ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny
April 19, 2002
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
Revisionists will say, "It's about time!"
[START]
Today is the eighth anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, by the
way. It seems like an eternity, doesn't it? I remember it well
because I did a keynote for a political audience - I remember it as a
Perot crowd - and I hadn't yet heard of those folks who call
themselves Revisionists. How time flies!
Dr. Faurisson sent me the following about a week ago, and it has been
sitting on my desk top ever since because I felt ambivalent about it.
It repeats some of the standard charges against the battered Germans,
but the title itself is worth its weight in gold: "The State of
Israel was founded on the Holocaust myth". (Pravda on-line issue,
April 12)
Here's Dr. Faurisson in his note to the Zundelsite:
"Portuguese revisionist A.S. Marques sent us the following comment :
"Clearcut no holds-barred exposition of the 'Holocaust' in Pravda.
This, I believe, is the first time in a large paper, since
Faurisson's old interview to Le Monde [December 29, 1978, and
January, 16, 1979]".
"It is worth going to the site itself and consulting the total of :

Russian original text may be consulted and translation in English
could be checked.
Talk about "History's irony" !
Best wishes. RF

THE STATE OF ISRAEL WAS FOUNDED ON THE HOLOCAUST MYTH
April 9 was a memorial day for the victims of the Holocaust.
"Holocaust" means "burnt-offering," as translated from the ancient
Greek language. The Nazis were trying to destroy Jews as a nation,
sending them to concentration camps, gas chambers, and performing
mass executions by shootings. Fascists reportedly killed about six
million Jews during the years of the World War II. Why does this
memorial day fall on April 9th? This was the day when prisoners
rebelled in the Warsaw ghetto, but the prisoners were not only Jews
by the way. Fifty-six thousand people were killed when the fascists
suppressed the rebellion.
Alla Gerber, the president of the Holocaust fund, remembers the
following: "I know that my grandmother from Kiev did not have enough
energy to get into the ghetto in the city of Odessa. She fell down
and was shot. I know that the family of my other grandmother from
Kiev was killed in Babiy Yar. I remember this, and I always will. I
will never be able to forget this, because I do not want this to
repeat again (Babiy Yar is a settlement on the outskirts of Kiev.)
Thirty-five thousand Jews were shot in that village in 1941, and some
200-thousand civilians and prisoners were killed there during
1941-1943).
The Russian Jewish Congress distributed a statement today, in which
the following was said: "Paying tribute to the six million Jews who
were killed in the fire of the World War II, we cannot separate the
tragic events of sixty years ago from what is going on with Jews and
the Jewish state. The Nazi genocide, from which many Jews suffered in
the twentieth century, is not comparable with the current events in
the Middle East. When anti-Semites raise their heads in "the tolerant
Europe," when skinheads are active in Russia, and when blood is being
shed in the Middle East, we remember and mourn the millions of people
who were killed just because for being different from their
murderers."
What can be noticed about the Jews of the whole world is their unity
and solidarity, which they have exercised throughout history. It
seems that any unbiased observer can see the aggressiveness of the
current Tel Aviv policy (of the policy since 1967, to be more
precise) against the Palestinian autonomy and other countries of the
Arab world. However, this is not the way that the Jews think.
Moreover, the congress draws a parallel between the elimination of
Jews of the past and their "genocide" today, allegedly, with the
consent of the international community.
This is an overwhelming feeling of offence for the whole world. The
feeling that "everybody owes something to me," is a peculiar feature
of the Jewish national character. This feature dictates a certain
stereotype of behavior: each Jew enjoys the full rights of being a
citizen of Israel, even if this Jew lives in Zimbabwe or East Timor.
Speaking about the Holocaust of the World War II, the latest research
that has been conducted by scientists of different countries
regarding the mass genocide against Jews and the real number of
victims, testifies to multiple and unjustified exaggerations and
distortions of the real events.
There was a conference in Moscow devoted to the global problems of
world history. One of the reporters said at the conference that,
after performing a special electromagnetic examination of the "mass
burial" in two camps (Treblinka and Belsits), it became known that
the "official version" of the burial could not withstand any
criticism: the soil could not be influenced with any external effect,
ect.
It should also be mentioned here that the adversaries of the
Holocaust (or revisionists, as they are often called), do not try to
prove it to the world that Jews were not persecuted in
National-Socialist Germany, or that there were no losses among the
Jewish nation during the war. It goes about the fact that Nazis were
eliminating not only Jews. They were running the genocide policy
against Gypsies, the Slavs, and other representatives of lower races.
There is no other nation in the world that has suffered so much
during the war, as the people of Belarus did. But everyone is silent
about it.
Valery Lebedev, who read The Myth of the Holocaust, said: "When I
found out that the furnaces in the crematoriums of the fascist camps
were muffle, and the Zyclone-B gas was insecticide (insect poison),
that was enough for me. Those readers who do not know much of
chemistry, may not understand anything here, but I know what muffle
is, since I have worked in the gas industry. I even feel shame for
myself. Why didn't I pay attention to that stupid Zyclone-B gas that
was evolving from granules within two hours? There was no killing of
Jews in gas chambers of the Nazi camps, since there were no chambers
there. The bombing of Germany and the evacuation of the camps blocked
German supplies; the people there were starving, but the main thing
is that there was the outburst of typhus epidemics in the camps. Lice
spread this illness, and the Germans were disinsecting their clothes
with Zyclone-B insecticide. Cans were found in Auschwitz, and they
passed them off as the weapon that killed the Jews."
Revisionists calculate that there were some 150-thousand Jews who
died in Auschwitz, and no one was killed with gas there. The major
reason of such a huge death rate was typhus epidemics.
Of course, it is impossible to cover the whole issue in a newspaper
article. However, the fact that discussing different versions of the
Holocaust is illegal in many European countries speaks to the
relevance of this issue. First, the state of Israel appeared on the
basis of the Holocaust myth. The world would never have allowed
Israel to exist without this myth, since it appeared during the times
of global decolonization. Britain made up with the independence of
India, and dozens of territories were doing their best to cast off
the yoke of the White man. The colonial intrigue of the Jews in the
Middle East was carried out in a very brutal way: the massacres, the
destruction of numerous Arab villages, and expelling a large part of
the Palestinian population from the lands of their ancestors. The
international community is coming to grips with all of this. At the
end of the day, the Jewish nation that suffered so much from the
Holocaust was in need of its own fatherland that could protect it
from genocide. Can the struggle of the Palestinians be compared with
what Jews had to go through under Hitler?
