Apparently, Mr. McCarthy does not understand the reason why I am making
this piece available on the Web. It is not because Mr. Giwer's analysis
is brilliant, but rather because he has identified a common problem with
the use of Holocaust sources: that is, different scholars treat any
given source to such remarkably different ways that it is difficult to
believe that they are dealing with one source, and not multiple,
conflicting sources.

The treatment of the testimonies of Rudolf Hoess is another great
example of this, about which I will have more to say later.
