4.2 Official Investigations of the Treblinka campsite in 1945 - nothing there!

During November 1945, in preparation for the Nürnberg trial - the International Military Tribunal, IMT - the Polish magistrate of the district court in Sirdlce, guided by eyewitness testimony of the alleged atrocities committed, ordered an exploration of the former Treblinka II camp. The Polish commission attempted to unearth physical evidence of the alleged crime because it did not trust the survivors’ stories, especially the claim that 3,500,000 were killed there.

As with the Auschwitz claim this number was an invention of Soviet war-time propaganda. The Jewish chairman of the Sirdlce District Court, Szlebzak, together with the help of about 30 labourers, personally supervised the forensic exploration and excavation.

Witnessing the investigations were four former inmates of Treblinka: S. Rajzman, T. Crimberg, S. Friedman and M. Mittelberg. It was their task to indicate the location of the buildings, which they claimed they had seen operating for a whole year, and which had been dismantled two years before the commission began its work.

Survivors had stated that 50,000 people who were unable to walk to the 'gas chambers' were allegedly executed by a shot to the head in the hospital pit. Forensic exploration found only a few small personal articles belonging to the alleged shot victims, such as a few small foreign coins, but failed to find any human bones or any of the 50,000, alleged execution bullets or spent cartridges.

Neither could it locate Treblinka’s two gas-houses, the largest stone buildings in the district built in the two-hectare upper camp extermination area. Long and deep trenches, running in a north-south direction, were dug but nothing was found.

The polish judge even had the area surveyed, which confirmed that the total camp area was 13.45 ha, while Yitshak Arad had claimed it was 24 ha.[29]The commission judge, and also later Professor Faurisson, did find that the Poles bought additional land on the south site from local farmers to increase the area.

The investigation report, signed by both judge and state prosecutor, confirmed that no mass graves were found nor any traces of foundations or buildings. The judge’s report became document URSS-344 submitted by the Soviets to the IMT.

Once again, as is so common with all the 'Holocaust' stories, on an original campsite the fabricated story received a physical reality of its own so as to justify the propaganda claim that over three million persons were gassed at Treblinka.[30]

Shortly after the war Treblinka eyewitnesses testified that Jews were killed by hot water steam, or pumping out the air inside the room to create a vacuum, and even describing a hot water boiler installation inside the alleged gas chamber. For example, according to a 1944 eyewitness account compiled by the OSS, the principle US intelligence agency, Jews at Treblinka "were in general killed by steam and not by gas as had been at first suspected."[31] However, a realistic interpretation is that because the walls and floors of those rooms were tiled, they could have been used for disinfections and bathing purposes.[32]

It is only later that the 'Holocaust' literature changed the murder weapon to a Diesel motor, thereby offering a more convincing argument than the hot steam thesis, thereby bringing it in line with the Belzec and Sobibro camps where Diesel exhaust was also claimed to be the murder weapon.

At the main Nuremberg trial of 1945-1946, two conflicting stories were given: steaming and gassing. Former Treblinka prisoner Samuel Rajzman testified that Jews were killed there in gas chambers. To confuse matters still more, a few months earlier Rajzman claimed that during the time he was in Treblinka, Jews were "suffocated to death" with a machine that pumped air out of death chambers to suffocate the victims

American prosecutors at the main Nuremberg trial supported the steam story. As proof, a Polish government report of December 5, 1945, was submitted as prosecution exhibit USA-293. It charged that Jews were killed at the camp "by suffocating them in steam-filled chambers." This report, which says nothing about poison gas killings, was published in the official Nuremberg trial record as document PS-3311, and an American prosecutor quoted from this report during his address to the Tribunal on December 14, 1945.

The work of the American Diesel exhaust expert, Friedrich P Berg, clearly supports research that people cannot be killed with Diesel exhaust fumes as claimed by eyewitnesses.[33] Interestingly but not surprisingly, although the Diesel engine story as told by 'eye-witnesses' is still propagated by 'Holocaust' believers.[34]

As incredible as the Diesel exhaust story sounds, it gets worse with the Düsseldorf court's finding about the burial site of the 870,000 victims in the south-eastern corner of the camp. The mass graves, as seen on the scaled model, could only have accommodated about 200,000 bodies, but 'Holocaust' historians claim 870,000 bodies were buried there.

The excavation story, first for body burial, then for exhumation, is physically impossible to carry out. German political scientist Udo Walendy puts the problem into context when he reminds us that supposedly only a few people managed to perpetrate the extermination.[35]

Treblinka is, in fact, the most fitting landmark for mass killing levelled against Germans, a mirage of a multi-million genocide in gas chambers, of which not the slightest documentary or material trace exists and about which we would know nothing without the testimony of a handful of 'eyewitnesses'. As stated in my introduction, that millions of people died and suffered horribly during World War Two is, of course, irrefutable and cannot be denied.

The 'Ivan the terrible' trial of John Demjanjuk in Jerusalem was the final attempt to set the gassing story into legal concrete - and it failed, but that is not for want of trying by those who are obsessed with persecuting so-called 'Nazi war criminals'.

The persecution of John Demjanjuk is not an isolated case but it is one that has been taken to the extreme limit of absurdity by holding the trial in Israel, a country that did not even exist at the time the alleged crime was committed. Earlier, of course, we had during the early 1960s the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Similar cases of persecuting former eastern Europeans who 'collaborated' with the Germans during World War Two was also in vogue in western democracies during the early 1990s. For example in Australia such trials failed because eye-witness evidence was so unreliable and so obviously fabricated that judges could not continue with the prosecution.

It is seriously different in the US where a powerful Zionist lobby has infiltrated the judiciary. This helps to explain why the Demjanjuk persecution has lasted for over two decades, and why the United States authorities complied with Jewish pressure and deported from its territory to Germany both Germar Rudolf and Ernst Zündel, the latter via Canada.

John Demjanjuk was deported from the USA to Israel in 1986, and after a trial that saw one of his defence counsels murdered and another blinded with acid, on April 25, 1988 he was sentenced to death by a Jerusalem court. Upon appeal it was found he was not 'Ivan the terrible', and in September 1993 he was returned to the USA. But the persecution by US-based Jews of former Axis-members continues to this day. Of course, the injustice is not compensated, and Demjanjuk has not been compensated for any of his suffering, neither by Israel nor by the USA which permitted him to be extradited in the first place. Witness testimony turned out to be pure fabrication - imagine, witnesses stated that this Ukrainian camp guard was standing outside the Treblinka gas chamber as the victims walked into it, cutting off women's breasts in the process. Jürgen Graf and Carlo Mattogno extensively deal with this matter in their 2004 book: Treblinka. Extermination Camp or Transit Camp?[36]

Contrast this with the irrefutable suffering of the millions of people during the Second World War that is fully documented, physically and in writing. Just consider: go to Hiroshima, Dresden, Hamburg, Pforzheim, Stuttgart, et al, and you will still see physical evidence of the ferocious battles that engulfed the residents in those cities, and if you are lucky, you may still meet some of the survivors of this real Holocaust - while the gassing stories reveal themselves to be mere puffery.

5. Conclusion

1. As stated in the introduction, it is not possible in the available time to present a detailed report on an issue such as the alleged ‘Holocaust’ murder weapon. Yet even a limited discussion of the gassing claims indicates the gassing stories to be mere puffery – the product of a feverish pathological mind filled with pure hatred, mostly directed against Germans and anything German, and greed, and if not that, then certainly the product of an appalling state of ignorance of natural and chemical processes.

2. In my talk I tried to present a brief overview of the homicidal gas chamber thesis as it applies to Auschwitz and Treblinka concentration camps, and with the help of a model show that technically the claims made by ‘Holocaust’ believers about the mass gassings and burnings are a physical impossibility.

3. This fact alone justifies the Iranian President Dr Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's aim in holding the conference, to urge historians and scientists to investigate the whole 'Holocaust-Shoah' matter in a rational way without fear or favour. The urgency is there because the 'Holocaust' has distorted our understanding of world history and brought injustice and unimaginable suffering to the Palestinians.

6. Footnotes

[1] I would like to thank the many Revisionists around the world who have supported my personal work at Adelaide Institute. There are too many to list, but I mention from Australia Mrs Olga Scully, Lila McIntosh, Mohammed Hegazi, Peter Rackemann, John Brown, James McGregor, Peter Hartung of Australia Free Press, David Brockschmidt, and all the many Adelaide Institute supporters who have enabled me to continue this work full-time since 1994. A thank you to John Bennett of the Australian Civil Liberties Union who in 1979 lit the Revisionist torch in Australia by sending free copies of Arthur Butz's classic, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, literally to hundreds of public figures. Later, during my 1999 imprisonment at Mannheim, John organized the defence fund for me. Another thank you to courageous Christopher Steele for launching the first expose of the Auschwitz gas-chamber myth at Adelaide's Constitutional Museum in 1983, after having received a copy of the Butz book from Werner Fischer. However, had it not been for American Willis Carto's pioneering work in publishing in 1969 The Myth of the Six Million, and founding in 1979 the Institute for Historical Review in California on to whose editorial advisory board Carto invited John Bennett, among others, we would not have been able to view Revisionist work from almost a continuous half-century perspective. Needless to say that Frenchman Paul Rassinier was one of a number of earlier Revisionists who in isolation did pioneering work, and I think of Dr Wilhelm Stäglich who symbolizes the solitary nature of Revisionist work. Revisionists, in essence, are individuals who mostly work alone, in some collaboration, but rarely in a mass movement. For that their thinking is way ahead of the prevailing orthodoxy, which has little tolerance when it comes to enduring personal discomfort while pursuing an ideal, in this instance the search for truth in history.
My special thanks go to Jupp, a retired construction engineer, and a former member of the Australian Institute of Engineers, who built the scaled models of the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau and at Treblinka concentration camps. Jupp's models clearly illustrate the factually absurd nature of the homicidal gassing claims.

[2] On 20 July 1994 Australia's ABC TV Lateline 1994 program screened 'The Big Lie', wherein 'Holocaust' matters were canvassed in some detail by presenter Paul Barry and guests Dr Bill Leadbetter, Genocide Studies, Macquarie University, Sydney, and Professor Deborah Lipstadt, Emory University. Atlanta. Among other things Paul Barry canvassed the following with Lipstadt:

Paul Barry: "Just tell me briefly, how overwhelming, in your view, well not just in your view, how overwhelming is the evidence of the Holocaust?

1. Deborah Lipstadt: It's so overwhelming that the facts are just beyond belief and beyond question. We have in the United States alone ... in the National Archives, 28,000 linear feet of files on the activities of the deniers, I'm sorry, of the SS. So for the deniers to say that this didn't happen - but that documentation what the survivors provide is exceptionally important documentation, and the bystanders provide important documentation. The Poles who watched trains go into the camps, day after day, and come out empty, full of people, and come out empty, who knew exactly what was going on. Our best witnesses, our best source, are the perpetrators. The documentation that they left us, lists of people who were killed. They left us plans for the gas chambers, and of course the perpetrators. The perpetrators say "I did it' in interviews, just saying 'I did it' in trials. They say "I did it' in interviews and on other occasions and context.

2. On 'Holocaust' deniers: "[They] are a lunatic fringe. these people are consumed and motivated by hate. Truth doesn't enter into their equation at all, it's hate ...For me it's not an issue of free speech {but} an issue of providing them a platform. When you have a denier - what they say is absolute rubbish - do you give them a forum, invite them into your universities when what they're saying is the equivalent of 'the earth is flat' or 'Elvis Presley is alive and well', or 'there was no slavery'. ... [Will not debate them] I won't dignify them by making them sound like an other side, that someone would sit and say, well, here's one side, Deborah Lipstadt is a better debater but maybe there's some truth to what the other side said ... I can ridicule them easily. I can demolish what they said on the clip [Geoff Muirden] that there were no plans, that there are millions of survivors, the fact that there were survivors means the Holocaust didn't happen implies everything the Nazis did they accomplished. Well, the Nazis set out to win World War Two. They lost the war, so ipso facto, they didn't accomplish everything they wanted. I wouldn't be afraid of taking them on, face to face. The reason I don't is I don't want to dignify them as another side. You wouldn't ask someone who is an astronomy expert to come in and debate whether the world is flat or whether the world is round ... the other reason is that they lie, they pull things out of context."

3. On gas chamber evidence: "The evidence is overwhelming. First of all we have the plans, the architectural plans for converting the buildings to gas chambers ... We have work orders from the firm building the gas chambers in Auschwitz, to the suppliers "Please send us gas-tight doors, send us a door, we need to manufacture a door with a peep-hole'. The deniers claim these were delousing chambers solely to get rid of the lice in the clothing. Why would you need a peep-hole, to see when the clothes stopped moving? 'Send us a handle for a gas-tight door' - all sorts of references which could only be used for gas chambers. And coming out of Moscow now, the archives in Moscow are even more detailed. One of the reasons the Moscow archives has all this information is that Auschwitz was liberated by the Russians and they picked up the archives, and those archives have sat in Moscow for the past years. I want to make another point that is equally important. The deniers like to say that all these things are forged. They'll look at these plans and say these are forged. The list of peoples, names, thousands of names killed, is all forgery. And then they'll go ahead and say, David Irving likes to do this, 'show me the one piece of paper that says "I, Adolf Hitler hereby order the extermination of the Jews", signed Adolf Hitler, then I'll believe the Holocaust happened'. I'd like to ask them if the hoaxers, so-called hoaxers, and they're the Jews, were able to forge all this information with the help of the allies and planted it in the archives, why don't they just forge that one piece of paper that says, "I, Adolf Hitler, hereby order the extermination of the Jews", and that'll settle the argument. Clearly that piece of paper won't be found because that's not how the Nazis operated. But again the fallacy of their argument is really quite evident if you just think about it a little bit."

4. On deniers a danger: "What I'd like to say it that ... the deniers are not a clear and present danger. They're a clear and future danger. It's when there people won't be around as I said earlier who said, "I saw this. This is what happened to me", that it'll be much easier to ply their wares, and that's what they're looking for a day down the road, which is one reason they target the college campus to get the younger people, and there are people who are tenacious. They are haters, and haters, whether they're hating Jews or hating racial minorities, or hating whatever, haters are tenacious in their hatred and truth is very fragile."

Bill Leadbetter: The Holocaust deniers are ideologically motivated: i. They are antisemites; ii. They don't want to give Jews the moral legitimacy they get from being victims of the Holocaust; iii. Deniers have a political agenda - Nazism is a good thing but is negated by the Holocaust.

Also featured in the introduction was a clip of Professor Robert Jan van Pelt showing the existence of air ventilation ducts for 'the gas chamber', something Fritjof Meyer expressly, and wisely, now discounts, i.e. eight years later - see Footnote 21. The fact is that German law prescribed strict regulations governing mortuaries and their ventilation systems.

[3] Any Internet search engine will reveal the existence of extensive propaganda material on Auschwitz, with German media outlets at the forefront linking any current political issue with the alleged Auschwitz 'extermination' camp. For example, on 25 October 2006, the email service of the tagesschau.de ran an article about a Holocaust exhibition at German railway stations, and how the Transport Minister, Wolfgang Tiefensee is conflicting with the Director of the DB - German Railways, Hartmut Mehdorn, who opposes such an exhibition. The Internet website contains various links, including ‚Auschwitz: Das präzedenzlose Verbrechen’ – ‘Auschwitz, the crime without precedent’, where is presented the usual unsubstantiated rubbish about Germany’s cruelty and ‘break with civilisation’. The Iranian president is also mentioned by name and as is usual in German and Zionist-controlled media outlets, his statements are distorted and falsified. For example, the President does not 'deny' the Holocaust as such, i.e. that the murder of Europe’s Jews is a myth. He has asked this issue to be investigated because things have been mythologised. http://www.tagesschau.de/aktuell/meldungen/0,1185,OID6033194_REF1,00.html; the Revisionist Forum http://forum.codoh.com/ invites individuals to participate in a lively exchange of views, something that Holocaust dogmatists such as Professor Deborah Lipstadt vehemently oppose because for her 'there is no debate on the Holocaust'. See DVD of her appearance on ABC TV Lateline, 20 July 1994.

[4] The other camps are Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chelmno, Majdanek, and there is also the alleged 'auxiliary extermination camp' Stutthoff, near Danzig in western Prussia.

It is customary to refer to the Auschwitz Stammlager - base camp - as Auschwitz I, and to Auschwitz-Birkenau as Auschwitz II, while the reference to cremation facilities at Auschwitz I is referred to as Krema I and for Auschwitz II, as Krema II, III, IV and V. Auschwitz-Monowitz is referred to as Auschwitz III, where the Buna synthetic rubber plant was situated.

[5] Norman Finkelstein: The Holocaust Industry. Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering; also The New Statement, London, November 20, 2000. Finkestein is critical of the economic exploitation of so-called 'Holocaust' survivors who generally never received much from the massive reparation claims paid to world Jewish organisations, but he does not extend his criticism to the factuality of the actual '6 million murdered' claim. Such a claim is simplistic and it does not amaze that it has succeeded until the present. For example, the gassing claim begins with a basic factual truth: Zyklon-B gas was used in concentration camps for disinfection purposes. From this fact the story begins to be exaggerated by recounting personal suffering of individuals - which is also a fact, ending in distortions and wild imaginings and fabrications to outright lying For example, deaths occurred in the camps, especially during the final stages of the war when allied saturation bombing destroyed Germany's supply lines. We know from the recent Iraq invasion how devastating such bombing can be to destroying the fabric of social and economic order. The motto at the Auschwitz entrance - Arbeit Macht Frei-work liberates - has also been twisted and perverted to support claims of cruelty, slave labour, sadistic murders and the German's inhumanity towards its war-time prison populations. The equivalent of this motto in English is 'idle hands invite the devil'. During and post World War Two the USA, Australia and other countries had an extensive concentration camp program, the Rhein Wiesen in Germany comes to mind here where the allies starved hundreds of thousands of German soldiers to death. Naturally it is in the allies' interest to deflect from their crimes perpetrated upon the German people, and the 'Holocaust' lies to this day serve to deflect from an analysis of such crimes. All means are used to hold on to these lies, for example the current Revisionists before German courts cannot defend themselves because of the legal principle of 'Offenkundigkeit - judicial notice', whereby the actual physical issues are not canvassed and tested for truth-content in any trial. The 'Holocaust' happened, and so matters do not have to be re-tested in court. In fact, doing such testing will merely prove that an accused is an 'Überzeugungstäter - a convinced perpetrator, and any verdict in favour of the accused would then set a precedent, which would have ramifications on those thousands of earlier successful prosecutions. The German legal system is indeed in a bind - and so now we witness it moving inexorably into decline as decisions become more abstract and absurd, all for the sake of upholding the 'Holocaust' lies.

Alan M Dershowitz: The Vanishing American Jew. In Search of Jewish Identity for the Next Century. 1997 ISBN 0-316-18133-1. Dershowitz states quite specifically that an actual investigation of eyewitness claims must not be aired in court because the 1988 Zündel trial showed the Revisionists would win the factual argument. Imagine, had we not had the 1988 Zündel trial, then the four million Auschwitz deaths toll would still be on those 20 plaques at Auschwitz-Birkenau, which were removed and re-appeared some years later with the figure 1-1.5 million deaths.

[7] Robert Jan van Pelt, Deborah Dwork: Auschwitz. From 1270 To The Present, 1996, state at p.363-64, that Krema I was merely a symbolic representation of what actually happened at the Birkenau 'homicidal gas chambers', in effect de-commissioning Krema I as a homicidal gas chamber. During my 1997 and 1999 visit to Auschwitz, tourists were still being told Auschwitz-Stammlager, Krema I, was a 'homicidal gas chamber'. For statements that Krema I is still a gas chamber, see: 2.01 'Disparities in Hydrocyanic Compound Levels' at http://www.shamash.org/holocaust/denial/answers.txt.

[8] Prof Arthur Butz, in his 1976 published classic - now 3rd edition by TDP, 2003 - The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, reasoned without visiting the camp that Auschwitz was a labour and transit camp; The Leuchter Report, 1988 and The Rudolf Report, 1993, confirm that no Zyklon-B residual was to be found in the alleged homicidal gas chambers. But as in the Treblinka case below, the Jupp model shows, without a chemical analysis, that it was physically impossible to gas and cremate the number of bodies claimed by the orthodox Auschwitz story. Hence the reduction of alleged killed at Auschwitz after the 1988 Ernst Zündel Toronto trial from four million to 1-1.5 million - but still the claim persists that the total number Jews killed remains at six million! In her 1995 published book, The Holocaust Dogma of Judaism: Keystone of the New World Order, Margaret Stucki, writing under the pseudonym Ben Weintraub, explains how the 6 million is a magic Kabbalistic number, which has incorporated the 'Holocaust' into Judaism, thereby giving it absolute religious significance. Unrelated, but perhaps of interest to those who are looking for overarching principles in internationalist human endeavour, is the world quest to enshrine climate change in law. A first analysis of such mindset is found in Smith, J and Shearman, D: Climate Change Litigation. Analysing the law, scientific evidence & impacts on the environment, health & property. Presidian, Adelaide, 2006.

[11] Former Adelaide resident now living in Melbourne, Australia, 'Holocaust' survivor, Fred Steiner, in 1994 stated at a public meeting at the University of Adelaide: “I did not see the gas chambers, but I could smell them”. The huge industrial complex that was Auschwitz generated smells, beginning with tannery smells, and those generated by the large Buna synthetic rubber production facilities. Such eyewitness evidence as the above is worthless, and when such witnesses are advised they need more to prove their allegations that gassings occurred at Auschwitz, they usually play on hurt feelings – and then the discussion is terminated, sometimes followed by a threat that ‘legal action will follow this confrontation’ because the memory of the dead has been defiled.
