An Analysis of the Novel Night by Elie Wiesel

By Robert Faurisson ∙ February 11, 2020

Last updated on

The late Mr. Ernst Zundel and Prof. Robert Faurisson examine the contents of the novel "Night" by Mr. Elie Wiesel which, according to Mr. Wiesel, was an accurate description of his experiences in the Auschwitz concentration camp during the war.

Notably, Mr. Wiesel does not mention gas chambers in his novel as the gas chamber story had not yet taken off when the book was first published back in 1960. This, however, did not stop translators from inserting the gas chambers into the German translation of the book, in order to fool German schoolchildren.

The Seventh Gas Chamber of Majdanek

Seven homicidal gas chambers are said to have existed at the Majdanek Camp. At least, that was what the public has been told by Polish authorities between 1945 and the early 2000s. Six of these chambers have been well-described, and they had some "criminal traces" to give them at least a little credence. But the seventh of them, a room in the center of the camp's crematorium, never made any sense at all, and has been the laughing stock of open-minded observers for decades. In the meantime, the Majdanek Museum has admitted that this room (and four of the others) were not homicidal gas chambers after all. By going to the sources, this paper addresses the question how it could happen that a ludicrous claim such as this could have evolved in the first place.
