THE HOLOCAUST CONTROVERSY The Case For Open Debate

Is asking questions a crime?  If you develop doubts about the Holocaust, isn't the only way to get rid of these doubts by asking questions?  A lot of individuals and groups are enraged by those who ask critical questions about the Holocaust.

   German National Socialists saw Jews as being an influential force behind international Communism.  During World War II Jews were considered to be enemies of the German State and a potential danger to its war efforts; much like the Germans, Italians, and Japanese were viewed in the U.S.  Consequently, Jews were stripped of their rights, forced to live in ghettos, conscripted for labor, deprived of their property, deported, and otherwise mistreated.  Many tragically perished.

   In contrast to establishment historians, Revisionists claim that the German State had no policy to exterminate the Jewish people (or anyone else) in homicidal gas chambers or by killing them through abuse or neglect.  Revisionists also maintain that the figure of six million Jewish deaths is an irresponsible exaggeration, and that no execution gas chambers existed in any camp in Europe under German control.  Fumigation gas chambers, both stationary and mobile, did exist to delouse clothing and equipment to prevent disease at POW, labor, and concentration camps and at the fighting front.  It is highly likely that it was from this lifesaving procedure that the myth of extermination gas chambers emerged.

   During the war and in the postwar era as well, Zionist organizations became deeply involved in creating and spreading Holocaust stories.  Their purpose was to drum up world sympathy and support for Jewish causes, especially for the creation of the State of Israel.

   We've all seen "The Photographs", especially the awful scenes at Dachau, Buchenwald and Bergen-Belsen.  Even mainstream historians admit that there was no German policy at any of those camps to kill the internees.  In the last months of the war, while Soviet armies were invading Germany from the east, British and U.S. bombers were destroying every major city in Germany with saturation bombing.  Transportation, the food distribution system, medical, and sanitation services all broke down.  That was the purpose of these air raids, which was the most barbaric form of warfare in Europe since the Mongol invasion.

    Millions of refugees fleeing the Soviet armies were pouring into central and western Germany.  As a result of the ongoing war, of starvation and epidemics, millions of civilians were dying all over Germany.  The camps were not exempted from this tragedy.  By early 1945 these inmates suffered from malnutrition and epidemics like typhus and cholera, to which many succumbed. When the press entered the camps with British and U.S. soldiers, they found the results of that.  They took "The Photographs."

   Still, at camps such as Buchenwald, Dachau, and Bergen-Belsen tens of thousands of relatively healthy internees were liberated. They were there in the camps laughing and talking when "The Photographs" were taken.

   There was no order for a mass murder of Jews, no plan, no budget, no weapon- that is, no gas chamber - and no victim - that is, not a single autopsied body has been shown to have been gassed.

   In 1990, the Auschwitz State Museum revised the old propaganda claim of four million murdered humans down to one million- based not upon facts, but upon estimates!  In 1994, a French scholar reduced this figure further down to less than 700,000; and in 2002, another mainstream Holocaust scholar reduced the Auschwitz death toll to 500,000 - again not based on facts, but on estimates.

   It is certain that if there had been ‘killing factories’ in Poland murdering millions of civilians, then the Red Cross, the Pope, humanitarian agencies, the Allied governments, neutral governments, and prominent figures such as Roosevelt, Truman, Churchill, Eisenhower, and many others would have known about it and would have often and unambiguously mentioned and condemned it.  They did not!

   In American society today there is a wide range of ideas and viewpoints which the mass media will not allow to be discussed openly.  Even obvious facts and realities, when they are politically unacceptable, are denied and suppressed.  One can learn much about the psychology and methods of the ‘Thought Police’ by watching how they react when just one of their taboos is broken and Holocaust Revisionism is given a public forum. First they express outrage that such "offensive" and "dangerous" ideas were allowed to be expressed publicly.  They avoid answering or debating these ideas, claiming that to do so would give the Revisionists a forum and legitimacy.  Then they make vicious personal attacks against the Revisionist heretics, calling them political names such as "hater”, "denier”, "anti-Semite”, "racist", "terrorist", or "neo-Nazi"; even suggesting that they are potential mass murderers.  They publicly accuse Revisionists of lying, but they don't allow the dissenters to hear the specific charge against them or to face their accusers so that they can answer this slander.  All this goes on while the majority of library, media, college, and university administrators sit silently by; allowing political activists to determine what can be said in the media and read in libraries. Next, the Thought Police set out to destroy the transgressor professionally and financially by "getting" him at his job or concocting a lawsuit against him.

   Revisionism was launched in earnest in 1977 with the publication of the book 'The Hoax of the Twentieth Century' by Arthur R. Butz.  Professor Butz teaches Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.  Those who take up the Revisionist cause represent a wide spectrum of political and philosophical positions.  They are certainly not the scoundrels, liars, and demons the anti-Revisionists try to make them out to be.
