Deceit & Misrepresentation
The Techniques of Holocaust Denial
Appendix 1
Carlos Porter & Schindler's List
-
[The Nizkor technique has
always been to pick a small number of points, usually from the very beginning
of an article because they are too lazy to read any further, create confusion
without proving anything, then pontificate about revisionist "deceit and
misrepresentation". In this case, the harm done is minimal because the
original article by PORTER is reproduced on the same site, although in a
different file.
The only important points made by Nizkor in their
"refutation" involve a deliberate confusion between Degesch
disinfestation chambers and homicidal gas chambers, followed by a reference to
an "official German document" to which no reference is given by
Nizkor. The document is a forgery which I have reproduced on this site.]
ORIGINAL TEXT BY PORTER
[posted
by Dan Gannon, but never posted on CODOH in English simply because the
references are in French]
Dear Sirs,
It might be noted that the
book SCHINDLER'S LIST (an admitted work of fiction) contains the following
factual assertions which are UNTRUE:
CLAIM: Zyklon becomes instantly gaseous (page 432 of
French J'AI LU paperback translation)
CLAIM: Zyklon served no purpose other than mass
murder. Zyklon and crematory ovens are proof of mass murder (pages 159, 417).
CLAIM: Crematory ovens burn
corpses in a few minutes (page 484)
CLAIM: Corpses can be burnt in pyres by dousing them with gasoline (page 343)
TRUTH: requirement: 200
litres of petrol or 100 kg dry wood per corpse; time: up to 24 hrs.
CLAIM: Human ashes are so
light in weight that they float through the air, like pollution (page 343)
TRUTH: actual weight: 2-5 kg
of bone fragments up to 2 inches in length, enough to fill a cigar box.
CLAIM: Kurt Gerstein is
taken seriously (page 433).
TRUTH: Gerstein was tortured
into signing Document PS 1553, typewritten in French, after which his body
mysteriously disappeared. There are 6 different versions of the document, one
of them a forgery. He claims that 700-900 people could be crushed into a
chamber "25, 45 m3", survive almost 3 hrs, and be gassed with Diesel
exhaust. Diesel exhaust contains almost no carbon monoxide at idle.
CLAIM: The "human hair
booties for U-boat crews" (Document
USSR-511) are taken seriously (page 327)
TRUTH: The document is a
Soviet "photocopy" with a typewritten heading, typewritten signature,
and 2 German stamps. No human hair socks have ever been found. Only Negro hair
can be felted. The Germans invented nylon in 1938.
CLAIM: There was no way to
combat typhus except by boiling clothing (page 260). Oskar Schindler was the
only person to steam clothing, providing the only preventive measure against
typhus (pages 456, 457)
TRUTH: see note on Zyklon.
The book also makes the
following factual admissions, all TRUE:
TRUE: Most Holocaust
"proofs" are of Polish or Soviet communist origin(pages 342, 417,
520)
TRUE: Many Jews are Marxists
who forged thousands of German documents, fabricating German stamps by the
hundreds (pages 182, 251, 285, 458, 459, 460, 474)
TRUE: Concentration camp
inmates died of epidemic disease including scarlet fever, typhoid, dysentery,
and typhus (pages 353, 421, 445, 449)
TRUE: Auschwitz was a swamp,
full of mud, snow, and ice (pages 415, 416, 419, 421, 438) (forgetting to tell
us that the funeral pyres were in holes in the ground, according to Document USSR-8, a Soviet "War Crimes
Report" which is our principal source of information).
TRUE: All concentration
camps were industrial installations with huge factories . (pages 327, 413, 421)
All camps contained hospitals. (page 439).
TRUE: There was a children's
camp at Auschwitz. (page 520)
Inmate labour was required
for industrial purposes.(which is the whole point of both the book and film).
Obviously, if only the
"unfit" were gassed (which is not true; if so, why build hospitals?),
there was no attempt to exterminate the Jewish people "as a whole".
Faithfully,
[signed]

NIZKOPROPHAGIC "REFUTATION":
Writer: Mike Stein [Continued]
[NOTE: The
"refutation" starts here, but erroneously says "continued".
There used to be a first half of the article which disappeared a year or two
back for reasons best known to Nizkor.- C.P.]
Porter continues: " ... contains the following factual assertions
which are UNTRUE: CLAIM: Zyklon becomes instantly gaseous [CLAIM: Zyklon
becomes instantly gaseous p. 432 of French J'AI LU paperback translation- C.P.] [p. 432: "Zyklon B - ces petits
cristaux d'acide qui se desintegrent au contact de l'air" [!]
NIZKOPROPHAGIC REFUTATION: This is the real text of the book: [Hoess]
saw himself as a technician. As champion of Zyklon B, the hydrogen cyanide
pellets which give off fumes when exposed to air
TRUTH: actual dosage: 16 gr/m2 over a 24 hour exposure to kill clothes
moths according to Document
NI-9912, Directions for Use of Zyklon. The area must be ventilated for 2
days.
NIZKOPROPHAGIC REFUTATION: The whole truth: the speed with which the
cyanide is released depends on the temperature
And if [!!!] there are
blowers
[COMMENT: note that no
source is given, and that the text is botched.- C.P.]
all [!] had a safe and relatively
quick means of producing and dispersing a lethal concentration of cyanide
throughout each chamber; specially coated and insulated walls to maintain a
minimum temperature and reduce cyanide penetration and loss; and circulation
blowers and ductwork to thoroughly ventilate the chambers with fresh air in
about one hour after a batch of victims
would
also have been heated, contrary to another Faurisson claim
Porter: CLAIM: Zyklon served no purpose other than mass murder. Zyklon
and crematory ovens are proof of mass murder (pages 159, 417).
[p.417: "Ils avaient vu la fumee
s'elever en permanence au-dessus des crematoires et des buchers en depits de
rumeurs les Russes avaient decouvert dans le camps de Lublin cinq cents
caissons de Zylon B et plusieurs fours crematoires contenant des ossements
humains"]
NIZKOPROPHAGIC REFUTATION: In the text which most closely corresponds
to this description, Keneally says: "Late the previous year, Schindler had
seen in the SS Bulletin of Budget and Construction an invitiation for bids for
the construction of some crematoria in a camp southeast of Lublin.
Belzec." (24)
Looking further, we find: (25) "The Schindler women had not been precisely
informed of the statistics of Birkenau or of the Auschwitz duchy in itself.
They could see, though, beyond the birch trees at the western end of the
enormous settlement, constant smoke [!] rising
from the four crematoria[!] and the
numerous pyres. They believed they were adrift now, and that the tide would
take them down there. But not with all the capacity for making and believing
rumors [!] that characterizes a life
in prison would they have guessed [!!!]
how many people could be gassed there on a day when the system worked well. The
number was - according to Hoess - nine thousand [!!!]
The women were equally unaware that they had arrived in Auschwitz at a
time when the progress of the war and certain secret negotiations between
Himmler and the Swedish Count Folke Bernadotte were imposing a new direction on
it. The secret of the exermination centers had not been kept, for the Russians [!] had excavated the Lublin camp and
found the furnaces [!] containing
human bones [!] and more than five
hundred drums of Zyklon B [!]. News
of this was published throughout the world, and Himmler, who wanted to be
treated seriously as obvious postwar successor to the Fuhrer, was willing to
make promises to the Allies that the gassing of Jews would stop. He did not,
however, issue an order on the matter until some time in October - the date is
not certain
Porter: TRUTH: Zyklon was invented as a fumigant in 1922, and is
marketed today under the trade name Cyanosil. Crematory oven technology dates
back to the 1890s. [For example, see 1911 Encylopaedia Britannica,
"Cremation", and especially "Destructors". If crematory
ovens -- or any form or coke, coal, or oil-fired furnace -- had to emit smoke,
the Spanish-American War would have been fought with sailing vessels, because a
column of black smoke would have alerted the enemy as to the location of our
warships.]
NIZKOPROPHAGIC REFUTATION: The whole truth: While in the quote above
[COMMENT: lifted from the autobiography
of Rudolf Hoess again; since the technology is over a century old, couldn't we
do better?- C.P.]
, Auschwitz-Birkenau had a maximum killing capacity of 9,000 per day[!], an official document [!]
The German wording of the document is rather strange: instead of "corpses" it refers to "persons". Instead of "Im
Auftrag", i.e., "On Behalf Of", or "In Vetretung",
i.e., "In Representation Of", the form usually employed in German
correspondence, it states "Für die Richtigkeit der Abschrift", i.e.,
"Certified True Copy". This is the form ordinarily used when a copy
has been re-typed for use in court, i.e., there is no pretence that this is an
original document. This is followed by the handwritten signature of a more or
less unknown person, and should probably be accompanied by a stamp. There are
no stamps anywhere on the document. Since the document is supposed to
constitute proof of mass murder, it seems remarkable that the letter is not
marked "Secret", i.e. "Geheim", "Geheime
Kommandosache", Geheime Reichsache", etc. - C.P.]

[Back to the drawing board
(or the manure pile) for the nizkoprophagists (a.k.a. Nizkor).]
On poison gas warfare, see:
- Julius Meyer, Der Gaskampf
und die chemischen Kampstoffe, Leipzig, 1922 (discusses approximately 160
different WWI chemical warfare agents, their usage and effectiveness) (one page from this book is reproduced on this site);
- 1922 Encyclopaedia Britannica, Poison Gas Warfare (extremely detailed);
- 1938 Enciclopedia Italiana, Gas,
asfissianti (rather astonishing in some ways; this classical prestige reference work, inspired by the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, is available in many large European reference libraries).
