World War II

Where and what were the "gates of Auschwitz?"

Published by carolyn on Fri, 2015-01-23 11:33

Is this one of the Gates of Auschwitz that had to be opened by the Red Army? Or is it the one below? Where did they enter? No one can say.

In a radio interview on Wednesday, Jan. 21, Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna gave an interview on the national broadcaster, Polskie Radio, in which he was asked :

Was Poland being petty in not inviting Mr. Putin [to the Jan. 27th ceremony at Auschwitz-Birkenau], considering that Russia was the successor of the Soviet Union and that it was the Red Army that opened the gates of Auschwitz.

Mr. Schetyna, who has a master's degree in history, interjected:

[The camp] was liberated by the First Ukrainian Front and Ukrainians. Ukrainian soldiers ... opened the gates of the camp.

Can anyone show me a photograph of “the gates of Auschwitz” that were “opened” by the Soviet Red Army or the Ukrainian Front?

Following Monday night's Heretics' Hour program on the Dreyfus Affair, I am featuring this article from 2012 for awhile because it was discussed during the program.

This article is based on the notes for my radio program of March 19, 2012, and expanded to include further research and also clarification of a few details. I hope readers will continue to spread this article far and wide. It should really be on my "Most Popular Articles" list but it doesn't have enough reads.

Hundreds attend memorial mass for WWII Croatian leader in Zagreb

Published by carolyn on Tue, 2014-12-30 13:15

Hundreds of Croatians attended a memorial mass in the Basilica of the Heart of Christ in Zagreb on Sunday, Dec. 28, for World War II-era leader Ante Pavelić [shown at right] on the 49th anniversary of his death, it was reported by local media.

Pavelić was the founder of the nationalist Ustaše movement which advocated for an independent Croatia and called for armed rebellion against the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Croatia was put into this brand new “state” of Yugoslavia when it was created at the Paris Peace Talks after the First World War.

Yugoslavia's capital Belgrade allied the state with Stalin and the Bolshevist Soviet Union. After the Germans conquered Yugoslavia in 1941, Pavelić became the new head of state of Croatia and allied his regime with National Socialist Germany and Facist Italy.

Video maker Eric Hunt discusses his latest film creation, "The Majdanek Gas Chamber Myth" with Carolyn. It has been made available for viewing - for free! - at his website Holocaust Hoax Museum beginning right after the end of this program. Included in the many topics he covers:

  • This is his fourth major video since his first one "Last Days of the Big Lie";
  • The importance of reaching the youth and 20-somethings who are mercilessly targeted by the billion-dollar Holocaust Industry;
  • The embarrassing (for them) back-tracking that the Majdanek Museum has been forced to do, particularly as to numbers "killed", because of revisionist findings;
  • Eric's discovery of the real path of the arrivals at Majdanek from undressing to showers to out into the camp (scroll down) - and how he clearly depicts it in his video;
  • The openness and visibility of the Majdanek camp to Lublin and other settled areas and roads meant "no hiding anything";
  • Some discussion of poor hygiene conditions in the camp as the reason for a higher than usual number of actual deaths: officially 78,000 in 3.5 years;
  • Eric's operation requires more funding - there is an immediate need for $10,000 to assure ongoing products and product improvement. Chip in! And circulate the film. [1hr56min]

Seventy-five years ago, on Nov. 30, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland, thinking it could overwhelm a much smaller country by its size. But the Soviets were in for a surprise. What lessons does this short but brutal war have for us today? Included are:

  • Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and secret protocol;
  • How intelligence and motivation aided the Finns;
  • Losses -26,000 Finnish dead or missing vs 127,000 Soviet Russian dead or missing;
  • Can the Ukrainians hold off the Russians as well as the Finns did?

Plus, a closer look at Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera and his arrest and incarceration at Sachsenhausen near Berlin. Included :

  • Bandera's fanatical movement veered away from sharing the same objectives as N-S Germany;
  • Bandera's death in 1959 ordered by the KGB head Alexander Shelepin and Nikita Khrushchev;
  • Ukrainian nationalists have been the most persevering of all, and most hated by the Russians. [1hr51min]
