GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
I am Fascinated by the Deconstruction of Elie Wiesel
For a survivor of Third Reich persecution to parley a 120-page
“memoir” into the basis of an industry and himself into an icon of moral
authority, sought by Presidents and Prime Ministers the world over, is
an astonishing feat worthy of a Nobel Prize and every other civilian
honor. Yet it is Elie Wiesel’s very testimony that gives credence to the
doubts of Holocaust revisionists. And his vehement denunciation of
Holocaust denial leads careful readers to think this “windbag and poseur”
5 doth protest too much.
The tenet of a deliberate Nazi policy to exterminate all the Jews of
Europe is undermined by the fact that the Wiesel family and other Hungarian
Jews were not arrested and sent to labor camps until May 1944,
when the war had already turned against the Germans. Elie and his two
older sisters survived two concentration camps in the worst period of
the war; his father died of disease; his mother and little sister likely perished
with typhus. Most of Wiesel’s other relatives survived; none was
gassed that we know of.
Yet Wiesel conflates a “crematorium” with a “gas chamber” and
claims there were “thousands of people who died daily in Auschwitz
and Birkenau, in the crematoria […].” 6 Surely he knows that this is not
true; crematoria are used to dispose of the bodies of those who have
already died; they are not used as an instrument of mass murder. Most
of those who died in concentration camps in 1944-45 died of disease or
were executed by shooting. Of course others died from overwork, exhaustion,
hanging, beating, etc. – but thousands did not die daily in the
crematoria.
Wiesel insists Auschwitz was a death camp, part of Hitler’s Final
Solution, which he defines as a deliberate plan to exterminate all European
Jews. But his description of an ambulance at Auschwitz to take a
sick prisoner to the hospital, 7 his joy of being put in a hospital bed with
white sheets, and his statement that “Actually, being in the infirmary
was not bad at all: we were entitled to good bread, a thicker soup,” all
support the revisionists’ opinion that Auschwitz was a labor complex
and a transfer camp, not one designed to exterminate enemies of the
Third Reich.
