HS: If you look on Holocaust denier websites right now you, they’re
using it as we speak as an example of why you shouldn’t believe
Holocaust survivors.
DH: Right.
HS: And those Holocaust denier websites would perpetuate some other
story if it wasn’t Herman Rosenblat.
DH: Rosenblat says he wants people to know that he did what he did
with good intention.
So if you had to do it over again, would you tell the same story?
HR: Ya.
DH: You would?
HR: Yes.
DH: Rosenblat does say that he’s sorry but he’s only sorry he says that
people took the story ‘the wrong way’. His book deal for a non-fiction
memoir fell through a couple of weeks ago because of this controversy
but a fictionalised book may come out this summer and the movie
version is supposed to start shooting this summer as well in Eastern
Europe, Diane, and they said they’ll carry on despite the criticism.
Diane Walters: I simply don’t know what to say. I mean, it’s his
imagination but he knows it’s not true.
DH: He says he made up a fantasy world and that he was living in this
fantasy world
DW: And his son said he tried to stop him.
DH: Yes.
DW: Good heavens. Thank you Dan
Olga Lengyel: Five Chimneys.

>>‘…Thank you for your very frank, very well written book. You have
done a real service by letting the ones who are now silent and most
forgotten speak…With best regards and wishes, A. Einstein.’>There were two roll calls daily, the first at dawn, the second at about
three in the afternoon. It was at these hours that we had to be present.
Before the roll call was actually called, we had to wait many hours.
While waiting, no matter what the weather, we remained standing:
fourteen hundred women in front of each barrack, thirty-five thousand
in the whole camp, two hundred thousand in all the camps of the
Birkenau-Auschwitz area. When we were accused of some infraction of
the rules we had to go on our knees and wait in the mud and dirt.
