The corpses themselves are the fuel. Hold it, hold it. The Treblinka pyres were self-sustaining (SHM). Read Pressac to learn that one needed coke to run the Birkenau Krema.

No, the "Holocaust" is not an event but the name given to many millions of events. Many, if not most, of the alleged events are real, to wit, the passage of the Nuremberg Laws or the establishment of Birkenau Camp. Many "events are not real, to wit, killing people by steam or factories making soap out of humans. You and I disagree on whether there was a gas chamber at Leichenkeller 1 of Krema II at Birkenau. The physical evidence at the scene of the crime makes impossible the standard story of a gas chamber. That horse has been ridden enough until we can post pictures that even you Hoaxters can't deny. The points re. costs of building the Kremas vs. Treblinka style pyres and point of transporting millions of people across Europe are really logical inconsistancies within the gaschamber story. >The problem with that line of reasoning >is that it did happen; Ipse dixit.

Jamie, you have found a document evidencing the killings at Birkenau? Why, this is important news!!! Call Professor Mayer, he says original documents are rare and hard to find. Please post your documents for us Jamie. In fact, there is NO solid documented evidence. In a modern (carbon paper equiped) bureaucracy the lack of ANY documents relating to the alleged killing of 1,000,000 people at Krema II and III is a true miracle. >which took place in those >showerhead-filled, gas-tight-door-equipped rooms. Gas-tight door? My refrigerator has a "gas-tight" door on it. The Leichenkeller was a leichenkeller; it had to be kept cool.

The key is your assumption "whichever Krema was on-line that day to incinerate the entire daily batch of prisoners who died from "natural" cause. IT WAS NOT PLANNED TO KEEP ONE OF THE KREMAS "ON-LINE" EVERY DAY. If that were planned they would NOT have needed the Leichenkeller. The Leichenkeller were built underground to serve as a cool place to store bodies: (they make a bad gaschamber but a good morgue) They are inherently a contradiction to the idea of continous cremation (and therefore mass extermination). We know that the Leichenkeller were designed and built.

As show above, running a furnace for a week straight will burn it out-the quote has things cooking for 4 to 6 weeks straight. Including periods of time when only Crema V might have been working (summer of '43) The question boils down to how long can a furnace be run continually. The Exterminationists MUST believe in long or continous runs-Revisionists probably expect short runs of two days or less. This argument avoids the basic point: The Leichenkeller are inherently a contradiction to the idea of continous cremation (and therefore mass extermination). >> Even the local crematoria "collects" the bodies >> for a day or two before "firing up".

Actually, you wouldn't want "weather stripping" one would want a better seal, one that is air or gas tight. Good point, Mark.

You have yet to dissapoint! Pressac makes a big issue of the same point. The answer is obvious. Remember your cold Silesian Winters? What would happen to 1,000 bodies that got down to around 10 below 0 C? That's right, they would be very stiff, stick to the floor, hard to undress, check for gold, etc. It is obvious that a morgue should not be too cold. I would guess slightly above freezing, maybe warmer. Of course, call your local morgue and find out the optimum temperature for body storage.

Actually, this is an overstatement. Pressac feels that the operation of Krema V is uncertain but makes a guess that 15,000 were cremated in it in 1943. Thus, there is a two or three month period in 1943 when: Krema I was abandoned, permenently Krema II was out of service, Krema III was not yet complete, Krema IV was abandoned, permenently Krema V may or may not have been working. All this is very odd if your believe in Exterminationist theories. It proves exactly what I have asked before, Why build millions of RM worth of crematoria which break down when you have the proven Treblinka "pit method" to use for free???? In the alternative, if Crematoria were so important, why abandon Krema I and IV? >Krema II suffered from several initial problems: Sure did, was shut down. >> 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. >According to Topf "it is not harmful to operate the >incinerators day and night, if required, since the fire >clay lasts longer when an even oven >temperature is maintained." >(cf. Czech, _Auschwitz Chronicle_, >pp.71-72.) Mark, please read what Pressac writes on page 379 of Technique about the summer of 1943: Kr.II had to be shut down with a damaged chimney, IV was completely out of service and V had its furnaces and/or chimney burnt out. On page 386 Pressac writes: Krematoriam IV had been in operation for one or two weeks... 1. The furnace was starting to crack. In short, exactly what I said. Czech and _Auschwitz Chronicle_ is wrong. Overuse of the Krema (not even continual use but 140 hours straight) will and did destroy the Krema. It did it with THREE of the FOUR Kremas when they first started opperation. Were the Kremas REBUILT???? NOOOO. Krema II and III were just operated according to schedule, ie. shut down regularly. Perhaps "Day and night" does not mean continously here; the emphasis is on even temperature. As I posted, it is a rapid temperature change which everybody knows causes the most damage. The furnaces could be run in various weather if the temperature remained constant but running them for more than a day or two would and did cause failure of the chimney.

Wrong. The chute was built. It didn't show in Bauleitung drawing 2003. The removal was not annotated. Pressac writes in Technique pg. 303, "This drawing was made at a time when work was well advanced...The stairway was built, as can be seen in the ruins, but the corpse chute was also built..."

In both K. II and III the chute was built but may have been closed off by a wooden (removable) wall. Corpses were first brought into Leichenkeller 2, the room nearest the central Camp Road. There they were undressed, checked for valuables, and other wise "processed". They were then carried into Leichenkeller 1 (which served as cool storage). When the furnaces were ignited the corpses were lifted from the basement to the level of the crematoriam by a small elevator (Aufzug). There was no need for a "corpse chute" into L.Keller 1 from the second level. It would have caused problems warming the Leichenkeller during the summer so it may have been blocked. Thus, chute WAS built...just didn't show on a plan. What this all really shows is how desperate Exterminationists are for some sort of evidence of homicidal intent.

You sound like a bureaucrat, "overly significant". Please never get a job with the Department of Defense. "This here missle is not 'overly significant' when compared to the overall cost of an Aircraft Carrier. Get real, Mark! Kremas II and III were immensely expensive; around 2,000,000 RM. That is a WHOLE 2 RM per victim (of Auschwitz) and that is just for disposal. If you think that if even half of the victims (the number) were cremated in pits, or elsewhere then you are up to 4 RMs per victim. The Treblinka method was free.

Mechanical systems break down, fan belts, rotors, widgets. Especially new, untested ones. Nobody would put a new expensive, untested system in when they had a working existing system. D. Keren's suggestion of a barn with two or three doors is a simple logical idea which existed (SHM) at Birkenau prior to December 1942 in the form of "the Bunker". Do you remember that the Bunker could "handle" 2,500 victims at a time? More than Krema II. Why build a SMALLER gaschamber, Mark?

AUSCHWITZ When the Holocaust myth was first forming Auschwitz was thought to have claimed 4,000,000 victims while Treblinka was thought to have claimed 1,000,000. Therefore, part of the myth was that Auschwitz was the "modern, effiecient, industrial" way the clever Germans had designed mass murder and Treblinka was the primative test. Clearly this appeared true if one looked at the respective camp facilities; Auschwitz/Birkenau had big brick and concrete buildings, covered a vast area over 1 km. square: Treblinka was just an acre or two which never had more than a few buildings. Under the new figures of one million or less for Auschwitz vs. one million for Treblinka this old picture does not fit. Further, Treblinka allegedly killed people much faster. If you NOW compare Treblinka with Auschwitz/Birkenau, Treblikna comes out as a faster, more effective, easier to establish and a cheaper method of mass murder. Treblinka and Auschwitz were equally "secure" locations from a secrecy point of view. In fact, since it was small and unconnected with any Buna plants, a Treblinka style location would have less subject to the aerial scrutiny that Monowitz invited. The point here is that, theft of victims personal property aside, Mr. VanAlstine's concept of "economies of scale" does NOT seem to apply to the present day stories of Treblinka and Auschwitz/Birkenau as killing centers. The Treblinka method was clearly more economic.

Mark, This is amazing! Do you realize here that you have the SOLID PROOF that the whole Extermination program was planned in incredible detail (except for the value ofthe victim's bone's). 91 dollars, what astonishing detail. What you have here, Mark, shows that the "highest echelons" not only knew that they were going to transport people from France and people from Thrace but that they knew the value of their personal belongings. Gee, Mark, just out of curiosity What was the value of a French transportee's personal property compared to a Romanian's? I bet alot more! "cost of burning the body" It also shows that the "highest echelons" most have know what facilities were going to be used as gas chambers. Gosh, Mark, just out of curiosity, when did the "highest echelons of the SS" make their findings? Were there any other amazing supporting documents? Do you realize that this incredible "estimate" contradicts the findings of Pressac and Arno Mayer and probably shakes the Mommsen-Broszat school or "structuralist" school too!!

It struck me that Mark and the silly Nazis forgot the real value of robbing people. the value of the houses, farms, cars left behind. $91 (plus bones) is nothing compared to a nice house in Dietva. It varied from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but the possessions left behind by deported Jews was put into trustand was to be converted to "Aryan use" with the proceeds of a allegedly fair market sale being returned to the dispossessed owners. The reports were to the effect that the owners got some money but only a pittance for the fair amount. Thus, Mark's dramatic stories about shoes and bones aside, the Germans created a system that required compensation for confiscated property.

Just can't bring himself to admit that I am right. Anyway, trying to get Mark VanAlstine to give an honest answer may have gotten a little confusing to everybody else. Pressac makes a big point of the fact the the corpse chute did not appear on some late plans of Krema II. There was NOT an annotation to explain the deletion of the chute. In fact the chute appears to have been built. One can still be seen in the ruins of K. III A mirror Pressac argument is that a heating system for Leichenkeller 1 was planned but NOT built. Thus, the Exterminationist argument is: Corpse chute not planned (but built) ahha!! Heating planned (but not built) Ahha!!! This is not to dismiss all of Pressac's "criminal traces" but these to are not very powerful. What is interesting about the plan (Bauleitung drawing 2003) is that it was first prepared 12/19/42 but was not signed off on until MAY 1943. This indicates a later completion date and a later approval of the changes made in the plan. It is also interest to note that many plans of the Krema were prepared by civilian firms, indicating a much lower level of security for the "gas chamber" project that a in house SS planning.

Then may be you can explain some obvious inconsistencies in your theory of forced labor costs (not counting value of bones) If the Germans were in the forced labor business for money and making an alleged net profit of $75 per month per laborer why did they let their laborer die after nine months? Also, if labor is so valuable so as to take the time and cost to set up the camp, guard system and housing, along with expensive hospital, saunas, and crematoria, why did they kill 90% (SHM) of the arriving workers? Your rational of the extermination/labor camps is that the Germans set them up to make a profit but then you have them killing off their labor supply and trained workers. Second question-you never bothered to let us know the date of the amazing estimate by "the highest echelons of the SS" of profit. It really is a fantastic document, Mark, please try explaining some of the assumptions of the estimate.

Oddly enough, this was an argument that I raised as a disadvantage of an UNDERGROUND gas chamber. Herding people into an underground "shower" and getting the bodies up to the crematory level. How do you claim all the bodies were moved? Are you going to claim that the Aufzug (corpse lift)was a powerful mechanism capable of moving a fifty bodies at a time? How many bodies do you claim were sent up the little elevator shaft? 250,000, 350,000 450,000? Was the "aufzug" (corpse lift) designed to handle two or three bodies at a time or 50-100 bodies?

Obviously a vast number of stories about the "showers" at Birkenau are confused, contradictory and clearly at odds with the physical evidence at the site. The stories are of two types: Whips and dogs-emphasis on force driving the victims underground; and Girls in blue skirts playing gay music-emphasis on pure trickery. However, as a Revisionist, it was not the most ridiculous Holocaust story that had to be explained but the most cogent one. I had shrugged the matter off, sort of going along with the Whips and Dogs approach. Then Mark Van Alstine wrote on 07 Nov 1996 a list of stories. From his quotes, it appears that the "trickery" stories are clearly SHM. Of course, all of Alstine's stories have clear impossiblities in them but that is grist for another posting. The physical layout of Kremas II and III does not lend itself to tricking people into an underground gaschamber. There was no fence or gate at the back (western) end of the camp. No crowd control measures and ditches and trees at the critical area of the turn into the "gaschambers". The stairs into the Leichenkeller were narrow and steep. The Leichenkeller itself was low ceilinged. By low ceilinged, I mean about 1.9 meters high. (That's about 6 feet for you, Mark) The victims had to walk around the Krema itself (no looking into the windows). This was an criticism of the "Girls in blue skirts playing gay music" stories. Here are the VanAlstine tales snipped to demonstrate the paramont importance of trickery to the Birkenau story. The VanAlstine Tales SS Unterscarfu"hrer Broad, Political Section (Gestapo) at KL Auschwitz: "...There at the ramp the cattle vans were being unloaded and the people who had arrived in them, were slowly marching towards their unknown destination.. A few guards without guns, but with pistols well hidden in their pockets, escorted the procession to the crematorium. The SS men promised the people, who were begining to feel more hopeful, that they would be employed at suitable work, according to their occupations. Explicit instructions as to thier behaviour were given the SS men by Ho"ssler. their (sic) were no uncivil words at that moment. The more fiendish the whole plan! Both leaves of the big entrance gate to the crematorium were wide open. Suspecting nothing the column marched in, in lines of five persons, and stood in the yard. Somewhat nerviously the SS guard at the entrance waited for the last man to enter the yard. Quickly he shut the gate and bolted it. Grabner and Ho"ssler were standing on the roof of the crematorium. Grabner spoke to the Jews who unsuspectingly awaited their fate. "'You will now bathe and be disinfeted, we don't wan't any epidemics in the camp. "They willingy followed those instructions, given them in a friendly, warm-hearted voice. Grabner and Ho"ssler continued >from the roof to give freindly advice which had a calming effect upon the people. 'Put your shoes close to your clothes bundle, so that you can find them after the bath'. - "Is the water warm? Of course, warm showers. - What is your trade? A shoemaker? We need them urgently, report to me immediately after!' - Such words dispelled last doubts or lingering suspicions. Several SS men had entered with them, full of jokes and small talk. They inobtrusuvely kept their eyes on the entrance. As soon as the last person had entered, they dissapeared without much ado. . (Czech, _KL Auschwitz_, pp.175-176.)

SS Obersturmbannfu"hrer Ho"ss, 1st Kommandant of KL Auschwitz: "In the spring of 1942 [January] the first transports of Jews arrived from Upper Silesia. [Camp Commander] Aumeier, Palitzch, and a few other block leaders led them and spoke to them as one would in casual conversation, asking them about their occupations and their schooling in order to fool them. The presence of the Sonderkommando and their soothing behavior also helped calm the restless and suspicious. Some of the SOnderkommando even went with them into the rooms and stayed until the last moment to keep them calm while an SS soldier stood in the doorway. The most important thing, of course, was to maintain as mucg peace and quitr as possible during the process of arriving and undressing. If some did not want to undress, some of those already undressed as well as the Sonderkommando had to help them undress. "With quite talk and persuasion even those who resisted were soothed and udressed. The Sonderkommando, which was composed of prisoners, took great pains that the process of undressing took place very quickly so that the victims had no time to think about what was happening. Actually the eager assistance of the Sonderkommando during the undressing and the processin into the gas chambers was very peculiar. Never did I see or hear even a syllable breathed to those who were going to be gassed as to what their fate was. On the contrary, they tried everything to fool them. Most of all, they tried to calm those who seeed to guess what was ahead/ Even though they might not believe the SS soldiers, they would have complete trust in those of their own race. For this reon the SOnderkommando was always composed of Jews from the same country as those who were being sent to the gas chambers." (Ho"ss, _Death Dealer_, pp. 157-158.) Prisoner Doctor, and Auschwitz survivor, Miklos Nyiszli : "...Five abreast the group entered the courtyard; And not, as the German lie had made the right-hand column suppose in order to allay their anxiety, a camp for the sick and children, where the infirm cared for the little ones. "They advanced with slow weary steps. The SS guards who recieved the convoys were used to the scene. They waited patiently till each had quenched his thirst and filled his container. IN any case, the guards knew that as long as they not drunk their (sic) would be no getting them back in line. Slowly they began to re-form their ranks. Then they advanced for about 100 yards along a cinder path edged with green grass to an iron ramp, from which 10 or 12 concrete steps led underground to an enourmus room dominated by a large sign in German, French, Greek and Hungarian: 'Bath and Disinfecting Room.' The sign was reassuring, and allayed the m isgivings of fears of even the most suspicious among them. They went down the stairs almost gaily. Numerous signs in several languages drew everyoe's attention to the necessity of tying his clothes and shoes together "'That's really a German order,' commented those who had long been inclined to admire the Germans.

Even the Germans were aware of the precariousness of their "fiendish" plan, "Somewhat nerviously the SS guard at the entrance waited..." but of course, they didn't do anything about it like put up a fence or design a gaschamber that looked a little like a shower. They even kept their guns hidden. Of course, nothing actually at the site today supports VanAlstines stories. The Auschwitz Album has pictures of an actual arrival at Birkenau. Needless to say, all of VanAlstine's stories are contradicted by real photographs. The eager Sondercommando If you really believed these stories, the very odd but vital role of the Sondercommandos becomes apparent. "The eager assistance of the Sonderkommando" as Hoess calls it. The testimony of these "eager" assistants like Tauber, who told incredible stories about the Germans to justify his own actions, which are a key support of the stories of mass gassings. The Sondercommando were given special treatment, they lived at the edge of camp with little or no security, and they eagerly assisted the Germans.

Your quote was about 3,000 people being tricked into a room and UNDRESSING there, not being "crammed" into a particular space. L.Keller 2's interior measured 7.93 m x 49.43 m. (TECHNIQUE. p.327.) That's about 26' x 164' or 4264 square feet, NOT counting pillars, benches, guards. The story you quoted has 3,000 people (plus the eager Sondercommandos and guards) packed into and getting UNDRESSED in about 1.4 square feet per person. I suggest you, Danny Keren, J. Morris, Yale, (maybe Sara Perrrfect will go too), Gord McFee, Jamie and 2 others all get into your regular 3' by 4' shower (only with 6.5 feet of headroom). Please try to disrobe.

Yes, such a small room, so inconvient to the story. Why be explicit when talking about the murder scene of 100,000's of people? Why bother with a an extra room or two? Nysizli was only a self-proclaimed rare "eyewitness" to murders, no need to be accurate, no historical value here. >It simply was not important to the narrative. >A narrative who's purpose, lest we forget, was >in describing the horror of a mass homicidal >gassing -and not the minutae of the Krema's contruction and layout. Nyiszli spends a lot of time describing the Krema's layout, most of it wrong. Of course, the point is to get some idea of the accuracy of Nyiszli. As you just write, he is not accurate. >Your nit-picking over Nyiszli's ommision of >such minutae, for example, >makes one wonder as to your motivations. "nit-picking"? Missing the lenght of the gas chamber by 450 feet is minutae? Forgetting rooms, putting people into Undressing rooms at 1 per 1.4 sq. feet minutae. Rember, this guy claims to be a doctor who lived in Krema II. Not a guess based on a quick peek. Let's see what your "eyewitness" says about the vital Zyclon induction holes. >> 8. Thirty yards between porous pillars? >>Incorrect. The spacing was likely on the order of 4.45 meters Your eyewitness is incorrect again by a factor of 6.

Of course, ol' Doctor N. couldn't bothered to be clear on such minor details as the number of vents. What do you think he meant? Why you post stories with so many inaccuracies in them?

"By implication"? "extenstion" , I have not argued any of that. You are projecting, Mark. As I have said before: "Revisionist must explain the best "witness" account, not simply point out the obvious frauds. I know next to nothing about Nyiszli other than that his account is most remarkable and has the inaccuracies in it (as we have both agreed). Nyiszli may have been at Birkenau or he may not really have existed. I am not in a position to say. It would make an interesting paper for some history student. Anyway, I think the inaccuarcies are important. You don't. Once we have identified them, that is about as far as we can take this one. So... Back to Nyiszli's account of Krema II: Nyiszli claimed that 3,000 people at a time undressed in Leichenkeller 2. You and I know that Leichenkeller 2 is approximately 4,000 sq. ft. in size subtracting the columns adding a few guards and Sondercommandos. That's is (generously) about 1.5 sq. ft per person to undress in. For anyone out there in cyberland who is interested (hello, hello) and wants to test Nyiszli's story. Put a yard stick (or a one meter rod) on the floor. Mark off a three foot by three foot space. 9 sq. feet. Then get six people to stand inside the space. Then get them to take off their cloths. (Note: They should be very good friends). To be fair, I should note that Mark VanAlstine once posted that the distance from the tip of his index finger to his wrist was 9 cm. so maybe he wouldn't have a problem undressing in 1.5 sq. ft. As to the other "few details", res ipsa locutor. In this same posting you admit he is off by a factor of 400 percent: a gas chamber twice as large as a football field, etc. etc. >> You post stories you know are incorrect.... >No. I have no reason to disbelieve what Nyiszli wrote... 400 percent off?-200 yard gaschambers? 3,000 people undressing in a 4,000 sq. ft. room? You giggle it off with your "theories" it was a "coded message in regard that the Soviet claim of 4 million killed at Auschwitz incorrect": You have an insouciance which is next to sick. As I wrote: You post stories you know are incorrect and then freely accuse others of "intellectual dishonesty". Well, at least you admit the connection beween these stories and Soviet propaganda. For others who may not know it (and Mark the Hoaxter isn't about to point it out) Nyiszli claimed to have lived in Krema II, to have been a doctor and a trained observer, an eyewitness to every major type of Nazi crime at Birkenau, an assistane to Mengele, and, a miraclous survivor. As I said, an amazing story.

Don't let any Texan hear you say that! Actually, I would agree with you. The "value" of a witness is not precluded by mistakes in numeric values or distances. However, Nyiszli was a Ph.d, had months to make his observations and a definite sense of the importance of his observations. These factors make his mistakes odd. Without knowing more about the man or at least the genisis of his book, it is hard to really evaluate his story.
