the accusations being made against Pohl and his colleagues. Frau Pohl noted that her husband<br />

retained his serenity in the face <strong>of</strong> adversity until March, 1945, when he visited the camp at Bergen-<br />

Belsen, at the time <strong>of</strong> the typhus epidemic there. Hitherto the camp had been the model <strong>of</strong> cleanliness<br />

and order, but the chaotic conditions <strong>of</strong> the close <strong>of</strong> the war had reduced it to a state <strong>of</strong> extreme<br />

hardship.<br />

Pohl, who was unable to alleviate conditions there because <strong>of</strong> the desperate pass the war had reached<br />

by that time, was deeply effected by the experience and, according to his wife, never regained his<br />

former state <strong>of</strong> composure."<br />

HERMAN GOERING<br />

"Mass murder! I assure you that we never for a moment had such things in mind. I only thought we<br />

would eliminate Jews from positions inn big business and government, and that was all. But don't<br />

forget that the Jews carried on a terrific campaign against us too, all over the world."<br />

Herman Goering from his death cell<br />

STATISTICALLY<br />

It is an established fact that the Jews in Germany were very few indeed. <strong>The</strong> Germans who are very<br />

good at keeping statistics, never as far as I am aware claimed there to be in excess <strong>of</strong> 1%, which<br />

would number less than 1 million. <strong>The</strong> Jewish Joint Distribution Committee put the figure at<br />

1,559,600 have yet to explain why they are claiming compensation for double that figure.<br />

Any reasoned or academic analysis <strong>of</strong> the alleged program <strong>of</strong> extermination inevitably leads to gross<br />

inconsistencies; so much so that the propagandists have reluctantly beaten a retreat on every so-called<br />

extermination camp, until all they are left with is Auschwitz, which conveniently was 'liberated' by<br />

the Red Army who never allowed outsiders in until 10 years after the war's end.<br />

SHAKY GROUND<br />

"Our detailed research (into the holocaust) however mostly establishes only how shaky is the ground<br />

we're on: the consensus <strong>of</strong> research data <strong>of</strong>ten turns out only to be the result <strong>of</strong> everybody having<br />

uncritically copied what everybody else was writing; the actual documentary basis on many matters is<br />

frighteningly narrow and is in consequence easily shattered by some find or other. In all too many<br />

matters we are still groping in total darkness. If we are to avert being shown up, in the next few years<br />

historical research is going to have to do all it can not only to establish better documentary defences<br />

but broader-based ones as well." - Dr. Hans-Heinrich Wilhelm, University <strong>of</strong> Riga, 1988<br />

"A large number <strong>of</strong> testimonials on file here were later proved to be inaccurate when locations and<br />

dates could not pass an expert historian's appraisal."<br />

Shmuel Krakowski, Director Archives, Yad Vashem, Israel<br />

"Much <strong>of</strong> the personal survivor testimony is unreliable about names, locations or dates... what<br />

survivors speak about most is their suffering. Samuel Gringauz, a survivor had harsh words for these<br />

personal histories. In the January 1950 issue <strong>of</strong> Jewish Social Studies he called the 'Judaeocentric,<br />

logocentric and egocentric'. For him, most <strong>of</strong> the memoirs were full <strong>of</strong> 'preposterous verbosity,<br />

exaggeration, dramatic effects, dilettante philosophism, would-by lyricism, unchecked rumors, bias<br />

and apologies." - Raul Hilberg, Jerusalem Post, June 28th 1986<br />
