Some 20% of post-war Polish territory is made up of former German lands; hence, some 20% of today’s Polish towns and cities once bore German names. All place names have long since been Polonized – all, except for one town, which displays bilingual entry signs: Auschwitz. Ethnically speaking, Oswiecim was never German. So why would the fiercely nationalistic Poles retain the Germanized name? Because it is big business. For the world at large, Auschwitz is synonymous with the Holocaust, and it represents the pinnacle of Nazi evil. Yet here we do not focus on the symbol which Auschwitz has become, but on the Auschwitz camp and its numerous satellite camps, such as Birkenau, Monowitz, Harmense, Raisko, etc.

Mass-murder denials: On at least one occasion, Germany publicly denied any intention to murder concentration camp inmates. An October 12 1944 letter talks of Germany's “press denial” of rumored intentions to murder Birkenau inmates. This letter has never been released to the public by the U.S. government. It is almost certain that in 1943, and…

Dear AnswerMan, How can you ask for proof of one person being gassed? Didn't Josef Kramer admit fully to the gassings? Tim AnswerMan Replies: Your question is clearly a response to Bradley Smith's question that appeared in several college newspapers requesting the name of one person that was gassed at Auschwitz with proof.

They give details of logistical problems encountered in the building of hundreds of air-raid shelters at Auschwitz-Birkenau in April through November of 1944. This effort…

Recently the argument has been advanced that each of the crematoria at Birkenau was equipped with a gas-tight bomb shelter. The argument was first made in the Summer of 1996 by Arthur R. Butz, with respect to Crematoria II and III in his Vergasungskeller article.[1] In the Spring of 1997 the concept was extended to…
