and 2 million left. Does this mean that the rest of the East Germans were exterminated? No, although many of them died in the process of eviction. Most still managed to go to the West and survive. Accordingly, the extensive disappearance of Jews from Poland is not proof that they were exterminated. They could evacuate from there, run away. Has this happened and to what extent? This, as said, we will deal with later.
2. There are allegedly countless witnesses. Those who are not privy to this question exclaim with conviction: "Perhaps individual witnesses are lying or exaggerating the horrors of the Holocaust, but that everyone should lie? It is unthinkable!"
This argument is based on pure misunderstanding. There are far fewer witnesses to the extermination of Jews in the gas chambers - and this is the main issue of the "holocaust" - than many people realize.
Whoever begins to read the recognized exemplary literature on the "Holocaust" will soon find that the same handful of witnesses appear throughout it: Gerstein, Hess, Brode, Vrba, Müller, Bendel, Feinzilberg, Dragon, Niezli and a few others. (And this is a FACT!)
And given that there is no forensic or documented proof of the murders in the gas chambers - and we will show this in the most detailed way - then it turns out that the entire history of the "Holocaust" is based on the testimony of less than two dozen key witnesses. The remaining "countless witnesses" do not even claim to be eyewitnesses; they heard about the gas chambers from second and third parties.
3. Photos and movies. Only one thing is indisputable, that there are genuine photographs of dead and emaciated living prisoners in German concentration camps, taken after their liberation by the Allied forces. But they are by no means proof of the systematic extermination of the Jews, since even the official point of view of historians is that these dead and dying are victims of epidemics that have spread widely in the last months of the war that have thrown everything into chaos.
However, there is undoubtedly something else here, that along with the genuine ones, there are rough fakes that have been stubbornly distributed for decades (photomontages, paintings that are passed off as photographs, etc.). Much credit for their exposure belongs to Udo Valendi. All such forgeries speak neither for nor against the "holocaust", but they arouse distrust in us. Well, why, one wonders, resort to such a primitive fraud, if there is a mass of irrefutable evidence of the existence of gas chambers and the extermination of Jews?
Argument: I myself saw it in the movies, on television! - able to impress a very simple, trusting soul. All films about the extermination of Jews - "The Holocaust", "Shoah", "Schindler's List" - appeared many years after the end of the war and therefore, of course, do not have any probative force. It is no coincidence that Schindler's List was filmed in black and white. In this way, the filmmakers are trying to give the uneducated viewer the impression that this is a documentary.
I. Lies about the "gas chambers" and the extermination of the Jews
What has mankind believed since 1945?
In the middle of the 20th century, in the heart of Europe, the Germans secretly killed from 5 to 6 million Jewish men, women and children for three years (from autumn 1941 to autumn 1944), secretly from the whole world. At the heart of such an extermination of an entire people lay a diabolical plan carefully thought out by the National Socialist government. Most of the victims - according to various historians, from 2 to 5 million or more were destroyed in a previously unknown way, namely in gas chambers and in "gas wagons" - special cars, with the help of exhaust gases. The massacre was carried out in six death camps located on the territory of Poland: in Auschwitz, Majdanek, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka and Chełmno. In the last of these camps, gas cars were used as murder weapons, in five others, stationary gas chambers.
Auschwitz and Majdanek were combined labor and extermination camps. Jews capable of work were selected here for forced labor, and those who were unable to work were sent immediately, without registration, to the gas chamber.
As for Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec and Chełmno, they were pure death factories, where, with the exception of a handful of Jews who served the camp, they were all gassed without delay, without registration. The corpses of the dead were burned to the ground - some in crematoria, others in the open air. In addition to the indicated number, the Germans also destroyed from 1 to 2 million Jews in Russia with the help of gas cars and executions. The killings there were carried out by special troops, consisting of only killers - the so-called "Einsatz teams".
One should also take into account the half million, or even more, Jews who died in the ghettos and labor camps from ill-treatment, disease, and malnutrition. Although they are included in the total number of 6 million, their death was not the result of a deliberate policy of extermination. They cannot be called direct victims of the "holocaust", but they are, for simplicity, ranked among them.
From a moral point of view, the "holocaust" - half a century of media around the world has been hammering in - cannot be compared with any atrocity of the past. The Germans went to the “holocaust” not because the Jews posed any real or potential danger to them, but only because the Jews were Jews. Thus, out of pure racial hatred, the Germans, as the accusation says, exterminated an entire people. Because of racial hatred, they killed not only able-bodied men, but also the elderly, and women, and children, even babies. Only because they were called Jews.
IV. What really happened?
Before we turn to the evidence of the "holocaust" - which, we repeat, is understood as the purposeful mass extermination of Jews with the help of gas - it is necessary to describe in general terms what undeniably happened to the Jews in the Third Reich.
The Jewish policy of the NSDAP was from the very beginning aimed at constantly reducing the influence of Jews in Germany and forcing most of them to leave the country. The first goal was served by a number of decrees and laws adopted starting from 1933, which, with the help of high quotas, limited the number of Jews among lawyers, doctors, etc., and also narrowed the economic and political rights of Jews. At least until 1938, this process proceeded without the use of violence; before Kristallnacht, not a single Jew was sent to the camp for being a Jew. He could get there only if he manifested himself as a military-political opponent of the regime, or committed a criminal offense.
In order to set in motion the mechanism of Jewish emigration, the Nazis worked closely with Zionist organizations interested in the departure of as many Jews as possible to Palestine. This historical phenomenon - a joint Nazi-Zionist work - has been carefully documented and researched. The results of these studies have been published by many authors. They, as far as we know, are not disputed by anyone.
The British prevented the resettlement of Jews in Palestine, and therefore it went very slowly; many of the German Jews chose other countries for resettlement, most often the United States. Although, it must be said that there, too, obstacles were constantly erected on the path of Jewish emigration.
By 1941, the vast majority of German and Austrian Jews were in exile. In the same year, the deportation of Jews to labor camps and ghettos began. The reason for this was: firstly, the lack of German labor, since most of the men were sent to the front; secondly, the Jews began to pose a definite threat to the Nazi state.
The Jew Arno Lustiger, a fighter of the then Resistance who survived many camps, proudly reports that in France, 15% of the operations carried out by the Resistance are carried out by Jews. Jews then made up less than 1% of the population of France.
The communist Zionist organization "Red Chapel", which caused great damage to the German army, was mainly composed of Jews.
It should be noted that in other countries suspicious national minorities were interned for incomparably lesser grounds. For example, in the United States, many Japanese, even those who had an American passport, were sent to camps (which the Americans themselves do not like to remember too much now). At the same time, as Ronald Reagan later admitted, there was not a single case of espionage or sabotage by the Japanese Americans.
In the countries occupied by Germany, Jews suffered from deportation far from equally. They were treated especially harshly in Holland, from where about two-thirds of them were taken out. From France, on the contrary, as Serge Klarsfeld testifies, 75,721 Jews were deported, which corresponded to about 20% of the Jewish population of France; but even from that number, many were deported not because of their faith and race, but because they participated in the Resistance or violated various regulations and laws. In such cases, non-Jews were often deported as well. A small part of the Jews were deported in Belgium.
There was an alarmingly high death rate in the camps, mainly due to disease. Typhus, carried by lice, especially mowed down people. To combat it, they began to use the insecticide "Cyclone-B".
In Auschwitz, the largest concentration camp, typhus was especially rampant in the late summer and autumn of 1942. The epidemic peaked between September 7 and 11, when an average of 375 prisoners died daily. By January, the death rate had dropped to 107 people. per day, and by March rose again to 298.
In the Western camps, the situation became especially disastrous in the last months of the war, when tens of thousands of people died. Allied bombing completely destroyed infrastructure, destroyed food and medicine depots. In the camps, the need became critical in everything: food, medicine, barracks. Chuck Jaeger, the famous American pilot who was the first to break the sound barrier, writes in his memoirs that his squadron was ordered to attack everything that moves.
“Germany,” he writes, “was not so easy to divide into innocent civilians and the military. For example, a peasant fed the German army from his potato field.”
In this way, the allies purposefully, with the help of a terrible war waged from the air, caused a total famine, and then hypocritically assumed the role of judges over the vanquished, began to judge them because they were poorly fed in concentration camps.
The British troops found themselves in a particularly terrible situation in April 1945 in Bergen-Belsen, where they faced thousands of unburied corpses and "living skeletons". Propaganda still uses the photographs taken there as proof of the existence of the "holocaust". However, the facts say otherwise.
The camp commandant, Josef Kramer, protested with all his might against the sending of new prisoners to the hopelessly overcrowded camp, but to no avail. Instead of simply leaving the internees in the eastern camps to the Soviets, the Nazis evacuated them to the West and distributed them to the camps that existed there, so that not a single soldier or labor force would fall into the hands of the Red Army.
Transports on the way were constantly bombed, the evacuation often lasted for weeks, and many prisoners found their death in that cruel winter. In the camps where those who had endured the journey arrived, the situation became more and more dramatic every day.
Kramer's protests went unheeded. Meanwhile, typhus and dysentery were rampant in Belsen, and food was becoming scarce. What should Cramer do?
Release the prisoners? But who would feed them in freedom? And epidemics would spread to the civilian population. Should he, along with the political ones, release the criminals as well, so that they would terrorize the population? I must say that he himself had the opportunity to escape to South America, and even taking with him the camp cash desk. But he didn't; he trusted the British nobility and paid dearly for it. He was stigmatized by the press as the "Belsen Beast" and sentenced to death by a judicial farce.
Also in other camps, the vast majority of casualties occur at the end of the war. In Dachau, 15,389 people died between January and April 1945, and 12,060 during the rest of the war.
The tragic situation in the camps was an inevitable consequence of the collapse of Germany, and it had nothing to do with planned genocide, which cannot be said about the Allied bomb war against the civilian population of Germany (and Japan). In Dresden alone, 250,000 people were killed. Yes, 8 times more people were killed there in one night than in Dachau during the entire war, and at the same time in the most terrible way.
Jews, of course, also died outside the camps. According to Jewish sources, 43,411 people died in the Lodz ghetto from autumn 1939 to autumn 1944. In the Warsaw ghetto, before the uprising (spring 1943), 26,950 deaths were recorded. Some of the people, of course, died of natural causes, but the majority - as a result of hostilities and evacuations.
Bottom line: the Jews suffered heavily during the Second World War, they suffered great human losses.
However, there are no wars where people do not suffer, people do not die. In Dresden, 250 thousand people died a terrible death in one night - burned down, were buried under the ruins; in Leningrad, hundreds of thousands of Russians died of starvation; 180 thousand people died during the suppression of the Warsaw uprising. Not only concentration camp prisoners suffered hard, but also Russian and German soldiers on the fronts. So does the suffering of the Jews really greatly exceed the percentage of the losses of other peoples? We will now deal with the answer to these questions.
Y. Mukhin
A couple of years ago, about the creation of an electronic version of my book "Katyn Detective", a Swedish independent journalist met with me. From him I first heard that there are people who call themselves "revisionists" who are trying to prove that Nazi Germany did not exterminate the Jews. Frankly, then it seemed to me such nonsense that I simply turned the conversation to another topic. And subsequently, the suggestions of some readers to revise the Holocaust - the extermination of the Jews in World War II - did not arouse my enthusiasm. Why?
About eight years old I was sent for the summer to my uncle in a village near Krivoy Rog. My uncle was disabled and worked on a collective farm as a driver of a postal wagon (bedarki). Every day he went on it to the regional center for mail. Boredom and I with him several times asked for a trip lasting all day. Once he showed me with a whip in the field and said that in that place the Germans shot so many Jews that when the peasants came to look and stepped on the ground of fresh graves, the footprints filled with blood. Of course, it was hyperbole, but I think that it was she who made me remember this fact for the rest of my life. I didn’t know who the Jews were, but when we took the horse to the pond in the middle of the road to get drunk, its hooves pressed through the muddy bank, the tracks filled with water, and I clearly imagined how they could fill with blood. If there had been no execution of Jews, then why would my uncle tell me, a young boy, about this?
After all, we are residents of the USSR, we don’t even need to read books about the extermination of Jews by the Germans. We have so many eyewitnesses that even if you do not want to know about it, you will still find out, and not even from the Jews. In fact, even in the mail of our newspaper, newspapers are clearly not for fanatics, 30 percent of letters are from people obsessed with some idea, and among them 10 percent are clearly mentally deranged. Yes, and among politicians such in bulk. Let's say Gaidar completely ruined the Russian economy, but look at the way he gives interviews. As if a real economist is a friend of Napoleon. What is Novodvorskaya worth?
Therefore, I was not surprised at the appearance of the fact of revisionism: what else was the world supposed to expect after the complete victory of Zionism in almost the entire world?
But not so long ago, I nevertheless bought a thin book (I bought it precisely because it is thin) by Jurgen Graf "The Myth of the Holocaust" and realized that I was too self-confident in this matter. The question turns out to be much more difficult.
What do they want
The revisionists are not trying to prove to the world that Jews were not persecuted in Nazi Germany or that there were no casualties among them during the war. They are trying to draw the attention of the world to the fact that the Nazis did not deliberately destroy Jews as a nation, did not pursue a policy of genocide of Jews as such.
The revisionists have more than enough evidence for this. I will not even mention them, especially since, depending on the personal experience of readers, certain facts may seem more or less convincing. It turned out to be enough for me when Yu. Graf poked my nose into the fact that the furnaces in the crematoria of the German camps were muffle, and the notorious Zyklon-B gas is an insecticide (insect poison) and is released from the granules within 2 hours. Those readers who are familiar with chemistry and heat engineering by hearsay may not say anything, but I, who know what a muffle is and worked in a gas hazardous production, do not need anything else. I’m even offended - how did I not pay attention to the stupidity of this “Cyclone-B” before ?!
There was no killing of Jews in the gas chambers of the Nazi camps, as there were no gas chambers themselves. And those readers who want to get acquainted with the proofs of this for themselves, I refer to the book by Yu. Graf.
How many Jews died
Since there was no genocide of Jews (there was a genocide of Soviet citizens), the Holocaust quickly grew from a legend into a familiar Jewish scam. The Zionists declared that the Germans deliberately slaughtered many millions of Jews in Europe. Now they have finally settled the figure of 6 million, but Yu. Graf, using the example of the number of “killed” in Auschwitz, showed how the Zionists sucked these millions out of their fingers, how these figures changed over the years in the creative kitchen of swindlers. So, according to the Zionists, in Auschwitz it was "destroyed in gas chambers":
“- 9 million people, according to the film Nuit de Brouillard (Night and Fog);
- 8 million, according to a report published in 1945 by the French Office for the Study of War Crimes;
- 7 million, according to the testimony of prisoner Raphael Feidelson;
- 6 million, according to the Jewish publisher Tiberius Kremer;
- 5 million, of which 4.5 million Jews, according to "Le Monde" of April 20, 1978;
- 4 million, according to the Nuremberg Tribunal;
- 3.5 million gassed, of which 95% were Jews ("many" others died of other causes), according to film director Claude Lanzmann;
- 3.5 million, of which 2.5 million were gassed only before December 1, 1943, according to the confession of the first commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Hess;
- 2.5 million, according to the testimony of prisoner Rudolf Vrba;
- 2-3 million Jews killed and thousands of non-Jews, according to the confession of the SS man Perry Broad;
- 1.5-3.5 million Jews were poisoned between April 1942 and April 1944 alone, according to a 1982 statement by the Israeli "Holocaust expert" Yehuda Bauer;
- 2 million Jews poisoned by gas, according to the testimony of Lucy Davidovich;
- 1.6 million, of which 1352980 Jews, according to the statement of Yehuda Bauer, made in 1989;
- 1.5 million, according to the statement of the Polish government made in 1995;
- about 1.25 million, of which 1 million Jews, according to the statement of Raul Hilberg;
- 1-1.5 million, according to the statement of J.-C. Pressac, made in 1989;
- 800-900 thousand, according to the Jewish historian Gerald Reitling;
- 775-800 thousand, of which 630 thousand Jews were gassed, according to the statement of J.-C. Pressac, made in 1993;
- 670-710 thousand, of which 470-550 thousand were gassed Jews, according to the statement of J.-K. Pressak, made in 1994.
As you can see, the number of victims has been diligently declining over the years. And yet, the total number of victims of the "holocaust" of 5-6 million does not fluctuate from this. You can subtract hundreds of thousands from it, even millions - it will remain the same. Such is the mathematics of the Holocaust!
What documents, what excavations of mass graves do the Holocausts rely on, reducing the number of victims? None! All the above figures are pure fiction, without the slightest relation to the documentary reality of the Auschwitz camp. According to the revisionists' calculations, about 150,000 Jews died there (Faurisson), or 160,000-170,000 (Mattogno); of them gassed - zero. Epidemics, primarily typhus, were the main cause of such a terribly high death rate.
And Y. Graf finishes his work like this:
“What would happen if the revisionist arguments were accepted?
Imagine that one day the official version of the "Holocaust" will be just as officially recognized as false, it will be recognized that in the Third Reich there was persecution of Jews, but there was no extermination, that gas chambers, gas cars, like those cut off by German soldiers during the First World War war, children's hands, soap and lampshades made of fat and skin of Jews - all this is propaganda delirium delirium, that not 6 million, but about 500 thousand Jews died in the sphere of German domination, with the overwhelming majority due to typhus and deprivation in camps and ghettos, conditioned by the disasters of war. What would be the consequences of admitting all this? ..
… Not only in Germany, but also in other countries of Europe, those in power would be completely discredited. People would begin to ask the question: in the name of whose interests, for half a century, by means of censorship and terror, an unheard-of scam was supported? Trust in the authorities would collapse completely.
Thus we see that exposing the lies of the "Holocaust" would have devastating consequences not only for Zionism, but for the political and intellectual ruling caste of the whole world. There would be a reassessment of all values. The former would have gone into oblivion. The cards would have been shuffled." Readers of the forum http://www.forum-orion.com may say: well, what do we care about this? We buried our dead, we have nothing to pity the Germans, they have done something to us, God forbid, so what difference does it make to us that the Germans were "sewn" with another crime? One more, one less - it doesn't change things. With 50 million killed in that war, 5.5 million to and fro will not make a difference. Especially since it's all history.
There are a lot of reasons, but the vast majority of them matter to us as a state. And working for the newspaper made me a cynic. I know for sure that the majority of citizens who call themselves Russians did not care about the state of Russia. And if I show them some bad voucher or MMM promotion, they will sell their mother too. Therefore, I will talk about prosaic, material things. When the war was drawing to a close, Stalin raised the question of reparations from Germany to the allies (Britain and the USA) to compensate for at least a small part of the damage caused by the war. He offered to take only 20 billion dollars from Germany. The allies began to assure that it was impossible to take such money from Germany, although they had previously agreed with the USSR's share of 10 billion. Stalin suggested taking it not with money, but with the equipment of disarming Germany and the goods that it would produce in the future. The Allies did not agree to this either and proposed not to determine the amount, but to agree on the percentage of the seized. But when Stalin began to ask for 30% of Germany's gold reserves, inherited by the Allies, and a share in its foreign enterprises, the Allies refused. Moreover, freeing the zone of occupation of the USSR from their troops, they dragged away everything they could, stole, for example, all the cars. In short, instead of reparations, the USSR got East Germany, which our devastated country began to restore, bringing its level to a state in which, according to the FRG, in terms of gross social product per capita, it was ahead of such countries as Great Britain or Belgium. (In 1986, dollars: GDR - 11400; Belgium - 11360; Great Britain - 10430).
So, we asked the allies for only 10 billion dollars in reparations, but they didn’t give us, because Germany, allegedly, was beyond its power.
At the same time, the Zionists during that war formed troops to found Israel, but did not send a platoon to fight the Germans. Moreover, apparently, on the side of the Germans only against the USSR (participating in the genocide of our population, including Jews), a total of about two divisions of Jews fought. Since on September 2, 1945, there were 10,173 Jewish prisoners in our captivity (for example: Finns - 2377; Spaniards - 452).
And now, without paying us not only for 11 million. of our citizens killed in German camps, but also for the destruction, Germany paid Israel almost 90 billion marks, or about 60 billion dollars. How to understand it?
Of course, the Federal Republic of Germany was and is now under the occupation of the United States, and they made her pay. But now everything is being reviewed. The USSR is no longer a liberator, but an occupier, we are returning royal debts to France, Yeltsin is ready to give trophies to Germany. Obviously, according to these precedents, we have the right to reconsider not only the issue of reparations from Germany, but also the payment of compensation by her for our 11 million killed citizens.
But this requires an official clarification of the issue of the Holocaust. If the Germans really killed Jews, then we have the right to demand from Germany for our dead, at least the same tariff as for the Jews, that is, 15,000 marks for each of the 11 million killed. If it turns out that this is a scam, then we have the right to demand that Israel and the world community return this money to us with interest, as our reparations from Germany acquired as a result of the scam.
What can and should be done
If we had a State Duma, and not what we have today, then it should have created a commission of 10-12 deputies to consider the case of the Holocaust. No Yeltsin or international law is a hindrance here. From the point of view of law, by the way, the Duma may well create this commission, since this directly concerns us and, besides this, it can create it on the basis of a precedent. For example, in September 1951, a special commission of the US House of Representatives reviewed all available documents and interrogated 81 witnesses in the Katyn case, which had nothing to do with the US. And God himself ordered us to consider the Holocaust.
All the revisionists must be invited to this commission and they must be heard. At the same time, listen to the opposite side - invite the Zionists with their evidence of the Holocaust. The commission will report its results to the Duma, and the Duma will adopt an official conclusion on this matter. Moreover, any conclusion will suit Russia.
Based on this conclusion, the future Government of Russia will be able to take any reasonable steps in any direction. I want to warn skeptics that, they say, money cannot be taken from either Germany or Israel. They will not have to be taken, since Russia already has them. We can simply pay off our debts on loans at the expense of reparations and leave the West to figure out how, to whom and from whom to collect.

This decision is the completion of the infamous Spanish Holocaust Law No. 607.2, which was passed in 1996 under pressure from the conservative government of José María Aznar. This law created a system by which those who wrote historical articles justifying the actions of Nazi Germany were subsequently subjected to pressure. Aznar himself was at one time an activist in the right-wing Falangist Liberation League and took part in the activities of right-wing student organizations in the 1970s.
The Supreme Court ruled that the law violated the people's right to freedom of expression, which is guaranteed by the Spanish Constitution. The judges rejected Holocaust advocates' arguments that the Holocaust harmed Jews and threatened their very existence. The judges considered that no person or group of persons has the right to be offended by the way others freely express their point of view. In other words, the Spanish Court recognized the supremacy of the right to freedom of speech and the dissemination of information over the rights and interests of individuals and particular groups. Chief Justice Adolfo Prego de Olivero Tolivar, summing up the process and the decision, stated:
"We cannot punish those who simply spread an ideology, no matter what that ideology may lead to."
In order to emphasize that no piece of propaganda, even one that may sound too defiant, is a crime, the Spanish judges cited the following phrases as an example, which are now not punishable in Spain: "The Germans had every reason to burn Jews", "The Germans never burned Jews", "Blacks are at the very bottom of the cultural and social ladder of mankind."
All of these claims, Prego said, are "unpleasant." But in a modern constitutional state, no one can be punished for them, because in our society the doors should always be open to any points of view. At the same time, Prego, however, noted that all calls for violence would continue to be considered crimes and prosecuted.
In addition to the German Jews who served in the Wehrmacht, there were those Jews who guarded the Jewish ghettos, and then, together with the Germans, Lithuanians and Latvians, destroyed their own brethren.
Moreover, currying favor with the Germans, they showed even greater cruelty to the Jews than the most ...
Frostbitten Balts. Having occupied Poland, the Baltic States, Ukraine and Belarus - the traditional area for the resettlement of Jews, the Germans created ghettos in large cities, to which they moved Jews in order to isolate them from the non-Jewish population.
Unlike ordinary policemen, Jewish policemen received neither rations nor salaries, and therefore the only ways to feed themselves were robbery and extortion.
It's like in that joke - they gave a gun, spin as you want. True, pistols were not issued to ordinary policemen - only the heads of detachments and commandants had them. Rifles were issued to the police only for the duration of the executions.
The Jewish police detachments were quite large. In the Warsaw Ghetto, the Jewish police numbered about 2,500; in the ghetto of the city of Lodz - 1200; in Lviv up to 500 people; in Vilnius up to 250 people.
Head of the Jewish Police in Krakow Shapiro
The head of the Jewish police of the Warsaw ghetto, Jozef Sherinsky, receives a report from the head of one of the detachments, Yakub Leikin. Sherinsky was later caught stealing, and Leikin took his place.
Many Jewish policemen amassed quite decent fortunes on this by the end of the war, but the largest fortunes were made by members and heads of the Judenrats - Jewish self-government bodies created by the Germans, the heads of which most often became kahal elders. Firstly, they took bribes for the right to join the police, and secondly, the policemen brought them a share of the loot. They also took bribes from ordinary Jews for the right to delay sending them to a concentration camp. Thus, the richest Jews, as a rule, survived, and the leadership of the Judenrats not only survived, but became even richer as a result of the war. They stole wherever they could. Even the 229 grams of rations set by the Germans for the Jews, they managed to reduce to 184.
Jewish police armband
When creating the Judenrats, the Germans, as a rule, relied on the top of the kahal. The fact is that since ancient times, each Jewish community had its own kahal - a self-government body that acted as an intermediary between the Jews and the authorities of the state on whose territory this community lived. At the head of the kahal were four elders (roshi); they were followed by "persons of honor" (tuvas). The qahal always had a detachment of the qahal fear led by the shamesh. Having driven the Jews into the ghetto, the Germans simply renamed the kahals into Judenrats, and the shameshs became police chiefs.
Some of the former members of the Jewish police of Vilnius, Kaunas and Siauliai were arrested by the NKVD in the summer of 1944 and convicted of collaborating with the Germans. The same policemen and members of the Judenrats that did not fall into the hands of the NKVD were safely repatriated to Israel, and enjoyed honor and respect there. Their "exploits" were justified even in the Talmud, calling by any means to save at least a drop of Jewish blood. The Jews reasoned as follows: if the policemen had not gone into the service of the Germans, the Germans would have killed them along with the rest of the Jews, and by killing their fellow tribesmen, whom the Germans would have killed anyway, they saved at least part of the Jews from destruction - themselves.
Bicycle detachment of the Jewish police in the Warsaw Ghetto
INWehrmacht served 150 thousand Jews
Among the 4 million 126 thousand 964 prisoners of various nationalities taken by us there were 10 thousand 137 Jews.
Are there really such Jews who fought on the side of Hitler.
Imagine, there were many such Jews.
The ban on the admission of Jews to military service was first introduced in Germany on November 11, 1935. However, as early as 1933, the dismissal of Jews who bore officer ranks began. True, many veteran officers of Jewish origin were then allowed to remain in the army at the personal request of Hindenburg, but after his death they were gradually sent off to retire. Until the end of 1938, 238 such officers were escorted from the Wehrmacht. On January 20, 1939, Hitler ordered the dismissal of all Jewish officers, as well as all officers who were married to Jewish women.
However, all these orders were not unconditional, and Jews were allowed to serve in the Wehrmacht with special permits. In addition, the layoffs took place with a creak - each boss of the dismissed Jew zealously argued that his subordinate Jew was indispensable in his place. The Jewish quartermasters held on to their places especially tightly. On August 10, 1940, only in the VII military district (Munich) there were 2269 Jewish officers who served in the Wehrmacht on the basis of a special permit. In all 17 districts, the number of Jewish officers amounted to about 16 thousand people.
For feats in the military field, Jews could be Aryanized, that is, appropriated with German nationality. In 1942, 328 Jewish officers were Aryanized.
Checking for Jewish affiliation was provided only for officers. For the lower rank, only his own assurance was provided that neither he nor his wife were Jews. In this case, it was possible to grow up to a staff sergeant major, but if someone was eager to become an officer, then his origin was carefully checked. There were also those who, upon entering the army, recognized Jewish origin, but they could not get a rank higher than a senior shooter.
It turns out that the Jews sought to join the army in droves, considering it the safest place for themselves in the conditions of the Third Reich. It was not difficult to hide Jewish origin - most German Jews had German names and surnames, and the nationality was not written in the passport.
Checks of ordinary and non-commissioned officers for belonging to the Jews began to be made only after the assassination attempt on Hitler. Such checks covered not only the Wehrmacht, but also the Luftwaffe, the Kriegsmarine, and even the SS. Until the end of 1944, 65 soldiers and sailors, 5 soldiers of the SS troops, 4 non-commissioned officers, 13 lieutenants,
one Untersturmführer, one Obersturmführer of the SS troops, three captains, two majors, one lieutenant colonel - battalion commander in the 213th Infantry Division Ernst Bloch, one colonel and one rear admiral - Karl Kühlenthal. The latter served as a naval attaché in Madrid and carried out assignments for the Abwehr. One of the identified Jews was immediately Aryanized for military merit. The fate of the rest of the documents are silent. It is only known that Kühlenthal, thanks to the intercession of Dönitz, was allowed to retire with the right to wear a uniform.
There is evidence that Grand Admiral Erich Johann Albert Raeder also turned out to be a Jew. His father was a school teacher who converted to Lutheranism in his youth. According to these very data, it was precisely the identified Jewry that became the true reason for the resignation of Raeder on January 3, 1943.
Many Jews called their nationality only in captivity. So, Wehrmacht Major Robert Borchardt, who received the Knight's Cross for a tank breakthrough of the Russian front in August 1941, was captured by the British near El Alamein, after which it turned out that his Jewish father lives in London. In 1944, Borchardt was released to live with his father, but in 1946 he returned to Germany. In 1983, shortly before his death, Borchardt told German schoolchildren: "Many Jews and half-Jews who fought for Germany in World War II believed that they should honestly defend their fatherland by serving in the army."
Another Jewish hero was Colonel Walter Hollander. During the war years, he was awarded the Iron Crosses of both degrees and a rare distinction - the Golden German Cross. In October 1944, Hollander was captured by us, where he declared his Jewishness. He remained in captivity until 1955, after which he returned to Germany and died in 1972.
A very curious case is also known, when for a long time the Nazi press placed on their covers a photograph of a blue-eyed blond in a steel helmet as a standard representative of the Aryan race. However, one day it turned out that Werner Goldberg, placed in these photos, turned out to be not only blue-eyed, but also blue-backed.
Further elucidation of Goldberg's identity revealed that he was also a Jew. Goldberg was fired from the army, and he got a job as a clerk in a company that sews military uniforms. In 1959-79 Goldberg was a member of the West Berlin Chamber of Deputies.
The highest-ranking Nazi Jew is Goering's Deputy Inspector General of the Luftwaffe, Field Marshal Erhard Milch. In order not to discredit Milch in the eyes of ordinary Nazis, the party leadership stated that Milch's mother did not have sex with her Jewish husband, and Erhard's true father was Baron von Beer. Goering laughed for a long time about this: "Yes, we made Milch a bastard, but an aristocratic bastard."
On May 4, 1945, Milch was caught by the British at Sicherhagen Castle on the Baltic coast and was sentenced to life imprisonment by a military court. In 1951, the term was reduced to 15 years, and by 1955, he was released ahead of schedule.
Some of the captured Jews died in Soviet captivity and, according to the official position of the Israeli National Holocaust and Heroism Memorial Yad Vashem, are considered victims of the Holocaust.
The myth of 6,000,000
It is impossible today to say exactly how many Jews died at the hands of the Nazis, and most likely it will never be possible to establish even an approximate number of them. But one can get some idea of how the number of Jews who died during the war years is being manipulated for their own purposes by unscrupulous historians and politicians...
The celebrations are expected to be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, US Vice President Dick Cheney and other dignitaries from many countries. They will undoubtedly remember the people tortured here by the Nazis, but hardly anyone will say a word about the fact that the history of Auschwitz is far from being as unambiguous as it might seem at first glance, and - most importantly - is inextricably linked with one of the most odious myths. Second World War.
Years go by, and the question of the number of Jews who died during the Second World War does not lose its relevance and does not cease to occupy specialists in various fields - from historians to chemists unsuccessfully trying to figure out the structure of gas chambers. Interest in this topic is supported primarily by the Jews themselves, for whom the number of victims that boggles the imagination of any normal person has become one of the main justifications for both the creation of the state of Israel and its policies, and is also used to this day to present a wide variety of financial and political claims against the states, one way or another involved in the "final solution" of the Jewish question. Suffice it to recall that Germany still pays compensation to the victims of the Holocaust; that Switzerland was forced to pay billions of dollars for the accounts of European Jews kept in its banks; that many companies become victims of blackmail, boycott and economic sanctions only on the slightest suspicion that they were in any way collaborating with the Nazis. How exactly this happens, as well as what colossal material and moral capital Jewish organizations have extracted and continue to extract from the death of their fellow tribesmen during the Second World War, is described in great detail in the excellent book by the Israeli, we note, researcher Norman Finkelstein "Industry of the Holocaust" ( Norman G. Finkelstein. The Holocaust Industry. A lot to restore the truth was done by such scientists as David Irving, Kevin Macdonald, Jean-Claude Pressac, Roger Garaudy, Robert Faurisson, Michael Hoffman, Ernst Zündel and others. Many of them Zündel, for example, after serving several years in the United States, is now in a Canadian prison, and in Europe there are laws in general, according to which even a simple doubt about the official history of the "Holocaust" is a criminal offense. included in the criminal code of America, Canada and other countries.
Considering how much money the "holocaust industry" brings to Jewish organizations, and also how profitable the role of victims is, allowing the use of furnaces of German concentration camps as the main argument after which any discussion of the Jewish question or Israeli politics ends, it is not surprising that the Zionists do everything possible to prevent the revision of the official statistics of the victims of Nazism. On the other hand, it is precisely for this reason that it is so important to understand how things really were. Is it really, as it is written in all history books and as it would seem known to everyone, that the Third Reich is guilty of the death of 6 million Jews?
According to the materials of the Wannsee Conference, which decided on the "final solution of the Jewish question", the total number of Jews in the territories controlled by the Nazis was 4.5 million at the end of 1941. There was no reason for the Germans, who were known for their pedantry, to deceive themselves at that time. But this figure is of great interest, not only in comparison with the magical six million, but also in the light of the fact that, according to the government of the Federal Republic of Germany, in 1988 there were satisfied about 4.3 million claims for compensation to survivors of the Holocaust, which means that all these people were able to document that during the Second World War they were in the territory occupied by the Germans and were persecuted for their Jewish origin, but nevertheless survived. It would seem that, having these figures, it would be easy to determine the number of Jews killed by the Germans, but not everything, it turns out, is so simple. So, where big politics is involved, the laws of arithmetic, it turns out, lose their force.
It is impossible today to say exactly how many Jews died at the hands of the Nazis, and most likely it will never be possible to establish even an approximate number of them. The figure of 6,000,000 was originally obtained based on two sources. First, former SS officer Wilhelm Hottl testified at the Nuremberg trials that, according to Adolf Eichmann, who told him about it, 4 million Jews died in concentration camps and another 2 million died "in other places." The second source is the testimony of the former commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, who said that 4 million Jews died in the camp under his command alone. We will return to Höss' testimony below, but for now we will only note that even officially recognized Jewish researchers question these figures. For example, Raul Hilberg, one of the leading experts on the history of the Holocaust, professor of political science at the University of Vermont and author of the textbook monograph The Destruction of European Jewry, in an article for the Encarta encyclopedia, lists all the concentration camps in which, according to him, there were gas chambers. By the way, this list does not include such infamous camps as Bergen-Belsen and Dachau, which for many years were considered "factories of death" - photographs allegedly taken there with mountains of corpses depicted on them went around the whole world. So, according to the data of Professor Hilberg, published, we emphasize once again in the official "Microsoft" Enkarta encyclopedia, it turns out that 2.8 million Jews died in the gas furnaces of Treblinka, Majdanek, Auschwitz and three other camps, of which a million people - in Auschwitz. If this figure is true, then the number of six million derived from Höss' testimony of the four million killed in Auschwitz must be at least halved. Hilberg himself, by the way, repeatedly gave different figures for the total number of Jewish victims of the "holocaust", without providing any explanation for his inconsistency.
The truth, as mentioned above, we probably will never know. But some idea of how the number of Jews who died during the war years is now being manipulated by unscrupulous historians and politicians for their own purposes can be obtained by following how the number of "burned in the ovens" of perhaps the most famous German concentration camp, Auschwitz, has changed over the years. A detailed table of these data, with reference to sources, was published in 2001 in the prestigious Barnes Review, and it can be found on the Internet. We will give just a few examples from there.
The number of alleged deaths in Auschwitz
9,000,000 French documentary "Night and Fog", which was widely shown around the world.
8,000,000 French Ministry of War Crimes December 1945
7,000,000 Data from the same ministry a year later
From 5,000,000 to 5,500,000 These figures were heard at the trial of former Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and were based on his affidavit. These testimonies, by the way, were written in English, which, as it was found out, he did not speak.
4,000,000 The number of deaths in Auschwitz, officially established at the Nuremberg Trials.
3,500,000 French Dictionary, 1991 edition. The same figure is given by Claude Lanzman, a famous documentary filmmaker and author of the serial film "Shoah", in 1980 in his preface to the book "Three Years in the Auschwitz Gas Chamber" by Philip Muller.
2,500,000 The figure cited at the trial of Adolf Eichmann by the chief witness for the prosecution, Rudolf Vrba.
2,000,000 A figure given by three famous Holocaust scholars: Leon Polyakov in his book Harvest of Hatred (1951); George Wellers in The Yellow Star in the Vichy Age (1973) and Lucy Davidovich in The War Against the Jews (1975).
From 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 Leading Israeli expert on the subject, Yehuda Bauer, in his 1982 book The History of the Holocaust. However, in the 1989 edition, Bauer already gives a different figure: 1,600,000. At the same time, in an article published in the Jerusalem Post, Bauer admitted that "higher numbers of victims have been refuted for many years, but these data have not yet been brought to the attention of the public ".
1,500,000 In 1995, the then President of Poland, Lech Walesa, named such a figure, referring to the research conducted by the staff of the Auschwitz Museum. She "replaced" the previously considered official number of 4,000,000, which was erased from the monument erected in Auschwitz back in 1990. At the same time, information about one and a half million victims of Auschwitz was published in the Washington Times and the London Daily Telegraph.
1,250,000 Historian Raul Hilberg in his 1985 book The Destruction of European Jewry. According to Hilberg, of all the people who died in Auschwitz, about a million were Jews.
1,000,000 Jean-Claude Pressac in his 1989 book Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers. It is interesting to note that he wrote this book as a controversy with Holocaust-denying revisionist historians, who were precisely questioning the number of people who died in Auschwitz.
From 775,000 to 800,000 Pressack's revised data included in his 1993 book Auschwitz Crematoria: Mechanisms of Mass Murder. Of this death toll, 630,000 were Jews, according to Pressac.
135,000 to 140,000 Data from the International Search Service of the Red Cross, based on twice-daily roll calls of Auschwitz prisoners.
73,137 (of which 38,031 Jews) This figure was first given by The New York Times on March 3, 1991, based on the archives known as the Books of the Dead of Auschwitz. These 46 volumes of the "book" were seized by soldiers of the Red Army at the end of the war and kept in the Soviet archives until 1989, when they were handed over to the Red Cross. These "books" contain all the death certificates of all camp prisoners, indicating the full name, profession and religious affiliation of the deceased, as well as the date and place of birth, previous place of residence, parents' names, time and cause of death, which was established by the camp doctor. In general, according to the German archives, the number of deaths in all German concentration camps in the period from 1935 to 1945. is 403,713 people, and this number includes representatives of all races and peoples, as well as those who died of typhus and other infectious diseases or who died of their own death from old age.
This is how the "scatter" of numbers and opinions turns out, but in any case, no self-respecting historian today allows himself to name the figure of 4 million. Why then, one wonders, in this simple arithmetic problem, the total number of Jews who died during the war has not yet been revised and still remains at the level of 6 million?
As mentioned above, practically all Jewish organizations, from public to government in Israel, are vitally interested in preserving and maintaining this myth. Banks are also interested in this, pumping out billions in compensation for millions of victims.
For these reasons, it is unlikely that it will be possible to establish the exact number of victims, and, in fact, they are not the point. No one is going to justify the atrocities of the Nazis or discount the suffering and horrors experienced by those who fell into their hands. But the falsification of the history of the Second World War and the manipulation of the number of people who died in fascist concentration camps for their own selfish interests is, in fact, a desecration of the memory of those who really fell victim to the "brown plague". Including, of course, over the memory of the Jews killed by the Germans.
