3) The problem of Crematoriums:

  • At the Auschwitz I camp there were only 6 crematory ovens. At the hospital in Auschwitz II there are 46 single cremators. In the Lubin camp there were only 6. THAT'S ALL! In these three camps 3 to 4 million Jews were supposed to have been exterminated and their bodies cremated.
  • These cremation ovens were very small with only 18' doors and required from 4 to 6 hours to burn each body.

4) There is no evidence of concentration camps showing smoke and flames belching from the crematoria and pyres as alleged.

What is the holocaust?

lk

  • The Holocaust also known as the Shoah , was a genocide in which it was said approximately six million Jews were killed by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.

  • To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community.

  • After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler’s “final solution” came to fruition under the cover of world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps of occupied Poland.

Mein Kampf

My Struggle

The Questions Arise:

1) The numbers of victims don’t add up:

  • Common belief is that 6 million Jews were killed in the holocaust. Everybody knows that there were not 6,000,000 Jews in Europe in 1941.

2) The problem of massing gassing:

  • In 1945 it was announced that gas death chambers existed in all concentration camps in Poland, Germany, Austria and Alsace.
  • Some 15 years later, in 1960, this was revised to the new claim that gas chambers existed only in camps located in Soviet held Poland.

Volume 1

The Writing of Mein Kampf

5) Mythologysts claim that 120 thousand people per month could be cremated at Auschwitz.

• The first volume of Mein Kampf was written mostly during Hitler’s stay in Landsbergis . It consisted of 12 chapters .

• This volume covered Hitler’s childhood through the initial development of the Nazi Party.

• The text itself only uses Hitler’s life events as a springboard for long-winded diatribes against those he viewed as inferior.

• Hitler also frequently wrote against Communism.

• He also wrote that the present German government was failing the German people and that his plan would save Germany from future ruin.

When it comes to this point lets just do the math:

  • Assume that each cadaver weighs 125 pounds; crematoria can dispose of 150 lbs/hr.,
  • therefore, you would need 139 ovens working 24/7 to cremate 120,000 people/month.
  • There were only 46 ovens at Auschwitz and the crematoria could not and did not operatae 24/7.

• Life in Landsbergis prison was far from difficult for Hitler.

• He was permitted to mingle with other prisoners, including his personal secretary, Rudolf Hess.

• During their time together in Landsbergis, Hess served as Hitler’s personal typist while Hitler dictated some of the work that would become known as first volume of Mein Kampf.

• Hitler decided to write Mein Kampf for a two-fold purpose: to share his ideology with his followers and also to help recoup some of the legal expenses from his trial.

Volume 2

Introduction

• Volume two of Mein Kampf, subtitled “The National Socialist Movement,” consisted of 15 chapters.

• This volume was intended to cover how the Nazi Party was founded; however, it was more of a rambling discourse of Hitler’s political ideology.

• In this second volume, Hitler layed out his goals for future German success.

• Crucial to the success of Germany, Hitler believed, was gaining more “living space” .

• He wrote that this gain should be made by first spreading the German empire to the East.

  • A political manifesto written by Adolf Hitler. It was his only complete book and became the bible of National Socialism (Nazism) in Germany’s Third Reich. It was published in two volumes.

  • Hitler originally wanted to call his forthcoming book Viereinhalb Jahre (des Kampfes) gegen Lüge, Dummheit und Feigheit, or Four and a Half Years (of Struggle) Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice.

  • Max Amann, Hitler's publisher, is said to have suggested "Mein Kampf" or "My Struggle”.

Main Idea

• In his book, Hitler divides humans into categories based on physical appearance.

• At the top is the Germanic man . Hitler refers to this type of person as an Aryan.

• In Hitler's thinking, if there is a supreme form of human, then there must be others less than supreme, the Untermenschen, or racially inferior.

• Hitler assigns this position to Jews and the Slavic peoples, notably the Czechs, Poles, and Russians.
