From his own website: “Thomas Dalton is a professor of humanities at a major American university. He has published several books and articles on history and religion, with a special focus on the National Socialist era in Germany. He has also conducted extensive research on historical and contemporary Jewish relations.”
Dalton has an impressive array of work to his name. I am a big fan of his translation of Mein Kampf. I found the modern language easy to understand and I enjoyed the insights from Dalton along with the fact the original German version is displayed alongside the translation.
His book Debating the Holocaust is well received on Goodreads. With overwhelmingly good reviews and one guy that was upset that the book didn’t contain more anti-German propaganda.
Dalton also has articles that you can read here.
Dalton is an asset to the revisionist movement. I thank him for his work!
Debating the holocaust is a great primer for where the “debate” currently stands.
Dalton is one of the best writers and translators we’ve got.
His book “Goebbels on the jews” convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the holocaust was fake, because first Goebbels is complaining that not enough is being done to get the jews out of Berlin and they need a star to prevent the spread of subversive propaganda from the jews in Berlin. He finally gets the “jew” stars around the time the mass gassings were supposed to have commenced. Also WTF? I thought these were evil hateful totalitarian Nazis, how come it took them nearly a decade into their rule to publicly mark their enemy?
Anyhow, then a year or two later he’s regretting the “jew” stars because he’s concerned about the optics of so many jews freely moving about the capital. This is after they’ve already supposedly gassed a million or more jews. Doesn’t make any sense to treat some Berlin jews with kid gloves if they’re also murdering jews by the trainload elsewhere…
Of course if they told us these things in history class, any reasonably intelligent person would realize the narrative doesn’t make sense.
I didn’t realize he was publishing under a pseudonym (as most people use more fanciful names) but it makes sense as any professor publishing what he does under their own name would be quickly excommunicated.
Interesting story about the stars, I had not heard it before. The Holocaust affirmers only like to use what Goebbels says out of context to bolster their anti-Nazi narrative and ignore and suppress rest of it.
Indeed, in a diary entry dated Aug. 12 1941 Dr. Goebbels complained about the jews in Berlin “there are still 75,000 Jews in Berlin, of whom only 23,000 are working” and then he has the idea for badges “I also think it neccesary that the jews be given a badge. They are active in public life as defeatists and mood-spoilers.”
20 August 1941 he writes “On the Jewish Question, I’m now beginning to take action. Because the Führer has allowed me to introduce a badge for the Jews” I think the badges were actually introduced in October.
23 January 1943 He is still trying to get jews out of Berlin. “The Führer is, with me, of the opinion that the Jewish Question in Berlin must be solved as soon as possible. As long as one still finds Jews in Berlin, we cannot speak of internal security.” A later entry in March 2 1943 he writes that they rounded up a lot of jews in Berlin, but some managed to escape.
18 April 1943 is the last mention of the badge, and you can see he no longer wants people to see jews wearing stars in Berlin.
“The Jewish Question in Berlin is still not completely solved. There are still a whole series of so-called ‘prestige Jews’—Jews from privileged mixed marriages but also from unprivileged ones—in Berlin. This results in a plethora of extremely serious problems. In any case, I arrange for all Jews who are still in Berlin to be investigated. I don’t want Jews running around with the Jewish star in the capital. One must either take the Jewish star from them and class them as privileged, or else they must be evacuated altogether from the Reich capital.”
It is ridiculous to take the position that Dr. Goebbels was writing such entries in his diary and at the same time somehow the same state/party apparatus that lacked the will to evacuate “privileged” and “unprivileged” jews from the capital during war-time would simultaneously have the will to unflinchingly carry out the murder of millions of jews and the later cover-up operation.
Almost any angle you look at the holocaust story it is ridiculous. Goebbels somehow proves the holocaust with his out of context quotes, but when you look at what he says in context it paints a much different picture. He certainly had no fondness for jews, but that’s no proof that he and his government were engaging in mass murder of them.
This will make for a future article. The yellow star is a big deal in Holocaust lore. Thanks for the info and idea!
