The Truth about the Holocaust

A British historian is jailed in Austria for doubting the stories of the holocaust, the Iranian president threatens to deny the authenticity of the holocaust if he is denied the right to enrich uranium, and the Pope visits an ex-Nazi concentration camp to commemorate the holocaust. By any count, it must be something very important and deserves to be looked into.

It is now accepted by historians that between 5.6 and 5.9 million Jewish men women and children were brutally killed in Germany and elsewhere in Europe by the Nazis and their collaborators. Even if that number is divided by a hundred, it turns out to be a tragedy of great magnitude and one can not but commiserate with the survivors. It is also said that an equal number migrated from Germany and its occupied lands to other countries. The painful irony is that it all happened in the very cradle of Western civilization, arts, sciences, technology and philosophy; the lands of Gutenberg, Goethe, Hegel, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Mahler, Einstein, Diesel, and Freud.

It is estimated that there were nearly four million Jews in the European territories conquered by the Nazis, out of which nearly three million were exterminated. The remaining three million Jews must have been massacred in Germany itself. This means that Germany lost nearly 10 percent of its most educated and affluent population during the early forties by slaughter and migration.

Under normal circumstances, if a country loses a tenth of its population within a few years, its economy and its social order would collapse. Yet in the case of Nazi Germany one finds that the opposite happened. The German economy and productivity grew and the country became so powerful that it was able to continue the war effort unabated.

It is claimed that nearly 450 tons of gold were collected from the gold fillings in the teeth of the Jews who were killed and destroyed, and the gold was melted and cast into coins in Italy. If you divide 450 million grams of gold by 6 million Jews killed it would appear that on average every European Jew had 75 grams (two and a half ounces) of gold in his or her teeth. It is simply an unbelievable proposition.

Holocaust historians claim that nearly two divisions of the Nazi German army were deputed under Eichman to the task of destroying Jews. It is against all logic that an army pressed hard on half a dozen different fronts would spare two divisions to carry out a massacre of innocent and harmless civilians.

It is obvious that there is a lot of exaggeration in the tales of the holocaust.

The Austrian law making the denial of the Holocaust a criminal offence is another anomaly. After the Second World War there were no Jews left in Austria to lobby for such a law, and most of the legislation was done under the dictation of the allied occupation forces. If the Austrians just wanted to forget the nightmare they would have made any discussion at all of the holocaust a crime.

It seems likely that the massive propaganda about the holocaust was invented by the American war machine to divert world public opinion from its own horrendous crimes such as the nuclear bombing of the Japanese cities. They made themselves look good by comparison to the Nazi war crimes. The cover up was ensured by whisking away a quarter million surviving European Jews to Palestine.

It is said that most of the Jews of Germany and its occupied territories who could not escape were arrested and placed in concentration camps manned by the military, and were executed in batches. It is quite possible that allied air forces (mainly American and British) may have mistakenly bombed some of the concentration camps or convoys of captive Jews and killed a few hundred thousand of them. It is also possible that the Nazis may have used large numbers of Jews as human shields in and around military installations hoping that influential Jews in USA would persuade the military to stop the incessant carpet bombings, but the trick failed and the human shields were obliterated along with the targets. The Nazis didn't have the face to publicize it, and the allies would rather hush it up when they discovered their mistake or mistakes. The subsequent propaganda and legislation against denying the holocaust may have been a part of the cover-up. In this way, the Allies were also able to put the blame and the responsibility for compensation on the Germans. It also explains why the Americans and the British often quite irrationally support those heinous actions of the Israelis that the entire civilized world condemns. Perhaps they are constantly being blackmailed by the Israelis who can prove that large numbers of Jews in Germany and its occupied lands were actually killed by the Americans and the British.

It is high time that those who have the facts about the accidental killings of Jews during the Second World War came out with the truth and put the record straight. It would certainly help to bring sanity to international politics and ensure a better future for mankind. There may be a temporary uproar and souring of relations, but it will come to pass.

The question now is, "Can there be another holocaust of Jews?" Unfortunately, the answer is "yes." The reasons are as follows.

The Nazi philosophy of Aryan purity versus Judaic abomination was a reaction to the Judaic claim of being God's chosen people with a birth right to dominate all other peoples of the world. Add to it the tyranny of the money-lending profession monopolized by the Judaic people of Europe and you get a perfect recipe for making hated outcasts. History has failed to record the many destitute and bankrupt people who must have been mercilessly killed or humiliated by the money lenders for not returning their loans. The opinion held by European Christians about the Jews during the past few centuries can be found in any history book and need not be repeated here.

"A life for a life" is the divine Jewish law of retribution. The Israelis have already accumulated a considerable debt of lives to the Palestinians as a result of the frequent massacres of helpless Palestinians in refugee camps and elsewhere. If they continue the massacres at the present rate, then by divine justice the grandsons of today's Israelis may have to return the debt of a few million lives in the form of another holocaust, at which no one would cry. The leaders of Israel and their supporters should pause and think objectively about the long-term risks in what they are doing today. The first thing they need to do is to win the trust of the people among whom they live, and it certainly can't be done by wanton massacres or high handed treatment of the weak. They should stop taking revenge of the sufferings of their ancestors by inflicting pain and misery on innocent people. They can overcome their worst fears of annihilation by the Muslims only by befriending them sincerely.
