Auschwitz: The Underground Guided Tour

It was a mistake or a misunderstanding. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Scrapbookpages Blog owner has now added another complaint: that "some of the captions that she put on the photos were wrong."

I would suggest that if he expects to have any credibility he needs to point out which captions to which photos he's speaking about, and give the correct information as he sees it. Otherwise ...

Another item: I actually found all or most of the emails we exchanged back then in a folder marked "Auschwitz book - TBR" in an email account I still use. I haven't read everything, or found the permission, but I think this shows that he knew I was using his photos and was okay with it.

As I vaguely recall, my finished draft was already in the hands of the  production manager and he wanted another picture (or two?) to make the layout and pages work out. The top photo on the SBP.com page was cropped and used on my page 37, with a photo credit. “Webmaster” knew this was for my book, which we had been discussing for some time already.

So what, Fiona?

Wake up, lady. If all that I wrote in this book is true, there was/is no Holocaust! That's what.

There is no 6 million dead. (Where are the bodies?) There were no homicidal gas chambers, and no plan to murder all the Jews. That's a big so what.

Because Jews felt humiliated doesn't make for a Holocaust.

They did not work as "slaves," that's the media hype. They were not "worked to death," that's the media lingo. They were not "exposed to typhus," they brought it with them and infected others, even the SS guards. That's what all the Zyklon B was for.

If forcing your enemies into concentration camps, with all their inherent dangers and negatives, is equal to a Holocaust and Genocide, then the British were genociders first of the White Rhodesians; the Black Africans are genociders as well as the Russians, Israelis, Chinese, Japanese and Southeast Asians in general ... plus many other civilizations throughout human history. Why pick specifically on the Germans? Is it because you are a Jew and it was the Jews this time?

Can you stop all injustice everywhere it occurs? Are you protesting against Israel for their brutal treatment of the "helpless, innocent" Palestinians who had committed no crime, but had only been living peacefully where their ancestors had lived for hundreds of years? No? But your case is even weaker than that. The Jews came into the German lands where a 1000 year old advanced civilization and culture  already existed. They came for profit and personal advantage. They worked as an alien fifth column to take over large areas of government and professional life. In WWI they helped Germany's enemies and stirred up the labor unions to strike at war munitions factories and demand an end to the war. This caused, directly and indirectly, the death of millions of Germans -- brave troops and civilians and babies alike.

In like manner, the Jews invaded the Palestinians' homeland just because they wanted it for themselves. They invented a narrative about a "land without people and a people without land", just as they invented the Holocaust narrative. The H narrative is far more elaborate than what you're acknowledging here.

Here you're saying that if the National Socialists had just left the Jews alone, all would have been well. That's just not true. Your tactic of picking out single individuals who got hurt unecessarily, or even who just got their feelings hurt!! -- ignores the big picture of Jewish Banking/Money Global Control/Corruption and how it destroys whole nations. Like a giant mafia. Individual Jews need to stop serving this beast. Until they do they will suffer what it suffers just as they benefit from its dominance.

Hi 'new at this',

Go to this page at the Barnes Review https://barnesreview.org/product/auschwitz-the-underground-guided-tour/ and you can buy it direct from there using a credit/debit card. I think the phone number works only during certain hours of the day.

Good luck.

I have not seen the documentary you mention (though I think I will watch it now on your recommendation), nor have I read Diane West's book, though I concur in her overall thesis. Neither Edith Stein or Maximillian Kolbe were tortured; I am familiar with the stories of both. The SS were not in the business of torture and, as you noted, there were strict rules against and penalties for abusing prisoners in any way. All the horror stories are lies, and there should be no surprise in that. We are encouraged by all media to assume the worst about Germans/SS and assume the best about the Jews/Allies.

Yes, the Butcher of Lyon is bullshit, and I think you already know that. Bullshit abounds.

Page 5 - Auschwitz Library -- Do you doubt there was a library at Auschwitz, but not that there was a brothel upstairs or orchestra equipment in the basement? There are no links for those either. There was/is a photograph of library-like tables & bookshelves said to be Auschwitz (and probably is) floating around the Internet, but since nothing identifies it as Auschwitz, I didn't use it.

It is written in a number of guide-type books that all camps of size had libraries; it's never been controversial. My text says, "...according to former inmates." This is true, but I didn't hunt them down.

Here, you must understand that this booklet was never intended as a comprehensive study of Auschwitz, but as a bonus "giveaway" for The Barnes Review subscribers & book purchasers. After my Europe trip in 2009, I intended to write an essay about my experience taking the tour at Auschwitz-Birkenau (I had written down some notes for myself on the bus back to Crakow). Paul Angel said I might want to take over this project from him, so I did. That's why I gave it the title it has. It just happened to become very popular and I believe it's still selling; it has the advantage of being small and lightweight; a well-organized quick read. It even got reviewed (panned, of course) by the ADL and the SPLC at the time! 

So I didn't want to get bogged down in footnotes for everything, but to keep the focus on the tour guide aspect. I did mention books, writings, written recollections, and photographic evidence to back up many of the statements when it was possible.

Page 7 - Kitchen -- I found various sources of information all around the Internet about the kitchen. I don't know how much is still available now, even if I did have a url from that time. But you can see 11 of the 12 chimneys in the photograph. And since the large building has a back section, two sides joining a front sections w/ an opening in the center, forming a courtyard, like a big rectangle, it offered a lot of space for activity.

To conclude (for now?), you ask these questions at the end:

could the inmates swim [in the pool]? If so, how do we know? 

Furthermore, how do we know about the other sports being practised by inmates?

We know because they said so. See pages 29-31, re Ditlieb Felderer and Marc Klein. And page 37, re guard Urbaniek, prisoners Tadeusz Borowski, William Schick, and Szlamo Arouch.

I think your treatise is an accurate and thorough overview of the "Revisionist" argument and findings. I have no quibble with it and congratulate you on your accomplishment. Your conclusion seems to miss that "Revisionism" came first and "Denial" was introduced by Jews much later. Calling it revisionism became a problem for the Jewish Holocaust Industry because 'historical revisionism' was a recognized practice in academic circles. They (Jews) decided to change to "Denial" and they did! It shows the power of their influence that no matter how much we may try to resist changes to our language, we end up going along with it. THAT is what I want to write about: How the overwhelming use of "Denial/Denier" has replaced "Revisionism," even by Revisionists.

Another aspect is that Revisionism is perceived (by me, for sure) as not a strong enough word when the full hoax-nature of the narrative is realized. So we need something stronger, a word that expresses the full intention-to-deceive that we discover when we learn the HISTORY of how the whole story started and how it built up over time. This is more like the angle that I am coming from, dealing with the power of language.

Thanks very much for your input on this subject.
