The Holocaust is supposed to have been the implementation of the “perfect crime” with modern technology invented by ingenious yet nefarious German technological minds: gas chambers, crematoria, gas vans, and other automatic execution devices.

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.

In late 2010 Claude Lanzmann’s “documentary” Shoah was re-released with much brouhaha on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. It is “considered one of the greatest documentaries ever made.” Although there have been a number of revisionist critiques of various aspects of the movie,[1] no thorough and complete analysis of its entire content of 9½…

An alleged revisionist forgery In 1990, German revisionist Udo Walendy published an issue of his journal Historische Tatsachen (Historical Facts) entitled “Der Fall Treblinka” (“The Treblinka Case”) that focused on the numerous absurd allegations surrounding this supposed “pure extermination camp”. On one of the first pages of this publication Walendy has reproduced in facsimile a…
