“The ad copy is just the sort that puts people’s free-speech convictions to
flight: vile, straight-faced fabrications about ‘the good news of Holocaust
Revisionism’ in full-page ads submitted recently to a wide range of college
newspapers. In the ads, yet another group of haters presents artfully pseudoacademic assurances that no mass murder took place at Auschwitz, that eyewitness accounts are ‘ludicrously unreliable,’ that ‘it is now well documented’ (a lie) that confessions at war crimes trials were obtained through
torture. Most insidious, the ad’s author attributes any dissension from the
‘Holocaust Story’ to ‘political correctness’ and ‘campus Thought Police,’
adroitly appropriating political symbols of the moment.
College newspapers have no obligation to accept these ads, of course, and
some editors haven’t. Some, however, including those at Duke and Rutgers,
have run them with rebuttals and discussion. This has brought an outcry
from adults calling for an across-the-board ban on such material under existing guidelines that ban racist or antisemitic copy. The catch, though, is
the false dispassionate and pseudo-scholarly tone of the ads, which studiously avoid code words and ethnic invective. Their offensiveness lies solely
in their message.
Statements that the Holocaust never happened have surfaced in a variety of
semi-public contexts lately – computer networks, talk radio – and, whether
from the efforts of a small band of poisonous thinkers or from the gradual

erosion of a taboo, it’s clear that such talk is becoming gradually more audible in public discourse. As a social development, this is not good news. But
the idea that the way to combat these ads is to suppress them – automatically
and in every case – is bad strategy. It plays into a key part of the offenders’
argument: that evidence of the Holocaust is somehow sparse or hard to come
by and that the truth has anything to fear from scrutiny.
The opposite is true. Poland is open now. Anyone can go to Auschwitz and
see the roomfuls of grisly, literal evidence. Anyone can read not one, or 10,
but hundreds of volumes of documents. Anyone can demolish the supposedly
academic ‘rise’ laid out in these ads without half trying – and everyone has
a responsibility to do so, given the chances. The student editors at Duke and
Rutgers did this. The impulse to push away the creeping revisionist insinuation, to protect it from the bracing blast of refutation, is shortsighted. Ironically, one sole sentence near the beginning of the ad copy is in fact correct:
‘Students should be encouraged to investigate the Holocaust story the same
way they are encouraged to investigate every other historical event.”

were half a dozen men lying or half lying on the floor. One or two were able
to pull themselves erect at once. The man nearest me, his shirt and face spattered with blood, made two attempts before he got on to his knees and then
gradually on to his feet. He stood with his arms stretched out in front of him,
trembling violently.
‘Come on. Get up,’ the sergeant shouted >LQ WKH QH[W FHOO@. The man was
lying in his blood on the floor, a massive figure with a heavy head and bedraggled beard >«@‘Why don’t you kill me?’ he whispered. ‘Why don’t you
kill me? I cannot stand it any more.’ The same phrases dribbled out of his
lips over and over again. ‘He’s been saying that all morning, the dirty bastard,’ the sergeant said.”

“AMERICAN investigators at the U. S. Court in Dachau, Germany, used the
following methods to obtain confessions: Beatings and brutal kickings.
Knocking out teeth and breaking jaws. Mock trials. Solitary confinement.
Posturing as priests. Very limited rations. Spiritual deprivation. Promises of
acquittal. >«@ We won the war, but some of us want to go on killing. That
seems to me wicked. >«@ The American prohibition of hear-say evidence
had been suspended. Second and third-hand testimony was admitted, >«@ Lt
Perl of the Prosecution pleaded that it was difficult to obtain competent evidence. Perl told the court, ‘We had a tough case to crack and we had to use
persuasive methods.’ He admitted to the court that the persuasive methods
included various ‘expedients, including some violence and mock trials.’ He
further told the court that the cases rested on statements obtained by such

methods. >«@ The statements which were admitted as evidence were obtained from men who had first been kept in solitary confinement for three,
four, and, five months. They were confined between four walls, with no windows, and no opportunity of exercise. Two meals a day were shoved in to
them through a slot in the door. They were not allowed to talk to anyone.
They had no communication with their families or any minister or priest
during that time. >«@ Our investigators would put a black hood over the
accused’s head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles, kick him,
and beat him with rubber hose. Many of the German defendants had teeth
knocked out. Some had their jaws broken. All but two of the Germans, in the
139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair.
This was Standard Operating Procedure with American investigators. Perl
admitted use of mock trials and persuasive methods including violence and
said the court was free to decide the weight to be attached to evidence thus
received. But it all went in.
One 18 year old defendant, after a series of beatings, was writing a statement being dictated to him. When they reached the 16th page, the boy was
locked up for the night. In the early morning, Germans in nearby cells heard
him muttering. ‘I will not utter another lie.’ When the jailer came in later to
get him to finish his false statement, he found the German hanging from a
cell bar, dead. However the statement that the German had hanged himself
to escape signing was offered and received in evidence in the trial of the
others.
Sometimes a prisoner who refused to sign was led into a dimly lit room,
where a group of civilian investigators, wearing U. S. Army uniforms, were
seated around a black table with a crucifix in the center and two candles
burning, one on each aide. ‘You will now have your American trial,’ the
defendant was told.
The sham court passed a sham sentence of death. Then the accused was told,
‘You will hang in a few days, as soon as the general approves this sentence:
but in the meantime sign this confession and we can get you acquitted.’ Some
still wouldn’t sign. >«@
In another case, a bogus Catholic priest (actually an investigator) entered
the cell of one of the defendants, heard his confession, gave him absolution,
and then gave him a little friendly tip: ‘Sign whatever the investigators ask
you to sign. It will get you your freedom. Even though it’s false, I can give
you absolution now in advance for the lie you’d tell.’”

“Here >LQ%DG1HQQGRUIQRUWKZHVW*HUPDQ\@, an organisation called the
Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (CSDIC) ran a secret
prison following the British occupation of north-west Germany in 1945.
CSDIC, a division of the War Office, operated interrogation centres around
the world, including one known as the London Cage, located in one of London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. Official documents discovered last
month at the National Archives at Kew, south-west London, show that the
London Cage was a secret torture centre where German prisoners who had
been concealed from the Red Cross were beaten, deprived of sleep, and
threatened with execution or with unnecessary surgery.
As horrific as conditions were at the London Cage, Bad Nenndorf was far
worse. Last week, Foreign Office files which have remained closed for almost 60 years were opened after a request by the Guardian under the Freedom of Information Act. These papers, and others declassified earlier, lay
bare the appalling suffering of many of the 372 men and 44 women who
passed through the centre during the 22 months it operated before its closure
in July 1947.
They detail the investigation carried out by a Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Tom Hayward, following the complaints of Major Morgan-Jones
and Dr Jordan. Despite the precise and formal prose of the detective’s report to the military government, anger and revulsion leap from every page
as he turns his spotlight on a place where prisoners were systematically
beaten and exposed to extreme cold, where some were starved to death and,
allegedly, tortured with instruments that his fellow countrymen had recovered from a Gestapo prison in Hamburg. Even today, the Foreign Office is
refusing to release photographs taken of some of the “living skeletons” on
their release.”

“Bradley Smith is a Californian who acknowledges that the Nazis were cruel
to Jews but who denies that the Holocaust ever happened. He has tried to
expound his views in a 4,000-word essay submitted as an advertisement to
several college newspapers – giving headaches and heartaches to student
editors. In the process he gives the public some valuable, if unintended, lessons in the workings of a free press.
Many readers would blanch if they came upon Mr. Smith’s pseudo-scholarly
tract. Yes, he concedes, Jews were mistreated by the Nazis, and ‘many tragically perished in the maelstrom.’ But the idea that Nazi Germany exterminated six million Jews, Mr. Smith contends, is an irresponsible exaggeration. Gas chambers? A myth. Those actually were ‘life-saving’ fumigation
shelters to delouse clothing and prevent disease.
Should college editors risk appearing mercenary by taking money for publishing such trash? Should they risk playing censors to protect other young
minds by refusing the ad? Is there some middle course, like printing the ad
but with appraisals of its bizarre musings?
The dilemma is acute, just as it can be for commercial newspapers when
confronted with ads that offend decency, patriotism or commonly accepted
history. But the first lesson here is that it is their dilemma and not a First
Amendment question. That great ordinance directs that Congress make no
law abridging free expression. Government may not censor Mr. Smith and
his fellow ‘Holocaust revisionists,’ no matter how intellectually barren their
claims. Whether to publish their ads is something for the newspapers to
decide.
The second lesson is that there’s probably no right answer to the question
of how they should decide. College editors have come out in different ways.
Newspapers at Harvard, Yale, Brown and the University of California
turned the ad down. Those at Cornell, Duke, Northwestern and Michigan
printed it, sometimes citing free speech.
Perhaps the most creative response was that of the student editors at Rutgers
University. The Daily Targum newspaper rejected the Holocaust tract as
advertising but ran the text in its news columns, along with an editorial denunciation and comment by invited authors. The editors thus transformed
revulsion into education.
The public does not usually require protection from bad ideas. Even so, initial instincts in favor of publication may sometimes yield to exceptions,
against quackery, for instance, or on behalf of taste or fairness. The Times,
³8JO\,GHDVDQG'HPRFUDF\´New York Times -DQXDU\
*(50$558'2/)&$5/20$772*12ā AUSCHWITZ LIES
for instance, has from time to time refused advertisements – like one insisting
that a politician killed in a plane crash had himself sabotaged the flight; that
claim seemed unjustly unanswerable.
Denying the Holocaust may be monumentally more unjust. Yet to require
that it be discussed only within approved limits may do an even greater injustice to the memory of its victims. To print or not to print? The diversity of
responses from diverse editors demonstrates something more important
than the answer. When there is free expression, even the ugliest ideas enrich
democracy.”

“When a campus newspaper editor is asked to print an ad denying that the
Holocaust took place – or calling for ‘open debate’ on the subject – can he
or she say ‘no’ without compromising freedom of the press?
In the view of the ADL and The New York Times, the answer is yes. Both
organizations have been disturbed by the continuing – and often successful
– attempts by Holocaust deniers >«@to place advertisements and other materials in campus newspapers. Out of their common concern came an annual
colloquium, ‘Extremism Targets the Campus Press: Balancing Freedom and
Responsibility.’
‘We seek to educate campus journalists,’ said ADL Campus Affairs/Higher
Education Director Jeffrey Ross, ‘to balance freedom of the press with responsibility of the press when responding to hate submissions.’”

“The actual degree of Rudolf’s ‘seriousness’ and ‘respectability’ is revealed
by an article published by him in the right-wing extremist ‘Quarterly for
Free Historical Research’ under the title ‘About Fear and How to Overcome
it.’ In it he indirectly calls for violence against a public prosecutor highly
committed to prosecuting revisionism.”

I have been repeatedly asked to publish the full names of all persons involved
in the persecution of dissidents by the authorities. After all, one never knows
what good this kind of information could do in the future. That is exactly the
reason why I hesitate to do this. After all the political trials and persecution,
Germany really needs only one thing in the future: A large-scale amnesty, a
reconciliation with itself, an end to self-flagellation and self-destruction. I
am therefore strictly opposed to any kind of threat, should the table be turned
one day, and then the other side will be the target. What would then be the
difference between them and us? Don’t count on me!”

“I had been in touch with Jean-Claude for some time, but I must tell you that
it was no fun. I had to realize quickly that Jean-Claude is hardly capable of
consequent, analytically thought-through and systematic scholarly work.
This is already obvious with his so-called standard work. It is characterized
by a complete organizational chaos. He repeats himself numerous times,
mixes facts with interpretations and imputations, and even with wishful
thinking. Moreover, it is intellectually dishonest not even to mention the one
scholar – me – who has discovered most of the sources he relies upon and
made them accessible for researchers.
Jean-Claude is mentally very unstable. This became particularly obvious
when he realized more and more that my thesis about the fraudulent nature
of Holocaust claims is correct. Because the result of this insight was that the
confrontation with representatives of the established version become extremely tough. And even more than that: it became outright dangerous, be

cause I started being prosecuted and physically attacked. Jean-Claude became frightened and begged me not to exaggerate it, but instead to bring the
truth to the surface only step by step.
But if I have recognized something as true, I will not tell half-truths or outright lies. We therefore parted at that point in disagreement.”

“Generally speaking, we burned 4 or 5 corpses at a time in one muffle, but
sometimes we charged a greater number of corpses. It was possible to
charge up to 8 ‘musulmans.’ Such big charges were incinerated without the
knowledge of the head of the crematorium during air-raid warnings in order
to attract the attention of airmen by having a bigger fire emerging from the

“Finally it is clear that in both cases >K\GURJHQF\DQLGHFDUERQPRQR[
LGH@humans keep the poison inside of their body with each breath, so that
the concentration of the poison in the surrounding air decreases. This reduction seems unimportant, particularly in case of Zyklon B, because in average a mere 70 mg of hydrogen cyanide suffice to kill a grown-up man, a
little less to kill a woman, and even less to kill a child. If assuming that in
average 50 mg of pure hydrogen cyanide per person is required, that is
50,000 mg or 50 g of pure hydrogen cyanide for 1,000 people, which disappear out of the surrounding air, then this explains that the possibility of a
quick ventilation >RIWKHJDVFKDPEHU@evolves.”

“It is thus true what I ‘predicted’ since 1981,>@ namely that after the death
of the victims no hydrogen cyanide vapors could have been left behind in the
atmosphere of the gas chambers, as they had been used in Auschwitz, or at
most ‘infinitesimal traces.’”
“It is obvious that any poison that is administered in lethal doses, in which
way ever, remains in the corpse of the victims; after all, it would not be lethal
if it were not present. With poison gases, which spread in lethal doses together with the circulating air inhaled inside of a hermetically sealed room,
it is as follows: they penetrate into the human body with each breath and get
chemically fixed in a way that the exhaled air contains nothing of those
gases. Result: With each – unavoidable – inhalation the body of the victim
gets enriched with poison, whereas its concentration gets reduced accordingly in the circulating air.” SSI
“Be that as it may, Leuchter has shown that the evacuation of corpses right
after the gassing is not impossible at all, and that Faurisson’s speculations
are nothing but delusions of a mythomaniac.” S

“Hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid, which has the result that its salts decompose slightly in the presence of stronger acids. One of these stronger acids
is carbonic acid, which arises from the reaction between carbon dioxide and
water. >(YHQ@stronger acids, such as, for example, sulfuric acid, decompose

cyanide even more easily. Complex compounds of cyanide ions with heavy
metals are more durable. Among such compounds is the already mentioned
‘Prussian Blue’ > ,URQ%OXH@, but even this decomposes slowly in an acidic
environment.
One could hardly expect, therefore, that building materials (plaster, brick)
exposed to environmental influences (precipitation, acidic oxides, especially
sulfuric and nitric monoxide) would contain derivative compounds of cyanides after a period of 45 years.”

“I am not embarrassed to call Holocaust-denial hate speech. That is what it
is. People who are smart enough to obfuscate using pseudoscientific arguments are also smart enough to know what they are doing: propagating a
lie. Although some people may be attracted to Holocaust denial because of
gullibility and/or mental illness, these people are not the same people who
write these clever but mendacious pseudoscientific reports. The people who
write these reports are motivated by a desire to rehabilitate Nazism, an ideology of hate. Hate-speech is what it is, and in calling it that I am merely
exercising my right of free speech.”

is well to specify that this designation (like those of ‘red house’ and ‘white

“cited a study by H. Frohlich >VLF@ in an 1872 German military journal that
the attempt to dispose of the bodies of soldiers by opening mass graves and
filling them with tar ‘resulted in charring of the uppermost layer of the
corpses, the baking of the intermediate layer and no effect on the bottom
layer.’ He ignored the fact that the author of the study gave guidelines for
the effective disposal of bodies in pits by using gasoline. Frolich wrote that
the grave had to be drenched with gasoline in a tar pit. After three hours,
250 to 300 bodies were disposed of.”

The average time of a cremation without an intake draft system (taking into
account the combustion capacity of the furnace grill) was sixty minutes, as
is evident from the statement by Engineer Prüfer (in the 1 November 1940
letter), as well as from the diagrams published by Engineer R. Kessler concerning the principal combustion in the muffle (considering the structural
differences of the Gebrüder Beck oven compared to those at AuschwitzBirkenau).”

“Another useful piece of information is a report from the Bauleitung on June
13, 1943. It states that doors for Krema II are ‘urgently needed for the execution of the special measures... Likewise, the completion of windows for the
reception building and the doors for 5 >EDUUDFNV@ for the accommodation of
prisoners >+lIWOLQJVXQWHUNQIWH@ is urgently required for the same reasons.’
There is no further information about the five barracks in the memo. Recall,
however, that Höss mentioned five barracks in his memoirs for the two bunkers in the area where prisoners were gassed, and this is the same number
referred to for ‘special treatment’ in the Bauleitung memo of July 15, 1942.
It would appear that the five barracks in the June 1943 memo are the same
ones used for undressing in the areas where the two bunkers were located.
Thus, their continued usage after the crematoria were built and before the
Hungarian operation was undertaken is strongly suggested.’”

“In citing a report by Topf engineers dated July 14, 1941 describing the
efficiency of an oven as being able to burn 10 to 35 bodies in ten hours, I
believed that it was a different report than the one Pressac cited from the

“Kurt Prüfer, builder of the ovens, was asked why the brick linings of the
ovens were damaged so quickly. He replied that the damage resulting after
six months was ‘because the strain on the furnaces was enormous.’ He recounted how he had told Topf’s chief engineer in charge of crematoria, Fritz
Sanders>VLF@, about the strain on the furnaces of so many corpses waiting
to be incinerated as a result of the gassing. Sanders stated that he had been
told by Prüfer and another Topf engineer that the ‘capacity of the furnaces
was so great because three (gassed) corpses were incinerated (in one oven)
simultaneously.’”

“The reason for leaving behind >WKHDUFKLYHV@ as they were can perhaps be
found in the personality of the SS lieutenant Werner Jothann, who was the
second – and last – director of the Auschwitz >=HQWUDO@bauleitung. This architectural engineer had not personally been involved in the homicidal revamping of the crematoria at the end of 1942 and in early 1943 under the
first director, SS captain Karl Bischoff. Unaware of the ‘explosive’ character of the files concerning those changes, Jothann left without worrying
about them and did not order them to be destroyed.”

“Mattogno argued that this document>@ was a forgery because the type of
gas detector mentioned in the memo was not the one which would have been
used to detect prussic acid. Auschwitz: The End of a Legend, p. 66.>@ However, Pressac also realized that this was not the same type of gas detector

“The letter only shows that Topf was ignorant as to the type of gas detector
which would be needed. The real problem for Mattogno was to explain why
the oven builders would know it to be necessary to have such a device for a
crematorium which several weeks earlier was stated to have a ‘gassing cellar.’ Since he could not find any such explanation, he reverted to the familiar
denier tactic of labeling anything which cannot be explained as a forgery”

used for normal disinfestations of the crematorium. In support of this interpretation, it could be added that according to the general provisions of the
SS camp physician, 200 detainees who were working in late February 1943
in Crematory II would have been able to resume their activity only after a
disinfestation of their bodies and of their work-place, i.e., Crematory II.”

“The Gusen file that Mattogno relied on shows the amount of coke in the
form of wheelbarrows used to transport it to the ovens. At the top of the page
it states ‘Karren Koks,’ or wheelbarrows of coke. Below this heading it
states that one wheelbarrow equals 60 kilograms. However, this weight is
only stated for the period from September 26 to October 15, 1941. During
this period, 203 bodies were cremated using 153 wheelbarrows. This means
that 9,180 kilograms (60 kilograms times 153 barrows) incinerated 204 bodies at 45 kilograms per body. The 9,180 number appears on a backup page
of this file where the 153 wheelbarrows are multiplied by 60 kilograms.
There is some reason, however, to suspect that each wheelbarrow did not
contain 60 kilograms of coke but that this was a generic number based on
the theoretical maximum that each delivery could hold. In other words, 60
kilograms was attached to each wheelbarrow regardless of actual weight.
For example, on October 3 eleven bodies were incinerated using 13 wheelbarrows. At 60 kilograms per wheelbarrow it would have taken 71 kilograms
per body. However, on October 15, 33 bodies were incinerated using 16
wheelbarrows, or 29 kilograms per body.”

“On November 7, 1941 these two muffles incinerated 94 bodies in a period
of 19 hours and 45 minutes, or 47 per muffle. This means that each oven
could incinerate a body in 25.2 minutes. This was probably achieved by adding a new body to the oven before the prior body had been totally incinerated, a method which appears to have been envisaged by the Topf instructions discussed earlier. >«@ This method should not be confused with multiple body burnings to be discussed in the next part of this study. This 25 minute figure is not far from the Prüfer estimate cited in the prior paragraph.
Mattogno totally ignored this information. Rather, he focused on the November 8 information which shows 72 bodies burned. He erroneously claimed
that it took 24½ hours to burn these bodies. He has misread the time sheets.
The actual burning time for these bodies was between 16 and 17 hours.”

“One of the factors I noted in the study is that the ovens >VLF@ were still
undergoing repairs at the time these efficiencies were being achieved (Body,
note 118). Thus on November 6, 7 and 8 there were four hours of repairs on
the oven each day. Yet the ovens were able to incinerate 57, 94 and 72 bodies
on these days. These numbers suggest very high efficiencies even when undergoing repairs.”

“For example, on 8 and 9 November 72 corpses were cremated in around
1,470 minutes with a total consumption of 2,100 kg of coke, that is, on average 29.1 kg per corpse. This means that in each muffle (72÷2=) 36 loads of
corpses were introduced with a cremation time of about 41 minutes per
load.”

“There is not as much correspondence after October 1941 because there
was no further oven installation until January 1945 in Mauthausen. Prior to
November 1941 there had been two installations in Gusen – the original one
in February 1941 and the overhaul in October 1941. This is what accounts
for so much correspondence. However, there is enough paper trail in the file
to show that no overhaul could have occurred from November 1941 to August 1943, and probably none occurred after August 1943.”

“So far 200 cremation were carried out in the electric furnace. The fireproof bricks still look like new, which cannot be said for a coke furnace after
this number of incinerations. >«@
The heat distribution of this furnace is more even, which contributes to the
increase of its life span.”

neu, was beim Koksofen nach dieser Zahl von Einäscherungen nicht gesagt werden durfte.
>«@ Der Ofen hat daher eine gleichmässigere Wärmeverteilung, was zur Erhöhung seiner
Lebensdauer beiträgt.”

“The real dilemma for Mattogno was in the Bauleitung figures given on June
28, 1943, discussed earlier, that 4,416 bodies could be burned in a 24 hour
period in the four new crematoria, or 2,208 in a 12 hour period. When the
7,840 kilograms of coke usage for a 12 hour period are divided by the 2,208
bodies which could be cremated in a 12 hour period, the average comes out
to about 3,5 kilograms per body.”

“In the study (Body, 12) I cited an article by camp historian Danuta Czech
that the negotiations for the four crematoria began in July 1942, before the
announcement of planned expansion to 200,000 on August 15.
Elsewhere, Czech cites a Bauleitung>@ document from July 1, 1942 as follows:
‘The Central Construction Office of the Waffen SS and Police in Auschwitz
contacts the companies that have already carried out building contracts
in Auschwitz Concentration Camp. It asks the Huta (Engineering Company) and Lenz Industrial Construction Company of Silesia, located in
Kattowitz to submit proposals to build new crematoriums.’ (emphasis
added)
Mattogno’s response is to cite the following Aktenvermerk of August 21, reproduced by Jean-Claude Pressac:
‘Regarding the construction of a 2nd crematorium with five three-muffle
furnaces, together with the ventilation and air extraction systems, it will
be necessary to await the results of negotiations already under way with
the Reich Main Security Office on the subject of rationed materials’ (Italics added).
Mattogno then announces:

‘Therefore, no decision to construct Crematory II had yet been made (by
August 21)’ (Reply, 7, emphasis added).
Before continuing, I need to strongly stress that nowhere in the body disposal study did I ever state the contract negotiations for any of the crematoria were completed or when any final decisions were made. I only stated, on
the basis of Czech, when they began, and in a footnote, when the authorization was given to begin (Body, note 80).”

“The most informative comparison of oven needs versus camp expansion
comes from the Dachau concentration camp. Dachau had six ovens. A total
of 22,675 prisoners arrived at Dachau in 1940; 6,255 in 1941, 12,572 in
1942, 19,358 in 1943 and over 76,000 in 1944. Therefore, the prisoner population of the camp had reached over 41,000 by the end of 1942, over 60,000
by the end of 1943 and over 137,000 by the end of 1944. By contrast, the
registered Auschwitz camp population never reached more than 92,000 –
112,000, if 20,000 transit prisoners to be shipped to other camps are counted
in the summer of 1944. Moreover, there were typhus epidemics in Dachau
in the winters of 1942-43 and 1943-44. Therefore, Dachau should have undergone a dramatic expansion of its cremation capacity, if the ‘denier’ arguments about Auschwitz are correct. Thus, at a time of typhus epidemics
and a doubling of Dachau’s camp population, there were never more than
six ovens. Why did Auschwitz need 52 ovens and Dachau only six?”

“In the body disposal study I cited data from Gusen. Let us now look at the
Gusen data and Mattogno’s response. In 1944 Gusen expanded from two to
three camps, but did not add any ovens. Figures for Gusen show that 14,500
entered the camp in 1940 and 1941, 6,000 in 1942, 9,100 in 1943, 22,300 in
1944 and 15,600 in 1945. Death rates from 1940 to 1945 were very high.
From 1940 to 1944 slightly less than 25,000 of the 52,000 prisoners who
entered the camp died. The population of the camp exceeded 22,000 by September 1944. Yet there was never more than one double muffle oven in
Gusen. As noted earlier, the Mauthausen authorities ordered another double
muffle for Gusen, but never installed it.”

“Not surprisingly, Mattogno did not reveal some crucial information about
the installation of the additional six ovens in Buchenwald. Shortly after the
installation of these ovens the camp began to undergo a dramatic expansion
in its population. It rose from 9,500 at the end of 1942 to over 37,000 by the
end of 1943. Buchenwald continued to grow until by September 1944 it held
over 84,000 prisoners. Seen in light of the actual growth of the camp, the
new six ovens were not unusual. The Buchenwald authorities certainly must
have anticipated this growth when the oven additions were made.”

“More importantly, I also noted that during the period of the typhus epidemic when the camp experienced its highest death rate for registered prisoners, the camp population remained static at about 30,000. I cited a Bauleitung report dated July 15, 1942 – twelve days after the typhus epidemic
hit the camp – which stated that for the time being the camp population

“In my disposal study I had supposed that Mattogno received any information he had about this topic from John Ball. In the article Mattogno wrote
with Franco Deana he had twice referred his readers to an article by Ball
when discussing the grave sites in the area outside of the camp that appear
on the May 31 photo. He wrote: ‘John Ball demonstrates in the present volume that air photos taken of Auschwitz by the Allies show no traces of incineration in pits.’
I was able to show that Ball has lied consistently about these photos. Mattogno now states (Reply, 3) that he possesses all of the aerial and surface
photographs of Auschwitz from 1944. This is quite a revelation since he has
given no less than three different versions of what is on this photo. Mattogno
writes that ‘if I change opinion concerning interpretation of specific points,
that depends only upon progression of my studies, and not due to the fact
that later books have published documents which I have already possessed’
(Reply, 3). But since he already had these photos, one wonders what could
have changed on them to give varying accounts of their contents. Did he

actually examine them or did he rely on Ball? I strongly suspect that Mattogno was deceived by Ball but is now too embarrassed to admit.”

“We set off in the direction of the thick twisting spiral of smoke. All those
unfortunate enough to be brought here saw this column of smoke, which
was visible from any point in the KZ, from the moment they first descended
from the box cars and lined up for selection. It was visible at every hour
of the day and night. By day it covered the sky above Birkenau with a thick
cloud; by night it lighted the area with a hellish glow.” P\HPSKDVLV

“The fact that smoke appears only in the courtyard of Crematorium V, and
not from the crematoria chimneys, supposing that the smoke comes from a
cremation facility, means only that this was the only facility then in operation; it is possible that they had recourse to such a facility when there was a
shortfall in coke for the crematory ovens or when the crematoria were shut
down for repairs.
Danuta Czech writes in her Kalendarium that corpses of Gypsies alleged to
have been homicidally gassed on 2 August 1944, were cremated out in the
open because the crematory ovens at that time were not working (‘Denn die
Krematoriumsöfen sind zu der Zeit nicht in Betrieb’)”

“Normal crematoria work with pre-warmed air so that the corpse burns
quickly and without smoke. As the crematoria in the concentration camps
were constructed differently, this procedure could not be used. The corpses
burned more slowly and created more smoke, necessitating ventilation.”

“An Auschwitz-Birkenau oven had the capacity to burn between 10,000 and
15,000 bodies. Since the Krema IV ovens went down shortly after being
placed in operation, the 44 remaining ovens probably burned about half of
the 1.1 million killed in the camp.
This estimate is based on the information available on the Gusen ovens after
their overhaul in 1941, the Enek-Tek II data cited by Mattogno, the multiple
cremation testimony I cited by Sonderkommando Henryk Tauber – who
noted that the authorities had ways to place the bodies in the ovens to maximize efficiency (Body, 28) – and the method of burning in 25 minutes, instead of the usual 50 or 60 minutes, mentioned earlier in this response.”

“That the so-called incineration procedure (crémation) was satisfactory
cannot be claimed with the certainty the chemist Créteur thinks it can. The
success of the procedure was not at all an incineration in the chemical sense,
but merely a carbonization; but even the latter, which in and of itself would
suffice for hygienic purposes, was not reached to the degree that was necessary to render the corpses harmless. Before the corpse parts could be ignited, the hydrocarbons of the tar had to be burned. But as a result of this
the O >2[\JHQ@ content of the air was reduced to such a degree that only a
small part was left over for the carbonization, which in addition could have
a direct carbonization effect only if the corpse parts had already lost a major
part of their water content. As a result of this only the corpse parts at the
surface were carbonized, the content in the depth, however, to which O could
not get (and that is particularly true for mass graves), was not at all or only
to a minor degree involved in that process. The flesh in lower parts was at
best roasted by the influence of the heat.”

“Holocaust History Project member and computer programmer Mark Van
Alstine has examined the May 31 photo for the author and confirms Brugioni’s observation that the White Bunker is in the wooded area where the
eyewitnesses say it was. He has identified three burning pits in the area of
the White Bunker (Mattogno states that there were four).
Van Alstine is able to confirm from the photo the existence of three huts that
were used for prisoners undressing near the White Bunker. Recall that Hoess
wrote that there were three huts near the White Bunker.”

length of these excavations is between 1,200 and 1,500 feet. All appear to
have recently been covered over, since no shadows are evident. These excavations have the classic appearance of a mass grave site…’
Mattogno claimed that these grave sites had ceased being used in 1943 with
the completion of the four crematoria. However, Luca’s observation about
their recently being bulldozed shows that they were in current use.”

“First, it is impossible to tell how many Sonderkommandos were involved in
this burning operation because the total area of Krema V is not shown in the
photo. For all we know, there could have been an additional hundred
Sonderkommandos dragging bodies from Krema V.
It is impossible to tell how many additional Sonderkommandos and bodies
were involved because the photo simply does not cover the total relevant
area from Krema V to the pits. >«@
Second, and more importantly, it is impossible to tell how many bodies are
being burned because smoke is obscuring the pits. For all Mattogno knows
there could have been hundreds of additional bodies being burned. The
photo shows 50 corpses – not the 30 claimed by Mattogno from the incomplete photo – which have not yet been burned. The thick smoke from the
photo shows that a significant burning operation is underway. This means
that there were more bodies than the 30 mentioned by Mattogno.”

“In the article he wrote with Franco Deana and cited throughout the body
disposal study, he had admitted to outdoor burnings in the area outside of
the camp, but only for the period prior to the building of the crematoria in
March 1943. This area, as noted by Mattogno, is visible on the May 31, 1944
photo. The problem is as follows: since there already was an area available
for these burnings, why was it necessary to create a second area near Krema
V?”

“Mattogno attacks me on this point because the memo states that the special
action will take place among ‘all civilian workers.’ He writes: ‘If the Zimmerman interpretation is correct, the Gestapo executed all civilian workers’
(Reply, 10). Wrong. I would point out in this respect that it would be possible
to carry out executions among all classes of civilian workers involved in the
strike without executing all of the civilian workers.”

“Internal Decree (Hausverfugung: >VLF@) No. 108.
This is a reminder of decree Number 35 of June 19, 1942.
As is stated in this decree SS-Lieutenant Colonel Dejaco>@ is personally
responsible that all in and outgoing plans are registered in an orderly fashion in a specific book. All outgoing plans have to be signed by the person
receiving them.
Furthermore, all this work is related to econo-military tasks that must be
kept secret.
Specifically, the plans for the crematoria must be strictly controlled (strengstens zu beaufsichtigen). No plans are to be passed to the work brigade of
others. During the construction work they are to be kept under lock and
key... In particular attention should be paid to the regulations of D.V. 91
(secret matters/documents). (Vorschluss >VLF@ –Sachen).”

“Lastly, the Auschwitz-Birkenau furnaces used compressed air which was
injected into them to enhance the burning. The fact that this can save a great
deal of fuel was noted by the Engineer Mueller, who in 1937 planned a crematorium for the Dachau concentration camp.”

“It is maintained that 3,500 cremations have been carried out at Hamburg
with a total coke consumption of 100 m3 >WREHH[DFW@. This is disputable, first of all because, according to statements made independently to me
in Hamburg by two stokers who run the furnace, normal gas consumption is
7 m3, perhaps even a little more. >«@
Should the assertions on cremation without supplementary gas be precise,
the temperature of the exhaust gas>@ would have to be equal to the ambient
temperature, which no technical expert on combustion can seriously maintain, since in thermal balance the inevitable losses of heat from the exhaust
gas and the cold air which flows in when the coffin is introduced>@ are
disadvantages which cannot be avoided.”

“1. How reliable is the source of the claim? Deniers may appear quite reliable as they cite facts and figures, but closer examination often reveals these
details have been distorted or taken out of context.
2. Has this source made other claims that were clearly exaggerated? If an
individual is known to have stretched the facts before, it obviously undermines his or her credibility. >@
3. Has another source verified the claim? Typically deniers will make statements that are unverified or verified only by another denier. >@ Outside
verification is crucial to good science and good history.
4. How does the claim fit with what we know about the world and how it
works? >@.
5. Has anyone, including and especially the claimant, gone out of the way to
disprove the claim, or has only confirmatory evidence been sought? This is
what is known as ‘confirmation bias,’ or the tendency to seek confirmatory
evidence and reject disconfirming evidence. >@.
6. In the absence of clearly defined proof, does the preponderance of evidence converge on the claimant’s conclusion or a different one? Deniers do
not look for evidence that converges on a conclusion; they look for evidence
that fits their ideology. In examining their various eyewitness accounts of
the gassing of prisoners at Auschwitz, for example, we find a consistent core
to the stories, leading to a strong theory of what happened. Deniers, in contrast, pick up on minor discrepancies in the eye-witness reports and blow
these up as anomalies that disconfirm the theory. Instead of reviewing the
*(50$558'2/)&$5/20$772*12ā AUSCHWITZ LIES
evidence as a whole, they focus on any detail that supports their point of
view.
7. Is the claimant employing the accepted rules of reason and tools of research or only ones that lead to the desired conclusions? >@.
8. Has the claimant provided a different explanation for the observed phenomena rather than just denying the existing explanation? >@.
9. If the claimant has proffered a new explanation, does it account for as
many phenomena as the old explanation does? >@.
10. Do the claimant’s personal beliefs and biases drive the conclusions or
vice versa?” SS

“Deniers are routinely unreliable in their selection of the historical facts.
They often make outrageous claims. The claims are rarely verified by other
sources, and when they are, these sources are often incestuous. Deniers almost never attempt to disprove their claims and, instead, seek only confirmatory evidence. They generally do not play by the agreed-upon rules of historical scholarship, offer no alternative theory to account for the historical
data, and thus can muster no convergence of evidence for their nonexistent
theory >VLF@. Finally, as we have demonstrated with a preponderance of evidence, Holocaust deniers’ personal beliefs and biases dictate their conclusions.” S

“In a 1987 publication, for example, he >)DXULVVRQ@ claimed that British
Holocaust historian Martin Gilbert had misstated the size of a gas chamber
in order to make it fit an eyewitness account of the number of Jews gassed
there on a particular occasion. Faurisson failed to take into account the
simple fact that eyewitness details may be inadvertently inaccurate (in this
case possibly exaggerated) and thus perhaps Gilbert’s source was incorrect.”

“He made a similar blunder over his analysis of the famous Gerstein document. Kurt Gerstein was an SS officer involved in ordering Zyklon-B gas
used for both delousing and homicide who, before he died in captivity after
the war, gave testimony to the homicidal use of the fumigant. Faurisson and
others looked for internal contradictions in his confession, claiming, for example, that the number of victims packed into the gas chambers could not
have physically fit. It turns out that Faurisson was basing his estimates on
the number of people who fit comfortably into a subway car; others (including deniers) have since disproved his estimates.” SSI

“Faurisson indicates that there are traces of Zyklon-B in general buildings
that were fumigated as well as in the gas chambers; so he concludes that
traces of Zyklon-B prove nothing about the homicidal use of gas chambers.
According to the pharmacist and extermination camp expert Jean-Claude
Pressac, however, Faurisson’s defense does not make sense since buildings
and morgues are normally disinfected with antiseptics, whether solid (lime,
lime chloride), liquid (bleach, cresol), or gas (formaldehyde, sulfur anhydride)” SHPSKDVLVDGGHG

“>«@ acknowledges that the extant ruins have been exposed to the elements
but then wonders why Zyklon-B blue staining remains on the outside of the
brick gas chamber at Majdanek, against which the Nazis beat clothing and
blankets to remove the gas residue.” S

“Wouldn’t these blue stains have washed away in the weather as at Auschwitz? His question sounds reasonable, but when we visited Majdanek we
could see that the blue staining on the outside bricks is minimal. Moreover,
a roof overhang has protected the bricks from rain and snow, so that the
bricks at Majdanek are nowhere near as weathered as the open rubble at
Auschwitz.” S

“When a question or a statement has no grounding in evidence, it becomes
just a rhetorical device and requires no answer. Consider, as yet another
example, Cole’s claim that at Mauthausen the door of the gas chamber does
not lock. True, the present door does not lock, but that is irrelevant because
it is not the original door. All we had to do to find out that fact was ask.”

“What about the ‘evidence’ that Cole, Leuchter and Faurisson do present,
such as their ‘finding’ that the residue from Zyklon-B in the gas chamber at
Crematorium I at Auschwitz (the original camp converted from a Polish
army barracks) does not reach a level consistent with extermination? Significantly, they fail to mention in their writings that this building was reconstructed using both original materials and those from other buildings. Who
knows what they actually ‘tested’ in their research?”

“David Cole, in his documentary of his visit to Auschwitz, dramatically proclaims that he got the museum director to ‘confess’ that the gas chamber
was a reconstruction and thus a ‘lie’ thrust upon an unwitting public. We
see this as classic denier hyperbole and ideological flag waving. No one at
Auschwitz – from the guides to the director – denies that the gas chamber
there is a reconstruction. A visitor has only to ask.” S

“Here, in front of the gas chamber, I asked Alicia about the authenticity of
that building.
Cole: Now, let’s start again talking about this building here.
Alicia: This is a crematorium/gas chamber.
Cole: But this is a reconstruction?
Alicia: It is in >LWV@ original state.
Now there Alicia has very clearly represented the gas chamber as being in
its original state. Once inside, I asked her specifically about the holes in the
ceiling.
Cole: Are these the original four holes in the ceiling?

example, of SS-man Pery Broad who, in 1945, drew up for the English a
memorandum on Auschwitz where he had been active as a member of the
Politische Abteilung, i.e. of the Gestapo. He speaks of himself in the third

“For example, in the initial stages of the extermination of Hungarian Jews,
Crematorium V had to be shut down due to a breakdown of the chimneys. As
a result, some bodies were incinerated in Crematorium IV. The remainder
was burned at the rate of about 5,000 corpses in 24 hours in the incineration
pits of bunker 2, which was reactivated in the spring of 1944.”

“The original block measures 9.2
meters by 3.62 meters by 2.05 meters high. Casual inspection of the
large gas chamber room shows
that its use was for delousing
clothing and blankets, not for mass
extermination, since the doors to it
open in, they do not (and cannot)
lock, and there is a large glass

to be original, since the wood from which it is constructed is saturated with
blue Zyklon-B stains (as is the rest of the room).” S

“The SS then built the two smaller concrete gas chambers with iron doors
(in the back of the building and at that time separate from the other rooms),
and these additions, we believe, were for the express purpose of gassing
prisoners. Why else would the SS have built these new rooms that featured
peepholes and locking doors, components not found in any delousing chamber? >«@ Finally, we know that carbon monoxide was employed in the Bad

“It is not enough for deniers to concoct an alternative explanation that
amounts to nothing more than denying each piece of freestanding evidence.
They must proffer a theory that not only explains all of the evidence but does
so in a manner superior to the present theory. This they have not done. Our
conclusion stands on this bedrock of scientific history.” S

“When historians talk about the ‘Holocaust’, what they mean on the most
general level is that about six million Jews were killed in an intentional and
systematic fashion by the Nazis using a number of different means, including
gas chambers. According to this widely accepted definition of the Holocaust,
so-called Holocaust revisionists are in effect denying the Holocaust, since
they deny its three key components – the killing of six million, gas chambers,
and intentionality.” S;9

“For example, they >WKH³GHQLHUV´@ often cite the fact that Franciszek Piper,
the head of the Department of Holocaust Studies at the Auschwitz-Birkenau
State Museum, has refined the number killed at Auschwitz from four million
to a little more than one million, arguing that this proves their case. But they
fail to note that at the same time the numbers have been revised up – for
example, the number of Jews murdered by the Einsatzgruppen during and
after the invasion of the Soviet Union. The net result of the number of Jews
killed – approximately six million – has not changed.” S;9,

dead in Soviet corrective labor camps during 1939-1959, (4) civilian Jewish
dead in the battle zone, particularly in the besieged cities of Leningrad and
Odessa, and (5) deaths caused by privation among Jews who had fled or
who had been evacuated for reasons other than fear of German anti-Jewish
acts.”

“In pursuance of these endeavors, an accelerated emigration of the Jews
from the territory of the Reich was seen as the only temporary solution and
was accordingly embarked upon in an intensified and systematic manner.
On instruction of the Reich Marshal >i.e.*|ULQJ@, a Reich Central Office for
Jewish Emigration was established in January 1939; its direction was entrusted to the Head of the Security Police and the Security Service (SD). Its
particular tasks were:
a) to take measures for the preparation of increased Jewish emigration,
b) to direct the flow of emigration,
c) to speed up the emigration process in individual cases.
The aim of this task was to purge German living space of Jews by legal
means.”

“In part III we glimpse a smoking gun. Eichmann announces that a new plan
has been devised: ‘Another possible solution of the problem has now taken
the place of emigration, i.e., the evacuation of the Jews to the East.’ Evacuation is a not-so-veiled code for sending them to their death in the eastern
camps. Why make this assumption? Eichmann had just described the first
two attempts at solving the Jewish question, both of which he said were inadequate, followed by ‘another solution.’” SI

“The remnant that eventually remains will require suitable treatment; because it will without doubt represent the most resistant part, it consists of a
natural selection that could, on its release, become the germ-cell of a new

“The ‘evacuation of the Jews’ Eichmann describes cannot mean simple deportation to live elsewhere, since the Nazis had already been deporting Jews
to the east, and Eichmann indicates this was inadequate. Instead, he outlines
a new solution. Shipment to the east will mean, for those who can work, work
until death, and (as we know from other sources) for those who cannot work,
immediate death. What about those who can work and do not succumb to
death? ‘The remnant that eventually remains will require suitable treatment’. Suitable treatment can only mean murder.” SSI

“The term ‘Vernichtung’ (annihilation, destruction) referred to the absolutely negative attitude towards a Jewish presence in the Reich. Being absolute, this attitude embraced the readiness, if necessary, to go to extreme
ends. The term in question did not mean that one had already reached the
stage of an extermination nor did it signify that there was a deliberate intention to arrive there.
A few days before the speech quoted >WKHVSHHFKRI-DQXDU\@, Hitler
received the Foreign Minister of Czechoslovakia. He reproached his guest
for the lack of energy on the part of the Prague government in its efforts to
reach an understanding with the Reich and recommended to him, in particular, energetic measures against the Jews.
In this regard, he declared for example: ‘Over here, they are being annihilated’ (bei uns werden sie vernichtet). Are we to believe that, during a diplomatic conversation, which would be recorded in the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hitler would have confidentially alluded to a massacre in the Third Reich – which, moreover, would have been incorrect for
that moment in time?
Two years later, on January 30, 1941, Hitler returned to his ‘prophecy’ of
1939. But this time, he explained the meaning as follows: ‘… and I do not
wish to forget the indication I have given once before in the Reichstag,
namely that if the rest of the world (die andere Welt) is driven into a war,
Judaism will have completely ended its role in Europe…’
In his conversation with the Czechoslovak minister, Hitler mentioned England and the United States which, in his opinion, would be in a position to
offer regions suitable for Jewish settlers.
In January of 1941 he stated that the role of the Jews in Europe would come
to an end and added that this would come about because the other European
peoples would understand this need for their own countries. At that time,
one believed in the creation of a Jewish reserve. But for Hitler such a reserve
was acceptable only outside of Europe. >7KXV@ we have just noted that, on
January 30, 1941, Hitler did nothing but announce the liquidation of the role
of the Jews in Europe.”

“The Governor General then spoke of the possibility of the expulsion of the
Jewish population from the Government General into the occupied territories. Reichsminister Rosenberg remarked that such aspects had already
been brought to his attention by the Paris military administration.>@
At the moment, though, he did not see any possibility for the implementation
of such transfer plans. However, for the future, he was ready to favor Jewish
emigration to the east, all the more so as it was already intended to send to
those sparsely settled eastern territories especially the asocial elements existing within the territory of the Reich.”

“The Jewish question in Europe has also completely changed. The Führer
once said in a Reichstag speech: If Judaism ever causes a war of extermination of the Aryan peoples, it would not be the Aryan peoples who would be
exterminated, but Judaism. The Jew is being evacuated from Germany; he
now lives in the east >³OHEWLP2VWHQ´@ and works on our roads, our railways
and so on. That process has been implemented coherently, but without cruelty.”

“His evidence for this is a quote from Hitler, recorded by Bormann’s adjutant Heinrich Heim on the day of October 25, 1941:
‘From the rostrum of the Reichstag I prophesied to Jewry that if war could
not be avoided, the Jews would disappear from Europe. That race of criminals already had on its conscience the two million dead of the Great War,
and now it has hundreds of thousands more. Let nobody tell me that despite
that >ZH@ cannot park them in the marshy parts of Russia! Our troops are
there as well, and who worries about them! By the way – it’s not a bad
thing that public rumor attributes to us a plan to exterminate Jews.’” S

“In Hitler’s War Irving reproduces Himmler’s telephone notes of November
30, 1941, after Hitler requested a meeting with him, showing that the SS
chief telephoned Reinhard Heydrich (head of the RSHA) at 1:30 P.M. ‘from
Hitler’s bunker at the Wolf’s Lair >:ROIVFKDQ]H@, ordering that there was to
be ‘no liquidating’ of Jews (see figure 37).’ Taking this ‘snapshot’ out of its
historical context, Irving concludes: ‘The Führer had ordered that the Jews
were not to be liquidated’. But let’s re-view this snapshot in the sequence of
frames around it. As Raul Hilberg points out, a more accurate translation of
the log is ‘Jewish transport from Berlin. No liquidation’. In other words,
Himmler is referring to one particular transport, not all Jews. And, ironically, says Hilberg (and Irving concurs in Hitler’s War), ‘that transport was
liquidated! That order was either ignored, or it was too late. The transport
had already arrived in Riga and they didn’t know what to do with these thousand people so they shot them that very same evening.’” S

“Starting in December of 1940 >DFWXDOO\@, Jewish transports from the
Reich arrived at short intervals. 20,000 Jews were directed to Riga and
7,000 to Minsk. The first 10,000 Jews evacuated to Riga were housed partly
in a temporary reception camp, partly in a new barrack camp built in the
vicinity of Riga. The other transports were settled mainly in a separate section of the Riga ghetto.
The construction of the barrack camp is implemented by the use of all the
Jews fit for work in such a way that those who survive the winter can be
settled in this camp.
Of the Jews coming from the Reich, only a very small portion is fit for work.
Some 70% to 80% are women and children, as well as old people unfit for
work. The mortality rate is going up continuously, also because of the extremely severe winter.
The performance of the few Jews from the Reich who are able to work is
satisfactory. They are preferred over the Russian Jews on account of their
German language and their relatively more pronounced cleanliness.
The capacity of the Jews in trying to adapt their lives to the circumstances
is extraordinary. The crowding of the Jews into minute living spaces, which
is the case in all ghettos, obviously generates a risk of epidemics, against
which measures in the widest way are being undertaken with the aid of Jewish doctors. In rare cases, contagious Jews have been removed and shot,
under the pretext of taking them to a clinic or a Jewish hospital.”

If the prosecutor had not intervened, they would have finished me off – not

“The French revisionist Robert Faurisson repeats it over and over again;
David Irving also used it in this sense. Despite the uncouth nature of this
quip, the core of it is the question whether or not each of the smaller basement rooms of the Crematoria II and III in the extermination camp Birkenau
was used as a gas chamber.
In the larger basement room, situated along the axis of the crematorium
building above ground, the victims had to undress before they were pressed,
sometimes up to 1000 of them, into the small basement room of some 210
square meters, which was perpendicular to the other. Then SS men threw
the poison, hydrogen cyanide bound on diatomaceous earth (Zyklon B),
through openings in the ceiling into wire mesh columns in the basement.
Within half an hour, the hydrogen cyanide evaporated due to the heat of the
bodies and killed every human life.”

“Faurisson, Irving & Co. claim that there were no openings in the roof.
Therefore, no Zyklon B could have been thrown into the murder chambers.
Hence, the Holocaust is an invention.”

“In the journal ‘Holocaust and Genocide Studies,’ three coworkers of the
research network ‘Holocaust History Project’>@ exhaustingly clarify the
question of the holes in the roof. Daniel Keren, Jamie McCarthy, and Harry
W. Mazal have investigated the ruins of both gas chambers in Birkenau as
well as the gas chamber in the Auschwitz Main Camp.
Their result matches exactly the circumstantial evidence known and preserved so far: the smaller basement room of Crematorium II had four openings in its roof measuring roughly 60 centimeters in square. >«@The U.S.
scientist could identify three of four openings in the ruins; the fourth is covered by debris. All alleged ‘arguments’ of the Auschwitz deniers are thus
refuted on the basis of physically provable facts: The smaller basement
rooms of both crematorium buildings were equipped with gas chambers and
were used as such to kill hundreds of thousands of human beings. The case
of the openings in the roof of the gas chamber in the crematorium of the
Main Camp is a little more complicated. >«@”

“Two inpours >Einschütten@were in each of these gassing rooms (of Krematorium one and two in Birkenau, G.F.): inside four iron pipes each from
the floor to the roof. These were surrounded by steel wire mesh, and inside
was a sheet metal with a low edge. To this a wire was attached, with which
the sheet metal could be pulled up to the roof. An iron lid was attached to
each inpour >Einschütte@at the roof. If the lid was raised, the tin container
could be pulled up and the gas could be poured in. Then the container was
lowered and the lid closed.”

the sides of which contained numerous perforations, like a wire lattice. >@
The Deputy Health Officer held four green sheet-iron canisters. He advanced across the grass, where, every thirty yards,>@ short concrete pipes
jutted up from the ground. Having donned his gas mask, he lifted the lid of
the pipe, which was also made of concrete. He opened one of the cans and
poured the contents – a mauve granulated material – into the opening. The
granulated substance fell in a lump to the bottom. The gas it produced escaped through the perforations, and within a few seconds filled the room in
which the deportees were stacked. Within five minutes everybody was dead.”

the execution of the Jews with anyone. Upon his return to Auschwitz he began working on the plans for extermination facilities by instructing his construction chief (whose name was Bischoff). He ordered Bischoff to begin
work on a large crematorium, the plans of which were sent to Himmler. Subsequently, Höss figured out the changes needed to convert the crematorium
into a homicidal facility, and sent them to Himmler. The changes were approved.” SSI

“I visited the camp Treblinka in Spring 1942 to inform myself about the conditions. The following method was used in the process of extermination.
Small chambers were used equipped with pipes to induce exhaust gas from
car engines. This method was unreliable as the engines, coming from old
captured transport vehicles and tanks, very often failed to work. Because of
that the intakes could not be dealt with according to the plan, which meant
to clear the Warsaw Ghetto. According to the Camp Commandant of Treblinka 80,000 people have been gassed in the course of half a year.”

1941. At that time, three other extermination facilities already existed in the
Government General: Belzek, Treblinka, and Wolzek. These camps were under the jurisdiction of the Einsatzkommando of the Security Police and the
SD. I visited Treblinka to determine how the exterminations are being executed. The camp commander of Treblinka told me that he has liquidated
80,000 within half a year. His main task was the liquidation of all the Jews
from the Warsaw ghetto. He used carbon monoxide gas, and according to
him his method was not efficient. When I erected the extermination building
in Auschwitz, I therefore used Zyclon B, a crystalline blue acid >VLF@, which
we threw into the death chamber through small openings.”

“We do not see why this would be so. We have already seen that Höss could
not even tell his SS architect about the building’s real purpose, and we can
observe that all of the blueprints call that gas chamber ‘morgue 1.’ >@ So
we see no problem with this method being the method of creating Zyklon B
holes in the roof of morgue 1.” S

“Among other things made in the locksmith’s workshop were the fake showers intended for the gas chambers, as well as the columns of wire netting for
introducing the contents of cans of Zyklon into the gas chambers. This column had a height of 3 meters with a square cross-section (width) of about
70 cm. Such a column was constituted of three nets, one inside the other. The
outside net was made of 3 mm iron wire stretched over angle irons measuring 50 mm x 10 mm. These angle irons were found all over the net and the
upper and lower parts were linked by an angle iron of the same type. The
mesh of the nets was square, measuring 45 mm. The second net was constructed in the same way and was inserted into the interior of the first at a
distance of about 150 mm. The mesh of this net was square and measured
about 25 mm. Both nets on angle irons were connected by an iron bar. The
third part of the column was movable. It was an empty column made of a
thin zinc lamina with a square section of about 150 mm. At the top it terminated in a cone and below in a flat square base. Angle irons of sheet metal
were welded onto a thin bar of sheet metal at a distance of about 25 mm
from the edge of this column. On these angle irons a thin net was stretched
with square mesh of about 1 mm. This net ended at the base of the cone and
from there toward the upper extension of the net ran a framework of sheet
metal along the full height to the vertex of the cone. A can of Zyklon was
poured from above into the distribution cone and thus a uniform distribution

“The vault of the gas chamber rested on concrete pillars along the center of
its length. On the left and on the right of these pillars there were four columns. The outside part of these columns was made of grills of thick steel
wire that went up to the ceiling and into the exterior. Inside>@this part was
a second net with smaller mesh and holes, and in its interior a third >QHW@
was planted. In this third net a box was moved by means of which, using a
steel wire, the powder – from which the gas had by now evaporated – was
withdrawn.”

“when violent stress is put on a concrete structure, cracks show up passing
through holes made previous to the violent force, since the holes makes the
structure weaker in that location.” S

“An opening pierced through the concrete in the roof of either morgue 1
(‘gas chamber’) in consideration at a later time would inevitably have had
the consequence, when the building was blown up, that the breaks and fissures caused to the roof by the explosion would have run preferentially
through these holes.
The reason for this is that explosions exert extraordinarily great forces, and
that the formation of cracks is favored by any weakness in the structure,
since the tension peaks attain very high values in the vicinity of acute angles
(notch effect, see Fig. 48). Such holes, in particular, which would already
have damaged the structure of the concrete due to their incorporation following completion of the structure, represent not only points of likely fracture, but points of inevitable fracture.”

“According to the testimony of the witness Schultze, the Zyklon B holes were
only some 25 cm square when he saw them (in 1943). We do not see why a
small hole couldn’t be made much larger after suffering a violent shock of a
massive explosion, so violent as to lift the entire southern end of the roof into
the air high enough to smash a hole in the roof at Pillar 1 on the way down.
If some of the holes in the nearby oven room were entirely destroyed in the
explosion, we think it reasonable to suppose the cause for Hole 2 being so
large now, is the same demolition work. Bear in mind that the explosions
which occurred were strong enough to open holes in the ceiling where none
had been before, and one will recognize the power to make a smaller hole
bigger. So we posit a smaller hole originally, made larger by the explosives.” SSI

few years ago, the rebars originally running west to east were merely cut at
the western end and pulled up and over toward the east. (This was true,

observed, have been removed). The Germans would have never constructed
a poison gas aperture like this, since it could not be airtight.” S

“We had first set up a furnace in the crematorium. I myself did the openings
in the ceiling of the morgue where the first Soviet POWs were gassed. I saw
these Russians when they were taken >WKHUH@. They stood in the street near
the block leader’s room between the present hotel and the crematorium, hundreds of them, naked, waiting to be gassed. I saw SS >PHQ@ dropping the gas
through the openings into the morgue.”

“View of the roof of Krematorium I, looking south-north, 1945 (May?). The
chimney has not yet been rebuilt. The features of the roof are:
– two ventilation chimneys for the furnace room (two-tone with a dark cap)
– two other brick chimneys, probably for ventilating the air-raid shelter in
view of their newly-built appearance
– in addition, on a line parallel to – and to the left of – that on which the
two brick chimneys are built, it is possible to see THREE places where
the former traps for introducing Zyklon-B have been filled, thus indicating that the morgue had been used as a gas chamber.
Above the stage, dominated by a red star with the hammer and sickle, fly the
flags of Poland (left) and the Soviet Union (right), with lamps mounted
above them.
This photograph proves that a dance was organized in 1945 on the roof of
Krematorium I, and that people actually danced above the homicidal gas
chamber. This episode appears almost unbelievable and sadly regrettable,
and the motives for it are not known. This photo also proves that the present
covering of roofing felt and the zinc surround of the roof are not original.”

“I remember perfectly well that the openings for the introduction of Zyklon
B, which were located on the flat roof of this crematorium, were also remade.>@ The reconstruction was made easier by the fact that at the locations
of the former insertion openings there remained clear traces after the sealing of the former openings with cement. At these very points, the openings
were re-established and the little chimneys>@ were raised. This work, too,
was done in 1946 – 1947.”

21. This shows the building at a time while it was allegedly used for homicidal gassings. Note: The door from the
morgue (“gas chamber”) to the furnace room swings through to both sides – it could not have served as a gas chamber door, as such a door could neither be made gas-tight nor panic-proof!

“The vault of the gas chamber rested on concrete pillars which were arranged lengthwise in the center. There were four columns right and left of
these pillars. The outer part of these columns was made of a grid of thick
wire which extended to the ceiling and to the outside. Within>@ this part there
was a second netting with smaller mesh and openings and on the inside of
this a third, dense, netting. In this third netting a can moved by means of a
wire, with which the powder was extracted from which the gas had now
evaporated.”

from the window in the ceiling down to the floor, and the poison gas was
dropped through this hollow pillar, in the form of little pebbles. Then the
smell would spread, that was the gas.
>*UHLI@ Did the grid column through which the gas was dropped reach all
the way down to the floor?
>&KD]DQ@ Nearly to the floor. One had left a space which made it possible to
clean there. One poured water out and brushed up the remaining pebbles.”

“The smudges are too large to belong just to the holes themselves. They
probably correspond to the tamping down of a trail on the roof by the SS
men detailed to introduce the canisters. The photograph shows the smudges
alternating slightly, Holes 1 and 3 to the west, 2 and 4 to the east. A
Sonderkommando survivor, Henryk Tauber, considered a reliable witness
on technical issues, testified that the holes in Crematorium II were on alternating sides.” S

“It is impossible to observe the Zyklon holes themselves in any of the aerial
photographs. >@.
Mr. Lucas analyzed the two August 25 photos showing the roof of the Crematorium II. >@. After careful study Mr. Lucas identified four small objects
within the smudges, all slightly elevated above the level of the roof. Stereo
imaging allows observation of even small objects in grainy images, very difficult or impossible to detect in separate images, as is well demonstrated by
‘random dot stereograms.’ In all probability, these correspond to the four
‘chimneys’ above the holes in the roof, as clearly visible in the Train Photograph. Thus, the aerial photographs add further support to the witness testimonies and to the Train Photograph. With regard to the dark smudges and
related findings Mr. Lucas summarized his conclusions as follows:
a) ‘The roof of the partially underground wing of the Crematorium contains
four raised vents, possibly with covers larger than their exits’.

b) ‘The four dark areas observed on the Crematorium II roof (on positive
prints) are compacted soil, produced by the constant movement of personnel
deployed on the roof, as they worked around the vents.’ >@.
c) ‘The thin dark lineation (on positive prints) interconnecting the dark areas is a path of compacted earth produced by personnel moving from vent
to vent.’
d) ‘The dark area connecting this path to the edge roof from the vent nearest
to the Crematorium roof is an extension of the path which shows where personnel gained access to the roof – possibly using a short ladder leaned
against the roof.’
e) ‘The evidence provided by this analysis lends credence to the fact the
vents existed and were used in a way consistent with statements from multiple witnesses.’” SSI

“One possible explanation is that the camouflage in the Crematorium area
in general, and the gas chamber in particular, changed over time. >@
It is therefore reasonable to assume that between May 31 and July 8, the
earth banks were flattened and the roof covered with earth. This newly
placed earth was compacted by the SS-men climbing onto the roof and walking between the holes.” S

“Hole 1 is the opening in the roof near Pillar 1 (Figure 11a). The pillar

10b), which shifted as it collapsed. While it might appear at first glance that
the opening could just as easily have been created by the explosion, careful
examination proves thus was not the case. Portions of straight, flat edges
and a 90-degree angle survive intact, though most of the concrete around
the edge was damaged by explosion. The center of this hole is 4.1 m from
the southern end of the roof slab, and 0.75 m west of the roof’s center. We
estimate its size approximately 0.5 m square; this places its eastern edge at
0.3 m west of the western edge of the central support beam.” SSI

“Hole 4 can be identified by a pattern in the rebar (Figure 16) at the very
northern end of what remains of the roof. >@ Hole 4 can be identified by the
unimpeded square opening set in the rebar in 1943. The surrounding edges
were shattered by the explosion and the folding of the roof, leaving only the
telltale rebar latticework. Its measurements are 0.5 x 0.5 m. >@ The deliberately looped rebar proves that this hole, as almost certainly the other
three, was cast at the time the concrete was poured in January 1943.” SS

“It has been further hypothesized that the difficulty of locating the four holes
may have reflected their having been filled in before the destruction of the
chamber. This does not seem likely for Crematoriums II and III. The original
roof consisted of three layers: a thick stone aggregate concrete slab underneath; a thinner, finer sand-aggregate concrete mixture above; and waterproofing bituminous tar paper in the middle. It is unlikely that the SS would
have thought it necessary to duplicate this work, or that they could have
done so in four places without leaving a trace. There are considerable areas
of the original ceiling visible from under the slab but these show no signs of
tampering. In Crematorium I the holes were filled when the structure was
converted to a bomb shelter for the SS (date unknown).” S

visible in those portions of the ceiling presently accessible from below. >@
One important detail must be emphasized: the indentations containing the
wooden blocks were purposely built into the ceiling of the gas chamber from
the very moment the roof was built.” S

HOLOCAUST HANDBOOKS
T
his ambitious, growing series addresses various angles of the “Holocaust” of the
WWII era. Most of them are based on decades of research from archives all over the
world. They are heavily footnoted and referenced. In contrast to most other works
on this issue, the tomes of this series approach its topic with profound academic scrutiny
and a critical attitude. Any Holocaust researcher ignoring this series will remain oblivious to some of the most important research in the eld. These books are designed to both
convince the common reader as well as academics. The following books have appeared so
far and are available from CODOH/CASTLE HILL PUBLISHERS:
SECTION ONE:
General Overviews of the Holocaust
The First Holocaust. The Surprising Origin of
the Six-Million Figure. By Don Heddesheimer.
This compact but substantive study documents
propaganda spread prior to,
during and after the FIRST
World War that claimed
East European Jewry was
on the brink of annihilation.
The magic number of suffering and dying Jews was
6 million back then as well.
The book details how these
Jewish fundraising operations in America raised vast
sums in the name of feeding
suffering Polish and Russian Jews but actually funneled much of the money to Zionist and
Communist groups. 3rd edition, 188 pages, b&w
illustrations, bibliography, index. (#6)
Lectures on the Holocaust. Controversial Issues Cross Examined. By Germar Rudolf. Between 1992 and 2005 German scholar Germar
Rudolf lectured to various
audiences about the Holocaust in the light of new
ndings. Rudolf ’s sometimes astounding facts and
arguments fell on fertile soil
among his listeners, as they
were presented in a very
sensitive and scholarly way.
This book is the literary version of Rudolf ’s lectures, enriched with the most recent
ndings of historiography. Rudolf introduces
the most important arguments for his ndings,
and his audience reacts with supportive, skeptical and also hostile questions. We believe this
book is the best introduction into this taboo topic. Second edition, 500 pages, b&w illustrations,
bibliography, index.(#15)
Breaking the Spell. The Holocaust, Myth &
Reality. By Nicholas Kollerstrom. In 1941,
British Intelligence analysts cracked the German “Enigma” code. Hence, in 1942 and 1943,
encrypted radio communications between German concentration camps and the Berlin headquarters were decrypted. The intercepted data
refutes, the orthodox “Holocaust” narrative. It

reveals that the Germans
were desperate to reduce
the death rate in their labor
camps, which was caused
by catastrophic typhus epidemics. Dr. Kollerstrom, a
science historian, has taken
these intercepts and a wide
array of mostly unchallenged corroborating evidence to show that “witness
statements” supporting the human gas chamber narrative clearly clash with the available
scientic data. Kollerstrom concludes that the
history of the Nazi “Holocaust” has been written by the victors with ulterior motives. It is
distorted, exaggerated and largely wrong. With
a foreword by Prof. Dr. James Fetzer. 2nd edition, 257 pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography,
index. (#31)
Debating the Holocaust. A New Look at Both
Sides. By Thomas Dalton. Mainstream historians insist that there cannot be, may not be a
debate about the Holocaust. But ignoring it does
not make this controversy go away. Traditional
scholars admit that there
was neither a budget, a plan,
nor an order for the Holocaust; that the key camps
have all but vanished, and
so have any human remains;
that material and unequivocal documentary evidence is
absent; and that there are
serious problems with survivor testimonies. Dalton
juxtaposes the traditional

Holocaust narrative with revisionist challenges and then analyzes the
mainstream’s responses to them. He
reveals the weaknesses of both sides,
while declaring revisionism the winner of the current state of the debate.
2nd, revised and expanded edition,
332 pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index. (#32)
The Hoax of the Twentieth Century.
The Case against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry. By
Arthur R. Butz. The rst writer to
analyze the entire Holocaust complex
in a precise scientic manner. This
book exhibits the overwhelming force
of arguments accumulated by the
mid-1970s. It continues to be a major
historical reference work, frequently
cited by prominent personalities. This
edition has numerous supplements
with new information gathered over
the last 35 years. Fourth edition, 524
pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography,
index. (#7)
Dissecting the Holocaust. The Growing Critique of ‘Truth’ and ‘Memory.’
Edited by Germar Rudolf. Dissecting
the Holocaust applies state-of-the-art
scientic technique and classic methods of detection to investigate the alleged murder of millions of Jews by
Germans during World War II. In
22 contributions—each of some 30
pages—the 17 authors dissect generally accepted paradigms of the “Holocaust.” It reads as exciting as a crime
novel: so many lies, forgeries and deceptions by politicians, historians and
scientists are proven. This is the intellectual adventure of the 21st century.
Be part of it! Second revised edition.
620 pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index. (#1)
The Dissolution of Eastern European
Jewry. By Walter N. Sanning. Six Million Jews died in the Holocaust. Sanning did not take that number at face
value, but thoroughly explored European population developments and
shifts mainly caused by emigration as
well as deportations and evacuations
conducted by both Nazis and the Soviets, among other things. The book
is based mainly on Jewish, Zionist
and mainstream sources. It concludes
that a sizeable share of the Jews found
missing during local censuses after the
Second World War, which were so far
counted as “Holocaust victims,” had
either emigrated (mainly to Israel or
the U.S.) or had been deported by Stalin to Siberian labor camps. 2nd, corrected edition, foreword by A.R. Butz,
epilogue by Germar Rudolf containing
important updates; 224 pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography (#29).
Air Photo Evidence: World War Two
Photos of Alleged Mass Murder Sites
Analyzed. By John C. Ball. During
World War Two both German and
Allied reconnaissance aircraft took
countless air photos of places of tactical and strategic interest in Europe.
These photos are prime evidence for
the investigation of the Holocaust.
Air photos of locations like Auschwitz,
Majdanek, Treblinka, Babi Yar etc.
permit an insight into what did or did
not happen there. John Ball has unearthed many pertinent photos and
has thoroughly analyzed them. This
book is full of air photo reproductions
and schematic drawings explaining
them. According to the author, these
images refute many of the atrocity
claims made by witnesses in connection with events in the German sphere
of inuence. 3rd revised and expanded
edition. Edited by Germar Rudolf;
with a contribution by Carlo Mattogno. 168 pages, 8.5”×11”, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index (#27).
The Leuchter Reports: Critical Edition. By Fred Leuchter, Robert Faurisson and Germar Rudolf. Between 1988
and 1991, U.S. expert on execution
technologies Fred Leuchter wrote four
detailed reports addressing whether
the Third Reich operated homicidal
gas chambers. The rst report on
Auschwitz and Majdanek became
world famous. Based on chemical
analyses and various technical arguments, Leuchter concluded that the
locations investigated “could not have
then been, or now be, utilized or seriously considered to function as execution gas chambers.” 4th edition, 252
pages, b&w illustrations. (#16)
The Giant with Feet of Clay: Raul Hilberg and His Standard Work on the
“Holocaust.” By Jürgen Graf. Raul Hilberg’s major work The Destruction of
European Jewry is an orthodox standard work on the Holocaust. But what
evidence does Hilberg provide to back
his thesis that there was a German
plan to exterminate Jews, carried out
mainly in gas chambers? Jürgen Graf
applies the methods of critical analysis to Hilberg’s evidence and examines
the results in light of modern historiography. The results of Graf ’s critical
analysis are devastating for Hilberg.

Jewish Emigration from the Third
Reich. By Ingrid Weckert. Current
historical writings about the Third
Reich claim state it was difcult for
Jews to ee from Nazi persecution.
The truth is that Jewish emigration
was welcomed by the German authori-
HOLOCAUST HANDBOOKS
ties. Emigration was not some kind of
wild ight, but rather a lawfully determined and regulated matter. Weckert’s booklet elucidates the emigration
process in law and policy. She shows
that German and Jewish authorities
worked closely together. Jews interested in emigrating received detailed
advice and offers of help from both
sides. 2nd ed., 130 pages, index. (#12)
Inside the Gas Chambers: The Extermination of Mainstream Holocaust
Historiography. By Carlo Mattogno.
Neither increased media propaganda
or political pressure nor judicial persecution can stie revisionism. Hence, in
early 2011, the Holocaust Orthodoxy
published a 400 pp. book (in German)
claiming to refute “revisionist propaganda,” trying again to prove “once
and for all” that there were homicidal
gas chambers at the camps of Dachau,
Natzweiler, Sachsenhausen, Mauthausen, Ravensbrück, Neuengamme,
Stutthof… you name them. Mattogno
shows with his detailed analysis of
this work of propaganda that mainstream Holocaust hagiography is beating around the bush rather than addressing revisionist research results.
He exposes their myths, distortions
and lies. 268 pages, b&w illustrations,
bibliography. (#25)
SECTION TWO:
Books on Specic Camps
Treblinka: Extermination Camp or
Transit Camp? By Carlo Mattogno and
Jürgen Graf. It is alleged that at Treblinka in East Poland between 700,000
and 3,000,000 persons were murdered
in 1942 and 1943. The weapons used
were said to have been stationary and/
or mobile gas chambers, fast-acting or
slow-acting poison gas, unslaked lime,
superheated steam, electricity, diesel
exhaust fumes etc. Holocaust historians alleged that bodies were piled as
high as multi-storied buildings and
burned without a trace, using little
or no fuel at all. Graf and Mattogno
have now analyzed the origins, logic
and technical feasibility of the ofcial
version of Treblinka. On the basis of
numerous documents they reveal Treblinka’s true identity as a mere transit
camp. 365 pages, b&w illustrations,
bibliography, index. (#8)
Belzec in Propaganda, Testimonies,
Archeological Research and History.
By Carlo Mattogno. Witnesses report
that between 600,000 and 3 million
Jews were murdered in the Belzec
camp, located in Poland. Various murder weapons are claimed to have been
used: diesel gas; unslaked lime in
ۨ

trains; high voltage; vacuum chambers;
etc. The corpses were incinerated on
huge pyres without leaving a trace. For
those who know the stories about Treblinka this sounds familiar. Thus the
author has restricted this study to the
aspects which are new compared to Treblinka. In contrast to Treblinka, forensic drillings and excavations were performed at Belzec, the results of which
are critically reviewed. 138 pages, b&w
illustrations, bibliography, index. (#9)
Sobibor: Holocaust Propaganda and
Reality. By Jürgen Graf, Thomas Kues
and Carlo Mattogno. Between 25,000
and 2 million Jews are said to have
been killed in gas chambers in the
Sobibór camp in Poland. The corpses
were allegedly buried in mass graves
and later incinerated on pyres. This
book investigates these claims and
shows that they are based on the selective use of contradictory eyewitness
testimony. Archeological surveys of the
camp in 2000-2001 are analyzed, with
fatal results for the extermination
camp hypothesis. The book also documents the general National Socialist
policy toward Jews, which never included a genocidal “nal solution.” 434
pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography,
index. (#19)
The “Extermination Camps” of “Aktion
Reinhardt”. By Jürgen Graf, Thomas
Kues and Carlo Mattogno. In late
2011, several members of the exterminationist Holocaust Controversies
blog published a study which claims
to refute three of our authors’ monographs on the camps Belzec, Sobibor
and Treblinka (see previous three
entries). This tome is their point-bypoint response, which makes “mincemeat” out of the bloggers’ attempt at
refutation. It requires familiarity with
the above-mentioned books and constitutes a comprehensive update and expansion of their themes. 2nd edition,
two volumes, total of 1396 pages, illustrations, bibliography. (#28)
Chelmno: A Camp in History & Propaganda. By Carlo Mattogno. The world’s
premier holocaust scholar focuses his
microscope on the death camp located
in Poland. It was at Chelmno that
huge masses of prisoners—as many as
1.3 million—were allegedly rounded
up and killed. His book challenges
the conventional wisdom of what
went on inside Chelmno. Eyewitness
statements, forensics reports, coroners’ reports, excavations, crematoria,
building plans, U.S. reports, German
documents, evacuation efforts, mobile
gas vans for homicidal purposes—all
are discussed. 191 pages, indexed, illustrated, bibliography. (#23)
HOLOCAUST HANDBOOKS
The Gas Vans: A Critical Investigation. (A perfect companion to the
Chelmno book.) By Santiago Alvarez
and Pierre Marais. It is alleged that
the Nazis used mobile gas chambers
to exterminate 700,000 people. Up
until 2011, no thorough monograph
had appeared on the topic. Santiago
Alvarez has remedied the situation.
Are witness statements reliable? Are
documents
genuine? Where are
the murder weapons? Could they
have operated as
claimed? Where are
the corpses? Alvarez has scrutinized
all known wartime documents, photos
and witness statements on this topic,
and has examined the claims made by
the mainstream. 390 pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index. (#26)
Concentration Camp Majdanek. A
Historical and Technical Study. By
Carlo Mattogno and Jürgen Graf.
Little research had been directed toward Concentration Camp Majdanek
in central Poland, even though it
is claimed that up to a million Jews
were murdered there. The only information available is discredited Polish
Communist propaganda. This glaring
research gap has nally been lled.
After exhaustive research of primary
sources, Mattogno and Graf created
a monumental study which expertly
dissects and repudiates the myth of
homicidal gas chambers at Majdanek.
They also critically investigated the
legend of mass executions of Jews in
tank trenches (“Operation Harvest
Festival”) and prove them groundless. The authors’ investigations lead
to unambiguous conclusions about
the camp which are radically different from the ofcial theses. Again
they have produced a standard and
methodical investigative work, which
authentic historiography cannot ignore. Third edition, 350 pages, b&w
illustrations, bibliography, index. (#5)
Concentration Camp Stutthof and Its
Function in National Socialist Jewish
Policy. By Carlo Mattogno and Jürgen
Graf. The Stutthof camp in Prussia
has never before been scientically
investigated by traditional historians,
who claim nonetheless that Stutthof
served as a ‘makeshift’ extermination
camp in 1944. Based mainly on archival resources, this study thoroughly
debunks this view and shows that
Stutthof was in fact a center for the organization of German forced labor to-

SECTION THREE:
Auschwitz Studies
The Real Case of Auschwitz: Robert
van Pelt’s Evidence from the Irving
Trial Critically Reviewed. By Carlo
Mattogno. Prof. Robert van Pelt is
considered one of the best mainstream
experts on Auschwitz and has been
called upon several times in holocaust
court cases. His work is cited by many
to prove the holocaust happened as
mainstream scholars insist. This book
is a scholarly response to Prof. van
Pelt—and Jean-Claude Pressac. It
shows that their studies are heavily
awed. This is a book of prime political and scholarly importance to those
looking for the truth about Auschwitz.
2nd edition, 758 pages, b&w illustrations, glossary, bibliography, index.
(#22)
Auschwitz: Plain Facts—A Response
to Jean-Claude Pressac. Edited by
Germar Rudolf. French pharmacist
Jean-Claude Pressac tried to refute
revisionist ndings with the “technical” method. For this he was praised
by the mainstream, and they proclaimed victory over the “revisionists.”
In Auschwitz: Plain Facts, Pressac’s
works and claims are debunked. 2nd
ed., 226 pages, b&w illustrations, glosary bibliography, index. (#14)
The Rudolf Report. Expert Report
on Chemical and Technical Aspects
of the ‘Gas Chambers’ of Auschwitz.
By Germar Rudolf and Dr. Wolfgang
Lambrecht. In 1988, execution expert
Fred Leuchter investigated the gas
chambers of Auschwitz and Majdanek
and concluded that they could not
have worked as claimed. Ever since,
Leuchter’s work has been attacked.
In 1993, Germar Rudolf published
a thorough forensic study about the
“gas chambers” of Auschwitz. His report irons out the deciencies of “The
Leuchter Report.” Second edition, 457
pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index. (#2)
Auschwitz Lies: Legends, Lies and
Prejudices on the Holocaust. By
Carlo Mattogno and Germar Rudolf.
The fallacious research and alleged
“refutation”of Revisionist scholars by
French biochemist G. Wellers, Polish Prof. J. Markiewicz, chemist Dr.
Richard Green, Profs. Zimmerman,
M. Shermer and A. Grobman, as well
as researchers Keren, McCarthy and
Mazal, are exposed for what they are:

lies created to ostracize dissident historians. In this book, facts beat propaganda once again. Third edition, 398
pages, b&w illustrations, index. (#18)
Auschwitz: The Central Construction
Ofce. By Carlo Mattogno. Based upon
mostly unpublished German wartime
documents, this study describes the
history, organization, tasks and procedures of the Central Construction
Ofce of the Waffen-SS and Auschwitz
Police. Despite a huge public interest
in the camp, next to nothing was really known about this ofce, which was
responsible for the planning and construction of the Auschwitz camp complex, including the crematories which
are said to have contained the “gas
chambers.” 2nd ed., 188 pages, b&w
illustrations, glossary, index. (#13)
Garrison and Headquarters Orders
of the Auschwitz Camp. By C. Mattogno. A large number of all the orders
ever issued by the various commanders of the infamous Auschwitz camp
have been preserved. They reveal
the true nature of the camp with all
its daily events. There is not a trace
in these orders pointing at anything
sinister going on in this camp. Quite
to the contrary, many orders are in
clear and insurmountable contradiction to claims that prisoners were
mass murdered. This is a selection
of the most pertinent of these orders
together with comments putting them
into their proper historical context.
(Scheduled for early 2017; #34)
Special Treatment in Auschwitz: Origin and Meaning of a Term. By Carlo
Mattogno. When appearing in German wartime documents, terms like
“special treatment,” “special action,”
and others have been interpreted as
code words for mass murder. But that
is not always true. This study focuses
on documents about Auschwitz, showing that, while “special” had many
different meanings, not a single one
meant “execution.” Hence the practice
of deciphering an alleged “code language” by assigning homicidal meaning to harmless documents – a key
component of mainstream historiography – is untenable. 2nd ed., 166 pages,
b&w illustrations, bibliography, index.
(#10)
Healthcare at Auschwitz. By Carlo
Mattogno. In extension of the above
study on Special Treatment in Auschwitz, this study proves the extent to
which the German authorities at
Auschwitz tried to provide appropriate health care for the inmates. This
is frequently described as special measures to improve the inmates’ health
and thus ability to work in Germany’s
armaments industry. This, after all,
was the only thing the Auschwitz authorities were really interested in due
to orders from the highest levels of the
German government. (Scheduled for
late 2016; #33)
Debunking tthe
he Bunkers of Auschwitz:
Black Propaganda vs. History. By
Carlo Mattogno. The bunkers at Auschwitz are claimed to have been the
rst homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz specically equipped for this
purpose. With the help of original German wartime les as well as revealing air photos taken by Allied reconnaissance aircraft in 1944, this study
shows that these homicidal “bunkers”
never existed, how the rumors about
them evolved as black propaganda
created by resistance groups in the
camp, and how this propaganda was
transformed into a false reality. 2nd
ed., 292 pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index. (#11)
Auschwitz: The First Gassing—Rumor and Reality. By Carlo Mattogno.
The rst gassing in Auschwitz is
claimed to have occurred on Sept. 3,
1941, in a basement room. The accounts reporting it are the archetypes
for all later gassing accounts. This
study analyzes all available sources
about this alleged event. It shows that
these sources contradict each other in
location, date, preparations, victims
etc, rendering it impossible to extract
a consistent story. Original wartime
documents inict a nal blow to this
legend and prove without a shadow
of a doubt that this legendary event
never happened. 4th ed., 190 pages,
b&w illustrations, bibliography, index.
(#20)
Auschwitz: Crematorium I and the Alleged Homicidal Gassings. By Carlo
Mattogno. The morgue of Crematorium I in Auschwitz is said to be the
rst homicidal gas chamber there.
This study investigates all statements
by witnesses and analyzes hundreds
of wartime documents to accurately
write a history of that building. Mattogno proves that its morgue was never a homicidal gas chamber, nor could
it have worked as such. 138 pages,
b&w illustrations, bibliography, index.
(#21)
Auschwitz: Open Air Incinerations.
By Carlo Mattogno. Hundreds of thousands of corpses of murder victims
are claimed to have been incinerated
in deep ditches in the Auschwitz concentration camp. This book examines
the many testimonies regarding these
incinerations and establishes whether
HOLOCAUST HANDBOOKS
these claims were even possible. Using aerial
photographs, physical evidence and wartime
documents, the author shows that these claims
are ction. A must read. 132 pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index. (#17)
The Cremation Furnaces of Auschwitz. By Carlo Mattogno & Franco Deana. An exhaustive
technical study of the history and technology
of cremation in general and
of the cremation furnaces
of Auschwitz in particular. On a sound and thoroughly documented base of
technical literature, extant
wartime documents and
material traces, Mattogno
and Deana can establish
the true nature and capacity of the Auschwitz cremation furnaces. They
show that these devices were cheaper versions
than what was usually produced, and that their
capacity to cremate corpses was lower than
normal, too. Hence this study reveals that the
Auschwitz cremation furnaces were not monstrous super ovens but rather inferior makeshift devices. 3 vols., 1198 pages, b&w and color
illustrations (vols 2 & 3), bibliography, index,
glossary. (#24)
Curated Lies: The Auschwitz Museum’s Misrepresentations, Distortions and Deceptions By
Carlo Mattogno. Revisionist research results
have put the Polish Auschwitz Museum under
enormous pressure to answer this challenge.
They’ve answered. This book
analyzes their answer and
reveals the appallingly mendacious attitude of the Auschwitz Museum authorities
when presenting documents
from their archives. With a
contribution by Eric Hunt on
the Auschwitz Museum’s misrepresentations of its most
valued asset, the “gas chamber” in the Main Camp. 248
pages, b&w illustrations, bibliography, index.

SECTION FOUR
Witness Critique
Holocaust High Priest: Elie
Wiesel, Night, the Memory
Cult, and the Rise of Revisionism. By Warren B. Routledge.
The rst unauthorized biography of Wiesel exposes both his
personal deceits and the whole
myth of “the six million.” It
shows how Zionist control has
allowed Wiesel and his fellow
extremists to force leaders of

many nations, the U.N. and even popes to genuect before Wiesel as symbolic acts of subordination to World Jewry, while at the same time
forcing school children to submit to Holocaust
brainwashing. 468 pages, b&w illust., bibliography, index. (#30)
Auschwitz: Confessions and Testimonies. By
Jürgen Graf. The traditional narrative of what
transpired at the infamous Auschwitz camp
during WWII rests almost exclusively on witness testimony from former inmates as well as
erstwhile camp ofcials. This study critically
scrutinizes the 40 most important of these witness statements by checking them for internal
coherence, and by comparing them with one
another as well as with other evidence such
as wartime documents, air photos, forensic research results, and material traces. The result
is devastating for the traditional narrative.
(Scheduled for late 2016; #36)
Commandant of Auschwitz: Rudolf Höss, His
Torture and His Forced Confessions. By Rudolf
Höss & Carlo Mattogno. When Rudolf Höss was
in charge at Auschwitz, the mass extermination
of Jews in gas chambers is said to have been
launched and carried out. He confessed this in
numerous postwar depositions. Hence Höss’s
testimony is the most convincing of all. But
what traditional sources usually do not reveal
is that Höss was severely tortured to coerce him
to “confess,” and that his various statements are
not only contradictory but also full of historically and physically impossible, even absurd
claims. This study expertly analyzes Höss’s
various confessions and lays them all open for
everyone to see the ugly truth. (Scheduled for
summer 2016: #35)
An Auschwitz Doctor’s Eyewitness Account:
The Tall Tales of Dr. Mengele’s Assistant Analyzed.. By Miklos Nyiszli & Carlo Mattogno.
lyzed
Nyiszli, a Hungarian Jew who studied medicine in Germany before the war, ended up at
Auschwitz in 1944 as Dr. Mengele’s assistant.
After the war he wrote an account of what he
claimed to have experienced. To this day some
traditional historians take his accounts seriously, while others accept that it is a grotesque
collection of lies and exaggerations. This study
analyzes Nyiszli’s novel and skillfully separates
truth from fabulous fabrication. (Scheduled for
spring 2016; #37)
Further Projects
Further studies we propose to publish would
scrutinize eyewitness accounts from, e.g., Fillip
Müller, Rudolf Vrba, Henryk Tauber, Yankiel
