1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,740
Although it has innumerable advantages,
one of the great disadvantages of being
2
00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:11,740
able to communicate using a spoken and
written language is that it allows us to
3
00:00:11,740 --> 00:00:12,740
tell lies.
4
00:00:13,340 --> 00:00:17,840
Normally, when one thinks about telling
lies, one immediately thinks of doing
5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,000
something that is wrong.
6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,820
But what if telling a lie could save
your wife and children from certain
7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,860
Would you be doing wrong to tell that
lie?
8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,460
It is now thought by many historians
that Rudolf Hirst who was the commander
9
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:37,120
Auschwitz from 1940 to 1943 did just
that.
10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,240
Having also been tortured, he signed a
confession about his part in the alleged
11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,720
murder by gassing of millions of Jews
and others in the so -called death camp,
12
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:51,680
whose name became inextricably linked to
what is known as the Jewish Holocaust.
13
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:57,080
Even if torture and duress cannot be
proven, The overwhelming reason for
14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,480
recognizing the utter falsity of the
Hearst confession is that the gassing
15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,860
method he described is not
scientifically plausible.
16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,420
Yet it has stood by inference as a
testament to the cruelty of Germans in
17
00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:15,920
general since Rudolf Hearst was tried at
Nuremberg and subsequently hanged on
18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,000
April 16, 1947.
19
00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:23,780
Although specific evidence of Hearst's
torture did not surface until long after
20
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:29,930
he was executed, In February 1948,
shortly after the Nuremberg trials were
21
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:34,830
the thoughts of one of the American
judges, Charles F. Wennerstrom, were
22
00:01:34,830 --> 00:01:37,370
published in the Chicago Daily Tribune.
23
00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:42,950
The initial war crimes trial was judged
and prosecuted by Americans, Russians,
24
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:48,150
British and French, with much of the
time, effort and expenses devoted to
25
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:52,730
whitewashing the Allies and placing the
sole blame for World War II upon
26
00:01:52,730 --> 00:01:57,780
Germany. What I have said of the
nationalist character of the tribunals
27
00:01:57,780 --> 00:01:58,780
to the prosecution.
28
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:04,240
The high ideals announced as the motives
for creating these tribunals has not
29
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,240
been evident.
30
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,940
The prosecution has failed to maintain
objectivity aloof from vindictiveness,
31
00:02:10,139 --> 00:02:15,060
aloof from personal ambitions for
convictions. It has failed to strive to
32
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:19,020
down precedents which might help the
world to avoid future wars.
33
00:02:19,380 --> 00:02:22,260
The entire atmosphere here is
unwholesome.
34
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:27,700
Linguists were needed. The Americans are
notably poor linguists. Lawyers,
35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,940
clerks, interpreters and researchers
were employed who became Americans only
36
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:37,360
recent years, whose backgrounds were
embedded in Europe's hatreds and
37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,590
prejudices. Of course, any number of
refutations can be found for this and
38
00:02:42,590 --> 00:02:46,170
statements which are highly critical of
the way in which the Nuremberg trials
39
00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:51,350
were conducted, but Willestrom's words
stand as testament that dissenting
40
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:56,470
were already being heard less than a
year after the war crimes tribunals were
41
00:02:56,470 --> 00:03:01,290
over. But many individuals and groups,
particularly Jewish and Zionist
42
00:03:01,290 --> 00:03:05,710
organizations, would prefer that the
world remains ignorant of these
43
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:11,540
voices, and have coined the terms
Holocaust denial and revisionism in an
44
00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:16,160
to silence them. They have managed to
persuade the governments of many
45
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,060
civilized countries to criminalize any
adverse discussions of the details of
46
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:26,580
Holocaust on pain of imprisonment or a
heavy fine, on the basis that to
47
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:31,780
any facet of the official Holocaust
story somehow constitutes an incitement
48
00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:34,940
racial hatred or something equally
nonsensical.
49
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:40,360
I find it offensive beyond belief that a
combination of Jews and Zionists has
50
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,140
been able to persuade so many
governments that the Holocaust is the
51
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:50,620
in history on which open discussion will
not be permitted, which is a gross
52
00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:55,920
infringement of Article 19 in the United
Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
53
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,480
Everyone has the right to freedom of
opinion and expression.
54
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,860
This right includes freedom to hold
opinions without interference, and to
55
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,920
receive and impart information and ideas
through any media and regardless of
56
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,740
frontiers. But there are those who claim
that Article 20 of the United Nations
57
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:22,880
International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights can be used to take
58
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,080
basic right of freedom of expression
away from us.
59
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:31,740
Any advocacy of national, racial or
religious hatred that constitutes
60
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:36,920
to discrimination, hostility or violence
shall be prohibited by law.
61
00:04:37,220 --> 00:04:41,400
This is not unreasonable as long as the
wording is correctly interpreted.
62
00:04:41,860 --> 00:04:46,340
The key word is advocacy, which
according to the Shorter Oxford English
63
00:04:46,340 --> 00:04:51,800
Dictionary means the function of an
advocate, pleading for or supporting.
64
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,300
So as to make this absolutely clear, one
may substitute the appropriate expanded
65
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:01,740
meaning of the word advocacy into
Article 20 as follows.
66
00:05:02,490 --> 00:05:08,470
Any pleading for or supporting of
national, racial or religious hatred
67
00:05:08,470 --> 00:05:13,730
constitutes incitement to
discrimination, hostility or violence
68
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:15,190
prohibited by law.
69
00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:20,190
We should also look at the definition of
incitement. The root word is the verb
70
00:05:20,190 --> 00:05:23,970
incite. To urge or spur on, to stir up.
71
00:05:24,190 --> 00:05:25,430
instigate, stimulate.
72
00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:30,910
Thus incitement clearly means an
intention to cause others to take some
73
00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:35,490
action. It does not mean providing
information which may cause someone to
74
00:05:35,490 --> 00:05:36,490
something illegal.
75
00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:41,490
If I told a friend that I'd seen
pornographic material on display in a
76
00:05:41,490 --> 00:05:47,090
where his daughter buys her teen
magazines and he smashed the shop's
77
00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:51,150
rubbished the offensive material, I
could not be held responsible for his
78
00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:56,760
actions because merely imparting
information is not inciting another
79
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:57,760
take action.
80
00:05:57,940 --> 00:06:02,900
Revealing and disseminating material
contained in historical documents with a
81
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:08,120
conviction that the information is
plausible is not urging or spurring on
82
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:14,160
to take adverse action against any
national, racial or religious group. To
83
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,880
suggest that it is incitement is a gross
distortion of language known as
84
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,300
doublespeak. The word incitement has
been deliberately misinterpreted in the
85
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:28,020
past and this must not be allowed to
continue, because such doublespeak
86
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:31,920
demonstrates a level of dishonesty that
should never have been allowed to
87
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,740
insinuate itself into the legislation of
any nation which claims to uphold the
88
00:06:36,740 --> 00:06:40,640
accurate meaning and spirit of the
Declaration of Human Rights.
89
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,560
It cannot possibly be incitement to
racial or religious hatred to point out
90
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,000
something that is said to have happened
over 60 years ago may not have happened
91
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,940
in exactly the way it was reported to
have happened at that time.
92
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,940
The world had not even begun to recover
from the unbelievable suffering of
93
00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:04,880
hundreds of millions of people, not only
Jews, and the deaths of about 60
94
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,720
million human beings for reasons and
causes which may never be fully
95
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,840
Just as there is no disputing that
atomic bombs were dropped on Japanese
96
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,060
civilians, the Jewish concept of a
Holocaust cannot be denied.
97
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:23,600
But why should it be the only episode in
history that is off -limits to fair
98
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,440
comment and freedom of expression?
99
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Whatever the reason, such a ban is
certainly not in line with the
100
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,580
Human Rights, conferring, as it does, a
special privilege on one particular
101
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,920
group of people over all others.
102
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:43,520
Making certain details of the Holocaust
sacrosanct stirs deep suspicions in my
103
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,300
mind because it could mean that there
are those who wish to conceal certain
104
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:52,180
facts which may not reflect well on
themselves or on those who played an
105
00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:57,740
part in the deaths and suffering of Jews
and Gentiles alike before, during and
106
00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:00,060
immediately after that terrible war.
107
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,040
I cannot think of any other reason why
genuine historical research should be
108
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,280
characterized as being offensive to the
memories of those who died or as an
109
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,920
incitement to racial or religious
hatred.
110
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,400
And I often wonder why so many of the
people who seem to claim a special
111
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,620
privilege of remembrance for their own
suffering or for that of their forebears
112
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:25,400
and co -religionists are now persecuting
and killing others in a land that
113
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,080
Zionism has been insisting that they
were predestined to settle in since
114
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,240
the beginning of the 20th century.
115
00:08:32,539 --> 00:08:37,340
A land already occupied by Palestinians,
none of whose forebears were
116
00:08:37,340 --> 00:08:40,679
responsible for the death of a single
Jew in Europe.
117
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,440
during the period when the Holocaust
took place.
118
00:08:44,020 --> 00:08:48,900
It is the utter single -mindedness of
those who hunt down and persecute so
119
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:53,960
-called Holocaust deniers and
revisionists that I object to millions
120
00:08:54,140 --> 00:08:59,360
Not only Jews suffered and died horrible
deaths on battlefields, on the high
121
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,280
seas and in fire -bombed cities during a
conflict that may never have happened
122
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,360
had international jury not declared
economic war on Germany.
123
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:14,990
The front page of the London Daily
Express of March 24, 1933 says it all.
124
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:17,730
Judea declares war on Germany.
125
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:19,970
Jews of all the world unite.
126
00:09:20,430 --> 00:09:22,130
Boycott of German goods.
127
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:23,750
Mass demonstrations.
128
00:09:24,510 --> 00:09:29,430
One of the leaders of the movement,
Samuel Untermyer, ignored pleas from
129
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:34,530
who lived in Germany not to go ahead
with the boycott, for obvious reasons,
130
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:38,190
on August 6, 1933, he said this.
131
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:40,420
on WABC New York.
132
00:09:41,020 --> 00:09:45,800
Each of you, Jew and Gentile alike, who
has not already enlisted in this sacred
133
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,300
war, should do so now and here.
134
00:09:48,580 --> 00:09:52,940
It is not sufficient that you should buy
no goods made in Germany. You must
135
00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:57,940
refuse to deal with any merchant or
shopkeeper who sells any German -made
136
00:09:57,940 --> 00:10:00,700
or who patronizes German ships or
shipping.
137
00:10:01,180 --> 00:10:05,300
We will undermine the Hitler regime and
bring the German people to their senses
138
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:09,980
by destroying their export trade on
which their very existence depends.
139
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Bernard Barrack joined Samuel Untermyer
in calling for an economic boycott and
140
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,940
at the same time was promoting
preparations for a shooting war.
141
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:24,040
I emphasise that the defeat of Germany
and Japan in their elimination from
142
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,320
trade would give Britain a tremendous
opportunity to swell her foreign
143
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,360
in both volume and profit.
144
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:33,930
And Bernard Barrack was no stranger to
the profits of war.
145
00:10:34,130 --> 00:10:38,270
After Woodrow Wilson brought the United
States into what became known as the
146
00:10:38,270 --> 00:10:43,250
Great War, he appointed Barrack chairman
of the War Industries Board, where he
147
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:47,030
had control of all domestic contracts
for Allied war materials.
148
00:10:47,450 --> 00:10:51,930
A service to his country, of course,
which it is estimated benefited him
149
00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:57,790
personally to the tune of $200 million,
over $35 billion in today's terms.
150
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,160
Oh yes, wars mean profits, but only for
those who don't have to risk their own
151
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,420
lives fighting them.
152
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,180
Bernard Barak died in New York City in
1965,
153
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,680
20 years and almost 60 million deaths
after the end of the war he'd advocated.
154
00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:21,300
When looking at historical events and
their far -reaching consequences, it is
155
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:25,240
essential to try and understand the
context in which they took place.
156
00:11:26,060 --> 00:11:30,700
At the time of the Jewish declaration of
economic war, the political picture in
157
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:32,420
Germany was extremely volatile.
158
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,700
In certain circles, it has been largely
forgotten, perhaps conveniently, that
159
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:42,280
Jews formed a substantial proportion of
the Bolshevik elite at the birth of the
160
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,580
Soviet Union, little more than a decade
earlier, and that many German Jews
161
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:49,500
supported communism during Hitler's rise
to power.
162
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,700
Those who remember or who have learned
about the McCarthy era in the United
163
00:11:54,700 --> 00:12:00,000
States should be able to understand the
fears of Germans in the early 1930s to
164
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,380
what many of them saw as the real threat
of a Jewish -led communist takeover.
165
00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:09,480
Add to that international Jewry's openly
promoted aim to destroy its economy,
166
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:14,180
how can it not be understood that a rise
of anti -Jewish sentiment in Germany
167
00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:18,520
was inevitable and far more rational
than it is characterized today?
168
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:38,160
In that speech, Rabbi Stephen Wise,
claiming to speak for all Americans,
169
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,740
the Jews of Germany into the enemy
inside the gates.
170
00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:47,260
Make no mistake, this declaration of war
was the Jewish initiative and the
171
00:12:47,260 --> 00:12:51,480
reason why the Jews of Europe were later
herded into concentration camps.
172
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,800
Today, with no mention of the context,
the not unreasonable fears of the
173
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,480
are denigrated as being anti -Semitic,
pure and simple.
174
00:13:00,820 --> 00:13:05,680
A later circumstance with similar
overtones was the fear generated in the
175
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:10,100
States by the attack on Pearl Harbor,
which led to the rounding up and
176
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:13,220
internment of all people of Japanese
descent.
177
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,180
As a result of their confinement for the
duration, many of them lost their
178
00:13:18,180 --> 00:13:24,260
homes, jobs, businesses, friends and
savings, and many of them died in those
179
00:13:24,260 --> 00:13:25,260
prison camps.
180
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,260
But for the imprisoned Japanese, there
was nothing similar to the Zionist pact
181
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:35,240
with Hitler known as the Transfer
Agreement, which allowed German Jews to
182
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,180
for the safe haven of Palestine.
183
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,560
This was only made possible because of
the infamous Balfour Declaration of
184
00:13:43,340 --> 00:13:48,500
converted to the Palestine Mandate by
the Council of the League of Nations on
185
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:49,500
July 24,
186
00:13:50,209 --> 00:13:53,910
1922, a section of which reads as
follows.
187
00:13:54,590 --> 00:13:59,810
Adopted by the said powers in favour of
the establishment in Palestine of a
188
00:13:59,810 --> 00:14:04,410
national home for the Jewish people, it
being clearly understood that nothing
189
00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:09,090
should be done which might prejudice the
civil and religious rights of existing
190
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:11,850
non -Jewish communities in Palestine.
191
00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:17,410
And as we all know, the nations involved
have done next to nothing over the
192
00:14:17,410 --> 00:14:22,300
years. to pay even lip service to the
rights of the non -Jewish communities
193
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:25,740
had been well established on that land
for hundreds of years.
194
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,500
It was nothing less than blatant land
theft, arranged between the British and
195
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:35,860
the second Baron Rothschild, who agreed
to bring his influence to bear to bring
196
00:14:35,860 --> 00:14:41,100
America into what became known as the
Great War, to help defeat Germany.
197
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,960
To explain the full implications of the
transfer agreement would need a feature
198
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,340
-length video, so I will just recommend
that those who are interested in finding
199
00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:53,860
out more follow the links in the notes
to this video.
200
00:14:54,140 --> 00:14:59,100
However, what can be fairly stated is
that this agreement was without doubt
201
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:04,720
essential to Theodor Herzl's stated
objective as recorded in his diary
202
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,860
the first Zionist Congress in 1897.
203
00:15:08,810 --> 00:15:14,450
At Baal, I founded the Jewish state. If
I said this out loud today, I would be
204
00:15:14,450 --> 00:15:16,230
greeted by universal laughter.
205
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:22,530
In five years, perhaps, and certainly in
50 years, everyone will perceive it.
206
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:26,770
51 years later, the State of Israel was
established.
207
00:15:27,190 --> 00:15:31,770
So it is quite clear that the Holocaust
was not the reason why the State of
208
00:15:31,770 --> 00:15:35,950
Israel came into being, but it can be
truthfully said that without the
209
00:15:35,950 --> 00:15:39,990
Holocaust, making Israel happen would
have been a much more difficult
210
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:40,990
undertaking.
211
00:15:41,310 --> 00:15:46,190
There are many articles on the internet
which refer to offers made by the Nazis
212
00:15:46,190 --> 00:15:50,350
to the Zionists which indicate that many
Jews who died in the concentration
213
00:15:50,350 --> 00:15:52,450
camps could have been saved.
214
00:15:52,750 --> 00:15:58,730
In his book, From the Depths, published
after his death in 1960, Rabbi Michael
215
00:15:58,730 --> 00:16:04,380
Dov Be 'er Weissmandl, a Jewish rescue
negotiator, described how he was told by
216
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:09,940
the Nazis in 1943 that he could have all
the Jews in Western Europe and the
217
00:16:09,940 --> 00:16:12,400
Balkans for 2 million American dollars.
218
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,820
The offer was referred to the Zionists
in Switzerland, who turned it down.
219
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:22,600
But with the refusal came another
letter, written in Hebrew, which
220
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,320
following. About the cries coming from
your country, we should know that all
221
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,840
allied nations are spilling much of
their blood, and if we do not sacrifice
222
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,720
blood, By what right shall we merit
coming before the bargaining table when
223
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,660
divide nations and lands at the war's
end?
224
00:16:40,020 --> 00:16:44,980
Among the thousands of Holocaust books
which cast the Germans as the sole and
225
00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:49,860
ultimate villains in this tragic story
of human suffering, there appears to be
226
00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:52,820
no English translation of Weissmantel's
book.
227
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,320
What a surprise!
228
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,440
But then the pages of history are
punctuated by the portraits of people
229
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,579
thought nothing of sacrificing
thousands, even millions of lives, the
230
00:17:04,579 --> 00:17:08,900
their enemies and of their own citizens,
to follow their dreams of world
231
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:11,599
domination or a better social structure.
232
00:17:11,859 --> 00:17:16,060
The well -protected elite of powerful
nations, whether inclined toward
233
00:17:16,060 --> 00:17:20,920
imperialistic or socialistic ideologies,
show little concern for the lesser
234
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,550
people they are prepared to sacrifice
for some twisted concept of the greater
235
00:17:25,550 --> 00:17:30,430
good. Selling the idea of fighting and
dying for one's country or for some
236
00:17:30,430 --> 00:17:35,750
esoteric concept of world unity is as
natural to them as the act of filling
237
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:39,810
their own pockets with the profits from
armaments contracts is for their
238
00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:44,790
advisors. So would it be such a great
surprise to learn that some lesser
239
00:17:44,790 --> 00:17:50,190
had been sacrificed for the greater good
of establishing a new nation based on
240
00:17:50,190 --> 00:17:51,770
the ideology of Zionism?
241
00:17:52,510 --> 00:17:56,910
For anyone with an interest in these
matters, not to even consider such a
242
00:17:56,910 --> 00:18:00,790
possibility would suggest a stunning
degree of naivety.
243
00:18:01,010 --> 00:18:05,790
Or is it that so many otherwise
intelligent people have been cowed into
244
00:18:05,790 --> 00:18:09,190
by the ADL and other anti -free speech
organizations?
245
00:18:10,170 --> 00:18:15,750
The transfer agreement caused much
consternation in 1984, the author's
246
00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:18,450
saying, I told him he's not my son
anymore.
247
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:21,270
And his father, I tell him I don't like
it.
248
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,800
Because as being a Jew, I didn't want
something to uncover on my own people.
249
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,080
So what is it about the Holocaust story
that needs so much protection?
250
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:35,100
Germans planned and perpetrated the
Holocaust.
251
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:41,040
We must confront this fact and accept
our own guilt and the responsibility
252
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,040
we felt from it.
253
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,140
Hang on. Some Germans may have done what
you say.
254
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:49,190
But not the wonderful German girl that I
met in London in 1958.
255
00:18:49,550 --> 00:18:52,710
She would have been eight years old when
the war ended.
256
00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:58,070
This apparently self -hating German
justice minister is claiming that
257
00:18:58,070 --> 00:19:00,610
must bear the guilt for the sins of
their fathers.
258
00:19:00,910 --> 00:19:03,770
That is a monstrous concept from the
book of Exodus.
259
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:09,070
And in my book, far closer to hate
speech than many of the criticisms one
260
00:19:09,070 --> 00:19:11,910
about Zionist excesses in Gaza, for
example.
261
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,840
Her contribution to a podcast series
called Voices of Antisemitism ended with
262
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,220
this incitement to disregard Article 19
of the United Nations Declaration of
263
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:24,220
Human Rights.
264
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,660
It remains important that we do not
leave any room for Holocaust deniers.
265
00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:32,560
How many times does it need to be said?
266
00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:37,720
Questioning certain details about the
Holocaust is not denying it happened.
267
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,970
But in the interest of balance... it is
just as important that we do not leave
268
00:19:42,970 --> 00:19:49,110
room for Holocaust liars. The grotesque
power without responsibility of the Anti
269
00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:53,750
-Defamation League under Abe Foxman,
whose accusations of Holocaust denial,
270
00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:59,590
antisemitism, hatred, prejudice, bigotry
and discrimination echo around the so
271
00:19:59,590 --> 00:20:04,310
-called free world, resulting in loss of
jobs, fines and prison sentences,
272
00:20:04,810 --> 00:20:09,250
allows the lies told about certain
details of the Holocaust to remain on
273
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:11,930
countless Internet websites with
impunity.
274
00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:15,030
Here is a blatant yet often repeated
example.
275
00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:17,750
Scroll down and you will find this
sentence.
276
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:24,130
In Auschwitz II, Birkenau, more than 20
,000 people could be gassed and cremated
277
00:20:24,130 --> 00:20:25,130
each day.
278
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:31,100
Yet 23 years ago the manager of a large
crematory testified under oath at a
279
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:36,580
trial in Canada that this allegation was
simply preposterous and beyond the
280
00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:37,620
realm of reality.
281
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:43,980
On this website there is a teacher's
guide to the Holocaust which includes
282
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:44,980
chilling statements.
283
00:20:45,420 --> 00:20:50,520
1. An entire state bureaucracy was
mobilized solely for the purpose of
284
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,580
annihilating Jews.
285
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:57,620
2. German technological expertise was
harnessed to make the mass murder as
286
00:20:57,620 --> 00:20:59,780
efficient and low -cost as possible.
287
00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:05,060
I have been unable to unearth any
specifics about the alleged entire state
288
00:21:05,060 --> 00:21:10,080
bureaucracy, official documents,
directives, blueprints and other records
289
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,280
the Germans were known to be meticulous
about, and the second statement appears
290
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,740
to be at odds with what actually
happened.
291
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:21,940
Now there is no denying that German
science and engineering was second to
292
00:21:22,270 --> 00:21:23,890
at the beginning of World War II.
293
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:30,030
Planes, tanks, the V -1 and V -2 and
other weaponry were quickly developed
294
00:21:30,030 --> 00:21:34,150
their rocket scientists were snatched up
by the US and the Soviets for their
295
00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:36,570
space programs at the end of the war.
296
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:42,490
So the question is, given the
technological expertise that was
297
00:21:42,490 --> 00:21:46,890
the Germans so stupid that they would
leave it to prison camp commanders to
298
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:50,930
devise their own methods for carrying
out the greatest mass murder in history?
299
00:21:52,140 --> 00:21:55,300
Here are some excerpts from Hertha's
Nuremberg testimony.
300
00:21:55,660 --> 00:22:01,340
I had the order to produce extermination
facilities in Auschwitz in June 1942.
301
00:22:02,060 --> 00:22:07,680
The camp commander of Treblinka used
monoxide gas and according to his
302
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,800
his methods were not very effective.
303
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,080
When I built the annihilation building
in Auschwitz, I therefore used Zyklon B,
304
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,940
a crystallized hydrocyanic acid.
305
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:21,660
which we threw into the death chamber
through a small opening.
306
00:22:21,980 --> 00:22:27,220
It took 3 to 15 minutes, depending on
the climatic conditions, in order to
307
00:22:27,220 --> 00:22:28,860
the people in the death chamber.
308
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,400
Zyklon B is in pellet form.
309
00:22:31,660 --> 00:22:38,260
The absorbed hydrocyanic acid vaporizes
at 25 .7 degrees C, although some
310
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:41,460
vapor is given off when the pellets are
exposed to air.
311
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,140
Despite the mention of climatic
conditions, unless the air and the
312
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:51,880
floor of the gas chamber were
approaching a temperature of 25 .7
313
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,580
killing period far in excess of 3 to 15
minutes would have been required.
314
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:01,140
The average yearly temperature at
Auschwitz is 8 degrees C.
315
00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:07,080
So was Hurst so stupid that he devised a
system of mass murder that would only
316
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,020
have worked, with any degree of
efficiency, during the summer months?
317
00:23:11,610 --> 00:23:15,970
It is of no consequence that claims have
been made that in the cold months hot
318
00:23:15,970 --> 00:23:19,650
air was blown into the alleged gas
chamber because it would have been an
319
00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:24,270
absurdly inefficient method of
liberating gas from pellets that were
320
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:26,970
lying on a cold concrete floor.
321
00:23:27,370 --> 00:23:29,530
And Hertha's confession continued.
322
00:23:29,970 --> 00:23:35,190
We waited, usually a half hour, before
we opened the doors and removed the
323
00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:40,550
bodies. Please note that Hearst does not
mention any ventilation procedure which
324
00:23:40,550 --> 00:23:44,970
would have been essential for removing
the remains of a deadly gas that had
325
00:23:44,970 --> 00:23:50,290
killed upwards of 2000 people, nor has
any evidence of a chimney or the
326
00:23:50,290 --> 00:23:52,770
necessary machinery ever come to light.
327
00:23:53,250 --> 00:23:57,730
Earlier, in a confession which was
obtained under extreme mental and
328
00:23:57,730 --> 00:23:59,910
duress, this paragraph appears.
329
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:07,320
I commanded Auschwitz up to December
1st, 1943, and estimate that at least 2
330
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,920
,500 ,000 victims were put to death and
exterminated there through gassing and
331
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:18,080
burning. At least a further half million
died through hunger and sickness, which
332
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,200
amounts to a total number of
approximately 3 million dead.
333
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:27,520
However, it has since been discovered
that this number was wildly inflated.
334
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:33,640
and was officially reduced to just over
1 million in July 1990 by the Auschwitz
335
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,640
State Museum.
336
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,700
And there are those who are convinced
that this estimate is still too high.
337
00:24:39,180 --> 00:24:44,040
Each and every one of these deaths was a
tragedy, as were the deaths of millions
338
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,280
of others during this terrible conflict.
339
00:24:46,540 --> 00:24:51,300
But this does not mean that we should be
prevented from finding out how and why
340
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,300
they died.
341
00:24:52,410 --> 00:24:56,350
So along with the revised death toll and
Hirth's scientifically impossible
342
00:24:56,350 --> 00:24:59,950
gassing method, the following should be
taken into account.
343
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:05,530
Steven F. Pinter, who served as a lawyer
for the United States War Department in
344
00:25:05,530 --> 00:25:10,570
the occupation forces in Germany and
Austria for six years after the war,
345
00:25:10,570 --> 00:25:11,670
the following statement.
346
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:17,870
I was in Dachau for 17 months after the
war as a U .S. Department Attorney and
347
00:25:17,870 --> 00:25:20,870
can state that there was no gas chamber
at Dachau.
348
00:25:21,690 --> 00:25:26,350
What was shown to visitors and
sightseers there and erroneously
349
00:25:26,350 --> 00:25:28,150
gas chamber was a crematory.
350
00:25:28,510 --> 00:25:33,870
Nor was there a gas chamber at any of
the other concentration camps in
351
00:25:34,550 --> 00:25:39,850
Dr. Charles Larson, a highly regarded
American pathologist, was appointed by
352
00:25:39,850 --> 00:25:44,410
Judge Advocate General's Department to
investigate the conditions and the cause
353
00:25:44,410 --> 00:25:46,210
of so many deaths in the camps.
354
00:25:46,750 --> 00:25:52,730
After overseeing thousands of autopsies,
he concluded, not one case of death by
355
00:25:52,730 --> 00:25:54,610
poison gas was found.
356
00:25:55,150 --> 00:26:00,350
As Dr. Larson and other Allied medical
men discovered, the chief cause of death
357
00:26:00,350 --> 00:26:02,970
was disease, above all, typhus.
358
00:26:03,170 --> 00:26:08,570
It is well known that hydrogen cyanide
was used at the camps for the delousing
359
00:26:08,570 --> 00:26:13,310
of prisoners' clothes and other
materials, for the very purpose of
360
00:26:13,310 --> 00:26:19,000
alive, and in the labor camps,
Productive. As would be expected, the
361
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,420
Germans installed purpose -built
machinery to heat the Zyklon B pellets,
362
00:26:24,420 --> 00:26:29,580
retain them for recycling, and to
ventilate the rooms following each
363
00:26:29,580 --> 00:26:35,480
cycle. And again, it must be asked, were
the Germans so stupid that they would
364
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,700
have left it to the various camp
commanders to deal with the far more
365
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:42,700
task of murdering millions of human
beings?
366
00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:50,050
Historian Robert Forisson, who has been
persecuted, prosecuted, beaten up, fined
367
00:26:50,050 --> 00:26:54,990
and fired from his job for daring to
exercise his right to free speech,
368
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:55,969
a clue.
369
00:26:55,970 --> 00:27:01,190
For more than half a century, Germany's
accusers have, in the end, revealed
370
00:27:01,190 --> 00:27:06,190
their inability to let us see a single
specimen of the alleged weapons of mass
371
00:27:06,190 --> 00:27:11,460
destruction that the Nazis are said to
have designed, built, or used for the
372
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:13,480
destruction of the European Jews.
373
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:19,160
If you recall the concerns that Charles
F. Wennerstrom had during the Nuremberg
374
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,640
trials, this should be of equal concern.
375
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,000
A former U .S. Senator, Thomas Dodd, who
became second in command of the
376
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:34,000
American prosecution team, wrote the
following on September 25, 1945, two
377
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,480
before the trials had even begun.
378
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,640
You know I have despised anti -Semitism.
379
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,640
You know how strongly I feel toward
those who preach intolerance of any
380
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,000
With that knowledge, you will understand
when I tell you that this staff is
381
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,840
about 75 % Jewish.
382
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:56,000
Now my point is that the Jews should
stay away from this trial for their own
383
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,460
sake. For mark this well, the charge of
a war for the Jews is still being made,
384
00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:05,460
and in the post -war years it will be
made again and again.
385
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:11,010
The too large percentage of Jewish men
and women here will be cited as proof of
386
00:28:11,010 --> 00:28:12,010
this charge.
387
00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:16,070
Sometimes it seems that the Jews will
never learn about these things.
388
00:28:16,330 --> 00:28:20,250
They seem intent on bringing new
difficulties down on their own heads.
389
00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:25,470
I do not like to write about this
matter. It is distasteful to me, but I
390
00:28:25,470 --> 00:28:30,290
disturbed about it. They are pushing and
crowding and competing with each other
391
00:28:30,290 --> 00:28:31,910
and with everyone else.
392
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,960
The undeniable fact that at least two of
the judges expressed grave concerns
393
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,660
about the conduct of the trials cannot
be lightly dismissed.
394
00:28:40,940 --> 00:28:43,800
So the following questions have great
relevance.
395
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,960
Was the evidence given by Stephen F.
Pinter that there were no human gas
396
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,680
chambers in any of the German camps
overlooked or deliberately suppressed?
397
00:28:55,380 --> 00:28:59,380
Was the evidence given by pathologist
Dr. Charles Larson?
398
00:28:59,820 --> 00:29:05,280
that not one case of death by poison gas
was found overlooked or deliberately
399
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,280
suppressed.
400
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,120
How could the obviously absurd figure of
20 ,000 people being gassed and
401
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:17,360
cremated at one camp in a single day
have been accepted by the prosecution
402
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,980
defense lawyers as well as the judges
without question?
403
00:29:22,410 --> 00:29:26,930
How could it be that no scientists were
questioned about the plausibility of
404
00:29:26,930 --> 00:29:32,290
Rudolf Hoesse's confession as to the
method he stated was used to gas
405
00:29:32,290 --> 00:29:38,610
of people at one time in one unheated,
unventilated room at Auschwitz using
406
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,190
unheated Zyklon B?
407
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:49,320
No nation, organization, association, no
religious sect, no open, closed or
408
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:54,760
secret society, nor any individual has
the right to prevent me from seeking the
409
00:29:54,760 --> 00:30:00,880
answers to these and other questions,
should I choose to ask them privately or
410
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,620
publicly. It is my right, under the
protection of Article 19 of the United
411
00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:09,180
Nations Declaration of Human Rights,
412
00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:12,450
It is also yours.
