Holocaust + Final Solution

When Nazi Germany invaded Russia in summer of 1941, a “comprehensive” or “final solution” to the Jewish question was envisioned by Germany’s leaders. But what was this “final solution”? Was it a plan to deport the Jews into the “Russian swamps,” as Hitler had once stated, or was it a plan to systematically kill them all? The extant documents are quite clear about it, yet they contradict what a plethora of witnesses have stated. This question divides the two sides in this debate (notwithstanding one side insisting that there is no debate). The topic is huge in scope and scale – and it is the main focus of this website

For the Benefit of Judy Cohen

Based upon all that has been written about her, a reasonable individual might best describe Judy Cohen as a 78 year old “Holocaust activist,” a mother of two, a feminist, a Zionist apologist and a survivor of two Nazi concentration camps: Auschwitz-Birkenau in the east, and Bergen-Belsen in the west. According to information obtained through…

Vergasungskeller: Final Chapter?

The Nuremberg trials document NO-4473 has been a nagging problem for decades. I have offered three interpretations of the word “Vergasungskeller” that appears in that document , dated 29 Jan. 1943, from the Auschwitz construction department and dealing with Crematorium II.
