“..my memories. ..attempt to describe ..how ..German Reich managed to get me ..into ..death camps ..Majdanek and Auschwitz against my will.” Rudolf Vrba.
The Jewish People has delivered a certain stability, and an incredible economic worth to each and every one of the states to be mentioned in connection with The Holocaust. The fact then that all of these states so disowned these Jewish People is written in 6,000,000 destructive terms incomprehensible to all of History. It is alo reflective of the financial gains made within these states which had their Jewish Citizens disgorged toward the Death Camps in Poland and the Killing Sites throughout Europe. In all their years of Community, amongst Neighbours who all too often resented their differing Culture, and Faith, we recognise where Jews resided for a period of more than 2,000 years in many cases. So while every cautious effort is being made in informing History upon the accuracy of these Gassed, and Slaughtered Jews, any such caution cannot then prove to become reckless in the more complete assessment of those same Jews being disregarded. For two escaping Birkenau Jews, they took their personal Evidence’s that they had clearly calculated, and then articulated them, so as to deliver this, their relevant Testimony toward a knowing World. The necessary understanding, which required some response to the mass killing operation within Birkenau, should have progressed a more comprehensive response.
“..Lublin [read Majdanek] 24,733 ..Belzec 434,508 ..Sobibor ..101,370 ..Treblinka ..713,555.” SS Sturmbannfuhrer Hermann Hoefle.
This Telegram from Hoefle, a member of the coordinator’s office of Aktion Reinhard, was sent to Eichmann at RSHA and is dated, January 11th 1943. It all relates to the Murders of Jews in just 4 of the 6 Death Camps in Poland, but also all 3 of which were the Aktion Reinhard Death Camps. Note too that the Death Camp Majdanek is the aforementioned Lublin, as Majdanek sat very close to the proximity of the centre of the City of Lublin. The assessment, finally being made for all x6 Death Camps within Poland clearly extends to as near an understanding of the all the collated evidences that have been presented to us:
Belzec 500,000 to 1,800,000 Jews,
Birkenau 1,100,000 to 3,000,000 Jews, (Including Auschwitz)
Chelmno 152,000 to 1,300,097 Jews,
Majdanek 120,000 to 500,000 Jews,
Sobibor 225,000 to 350,000 Jews, and
Treblinka 700,000 to 1,200,000 Jews, with a
Sub-Total 2,797,000 to 8,150,097 Jews having been Murdered in just these 6 Death Camps within Poland, and alone takes no account of der Einsatzgruppe aktionen, Jewish Deaths in the Ghetto system or in fact the calamitous loss to Jews wherever they met with Hitler’s resolve for them! For those like Rudolf Vrba, and Alfred Wetzler, who brought their Testimony to the World, a World that was evidently aware of much of the degree of the Jewish Catastrophe, this Evidence is still to be recognised as fully pertinent in relating the extraordinary measures undertaken in destroying the Jewish presence sent to Birkenau from across Europe. It is April 7th 1944 by the time the evidence of these witness’ testimony from both Vrba and Wetzler reaches the Western World, and we are moments away from the expulsion of Hungarian Jewry. For this resulting testimony, that is The Vrba & Wetzler Report, paves a route straight back to a time when these individual Jews were a witness to the gravest atrocity ever to be faced by our own humanity.
“..Americans ..British ..fly in these regions. ..Why did they not drop ..bombs on ..horrible tomb ..sixty kilometres from their Northern Frontier. They could have wrecked SS barracks ..ramps ..crematoriums ..roads ..rail track. Why didn’t they..” Alfred Wetzler.
There is an apparent inaction in terms of treating the Gassing of the Jews which certainly allowed the escalation of this murderous effort to continue unimpeded, unheeded and progressed further. Then, and once we are witnessing the delivery of Hungarian Jewry, which could surely have been saved by strategic and targeted bombing, never materialised . Today, there is this continuing argument over the bombing of the Death Camps, some even suggesting the Jews themselves did not request such an action, and yet we know that the industrial capacity of Auschwitz/Monowitz was targeted. However, while the Annihilation Centre that is Auschwitz/Birkenau, was within the same vicinity, it was not considered a worthwhile target. So let us be more precise than the uncertain ambiguity that now seeks to deprive all too many Jews to be taken from a position within which they were murderously consigned to. In all conscience, and this must matter to all of History also, that the very accuracy of any accounting cannot even partially disregard the prospect of just one of these Jews not being recorded. So allow me tell you a little about the disregard for The Holocaust evidence, which is evident and to be clear, I propose only that the factual truth as it is known to us was clearly known to an intelligence entity that existed immediately outside the gates of these 6 Death Camps in Poland.
“..Even among ..degradations of Auschwitz most of ..prison doctors managed to retain their humanity and their professional integrity.” Rudolf Vrba.
In particular, and more accurately, if this evidence comes directly from Jewish witnesses who escaped from the tragedy of their own Jewish People, and we are clearly being informed of this truth, the World cannot be allowed to simply disregard any semblance of this truth, let alone commission the dismissal of it. For the Slaughter of more than 6,000,000 Jews of Europe, for them to matter toward all of History, the truth must be factually based and must be resolute in its certain integrity. In the case of the enormous Slaughter of those Jews gassed within Birkenau for instance, it cannot then be acceptable to ignore the careful acknowledgement that these two escaping and Surviving Jews, Rudolf Vrba, and Alfred Wetzler, delivered upon their very honest entreaty to add to the message on the very truthful evidence that clearly identified that Birkenau was devouring 10’s of 1,000’s of Jews each and every day. But carefully woven into the narrative of history as some might see it, is the dilution of the very Jewish presence that both Vrba and Wetzler attested to. For such is the evidence to become a testimony to be witnessed, as having recorded the Jewish People in the throes of dissolution, their annihilation, destruction, and extermination is to be recorded for all time.
“..Mothers with little Children at.. breast ..little naked Children ..Adults ..Men ..Women ..all naked they hesitate but they enter ..death chambers ..pushed forward by those behind them or driven by ..leather whips of ..SS. ..majority without saying a word. Many people pray. I pray with them ..I press myself in a corner and shout loudly to my and their God. How gladly I would have entered ..chamber together with them ..how gladly I would have died ..same death as them. Then they would have found a uniformed SS man in their chambers ..case would have been understood and treated as an accident ..one man quietly missing. Still I am not allowed to do this. First I must tell what I am experiencing here.” Kurt Gerstein.
So when we speak wholeheartedly of the Destruction of the Jewish People, we know that it is being conducted in full view of a watching World, and these are Jewish Males, Females, and Their Children. That these Jews were confined and then delivered toward extinction, and for no other reason than they were Jews, was not lost upon the Polish population. Transports crisscrossing all of Poland, and which was to be a daily witness of the calamity for their Polish Jewish Neighbours, is being sanctioned away from this truth. But let me borrow here from one such as an SS Officer we would not expect to present, and though Kurt Gerstein was indeed a Waffen SS officer, he so ably describes the killing process at Belzec, amongst others of the Death Camps, and his evidence is vital to us. This description that is presented could easily then describe all depictions of what was presented to the 1,000,000’s of Jews at all, and any of the 6 Death Camps established in Poland, and this included Birkenau. But let’s take as a sample of Birkenau’s capacity, and that this could equate to far more than Gassing just 10,000 Jewish People, but on a daily basis for the entire period of its operational capacity.
“..on 17 August 1942 ..we are running three facilities
I. Belzec ..Maximum output 15,000 persons daily
II. Treblinka ..Maximum output 25,000 persons daily
III. Sobibor ..20,000 persons maximum output daily
IV. Then in preparation ..Majdanek near Lublin
Belzec ..Treblinka ..and Majdanek I have visited personally in detail ..together with ..leader of these facilities ..Polizeihauptmann Wirth.” Kurt Gerstein.
I would NEVER advocate for any nazi, let alone a member of the Waffen SS, but here I am. For his own personal reasoning SS Obersturmfuhrer Kurt Gerstein sought to dismantle the supposed secrecy that was to surround the Death Camp system. I have written of this accounting in my Book on Hitler’s Belzec, only to add further weight to discontinued Testimonies which proliferate the arena that seeks to distort and dissolve the placing of the Jewish People in the midst of this immense atrocity. But what evidence’s there are, which would suggest we are far too conservative in our estimates for those Jews Slaughtered, have been clearly become dismissed in a bid to whitewash the fomented collusion given over to the Death dealing and Destruction of these Jews from Europe. I do not ever wish to enter into any speculative position, especially with regard to how many Jews we should suggest have been annihilated, but the veracity of such truth as would deliver to posterity the totality of the factual destruction of all the Jews incarcerated within The Holocaust, proves problematic. That this has all too easily been presented, and for so long that we have accepted them far too readily, it is still regardless of these very evidence’s from those who literally worked at the coal face.
“..crematoriums weren’t really noticeable. ..ground was hollowed on an incline ..and an outsider would only see that ..wagons disappeared into a depression in ..ground. A big door led to ..so-called undressing room ..where there were numbered places and cloakroom tickets. Arrows on ..wall pointed to ..showers. ..signs were in six or seven languages. In ..enormous crematorium everything was spick and span. Nothing suggested that 1,000’s of people had been gassed and burned ..previous night. Nothing was left of them ..not even a speck of dust on ..oven fittings. I wanted to meet ss people and went to ..ss guardroom in Birkenau. There I got my first real shock. While guardrooms were generally of Spartan simplicity ..here SS men lay on couches and dozed ..staring ahead glassy-eyed. Instead of a desk there was a hotel kitchen stove in ..room and four or five young Jewesses of Oriental beauty were making potato pancakes and feeding ..ss men ..who had themselves waited on like pashas. ..ss men and ..female prisoners used ..familiar form ..Du with one another. At my horrified questioning look ..my escort simply shrugged his shoulders and said that ..men had a hard night behind them ..they had to process several transports. At a final locker check ..it turned out in a few lockers ..wealth of gold ..pearls ..rings ..currency of all countries ..piled up. I had never seen anything like it.” SS Judge & Obersturmfuhrer Konrad Morgen.
Make no mistake what those like Richard Boeck, Kurt Gerstein, Johannes Kremer, Otto Moll, Konrad Morgen, Karl Schultze, and or Herman Uddink, all are relaying to History here, what is the very fact that each of these establishments could deal in the numbers that are to be suggested. For accuracy though, I have implanted the figure for the Death Camp he mentions in IV, the establishment at Majdanek, in the City of Lublin. I have not found the accurate assessment that Gerstein would have been capable of delivering to History’s role in make certainty out of such a speculative endeavour. In Gerstein’s conversation though with Hermann Uddink, it is stressed that the early days of the operation in Majdanek was producing 9,000 combined Jewish Deaths on a daily basis. Here I am assuming he was suggesting this for Death Camp I at Belzec, Death Camp II at Treblinka, and Death Camp III at Sobibor and I have taken the average of these 3 Extermination Centres to assess what this might mean for Death Camp IV at Majdanek.
“..I was responsible to see that ..corpses were burned after ..people were killed. I was never responsible for ..actual supervision of ..killing. It was always ..officers or ..physicians who were present at ..time. As my Kommandant ..at ..time ..Hoess should be able to confirm this.” SS Hauptscharfuhrer Otto Moll.
I. In Belzec we recognise that between 500,000 to 1,800,000 Jews, and at a kill rate of 15,000 Jews to be Gassed per day, would see all of these Jews completely eviscerated within 34 days to 120 days, or just 4 Months at most.
“..had already been assigned to take part in gassing. These mass murders took place in small cottages outside ..Birkenau Camp. ..All SS physicians ..took turns to participate in ..gassings ..Sonderaktion. ..oxygen apparatus to revive SS ..employed in ..gassing ..in case any ..should succumb to ..poisonous fumes. When ..transport with people ..destined to be gassed arrived at railway ramp SS officers selected ..persons fit to work ..rest ..old people ..all children ..women with children ..other persons not deemed fit to work ..loaded onto lorries ..drive to ..gas chambers. ..people ..undressed ..went naked to ..gas chambers. ..door was closed ..SS man in ..gas mask threw ..Cyklon ..through ..opening. ..shouting ..screaming ..could be heard ..it was clear they were fighting for their lives. ..for a very short while.” SS Untersturmfuhrer Dr. Johannes Paul Kremer.
II. In Treblinka we recognise that between 700,000 to 1,500,000 Jews, and at a kill rate of 25,000 Jews to be Gassed per day, would see all of these Jews completely eviscerated within 28 days to 60 days, or just 2 Months at most.
“..accompanied ..driver Hoeblinger. A transport ..from Holland and ..prisoners had to jump from ..wagons. ..well off Jews. ..women with Persian furs. ..arrived by express train. ..trucks ..already there ..people climbed aboard. ..In ..place Birkenau once stood ..farmhouse and ..four or five big huts.

Heat ..given off. ..bodies ..loaded on a rough wagon ..taken to a ditch. ..next batch ..already undressing in ..huts. After that I didn’t look at my wife for four weeks.” SS Schutze Richard Boeck.
III. In Sobibor we recognise that between 225,000 to 350,000 Jews, and at a kill rate of 20,000 Jews to be Gassed per day, would see these all of these Jews completely eviscerated within 12 days to 18 days, or just within a Month at most.
“..Prufer was an expert ..he designed and constructed these crematoriums and led ..building operations in ..Concentration Camps. I was responsible for ..ventilation systems and for its air injection into ..muffles. In specific instances ..I led ..installation operations personally. I personally led ..installation work in Auschwitz Crematoriums and gas chambers. For this purpose ..I travelled to Auschwitz 3 times in 1943. I did not know that in ..crematoriums in Auschwitz-Birkenau innocent human beings were being liquidated. I thought criminals were being killed there who had partly been sentenced to death because of ..crimes they had committed against ..German Army in Poland and other occupied territories. I am a German and supported and am supporting ..Government in Germany and ..laws of our Government. Whoever opposes our laws is an enemy of ..State ..because our laws establish him as such. I did not act on personal initiative but as directed by Ludwig Topf. I was afraid of losing my position and of possible arrest. ..I was not a member of the NSDAP [National Socialist German. I only respected and acted according to ..laws of my country.” Karl Schultze.
IV. In Majdanek we recognise that between 120,000 to 500,000 Jews, at a kill rate of even 3,000 Jews to be Gassed per day, would see all of these Jews completely eviscerated within 40 days to 167 days, or just within 6 Months at most.
“..With great indignation he told me how ..gassings took place using ..exhaust gas from diesel engines. He gave me all ..details and told me that at that time there were 9,000 deaths per day in ..3 camps. At ..beginning I didn’t want to believe him at all ..but his show of emotion and state of psychic collapse more than ..fact that he swore ..gave me ..conviction that a secret had been revealed to me that only a very few people knew. ..He asked me if I could get in touch with people who had radio contact with London. I told him I could. He asked me ..no ..more than that ..he begged me to transmit this story to England ..so it would be known all over ..World ..and that ..German people could be warned.” Herman Uddink.
It is to be made clear, that not one of these Death Camps operated for anything like the short period necessary to accomplish such a Catastrophe and were in action for far longer than the killing rate would suggest. Again though, and while this is a speculative exercise, seemingly unworthy of the Scientific constraints designed to afford all Historical Research a truth of the facts, I choose to point you toward them. History is designed by its own integrity, and any such speculation becomes of intrinsic value, only while the burial of the truth has been consummate to a large degree. It is clear that there is much that the World has no wish to acknowledge in its complicity in all that The Holocaust means. Clearly, we define the losses here which we cannot even comprehend, let alone come to terms with, nor can we acknowledge with any sort of clarity, or even certainty, as to why we arrive at the figures we appear to have fully settled upon. I have yet to finish with the eventual assessment that is humanly necessary to bring to its fullest and scrutinised certainty, a truth which prevails. Yet, I am never going to be in a position to deliver a certainty I am all too well aware will never arrive. The World has settled upon the 6,000,000 Slaughtered Jews as a final assessment of an atrocity it has clearly advanced. Led by its duplicity in failing to attack the aggressors more comprehensively, our World stands accused of being complicit in what is civilisation’s darkest moment in time. This too is a time that has neither lessened the sheer horror of what unfolded in front of these Jewish People, and while a deliberately christian conclave watched, looked away, or simply participated in the perpetration we now seek to confront, and as bystanders we stand accused.
“..In ..1943 ..Dutch resistance asked Uddink to tell me that I was requested not to provide invented atrocities but to be satisfied to report ..truth alone.” Kurt Gerstein.
So even if we were not to adopt Adolf Eichmann’s earlier assumption, in which the Slaughter here would barely take little over 9 months to eviscerate, the suggestion that 2,500,000 Jewish Souls were Gassed, as Adolf Eichmann has declared he had a hand in the Gassing, and this is from just within Birkenau, a more meaningful assessment grows exponentially, and away from prying eyes. However, and along with the evidence from Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, we can at least affirm, as clear a truth as we are likely to attain from those 2 Jewish Survivors, who were present amidst the tragedy that was to unfold, and yet we abandon such is their evidence. And what Eichmann has clearly stated, practically balances out what we are to learn from The Vrba & Wetzler Report. Then, and when we add in the tireless effort by Eichmann to remove from Hungary, some 800,000 to 900,000 Hungarian Jews, the escalation of the atrocity ascends its unprecedented nature in terms of numbers catapulted into oblivion. Then, and in such a short space of time, as we witness the expulsion of Hungarian Jews from within Hungary, we stand before an assessment which is clearly too convenient for distortion. Of course, when we seek to look back into the depths of the catastrophe for the Jews of Europe, we are bound by assessments which are unclear, even as to how many Jewish People were made available for the Slaughter. Surely then, and if truth would have it, if percentages are used to compile the more complete assessment, we need to have a more accurate detail of the totals of Jews that are to be presented to Hitler. Then, and with his murderous minions to the fore, we are more capable of assessing the more complete annihilation that is to follow.
On Friday April 7th 1944 “..Cautious estimate of ..number of ..Jews gassed ..Birkenau ..April 1942 ..April 1944 by Country of origin.
..Poland ..transported by truck 300,000 Jews,
..transported by train 600,000 Jews,
Holland 100,000 Jews,
Greece 45,000 Jews,
France 150,000 Jews,
Belgium 50,000 Jews.
Germany 60,000 Jews.
Yugoslavia, Italy, Norway 50,000 Jews,
Lithuania 50,000 Jews,
Bohemia, Moravia, Austria 30,000 Jews,
Slovakia 30,000 Jews, and
Camps foreign Jews in Poland 300,000 Jews.
Total 1,765,000 Jews.” The Vrba & Wetzler Report.
Then, and along with all of these Jews who will arrive from Hungary, these too will stand alongside the 1,765,000 other Jews, Vrba and Wetzler have identified with. Only then will it become apparent all those Jews Gassed within Birkenau, and as the witness testimony clearly states, must all add to a more complete and accurate one. So while we consider the evidence from Vrba & Wetzler, and this is before We consider the Hungarian Jewish losses are 502,000 to 683,000 in number, we cannot sit back while a museum established in Poland upon the ashes of these Jews is allowed to defer a more substantial truth than it avails itself of. That these too, Hungarian, and the amassed body of European Jewry, becomes recognised that they too were also Gassed in Birkenau. What was not as yet presented by The Vrba & Wetzler Protocol, is the fate of these Hungarian Jews who arrive in such quick succession as to be blindingly swift and deadly.
“..Fuhrer expects ..Hungarian Government will now implement ..operations against ..Jews of Budapest without any further delays.” Joachim von Ribbentrop.
We are now to be met with mercilessly and continuous transports from their Hungarian homeland to Birkenau, being reminded also that earlier Transports had reached other Death Camps. From May 15th 1944 until July 9th 1944 the sheer shock that was to greet Hungarian Jewry, as they are deposited as a depleted European Jewish People at the gates of hell. As they then stood before the Gas Chambers, there was to be a decimation Jewish Humanity had not ever prepared for. In all honesty, all human imagination could never have come to grips with what was presented to all of these Jewish People. But with such shattering reality, and after they had relied too heavily upon the civilising influences for all people, in the assumption that this would be applied all the same for all People, and for the Jews of Europe, this completely betrayed them. In just this coming 55 day period, there are 147 Transports averaging 3,419 Jewish People totalling 502,491 Hungarian Jews wholly delivered to Birkenau for Destruction.
“..I was in Auschwitz. 1,000’s were killed there. ..a law and had to be done ..SS camp leader Schwartzhuber said at ..instructional session. ..They said there must be gassings. ..necessary to exterminate ..Jews. When we asked ..women ..children too. ..everything Hitler did was law.” SS Rottenfuhrer Stefan Baretzki.
If we then add this Hungarian evidence to the testimony that is contained in The Vrba & Wetzler Protocol, we arrive at a figure Eichmann himself sought to endorse. We must then resource whether 825,000 or 911,000 Hungarian Jews previously existed and some 200,000 of these actually Survived. What this then could mean is that 2,267,000 Jewish People were plundered from all existence, or even over the 2,448,000 assessment if we take into account the upper limit of Hungarian Jewish detail, and reminded that this is in Birkenau alone. But let’s be certain too that while evidence’s have emerged which add surely to both assumptions and assertions over the Death Toll within Birkenau, History is disinclined to accept, even nominally, what the actual truth of these Testimony’s deliver and bring to bear. It is a hypothesis which does not serve well the need to reach a more adequate resolve of the Jewish loss with a more finite certainty.
“..A goods train travelled directly into ..camp of Belzec ..freight cars were opened and Jews whom I believe were from ..area of Romania or Hungary were unloaded. ..cars were crammed fairly full. There were men ..women and children of every age. They were ordered to get into line and then had to proceed to an assembly area and take off their shoes.” Professor Dr. Wilhelm Pfannenstiel.
In what we come to learn, in The Vrba & Wetzler Report, Eichmann’s bold assertion fits clearly along those same numerical lines we have been given evidence of. Also, and when we look to those national states who lost their own Jewish Communities, we are presented with figures so stark, the incomprehensibility of what each of the following Country’s have been estimated as losing of their Pre-War Jewish Population engages us in. All of this adds more comprehensibly to the terms of The Holocaust, and as The Final Solution of The Jewish Question had clearly demanded. There is an image here, permanently struck in my wish to deliver for these Jews Gassed in Birkenau, and it is a haunting vision of what is lost. I utilise this image in expanding upon the greatest atrocity ever perpetrated against a People, and this is The Holocaust, as it is aimed at the Jewish People, and for their being Jews.
“..completed furnaces have been started up in ..presence of Engineer Prufer ..Topf. ..planks cannot yet be moved from ..ceiling of ..mortuary cellar on account of frost ..but this is not important ..as ..gassing cellar can be used for that purpose. ..ventilation plant has been held up by restrictions on rail transport ..but ..installation should be ready by February 20th.” SS Sturmbannfuhrer Karl Bischoff.
The image I speak of, as is presented in so many recollections is of the Hungarian Jewish Nan, is perhaps a Grandmother in the course of saving Mother’s for a life afterwards. I have spoken of this image to many of those who have shared an interest in my work, and the devastation of her evisceration amongst the engineered business of German industry, is both brutal and haunting. I regularly shared this photographic image with Students, but it is particularly pertinent for Jews who must understand its significance. The World wants you to see just 4 Jews who are walking in some abstract space, but these are Hungarian Jews heading toward their own doom. Here, and while we may not be recognising the Resistance of 1 Little Old Hungarian Jewish Lady, seemingly taking her charges away from what would have possibly condemned a further 1, 2, 3, and even 4 Hungarian Mothers, the ripple effect is distraught in the most vicious of ways.
“..Where ..Jews were left to themselves ..in Poland ..most terrible misery and decay prevailed. ..In Poland this state of affairs has been fundamentally cleared up. If ..Jews there did not want to work ..they were shot. If they could not work ..they had to succumb. ..This was not cruel ..even innocent creatures ..have to be killed ..so that no harm is caused by them. Why should ..beasts who wanted to bring us Bolshevism be spared more.” Adolf Hitler.
We are forced to perceive it, and that Hungarian Mother’s, who were persuaded to save some of what could be left of Hungarian Jewry, let go of all that they had loved for the entirety of Their Child’s lives. And yes, there is the possibility that this tiny Hungarian Jewish Lady, her name now lost to History, stood braver than a World ever could. Recognise in the Infant Baby under her Arm, as she was no doubt consoling the other 3 Jewish Children toward the Showers, that life was made unfit for living? So the Hungarian Jews here are being denied the fuller account of what detached them all from life, and this is in some vague attempt to lessen a Worlds more total and moral guilt.As Hitler and his hate filled cohort of minions forwarded the very killing spree North, and into the East, all of which defined The Final Solution of The Jewish Question, we must appreciate the litany of greed which drove the parallel lust for monetary gain.
“..For ..Fuhrer and ..Country. ..following killed in action during destruction of Jews ..in ..former Jewish quarter ..Warsaw. ..Polish Police Sergeant Julian Zielinski ..carrying out his duties. ..Units used ..Polish Police 4 officers 363 men. Polish Fire Brigade 166 men. ..Officers ..men of ..Police ..proved themselves. ..Polish police ..authorised to turn over to any Polish policeman ..one third of ..Jews cash ..property. ..Polish population ..welcomed ..measures taken against ..Jews.” Jurgen Stroop.
While the Slaughter of the Jews of Europe was moved perpetually forward, the grasp of Wealth, Goods, Lands and Properties, once owned by those Jews who are no longer living, didn’t lag too far behind. But if we are to consider this in conjunction with the atrocity of the Slaughter itself, and if we were ever to measure the physical loss of these Jewish People, and in grubby monetary terms, how would we ever approach such an immense loss. Would that singular amount be measured or considerate if $1 Billion was the weight of each and every one of those losses. If indeed that is to be the measure of a Jewish Person’s salutary worth in each case, how then is Restitution to be assessed. Thus assessed, and what we seek to explore for these 6,000,000 Slaughtered Jews, and what would there ever be considered an adequate accounting given to such a tragic memory.
“..In times of distress a wave of public anger has usually arisen against ..Jew ..masses have taken ..law into their own hands ..they have seized Jewish property and ruined ..Jew in their urge to protect themselves against what they consider to be a scourge of God. Having come to know ..Jew intimately through ..course of centuries ..in times of distress they looked upon his presence among them as a public danger comparable only to ..plague.” Adolf Hitler.
Could such a Jewish loss ever be merely weighed in terms of a financial value. Would this assume such terms as $6,000,000,000,000,000 in fully equating to such a loss, becoming ever acceptable. In knowing that nothing commensurate with monetary assessment could Ever console the depth of Jewish loss to Humanity, we propose it as a simple measure of what Hitler sought to also take from Jewish lives, for living. Clearly, and that we have no comprehension of, and absolutely no finite assessment which will ever deliver as complete an accuracy that is deserving of the memory for each and every Jew destroyed here and elsewhere during The Holocaust period.
“..On ..third day after ..execution ..driven to ..extermination site again. On arrival we saw a woman sitting by a bush ..having obviously survived ..execution. This woman was shot by an SD man who joined us. Furthermore ..we saw a person waving to us with their hand out of a pile of corpses. I don’t know if it was a man or a woman. I assume that this person was shot by ..SD man but I did not see it. That day we started to cover ..heaps of corpses. For this purpose civilians were used. In addition some walls of ..ravine were partially blown up. After that day I did not return to ..execution site. For ..next several days we were busy smoothing banknotes from ..property of ..shot Jews. I estimate that it must have amounted to millions. I don’t know what ..money was used for. It was packed in bags ..and sent away.” Anton Heidborn.
So as we reflect upon Hoess, and his abridged and recanting of his former assessments, we are left with this example he places before the tabernacle of History. It is clearly obvious that more than just 1,000,000 Jews were Gassed in Birkenau, and these assessments are utilised to attempt to manage to conceal further those many other Jews Gassed in smaller operations. So as we now reflect upon whether 4,000,000 Jews, 2,500,000 Jews, 1,765,000 Jews, or even 1,000,000 Jews were Gassed within Birkenau, as the museum at Auschwitz would suggest, or do we look at all that Hitler demanded from Jewish existence to see deeper into the abyss to realise the more adequate truth that is to be delivered. We have no right to restrict the Jewish loss to anything other than a more respectful assessment borne by the Evidence’s provided. These, which are continually being discarded cannot be termed of historical value while the betray the very science to which History is assigned. So let us not leave the final word on this piece, delving into a total Jewish Slaughter from within a space such as Birkenau to a man whose knowledge of the Gassing in Birkenau itself, leaves a pretence that he suggests he owed such knowledge to Adolf Eichmann.
“..I ..never knew ..total number ..I have nothing to help me make an estimate. ..I ..remember ..figure in ..larger actions ..repeated to me by Eichmann or his deputies. ..I ..no longer remember ..figures for ..smaller actions ..insignificant in comparison with ..numbers given. I regard ..total of 2,500,000 ..far too high. ..Auschwitz had limits to its destructive possibilities ..Upper Silesia ..Polish territory under German rule 250,000 Germany ..Theresienstadt 100,000 Holland 95,000 Belgium 20,000 France 110,000 Greece 65,000 Hungary 400,000 Slovakia 90,000.” SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Rudolf Hoess.
From Poland there are estimates of those Polish Jews Slaughtered which are ranging from 2,800,000 to 3,550,000 Persons, or as high as 97% of the total Polish Jewish Population of 3,650,000 Polish Jews. Barely 100,000 Polish Jews Survived, and we recognise that the Final Solution of The Jewish Question within Poland did not end with the retreat of the Germans. The Jews had resided within Poland for 837 years and had delivered prosperity, education and the very civilising influences handed over to the many strands of Polish nationhood fought over in all of their years as members of a host nation which disavowed them.
From Ukraine there are estimates of those Ukrainian Jews who were Slaughtered which range from 1,100,000 to 1,500,000 Jewish People, or as many as 60% of those Jews taken from a Jewish Population of some 2,500,000 Persons. We cannot be fully confident that the suggestion that 1,000,000 Ukrainian Jews actually Survived. In much the same way as Russia constrained its assessment to suggest only a national victim was presented, as decapitated by a Fascist invader. Ukrainian Jewry, which had lived amongst the Ukrainian People for some 1,937 years, had eked out a status that was always gifting to Ukrainian society.
From Russia there are estimates of those Russian Jews Slaughtered which are ranging from 1,000,000 to 1,350,000 Persons, or as high as 54% of the total Russian Jewish Population of some 5,000,000. If we are to accept that only some 300,000 Russian Jews managed to Survive, we could easily be discussing the Slaughter of 4,700,000 Russian Jews, completely put to the sword. However, there are such low estimates as to the Jewish Population within Russia, that it is impossible to accept a clear retaliatory assessment. All of which includes Stalin’s own demand to preclude any focus on the Jewish systematic targeting, a concentration that was placed upon the Russian Jews as being targeted solely as Jews. There had been a continuous Jewish presence within Russia for some 887 years.
From Hungary there are estimates of those Hungarian Jew Slaughtered which are ranging from 502,000 to 683,000 Persons, or as high as 75% of the total of Hungarian Jewry which was between 825,000 or 911,000 Hungarian Jews strong, with barely 200,000 Survived all who had been targeted for destruction. The Jews within Hungary had been present there for 1,937 years.
From Romania there are estimates of those Romanian Jews Slaughtered which are ranging from 380,000 to 400,000 Persons, or as high as 52% of the total Romanian Jewish Population. A Romanian Jewish Population which has been assessed as some 760,000 Romanian Jews, and with some 360,000 Romanian Jews who had finally managed to Survive. The Jewish People had resided within Romania for 1,837 years.
From Czechoslovakia there are estimates of those Czechoslovakian Jews Slaughtered ranging from 230,000 to 260,610 or as high as 73% of the total of Czechoslovakian Jewish Population which has been assessed at some 357,000 Czech, Bohemian, Moravian Jews. Barely 44,000 Czech Jews managed to Survive, which would suggest 313,000 did not. The Jews of Czechoslovakia had been living here for 1,037 years.
From Lithuania there are estimates of those Lithuanian Jews Slaughtered which are ranging from 130,000 to 240,000 or as high as 96% of the total of Jews residing within Lithuanian borders, and which has been cautiously assessed as 250,000 Lithuanian, and Refugee Jews. Barely 10,000 Jews of Lithuania managed to Survive, and as the degree to which local involvement in the Slaughter is presented. Jews within Lithuania had lived here for some 637 years.
From Germany there are estimates of those German Jews Slaughtered which are ranging from 134,500 to 228,390 or as high as 69% of the total of Germany’s Jews assessed at 331,000 and with 102,610 German Jews possibly Surviving. The Jewish People had been resident within Germany for 1,649 years.
From Holland there are estimates of those Dutch Jews Slaughtered and which are ranging from 100,000 to 102,200 or as high as 73% of the total Jewish Population within Holland, which has been assessed as 140,000 Dutch Jews, and with just 37,800 Dutch Jews Surviving. There has been a Jewish presence within Holland for 837 years.
From France there are estimates of those French Jews who were Slaughtered which are ranging from 72,900 to 87,500 and while France had a hand in ensuring these Jews didn’t Survive, we are looking at 25% of the total French Jewish Population, which has been assessed as 350,000 French Jews being destroyed. And while 242,500 French Jews Survived, we recognise that the Jews of France had lived amongst their counterparts for 1,967 years.
From Latvia there are estimates of those Latvian Jews who were Slaughtered which are ranging from 70,000 to 74,100 or as high as 78% of the total of 95,000 Latvian Jews resident within their Lands. The degree to which local involvement is concerned, as we ascertain that 20,900 Jews of Latvia Survived after 437 years of a Jewish presence in the Country.
From Yugoslavia there are estimates of those Yugoslavian Jews Slaughtered which are ranging from 56,200 to 67,228 or 82% of somewhere near 78,000 Jews of Yugoslavia, while barely 10,772 Yugoslavian Jews managed to Survive. There has been a Jewish presence within Yugoslavia for 1,037 years.
From Austria there are estimates of those Austrian Jews who were Slaughtered which are ranging from 50,000 to 67,200 or as high as 35% of the total of Austrian Jews resident in their homes and assessed as 192,000 Jews of Austria. With only 7,000 Austrian Jews managing to Survive, it is perfectly clear that many Austrian Jews took heed of Hitler’s growing warnings and had escaped the Country. Austria’s Jews had resided within the Community here for 1,067 years.
From Greece there are estimates of those Greek Jews who were Slaughtered which are ranging between 58,800 to 67,000 and as many as 91% from out of a combined total of 80,000 Greek Jews wholly decimated. With barely 13,000 Greek Jews having Survived, the Jews, who were established in Greece long before any other nation, having persisted here for 2,270 years.
“..Jewish persecution ..taken ..most inhuman ..merciless ..deeply shaming forms ..for which no compensation can be adequate. ..Anyone who believed ..he could enrich himself with Jewish property will discover ..it ..a disgrace for any German to seek such dishonestly acquired property.” Carl Goerdeler.
From Belgium there are estimates of those Belgian Jews who are Slaughtered and are ranging from 24,387 to 28,900 or 44% out of a total of 65,700 with some 36,800 Belgian Jews managing to Survive. The Jews of Belgium had been a Community in the Country for 737 years.
From Italy there are estimates of those Italian Jews who were Slaughtered and which are ranging from 7,680 to 8,000 Italian Jews or 17% out of a total of 44,500 Italian Jews with 36,500 Italian Jews having Survived. The Jews had lived in Italy for 2,137 years.
From Estonia there are estimates of those Estonian Jews who were Slaughtered and are ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 Estonian Jews or 44% from some 4,500 of Estonia’s Estimated Jewish Population. 2,500 Estonian Jews are estimated to have Survived from this Baltic State. The degree to which local involvement ensured Estonia’s Jewish Population had been destroyed after having lived in the Country for 637 years.
From Norway there are estimates of those Norwegian Jews who were Slaughtered which are ranging from 758 to 762 or 45% from out of a population of some 1,700 Jewish Persons with 938 Norwegian Jews Surviving having lived here for 119 years.
From Denmark there are estimates of those Danish Jews who were actually Slaughtered and ranging from 52 to 116 or 2% from a Jewish Population of 7,800. Due to its Righteous Nature, some 7,684 Danish Jews Survived with the smuggling of Danish Jewry into apparent safety, within Sweden. This is an epic European story in humanitarian telling for a Righteous Nation, as Denmark had a Jewish presence which has lasted 347 years.
From Finland there is an assessment of those Finnish Jews who were Slaughtered, as are represented by these some 11 Finnish Jews who were Murdered. While 7 of these Jews were immediately Murdered, and these are Henrich Huppert, Kurt Huppert, Frans Olof Kollman, The Mother of Frans Kollman, Georg Kollman, Hans Robert Martin Korn, and Hans Eduard Szubilski, 4 other Jews were also victimised. While it is true that some 2,000 Jews Survived in Finland, many of these were Jewish Refugees escaping Hitler’s dragnet for them. It is clear that the Jewish People had lived in Finland for some 300 years.
From Ireland there is an assessment of those Irish Jews who were actually Slaughtered, represented by these some 9 Irish Jews taken from an Irish Jewish Population of as many as 4,800 Jewish Irish People. The Jewish Murdered are Adam Edinger, Anna Edinger, Frida Edinger, Mordechai Hertzog, Lina Merker, Annie Rohrbach, Afraim Saks, Jeanne Saks, and Philip Watchman. These Jewish losses represent some 1 hundredth of nearly 2% of the Irish Jewish Community at the time, all of whom had descended from a Jewish presence that had resided in the Country for 225 years.
From Bulgaria there is an assessment of those Bulgarian Jews who were saved and this is represented by these some 0 Jews who were not allowed to be taken for Slaughtering. The Jewish Community had consisted of some 50,000 Jews, and as such we suggest that some 50,000 Bulgarian Jews finally Survived. The Jewish Community in Bulgaria was long established, lasting some 1,937 years.
From Albania there is an assessment of those Albanian Jews wholly saved, and this actually is represented by some 0 Jews who were secretly hidden from Nazi aggression, and saved from the Slaughter. There had been a steady Jewish population of just over 200 Jewish Citizens, rising from 2,000 to 4,000, and even 5,000 as refugees escaped from Hitler crossed the Albanian borders. The Jews in Albania had remained there for some 2,180 years. All of Albanians Jews managed to Survive.
From All of Europe there are estimates of those European Jews who were Slaughtered, and these are ranging from 6,000,000 to 8,717,826 of European Jewry, or 77% from some 12,293,300 of Europe’s Estimated Jewish Population. If we then assess that 3,575,474 of these European Jews actually managed to Survive, we discover the erroneous effort placed upon the Jewish losses we have encountered. The degree to which local involvement ensured Europe’s Jewish Population was varied, all of which so savagely depleted the Jewish presence within a civilised society, and all depended upon the level to which non-Jewish Europeans stooped in having assisted in destroying a Jewish Community that had lived on the Continent for more than 2,270 years.
“..In order that we should succeed in our war against ..Jews ..it was essential that we should take possession of Poland ..since here ..in Poland ..there was a natural fertility of ..Jewish people. It existed only here and in no other place. Following ..extermination of ..Jews of Poland ..from ..point of view of ..essence of their blood ..future of ..Jewish people had been totally done away with ..for only here were there Jews who had children.” Hans Frank.
