  Michael  S. Curtis | I would ask Mr. Sack is 
                     | how he feels now, knowing that his book has been 
                     | embraced by 
                     | Holocaust revisionists.  Although that was not his 
                     | purpose, and 
                     | although his book is not a work of Holocaust 
                     | denial, the IHR/
                     | Noontide Press distributes his book and obviously 
                     | takes delight 
                     | in the story that he tells.  Does he have any 
                     | regrets?
           John Sack | Thank you for the question, Michael.  I want as
                     | many revisionists as possible to read this.  If
                     | you'll hang in for a minute I'll
           John Sack | put on line some of a letter I sent to Aaron 
                     | Breitbart at the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
           John Sack | Thank you for the flier from the Institute for 
                     | Hysterical Review.  Yes yes, I know the Institute's 
                     | selling An Eye for an Eye,
           John Sack | and it's either  a sign of an author's overoptimism 
                     | or of his overego (but which? please tell me) that 
                     | I actually welcome it.
           John Sack | The Institute says that the Holocaust didn't 
                     | happen.  Well, I write on the second page of An Eye 
                     | for an Eye, "The people
           John Sack | who say it are fools, maybe worse," so I welcome 
                     | the fact that the Institute's selling these words.  
                     | On the same page I
           John Sack | write, "Yes, the Holocaust happened," and I then 
                     | write 33 pages specifically about the Holocaust.
           John Sack | In these first 33 pages of An Eye For an Eye, the 
                     | Germans invade Poland, the Germans burn down a 
                     | Jewish temple, "the
           John Sack | cries of the worshipers were like an enormous 
                     | scream," the Germans kill 800 Jews, the Germans
                     | send Jews to the
           John Sack | Gleiwitz concentration camp, the Germans send Jews 
                     | to the Bedzin ghetto, the Gestapo tortures a Jew, 
                     | the SS attacks
           John Sack | the Bedzin ghetto, "the SS took some babies away to 
                     | rip in two pieces or pitch at the walls or toss in 
                     | the air and catch like
           John Sack | quoits on their bayonets," the SS sends Jews to
                     | Auschwitz, the SS puts fifty-seven into an 
                     | Auschwitz cyanide chamber,
           John Sack | the SS kills twenty-nine, the SS beats Jews with 
                     | clubs, "almost all Jews at Auschwitz went, as they 
                     | said, up the chimney,"
           John Sack | thirteen specifically die this way, the SS seizes a 
                     | Jew and "beat her, whipped her, and tortured her, 
                     | crushing her hands
           John Sack | and feet like walnut shells," the SS hangs four
                     | Jews, the SS shoots some Jews, the SS sends 60,000 
                     | people on foot (at
           John Sack | 10 below) out of Auschwitz, the SS shoots hundreds 
                     | of Jews, and the SS, I write, creates a scene out 
                     | of Dante's Inferno.
          Alex/Sysop | Once again, folks, for now we're using an open 
                     | floor, but you can also use the ASK button or 
                     | /question command to put a question into the 
                     | question queue at any time.  It'll look like this 
                     | when you do!
           John Sack | "In the snow were the Jews....There were maybe one 
                     | thousand, living, dying, dead--the living 
                     | screaming, the dying crying,
           John Sack | the dead ones kneeling, their hands on their heads, 
                     | their bodies as white as snow statues, frozen 
                     | solid....The colors
           John Sack | were those in a steel engraving, black and white: a 
                     | drawing of the last ring of hell."
           John Sack | The rest of An Eye For an Eye is often about the 
                     | Holocaust.  The Germans hang Lola's brother, the 
                     | Germans kill Barek's
           John Sack | mother, father and two sisters, "the bodies, logs, 
                     | bodies, logs rose for a half-dozen tiers that the 
                     | SS had burned like a
           John Sack | funeral pyre till a man couldn't tell if some of 
                     | the char was animal or vegetable," the Germans kill 
                     | Shlomo's father,
           John Sack | mother, three sisters, and all his uncles, aunts 
                     | and cousins, the Gestapo tortures Pinek's sister, 
                     | the SS castrates a
           John Sack | Jewish man, the Germans kill Shlomo's (another 
                     | Shlomo's) father, mother, brothers, uncles, aunts, 
                     | and "all but one
           John Sack | ailing cousin and six million more."    I conclude 
                     | in An Eye For an Eye, "What the Germans...did to 
                     | the Jews  was
           John Sack | monstrous."
           John Sack | I welcome all Nazis, neo-Nazis, antisemites, and 
                     | Holocaust deniers who for God knows what motives 
                     | choose to read
           John Sack | this, let alone pay for it.
          Alex/Sysop | Why is there such a strong reaction to the book?  
                     | Would people rather believe the Goldhagen theory 
                     | that Germans are somehow--different?
           John Sack | Well, Goldhagen has the theory that what the 
                     | Holocaust teaches us is, all Jews are good and all 
                     | Germans are bad.  I
           John Sack | think that the Holocaust teaches us something more 
                     | universal than that.
  Michael  S. Curtis | What the deniers are doing is using your book to 
                     | relativize and trivialize what the Germans did by 
                     | saying, "Hey the Jews did this too!
                     | What makes the Germans so special?"
           John Sack | Well, the Jews didn't, repeat, didn't do what the 
                     | Germans did.  They didn't kill even two percent as 
                     | many people.  They
           John Sack | certainly didn't put Germans on trains and send
                     | them to cyanide chambers and crematoriums.  I say 
                     | that in An Eye for an
           John Sack | Eye, almost word-for-word.  Anyone who says the
                     | Jews did the same things the Germans did is saying 
                     | his or her
           John Sack | own words, not mine.
          Alex/Sysop | You describe your book as being more than a book 
                     | about Jewish revenge, but also a book of Jewish
                     | redemption.  Could you elborate on that a little?
  Michael  S. Curtis | One last question from a friend: Mr. Sack presents 
                     | one Czeslaw Geborski as one
  Michael  S. Curtis | of the most brutal commandants of camps for ethnic 
                     | Germans. He mentions that
  Michael  S. Curtis | Geborski claimed to be a Catholic, not a Jew, but 
                     | Mr. Sack seems to
  Michael  S. Curtis | present this claim with some skepticism. Given the 
                     | avowed subject
  Michael  S. Curtis | matter of his book, why didn't he ascertain the
                     | truth in this matter?
  Michael  S. Curtis | Wasn't it important to positively identify Gentiles 
                     | as such in a book
  Michael  S. Curtis | emphasizing Jewish guilt in the mistreatment of
                     | ethnic Germans? Does
  Michael  S. Curtis | Mr. Sack at this time know whether Geborski was
                     | Jewish or Catholic?
           John Sack | The heroine of the book is Lola Potok, a real 
                     | person who now lives in Australia.  For months she 
                     | sought to do what the
           John Sack | Germans did to the Jews, to her own family, in 
                     | fact.  She beat the Germans and let her guards 
                     | torture them, let the
           John Sack | Germans die.  Then she remembered what her religion 
                     | taught her.  She changed.  Now I'll go on to 
                     | Michael's question.
           John Sack | Michael, I really don't know if Geborski is 
                     | Catholic or Jewish.  He was at Auschwitz.  All his 
                     | friends were Jews. He always
           John Sack | dined at the Jewish Cultural Club in Katowice. He 
                     | made all his prisoners wear yellow stars of David.  
                     | And the prisoners
           John Sack | believed that he was a Jew, this according to 
                     | testimony at a trial in Germany.  But I can't prove 
                     | it, for Geborski refused to
           John Sack | speak to me.  So I never say it.
          Alex/Sysop | More questions, folks?
          Alex/Sysop | You've been in journalism for decades.  I first
                     | encountered your work in Esquire in the '60s, in 
                     | fact.  What made you take on this subject?
Arthur S. Liebeskind | Is anything happerning?
          Alex/Sysop | Arthur, we're having a live conference with John 
                     | Sack, author of AN EYE FOR AN EYE.
           Bob Weien | Just joined the conference.  Saw something earlier
           Bob Weien | about being about to buy and then download the
           Bob Weien | book.  How to go about that?
           John Sack | Alex, I met Lola in Los Angeles.  She told me a
                     | swee tlittle story about slapping some Germans who 
                     | were SS and
           John Sack | Gestapo.  That's the story I wrote in California 
                     | magazine, and that's the story that was reprinted 
                     | in Best Magazine Articles,
           John Sack | 1988.  I knew nothing then about torture, about
                     | Germans dying.  I knew nothing about the 226 other 
                     | prisons and 1,255
           John Sack | concentration camps run by Jews.  When I wrote my 
                     | book proposal, when I signed my book contract, I 
                     | thought I'd be
           John Sack | telling this sweet little story.
          Alex/Sysop | I'll answer Bob's question when you're through 
                     | answering mine (grin) GA
           John Sack | Alex, I answered you, you answer Bob.
          Alex/Sysop | Okay.  Bob, "An Eye for an Eye" will be available 
                     | for download from the Readers & Writers Ink menu 
                     | quite soon--probably by tomorrow.
          Alex/Sysop | I've got a technical matter to wait on, and then 
                     | it'll be downloadable at the click of a button.
                     | The menu is at GO READER, and th
          Alex/Sysop | e download price will be $2.95.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Thanks, we'll probably speak more in forum after 
                     | *I* have had a chance to study
  Michael  S. Curtis | the book. Yet it makes me sad that day after day as 
                     | I deal with deniers I have
  Michael  S. Curtis | to battle your book. Though I've seen this book
                     | quite often in local stores, I
  Michael  S. Curtis | haven't bought it. I have spent enough wasted time 
                     | with Butz and Mark Weber.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Their use of your book didn't make it ride the top 
                     | of my list and I have
  Michael  S. Curtis | depended upon others who have read it to help with 
                     | the refutations. Most of us
  Michael  S. Curtis | who deal with refuting the deniers have to deal
                     | with how your book is used and
  Michael  S. Curtis | abused. Trust me, I will download it wen it becomes 
                     | available. I will show you
  Michael  S. Curtis | how the deniers are actually using your book. It'll 
                     | take me some time to put it
  Michael  S. Curtis | together.
          Alex/Sysop | Knowledge of how deniers are using it is one reason 
                     | I'm glad to be able to offer it here, in fact.
                     | Having read it, I'm all the mor
           John Sack | Michael, I say right in the preface, right on the 
                     | second page, that the people who deny the Holocaust 
                     | are fools, maybe
           John Sack | worse.
          Alex/Sysop | e incensed.
          Alex/Sysop | Along these lines, can you tell the people here a 
                     | bit about the book's suppression in different 
                     | countries?
           John Sack | Sure.  The worst was Germany.  The publisher 
                     | printed 6,000 copies.  The day before he was to
                     | send them to bookstores,
           John Sack | he changed his mind and destroyed all 6,000. Then 
                     | another publisher bought it, and it became a 
                     | best-seller there.
          Alex/Sysop | Some have complained that the book reads like a
                     | story--almost novelistic in its approach.  What do 
                     | you think of their belief that a purely scholarly 
                     | approach is more proper?
           John Sack | The most recent suppression was on February 13th 
                     | this year.  I'd been invited to speak at the U.S. 
                     | Holocaust Memorial
           John Sack | Museum.  It was announced on the Internet and in 
                     | thousands of Museum brochures.  Then, without 
                     | explanation, the
           John Sack | Museum canceled it.  Well, of course what happened 
                     | was, the press was up in arms and I spoke instead 
                     | on NPR and at
           John Sack | the National Press Club.
  Michael  S. Curtis | What excuse did the earlier publisher give? What 
                     | was USHMM excuse?
           John Sack | But to answer your question, Alex.  I wish, I wish, 
                     | that some scholar would write a scholarly book 
                     | about this, with all the
           John Sack | footnotes and that good stuff.  It's just not the 
                     | way that I myself write.
           Bob Weien | Alex, thanks for the info, and I'll certainly 
                     | download
           Bob Weien | and read it as soon as it's available. Sounds
           Bob Weien | fascinating!
           John Sack | Michael, the German publisher said that the 
                     | discussions about the book might go off in the 
                     | wrong direction.  The
           John Sack | Holocaust Museum said the topic was inappropriate.  
                     | Neither of them said anything more.
  Michael  S. Curtis | We do have the de Zayas books do we not? What about 
                     | David Irving's troubles?
           John Sack | I'm surprised that you're comparing de Zayas and 
                     | David Irving.  De Zayas has never denied the 
                     | Holocaust. What's your
           John Sack | specific question about David Irving?
  Michael  S. Curtis | I'm not saying de Zayas is a denier! David Irving 
                     | has had suppression troubles
  Michael  S. Curtis | has he not?
           John Sack | Michael, he certainly has.  And I think that all 
                     | suppression is bad.  Whether it's David Irving or 
                     | Mark Twain.
          Alex/Sysop | We've a number of people here--please, folks, feel 
                     | free to ask our guest a question! You can put it 
                     | right here in the conference.  A
          Alex/Sysop | nd you can also use the ASK button or /question
                     | command to put a question into the question queue 
                     | at any time.
    Andrea Van Every | Hi John, this is Andrea
                     | How did you get the idea for this book?
           John Sack | Hi, Andrea.  I was at Paramount Pictures in 1984.  
                     | A secretary told me her mother was at Auscwhitz and 
                     | then ran a prison
           John Sack | for SS men.  I said, "What!  Do you know there's a 
                     | movie there?"  The secretary's mother was Lola 
                     | Potok.
          Alex/Sysop | You mentioned one man who wouldn't talk to you.
                     | Was it hard to get folks to open up about this 
                     | story? Did many want to keep it "under the rug" as 
                     | it were?
           John Sack | Alex, I'm writing a book now about the Chinese 
                     | Mafia.  I promise it's much, much easier to get a 
                     | Chinese gangster to talk
           John Sack | to you, even to tell you about the people he 
                     | murdered that the police don't know of, than to get 
                     | the Jews who ran the
           John Sack | concentration camps for Germans in 1945 to talk
                     | about that.
           John Sack | One man said he'd sue me.  One man said he'd 
                     | destroy me.  One man said he'd kill me.  I think he 
                     | meant it.
          Alex/Sysop | I note that Michael Barenbaum invited you to speak 
                     | at the Holocaust museum, but his successor withdrew 
                     | that invitation.  Has the issue caused much 
                     | division in the Jewish community?  Or was Barenbaum 
                     | the exception to the rule?
           John Sack | Alex, I'm flying to Los Angeles and meeting with 
                     | Michael Berenbaum in the middle of May.  He's the 
                     | very first critic of An
           John Sack | Eye for an Eye who's willing to meet with me. The 
                     | others just denounce me, then run for cover and
                     | hide.  But to answer
           John Sack | your question....
           John Sack | I'd say no.  There's no division in any Jewish 
                     | community that I am a part of.  My agent, my 
                     | lawyer, my publisher, my editor,
           John Sack | my publicity person at Basic Books, and even my
                     | beloved Sysop at CompuServe are all Jews, and 
                     | they're behind An Eye
           John Sack | for an Eye.  They realize that (as the Jewish 
                     | magazine PS put it) we have nothing to fear and
                     | much togain from An Eye for
           John Sack | an Eye.
  Michael  S. Curtis | I can understand the revenge factor. Can you offer 
                     | a trail of how many Jewish folks ended up 
                     | controlling concentration camps after the war and 
                     | where they were? Or is the concern more with 
                     | revenge carried out by small groups who captured 
                     | ex-concentration camp  SS in their snares?
           John Sack | Michael, there's no way of knowing how many Jews 
                     | there were.  That's because almost all of them 
                     | changed their names
           John Sack | to Polish Catholic ones, even on their application 
                     | forms for the Polish secret police.  Daniel 
                     | Goldhagen of Harvard, who's
           John Sack | certainly no friend of An Eye for an Eye, says that 
                     | in November, 1945, there were 400-and-something
                     | Jews in the Polish
           John Sack | secret police, and I say that by November 
                     | practically all the Jews had left.  If we're both 
                     | right, then early in 1945 there
           John Sack | would have been thousands of Jews.
  Michael  S. Curtis | I think Goldhagen had problems with your 
                     | substantiations. In fact, I have
  Michael  S. Curtis | problems with some of his. :-)
           John Sack | More in answer to Michael's question. The Jews ran 
                     | and worked for the Office of State Security, the 
                     | Polish political police.
           John Sack | They wore uniforms and called themselves 
                     | lieutenants, captains, even generals.  They 
                     | certainly weren't working in small
           John Sack | groups.  Now to your next question....
           John Sack | Goldhagen said that only 1.7 percent of the Office 
                     | of State Security were Jews.  That statement is a 
                     | disservice to the
           John Sack | motto ("Veritas") of Goldhagen's university. Only 
                     | last month, a distinguished professor at Columbia, 
                     | speaking at a
           John Sack | conference at UCLA, referred to "the misdeeds of 
                     | the almost entirely Jewish-led Polish secret 
                     | police."  He said these
           John Sack | misdeeds--torture and murder among them--were 
                     | notorious.
  Michael  S. Curtis | It would seem that the sacking of Poland would have 
                     | upset a lot of non-Jewish
  Michael  S. Curtis | Poles?
           John Sack | It did.  But that's another matter.  A lot has been 
                     | written about what the secret police did to the
                     | Poles.  I'm writing about
           John Sack | what the secret police ("almost entirely 
                     | Jewish-led," the Columbia professor said) did to 
                     | Germans, innocent Germans,
           John Sack | even German babies.
          Alex/Sysop | We've still time for a few more questions, folks.  
                     | Anyone?
    Andrea Van Every | John, as I understand you had some pretty negative 
                     | reaction within the Jewish
    Andrea Van Every | community. What's the problem?
  Michael  S. Curtis | What proof do you have that the Christian names
                     | were in fact Jews?
           John Sack | Let me answer Michael's question.  I know that a 
                     | man is a Jew when I meet him and he tells me he's a 
                     | Jew.  For
           John Sack | example David Feuerstein.  He was a very brutal
                     | interrogator (under another name) in Neisse in 
                     | 1945.  He and his
           John Sack | friends tell me he's a Jew, and since he's vice
                     | president of the International Society for Yad 
                     | Vashem, I believe him.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Thanks, John.
           John Sack | Now for Andrea's question.  Well, someone in my
                     | local "Jewish community" asked me, "How could you, 
                     | as a Jew, write a
           John Sack | book like this about Jews."  I answered, "How could 
                     | I as a Jew (italics) not (end italics) write it?"
           John Sack | Joe Pistone, the FBI agent who posed as Donnie 
                     | Brasco, says that some Italians asked him, "How
                     | could you do this to
           John Sack | other Italians?"
          Alex/Sysop | Do you think we Jews, as a whole, have gotten too 
                     | far into --well, I don't know what to call it other 
                     | than our "victimhood."  Do we
          Alex/Sysop | have a need to think of ourselves only as victims 
                     | because of the holocaust?
           John Sack | Well, not the Jews that I know.  If some other Jews 
                     | think that what the Jewish religion's about is 
                     | never forgetting the
           John Sack | Holocaust, they should re-read the words of Micah: 
                     | "What does the Lord require of thee?  Only to do 
                     | justly and to love
           John Sack | mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God."
          Alex/Sysop | We've passed the hour--anyone have any last 
                     | questions for our guest?
    Andrea Van Every | I think you are very brave to touch a subject like 
                     | this -( and as a German
    Andrea Van Every | living in the States) I congratulate you for it.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Thanks for the hour, John.
          Alex/Sysop | Thanks to all of you for coming!  Remember, John 
                     | Sack will be here on the message board when he has 
                     | time to check the AN EYE FOR AN
          Alex/Sysop | EYE section, and the book will be available for
                     | download from the GO READER menu very soon.
           John Sack | Thank you, Andrea.  I didn't think that I was being 
                     | brave at the time I wrote it.  I just thought, This 
                     | story's never been told, it's my job as a reporter 
                     | to write it.
      Carolyn Poston | Yes, John, thank you--I had no idea of this.
           John Sack | Thank you, Caolyn.  I'm happy to stay and answer 
                     | any of your questions if Alex allows me.
          Alex/Sysop | Sure, if anyone has more questions, fire away!
      Carolyn Poston | Is there a difference between a "revisionist" and 
                     | one who just flat out denies that the holocaust
                     | happened?
    Andrea Van Every | John, did you get any negative reactions from any 
                     | Non-Jews, what ever
    Andrea Van Every | nationality?
           John Sack | Carolyn, I've met some "revisionists" and 
                     | "deniers."  They say there weren't any gas chambers 
                     | at Auschwitz.  They're
           John Sack | wrong, terribly wrong, and I've told them so, but 
                     | they're not not not saying the Holocaust didn't
                     | happen.  I've never met
           John Sack | anyone who says that the Holocaust didn't happen.
           John Sack | Andrea, yes.  The review in the Frankfurter 
                     | Rundschau, the one that caused the German publisher 
                     | to destroy 6,000
           John Sack | books, was written (I'm told) by a Gentile.
      Carolyn Poston | John, I am sad to say that I live in the heart of 
                     | the
      Carolyn Poston | Aryan Nations/Order Country and there are most
      Carolyn Poston | definitely those who say the Holocaust di not
      Carolyn Poston | happen.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Carolyn's right. No gas chambers = no holocaust to 
                     | them.
          Alex/Sysop | I've also met some online who insist there was no 
                     | holocaust, and that fewer than 80,000 Jews died
                     | during the entire war.  You've bee
          Alex/Sysop | n lucky so far (grin).
           John Sack | Thank you, Carolyn.  I'd like to see their 
                     | literature, so I don't deny the existence of the 
                     | deniers before a wider audience.
           John Sack | But Michael, I've seen a tape of a televsion talk 
                     | show where some major deniers said yes, the 
                     | Holocaust happened.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Oh, but then they will turn around and deny it.
                     | I'll present you some of this
  Michael  S. Curtis | in the future.
           John Sack | Thank you, Michael.  I'd like to see it.  I've got 
                     | a magazine assignment to write about it.
  Michael  S. Curtis | This makes the post-War murderous Jews even worse!
           John Sack | Michael, I didn't quite understand.
           John Sack | Do you mean it makes the Jews worse in the eyes of 
                     | the Holocaust deniers?
  Michael  S. Curtis | If their was no holocaust then there was no reason 
                     | for the Jews to do as you
  Michael  S. Curtis | have described. This is there thinking. Yes.
           John Sack | These people have their heads screwed on all wrong, 
                     | then.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Yes, sir. It is called anti-Semitism.
      Carolyn Poston | And also called White Supremitism
          Alex/Sysop | Any more questions, anyone?
           John Sack | I met Mark Weber.  A Jew who knows him says that 
                     | he's racist.  Why?  Because he thinks that whites 
                     | are smarter than
           John Sack | blacks, and thinks that Jews are smarter than 
                     | Gentiles.  That may be racist, but I can't call it 
                     | anti-Semitism.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Mark Weber has a degree in European Studies. M.A.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Mark Weber is very clever. You will have to read 
                     | some of his stuff. He's a
  Michael  S. Curtis | deneir.
           John Sack | I've got a stack of it, Mike, but I haven't had the 
                     | time or the heart to start reading it.  Not yet.
          Alex/Sysop | Actually, I'm not sure that "they're smarter" can't 
                     | be anti-semitic, if it's given as a reason not to 
                     | _trust_ Jews.
          Alex/Sysop | I've seen exactly that aimed at Orientals in recent 
                     | years.
           John Sack | Interesting point.  But then the people he'd trust 
                     | the most are the blacks.
  Michael  S. Curtis | Well, Alex, the Jews run the "media." :-)
          Alex/Sysop | Well, a Jew runs this particular bit of it anyway 
                     | (grin).
          Alex/Sysop | We're down to four here in the CO room, but  I 
                     | note, by the way, that a heckuvalot of people have 
                     | been lurking in the outer reaches
          Alex/Sysop | of the forum without joining the conference. The 
                     | new software encourages that.  Hey, folks, next
                     | time feel free to come on down to
          Alex/Sysop | the CO room!  (There were 22 up there at one point, 
                     | but most have left.)
           John Sack | Yeah, don't be a wallflower.
      Carolyn Poston | Alex, whoch new software? What version?
  Michael  S. Curtis | I must be off. Thank you much Alex and John. See 
                     | you in the Book Review Froum.
          Alex/Sysop | Carolyn, in CompuServe 3.0 (or later) you can 
                     | "listen" to a conference room without leaving the 
                     | message board or the libraries.
           John Sack | Thank you, Mike.   Bye.
          Alex/Sysop | Michael, thanks for coming!
