cerate German prisoners of war and anti-Communist political prisoners?
This omission is particularly egregious since: 37
“The mortality rate in the Soviet camps was higher than the rate
shown by statistics in the Nazi camps. According to the camp records
kept by the Soviet Union, there were 122,671 persons arrested
and interned between 1945 and 1950 in the Soviet internment camp
system in Germany, and 42,889 of them died. In addition, 756 persons
were executed. The camp guidebook says that ‘This information
has been questioned from various sides, requiring corroborative research’.”
Notice that it is fine for historians to question statistics on the victims
of Russian massacres and war crimes, but it is beyond the pale,
indeed criminal, to question the narrative of Jewish victims as described
by Elie Wiesel.
While working as a journalist for the Israeli newspaper Yedioth
Ahronoth, Wiesel says he went to Dachau, probably in the late 1940s or
early 1950s, where he spent the day alone. He was troubled and depressed
“for the Jewishness of the victims was barely mentioned.” 38 But
why should Jewish suffering have been given preeminence? There were
fairly few Jews in Dachau when it first opened in 1933. According to
the Virtual Jewish Library, hardly an unbiased source, “The number of
Jewish prisoners […] rose with the increased persecution of Jews and
on November 10-11, 1938, in the aftermath of Kristallnacht, more than
10,000 Jewish men were interned there. (Most of men in this group
were released after incarceration of a few weeks to a few months.)” 39
What Wiesel also omits saying is that late in the war the Germans
began to bring prisoners from other concentration camps to Dachau under
appalling conditions which led to disease and starvation. Many of
these prisoners were Jews, but even when the camp was liberated on
April 29, 1945, “there were 67,665 registered prisoners in Dachau and
its subcamps. Of these, 43,350 were categorized as political prisoners,
while 22,100 were Jews, with the remainder falling into various other
categories.” 39
It is also noteworthy that in “August 1944 a women’s camp opened
inside Dachau. Its first shipment of women came from Auschwitz-
Birkenau.” 39 This was the same time Wiesel’s sisters were transferred to
