Maintaining Majdanek as a death camp has been tricky business for Holocaust fabulists. As you can see in the image below, the Holocaust Encyclopedia, which is run by the United States Holocaust Memorial and Museum, no longer classifies Majdanek as an extermination camp. (See my article here for more about that.) Majdanek is such a…

The Alleged Gas Chambers at Majdanek
I have previously written about how the alleged death count for Majdanek has drastically been lowered over the decades since the war. This is no doubt due to the fact that the Majdanek camp remained largely intact after the war, thus it is more difficult for Holocaust fabulists to get away with shenanigans. The death…
Origin of the Term ‘Holocaust’
(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…
