As, I believe, you do as well. Who do you think is behind this movement
and what is their purpose in pushing it?
About two years ago I spent a great deal of time studying the
question of whether or not the Holocaust happened as we are taught in
the schools and media. I went at it as neutral as possible, realizing
long before my studies began that we are lied to constantly. In fact, at
the end of my studies I came to the conclusion that the Holocaust was
not truthfully portrayed by our common history books. So, I guess you
might call me a "revisionist". However, the anomalies that had lead many
to doubt the whole genocide story lead me to believe that, in fact, that
the British intelligence had known through their ability to break the
German codes of details of the Holocaust from near its beginning. And, I
believe that this has been one of the reasons why no debate on this
subject is allowed. For it was obvious to me after a while that many
details of the Holocaust which the deniers were bringing out could only
be explained by the fact that British Intelligence had known from the
beginning. I gave a speech at a meeting in Atlanta to a group called
"Americans for Lawful Government" reporting my findings. It was well
received and of those few members who had been leaning towards the
denier's position, most saw the error of their arguments and renounced
them and the rest stopped attending. During my speech I mentioned my
belief that the British Intelligence had known of the systematic
killings. Less then a month later AP verified my belief in the following
report:
Documents show Britain was
aware of Holocaust
Secret transcripts follow killings
'as they happened'

LONDON (AP) -- Winston Churchill
and other British leaders knew Nazi
Germany was killing Jews from the
first massacres in June 1941 to the final
concentration camp gassings in 1945,
according to intelligence documents released
Monday.
The previously classified transcripts of German
police radio
messages, intercepted by British code-breakers,
show senior
officials knew where Jews were being killed almost
from day to
day.
As Hitler's Third Reich conquered most of Europe
and marched
into the Soviet Union, the transcripts document the executions
that followed -- some involving just a few Jews and
others tens
of thousands.
It has long been known that Allied leaders were
aware of the
genocide before it became widespread public
knowledge. But the
hundreds of pages of documents released Monday suggest
senior wartime British officials had more
information about the
killing than previously believed.
"What these records reveal is how
much the British knew of the atrocities
as they were happening," said John
Fox, a lecturer in Jewish
history and
Holocaust studies at Jew's
College in
London.
Britain was able to obtain great
amounts of enemy material
because it
broke Germany's top-secret code -- nicknamed
Enigma. The
information was given only to Churchill and a few senior
intelligence officials.
Last fall, the U.S. National Security Agency
declassified a
handful of documents from the Public Record Office,
the British
government's archive.
The records, which were loaned to the U.S.
government in 1981
to aid in its war crimes investigation, revealed
that the British
knew the Nazis were systematically killing Jews in
the Soviet
Union as early as June 1941.
That was more than a year earlier than previously
acknowledged. It was not until December 17, 1942,
that the
Allies said they would prosecute Nazis for war
crimes when the
war ended.
Many historians raised questions about why the
British kept the
documents secret. Fox, however, said the British
used the
intelligence as evidence of war crimes.
"Nobody could do anything about the rescue of Jews
until the
Nazi Third Reich was militarily defeated," Fox
said.
The 1941 police messages released Monday show the
information the British government had about the Holocaust
was intimate and detailed.
"What we didn't have before is first-hand
documentary detail of
the killing -- and the killing is relentless," Fox
said.
For example, on July, 18, 1941, Erich von
dem Back-Zelewiski, a German police
commander in the Soviet republic of
Belarus, sent a message saying: "In
yesterday's cleansing action in Slonim,
carried out by Police Regiment Center,
1,153 Jewish plunderers were shot."
The newly-released documents also
reveal much closer cooperation between Hitler's
elite SS police
and regular army forces, the Wehrmacht, in killing
Jews, Fox
said.
One file documents the day-by-day deaths in 10 concentration
camps in 1942-43, including Auschwitz, Dachau and
Buchenwald. On September 7, 1942, it recorded 3,529
deaths at
Auschwitz.
A police message on September 6, 1944 reported a
shortage of
Zyklon-B, a gas used to murder Jews, at the
Mauthausen camp.
"The figure of executions in my area now exceeds
the 30,000
mark," the leader of an SS brigade in central
Russia reported in
August 1941.
The following July, an SS officer reported on a
"Jew operation"
in Ukraine and said, "700, being incapable of work,
were shot."
The declassified records also deal with more
mundane matters
-- including an order from air force chief Hermann Goering
banning "all public dance entertainments." There is
also a report
on the Nazi's systematic plundering of art and
cultural objects.
So now I do not have the single question of whether or not it
happened, but now I have two questions, first: Why did the allies do
nothing about it?
After the above was released I expected a lot of discussion on the
above question. I did not see any on the major news web sites. Then last
fall I went by the Holocaust Museum in Washington. I went by the library
there to see what they had on this. The librarian knew nothing about it
and even questioned if I might be mistaken. And, I could find nothing in
any of the Journals they carried about this revelation. The second
question, of course, is why not? Something is very fishy about this
whole thing. You would think that there would have been a lot more about
it in the news then, for instance, the Nazi gold in Switzerland. Also,
the documents should set the total number killed much more accurately
then was possible previously. Any ideas?
