\u201cThe Problem of the Gas Chambers\u00a0[1]\u201c<\/strong>\u00a0or \u201cThe Rumour of Auschwitz\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Via L\u2019archive Faurisson<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

No-one questions the use of crematoria in certain German camps. The mere frequency of epidemics throughout Europe at war demanded the cremation, for example, of the bodies of typhus victims (see photographs).<\/p>\n

It is the existence of \u201cgas chambers\u201d, veritable slaughterhouses for humans, that is called into question. Since 1945, the questioning has been growing. The mass media are aware of this fact.<\/p>\n

In 1945, the official historiography affirmed that the \u201cgas chambers\u201d had been used in the former (pre-1938) Reich as well as in Austria, in Alsace as well as in Poland. Fifteen years later, in 1960, it revised its judgment: \u201cgas chambers\u201d had operated, \u201cfirst and foremost\u201d (?), only in Poland\u00a0[2]<\/strong>. This drastic revision of 1960 reduced to naught a thousand \u201ctestimonies\u201d, a thousand \u201cproofs\u201d of alleged gassings at Oranienburg, at Buchenwald, at Bergen-Belsen, at Dachau, at Ravensbr\u00fcck, at Mauthausen. Appearing before British or French judicial bodies, the heads of Ravensbr\u00fcck camp (Suhren, Schwarzhuber, Dr Treite) had admitted the existence of a \u201cgas chamber\u201d whose functioning they had even, in a vague manner, described. A comparable scenario had been acted out by Ziereis, of Mauthausen, or by Kramer, of Struthof. After the deaths of those condemned men it was discovered that those gassings had never taken place. Flimsiness of testimonies and confessions!<\/p>\n

The \u201cgas chambers\u201d of Poland \u2014 as will surely be admitted in time \u2014 had no more reality about them. It is to the Polish and Soviet judicial bodies that we owe most of our information on them (see, for instance, the horrifying confession of R. H\u00f6ss:\u00a0Commandant of Auschwitz<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s visitor to Auschwitz or Majdanek discovers, in the way of \u201cgas chambers\u201d, facilities in which any gassings would have spelt catastrophe for the gassers and their entourage. A collective execution by gas, supposing that it were practicable, could not at all be likened either to a suicidal or to an accidental gassing. In order to gas a single convict at a time, with his wrists and ankles shackled, the Americans employ a special gas [hydrogen cyanide] within a small space, from which, after its use, it is extracted and subsequently neutralised. So then, how could two thousand people (and even three thousand) be held in an enclosure of 210 square metres (!), at Auschwitz, for example, to have a common and powerful insecticide called Zyklon B poured onto them (!); finally, just after the victims\u2019 death, how could a team be sent, without gas masks, into that place saturated with hydrogen cyanide in order to remove the cyanide-infused corpses? Some too little-known documents\u00a0[3]<\/strong>\u00a0show, moreover: 1) That the structure in question, which the Germans are said to have blown up shortly before their departure, was nothing but a typical morgue (Leichenkeller<\/em>), built underground (to protect it from the warmth of the air) and fitted with a single small door for entry and exit; 2) That the Zyklon B could not be evacuated by a rapid ventilation and that it needed at least twenty-one hours to evaporate. Whereas thousands of documents on the Auschwitz crematoria (including invoices precise to the last Pfennig) are in our possession, neither a directive to build, nor a study, nor an order for building materials, nor a blueprint, nor a bill, nor any photograph is attested as regards the \u201cgas chambers\u201d, which, we are told, adjoined those crematoria. At a hundred trials (Jerusalem, Frankfurt, etc.), no evidence has been produced.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at Auschwitz. There were no \u2018gas chambers\u2019 there.\u201d Those who dare to bear witness on behalf of the accused by pronouncing that sentence are hardly listened to. They are prosecuted. Still in 1978, anyone in Germany who speaks out in favour of Thies Christophersen, author of\u00a0Die Auschwitz-L\u00fcge<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>(\u201cThe Auschwitz Lie\u201d), risks a conviction for \u201coffending the memory of the dead\u201d.<\/p>\n

After the war, the International Red Cross (which had investigated \u201cthe rumour of Auschwitz\u201d)\u00a0[4]<\/strong>, the Vatican (which had been quite well informed about Poland), the Nazis, the\u00a0collabos<\/em>, all declared, along with many others: \u201cThe \u2018gas chambers\u2019? We did not know.\u201d But how can anyone know of things that have not existed?<\/p>\n

Nazism is dead and gone, together with its F\u00fchrer. There remains today the truth. Let us dare to tell it publicly. The non-existence of the \u201cgas chambers\u201d is good news for humanity. Good news that it would be wrong to keep hidden any longer\u00a0[5]<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[1]<\/strong>\u00a0The phrase is that of Olga Wormser-Migot (Le Syst\u00e8me concentrationnaire nazi<\/em><\/strong>, thesis published by the Presses Universitaires de France, Paris 1968).

[3]<\/strong>\u00a0On the one hand, photos from the Auschwitz Museum (negatives 519 and 6228), and, on the other hand, papers from the Nuremberg trial (NI-9098 and\u00a0NI-9912<\/a>).
[4]<\/strong>\u00a0See\u00a0Documents relating to the work of the International Committee of the Red Cross for the benefit of civilian detainees in German concentration camps between 1939 and 1945<\/em><\/strong>, Geneva 1975 [French edition 1946] reproducing in part (I have a copy of the full confidential text) document No. 9925: \u201cVisit by an ICRC delegate to the Commandant of Auschwitz Camp (September 1944)\u201d, p. 76-77 [French edition, p. 91-92]. A crucial sentence of this document was deftly truncated of three words in the book by Marc Hillel,\u00a0Les Archives de l\u2019espoir<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(\u201cThe Archives of Hope\u201d), Fayard, Paris 1977, p. 257, and the most important sentence (\u201cThe inmates themselves said nothing [about a gas chamber]\u201d) was simply left out.
[5]<\/strong>\u00a0Among the score of authors who refute the existence of the \u201cgas chambers\u201d, I shall cite Paul Rassinier, wartime deportee (Le V\u00e9ritable Proc\u00e8s Eichmann<\/em><\/strong>, Les Sept Couleurs, Paris 1962, distributed by Maurice Bard\u00e8che, 5, rue Rataud, 75005 Paris) and, especially, the American A.
