Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

He then mentions that Emeritus Professor Ernst Nolte (FUB, 1973–91)
was the one who began the Historikerstreit in 1986–87 with his basic thesis,
‘Wasn’t the Gulag Archipelago not primary to Auschwitz? Wasn’t the
Bolshevik murder of an entire class the logical and factual prius of the
‘racial murder’ of National Socialism?’. Bendle also mentions that Nolte
has accepted points made by David Irving about the bombing of Hamburg
as an example of the
… Allies’ desire to destroy the German civilian population. … It appears
clear that the Australian delegation will enter a very welcoming
ideological environment in Berlin to present their views on Australia as a
genocidal society. Looming over the proceedings will be the self-serving
view common amongst Germans of both the Left and the Right that the
Holocaust was an expression of a ‘genocidal tendency’ inherent within
modern societies, an exculpatory model for Germany into which the
Australian experience can readily be made to fit by the delegation – at
the cost, of course, of national self-denigration (p. 17).
Although Bendle is a Holocaust believer, he does not mention Robert
Manne who was at one time editor of Quadrant, but who ran foul of the
establishment when he gave his weight to the ‘Stolen Generation’
movement that Keith Windschuttle has effectively scuttled, and who is now
Quadrant’s editor.
For the record, Bendle gives figures for ‘purpose-built camps and killing
grounds as Auschwitz-Birkenau (1,400,000 murdered), Treblinka
(870,000), Jasenovac (600,000), Belzec (600,000), Majdanek (360,000),
Chelmno (320,000), Sobibor (250,000) …’. The figures are, of course, pure
imagination because as I pointed out in my 2006 International Holocaust
Conference paper, even if we are not permitted to look at the facts, as is the
case in Austria, Holland, Germany etc. we can work out that the alleged
killing process extended over a period of time and calculations can be made
as to how long it must have taken to dispose of about 6 000 000 people. It
is a three-step process: undress–gas–burn/cremate. Or adding steps to it:
transport–undress–gas–cremate. Or as in Treblinka’s special case:
transport–undress–have breasts sliced off allegedly by Demjanjuk–gas–
bury–exhume–burn.
Here we have the glaring absurdity that is the Holocaust, and academic
Professor Mervyn F Bendle wants to save it from extinction!
