David Irving on the Search for Truth in History – 1993
Winston Churchill and his Secret Communications with Roosevelt
Les 4 points que David Irving se dit prêt à défendre devant un tribunal:
1- La juiverie a payé Churchill
2- La juiverie a poussé la Grande-Bretagne à déclarer la guerre à l’Allemagne nazie
3- La juiverie a dominé les grands régimes communistes
4- La juiverie exerce un contrôle immense sur le monde entier

The Focus was financed by a slush fund set up by some of London’s wealthiest businessmen — principally, businessmen organized by the Board of Jewish Deputies in England, whose chairman was a man called Sir Bernard Waley Cohen. Sir Bernard Waley Cohen held a private dinner party at his apartment on July 29, 1936. This is in Waley Cohen’s memoirs … The 29th of July, 1936, Waley Cohen set up a slush fund of 50,000 pounds for The Focus, the Churchill pressure group. Now, 50,000 pounds in 1936, multiply that by ten, at least, to get today’s figures. By another three or four to multiply that into Canadian dollars. So, 40 times 50,000 pounds — about $2 million in Canadian terms — was given by Bernard Waley Cohen to this secret pressure group of Churchill in July 1936. The purpose was — the tune that Churchill had to play was — fight Germany. Start warning the world about Germany, about Nazi Germany. Churchill, of course, one of our most brilliant orators, a magnificent writer, did precisely that.
For two years, The Focus continued to militate, in fact, right through until 1939. And I managed to find the secret files of The Focus, I know the names of all the members. I know all their secrets. I know how much money they were getting, not just from The Focus, but from other governments. I use the word « other governments » advisedly because one of my sources of information for my Churchill biography is, in fact, the Chaim Weizmann Papers in the State of Israel. Israel has made available to me all Churchill’s secret correspondence with Chain Weizmann, all his secret conferences. It is an astonishing thing, but I, despite my reputation, in a kind of negative sense with these people, am given access to files like that, just the same as the Russian Government has given me complete access to all of the Soviet records of Churchill’s dealings with Ivan Maisky, Joseph Stalin, Molotov and the rest of them. I am the only historian who has been given access to these Russian records. It is a kind of horse trading method that I use when I want access to these files, because it is in these foreign archives we find the truth about Winston Churchill.
When you want the evidence about his tax dodging in 1949 and thereabouts, you are not going to look in his own tax files, you’re going to look in the files of those who employed him, like the Time/Life Corporation of America. That’s where you look. And when you’re looking for evidence about who was putting money up for Churchill when he was in the wilderness and who was funding this secret group of his, The Focus, you’re not going to look in his files. Again, you’re going to look in the secret files, for example, of the Czech government in Prague, because that is where much of the money was coming from.

Traitement des prisonniers dans les camps: Yankees vs Nat.-Socialiste
Rapport en trois volumes du Comité International de la Croix Rouge sur ses activités pendant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, Genève, 1948. Ce compte rendu complet provenant d’une source entièrement neutre comprend et étend les constatations de deux ouvrages précédents: Documents sur l’activité du CICR en faveur des civils détenus dans les camps de concentration en Allemagne 1939-1945 (Genève, 1946) et Inter Arma Caritas: the Work of the CICR during the Second World War (Genève, 1947). Le groupe d’auteurs, dirigé par Frédéric Siordet, explique au début du Rapport qu’il s’est inspiré d’une stricte neutralité politique, dans la tradition de la Croix Rouge, et c’est en cela que réside sa grande valeur.
Le CICR réussit à faire appliquer la convention militaire de Genève de 1929 pour pouvoir visiter les détenus civils des camps allemands d’Europe Centrale et d’Europe Occidentale. Par contre, il lui fut impossible d’aller faire une enquête en Union Soviétique puisque ce pays n’avait pas ratifié la Convention. Les millions de prisonniers civils et militaires de l’Union Soviétique dont les conditions de vie étaient, comme chacun sait, de loin les plus pénibles de toutes, étaient complètement coupés de tout contact ou contrôle international.
Le Rapport de la Croix Rouge est précieux parce qu’il fait d’abord la lumière sur les circonstances légitimes de la détention des Juifs dans des camps de concentration, c’est-à-dire comme citoyens d’un pays ennemi. En décrivant les deux catégories de civils internés, le Rapport qualifie le deuxième type de « civils déportés pour des raisons administratives (en allemand: Schutzhäftlinge = en détention préventive) qui avaient été arrêtés pour des motifs politiques ou raciaux parce que leur présence était considérée comme un danger en puissance pour l’Etat ou pour les troupes d’occupation » (Vol.III, p.73). Le Rapport poursuit: « Ces personnes étaient assimilées aux personnes arrêtées ou emprisonnées en vertu du droit commun pour des raisons de sécurité » (p.74). Le Rapport reconnaît que les Allemands furent d’abord peu disposés à permettre à la Croix Rouge d’aller surveiller des personnes détenues pour la sécurité de l’Etat, mais qu’à partir du 2· semestre de 1942, le CICR obtint des concessions importantes de l’Allemagne. On l’autorisa à distribuer des colis de vivres dans les grands camps de concentration à partir du mois d’août 1942, et à partir de février 1943, cette concession fut étendue à tous les autres camps et à toutes les autres prisons » (Vol.III, p.78). Le CICR établit bientôt le contact avec les commandants des camps et entama un programme d’envoi de vivres qui fonctionna jusqu’aux derniers mois de la guerre en 1945 ainsi qu’en témoignent des lettres de remerciement envoyées par milliers par des Juifs détenus dans les camps.
Le Rapport signale que « 9.000 colis étaient emballés chaque jour. A partir de l’automne de 1943 jusqu’à mai 1945, 1.112.000 colis environ, représentant un poids total de 4.500 tonnes, furent envoyés aux camps de concentration » (Vol.III, p.80). En plus des colis de vivres, on expédia des colis de vêtements et de produits pharmaceutiques. « Des colis furent envoyés à Dachau, Buchenwald, Sangerhausen, Sachsenhausen, Oranienburg, Flossenburg, Labdsberg-am-Lech, Floha, Ravensbrück, Hamburg-Neuengamme, Mauthausen, Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, à des camps situes près de Vienne et dans le centre et le sud de l’Allemagne. Ils furent destinés surtout à des Juifs belges, hollandais, français. grecs, italiens, norvégiens, polonais et apatrides » (Vol.III, p.83). Au cours des années de guerre, « le Comité put faire transporter et distribuer des marchandises valant plus de 20 millions de francs suisses collectés par des organisations juives de bienfaisance dans le monde entier, spécialement par le comité de New York American Joint Distribution Committee » (Vol. I, p.644). Jusqu’à l’entrée en guerre des Etats-Unis, ce comité de New York fut autorisé par les Allemands à avoir ses bureaux à Berlin. Le CICR se plaint de ce que son action de grande envergure d’aide aux détenus juifs fut entravée non pas par les Allemands, mais par le blocus étroit de l’Europe par les Alliés. La Croix Rouge acheta la majeure partie des vivres en Roumanie, en Hongrie et en Slovaquie. Le CICR a des éloges particuliers pour les conditions de vie libérales qui régnaient à Theresienstadt jusqu’aux dernières visites des délégués du Comité en avril 1945. Ce camp, « où vivaient environ 40.000 Juifs déportés de divers pays, était un ghetto relativement privilégié » (Vol.III, p.75). Suivant le Rapport, « les délégués purent visiter le camp de Theresienstadt (Terezin) ou vivaient exclusivement des Juifs et ou régnaient des conditions spéciales. D’après les renseignements recueillis par le Comité, ce camp avait été créé à titre expérimental par certains dirigeants du Reich qui voulaient donner aux Juifs la possibilité de vivre en commun dans une ville administrée par eux-mêmes et possédant une autonomie presque complète… deux délégués purent visiter le camp le 6 avril 1945. Ils confirmèrent l’impression favorable de leur première visite » (Vol.I, p.642).
Le CICR loue aussi le régime d’Ion Antonescu de la Roumanie fasciste où le Comité put apporter une aide spéciale à 183.000 Juifs roumaine jusqu’à l’occupation du pays par les troupes soviétiques… qui signifia la fin de cette action humanitaire, et le CICR se plaint amèrement de n’avoir jamais réussi à envoyer quoi que ce soit en Union Soviétique » (Vol.I, p.62). Ce fut le cas aussi pour plusieurs camps de concentration allemands après leur « libération » par l’Armée Rouge. Le CICR reçut une correspondance volumineuse d’Auschwitz, jusqu’au moment de l’occupation soviétique. Une partie des détenus fut évacuée vers l’Ouest, mais les efforts de la Croix Rouge pour envoyer des colis aux détenus restés à Auschwitz occupé par l’Armée Rouge furent vains. Cependant, des colis de vivres furent encore envoyés à des anciens détenus d’Auschwitz transférés à l’Ouest dans des camps tels que Buchenwald et Oranienburg.
Un des aspects les plus importants du Rapport de la Croix Rouge est qu’il fait la lumière sur la véritable cause des nombreux décès dans les camps vers la fin de la guerre: « Dans les conditions chaotiques de l’Allemagne après l’invasion, pendant les derniers mois de la guerre, plus aucun ravitaillement n’arrivait dans les camps de concentration et il y eut de plus en plus de détenus qui moururent d’épuisement. Alarmé par cette situation, le gouvernement allemand lui-même en informa finalement le CICR le 1er février 1945. En mars 1945, des entretiens du Président du CICR avec Kaltenbrunner, général de la SS, eurent des résultats encore plus décisifs. Les colis de vivres purent désormais être distribués par le CICR et un délégué de la Croix Rouge fut autorisé à séjourner dans chaque camp… » (Vol.III, p.83). Il est donc évident que les autorités allemandes faisaient tout leur possible pour remédier à cette situation désastreuse. Le Croix Rouge précise que le ravitaillement des camps fut interrompu à cause des attaques de l’aviation alliée sur toutes les voies de communication, et dans l’intérêt des détenus juifs, la Croix Rouge protesta le 15 mars 1944 contre « la guerre aérienne barbare des Alliés » (Inter Arma Caritas, p.78). Le 2 octobre 1944, le CICR avertit le Foreign Office de l’effondrement imminent du système de transport allemand en déclarant qu’il entraînerait inévitablement la famine pour tous ceux qui se trouvaient en Allemagne à l’époque.
L’examen de ce volumineux Rapport en trois volumes nous montre — et il importe de le souligner — que les délégués de la Croix Rouge Internationale n’ont trouvé aucune preuve, dans les camps de concentration des pays européens occupés par l’Allemagne, d’une politique délibérée d’extermination des Juifs. Il n’est fait mention nulle part, dans les 1.600 pages du Rapport, d’une chose telle qu’une chambre à gaz. Le rapport reconnaît que les Juifs, comme beaucoup d’autres peuples pendant la guerre, ont subi les rigueurs de la vie dans les camps et ont souffert de privation, mais le silence complet du rapport sur une extermination voulue et planifiée réfute amplement la légende des Six Millions. Comme les délégués du Vatican avec qui elle a travaillé, la Croix Rouge Internationale estime qu’il lui était impossible d’adhérer à la campagne irresponsable menée partout à grand fracas pour accuser l’Allemagne nazie d’avoir appliqué une politique de génocide.
Quant au taux réel de la mortalité, le Rapport explique qu’on utilisa les services de la plupart des médecins juifs des camps pour lutter contre le typhus sur le front de l’Est, de sorte que ces médecins n’étaient pas dans les camps quand les épidémies de typhus s’y déclarèrent en 1945 (Vol. I, p.204 ff). On prétend souvent, par ailleurs, que des exécutions en masse eurent lieu dans des chambres à gaz habilement maquillées en salles de douches. Le Rapport réduit aussi à néant cette allégation.
« Les délégués visitèrent non seulement les lavabos, mais aussi les installations de bain, les douches et la blanchisserie. Ils durent intervenir souvent pour faire améliorer les appareils et pour les faire réparer ou agrandir » (Vol. III, p.594).
Le Volume III du Rapport de la Croix Rouge, chapitre 3 (I. Population civile juive) traite de « l’aide apportée aux Juifs de la population libre »; ce chapitre montre clairement que tous les Juifs d’Europe ne furent certainement pas internés mais restèrent parmi la population civile en étant soumis à certaines restrictions. Ceci contredit nettement le soi-disant « perfectionnisme » du prétendu « programme d’extermination », et ce qui est affirmé dans les faux mémoires de Hoess, à savoir qu’Eichmann était obsédé par l’idée d’arrêter « absolument tous les Juifs qu’il pourrait attraper. » En Slovaquie, par exemple, où l’adjoint d’Eichmann, Dieter Wisliceny, exerçait ses fonctions, le Rapport spécifie qu' »une grande partie de la minorité juive fut autorisée à rester dans le pays, et à certaines périodes, la Slovaquie fut considérée comme un hâvre relatif pour les Juifs, spécialement pour ceux qui venaient de Pologne. Les Juifs qui restèrent en Slovaquie semblent avoir été relativement en sûreté jusqu’à la fin du mois d’août 1944, quand il se produisit un soulèvement contre les troupes allemandes. Il est vrai que la loi du 15 mai 1942 avait entraîné l’internement de plusieurs milliers de Juifs, mais on les mit dans des camps où les conditions de nourriture et de logement étaient tolérables et où les détenus pouvaient travailler en étant payés dans des conditions presque égales à celles de l’extérieur » (Vol.I, p.646).
Parmi les 3 millions de Juifs à peu près qui se trouvaient en Europe pendant la guerre (comment en exterminer 6 dans ce cas?), il y en eut non seulement pas mal qui ne furent pas détenus, mais une partie d’entre eux put continuer à émigrer pendant toute la guerre, généralement via la Hongrie, la Roumanie et la Turquie. Ironie du sort, cette émigration, à partir des territoires occupés par les Allemands, fut facilitée aussi par le Reich, comme dans le cas des Juifs polonais arrivés en France avant l’occupation de ce pays. « Les Juifs de Pologne qui avaient obtenu, quand ils étaient en France, des permis d’entrée aux Etats-Unis, furent considérés comme des citoyens américains par les autorités allemandes d’occupation qui acceptèrent ultérieurement de reconnaître la validité d’environ trois mille passeports remis à des Juifs par des consulats de pays d’Amérique Latine » (Vol.I, p.645). Comme futurs citoyens américains, ces Juifs furent rassemblés au camp de Vittel réservé aux citoyens américains. L’émigration de Juifs européens à partir de la Hongrie, en particulier, se poursuivit pendant la guerre, sans entraves des autorités allemandes. « Jusqu’au mois de mars 1944″, dit le Rapport de la Croix Rouge, (des Juifs qui avaient le privilège de posséder des visas pour la Palestine furent autorisés à quitter la Hongrie » (Vol.I, p.648). Même après le remplacement du gouvernement Horthy en 1944 (il voulait conclure un armistice séparé avec l’Union Soviétique) par un gouvernement qui dépendait davantage de l’autorité allemande, l’émigration de Juifs continua. Le Comité obtint les promesses de la Grande-Bretagne et des Etats-Unis « d’aider par tous les moyens l’émigration des Juifs à partir de la Hongrie », et le CICR reçut un message du gouvernement américain: « Le gouvernement des Etats-Unis répète de façon précise qu’il fera le nécessaire pour prendre soin de tous les Juifs qui sont autorisés à partir dans les circonstances actuelles » (Vol.I, p.649).
Les sources ne sont pas très loquaces sur ce personnage qui ne manque pourtant pas d’intérêt et dont les hauts faits mériteraient de passer à la postérité au moins autant que ceux du Dr Mengele. Difficile déjà de trouver un portrait de lui. On sait qu’il est né en 1899 à Batoumi en Géorgie. Dans sa jeunesse, il s’affilie au Bund (l’Union – socialiste et antisioniste – des travailleurs juifs), mais devant les nuages qui s’amoncellent sur ce mouvement, qui sera finalement liquidé, il préfère rejoindre les bolcheviques. C’est plus sûr. Il devient médecin biochimiste.
Inversion accusatoire: Camions à gazage… bolchéviques!
Bernhard Schaub: La pensée rend libre
Samedi 9 janvier 2010
C’est la fierté de la science occidentale de ne connaître aucun tabou depuis la Renaissance et particulièrement depuis le Siècle des Lumières, et de retenir comme unique critère une objectivité absolue. La révision – donc l’examen, la vérification, la remise en question – est un principe scientifique fondamental. Tout le reste n’est que dogmatisme. La science ne peut accepter de préalables, ni religieux, ni politiques, ni de quelque autre nature sociétale. Dans le domaine des sciences naturelles, il n’existe pas de vérités chrétiennes ou non chrétiennes, morales ou non. Le scientifique a droit à l’erreur car nul ne détient la vérité absolue. La science a substitué à l’ère médiévale de la foi celle des découvertes.
« Si l’on pouvait démontrer que l’Holocauste est une imposture, c’est l’arme n°1 de l’arsenal israélien de propagande qui disparaîtrait.”
« Un pays n’est pas libre quand la liberté d’expression y est entravée par de sévères sanctions. Le grand Kant disait, à propos de la liberté d’expression, que l’on doit pouvoir parler de tout, que ce qu’on dit soit vrai ou faux. Quoi qu’il ait pu se passer à propos de l’Holocauste, je n’y étais pas. Mais si je n’en parle pas, c’est aussi parce que c’est interdit. On n’a pas le droit d’en débattre, même scientifiquement. La notion d’ ‘incitation à la haine’ l’interdit. Ce pays n’est pas libre.”

Chamberlain 1939 : « C’est l’Amérique et le monde israélite international qui nous ont précipités dans la guerre. » | ||
|
Francis Delaisi (Système économique allemand, organigramme p. 215)
Extraits de la revue flamande Periodiek Contact sous la signature de Frans de Hoon :
« Comme il n’est encore jamais arrivé qu’un vainqueur avoue publiquement sa culpabilité au déclenchement d’une guerre, nous devons bien consulter l’Histoire pour découvrir la cause réelle du conflit. Nous constatons d’abord que dans le « Daily Express » du 24 mars 1933 le Congrès juif mondial a déclaré la guerre économique à l’Allemagne. Ensuite le 7 août 1933 Samuel Untermayer, président de la « World Jewish Economic Federation » déclarait dans le « New-York Times »: « La guerre que nous avons décidé de mener contre l’Allemagne est pour nous une guerre sainte. »
« Par la suite les milieux financiers de Wall Street agissaient de telle sorte que le rapport entre le dollar et le Reichmark était dévalué de 57% au préjudice de cette dernière monnaie. Il devint désormais impossible à l’Allemagne d’acheter des matières premières, des denrées alimentaires et d’autres marchandises sur le marché international dominé par le dollar. Adolf Hitler réagit immédiatement et résolument : il détacha le Reichmark de l’étalon-or et introduisit la « Valeur-Travail ». Son principe partait de la constatation que ce n’était pas la valeur-or, ou une autre valeur, qui était déterminante pour la plus-value d’un produit, mais seulement et uniquement le travail qui avait été presté pour le fournir. Par les conséquences du Diktat de Versailles l’Allemagne était tombée dans la misère et ne disposait plus de devises, ce qui était aussi le cas de nombreux pays pauvres, par exemple en Europe Orientale et en Amérique du Sud.
« Hitler remplaça le commerce extérieur basé sur la monnaie par un commerce de troc : marchandises contre marchandises, de sorte que les devises tombaient en désuétude. Associées aux nécessaires investissements publics ces mesures eurent pour conséquences une fulgurante diminution du chômage et une forte augmentation du commerce avec les pays concernés.
Cela amena plus de stabilité et d’aisance dans le Reich, ce qui fut très désagréablement ressenti par les puissances de l’Ouest, d’autant plus qu’elles redoutaient que le nouveau système économique allemand basé sur la « Valeur-Travail » puisse un jour avoir un très grand succès dans le monde et supplanter l’empire du dollar couplé à l’étalon-or. Les puissances de l’Ouest ne le voulaient à aucun prix et elles commencèrent à préparer la guerre contre l’Allemagne.
« En Amérique la campagne d’excitation contre l’Allemagne (dont la résurrection économique était attribuée au réarmement) se renforça, mais les USA eux-mêmes commençaient la construction d’une flotte aérienne de bombardement à grande distance : les « forteresses volantes » dont le programme prévu devait être réalisé pour… 1939. Le 4 mai 1935 le diplomate polonais, le comte Szembeck, informait Varsovie que la campagne excitant à la guerre contre l’Allemagne trouvait encore et toujours son point de départ dans les milieux financiers israélites et franc-maçons.
« Curieuse est la constatation que le général britannique Fuller exprime dans un livre paru en 1937 disant que : « Le système de financement régnant ne repose plus sur la capacité de production, et que l’argent en tant que moyen de nouvelle répartition est devenu une marchandise que l’on peut, comme toute autre marchandise, acheter et vendre. Ou, autrement dit : la maladie qui causera la ruine du monde s’appelle l’usure. La France et l’Angleterre sont alliées l’une à l’autre parce que toutes les deux sont construites sur la puissance de l’argent et se trouvent sous la domination du système banquaire international. L’Allemagne s’est libérée de cette puissance internationale et devient ainsi l’objet de suspicion. Elle opère déjà avec le concept « valeur-travail » et c’est ce que l’on voudra éviter à tout prix. Déjà l’on s’active fébrilement à l’anéantissement de ce pays. Les financiers n’ont rien à y perdre, mais tout à y gagner ». Et le gouverneur de la banque d’Angleterre déclara lui-même en 1939, un peu avant sa mort : « Notre société, telle qu’elle existe maintenant, repose sur la base d’une ploutocratie décadente. La confiance en elle diminue de plus en plus. Comment pouvons-nous, face à l’Allemagne, parler d’une société meilleure avec plus de justice aussi longtemps que nous souffrons nous-mêmes de ce mal de l’argent ? Le système monétaire est fatal à l’état : il crée la pauvreté et il apparaîtra être la cause principale de la guerre. »
« Kristjan Rakowski, qui avait été ambassadeur de l’URSS à Londres et à Paris, fut impliqué en 1938 dans les procès staliniens d’épuration. A cette occasion il déclara, entre autres : « Une des raisons pour laquelle Hitler doit être anéanti est que, intuitivement et en dépit de l’opposition technique de Hjalmar Schacht, il a mis au point un système social dangereux. Obéissant uniquement à une nécessité il a écarté le système international aussi bien que le système privé des capitaux. En effet il ne possédait pas d’or et ne pouvait donc pas prendre pour base le système reposant sur le dollar dans son plan économique de gouvernement. Les seuls atouts qu’il possédait étaient la compétence technique et la capacité de travail de sa Nation. De la technique et du travail il a fait son capital et il y avait dans ce principe quelque chose de si formidablement contre-révolutionnaire qu’il parvint, comme par magie, à surmonter dans les plus brefs délais le chômage de sept millions de techniciens et d’ouvriers. » Rakowski releva aussi que le système hitlerien de la Valeur-Travail ne possédait pas la base d’une théorie scientifique, mais reposait uniquement sur la pratique. Si d’autres nations devaient adopter ce système, il ne faudrait pas longtemps avant que des scientifiques ne trouvent à l’étayer par la théorie. Dans ce cas plus rien n’arrêterait ce système. Pour prévenir ce danger il n’y avait qu’une solution : faire la guerre.
« Sébastien Affner, un Allemand émigré en Angleterre a admis après la guerre dans son livre intitulé : « Anmerkungen zu Hitler », que le miracle économique de 1933 avait été bien plus considérable que celui de 1948. Il dit aussi qu’il n’avait aucun rapport avec le réarmement et que la majorité du peuple allemand, aux référendums, soutenait fermement Hitler. Qu’en était-il d’ailleurs de ce réarmement si abondamment cité ? Il ressort de recherches faites après la guerre à l’université de Harvard et au Pentagone que jusqu’au début de septembre 1939 pas une seule nouvelle fabrique d’armement n’avait été construite. L’Allemagne était alors tout au plus en état de soutenir une guerre que durant deux mois. A la lumière de ces constatations nous devons admettre qu’il n’existait aucun plan du côté allemand pour conduire une guerre d’agression ou de conquête de longue durée. Pourquoi une guerre d’ailleurs ? Pourquoi la nouvelle Allemagne aurait-elle voulu anéantir ses réalisations économiques, politiques et sociales par une guerre ?
« (…) D’un discours prononcé en 1947 par le capitaine J. Creagh-Scott nous apprenons ce qui suit : « Lors des échanges de télégrammes de la période 39-40 les Britanniques se déclarèrent prêts à négocier la paix si l’Allemagne revenait à l’étalon-or.« . Churchill aussi déclara pendant les pourparlers relatifs à la Charte de l’Atlantique, qu’il réintroduirait l’étalon-or dès qu’Hitler aurait été vaincu.
Ceci et rien d’autre que l’abandon de l’étalon-or par l’Allemagne a été la réelle raison de la guerre. Le sort des petits pays comme la Pologne n’a joué aucun rôle. Chamberlain, à cette époque encore premier ministre, écrivit le 10 septembre 1939 à sa soeur : « …C’est l’Amérique et le monde israélite international qui nous ont précipités dans la guerre. »
1939
« Germany must be handed over to Jewry and the Germans shall be scattered amongst the peoples of the world. »
« He [the Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain] is being hampered by incessant intrigues. Mr. Eden is now allied to the Fabian-Zionist faction headed, by Mr. Israel Moses Sieff with its policy of parlour Bolshevism. »
« Only when the Jewish influence that splits the Nations apart has been eliminated will it be possible to bring about international co-operation based on a lasting understanding. »
1940
« We Germans, don’t like this war. We think it needless and silly. »
« In the first public declaration on the Jewish question since the outbreak of the war, Arthur Greenwood, member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet, assured the Jews of the United States that when victory was achieved an effort would be made to found a new world order based on the ideals of ‘justice and peace.' »

« The fight against Germany has been carried out for months by every Jewish conference, trade organisation, by every Jew in the world …. we shall let loose a spiritual and a material war of the whole world against Germany. »
« The World Jewish Congress has been at war with Germany for seven years. »
« This war is our business. »
« The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it, but the Administration seems to have ‘the bit in its teeth’ and hell-bent on its way to war. Most of the Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control a huge part of our press and radio and most of our motion pictures the international financial interests, and many others »
« Jewish brothers of the whole world: Let the holy flame of vengeance burn more and more brightly in your hearts with every hour! Be ready to act at any minute! You must do everything in your power to destroy the economic resources of the fascists, no matter in what part of the world you live. Go among the most vital sections of the death-bringing industries of the Hitlerian hangmen and cripple them with every means at your disposal. Boycott their products everywhere! Struggle together with the noble, self-sacrificing partisans! Develop everywhere a fully effective propaganda for solidarity with, and an active support for the Soviet Union. Mankind wants to be freed of the brown plague. Do your duty in this holy war. »
1942
« There would never be peace in Europe until the problem of the Jewish People in Europe was solved. And the world ought to know that. »
« We have been at war with him [Hitler] from the first day that he gained power. »
« The Second World War is being fought for the defense of the fundamentals of Judaism. »
« Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles tonight called for the early creation of an international organization of anti-Axis nations to control the world during the period between the armistice at the end of the present war [World War II] and the setting up of a new world order on a permanent basis. »
« The statement went on to say that the spiritual teachings of religion must become the foundation for the new world order and that national sovereignty must be subordinate to the higher moral law of God. »
« We are not denying and we are not afraid to confess, this war is our war and that it is waged for the liberation of Jewry … stronger than all fronts together is our front, that of Jewry. We are not only giving this war our financial support on which the entire war production is based. We are not only providing our full propaganda power which is the moral energy that keeps this war going. The guarantee of victory is predominantly based on weakening the enemy forces, on destroying them within their own country, within the resistance. And we are the Trojan horse in the enemy’s fortress. Thousands of Jews living in Europe constitute the principal factor in the destruction of our enemy. There, our front is a fact and the most valuable aid for victory. »
Chaim Weizmann, arch-Zionist Intriguer, President of the World Jewish Congress (1942)
1943
« The Yishuv [the Zionist colonies in Palestine] was at war with Hitler long before Great Britain and America. »
Moishe Shertok, speaking at the British Zionist Conference in Jan. 1943 quoted in the Jewish Chronicle, 22 Jan. (1943)

According to The Daily Express of London of March 24, 1933, the Jews had already launched their boycott against Germany and her elected government.
Few people know the facts about the singular event that helped spark what ultimately became known as World War II – the international Jewish declaration of war on Germany shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power and well before any official German government sanctions or reprisals against Jews were carried out. The March 24, 1933 issue of The Daily Express of London (shown above) described how Jewish leaders, in combination with powerful international Jewish financial interests, had launched a boycott of Germany for the express purpose of crippling her already precarious economy in the hope of bringing down the new Hitler regime. It was only then that Germany struck back in response. Thus, if truth be told, it was the worldwide Jewish leadership – not the Third Reich – that effectively fired the first shot in the Second World War. Prominent New York attorney Samuel Untermyer (above right) was one of the leading agitators in the war against Germany, describing the Jewish campaign as nothing less than a « holy war. »
Long before the Hitler government began restricting the rights of the German Jews, the leaders of the worldwide Jewish community formally declared war on the « New Germany » at a time when the U.S. government and even the Jewish leaders in Germany were urging caution in dealing with the new Hitler regime.
The whole of Israel throughout the world is uniting to declare an economic and financial war on Germany. The appearance of the Swastika as the symbol of the new Germany has revived the old war symbol of Judas to new life. Fourteen million Jews scattered over the entire world are tight to each other as if one man, in order to declare war against the German persecutors of their fellow believers.
The Jewish wholesaler will quit his house, the banker his stock exchange, the merchant his business, and the beggar his humble hut, in order to join the holy war against Hitler’s people.
The war against Germany will be waged by all Jewish communities, conferences, congresses… by every individual Jew. Thereby the war against Germany will ideologically enliven and promote our interests, which require that Germany be wholly destroyed.
The danger for us Jews lies in the whole German people, in Germany as a whole as well as individually. It must be rendered harmless for all time…. In this war we Jews have to participate, and this with all the strength and might we have at our disposal.
As concerns Jews, I can only say that their propagandists abroad are rendering their co-religionists in Germany no service by giving the German public, through their distorted and untruthful news about persecution and torture of Jews, the impression that they actually halt at nothing, not even at lies and calumny, to fight the present German government.
Whereas there was for a short time considerable physical mistreatment of Jews, this phase may be considered virtually terminated…. A stabilization appears to have been reached in the field of personal mistreatment…. I feel hopeful that the situation which has caused such widespread concern throughout this country will soon revert to normal.
This New York Daily News front page headline hailed the massive anti-German protest rally held in Madison Square Garden on March 27, 1933. Despite efforts by the German government to alleviate tensions and prevent the escalation of name-calling and threats by the international Jewish leadership, the rally was held as scheduled. Similar rallies and protest marches were also being held in other cities during the same time frame. The intensity of the Jewish campaign against Germany was such that the Hitler government vowed that if the campaign did not stop, there would be a one-day boycott in Germany of Jewish-owned stores. Despite this, the hate campaign continued, forcing Germany to take defensive measures that created a situation wherein the Jews of Germany became increasingly marginalized. The truth about the Jewish war on Germany has been suppressed by most histories of the period.
Now that the domestic enemies of the nation have been eliminated by the Volk itself, what we have long been waiting for will not come to pass.
The Communist and Marxist criminals and their Jewish-intellectual instigators, who, having made off with their capital stocks across the border in the nick of time, are now unfolding an unscrupulous, treasonous campaign of agitation against the German Volk as a whole from there….Lies and slander of positively hair-raising perversity are being launched about Germany. Horror stories of dismembered Jewish corpses, gouged out eyes and hacked off hands are circulating for the purpose of defaming the German Volk in the world for the second time, just as they had succeeded in doing once before in 1914.

« Germans! Defend yourselves!
Don’t shop at Jewish stores! »

…Germany [has] been converted from a nation of culture into a veritable hell of cruel and savage beasts.
We owe it not only to our persecuted brethren but to the entire world to now strike in self-defense a blow that will free humanity from a repetition of this incredible outrage….
Now or never must all the nations of the earth make common cause against the… slaughter, starvation and annihilation… fiendish torture, cruelty and persecution that are being inflicted day by day upon these men, women and children….
When the tale is told… the world will confront a picture so fearful in its barbarous cruelty that the hell of war and the alleged Belgian atrocities pale into insignificance as compared to this devilishly, deliberately, cold-bloodedly planned and already partially executed campaign for the extermination of a proud, gentle, loyal, law-abiding people…
The Jews are the aristocrats of the world. From time immemorial they have been persecuted and have seen their persecutors come and go. They alone have survived. And so will history repeat itself, but that furnishes no reason why we should permit this reversion of a once great nation to the Dark Ages or fail to rescue these 600,000 human souls from the tortures of hell….
…What we are proposing and have already gone far toward doing, is to prosecute a purely defensive economic boycott that will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends.
…We propose to and are organizing world opinion to express itself in the only way Germany can be made to understand….
The Hitler regime originated and are fiendishly prosecuting their boycott to exterminate the Jews by placarding Jewish shops, warning Germans against dealing with them, by imprisoning Jewish shopkeepers and parading them through the streets by the hundreds under guard of Nazi troops for the sole crime of being Jews, by ejecting them from the learned professions in which many of them had attained eminence, by excluding their children from the schools, their men from the labor unions, closing against them every avenue of livelihood, locking them in vile concentration camps and starving and torturing them without cause and resorting to every other conceivable form of torture, inhuman beyond conception, until suicide has become their only means of escape, and all solely because they are or their remote ancestors were Jews, and all with the avowed object of exterminating them.
Why Germany Began Rounding Up Jews
and Deporting Them to the East
Why did the Germans begin rounding up the Jews and interning them in the concentration camps to begin with? Contrary to popular myth, the Jews remained « free » inside Germany – albeit subject to laws which did restrict certain of their privileges – prior to the outbreak of World War II.
Yet, the other little-known fact is thatjust before the war began, the leadership of the world Jewish community formally declared war on Germany – above and beyond the ongoing six-year-long economic boycott launched by the worldwide Jewish community when the Nazi Party came to power in 1933.
As a consequence of the formal declaration of war, the German authorities thus deemed Jews to be potential enemy agents.
Here’s the story behind the story: Chaim Weizmann (above), president of both the international « Jewish Agency » and of the World Zionist Organization (and later Israel’s first president), told British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in a letter published in The London Times on September 6, 1939 that:
I wish to confirm, in the most explicit manner, the declarations which I and my colleagues have made during the last month, and especially in the last week, that the Jews stand by Great Britain and will fight on the side of the democracies. Our urgent desire is to give effect to these declarations [against Germany].
We wish to do so in a way entirely consonant with the general scheme of British action, and therefore would place ourselves, in matters big and small, under the coordinating direction of His Majesty’s Government. The Jewish Agency is ready to enter into immediate arrangements for utilizing Jewish manpower, technical ability, resources, etc.
[Emphasis in red added by The Scriptorium.]
A large German bank would freeze funds paid in by immigrants in blocked accounts for German exporters, while a bank in Palestine would control the sale of German goods to Palestine, thereby providing the immigrants with the necessary foreign currency on the spot. Sam Cohen, co-owner of Hanoaiah Ltd. and initiator of the transfer endeavors, was however subjected to long-lasting objections from his own people and finally had to concede that such a transfer agreement could only be concluded on a much higher level with a bank of its own rather than that of a private company. The renowned Anglo-Palestine Bank in London would be included in this transfer deal and create a trust company for [this] purpose.
It was one thing for the Zionists to subvert the anti-Nazi boycott. Zionism needed to transfer out the capital of German Jews, and merchandise was the only available medium. But soon Zionist leaders understood that the success of the future Jewish Palestinian economy would be inextricably bound up with the survival of the Nazi economy. So the Zionist leadership was compelled to go further. The German economy would have to be safeguarded, stabilized, and if necessary reinforced. Hence, the Nazi party and the Zionist organizers shared a common stake in the recovery of Germany.

Shocking Revelations Emerge in New Book
• Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh and America’s Fight Over World War II, 1939-1941
By Michael Collins Piper
Until a few years ago, most patriots fondly recalled aviator Charles Lindbergh for his leadership of the America First movement that fought to prevent Franklin D. Roosevelt from steering the United States into war against Adolf Hitler’s Germany.
However, in recent times, pernicious Internet agitprop has convinced many patriots that heroes like Lindbergh and his “isolationist” colleagues were actually traitors doing the work of the New World Order.
One broadcaster in particular promotes this nonsense by constantly harping about “the Nazis,” hyping writers who smear Lindbergh and claim Hitler’s heirs are today plotting the “rise of the Fourth Reich.”
Those conned by this garbage fail to see this is really a ploy to keep the image of “the Holocaust” alive, thereby advancing the interests of Israel, which benefits from the Holocaust in multiple ways, without ever mentioning the word “Israel” even once. And that’s propaganda at its most deceptive and calculating.
Even more disturbing is that—as a consequence of this skewed version of history taking a grip on the minds of so many—a remarkable number of today’s patriots have no idea that roughly 90 percent of the American people agreed with Lindbergh: A war against Hitler was a war America should not fight.
The history of that period has been savagely distorted and those who should know don’t have a clue as to what really happened.
Ironically, however, coming out of an elite publishing giant, Random House, is a new book presenting a fascinating look at the efforts by Lindbergh to stop the push to embroil America in that unnecessary war: Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh and America’s Fight Over World War II, 1939-1941.*
The flagrantly pro-British author, Lynne Olson, clearly holds Lindbergh’s traditional American nationalism in contempt, which explains why former secretary of state Madeleine Albright—who famously said the price of 500,000 dead Iraqi children was “worth it”—hails Olson as “our era’s foremost chronicler of World War II politics and diplomacy.”
Still, though soiled by its pro-New World Order slant, this is a book patriots need to read. Many books from establishment sources contain a lot of valuable facts. This is one such volume. Here are just a few of the author’s amazing admissions:
• Solid data proving that the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and its Wall Street backers did not support Hitler, but vehemently opposed him.
• British intelligence set up shop at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan and collaborated with the pro-war Fight for Freedom—mostly “upper class East Coast Protestants”—and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B’nai B’rith, the Jewish espionage agency. All worked closely with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover who was tapping the phones of those who opposed to the drive for war that Lindbergh said was the work of “the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration.”
• The amazing story of how many high-ranking military officers “fiercely opposed” FDR’s efforts to arm Britain. Opposing aid to the British was no less than Gen. George C. Marshall whom the author says is now “regarded as the country’s greatest military figure in WWII.”
•While Americans today believe Britain was always seen as a grand ally, the author reveals that, after World War I, “many Americans came to believe that their country had entered the war not because its own national interests demanded such action, but because it had been tricked by the scheming, duplicitous British.”
• FDR utilized warmongering rhetoric of exactly the type today coming from essentially the same sources, including advocacy of the kind of police-state measures such as the Patriot Act and the concept of “homeland security,” which patriots have become convinced was a “Nazi” invention. Substitute’s today’s Muslim-bashing for German-bashing and it is history repeating itself.
Declaring any criticism of his policies as detrimental to national security, FDR spoke of “clever schemes of foreign agents” on American soil. However, the author admits: “The United States never faced any serious threat of internal subversion before or during the war. But the American people never knew that; in fact, they were told the opposite.”
• And, despite Pearl Harbor, most Americans still didn’t see the need for war against Hitler. The author admits, “the odds are high that Congress and the American people would have pressured the president to turn away from an undeclared war against Germany . . . and focus instead on defeating Japan.” Today, most Americans think Pearl Harbor sparked a nationwide cry of “Defeat the Nazi Beast.” It never happened.

The Book’s Publisher Says
Those Angry Days is the definitive account of the debate over American intervention in World War II—a bitter, sometimes violent clash of personalities and ideas that divided the nation and ultimately determined the fate of the free world.
At the center of this controversy stood the two most famous men in America: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who championed the interventionist cause, and aviator Charles Lindbergh, who as unofficial leader and spokesman for America’s isolationists emerged as the president’s most formidable adversary. Their contest of wills personified the divisions within the country at large, and author Lynne Olson makes masterly use of their dramatic personal stories to create a poignant and riveting narrative.
While FDR, buffeted by political pressures on all sides, struggled to marshal public support for aid to Winston Churchill’s Britain, Lindbergh saw his heroic reputation besmirched by allegations that he was a Nazi.
Spanning the years 1939 to 1941, Those Angry Days vividly recreates the rancorous internal squabbles that gripped the United States in the period leading up to Pearl Harbor. After Germany vanquished most of Europe, America found itself torn between its traditional isolationism and the need to come to the aid of Britain, the only country still battling Hitler. The conflict over intervention was, as FDR noted, “a dirty fight,” rife with chicanery and intrigue, and Those Angry Days recounts every bruising detail.
39-45 : les dossiers oubliés : retour sur les crimes soviétiques et américains
VARSOVIE via (NOVOpress)
Boguslaw Woloszanski, journaliste polonais, continue dans son nouvel ouvrage, 39-45 : les dossiers oubliés, aux Editions Jourdan, d’explorer les faces méconnues de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, sur la base notamment de la récente ouverture des archives de l’ex-Union Soviétique.
Le premier chapitre du livre est d’ailleurs consacré aux manœuvres de l’un des plus grands criminels de l’histoire du XXème siècle : Joseph Staline. Où comment l’ami de Lénine liquida en 1937 le chef de son armée, Mikhaïl Nikolaïevitch Toukhatchevski, danger pour son pouvoir absolu, avec l’aide… du régime hitlérien, trop heureux de priver l’Armée Rouge de son officier le plus talentueux.
Boguslaw Woloszanski rappelle aussi les coups tordus perpétrés par les démocraties occidentales durant ce conflit qui saigna à blanc le continent européen. L’auteur souligne pourquoi des centaines de Canadiens furent sacrifiés à Dieppe le 19 août 1942 alors que seulement 50 Américains débarquèrent sur le sol normand ce jour là.
Les Etats-Unis mirent le paquet en revanche pour s’attaquer à des cibles non militaires. Boguslaw Woloszanski revient sur les raids aériens américains sur Tokyo en 1945. Celui du 9 au 10 mars fut le plus meurtrier des bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : 100 000 victimes, pour la plupart brûlées vives. Puis les bombardements d’Hambourg en juillet 1943 ou le génocide satanique de Dresde en février 1945.
Au cours des sept derniers mois de cette campagne, ce type d’actions a provoqué la destruction de 67 grandes villes japonaises, causant plus de 500 000 morts et quelque 5 millions de sans abri. Pourtant, aucun général américain ne fut traduit devant un tribunal international pour ces crimes de guerre.
The Soviet “reporters” knew what was expected of them regarding their communiqués after taking the concentration camps. Anybody naïve enough to believe that the Soviets, in performing this “duty,” were concerned with “honesty and truth in reporting,” should be reminded of the Soviet record of always trying to avoid culpability for any misdeeds.1

John Sack’s An Eye For An Eye
You might have heard of concentration camps that the Germans ran for the Jews. But, have you heard about the 1255 concentration camps that the Jews ran for ethnic Christian Germans AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR? Did you know that 60,000 to 80,000 thousand Germans died in those camps? Did you know that the German government refused to investigate these crimes? Did you know that when John Sack, a well-known Jewish reporter, decided to write a book about these camps, no publisher in the « Free World » would dare to publish it? Did you know that one publisher printed it and pulped the entire edition? This is his account in his own words.

Writing Lola’s Story
We Jews always say of the Holocaust, « Never again. Never again will people hurt us simply because we are Jews. » But Lola was apparently saying, « Yes, and never again will I hurt a German simply because he’s a German. » Fifty years ago, Lola was apparently saying, « Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. » This story I wanted very much to write. So …
I start interviewing Lola. At the Inn of the Seventh Ray in Los Angeles. At a Jewish cemetery in New Jersey. On the Champs Elysés in Paris. I interview Lola on and off for two-and-a-half years. Her memories just pour out, and she also introduces me to a dozen other people, all Jews: people who knew her in Gleiwitz, prison guards in Gleiwitz, even the man who appointed her the commandant in Gleiwitz.
I write a twenty-page article on Lola’s revenge and Lola’s redemption. Lola reads it and likes it. The story runs in California magazine. Lola, at her own expense, comes to Washington to promote it on National Public Radio. The story is sold internationally, and it’s reprinted in Best Magazine Articles, 1988. We have movie offers. Bette Midler and Suzanne Somers want to play the Lola part.
And then I write a book proposal. I write, « It’s Lola’s redemption, not Lola’s revenge, that this book’s about. » I’ll go to Germany. I’ll find some prisoners maybe. I’ll go to Poland. I’ll find some more guards, maybe. I’ll write a book. The title will be Lola. And in August 1988, the publisher Henry Holt in New York City says, « Okay! We want it! » Good news, and I phone it to Lola.
And Lola on the telephone says, « Listen, John, I don’t want you to write it. » I say, « Lola? Lola, this is the first time you’ve told that to me. » I say, « Lola, we signed a contract. » We had signed one. Lola had written, « I grant you the exclusive right to write and to publish a book about my life. »
That night I go to Lola’s apartment in Hollywood. Anyone here ever been in an encounter group? Remember your first night? Everyone shouting and screaming. You’re just sitting there stupefied. You’re thinking, « What is going on? » Well, I’m in Lola’s condo. Lola is saying, « Lookit, John. I don’t like the way you write. You write like a reporter. If you start writing this book, I will stop you. I will stop you! »
Lola’s daughter is there. She’s saying, « John, give it up. I’m begging you to give it up. John! Give it up! » Another daughter of Lola’s is there. She’s a lawyer, and she says, « John! You’re going to have instantaneous and very expensive litigation! » Lola’s saying, « I’ll go to court. » The daughter’s saying, « John, I want you to sign this release. John! Sign the release! » The other daughter’s saying, « John! Just leave us! Just go! » Lola’s saying, « John! Get out of our lives! »
I leave. I telephone Lola but she doesn’t answer. I write her, but she sends the letters back, unopened, inscribed « refused. »
And not just Lola. Lola’s second-in-command at the prison in Gleiwitz was Moshe, also a Jew. He won’t talk to me. His wife on the telephone says, « We don’t give you the permission to write this. » I say, « I … You … » That’s what I say, « I … You … One doesn’t need permission! » I have permission, from the Constitution of the United States. Moshe’s wife hangs up.
And then there is Jadzia, also a Jew, she was one of Lola’s guards in Gleiwitz. Jadzia says on the telephone, « I was never in Gleiwitz! » Then she says, « Yes, I was in Gleiwitz, but I’ll never talk about it! » And then she talks for an hour saying, « I don’t know nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Nothing! Nothing! »
People won’t talk to me. People tell other people, « Don’t talk to John Sack. » People talk to me, and they lie to me. People say they’ll sue me, they’ll destroy me, they’ll kill me. One man takes my driver’s license, writes down my address, and says, « If you write about me, I will call the Israeli Mafia. »
Here’s some advice. Never tell a reporter, « You’d better not write this. » I have a contract with Henry Holt. I’ve made a promise to Henry Holt. I keep my promises.
In April 1989, I fly to Germany. I go to this castle, this concrete castle, high on a hill above the Rhine. It’s the German Federal Archives, and they’ve got forty thousand statements there by Germans who lived in what now is Poland during World War II. The statements of course are in German, in German script, and I find five statements from Germans who were in Lola’s prison.
I go to another place in Germany: a great medieval hall, with banners on the stone walls. It’s a reunion of a thousand people from Gleiwitz. They’re drinking beer. They’re eating sausages and sauerkraut. They’re laughing and singing, « Ein prosit, ein prosit … » And I’m like a little flower girl. You know, the girl who goes from table to table selling roses? I’m going around asking, « Uh, excuse me. Anyone here who was in prison in Gleiwitz? » Yeah, I am a party pooper. I admit it. But eventually I find five of Lola’s prisoners.
I take the train to Gleiwitz. Now it’s Gliwice, Poland. And going through Communist East Berlin, I’m arrested, taken off the train, and locked up in a little room because with me I have a copy of the book Die Vertreibung der deutschen Bevìkerung aus den Gebieten ótlich der Oder-Neisse [« The Expulsion of the German Population from the Territories East of the Oder-Neisse, » published in the 1950s by the Bonn government]. Hours later I’m let out and I get to Gleiwitz/ Gliwice at four in the morning. It’s a city of two hundred thousand people, almost none of whom speak English. I don’t speak Polish, but I find three of Lola’s guards. They remember her well.
It’s 1989, Poland is still Communist, but I get into Lola’s prison, into the prisoners’ cells. I tell them, « Djien dobre. Good morning. » I see the prison records. Remember when, according to Lola, she went to the Polish government and said, « I want revenge »? Well, I find her application, in her own handwriting. She wrote, « I want to cooperate against our German oppressors. » I find the official document appointing her commandant in Gleiwitz.
After that, I go to Germany eleven more times, to Poland three more times, to France, Austria, Israel, Canada, and all around the United States. Through interpreters I talk to two hundred people in Polish and Russian, Danish and Swedish, German and Dutch, French and Spanish, Yiddish and Hebrew. I left out English. I get three hundred hours of tape-recorded interviews, and I see thousands of documents.
And what do I learn? Well: Lola was telling the truth. She was the commandant in Gleiwitz. And she was taking revenge. She slapped the Germans around. And just as she said, she stopped. I remember one day in 1989, I’m having lunch with one of her guards at the Hotel Leszny. We’re eating wienerschnitzel. And out of the blue the man says, « You know, Lola stopped. She told us, ‘Stop!’ She said, ‘We’re going to show the Germans we’re not like them.' »
So Lola was telling the truth. But, she wasn’t telling the whole truth. Lola had told me the people in her prison were German soldiers. And yes, twenty of them were German soldiers, men who worked as painters, carpenters, and such. But there were a thousand other prisoners there, and they were German civilians: German men, German women, German children.
One prisoner was a fourteen-year-old boy. He had been out in Gleiwitz wearing his boy scout pants. A man cried out, « You’re wearing black pants! You’re a fascist!, » and he chased the boy and tackled him at the Church of Saint Peter and Paul, and then took him to Lola’s prison. Now, the boy was completely innocent. So were most of the people in Lola’s prison. They weren’t Gestapo. They weren’t SS. They weren’t even Nazis. Out of a thousand prisoners, just twenty were ever even accused of it.
But the Germans in Lola’s prison were slapped and whipped. And I’m so sorry to have to say it, but they were also tortured. The boy scout: the guards poured gasoline on his curly black hair and set it on fire. The boy went insane. The men: they were beaten with a Totschläger, a « beater-to-death. » It’s a long steel spring with a big lead ball at the end. You use it like a racketball racket. Your arm, your wrist, the spring: they deliver a triple hit to a German’s f ace.
Lola didn’t tell me, but the Germans in her prison were dying. I found their death certificates in Gleiwitz city hall. One of Lola’s guards told me, « Yeah, the Germans would die. » He told me, « I’d put the bodies in a horse-drawn cart. I’d cover them with potato peels so no one would see. I’d ride to the outskirts and, after I threw the potato peels out, I’d take the Germans to the Catholic cemetery. To the mass grave. »
We all know about Auschwitz. But I have to tell you, the Germans in Lola’s prison were worse off than Lola had been at Auschwitz. Lola at Auschwitz wasn’t locked in a room night and day. She wasn’t tortured night after night. She herself told me: « Thank God, nobody tried to rape us. The Germans weren’t allowed to. » But all of that happened to German girls at Lola’s prison in Gleiwitz.
One woman I talked with wasn’t even German. She was Polish. In 1945 she was twenty years old: a tall, blonde, beautiful medical student. The guards at Lola’s prison pulled off her clothes and told her, « Let’s do it! » They beat her and beat her, night after night, until she was black and blue. One morning, she came back to her cell and fell on the floor, sobbing. Her cellmate asked her, « What, what is that blue thing you’re wearing? Oh, oh, it’s your skin. »
And ten feet away was Lola’s office. Lola in her brass, braid, and stars. I once asked her, « Lola, where did you get that uniform?, » and Lola said, « Well, the Russians must’ve given it to me. » That wasn’t the whole truth either.
Lola was in the Polish secret police. Its name was the Office of State Security, in Polish the Urzad Bezpieczenstwa Publicznego. The Germans called it the Polish Gestapo. One of its missions was to round up Nazi suspects. But for all practical purposes, if you were a German, you were a Nazi suspect. So the mission was to round up Germans, imprison them, interrogate them, and if they confess, prosecute them.
In the Office of State Security, the lower ranks were Polish Catholics, but most of the leaders were Polish Jews. The chief of the Office in Warsaw was a Jew. (When I was in Poland he wasn’t alive, but I met some of his family.) The department directors, all or almost all of them, were Jews.
In Silesia, the province where Lola was commandant, the director of the Office of State Security was a Jew. I met him in Copenhagen, a little bald-headed man. The director of prisons was also a Jew. I met his whole family in Tel Aviv. The secretary of state security was a Jew. I met him time and again at his home in New Jersey. And in the Office of State Security in Silesia in February 1945, of the officers – not the enlisted men, not the guards, but the lieutenants, captains and such – one-fourth were Catholics, and three-fourths were Jews.
I interviewed twenty-four of them. And I learned that the Office of State Security ran 227 prisons for German civilians like Lola’s. It also ran 1,255 concentration camps, and I interviewed four of the commandants. They were also Jews. One was Lola’s boy friend, a man who’d lost in the Holocaust his mother, his father, all his brothers (he had no sisters), all his uncles and aunts, and all but one of his cousins. I hope that, like me, you can all have compassion for Solomon Morel.
But one night in February, 1945, Solomon went to his concentration camp in the city of Swietochlowice. He went into the Germans’ barracks, and said, « My name is Captain Morel. I am a Jew. I was at Auschwitz. I swore I would take revenge on you Nazis. » They weren’t Nazis, but Solomon said, « Now! Everyone! Sing the Horst Wessel song! » That was a Nazi anthem. No one wanted to sing it. One boy, fourteen years old, didn’t even know it.
Solomon had a club. He said, « Sing it! » Some people began, « Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen … » « Sing it! Sing it, I say! » They started singing, « Clear the streets for the brown battalions. Clear the street for the Storm Section men. » Solomon had all this hate inside him, and he released it. He picked up a wooden stool and he started beating the Germans to death. For this one camp, I found the death certificates for 1,583 Germans.
In other camps and other prisons, thousands of German civilians died. German men, women, children, babies. At one camp there was a barracks for fifty babies. They were in cribs, but the camp doctor, Dr. Cedrowski – he was a Jew who had been in Auschwitz — he didn’t heat the barracks, and he didn’t give the babies milk. He gave them only some soup, and forty-eight of the fifty babies died.
All in all, sixty to eighty thousand Germans died. Some were killed by Jews, some by Catholics, and many by typhus, dysentery, and starvation, but sixty to eighty thousand died in the custody of the Office of State Security. Now, someone, a German, once told me that this was another holocaust. Well, I’m sure it seemed like a holocaust to the Germans.
But let’s not forget: sixty thousand is one percent of the number of Jews who died in the capital-H Holocaust. Jews didn’t do what the Germans did. We didn’t plot to exterminate the German people. We didn’t mobilize all the Jews and the Jewish state. (There was no Jewish state.) We didn’t send the Germans systematically to cyanide chambers.
But let’s also remember that sixty to eighty thousand civilians is more than the Germans lost at Dresden, and more than, or just as many as, the Japanese lost at Hiroshima, the Americans at Pearl Harbor, the British in the Battle of Britain, or the Jews at Belsen or Buchenwald.
All this was covered up for nearly fifty years. Jews who were involved didn’t talk about it. For example, the chief of police in occupied Breslau, Germany, in 1945, who was Jewish, later wrote a book about the Holocaust. And in telling about his time as chief of police in Breslau, all he says is, « We moved westward to Breslau and … from there … to Prague. » That’s it. And Jewish reporters who knew didn’t write about it. There’s a working reporter right now in New York City who was in Poland right after World War II. He told me, « Whatever, whatever the Germans tell you, believe me, it’s true. » But he himself, he never wrote about it.
The truth was covered up, and was still being covered up. In 1989, I went to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, Israel’s central Holocaust center. As you may know, they have fifty million documents there about the Holocaust. I ask them, « Well, what do you have on the Office of State Security? » They have nothing. I ask them, « What do you have on the Jews in the Office of State Security? » Nothing. I say, « Well, there were Jewish commandants, Jewish directors, Jewish … » The chairman of Yad Vashem responds, « It sounds rather imaginary, » and the director of archives says to me, « Imm-possible! Impossible! »
Denial, denial. I know that denial is a very human thing. But historically I don’t think it’s a Jewish thing. When Abraham, Isaac and Jacob committed sins, we Jews didn’t deny it. Yes, Abraham, the father of our people, sinned. God told him to go to Israel, instead he went to Egypt, and we admitted it in the Book of Genesis. Judah (the word « Jew » comes from Judah) made love to a prostitute. We admitted it in Genesis. Moses, even Moses sinned, and God didn’t let him into the Promised Land. We admitted that in Deuteronomy. Solomon — good, wise, old King Solomon — did evil. He « worshipped idols. » We didn’t cover it up. We admitted it in the Book of Kings.
It seems to me that that’s the Jewish tradition. How can we say to other people — to Germans, to Serbs, to Hutus — « What you’re doing is wrong, » if we ourselves do it and cover it up? I wish it were someone else who was here today. Abraham Foxman. Elie Wiesel. I wish he or she would simply say yes, some Jews, some Jews, did evil in 1945. But when the Jewish establishment didn’t say it, then I had to say it.
I’m a reporter. That’s what reporters do. Someone kills sixty thousand people, we report it. If we don’t report it, it might become common, or more common, than it already is. But also I’m a Jew, and the Torah says (Leviticus 5:1), that if someone does evil, and if I know it and don’t report it, then I am guilty too.
So I start writing this book. The title now won’t be Lola. It’ll be An Eye For An Eye. And on the third page I write, « I hope that An Eye For An Eye is something more than the story of Jewish revenge: that it’s the story of Jewish redemption. » I write about Jews taking revenge, yes. But that is one tenth of An Eye for an Eye. Mostly I write …
I write about Zlata, Moshe, Mania, and Pola. They were Jews who refused to look at, much less work at Lola’s prison. I write about Ada, who visited the prison once, just once, and then fled to Israel. I write about Shlomo, who was in the Office of State Security and, at the risk of his life, told people in it, « You must stop doing this. »
I write about Lola. I write that in Gleiwitz she finally remembered how a Jew should act and, at the risk of her life, she got bread, her own bread from her own home, and smuggled it to the German prisoners. Now this isn’t something that Lola told me. No, the prison guards told me. They said that if Lola had been caught, she’d have gone to prison herself.
And I write that at Yom Kippur, 1945, Lola — again at the risk of her life — escaped from Gleiwitz, just as she had escaped some months earlier from Auschwitz, and came to the United States. Almost all the Jews in the Office of State Security escaped, at the risk of their lives, in September, October, and November 1945. And I write that too. They crept through the woods into Germany, or climbed the pass into Italy. They did what the SS never did: they deserted, they defected.
I was crying while I was writing this. My advance from Henry Holt was $25,000, and for three years I was writing An Eye For An Eye. In September 1991 I finally finished it, wrapped it up, and mailed it to Henry Holt in New York. And I told myself: « Okay. I’ve done it. That’s the end of the cover-up. »
No. Because then the people at Henry Holt say, « We don’t want it. » They don’t say it’s wrong. They know it’s right. They just say, « We don’t want to publish it. Keep the twenty-five thousand. » Okay. My agent and I send the manuscript to other publishers: to Harper’s, to Scribner’s – you name it, we sent it – to two dozen other publishers.
And let me tell you. The letters we get from these people, they’re practically blurbs. The publishers say: « well-written, » « extremely well-written, » « chilling, » « compelling, » « disturbing, » « dismaying, » « shocking, » « startling, » « astonishing, » « mesmerizing, » « extraordinary, » « I was riveted, » « I was bowled over, » « I love it! » And the publishers all reject it. The letter from St. Martin’s Press says, « I am always moved by Holocaust books, but I’d have trouble distinguishing this book … from other books … in this vast area of literature. »
Okay. My agent and I agree that if we can’t sell a book, we’ll try magazines. One of the chapters is on Solomon Morel. Remember? The man who lost his mother, father, all his siblings, uncles, and aunts in the Holocaust. The man who had so much hate for the Germans, he had to disgorge it, who commanded a concentration camp at Swietochlowice, and beat Germans to death.
Solomon is still alive. He’s wanted by Interpol for crimes against humanity. Interpol has an international warrant out for his arrest. But he’s fled to Israel. He’s taking refuge in Tel Aviv, and no one in America — no newspaper, magazine or television network — has ever reported it.
So we send the chapter on Solomon Morel to Esquire magazine. I’ve been a contributing editor there, a war correspondent in Vietnam, Iraq, Bosnia. Esquire says, « No. » We send it to GQ magazine. GQ says, « Yes! » The editor says it’s the most important story in GQ’s history. He even tells that to an editor of Esquire at a bar in Greenwich Village. He tells him, « Ha, ha! You don’t have it! We do! »
For six weeks GQ is fact-checking. They don’t find a single error. They send me the galley proofs, the page proofs, and on Wednesday the presses will roll. And then the telephone rings at my home in the Rocky Mountains. The editor of GQ says, « John, this isn’t a happy phone call. We aren’t going to run it. » He tells me to keep the $15,000 and to sell the story somewhere else.
So once again my agent and I are making calls, sending faxes, passing out the GQ page proofs. Harper’s magazine says no. Rolling Stone says no and « I’m sure you’ll understand. » Mother Jones, that great exposé magazine (« Extra! Extra! Cigarettes are bad for you! ») doesn’t even call back. The New Yorker (which has published ten pieces by me) refuses even to look at it.
But finally, finally, in March 1993, the story of Solomon Morel is published in the Village Voice. And in November, An Eye For An Eye is published by Basic Books, a division of HarperCollins. So, thank God, now it’s all over. I can relax now. Not.
Because one day later there’s a telephone call to Basic Books. It’s from the executive director of the World Jewish Congress. He says he wants an immediate retraction, and if he doesn’t get it he’ll call a major press conference tomorrow. He says he’ll denounce me, Basic Books, and HarperCollins, and say, « They are all anti-Semites. » Well, we don’t retract, and the World Jewish Congress doesn’t denounce. But …
Then the reviews come out. And the reviewers say that An Eye for an Eye isn’t true, that what I wrote there never happened at all.
Please! Much of An Eye For An Eye had been fact-checked by California magazine, fact-checked by GQ, and, for the Village Voice, fact-checked by a woman who is the Fact-Checker from Hell. She and I checked every single word, even if we had to call up Poland. And when, after two weeks of this, night and day, we were finally done, the editor of the Voice gave an interview saying, « This may be the most accurate story in the history of American journalism. »
Much of An Eye For An Eye was corroborated by 60 Minutes, which found eight eyewitnesses I hadn’t found. It was corroborated by the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune. Historians hired by major newspapers in Germany went to the German Federal Archives and wrote, « The facts are true, » « The facts are right, » « The facts are iron-bound. »
But in the United States, one review was entitled « False Witness. » Another was headed « The Big Lie, Continued. »
The Jewish paper Forward said, « Sack is transparently writing docudrama, » and told readers that Lola Potok was not the commandant of the prison in Gleiwitz. Well, Lola herself had told me, « I was the commandant, » and thirty-five other people, including the current commandant, including the current director of prisons, said yes, Lola was the commandant. I have the document that says, « We appoint Citizen Lola Potok Commandant, » and I have a document signed by Lola Potok, Commandant. But still the Forward said, « The unlikelihood is overwhelming but Sack … seems … oblivious. » As I read this, I felt I was being lectured by Chico Marx. Remember? « Who you gonna believe? Your own two eyes or me? » I wrote a letter to the Forward. Over the last seven years, I’ve had to write, at last count, about 1,500 letters about An Eye for an Eye. And all those letters, added up, are twice as long as the book is.
