Tales of the Holohoax
A Historian’s Assessment
Part 2 of 2
[KATANA: This is Mark Weber’s somewhat cautious assessment of the satirical cartoon booklet, Tales of the Holohoax (Ver 1). This is not presented as a full endorsement of Weber’s views, but rather to present worthwhile commentary on this booklet that resulted in the injustice of Simon Shepard being sentenced to over 4 years in jail in Britain, merely for publishing it.
For further information on Simon Shepard please go this site by by Michael Hoffman (one of the contributors to the booklet).

Declaration of Mark Weber
Expert Report by Mark Weber on the Heretical Press publication Tales of the Holohoax.
In 2008 Simon Sheppard was prosecuted for its publication, even though the comic had been sold in Britain for around two decades.
[Image] Simon Sheppard
The following report was not allowed to be submitted into evidence because “the truth is no defence.” Later, prosecution barrister Jonathan Sandiford told the jury, “You need not concern yourselves with the truth. You only need consider whether these matters are abusive or insulting.”
My name is Mark Weber. I was born on October 9, 1951, in Portland, Oregon, USA. I studied history at Portland State University, the University of Illinois (Chicago), the University of Munich (in Germany), and Indiana University (in Bloomington).
[Image] Mark Weber
In 1976 I graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor’s degree (high honors). In 1978 I received a Master’s degree in modern European history from Indiana University, where I also served as an instructor.
On March 22, 1988, I was accepted by a court in Toronto, Canada as qualified to give opinion evidence testimony on the Holocaust and Germany’s wartime Jewish policy. After being qualified by Judge Ron Thomas of the District Court of Ontario, I testified for five days in the high-profile case.
During the past 20 years I have carried out extensive independent study on history, particularly 19th and 20th century European and US history. This included considerable research in the National Archives and the Library of Congress (both in Washington, DC ) during the late 1970s and early 1980s into the ordeal of Europe’s Jews during the Second World War.
That research included study of the aerial photographs of Auschwitz taken by the Allies in 1944, the complete, original records of the German wartime Einsatzgruppen units, the German Foreign Office files on the “final solution of the Jewish question in Europe,” the SS concentration camp administration records, the Wannsee Conference protocol and memoranda, and many US Army records, as well as virtually all protocol and memoranda, and many US Army records, as well as virtually all documents and testimony relating to Germany’s wartime Jewish policy in the 42 volumes of the Nuremberg Tribunal and in the other volumes of testimony and documents of postwar Allied trials. In addition, I have carefully studied the works of prominent historians of the Holocaust, including Raul Hilberg, Gerald Reitlinger, Leon Poliakov and Lucy Dawidowicz.
I am the author of many scholarly published articles and reviews on a range of historical issues, including many on Germany’s wartime Jewish policy and the Holocaust, and on the implications and consequences of this chapter of history. These include “Buchenwald: Legend and Reality” (with the first-ever publication of a secret post-war US Army report on conditions in that notorious camp), “Treblinka,” “Stutthof,” “Bergen-Belsen: The Suppressed Story,” “High Frequency Delousing Facilities at Auschwitz,” “Pages from the Auschwitz Death Registry Volumes,” “Wilhelm Höttl and the Elusive ‘Six Million’,” “New ‘Official’ Changes in the Auschwitz Story,” and “Tell-Tale Documents and Photos from Auschwitz.”
My detailed study, “The Nuremberg Trials and the Holocaust,” was published as a book in 1998 in French translation under the title La face cachée de Nuremberg.
Since January 1991 I have been living in southern California, where I have been employed full time as a writer, editor and/ or director of the Institute for Historical Review (IHR), an independent “think tank” and research and publishing center. For nine years I served as editor of the IHR’s Journal of Historical Review. The IHR is recognized by the US Internal Revenue Service as a public interest educational enterprise, which means that donors may deduct the amount of their donations to the IHR from their incomes for tax purposes.
I have been asked to provide an analysis of the 16-page booklet “Tales of the Holohoax,” based on my specialized study and training as a historian.
Here is My Assessment
The obvious main purpose of this booklet is to discredit the generally-accepted Holocaust story of the systematic killing of some six million European Jews during World War II, or at least on some aspects of it. A notice at the top of the booklet’s front cover, “A Journal of Satire,” serves as a disclaimer, warning the reader that this is not to be regarded as a scholarly publication. Adding to its obviously polemical and satirical character is the booklet’s “comic book” format and irreverent title.
All the same, the reader is encouraged to believe that the booklet’s assertions are true and based on fact. To lend credibility to assertions made in the booklet’s text, sources or references are sometimes provided. A few of these are given in the text itself, but most are in the form of numbered sources or references through the booklet text, and which are all listed in the “Endnotes” section on page 15. Although I have not been able to check all of the sources or references in the “Endnotes” listing, most of those I was able to check are accurate, or at least essentially so.
[Note: For previous pages please see Part 1]
Page 8: The Miracle of the Burning Pits
The two drawings at the upper portion of this page, and the accompanying text, headed “The Miracle of the Burning Pits,” are meant to discredit the often-repeated claim that in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp during the spring and summer of 1944 many thousands of corpses of gassed Jews were cremated every day in open pits.
The cited source – Endnote 11 – are wartime Allied aerial reconnaissance photos taken on a range of dates in 1944.
In 1979 at the National Archives in Washington, DC, I examined all of the large, original film rolls of these aerial reconnaissance photos. I also carefully examined enlargements of the most relevant individual frames of this collection, that is, the photos of Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau. I also studied relevant available literature, and I discussed these photos with a photo interpreter who had played a role in making public these photographs through the CIA.
As the booklet text suggests here, the claims of mass burnings of bodies in open-air pits are indeed incompatible with the evidence of these 1944 aerial reconnaissance photos.
[Image Text: The Miracle of the Burning Pits
12,000 Jews per day were burned in Auschwitz-Birkenau every day in the spring and summer of 1944 during the Holohoax. Thousands were burned out in the open, in pits … Thousands of others were burned in “the ovens” (crematoria) during the spring and summer of 1944.
Yet during this period the Allies took aerial reconnaissance photographs of the Auschwitz-Birkenau labour camp which fail to show the slightest trace of smoke or burning bodies in pits. (11)
Attorney: … You do maintain then, Prof. Miller, that thousand of Jews were burned in the ovens and open-air pits of Auschwitz-Birkenau?
Prof. Miller: … I certainly do! And anyone who says different is an anti-semitic Nazi hatemonger!
Attorney: … Now then, Professor, I offer for your inspection these 1944 photographs of Auschwitz-Birkenau which show absolutely no pits, no smoke and no flames. How then were thousands of Jews being burned without showing up in photos of the camps taken at that time?
Prof. Miller: … It was a MIRACLE!]
Claims of mass cremation in pits at Birkenau are also not credible because it is extraordinarily difficult to burn corpses in the open air, and even more so in pits. This point was made by Ivan Legacé, a crematory manager and operator, in court testimony given in April 1988. (See: B. Kulaszka, ed., “Did Six Million Really Die?” [1992], p. 270.)
Those Who Miraculously SURVIVED
When he was asked about the often-made allegation that some 4,400 bodies were cremated each day at Auschwitz-Birkenau in the spring or summer of 1944, Legacé responded by saying that such claims are “preposterous,” “beyond the realm of reality” and “ludicrous.”
[Image Text: Those Who Miraculously SURVIVED
In thousands of newspapers, tens of thousands of jews have told stories about how — by a miracle — they survived the Nazi extermination camps. There are whole cities full of hundreds of thousands of such “miraculous survivors” — Skokie, Illinois … Brooklyn, New York … Los Angeles, California. Everyone from Elie Wiesel to Kitty Hart to the parents of Abraham Foxman, Nat’l Director of the A.D.L. miraculously survived. Typical newspaper stories are titled, “One Families’ Miracle Tale” which features a motif of Jews hiding in an oven. (12)
TV studio set Banner: MIRACULOUS SURVIVORS OF THE HOLOCAUST
Survivor 1: I survived the gas chambers. It was a miracle. I hid in an oven.
Survivor 2: I hid in a chimney … It was a miracle.
Survivor 3: Me too
Survivor 4: Me three]
The drawings in the middle and bottom of this page, and the accompanying texts, under the heading “Those Who Miraculously Survived,” are about false or exaggerated claims of “miraculous” Holocaust survivors.
Although I was not able to check this particular reference – Endnote 11 – (The Washington Times, April 12, 1983, p. B-1), I can confirm that many Holocaust survivor claims are indeed exaggerated or not true.
For example, Jewish “Holocaust survivor,” Moshe Peer recounted in a memoir and to a Canadian journalist his wartime ordeal as an eleven-year-old in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. He claimed that he;
“was sent to the [Bergen-Belsen camp] gas chamber at least six times.”
The journalist’s newspaper account went on to relate:
“Each time he survived, watching with horror as many of the women and children gassed with him collapsed and died. To this day, Peer doesn’t know how he was able to survive.”
(Source: K. Seidman, “Surviving the Horror,” The Gazette [Montreal, Canada ], August 5, 1993. A facsimile of this item was published in The Journal of Historical Review, Nov.-Dec. 1993, p. 24.)
Peer’s story is not true. In fact, and as every reputable historian of the subject now acknowledges, not a single person was ever “gassed” at the Bergen-Belsen camp.
Having to work like this is a real holocaust …
[Image Text: … Evil heretics and apostates say that if hundreds of thousands of Jews have survived it was because the Nazis wanted them to survive. If there really were extermination facilities, not many of these Jews would be around today. These sinister skeptics claim that such “survival” would only be a “miracle” if a few Jews survived … But when there hundreds of thousands of miraculous survivors, the fact that they survived was no miracle at all!
Nazi guard: Alright … C’mon and get to work!
Inmate 1: … Having to work like this is a real holocaust … It’ll be a miracle if I survive!
Inmate 2: Me too …
Inmate 3: Me three!]
Page 9: Mr. Weasel’s Miraculous Geysers of Blood
[Image Text: Mr. Weasel’s Miraculous Geysers of Blood.
Elie Wiesel is not only a miraculous gassing survivor, he’s also an eyewitness to a wonderful Miracle! … Wiesel, who recently won a Nobel “Oscar” in Stockholm for best tall tale of the Holohoax, has written that after the Nazis killed some Jews in Eastern Europe, the blood of the Jews began to spurt out of the ground in geysers! These geysers of Jewish blood … according to Mr. Weasel … continued to flow for months! (13)
Weasel: “ … Here you see the geysers of Jewish blood which have been spurting out of the piles of Jewish bodies in this field for the last two months. Do you see the geyser of Jewish blood flowing? … You must see it … even only as a metaphor for the guilt mankind must feel for the next six million years during which time you must all bow down to the Jewish blood you see flowing out of this geyser of shame.
You can’t see it? … Look hard!! The T.V. can see it, the newspaper editors can see it … God can see it … the tooth fairy , George Bush and Sammy Davis Jr. can see it! My aunt Sophie can see it … Yitzhak Shamir can see it … Why can’t you see the geysers of blood? … What are you, prejudiced or something!!!”]
Under a heading, “Mr. Weasel’s Miraculous Geysers of Blood,” there is a drawing of a man, presumably Elie Wiesel, who claims to see;
“geysers of Jewish blood which have been spurting out of the piles of Jewish bodies in this field for the last two months.”
The text at the top of this page tells the reader:
“Elie Wiesel is not only a miraculous gassing survivor, he’s also an eyewitness to a wonderful miracle! … Wiesel, who won a Nobel ‘Oscar’ in Stockholm for best tall tale of the Holohoax, has written that after the Nazis killed some Jews in eastern Europe, the blood of the Jews began to spurt out of the ground in geysers! These geysers of Jewish blood … according to Mr. Weasel … continued to flow for months! (13)”
The source cited here for this – Endnote 13 – is a book by Wiesel, The Jews of Silence, p. 48. Although I was not able to check this source directly, I did confirm that what is written here about Wiesel is not quite accurate.
Prof. Robert Faurisson, in his essay, “A Prominent False Witness: Elie Wiesel,” relates that Wiesel did not himself claim to have seen such “geysers,” but only that he heard this story from someone else. Citing the French edition of Wiesel’s book, Paroles d’étranger, Faurisson quotes Wiesel as writing that:
“Later, I learn from a witness that, for month after month, the ground never stopped trembling; and that, from time to time, geysers of blood spurted from it.”
Page 10: Alice in Lampshade Land
[The drawing on this page also appears on the front cover of this booklet.]
[Image Text: Alice in Lampshade Land ~
Sub-human, demon possessed, evil, wicked, vile neo-Nazi devil-monsters made bars of soap out of Jewish people’s fat and lampshades out of their skin, according to the official stories and rumors of media and classrooms, Yuck! What scum those Nazis were. The only scum lower than them would be someone who would make up such a story to falsely accuse the German people of horrible crimes they never committed.
But of course, even though no such supposed soap or lampshade was ever submitted to a science lab, to prove that it really did come from human fat, and that it was made by Germans; your teachers, reporters, and Judeo-Christian ministers will tell you, “The Germans really did make these monstrous things’ …Amen.”
Alice: … Oh my dear, is that you, Cheshire cat? … My word this Jewish wonderland is the strangest I’ve ever been in!
… Even Holohoaxers sometimes get fed up with the more egregious aspects of the hoax and thus as a kind of damage-control for preserving belief in the core of the tale (the gassings), two Jewish historians … Dr Raul Hilberg of the Univ. of Vermont and Prof. Deborah Lipstadt of U.C.L.A. have finally admitted in public that the stories about the Nazi lampshades and bars of soap stories are nothing but lies! (14)
But people still repeat the lampshade and soap stories anyway because after all … it’s only Germans that are being defamed. Moreover, what religious believer ever stopped believing in a holy wonderland just because science or evidence contradicted it?]
The drawing and text on this page, under the heading “Alice in Lampshade Land,” deals with two lurid Holocaust stories. The first is the widely-repeated story that bars of soap were manufactured from the corpses of murdered Jews. (The “Alice in Wonderland” character in the drawing is holding one of the legendary soap bars.) The second story is that lampshades were made from the skin of murdered Jews. In that regard, the face shown on the “lampshade” in the drawing here is a stereotypical Jewish face, with fleshy lips and a large, “Jewish” nose.
As the text at the lower part of this page indicates, historians now generally acknowledge that these two legendary stories are not true.
I am familiar with the sources or references cited here – Endnote 14. For example, I am familiar with press reports confirming that Deborah Lipstadt and Yehuda Bauer – two prominent Holocaust historians – now acknowledge that the “soap story” is not true.
According to Endnote 14, on page 15;
“similar anti-German atrocity propaganda about soap was invented during World War I (see Arthur Ponsonby, Falsehood in Wartime).”
This is not quite accurate. A chapter of the book Falsehood in Wartime deals with similar World War I stories about German manufacturing of lubricating oil, fertilizer and fats – but not soap – from the bodies of dead soldiers in “corpse factories.” (For more on this, see my “Jewish Soap” article, published in the Summer 1991 issue of The Journal of Historical Review. Posted at http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v11/v11p217_Weber.html )
With regard to the “lampshade story,” I can confirm that the source cited in Endnote 14 (page 15) is valid, although the citation is not very precise.
As far as I know, I am the first person to cite or quote from the remarks mentioned here by Lucius D. Clay about the lampshade story. That was in my article on the Buchenwald camp, published in the Winter 1986-87 issue of The Journal of Historical Review (posted at http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v07/v07p405_Weber.html )
I wrote that General Lucius D. Clay, Commander in Chief of U.S. Forces in Europe and Military Governor of the U.S. Occupation Zone of Germany, 1947-49, carefully reviewed the Ilse Koch case in 1948 and found that, whatever her other misdeeds, the lampshade charge was baseless. He commuted her sentence from life imprisonment to four years, and informed the Army Department in Washington:
“There is no convincing evidence that she [Ilse Koch] selected inmates for extermination in order to secure tattooed skins or that she possessed any articles made of human skin.”
I also quoted from a 1976 interview with Clay, in which he recalled:
“We tried Ilse Koch… She was sentenced to life imprisonment, and I commuted it to three [four] years. And our press really didn’t like that. She had been destroyed by the fact that an enterprising reporter who first went into her house had given her the beautiful name, the “Bitch of Buchenwald,” and he had found some white lampshades in there which he wrote up as being made out of human flesh … Well, it turned out actually that it was goat flesh. But at the trial it was still human flesh. It was almost impossible for her to have gotten a fair trial.”
Page 11: The Miraculous “Proof” that the Holocaust DID happen!
This page, headed “The Miraculous ‘Proof’ That the Holocaust Did Happen,” deals with the significance of the well-known photos of masses of dead bodies found in German concentration camps at the end of the war.
[Image Text:
Jewish Magician: Behold … the Most Wondrous Holohoax Miracle of them All
The Miraculous “Proof” that the Holocaust DID happen!
Reporter: … Here is the iron-clad proof that the Holocaust did happen! Look at those piles of bodies … Saying the Holocaust didn’t happen is like saying the war never happened … No one can deny the Holy Hoax and here’s the proof!
Sherlock: The hoaxers want you to assume these people were gassed to death. But does a pile of bodies prove how people died? Ask your teachers what they mean when they say there was a “Holocaust.”
Does “Holocaust” mean that people died from lack of food and typhus epidemics? No revisionists denies that. But if the establishment claims that the “Holocaust” means “Extermination by gas” … where is the proof?]
Everyone is familiar with the horrific photographs of dead and dying inmates found in concentration camps such as Bergen-Belsen and Nordhausen when they were liberated by British and American forces in the final weeks of the war in Europe. As suggested in the booklet text, many people accept these photos as proof of “the Holocaust.”
The booklet goes on to tell the reader that these dead inmates had died of “hunger or disease… like victims of any war in history… not from ‘gassings!’.” This is a valid point. The much-photographed dead and dying inmates found in camps liberated by American and British forces in 1945 were, in fact, victims of disease and malnutrition brought on by the complete collapse of Germany in the final months of the war. (For more on this, see my essay, “Bergen-Belsen : The Suppressed Story,” published in the May-June 1995 issue of The Journal of Historical Review. Posted at http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v15/v15n3p23_Weber.html )
Sherlock: If these people were killed by being “gassed to death” where are the autopsy reports stating this?
[Image Text:
Sherlock: If these people were killed by being “gassed to death” where are the autopsy reports stating this? There aren’t any such autopsy reports … All the autopsy repots show these corpses died from hunger or disease … like victims of any war in history … not from “gassings.”
Dr. Raul Hilberg a leading Jewish Holohoax historian and author of the book, “The Destruction of European Jewry,” admitted under oath at the 1985 Zundel Trial that there is not a single scientific report showing that any Jews died by gassing! (14)
“I’m at a loss” Hilberg told the court when asked to cite a single report! Dr William Eckert, chief pathologist for the International Reference Organization in Forensic Medicine and Sciences has also confirmed that there are no autopsies showing any Jew in the camps was gassed. (15)
Sherlock: Doubting the unscientific gas chamber superstition is not the same as saying, “The Holocaust didn’t happen” as anti-intellectual suppressionists like to pretend … W.W. II itself was a “Holocaust” for everyone involved, especially for the people of Germany, and W.W. II certainly happened. The concentration camps existed and Jews died … from combat, deprivation and disease … as in any religious or political war in history. No one denies this. But what we historical detectives and investigators do deny is the irrational, hysterical and plainly mendacious claims that Jews were gassed to death by Nazis. There is no scientific evidence for such nonsense and thinking people have the right to doubt it … It’s elementary, Watson.
Jewish Magician: … Sherlock, you’re ruining my Shoah business!
How can you deny that Jews were gassed when I have tattoos on my arm, a lampshade in my den and a bar of soap in my bath!
Sherlock Holmes is a Nazi! Down with Sherlock Holmes! Up with Elie and Yehuda and Yitzak and aunt Sophie and Sammy Davis, Jr! …]
As the booklet text relates here:
“If these people were killed by being ‘gassed to death’ where are the autopsy reports stating this? There aren’t any such autopsy reports … All the autopsy reports show these corpses died from hunger or disease … like victims of any war in history … not from ‘gassings.’ Dr. Raul Hilberg, a leading Jewish Holohoax historian and author of the book, ‘The Destruction of European Jewry’ admitted under oath at the 1985 Zundel trial that there is not a single scientific report showing that any Jew died by gassing! (14) ‘I’m at a loss’ Hilberg told the court when asked to cite a single report! Dr. William Eckert, chief pathologist for the International Reference organization in forensic medicine and sciences has also confirmed that there are not autopsies showing any Jew in the camps was gassed. (15).”
There are some mistakes or inaccuracies here. For one thing, Hilberg’s book is actually entitled The Destruction of the European Jews. It is true, as the booklet text relates, that in his testimony in the 1985 Zundel trial, Hilberg said that there are no autopsy reports showing that even a single person died from exposure to poisonous gas in chambers. However, Hilberg’s testimony is not inconsistent with the “standard” Holocaust story, because he and other Holocaust historians contend that the bodies of all Jews who were killed in gas chambers were cremated.
The footnote 14 given in the text here on this page is not valid. This note 14 should instead refer to Endnote 15 on page 15, which cites a Canadian Press (CP) report published in The Sault Star, a Canadian newspaper, about Hilberg’s testimony in 1985. This item is reproduced in full, apparently in facsimile, in The Great Holocaust Trial, a book by Michael A. Hoffman II (Third edition, 1995, p. 88). The date given on the facsimile is January 18, not January 16, 1985.
The footnote 15 given in the text here on this page is an apparent mistake. As already mentioned, endnote 15 on page 15 refers to a newspaper report about Hilberg’s testimony, and makes no mention of a William Eckert. I am not familiar with the claim made here attributed to “Dr. William Eckert,” nor was I able to find any independent confirmation of this finding by him.
Near the bottom of this page, the booklet’s author writes:
“Doubting the unscientific gas chamber superstition is not the same as saying “The Holocaust didn’t happen”, as anti-intellectual suppressionists like to pretend … W.W. II itself was a “Holocaust” for everyone involved, especially for the people of Germany, and W.W. II certainly happened.
The concentration camps existed and jews died … as in any religious or political war in history. No one denies this.
But what we historical detectives and investigators do deny is the irrational, hysterical and plainly mendacious claims that Jews were gassed to death by Nazis. There is no scientific evidence for such nonsense and thinking people have the right to doubt it.”
Evidence for wartime killings of Jews in gas chambers is less substantial or abundant than many assume. This point was made by Arno J. Mayer, a professor of history at Princeton University. In his book, Why Did the Heavens Not Darken? (Pantheon, 1989; pp. 362-363), this Jewish scholar wrote:
“Sources for the study of the gas chambers are at once rare and unreliable … there is no denying the many contradictions, ambiguities and errors in the existing sources.”
In this regard, it is also worth recalling that for years it was authoritatively claimed, and even “proven” in courts, that prisoners were killed in gas chambers at Dachau, Buchenwald and other concentration camps in Germany proper. Claims of homicidal gassings in those camps ultimately proved to be groundless, and are now rejected by all reputable historians.
All the same, to dismiss evidence for wartime killings of Jews in gas chambers as mere “nonsense” and “plainly mendacious” is unjustified.
It is true that some skeptics of the standard Holocaust story – who are routinely castigated as “deniers,” but referred to here in the booklet as “we historical detectives and investigators” – contend that there were no homicidal gassings of Jews during World War II. However, other skeptics, such as David Irving, accept that homicidal gassings of Jews did take place, or may have taken place.
Page 12: Crimes by the Jews Not Reported by the News …
On this page, under the heading “Crimes by Jews Not Reported in the News,” is text and three drawings that depict Jews with unattractive, exaggerated features. Jewish pretensions of love for all humanity are contrasted with vicious remarks by some Jews about non-Jews (gentiles).
[Image Text:
Crimes by the Jews
Not Reported by the News …
Our “uncensored” news media forgot to tell you a thing or two about those war criminals they love to worship … Israeli war criminal and zionist war crimes. The Media Image:
Three Jewish Angels: We love everyone … We believe in peace, equality, tolerance and love for all mankind. Let all men come together as brothers and sisters … Let us love one another as our prophets and sages have told us … The world need more brotherhood and love and peace … We must all combat BIGOTRY, HATE and RACISM!
The Reality: Even the best gentiles should be killed!
In the middle of this page, in a portion headed “The Reality,” Rabbi Simon ben Yohai (Shimon bar Yohai) is quoted from the Talmud as telling his fellow Jews that “… Even the best of the Gentiles should all be killed.”
[Image Text:
The Reality:
Rabbi: Even the best gentiles should be killed?*
* LITERALLY, “Tob shebe goyyim harog.” The word “goyim” calls Gentiles (non-jews) cattle. This slogan comes from the Talmud, the Jewish holy book! It was uttered by the Zionist’s most revered “prophet and sage” Rabbi Simon ben Yohai, whose grave in Israel is a national shrine. The accuracy of this quotation is verified in the article titled “Gentiles” in the Jewish Encyclopedia, edited by Isodre Singer.
The genocidal and racist mentality of the modern Zionist is evident as well … for example, in 1986, Israeli Army Chief Chaplain Shmuel Derlich issued an order to the Israeli army to exterminate all Germans to the last man, woman and child. (“The Nation” magazine, Aug. 16, 1986, p. 103. For further testimony of hatred and racism toward non-jews see Jewess Evelyn Kaye’s book “The Hole in the Sheet,” (16))
Israeli Army Sermon Israel, Summer 1986
Army Chief Derlich: You Israeli soldiers must exterminate the Amalek-Germans to the last man, woman and child … this a mitzvah … KILL THEM ALL!]
The authenticity of this Talmudic quote has been confirmed by reputable specialists, including British scholar and explorer Sir Richard F. Burton, in his book The Jew, The Gypsy and El Islam (1898 edition, p. 119); Rabbi Mordechai Friedfertig, in his essay “Divrei Moredchai – Our Sacred Texts”; Jewish American scholar David Klinghoffer, in a 1994 item, “Among Strangers”; and, Jewish scholar Israel Shahak, a Holocaust survivor and, for years, a professor in Israel, in his book, Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years (London: Pluto, 1994), pp. 78-80.
A more complete and accurate rendering of this quote is:
“The best of the non-Jews should be killed. The best of the snakes, their skulls should be crushed.”
Some Jewish commentators express embarrassment over the ferocity of this statement, and try to play down its importance. All the same, the basic Jewish attitude toward non-Jews, as expressed in the Talmud, is hardly a loving one. In his book Jewish History, Jewish Religion (page 80), Israel Shahak writes:
“As for gentiles, the basic Talmudic principle is that their lives must not be saved, although it is forbidden to murder them outright.”
At the bottom of this booklet page is a hateful injunction attributed to Israeli Army Chief Chaplain Shmuel Derlich. Although I was not able to confirm the accuracy of this specific injunction, or to check the reference given here for it (The Nation, August 16, 1986), I can confirm that comparable remarks have been made by similarly prominent Israelis.
In Jewish History, Jewish Religion, (pp. 76, 113, n. 7), Israel Shahak cites an exhortation to Israeli soldiers by the Chief Chaplain of the Israeli Army’s Central Region Command, Colonel Rabbi A. Avidan (Zemel). In a booklet published in 1973 for Israeli troops, the rabbi declared:
“When our forces come across civilians during a war or in hot pursuit or in a raid, so long as there is no certainty that those civilians are incapable of harming our forces, then according to the Halakha [Jewish religious law] they may and even should be killed … Under no circumstances should an Arab be trusted, even if he makes an impression of being civilized … In war, when our forces storm an enemy, they are allowed and even enjoined by the Halakha to kill even good civilians, that is, civilians who are ostensibly good.”
Shahak also relates (page 91):
“In fact, it is not uncommon for reserve soldiers called up for to do a tour of duty in the Gaza Strip to be given an ‘educational lecture’ in which they are told that the Palestinians of Gaza are ‘like the Amalekites.’ … There are many similar examples of bloodthirsty rabbinical pronouncements against the Palestinians, based on these laws.”
Shahak goes on to explain to readers of his book (pages 96-97) that:
“Anyone who lives in Israel knows how deep and widespread these attitudes of hatred and cruelty to towards all Gentiles are among the majority of Israeli Jews … Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity, combined with ignorance about it.”
Endnote 16 (on page 15) cites the book Jewish History, Jewish Religion, by Israel Shahak, and another book co-authored by Shahak. I am familiar with the first of these two works. I was not able to check The Nation item mentioned here in the text.
Page 13: Jews beaten and whipped by Nazi commandant Hoess
On this page, and on page 14, television reports (exaggerated or untrue) of German Holocaust crimes against Jews are sharply contrasted with atrocities and crimes reportedly committed by Jews, especially Israelis, against non-Jews. The reality of Israel’s often brutal and criminal treatment of non-Jews in the occupied territories is, of course, well known and abundantly documented. The author of this booklet is by no means the first or only person to write indignantly about “western taxpayers” support for Israel, in spite of the Zionist state’s harsh and illegal policies.

Three TV viewers: Those terrible Nazis!
TV Caption: Beirut, Lebanon, August 1982
After the Israeli invasion of Lebanon the Israeli air force indiscriminately bombed clearly marked schools and hospitals. Researcher Alexander Cockburn states that Israeli forces have been responsible for 200,000 deaths since 1948 (“The Nation” magazine, June 23, 1984, p. 754). Yet there is virtually no move to cut-off Western taxpayer support of this carnage. The West has armed and bankrolled this Zionist murder-spree for more than forty years. (For graphic documentation of the Israeli Air Force holocaust against Lebanon see the tightly suppressed book “God Cried” by Tony Clifton, Quartet Books, 1983.)]

Concern for the Jewish ghosts of the 1930’s and 40’s is infinitely greater than concern for the welfare of flesh and blood humanity suffering and dying in Palestine …

Israeli soldier: … Ha-ha … Isn7t Holocaust propaganda great? … It keeps people’s minds centred on the past while the Palestinians people of today are massacred.
The media-induced fixation with only one war, one war crime and one nation of supposed war criminals has served as a handy focus for attention away from Israeli murders not only of the present but also of the past …]
The reader is told here:
“The media-induced fixation with only one war, one war crime and one nation of supposed war criminals has served as a handy focus for attention away from Israeli murders not only of the present but also of the past.”
This same point has been made by many others, including a number of Jewish writers.
Amira Hass, an award-winning Israeli journalist and author, for example, says that Israel has turned “the Holocaust” into a “political asset.” In an April 2007 column in the influential Israeli daily Haaretz, she wrote:
“Turning the Holocaust into a political asset serves Israel primarily in its fight against the Palestinians. When the Holocaust is on one side of the scale, along with the guilty (and rightly so) conscience of the West, the dispossession of the Palestinian people from their homeland in 1948 is minimized and blurred.”
“The phrase ‘security for the Jews’ has been consecrated as an exclusive synonym for ‘the lessons of the Holocaust.’ It is what allows Israel to systematically discriminate against its Arab citizens … Turning the Holocaust into an asset allows Israel to present all the methods of the Palestinian struggle (even the unarmed ones) as another link in the anti-Semitic chain whose culmination is Auschwitz …”
“Separating the genocide of the Jewish people from the historical context of Nazism and from its aims of murder and subjugation, and its separation from the series of genocides perpetrated by the white man outside of Europe, has created a hierarchy of victims, at whose head we stand … Whoever criticizes Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians is denounced as an anti-Semite, if not a Holocaust denier… The transformation of the Holocaust into a political asset for use in the struggle against the Palestinians feed on those same stores of official cynicism, but it is part of the consensus.”
Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish scholar who teaches at DePaul University in Chicago, wrote in his bestselling book, The Holocaust Industry, that “invoking The Holocaust” is “a ploy to delegitimize all criticism of Jews.” He added:
“By conferring total blamelessness on Jews, the Holocaust dogma immunizes Israel and American Jewry from legitimate censure… Organized American Jewry has exploited the Nazi holocaust to deflect criticism of Israel ‘s and its own morally indefensible policies.”
This view is echoed by another Jewish scholar, Tony Judt, who is director of the Remarque Institute at New York University. In a piece published in early 2005 in The Nation, he wrote:
“The Shoah [Hebrew term for Holocaust] is frequently exploited in America and Israel to deflect and forbid any criticism of Israel. Indeed, the Holocaust of Europe’s Jews is nowadays exploited thrice over: It gives American Jews in particular a unique, retrospective ‘victim identity’; it allows Israel to trump any other nation’s sufferings (and justify its own excesses) with the claim that the Jewish catastrophe was unique and incomparable; and (in contradiction to the first two) it is adduced as an all-purpose metaphor for evil – anywhere, everywhere and always – and taught to schoolchildren all over America and Europe without any reference to context or cause. This modern instrumentalization of the Holocaust for political advantage is ethically disreputable and politically imprudent.”

Communist leadership consisted of hundreds of Jews
In the middle of this booklet page (p. 14) is a drawing and some text about the Jewish role in the early Soviet regime, and crimes committed by Jews who served the Soviet state.
[Image Text:
TV: … The Nazis fed Jewish babies to a pack of rabid German Sheperds … One million Jewish infants killed in this manner …
Man with pipe: Those stinking Nazis …Look at that … How gross!
Soviet (Jewish) soldier: … Die, you Christian goyim! We will all be avenged now that we rule Russia.
The early communist leadership in Russia consisted of hundreds of Jews like Leon Trotsky, Moses Uritsky, Apfelbaum (Zinoviev) and the half-Jew Lenin. They made up the highest ranks of the Secret Police and Red Army. These alien communists hated the Christian people of Russia and ordered the murder of tens of thousands of them.
The very first law ever promulgated in the official communist newspaper “Izvestia” (July 27, 1918) made opposition to Jews a crime punishable by death.
Apfelbaum wrote in “Krasnava Gazeta” (Aug. 31, 1918), demanding that an ocean of blood wash over the Christian people of Russia. “Let there be floods of blood … more blood! As much as possibly.”
The Gulag death camps were devised by a Turkish Jew, Naftaly Frenkel (Solzhenitsyn, “Gulag Archipelago” Vol. 2).
There has never been a single movie on T.V. showing the atrocities committed against the Christian people of Eastern Europe but there have been over 500 movies made about “What Nazis Did,” No Jewish-Communist war criminal has ever been prosecuted or sought for the mass murder of Christians.]
It is indeed true, as the booklet relates here, that such misdeeds are not well known. This point was made recently by Sever Plocker, chief economics editor of Israel’s largest circulation daily newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth. In an essay, “Stalin’s Jews,” posted on the Ynet News website (Dec. 21. 2006), he wrote:
“An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name Genrikh Yagoda, the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU’s deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin’s collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least ten million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system…”
“Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We’ll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD’s special department and the organization’s chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.”
“In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin … Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history … I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.”
(For more on the Jewish role in the Bolshevik seizure of power and in Russia’s early Soviet regime, see my essay on this, posted at http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v14/v14n1p- 4_Weber.html )
As significant as the Jewish role was in the Bolshevik takeover of Russia and the early Soviet regime, this role is sometimes exaggerated. For example, it is not true, as claimed here in this booklet, that Lenin was “half-Jewish.” His ancestry was one-quarter Jewish. The booklet reader is also told that:
“The very first law ever promulgated in the official Communist newspaper ‘Izvestia’ (July 27, 1918) made opposition to Jews a crime punishable by death.”
In fact, numerous laws and decrees were promulgated by the young Soviet regime and publicly issued in the seven or so months following the Bolshevik seizure of power on November 6-7, 1917.
Dresden, Germany, Feb 14-15, 1945
A valid point is made in the text at the bottom of this page, in noting the “authentic Holocaust” of Allied bombing during World War II. This campaign took the lives of some 500,000 or 600,000 Germans, overwhelmingly civilians, including tens of thousands in the infamous fire-bombing of Dresden on February 13-14, 1945.
[Image Text:
TV: … Here you see the Jews being pushed into giant food mixer devised by the fiendish Gestapo … One million Jewish Rabbis died in this blender.
Boyfriend: Wow! … I never knew that … Those Nazi pigs!
Debbie: T.V. is so informative!
Caption: Dresden, Germany, Feb 14-15, 1945
If there was an authentic Holocaust in World War II it was the burning alive of approximately half a million German woman, children and other civilians in deliberate allied air force fire-bombings of the civilian quarters of every major city. In Dresden, Germany, a medieval city of no military significance, British and U.S. bombers intentionally burned alive tens of thousands of German woman and children, on orders of Winston Churchill and with the approval of roosevelt.
The agony, horror and screams of these innocent German woman and children are not heard on our T.V. sets. The war criminals who perpetrated this mass murder are not sought … nor prosecuted.]

“Many of the ‘Jews’ today are Khazars posing as Jews …”
In the text at the top of this page, the reader is told that;
“most of those who call themselves ‘Jews’ today have no blood relation or ancestral link to the Israelites but are in fact imposters,” and that “many of the ‘Jews’ today are Khazars posing as Jews …”
Over the years some plausible evidence has been presented to support the view that most Ashkenazi Jews are not of Hebraic ancestry, but instead are descendants of the Khazars, a central Asiatic people. However, the balance of modern scholarship on this question does not support this view.
Beating of French Professor Robert Faurisson
In the text at the bottom of the page, mention is made of the savage beating of French professor Robert Faurisson on September 16, 1989, and of some of the arrests, prison ordeals and acts of terror against Ernst Zundel. These points are valid, and have been abundantly verified. For more about the persecution of and terror against Faurisson and other Holocaust skeptics, see, for example, my 1993 publication, “The Zionist Terror Network,” the text of which is posted at http://www.ihr.org/books/ztn.html).
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC
As a kind of conclusion, the reader of this booklet is told:
“The wild fables about homicidal gas chambers have become the parables of an informal state religion of the West. Government, schools and media inflict this morbid, funereal mindset on young people, to instill guilt and as a form of group-libel/hate propaganda against White people, especially Germans. There is a synagogue masquerading as a museum in Washington, D.C. supported by public funds (the U.S. Holocaust Museum), which is the first cathedral to the first state-established religion in American history, and a similar shrine has been installed in London ‘s Imperial War Museum. People who question the central assumptions of the gas chamber cult are denounced as heretics; belief is supposed to be automatic. Everyone has the right to ask questions and to read books which given an alternative view – there are always two sides to a story. The gas chamber dogma can only maintain credibility through censorship, lies and suppression of debate. You have the right to doubt, to scepticism and to scientific proof. However, there is no scientific proof of homicidal gassings, as was admitted by Jewish historian Dr.Raul Hilberg (transcript of the trial of Ernst Zundel, Ontario, Canada, Jan. 17, 1985, pp. 968-969.)”
The language here is polemical and overstated. For example, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, is not a “synagogue masquerading as a museum.” All the same, the writer makes some valid points here. I have made similar points myself in my essay “Holocaust Remembrance: What’s Behind the Campaign?” (posted at http://www.ihr.org/leaflets/holocaust_remembrance.shtml).
It is not an exaggeration to assert, for example, that “the Holocaust” now has a semi-religious status in western society. Rabbi Michael Goldberg, a Jewish author and religious leader, says that for many Jews the “veneration” of the Holocaust has become a new religion. In his 1995 book, Why Should Jews Survive?, he goes on to write:
“And as with any organized church, this Holocaust cult has its own tenets of faith, rites, and shrines.”

Back Cover/ Page 16: Ye Olde Gas Bag
On the back cover, under the heading “Ye Olde Gas Bag,” are drawings of a “Jewish Holocaust survivor” with an unattractive, stereotypical “Jewish face,” and accompanying text in which the “survivor” character makes obviously absurd and mendacious statements.
[Image Text:
Gas Bag: … Let’s see … I was gassed six times … No, ten times! … Twice at Auschwitz, five at Buchenwald, three times at Treblinka, nine times at Dachau, four times in Belzec and once in San Quentin … And there are five million, nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine like me in Brooklyn.
Gas Bag: Everyone must remember from now till doomsday, that I only escaped the ovens by a miracle. But 25 of my aunts, 16 of my uncles, 42 of my cousins, three of my parents and all my children were gassed.
One Nazi S.S. Officer … He must have been at least seven feet tall … smashed my infant’s brains out on the floor with a sledgehammer … His boss, Mengele, kept human eyeballs pinned to his office wall. Oh, it was terrible!
Nobody suffered like I suffered. Those Germans were devils, and if I live a thousand years I will never forgive and never forget that they tried to turn me into a lampshade …
Gas Bag: Hollywood hasn’t made enough Holocaust movies. Americans should be forced to see those movies 24 hours a day and step up your payments to Israel, you Americans …We could use the money for my son’s new casino he’s building in Atlantic City.
Soon I’m going to start my own Holocaust museum. For ten bucks I’ll show you my tattoo. The lampshades, the soap, the gas cannisters, the hair, false teeth, eyeballs, my Auschwitz uniform and if you pay a few shekels more I’ll even show you the uniform I wore when I was a poor persecuted commissar in the Soviet NKVD …
Is the camera off yet? No? … O.K. … Oh, it was terrible … You’re all guilty, you didn’t do enough to stop it. Nobody suffered like we suffered. They tried to turn me into a bar of soap … But I escaped. It was a miracle. But they did turn aunt Sophie into a pair of alligator boots that I saw Himmler wearing once … then they gassed me … 50 times … no, it was one hundred times, I remember now …
Cameraman and muscian: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]
Even though (and as already mentioned) many claims by Holocaust survivors have proven to be false or overwrought, I am not aware of any Jewish survivor making claims as outlandish as those presented here.
Because this page’s text is so hyperbolical and unspecific, I am unfortunately not able to evaluate it as a historian.
Summary
While it is true that many claims by Jewish Holocaust survivors are indeed groundless or extravagant, the main focus of this frankly satirical and polemical booklet on such claims may be misleading or unfair, given the undeniable reality that large numbers of Jews were mercilessly put to death during World War II. For example, and as I have testified, many tens of thousands of Jews were killed by German units in mass shootings in the occupied Soviet territories, notably in 1941 by the notorious “Einsatzgruppen.”
At the outbreak of World War II in 1939, there were hundreds of Jewish communities scattered across eastern and central Europe, especially in eastern Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine. But these communities, with their many hundreds of thousands of Jewish inhabitants, were eradicated during the war years. Given this grim reality, the survival of at least some of the Jews who were alive at the end of the war in Europe was indeed fortuitous, if not “miraculous.”
This booklet is on more solid ground in its treatment of what Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein calls “the Holocaust industry,” and in highlighting the double standard of western society that sanctions a kind of “hate propaganda” against Germans and other Europeans in the context of “Holocaust remembrance,” while prohibiting a comparable emphasis on Jewish or Zionist misdeeds.
