Today we will have a look at the testimony of one of them: Russian POW Andrei Pogozhev and his book Escape from Auschwitz (Pen & Sword, 2007).
Last year Professor Deborah Lipstadt gave a lecture about Holocaust denial at the University of Oxford. There she stated ....

By Panagiotis Heliotis ∙ June 24, 2020 Welcome back dear readers for another take on the famous “Where did they go?” response of the Holocaust orthodoxy when facing revisionism. As we know, historians claim that there were certain camps like Treblinka with the sole purpose of extermination. Revisionists claim that this was not the case and that these camps were actually transit… By Panagiotis Heliotis ∙ June 18, 2019 David Cesarani (1956-2015) was an English historian specializing in Jewish history.

If the camps were labor or transit camps, where did the Jews go? Give us the name of one single Jew who was transited through these camps. These are the kind of responses you usually hear from people who encounter revisionism and realize… By Panagiotis Heliotis ∙ January 21, 2019 One of the trump cards the Holocaust historians and promoters like to use is what they call the “convergence of evidence”. All available evidence they tell us, either testimonies, photos, documents, or anything, point to one single conclusion: The Holocaust as we know it. Unfortunately, this is nothing but an illusion – in other words,… By Panagiotis Heliotis ∙ November 3, 2018 Ahoy there dear readers.

Regarding this, he again… By Panagiotis Heliotis ∙ October 5, 2018 Last year Professor Deborah Lipstadt gave a lecture about Holocaust denial at the University of Oxford. There she stated ….
