  • Bombs on Britain

    16 March 1981 PBS Television“The Blitz” Sirs: Rarely have I come across a television broadcast more vicious in intent and more warped in execution than your recent “Blitz on Britain.” As a survivor of the mass air raid executed against my native city of Prague, Bohemia, on the Christian Holy Day of Palm Sunday, 1945,…

  • Buchenwald and After

    In 1942 I was served with a warrant for my arrest by the Gestapo. The warrant alleged that I was “corrupting the unity of the German people during wartime.” I appealed against this warrant of arrest but heard absolutely nothing more about it. On 5 October I arrived in Buchenwald after having spent two nights…

  • By Blood and Fire

    By Blood and Fire, by Thurston Clarke, G.P.Putnam's Sons, Ilb, $12.95. In these days of erotic fiction and strange “documentaries” on the market, it is rewarding to read an excellent non-fiction book on a little known subject that hasn't been widely documented. By Blood and Fire is virtually a scenario of one of the most…

  • Charles A. Beard: A Tribute

    I Charles A. Beard was born on 27 November 1874 in Knightstown, Indiana, a small farming community about 35 miles east of Indianapolis.

    2 February 1981 Dear Editor: Having read Dr. Stein's article in the last (winter) issue of The JHR, I felt compelled to inform you, that, although the article was informative, I do hope that The Journal's trend will not be in that direction. One apology is quite sufficient, for to continue in that direction will…

  • Correspondence

    Dr. Howard Stein's letter of the 13th April (The Journal of Historical Review, Winter 1981) honors him and (pace Signor Maiolini) adds to the intellectual caliber of the great debate. To Stein's “tu quoque” in regard to sociobiology and in defense of psychohistory, I must ruefully concede (to change the language employed) “touché.” I am…

    MIRACLE AT MAJDANEK? The Majdanek “gas chambers” are no longer a mystery. Finally, after 3 talks with the Majdanek director, Mr. Edward Dziadosz, and the custos, Madam Henryka Telesz, it has at last been admitted that the “gas chambers” are not authentic. They were built and set in order after the war. Dziadosz informed us…

  • Correspondence

    THE HOLOCAUST AND ITS RELIGIOUS ROOTS It was good to read Dr. Charles Weber's article “The Six Million Thesis – Cui Bono?” in the Summer 1982 issue of The Journal of Historical Review. Dr. Weber's article does well to point out some of the concrete, practical reasons for the propagation and perpetuation of the holocaust…

  • Correspondence

    MORE ON THE ROMANIAN JEWS In the last (Fall 1982) Journal of Historical Review, we ran in these columns a correspondence which attempted to clarify the losses of Romanian Jews during the war. We failed to include in that correspondence a final letter/circular by Dr. Andronescu without which the research data would appear to be…
