Majdanek

The camp Lublin-Majdanek in Poland was the first major camp liberated by the Allies, in this case, the Soviets. The Soviet propaganda made ample use of pictures showing crematory ovens with incompletely combusted corpses, cans of Zyklon B – the notorious insecticide allegedly used to kill millions of camp inmates – as well as rooms allegedly used as gas chambers. Contributions in this category seek to strip the orthodox lore of its Soviet wartime propaganda.

Concentration Camp Majdanek

Amazingly, little scientific investigation has been directed toward the concentration camp Lublin-Majdanek in central Poland, even though orthodox Holocaust sources have claimed that between fifty thousand and over a million Jews were murdered there.

Apophenia: the phenomenon of seeing things that aren't there. People will see, and believe, what they expect to…

On the Revision of the Number of Victims at Majdanek

Poland, Vernichtungslager
