(This article was originally posted on October 24th, 2002. It has been updated with new information) How did the word ‘Holocaust’ come to be the term for the supposed atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis in WW2? Elie Wiesel, a well-known survivor of Auschwitz/Birkenau, made a big contribution to popularizing the term. Wiesel was one of…

Body Count
The Holocaust Encyclopedia (HE), which is hosted by the United States Holocaust Memorial and Museum, presents this list of Jewish Holocaust deaths. Here is the footnote for ‘other’: The following is HE’s vague explanation for how they got the numbers and an admission that they are just estimates. HE also states, “As more documents come…
Albert Speer
In yesterday’s article I posed the question, why was Albert Speer, the Minister of Armaments and War Production, and loyal ally of Hitler, only given 20 years prison time? As Stephen J. Sniegoski simply puts it, “Nuremberg standards were not applied equally to the defendants.” and, “By Nuremberg standards Speer deserved execution.” To illustrate this…
The US Army Misrepresents Dachau
In 1945 the US Army released a 72 page report on Dachau. About this report Wikipedia says, “Although it contains some errors, the report is considered one of the first studies on the Nazi concentration camps.” It is important to note that Dachau is not classified as an extermination camp by orthodox Holocaust historians. Included…
The Sonderkommando Problem Part One
Part 2 The men of the Sonderkommando units are something I have previously written about. Today I would like to talk about the concept as a whole instead of the individual cases. Some questions might come to mind when first learning about the Sonderkommando. First, why would a Jew help the SS men in the…
The Great Sobibor (re)Discovery
Like Treblinka and Belzec, Sobibor was alleged to be a pure extermination camp. It is said that SS chief Himmler ordered the camp to be dismantled in October of 1943. It is further claimed that they demolished the alleged gas chambers. Most of the other camp buildings were demolished, but some barracks were left behind….
The Official Revisionism of Majdanek
According to Wikipedia, “Majdanek (or Lublin) was a Nazi concentration and extermination camp built and operated by the SS on the outskirts of the city of Lublin during the German occupation of Poland in World War II”. The number of victims varies depending on who you ask. Wikipedia states the official estimate as 78,000. While…
The 5 Million Lie
If you’re an older person like myself you may remember 11 million, not 6 million, being the number of Holocaust victims. This number came from a lie about 5 million non-Jewish deaths that Simon Wiesenthal concocted in the 1970’s to ‘make the gentiles pay attention’. Yehuda Bauer, an Israeli historian and Holocaust scholar, estimates the…
Coming Clean About Soap
Sometimes orthodox Holocaust historians are forced to take a loss and admit that well known Holocaust meme is, in fact, a ‘mere rumor’. When they make these admissions one may think that orthodox Holocaust historians are all about presenting the correct version of history. Don’t be fooled. There are plenty of changes to the Holocaust…
Electric Death Panel
The official Holocaust narrative hasn’t always remained the same throughout the decades. One example of this lies in the pages of The Black Book of Polish Jewry, a book I became aware of thanks to Belzec—Propaganda, Testimonies, Archeological Research, and History, by Carlo Mattogno. Nowhere in the Wikipedia article for this book does it say…
