If you are sure you'll "have plenty to criticize" why not just honesty write what you feel is the true story and have done with it? Since you are the one who advocates belief in Exterminationism, you should present your own views. It is hard for a non-believer to do.

This is on top of storage of all the coal, the undressing room, and the alleged gaschamber. The Revolt of the Sondercommandos The whole story of the "Revolt of the Sondercommandos" is entirely a legend. None of the Cremas show any sign of having been the site of gun battles. There are no bullet marks on any of the ruins of Crema II or III nor on any of the bricks that remain from the walls of Crema IV or V. Since the legend (or legends) have Sondercommando revolts occuring at different Cremas at different times and in different degrees of intensity of fighting it's rather hard to disprove all the legends at once. However, the stories of prolonged gun battles at Crema II or III are not supported by any physical signs on the existing ruins.

Try dealing with some REAL arguments such as: 1. the fact that Leichenkeller 1 was built WITHOUT any vent holes at all. 2. Or that there are no holes on the roof that could have been vent holes. 3. Or that the so-called "porous pillars" could not have been attached at the roof level. 4. Or that there were no bars or locks on either Crema II or III to confine the "Sondercommandos". In short, j. Morris, please do something better than create strawmen and then natter about it. You have not dealt with the evidence on the ground at Birkenau nor any or the serious questions the evidence raises. Instead, you have dishonestly and falsely mistated what I and other Revisionists have written and prevaricated and dissembled about what is actually at the scene of the crime.

Of course, the roof of Leichenkeller 1 Crema II is a slab of concrete but I don't think John Morris is blind (and wouldn't comment on it if he were). I know he makes stupid arguments and strongly suspect that he is a somewhat silly twit. Although he came up with a glimmer of intelligence when he raised some questions about the positioning of the vent holes in aerial photographs his analytic abilities have faded like aurora borealis in summer.

Actually, the reason you have stumbled off the thread is because you have nothing much to add to the discussion. If you had anything GREAT to say I doubt you could restrain yourself from posting it. The last intelligent thing you put up was about anomalies with the positions of the marks on the roof of Leichenkeller 1 in the aerial photographs. Other than that I am impressed and irritated by your LACK of knowledge about basic facts regarding the so-called gaschambers and the silly arguments you come up with. Look at the 5 reasons you gave for why the Germans built Leichenkeller 1 Crema II WITHOUT the vent holes necessary to use the room as a gaschamber. It should be of interest to you that the Germans did not plan on building a gaschamber as of 1/15/43 but it seems to be a fact which you cannot deal with. Therefore you ignore it. >There is no point in attempting >to debate with liars. What I have posted relates to the physical evidence at the "scene of the crime" and how that evidence effects the traditional story of mass gassings. For the most part all I have been doing is repeating that "there is physical evidence to be examined, there is physical evidence to be examined!!" like a retrospective Cassandra. The slab roof is there. Guardtowers are there. Enough ruins are there to learn something from. These are observable facts; not a debate. While there are grounds to debate, the attempt of the Nizkor group to deny the existence of the existing evidence is both irritating and stupid. Anyone who visits the site can see, instantly, the state of the evidence. To me, Nizkor comes across as little more than obfuscationists. It is also ironic since you guys try to label Revisionist as "deniers". Anyway, don't take it so personally that I have called you a craven, prevaricating, Exterminationist dog (and from Ponoka at that). I can't pretend to respect you until you come up with a few intelligent arguments. Anyway you are supposed to be in this thing for the Truth. Try dealing with some real questions: 1. the fact that Leichenkeller 1 was built WITHOUT any vent holes at all. 2. Or that there are no holes on the roof that could have been vent holes. 3. Or that the so-called "porous pillars" could not have been attached at the roof level. 4. Or that there were no bars or locks on either Crema II or III to confine the "Sondercommandos".

The security was odd, but it was perhaps more economical for such a surface. You have the towers around, and in the Lagerstrasse, the Hauptstrasse also; and around the camp, external squadrons that went to the point required when something was wrong. The tower you see for the K2 is at a good place; the blind view is behind, near the south, and this place is covered from the Hauptstrasse. So, when troubles occured with the K4 (stones throwes from the selection aso), the internal squadrons went to the K4, and for the security some SS to the K2 and K3. At this time, the SK seeing these few SS coming cutted the fence with electrical pliers they had since six monthes (as explosives) and ran toward the NW. The SS here were totally upset when they get the explosives. After some miles the escaping prisoners were joined, and killed after a short time (they had one or two guns). A total of three SS were killed. During this time, the SK in the courtyard of the K4 were simply killed with machine-guns. The total is I believe (I didn't give a look, it's an indication) 350 deathes. Keep in mind that the SK were during a long time in barracks, btw the 13 of B2. It was only near the end that the SK slept in the second floor of K2 and K3, or dressroom and coal bunkers of K4 and K5. I don't think as you: this measure enforced the security, since the SK could less easily communicate with the another inmates to prepare an uprising (the example of the explosives from Auschwitz 3..). >From 100644.317@CompuServe.COM Fri Oct 4 15:42:51 1996 Return-Path: 100644.317@CompuServe.COM Received: from arl-img-5.compuserve.com (arl-img-5.compuserve.com [149.174.217.135]) by emin02.mail.aol.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id PAA14381 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 15:42:50 -0400 Received: by arl-img-5.compuserve.com (8.6.10/5.950515) id PAA26753; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 15:42:47 -0400 Date: 04 Oct 96 15:35:05 EDT From: Miloslav Bilik <100644.317@CompuServe.COM> To: "INTERNET:Ceacaa@aol.com" Subject: Re: Pellets, shower, porous pillars...

The physical remains of the so-called gaschambers still exists but, thanks to M. Pressac, we also know that almost the entire record of the construction and operation of the Cremas still exists too. From the record and from photographs taken during the construction process, we know that Crema II and III were not designed or built as "gaschambers" but, according to Pressac, were modified sometime after January 1943 or even later. In the records is a picture of the concrete slab of the roof of Leichenkeller 1 Crema II. See Pressac Technique at pg. 373 Document 34. The roof was built WITHOUT the vent holes. These vent holes were a vital part of the story that Zyclon was dropped through the holes. According to Standard Holocaust Mythology (SHM) the Germans had a gas chamber in use in the summer and winter of 1942- the so-called "Bunker". This building could (SHM) be used to kill 2,800 people at a time- the same number as Crema II. The "Bunker" according to the story was convenient, isolated, right next to burning pits. The question becomes, why abandon its use and go to the vast expense (millions of marks) of converting Crema II into another gaschamber? This is particularly true when Exterminationist stories about reducing the size of the Crema II gaschamber are considered. Any answers out there from Exterminationists?

Actually, I am incorrect. The figure per crematoria is closer to 1,000,000 Reichmarks for total construction. Pressac gives a base figure for Crema II of 646,000 RM with extras for chimneys, architectural work, etc. The Huta contract was 116,000 RM with various subcontractors receiving more. The chimney was built by Messrs Robert Koehler; Topf & Sons got 110,000 Rm per crematorium. For the record, we should note that there were other "additions" to convert the Leichenkeller into a gaschamber, a ventilation system being the biggest one. However, the basic point remains-prior to the construction of Crema II and III, SHM has people being killed in groups of 2,500 in the "Bunker" and then cremated the bodies in pits. PIT CREMATION The same cremation system that allegedly worked so well at Treblinka (900,000) Sobibor (250,000), Baba Yar. In fact, the "pit" method was supposedly never abandoned at Birkenau but was used to cremate a large majority of the bodies there too. -so- Why spend approximately 2,000,000 RM on a system which only increased the cremation capacity slightly (25%) over a proven Treblinka style pitcremation method ? >I recall you posted that you used to be a construction >worker (no offense intended - you did post this, right, >unless I'm confusing you with someone else?).

The Exterminationists are rather like the defenders of the Ptolmeic system in 1500 A.D. Most of them firmly believe in their own position and they cannot conceive of anyone honestly holding a contrary view. This is also my explaination of how Exterminationists disregard the clear evidence that I find so convincing. There is a saying in French is, "Une poule qui a trouve' un couteau", a chicken that found a knife. In reading Pressac's Technique... I am impressed time and time again how Mr. Pressac ignores (what seems to me) powerful evidence that there could NOT have been gas chambers at Leichenkeller 1 of the Cremas; solid physical evidence such as the lack of vent holes or the impossiblity that "porous pillars" were attached to the roof or floor. Pressac seems more than content with what he calls "criminal traces", usually little "slips" in the masses of documents that the Germans left.

The point is NOT moot. If you believe in the pit cremation stories then there is NO NEED for the Crematorium. Why not just dig another pit? If you believe that 100% of the bodies at Treblinka were "pit cremated" , and 100% of the bodies at Sobibor were pit cremated, and 75% of the bodies at Birkenau were pit cremated; then the building of 2,000,000 RM buildings MAKES NO SENSE.

Mr. Keren, I AGREE WITH YOU 100% Of course, your view raises a serious question, if gas chambers "are quite easy to build" then why ship people all the way from Greece to Birkenau to kill them? Especially during a war when rail usage is at a premium? Why not just have a barn somewhere in Serbia to bump off all the nonworking "underhumans" in the Balkans? Save the cost and trouble of transporting a Million people across the Continent? The fact that gaschambers are easy to build and the fact that the Germans shipped people clear across Europe is inconsistant. >You don't even have to install >a ventilation system, if the gas chamber is above >ground level and you have, say, two or three doors to >allow faster natural ventilation. Mr. Keren, AGAIN I AGREE WITH YOU 100% Of course, your view raises a serious question, to wit, Why then did the Germans build the alleged gas chambers UNDERGROUND? This made an expensive ventilation system necessary and lead to a longer ventilation time. Why not a nice big shed with two or three doors?

No, Revisionists don't deny that the Kremas were built. The fact that the Kremas WERE built is a significant Revisionist argument. The building of the Kremas makes no sense in the standard Holocaust story. Remember that Kremas II and III at Birkenau were built in March and June of 1943 respectively. This was after over 1.2 million people were murdered and cremated in pits at Treblinka, Sobibor and Belzec (SHM). This had been done very efficiently in a matter of about 12 months and all done cheaply with "pit cremation". Also remember that "pit cremation" was supposed to have been used at Auschwitz/Birkenau both prior to and after the construction of the Kremas. The question becomes, why spend two million Reichmarks and six months on building two Crematorium which only increases your "capacity" 25% when it is possible to reach the same end immediately (and for free) by digging another pit? Further, why give up a proven reliable system for the the problems of a system that had various complexities and has subject to breakdowns such as the burn out of the chimneys at Kremas IV and V. The construction of Kremas II and III is a significant anomaly in the Holocaust story. The building of the Kremas only makes sense in a Revisionist context, ie. that Birkenau was a place of mass confinement but not mass murder. In that context the capcity of the two Krema is in-line with the total need of the Auschwitz Birkenau complex Revisionists claim that Kremas II and III were built as a result of the typhus outbreaks in Auschwitz/Birkenau in the summers of 1941 and 1942. In thoses outbreaks two or three thousand inmates died each week. Further, the Kremas were designed to deal with the massive increase in inmates planned for Birkenau. The "Mexico" project in the north area of the camp would have more than doubled the housing in the camp to approximately 120,000 persons. The projected capacity of Kremas II and III was in line with the projected increase in camp population but at a slightly higher muffle to prisoner ratio than camps in Germany due to the experience of typhus outbreaks.

Jamie, not only did you NOT answer the original question-Why ship people all the way across Europe to kill them in Poland?, but you raise a second question, "Why ship people all across Europe, set up expensive camps, require hundreds of guards if you are going to work the "slaves" to death doing simple manual labor in a matter of weeks? The value of a few weeks of slave labor is clearly outweighed by the costs of camps, guards, transportation, administration. As a comparison the cost of guarding and feeding one prisoner in the US Federal system is approximately $25,000 per year. Chain gangs and prision labor have never paid its way. >> Why not just have a barn somewhere in >> Serbia to bump off all the nonworking "underhumans" >> in the Balkans?

Actually, you didn't answer the first question as will be shown below. >The problem is not killing a few hundred thousand people; So we all agree!! >the problem >is doing it secretly, and then disposing of their bodies. Exactly!! So combining a labor camp with a death camp does NOT make sense. Why have 60,000 witnesses to murder and body disposal, especially husbands mothers, etc. particularly concerned with their loved ones who just disappeared "up the ramp"?? Does not make any sense. No. The obvious thing to do would be to seperate the workers from the non-workers at the "collection site". Only transport the workers across Europe. >To do it secretly requires a base staffed by >military men, or a >concentration camp. Jamie, to be blunt, I am shocked by your ignorance of basic Holocaust history. Do you know how big the German "staff" at Treblinka was?, or at Sobibor?, or at Belzec? Ever hear about the Einsatzgruppen? Or about Baba Yar? Do you actually claim that a killing facility had to be a huge operation like Auschwitz? You are wrong, wrong, wrong.

Jamie, to be blunt, I am shocked by your ignorance of basic Holocaust history. Do you know how bodies were disposed of at Treblinka ?, or at Sobibor?, or at Belzec? Or at Baba Yar? These "disposals" didn't cost anything but the time of the guards. The Kremas at Birkenau cost millions. Not very "efficient". My questions may be "kindergarten level" but it looks like you flunked kindergarten. Tommorow we will look at your "defense" of underground gas chambers.

But I fail to see the point of seperating the cost of the furnaces from the cost of the chimney needed to have the furaces or the cost of the building needed to support the chimneys. All in all the total figure was around 2,000,000 RM. >The gas chambers had to be built anyway, no >matter how >the corpses were to be burned. My goodness, you are forgetting Bunker 2? (subsequently renamed the "White House"). The Germans already HAD a gas chamber, See Pressac pg. 171 of Technique. This structure could dispach 2,500 people at a time. More than Leichkeller 1 could. And remember that Leichenkeller 1 was supposed to have been divided in half (SHM) to accomodate smaller groups. And building a gas chamber is one thing- building it UNDERGROUND is an very expensive, illogical, different thing. Consider excavation problems, drainage and waterproofing problems, and, as you correctly mentioned, ventilation problems. Also think of all the problems of tricking people into going down underground to take a shower. No, the slightest consideration will show that you were right in your last posts, an above ground structure with two or three doors would have been simple and easy to build (or built?) ># In that context the capcity of the two Krema is in-line ># with the total need of the Auschwitz Birkenau complex >No, it's about 20 times higher. Where did you get these figures? Pressac makes it 4.5 times higher than the other camp ratios but he includes Crema I (abandoned) Kremas IV and V (which were also abandoned) to increase the number of muffles (retorts) and does not count any of the planned increases in camp population to 120,000 persons. ># Revisionists claim that Kremas II and III were ># built as a result of the typhus outbreaks in ># Auschwitz/Birkenau in the summers of 1941 and 1942. >This is ridiculous.

I was a fireman for some time. We didn't want fires. We tried to prevent fires but we kept our LaFrance and VanPelt ready. The evidence shows massive deaths in the camps from typhus but there is also significant evidence that the Germans took many steps to combat typhus and other diseases. I have been into the Zentral Sauna building at Birkenau. It is a very impressive structure, entirely built to control contagion. From shaving inmates heads to posting the famous Eine Laus Dein Tod! poster around the Camp vigourous efforts were made to combat Typhus. Pressac, himself, notes that over 95% of Zyclon-B was destined for delousing pg. 15 of Technique. I would venture to guess that the Germans spent many times more on the Zentral Sauna building, the camp hospital, and on Typhus control than they did on the admittedly expensive Krema II and III.

They are herded out of the dark car into the bright light by shouting soldiers and barking dogs. Many of them can barely walk now, they are so exhausted and dehydrated. Perhaps a gun is fired to hurry them along. Perhaps someone is shot for dawdling. Or perhaps they whole group moves out without incident. Okay with that so far? They're in a strange place. Nothing is familiar. They are herded along, not kindly, by the soldiers. They are told to go "over there" and take off their clothing. It might be summer. It might be winter and freezing. But there are men and guns and dogs and children crying and old people praying, and they are tired, and hungry, and dirty, and disoriented. Their clothes are soiled. So they do what they're told. Okay with that so far? Maybe they're told they're going to a shower. Shower! What a relief! Finally they can get clean, feel water on their bodies again. Do they believe it? Does it matter? Any hope, no matter how feeble, is worth clinging to. Okay with that so far? Perhaps one man objects. "That's not a shower, it's in a basement," he shouts. The parents may shout him down; they don't want to frighten their children. Or perhaps a soldier silences him with a gun butt or a bullet. Either way, no one WANTS to believe him. Okay with that so far? So these hungry, tired, frightened, filthy, dehydrated, scared, resigned, disoriented people go where they are told by the men with the bright uniforms and polished boots and guns and barking dogs. They hold their children in their arms, and they go to the showers they're told to go to. And they go to their deaths. >What part of this don't you understand? >Sara Your description implies that there was no need for deception, security or crowd control measures. My belief is that people, when deeply afraid, will often freeze or could stampede. But, the psycology of crowds aside, I am interested how you explain the following descriptions: "All these people were unaware of the fate awaiting them. They were merely upset at being separated... To render their welcome more pleasant at this time- June, July 1944- an orchestra composed of internees- all young and pretty girls, dressed in little white blouses and navy blue skirts- played, during the selection... gay tunes such as "the Merry Widow. " Martin Gilbert The Holocaust at pg 686 quoting Claude Vaillant Couturier. -and- "To the captivating tunes played played by the internee musicians...the cortege of the condmned wound toward Birkenau. Fortunately, they were unconscious of the fate that awaited them...The S.S. TROUPS ESCORTING THEM WERE IRREPROACHABLY 'CORRECT' ... the newly arrived had to be handled properly to the very end...The 'bath Director', in a white blouse, distributed towels and soap." emphasis added. Dr. Olga Lengyel Five Chimneys The Ziff-Davis Publishing Co. London (1984) at page 84. How do you reconcile your description which emphasizes force with the actual survivor eyewitness accounts which clearly state that the victims were tricked into the gaschamber?

However, the ventilation time and possible breakdown problems also seem to be significant disadvantages of a ventilation system and reasons not to make the gaschamber underground. There would also be some logistic problems of herding people underground and then getting the bodies back up. ># Why not a nice big shed with two or three doors? >It's very possible that Pressac is right, and that the >gas chambers of Kremas II and III were planned as >morgues, >and then converted to gas chambers. But, again, your >point is moot, because they *did* build them. What >for, do you suggest, did they built them? The Leichenkellers 1 were built to be and were used as Leichenkellers. I will toss out my theory. Maybe even John Morris will be lured back to take a shot at it. The Leichenkeller 1s were built to tie in with the operating schedule of the crematorium. I do not think that it is possible to continuously run the crematoria furnice without burning out the chimney or damaging the ovens. Pressac mention this as happening to K.IV and K.V. The operating cycle of the Kremas. I believe that a furnice, once fired-up, takes an hour to warm to operating temperature, and then can operate for a period of several hours (I guess 12-14) without damaging the interior of the chimney or the muffles. At that point, it has to be shut down for a period of time to cool off, perhaps two or three days. The cooling is not the real problem but cracking due to too rapid a cooling. In K.II and K.III there may have been some rotation among the 5 furnices however, sooner or later, the whole furnice had to have been shut down and allowed to cool and be serviced. If the furnices was not run continously, the bodies had to be collected until the furnice was fired-up. Even the local crematoria "collects" the bodies for a day or two before "firing up". And the local plant must deal with the constraints of dealing with the public. In its operatation period of 12 hours K.II could probably have dealt with around 1,200 bodies. T his would tie in with the capacity of the Leichenkeller. Why UNDERGROUND. Since a body might wait several days before 1,200 bodies were collected, it would have to be stored in a cool place, UNDERGROUND. This explains why the trouble was taken to insulate the Leichenkeller and put weather stripping on the door. A cool place was needed until the furnice was ready to be fired up. Why SMOKE Many survivors remember smoke and then the smell of cremation. However, Crematoria do NOT smoke when running. However the Crema would smoke while heating up, until the temperature rose enough to prevent smoke. This would be just prior to cremations.

This seems like a posibility. However part of the Treblinka story is that the corpses, once started and with old ladies on the bottom, burned on their own, ie. little fuel actually had to be gathered. I do not know if this is "official" Holocaust history or not. or what is the offical position on how the 900,000 bodies at Treblinka were burned. Clearly, if Treblinka was "efficient" or cheap (just using camp labor) then that should have been the method used at Auschwitz two years later. # Of course, your view raises a serious question, # if gas chambers "are quite easy to build" then # why ship people all the way from Greece to # Birkenau to kill them? >To the best of my knowledge, the answer is very simple: >if people know they are being led to their death, they >may revolt.

In the Ardennes, perhaps? That would save 1,200 kms. of travel and keep trains full of people crossing the Reich. Actually, the situation of the 75,000 deported French Jews is somewhat unique.

Another reason to keep from transporting people too far. Actually British and then Soviet radio propaganda (or news) started mentioning Nazi deathcamps by summer of 1942. The history of these reports is worth some thesis by a grad student. You ask a fair question-what the Leichenkellers were for? I will try to answer that tommorow. It is an important question.

Gee, Jamie, do you think that "Rudolf" ever heard about a heater? Cost about 15 bucks, much cheaper than trying to bury a whole room underground. Or are you refering to the reindeer? >* The walls couldn't be pushed over or kicked >down from the inside. Gee, Jamie, the answer to this fairytale is in another fairytail, The Three Little Pigs. In all the "above ground" gas chambers at Treblinka, Sobibor, at Auschwitz Main Camp, at the Bunker, or Krema IV or V, did you ever hear of a story of the walls being "pushed over or kicked down". No. Why don't you make-up a real winner like, "It was clearly built underground to withstand tornados" >* A solid concrete room deadened the screams >of the dying, aiding the > secrecy effort a bit more. Maybe, but the question was, "why bury it underground?" If secrecy was so important as to require a "bit more" effort why were Krema II and III right in plain view from much of the camp, with the camp soccer field next to K. III and living units next to K. I? If fact, why was the alleged extermination effort done with 60,000 witnesses? If Ross Vicksell didn't bother to reply to you it was because you didn't post that was worth responding to.

That's true. But since we agree that a gaschamber is easy to built, why not one in France, one in Serbia, one in Vilna. Save shipping that other three million 1,000 KM.s. That was the question. Please try an answer. >> but you raise a second question, >> "Why ship people all across Europe, set up >> expensive camps, require hundreds of guards >> if you are going to work the "slaves" to death >> doing simple manual labor in a matter of weeks? >> The value of a few weeks of slave labor is >> clearly outweighed by the costs of camps, >> guards, transportation, administration. >I see, so you have evidence that the Nazis >undertook an economic >analysis, found that it would be inefficient to >have slave labor, and >then went ahead and did it anyway? >No, of course not. >Have you done an economic analysis yourself, >comparing the "bottom line" >as the Nazis might have seen it?

No, but I do expect you to be able to add. If you do, you can quickly see that the idea of transporting somebody 1,000 Km.s to work him to death in 6 weeks does not make economic sense.

There is a conflict between the story of easy to build extermination camps and the costs of creating a huge guarded city like Auschwitz/Birkenau. There is a conflict between value of 6 weeks forced labor and the immense cost of getting that slave labor. > >the problem > >is doing it secretly, and then disposing of their bodies. > Exactly!!

Earlier you said that 10% of inmates were not killed. If there were 1,000,000 inmates, how many witness does that leave? No, your story is not consistent.
