An extremely interesting series of comments has been published in connection with my post of December 17, “Gas Chamber Lies: Dachau”. Please don’t miss them.
As in George Orwell’s “1984”, where a major public truth can become a lie overnight and be replaced by a contradictory truth, “established truths” about gas chambers have a history of magical and incompatible transformations. This article by Masanori Nishioka from the Japanese magazine “Marco Polo” includes the following indisputable account of such a stage magician’s trick:
“On Aug. 26, 1960. Dr. Martin Broszat, a historian who was in a position to be a Second World War and ‘Holocaust’ spokesman for the West German (Federal Republic) government, made a statement to the effect that the Nazis built ‘gas chambers’ only in occupied Poland and that there were no "gas chambers" in Germany proper (Die Zeit, Aug. 26, 1960).
“Dr. Broszat was head of the West German government's Institute for Contemporary History in Munich, which until that time had announced a great many ‘proofs’ of the existence of ‘gas chambers,’ and was recognized as the organization that reflected the German government point of view on historical matters. It was Dr. Broszat himself, head of the Institute for Contemporary History, who suddenly denied the existence of what had been ‘fact’ until the day before: ‘gas chambers’ in Germany proper, in such places as Dachau and Buchenwald.
“From that day forward, the ‘truth’ of the ‘Holocaust’ was ‘revised,’ and the ‘Dachau gas chamber’ and the ‘Buchenwald gas chamber,’ which had ‘existed’ until the day before, suddenly ceased to exist.
“However, in his declaration, Dr. Broszat did not offer a single reason to explain this ‘revision of the truth.’
"After Broszat's declaration the ‘accepted fact’ was established throughout the world that Nazi ‘gas chambers’ were built only in Poland, and in 1975 even the famous Jewish activist and Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal made a declaration confirming that there were no ‘gas chambers’ in Germany proper.”
Simon Wiesenthal, the leading "Nazi hunter" whose name is given to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, admitted in a letter to the British periodical, “Books and Bookmen” (April 1975, p5) that "there were no extermination camps on German soil..."
The conscientious Japanese article cited above was carefully researched over a long period by its author and the publisher’s staff and was published in a widely read high-end men’s magazine comparable to “Esquire” is in the U.S. Although the facts in the article are correct, the publication gave rise to a shocking attack by groups dedicated to preserving “Holocaust” myths on the “Marco Polo” magazine. Among the axe wielders were the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the government of Israel. I would have thought that a Japanese magazine would be immune to such threats and slanders because there is little Jewish presence in Japan, but as often happens the attacking groups got to the publisher primarily through advertisers. . . and the magazine was closed down!
The web page linked above summarizes that disgraceful episode:
“This special report provides background to the campaign by international Holocaust pressure groups to punish a major Japanese publisher for allowing an article questioning the Nazi gas chambers to appear in one of its magazines. The article, by physician Masanori Nishioka, appeared in the February 1995 issue of Marco Polo, a 250,000-circulation monthly aimed at Japanese males. Jewish-Zionist groups such as the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, instigated a boycott of Bungei Shunju advertisers, including Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, and Cartier. Within days, Bungei Shunju shut down Marco Polo. Soon thereafter, Marco Polo's successful and respected editor, Kazuyoshi Hanada, quit, as did the president of Bungei Shunju, Kengo Tanaka. (A full report can be found in an article in the March/April 1995 Journal of Historical Review, available from the IHR.)”

Gas Chamber Lies: Auschwitz
The second thing in my personal experience (after my visit to Dachau) which convinced me that the “holocaust” was a myth, was research I did in Washington, D.C. using U.S. Air Force aerial photographs taken at low altitudes over Auschwitz by bombers tuning up their cameras before daylight bombing runs over certain German cities.
As we all know, once the claims of “extermination camps” with gas chambers all over Germany and Europe were admitted to be false, the huge prison camp and industrial complex at Auschwitz, Poland,(so large that it absorbed several towns) became the final bastion of the “holocaust” gas chamber myth. It has been defended desperately because when it is gone, the holocausters have nowhere left to fall back. In the process, many a contradictory story has been told about it.
I studied the American Air Force photographs at a government archive in Washington around 1978. They were very large original photographs, with dates and times. They covered a period of months in 1944 (and, as I recall, 1945) when “eyewitnesses” said that the concentration camp at Auschwitz had been gassing and burning Jews in great numbers.
As a lawyer taking part in litigation, I had read affidavits of persons who claimed to have been inmates at Auschwitz during that time. They described smoke billowing from the crematoria day and night, blackening the sky -- especially during May, June, and early July 1944 when a large “shipment” of Hungarian Jews was allegedly exterminated around the clock.
What I saw in the aerial photographs can be described quickly and simply: Not one picture showed the slightest sign of the alleged extermination activities. There was no smoke at all over Auschwitz on any occasion. The crematoria chimneys were quiescent and cool. The nearest and only smoke I ever saw in the sunny landscape was outside the camp in a farmer’s field – a small fire burning brush.
(In any city or complex of towns the size of Auschwitz, disposal of dead bodies would require significant facilities. Cremation was the method at Auschwitz, in part because (I've been told) the complex was situated on terrain which did not lend itself to graveyards. Early in the evolution of the Auschwitz legends there were stories of huge mass burial pits which apparently were never found. It was the crematoria which became the focus of the gas chamber lies.)
Furthermore, not a single photograph showed the often described lines of prisoners waiting to enter the “gas chambers”. The only queue was a short one in an open area far from the crematoria, in which a few inmates appeared to be nonchalantly lined up in front of a shelter to receive food or drink or some other handout.
As you can tell, the Air Force photographs were taken relatively close to the ground and showed much detail. If there had been people in a particular area they would have been clearly discernible. If smoke had been coming out of a chimney (or a pit), it would have been unmistakable.
I have absolutely no doubt that those pictures completely destroy the Auschwitz myth and lay bare the lies of the many “witnesses” who contributed to creating that myth.
At least one “eyewitness” claimed that when he arrived at Auschwitz and got off his train, from where he stood he could see lines of prisoners filing into “gas chamber” buildings. One of the advantages of the aerial photographs is that they provide live “maps” of the huge Auschwitz-Birkenau complex. A look at the layout of the camp around the railway lines and reception areas showed that the “eyewitness” could not possibly have seen the areas he claimed to have seen. . . unless he had the ability to look through buildings, walls, and hedges. He was simply lying. There is no way around it.
I could give other striking examples of “holocaust” witnesses fabricating stories, and I will, but for now I will just remark, based on many examples I saw in documents and photos related to legal actions and elsewhere, that the degree of dishonesty among those promoting the “holocaust” tales is astonishing. We can't believe anything they say. Pictures which might have been taken anywhere are captioned as showing things they don’t show -- as where piles of corpses of German civilians killed in Allied bombings are labeled “concentration camp victims”, or a photograph of an SS officer has been altered so that his shadow falls TOWARD the light source. A photographic view of the tops of Auschwitz buildings is said to show “ports for introducing gas”, when there is absolutely no evidence that the features of the buildings were used for any such thing. In fact detailed studies of the “gas chamber” buildings have proved that they could not possibly have been used as gas chambers and never were.
False captions, false labels, rigged and retouched photographs, transparently false “eyewitness” reports, and plain old-fashioned conclusory lies which continue to be told long after completely discredited – these and many more examples of blatant chicanery are found throughout the “evidence” of the holocaust myth supporters. I know of no better single antidote to the poison of untruth than the aerial photographs of Auschwitz.

Gas Chamber Lies: Dachau
I want to make a few preliminary comments on the “holocaust” based entirely on my own experience. Please remember that this is an informal personal blog which bounces where it will and makes no pretense of being the equivalent of a thoroughly researched book on any subject. If someone challenges me I will do the research necessary to respond, but until then I will enjoy presenting my views and experiences in a sometimes impressionistic way – staying ahead of the holocausters by always trying to be honest and accurate and never publishing any alleged fact which I think is questionable.
As a university instructor in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s I was blessed with full summer vacations with pay. Presumably that was not just to help make up for the low salaries but also to allow experiences which would broaden the academic mind, and so I dutifully traveled in Europe for two whole summers. The first trip was so few years after the end of the war in 1945 that I saw many bombed buildings and much rubble in German cities.
In Munich we happened to meet an American man and his German wife. They kindly showed us around, and we attended a musical and comedy show in a Munich theater – replete with Spatenbrau and Munich delicacies. The program was quite different from the heavily Jewish-influenced vaudeville-type stage shows in America. It was more along the lines of Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion”: Country comedians, slap dancers, yodelers, bell ringers, singers, glockenspiel artists, Alpenhorn players . . .
Among the performing groups was a small, old-fashioned German band from the town of Dachau, about 20 kilometers from Munich. Our hostess whispered, “They’re very ashamed of what happened in their town.”
Of course I had heard of Dachau. It was the site of one of the “death camps” or "extermination camps" the public had been told were situated all over Germany, whose main business was the gassing of Jews. Its most distinctive, and undoubtedly most photographed feature, was the “Arbeit Macht Frei” (literally “Work Makes Free”) gate. The motto was accurate because Dachau was in fact a labor camp.
Taking a tour of the concentration camp at Dachau, we were led, along with many other visitors, into a huge shower room whose ceiling was covered with pipes and dozens of shower heads. I shuddered as we were told that crowds of Jews would be herded in for showers, the door would be locked, and then instead of water, poison gas would pour from the shower heads and asphyxiate all the prisoners, whose bodies would then be hauled out to the crematoria.
There was no doubt at all expressed in the guide’s lecture: We had seen a gas chamber, and Dachau was prominently listed for years a one of as number of concentration camps in Germany with a gas chamber kept busy exterminating Jews.
Well, it turns out that what we saw at Dachau was just what it looked like – a big shower room built for purposes of hygiene, not murder. Thoughtful inspection would have revealed, in fact, that the shower room could not have been used as a gas chamber, and bodies hauled from it, without killing people all over the neighborhood.
No one was ever gassed at Dachau.
It is an odd phenomenon that as the holocaust myth burgeoned after World War II into a full-fledged money-making industry and an argument for the Jewish colonization of Palestine, the number of concentration camps in Germany which were supposed to have had gas chambers shrank. At what point Dachau was removed from the “gas chamber” list I don’t know, but after awhile not ONE camp in Germany was seriously alleged to have used gas chambers to kill Jews.
The story told to me in the Dachau shower room was a bald faced lie. So were the stories about the other “gas chambers” in camps in Germany . “Simon Wiesenthal re-confirmed that "there were no extermination camps on German soil" during the Second World War.”
“What the ‘Nazi hunter’ now says contrasts sharply with what was authoritatively claimed in the decades following the Second World War. At the great Nuremberg Tribunal of 1945-1946, for example, Allied government officials presented apparently conclusive evidence to prove that camps ‘on German soil’ -- such as Dachau and Buchenwald -- were ‘extermination’ centers. Sir Hartley Shawcross, chief British prosecutor at the main Nuremberg trial, accordingly declared in his closing address on July 26, 1946, that ‘murder [was] conducted like some mass production industry in the gas chambers and the ovens’ of Buchenwald, Dachau, Oranienburg -- all 'on German soil' -- as well as at other German-run camps [such as Bergen-Belsen]. Abundant 'proof' that inmates were gassed at Dachau has been provided over the years, most notably at the main Nuremberg trial of 1945-1946. Former inmate Dr. Franz Blaha, for example, provided eyewitness testimony at Nuremberg about gas chamber killings there of 'many prisoners.'"
Nobody "made a mistake". The gas chamber stories were deliberately manufactured for propaganda purposes – in particular to make Germans look guilty (and falsely justify their executions) and to increase sympathy for the Jews.
There are excellent sources which expose concentration camp and gas chamber legends. For now I will end with just this thought:
If someone tells you a dozen lies about something, and then admits reluctantly and gradually that every lie was a lie, would you believe the liar if he clung to a last remaining similar story and said, “But this one really IS true?”
