Sobibor

By its victim count, Sobibór is among the smallest of the four “Aktion Reinhardt” camps, which according to orthodox historiography served as “pure extermination camps” for the mass murder of Jews in gas chambers. The other camps are: Belzec, Chelmno/Kulmhof, and Treblinka.

On May 5, 2018, we downloaded this file from the website dedicated to then-ongoing research in the area of the former Sobibór Camp. It summarizes the results of forensic excavations conducted up to the fall of 2013. The file has since been removed, and the Wayback Machine has no copy of it either. Hence we re-post it on CODOH.

Im Mai 2009 wurde der 89-jährige John Demjanjuk aus den USA nach Deutschland abgeschoben, wo er verhaftet und angeklagt wurde, in mindestens 27.900 Fällen Beihilfe zum Mord geleistet zu haben. Diese Morde sollen angeblich im Lager Sobibór im Osten Polens begangen worden sein. Laut orthodoxer Geschichtsschreibung sollen dort vom Mai …

On April 14, John Demjanjuk was almost deported to Germany to stand trial for alleged war crimes. A last minute ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati blocked this German extradition request, and the 89 year-old Ukrainian émigré was returned to his home. German authorities claim …

1. Diesel Exhaust and Zyklon B Most National Socialist homicidal gassings were supposedly committed with Diesel exhaust rather than cyanide or Zyklon B. Although this is contrary to popular perceptions about the Holocaust story, Diesel exhaust has been dominant, at least in terms of numbers of victims, in the claims …

In a recent issue of the New York Review of Books, a lecture by Timothy Snyder of Yale University was reprinted under the title “Holocaust: The Ignored Reality”. Clearly, the title, as well as the prominence accorded to this article, based on a lecture given in Riga earlier this year, …

Let’s say, hypothetically speaking, that someone wanted to design and implement a systematic process for mass-murdering hundreds of thousands of people, in a short period of time, using poisonous gas. How might one go about doing this? This is the question that must have been brought to bear on certain …

1. Introduction In the following brief article, I will discuss the ground water level at the alleged extermination camp Sobibór during its period of operation, that is between early summer 1942 and autumn 1943, and to what insights gleaned from witness statements, as well as geographical and topographical data implies …

In any trial of even the most ordinary murder, one can expect an abundance of information about the murder weapon, including a detailed description of the weapon and how it was used. Surely, with regard to murder as novel and as bestially spectacular as the alleged mass-murder of millions of …

The conclusion of this treatment is that according to the Holocaust story's own numbers and descriptions a Holocaust body could be cremated with a quantity of wood barely the size of a shoe box. So say the laws of nature. BEHOLD! UTTER NONSENSE From the book Escape From Sobibor by …

According to Holocaust tales bodies were burned in pits or on grates made out of rail road tracks. For Sobibor we are told via testimony of Franz Stangl said to have been commandant of that camp and Treblinka that they used "brush wood" piled beneath grates. For Chelmno we are …

Sobibor. A History of a Nazi Death Camp, by Jules Schelvis (Berg Publishers/USHMM, Oxford 2006). Like all of the alleged “pure extermination camps”, Sobibór near Włodawa is wrapped in obscurity. No more than a handful books have been devoted to this camp, where allegedly hundreds of thousands of Jews, most …

Of the three so called Aktion Reinhardt “extermination camps” Sobibor near Wlodawa is the one least researched by revisionists. So far there has not been published any book length revisionist study on this camp. As for exterminationist scholarship, the most in-depth study is provided by Jules Schelvis’ Sobibor. A History …

In this third part of my series of articles on the witness accounts left by former Jewish prisoners of the alleged “pure extermination camp" Sobibór, I will discuss statements made by four of the lesser known witnesses: Ada Licthman, her husband Itzhak Lichtman, Harold Werner, and Chaim Trager. In the …

The second part of my article series on the witness accounts left by former Jewish prisoners of the alleged extermination camp Sobibor I will devote to a single eyewitness, namely Dov Freiberg (also known as Ber or Berale Freiberg). Freiberg was born in Warsaw in 1927. His family lived in …

In contrast to Treblinka and Belzec, there (allegedly) exists no surviving witnesses from the "death camp proper" of Sobibor, usually designated Lager III. However, from among the fifty or sixty survivors of the October 1943 prisoner revolt, we have a number of accounts in which the witness claims to have …

In May 2009, the 89-year-old John Demjanjuk was deported from the United States to Germany, where he was arrested and charged with aiding and abetting murder in at least 27,900 cases. These murders were allegedly perpetrated at the Sobibór camp in eastern Poland. According to mainstream historiography 170,000 to 250,000 …

3° Comunicato Il  12 dicembre 2012 il revisionista svizzero Jurgen Graf, perseguitato, processato, condannato, esule rifugiato in Russia, indirizza un terzo ed ultimo comunicato relativo all'opera che Carlo Mattogno, Thomas Kues e lui stesso stanno per pubblicare – per il momento in inglese – in risposta ai 5 storici “sterminazionisti” …

Mainstream holocaust writer Jean-Claude Pressac spotted what he called a "Soviet put up job" - a clear attempt by the Soviet War Crimes Commission to falsely portray an ordinary delousing chamber in the Central Sauna section of Auschwitz-Birkenau as homicidal in nature. Much credit is due to him for this observation, however he failed to ask a critically important question: If there were real homicidal gas chambers a literal stone's throw away, why undertake an effort to fake this one? Pressac unfortunately does not appear to ask himself this question and passes over the significance of a Soviet hoax gas chamber with accompanying propaganda photo spread without a second thought. For photos of the faked gas chamber and Pressac's commentary, see http://www.holocaust-history.org/auschwitz/pressac/technique-and-operation/pressac0046.shtml and following pages.

If the Soviet War Crimes Commission faking a gas chamber isn't bad enough, it gets worse. There is a definite pattern here.

In my previous posting on the recent excavations at the alleged extermination camp Sobibór I pointed out the incongruence between A. Kola's reported interpretations of findings made at the site and later claims made by among others the museal authorities in charge of the Sobibór memorial. I further examined various eyewitness …

The book contains a number of recent interviews with Germans as well as Jews of German nationality deported to ghettos …

By Carlo Mattogno It is an acknowledged fact that Holocaust historiography reached its peak in 2002 and has since begun a gradual and inexorable decline. Revisionist historiography, by contrast, has flourished in the last decade. As for myself, I have in this time published a dozen studies, the most recent …

By Thomas Kues On 17 August 2010 the Zionist news site YNet published the following item: "Israel will continue to support efforts to set up a memorial center at Sobibor, according to an agreement reached by the director general of the Ministry of Information and Diaspora Affairs Ronen Plot and …

By Thomas Kues Counting the years properly we are now facing a new decade. What will it bring for holocaust revisionism? In one of my first articles for Smith's Report, "What Remains to be Researched?" (issue 150) I outlined a number of areas still in need of research as well …

By Thomas Kues Today, on 12 May 2011, John Demjanjuk was sentenced by a Munich court to 5 years in prison [1]  for assisting in the alleged murder of 28,060 Dutch Jews in the Sobibór "extermination" camp in eastern Poland in 1943 (the number of victims in the indictment was …

By Thomas Kues In a reply [1] to my recent article [2] on the holocaust historians' lies and obfuscations about the contents of Nuremberg document NO-482, wherein Sobibór is designated as a transit camp (Durchgangslager), anti-revisionist blogger Roberto Muehlenkamp focuses on the fact that in the 17 March 1944 report …

By Thomas Kues After my comment on the terms Sonderlager and SS-Sonderkommando in relation to the Sobibór camp,[1] Roberto Muehlenkamp has focused his untiring yet self-defeating powers of "argumentation" on the following passage in the March 1944 Benda report on the Sobibór prisoner uprising: "Mit Rücksicht auf die Art die …
