	Then you should go to Nizkor and did up the picture of the ovens.
You will see the backs of them are against the wall and the
fireboxs to stoke them are in the front.  

	And of from these pictures the source of air for combustion is in
the front and there are no apparent chimney exhaust in the front,
it is not clear how the heat from your supposed buring in the
rear would have gotten to the oven rather than going directly up
the flue.  Perhaps you could explain that?  

	Do you have a picture different from theirs and if so, why have
you not sent it to them?  You description is contrary to the
Nizkor picture.  You appear to be making this up as you go along.


	But then we still have the problem of finding the coke ashes
which also appear to have vanished without a trace.  

As to why nobody has

	You fellow holohugger claimed there were.  Take it up with him,
not me.

	Ashes are not soluable.  They do not disolve in water.  It has
already been agreed that they will sink.  You keep believing the
fool who created these memoirs and you are going to continue to
believe all kinds of impossible things.  

	You will also note, this has nothing to do with the vanished bone
crushing equipment.  So both the coke ashes and the bone crushing
equipment have vanished.

	Tell that to your fellow holohugger.  I thought it was ridiculous
also.  My only problem is separating the stories into degrees of
ridiculousness.

	For example, are his grates and bone grinders more ridiculous
than your disolving bone fragments that pass thour a 1 cm mesh?
The former could have existed.  The latter is clearly impossible.
You know, that physical law stuff you have such a problem with.

	You are neglecting to note that it was dumped in by the tons if
there is any truth to the claims of the cremation rate.  You are
also failing to note that they were dumped on the banks by hand
(unless you can back a truck into river mud and are using dump
trucks and get it out a few feet.)  The banks are where the water
flow is slowest.

	Obviously the word disolving means disolving.  You have also
giving the maxium size with the sieve size.  And of course one
can say it is over 50 years later.  But at the time our Soviet
allies did not think this bit of evidence worth collecting, any
more than they collected any other evidence, as a nada, zilch.
All they collect was Katyn Woods type testimony.

	All very interesting but you will remember that our California
chemist was playing his game of deception by stating that the
bone ash was an oxide of calcium, trioxide I believe.  If you
want it to be something else I would suggest you take it up with
him, develop a consistent story, and get back to me.  

	It is impossible for me to deal with multiple true truths at the
same time.  

	Apparently you holohuggers are able to believe many mutually
exclusive things are true at the same time.  

	I do not find that an enviable ability.
