Letter to the Editor:
The Holocaust and the Church

Editors:

A Catholic News Service release headlined "Remembering the Holocaust: A scientific fact, a religious obligation" appeared in the February 13-26 edition of my issue of the The Florida Catholic newspaper.

The story did not define what the writers meant by "the Holocaust" before it went on to denounce those who "denied" that event. Did it mean deniers of the Nazi oppression of the Jews of Europe in general or did it mean denial of some or all of the stories told about that event? We don't know because the writer doesn't tell us. In the context of criticism of Bishop Williamson which follows, it seems to mean a critic of details such as the number of Jewish victims or the validity of "gas chamber" claims which the article tells us Catholics have a religious obligation to believe, lock, stock and barrel.

Yet much of the story's language of denunciation of "deniers" seems to assume that they deny any oppression of the Jews. This is a false charge. There also seems to be an assumption that all the "facts" surrounding the popular image of the Holocaust have been established beyond question. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I don't know of any serious revisionist who questions that Jews were the victims of Nazi oppression and mistreatment during World War II, or of policies to drive them out of Europe or that many died from conditions in the camps, from typhus and lack of supplies at the end of the war. By serious revisionists I mean such as Prof. Arthur Butz, Germar Rudolf, Carlo Mattogno, Robert Faurisson, Jurgen Graf, Bradley Smith and others.

These revisionist researchers deal with the post war stories which now make up the fabric of what is known as "the Holocaust", the details of which stories which are replete with lies and exaggerations because of war-time propaganda often traceable to Jewish hatred for the Nazi treatment of their fellow Jews and allied revenge promotions such as took place in the Nuremberg trials in which standards of jurisprudence were flouted in the production of "evidence" which would never have been accepted in our courts.

Norman Finkelstein, a Jew who does not consider himself a revisionist, has written that "Much of the literature on Hitler's Final Solution is worthless as scholarship. Indeed, the field of Holocaust studies is replete with nonsense, if not sheer fraud." Finkelstein, a meticulous scholar, has been rewarded for his work by being driven out of his university positions by the Holocaust Industry for daring to hold such views.

I doubt that the critics of revisionism have read any of the work of the serious revisionists...or even know they exist. They are lumped together as evil "deniers", of what? Not said. Their work is refused publication by mainstream publishers, not reviewed by mainstream reviews and in general they are censored from public awareness, except the smear label of "deniers". This is right out of George Orwell's famous book, "1984".

The last thing the promoters of the canon of the Holocaust want is a serious examination of the facts of the Holocaust so the works of serious critics is ignored or is simply denounced wholesale; now apparently by high Catholic officials, to their shame.

Obviously serious study of such a topic as "the Holocaust" should not start by broadly denouncing every critic of details of the historic event now known in popular discourse as "the Holocaust" since many of those discrete detailed stories are now known to be incorrect since their appearance in the aftermath of World War II. For one example of many, it was once claimed that 4 million were killed at Auschwitz, "mostly Jews", but in 1990 this number was "officially" reduced at Auschwitz to 1.5 million and is still going down in the views of certain promoters of the original story, all without the claim of 6 million Jewish victims of the Nazi oppression of the Jews being reduced by a single victim in the popular discourse. "Six million" is repeated every day in the press and has apparently been now officially approved by the Vatican. In fact, it was never an established number as many Jewish writers have admitted and it stems back to undocumented Soviet claims at Nuremberg.

As another example, the giant of the Holocaust promotions, Elie Wiesel, himself a prisoner at Auschwitz, failed to mention the existence of any gas chambers in the French first edition of his autobiographical tale about his time in Auschwitz. He claimed that Jews were killed in open air "burning pits" from which he was miraculously spared at the last moment. Realizing how badly this reflected on the then current gas chamber stories he added some vague hints of gas chambers in his second edition. Wiesel, when given the option, also elected to flee Auschwitz with the murderous Nazis in the face of the advancing Red Army together with his ill father who was being treated by those same Germans, rather than wait for the liberating Reds.

Reexamination of historic events is to be expected in the normal course of the post-event review of any vast and complicated matter of history such as the events of World War II. But it seems that this is not to be allowed in the case of "the Holocaust". In fact, those who dare question any facet of the "official" dogma of the now sacred "Holocaust" are condemned out of hand in the media and academia. No matter what their motives, their evidence or the scholarship of their work they are brushed aside as "deniers" or anti-Semites and destroyed professionally without a hearing. Many examples can be given and the tactics are effective in silencing critics who are usually frightened off by the charge of "anti-Semitism".

In Germany, France and other European countries, to raise any doubt about the now official and sacred canon will cause the questioners to be fined and jailed without the chance to demonstrate the correctness of their positions. See the most recent case of Germar Rudolf, a qualified chemist, for a good example. German lawyers who have defended these cases too vigorously have been disbarred and even jailed. These Stalinist legal procedures are ignored in our "free press", not otherwise criticized in our country nor, by our Church.

Under these circumstances the claim that the historic event, "the Holocaust" in general and in detail is a "scientific fact" is of course a nonsensical statement but to say that "it", whatever is meant by that, must be accepted as a "religious obligation" is outright wrong theology, as if the Church demanded that Catholics must believe that Spain was responsible for blowing up the battleship Maine.

This is getting ridiculous.

I recall the late Pope Paul VI saying that the smoke of Satan had entered the Church. We are seeing his words confirmed in our time.

The article cites an official of the Pontifical Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews as saying that the specific details of "the Holocaust" [not just the general Nazi oppression of the Jews, although this is the sly impression given] are proven by (1) testimony of survivors of the Nazi death camps, (2) the remains of the camps themselves and (3) the meticulous records kept by the Germans. Each of these statements is incorrect.

The appalling ignorance of this man is revealed in the research done by reputable revisionist historians and others who have demonstrated that (1) the survivors testimony is full of lies, conflicting stories and physical impossibilities; (2) the "gas chamber" remains exhibit no use of the supposed Zyklon B insecticide gas killing agent nor did the other claimed impossible execution methods exist, claims mostly now quietly dropped by the promoters (electric plates, atom bombs, diesel exhaust, etc.), and (3) the meticulous German records, many now released from post-communist Russia, do not support the gas chamber and other stories, nor, it is now conceded, are there any records of a "Hitler Order" for gassing, no plans, etc. which cause the promoters to assert that the whole scheme was implemented by the otherwise bureaucratic Germans with a wink and a nod! But all this is buried because of the censorship of revisionist scholarship and demonization of revisionists, now I'm sorry to see joined in by my Church. Shame!

Perhaps the worst aspect of the story is the warning by a prominent Rabbi that the Vatican had better get cracking on "Holocaust denial", whatever is meant by that, lest Jews begin to doubt the Church's claim to be opposed to anti-Semitism. How long are the highest personages in our Church going to cringe in the upper room for fear of the Jews and tolerate this kind of threat? Ask yourself if I will be accused of anti-Semitism for asking these questions? If so, why? That smoke gets stronger by the day.

Obama And Holocostianity
Baseless, Ignorant And Hateful
By Michael Hoffman
6-7-9
...Let's be real. Ending Israeli hegemony and being
genuinely fair to the Arab nation of peoples which
the Orthodox rabbis denominate as "Amalek,"
would require a revolutionary break with Holocaustianity,
the universal, de facto state religion of the Western world...

The Crucifixion
of Bishop Williamson
As I observe the vilification of Bishop Williamson
occurring in the Catholic blogosphere, I can’t help
but recall the gospel account of the crucifixion
of Christ Himself. For with the exception
of the Blessed Mother and St. John,
the rest of His apostles had abandoned Him,
quaking in their boots “for fear of the Jews” (John 19:38).
Fast forward 20 centuries and something eerily similar
seems to be happening again. Only this time, the person
being abandoned and crucified is Bishop Richard Williamson
of the Society of St. Pius X. And what was his crime,
pray tell? It seems His Excellency has a penchant
for speaking the truth to power, something Our Lord Himself
was not afraid to do, including the following flamer
- right to the Pharisees’ faces (John 8:44): Read More

Mahler Gets 6 Years
Over Holocaust Statement
Zionism Is Destroying Civilization
2-26-9
MUNICH - German dissident Horst Mahler
has been sentenced to six years in prison
for "Volksverhetzung" (racial incitement).
The symbolically significant number of years
imposed for "anti- Semitic hate speech"
stemmed from his refusal to recognize
the Jewish Holocaust®, which he described
as "the biggest lie in world history."

Catholic bishop demonised
for 'Holocaust denial'
Ruth Gledhill, religion correspondent of The Times,
provided an inadvertent lesson in the importance
of source critical revisionism on 23rd January.
This week she has devoted several Times Online
articles to attacking the traditionalist
Catholic Society of St Pius X, which after many years
of excommunication has been readmitted to the
Roman Catholic communion.
Jewish groups have objected to this rapprochement
between the Vatican and the Society, charging
inter alia that the Society has promoted anti-semitism
and that one of its bishops, Richard Williamson,
is a "holocaust denier". Ms Gledhill details these charges,
and provides a link to a Swedish television exposé
of the Society broadcast last week. Bishop Williamson
is reported to be facing investigation under Germany's
notorious anti-revisionist laws, which have already
imprisoned scientist Germar Rudolf,
publisher Ernst Zundel, and lawyer Sylvia Stolz.

Speak on, Bishop Williamson
By Michael Hoffman
January 27, 2009
www.RevisionistHistory.org
...There is a rather startling hue and cry for the head
of Bishop Richard Williamson, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX)
bishop who doubts the existence of execution gas chambers
in Auschwitz-Birkenau, and whose excommunication,
along with that of his three brother bishops,
has been lifted by Pope Benedict XVI.
Extraordinary misrepresentations amounting to false witness
have been made against this bishop
and World War II revisionists in general.
Ignorant persons who have never read a revisionist text
have concocted wild fantasies about the character
of revisionists and what they believe. Read More

THE PLOT AGAINST
THE CHURCH
BY MAURICE PINAY
1962

Translated from the
German and Spanish
editions of the
same work

THE BROKEN CROSS by Piers Compton -- The expose from his book tells us of the initiation of “Cardinal” Roncalli into Rosicrucian Masonry. Roncalli was the same cleric who later in the 1958 Conclave, snatched the Chair of Peter by the devious assistance of the B’nai B’rith, the Jewish Masonic arm that controls all the instruments of world power today. The seal of the Conclave was broken by their agent in the person of Cardinal Tisserant of France. It is also interesting to note that since Roncalli falsely stole the Chair of Peter, a very large number of Cardinals have also been exposed as secret Masons. ( Quotation from: http://www.truecatholic.org/brokencross.htm).

Organized Jewry
Opposes Free Speech
By Prof Kevin MacDonald
1-29-9
.....It is something of an axiom of Jewish life
that "Is it good for the Jews?" remains
the litmus test of Jewish communal activity -
in other words, interest over principles.
A good example is free speech. There can be
little doubt that the organized Jewish
community sees free speech as a problem
because it may be used to criticize
the behavior of Jewish organizations
and especially Israel....
