Deceit & Misrepresentation The World War I
On January 30, 1994, Dan Gannon posted an article to UseNet's
newsgroup alt.revisionism that asserted that the Jews had claimed
that there was a Holocaust during World War I:
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBORS.
Mr. Gannon would do well to heed his own advice, as we will
see...
Though few remember, there was supposedly a Jewish
"Holocaust" during World War I, in addition to the Jewish
"Holocaust" of World War II! Not only that, but the
number of victims was claimed, both times, to have been SIX
MILLION!!! The "evil" Germans supposedly did it TWICE!
Actually, they never even did it ONCE.
The FIRST alleged "Holocaust of Six Million Jews at the
hands of the Germans" has been forgotten, but the SECOND
alleged "Holocaust of Six Million Jews at the hands of the
Germans" is today a highly-promoted OFFICIAL TRUTH.
The reason the first "Holocaust" story was discarded
is, I think, related to the saying, "If at first you don't succeed,
destroy all evidence that you tried." They failed to convince
everyone the first time, so they quit publicizing it. Then they
tried the same stunt again later, after World War II, and now
they've got most people believing it! But that is changing.
SIX MILLION JEWS exterminated during World War I, too?!?
In a major speech in October, 1919, in Albany, New York, Martin
Glenn (a past governor of New York) reported at length to a rapt
audience on "the extermination of 6 million Jews and the
holocaust of European Jewry" during "the Great War"
(i.e., World War I).
This now rarely-remembered claim was publicized in, among others,
the October 31, 1919, issue of the American Hebrew Magazine,
published by the American Jewish Committee.

First of all, Martin's last name is Glynn. Let's assume that to be
a typographical error or a mistranscription.
Secondly, there is
no indication within the article itself
that the text originated as a speech.
It is important to note that
nowhere in the text
is any mention made of "the extermination of 6 million Jews and
the holocaust of European Jewry during the Great War".
In fact,
there is no mention made of "extermination"
at all.
The article is instead about the threat of starvation to about
seven million people (six million Jewish adults and eight hundred
thousand children). Neither is there any mention of "Germans" in the
text, and it would be a far stretch to even claim that it was
implied; no mention is even made of the war.
Except for the fact that the word "Holocaust" is used in
the original article, Mr. Gannon has completely misrepresented the
original text. (Even in this instance, the original text is at variance
with Mr. Gannon's claims, as it warns about a "threatened
holocaust," and does not make any reference to one actually having
occurred.)
Recently, the
Institute for Historical Review
has also seen fit to present this article from American Hebrew Magazine.
