hardt but not at Auschwitz. After all, the so-called “Sonderbehandlung
14f13,” i.e. the extension of the euthanasia program to the concentration
camps, should have entailed such a move, all the more so as Reitlinger
tells us that the Jewish detainees were included “merely for being
Jews.” 824 According to Danuta Czech’s Kalendarium, Dr. Horst Schumann,
the head of the Hadamar euthanasia institution, arrived at
Auschwitz on 28 July 1941, leading a Sonderkommission which had the
task of selecting “all invalids, cripples, and chronically ill” who were
then sent to Sonnenstein to be gassed. This happened on Himmler’s orders.
825
Brack, however, declared that the order to transfer the euthanasia
personnel to Lublin and to put it at Globocnik’s disposition could have
come “only from Himmler.” 826 Yet if Himmler was indeed running all
at once Aktion Reinhardt, Sonderbehandlung 14f13, and the alleged extermination
program at Auschwitz, which he is said to have explained
to Rudolf Höß in June of 1941, 827 then it is all the more inconceivable
that the road leading to homicidal gas chambers at this camp should
have been an entirely different one, without the euthanasia program being
the least bit involved. The same reasoning applies to Chemno.
Still, this point is not the only questionable one in the Holocaust thesis.
Along the chain of events tying the euthanasia program to the alleged
extermination of the Jews in the camps of Aktion Reinhardt exists
a fundamental link: the plan to exterminate the Jews apt to work in the
East. During the trial of the physicians in Nuremberg after the war this
argument was set out in the following words: 828
“In October 1941, Brack, the administrative head of the Euthanasia
Program, forwarded plans whereby Jews who were unable to
work should be exterminated by gas. He declared his readiness to
send some of his assistants and especially his chemist, Kallmeyer, to
the East, where the necessary gassing apparatus could be easily
manufactured.
