Europe are still in the city’s ghetto. The Germans are executing several<br />

hundred <strong>of</strong> them every day, and the Gestapo compiles lists <strong>of</strong><br />

the next victims. Many Jews managed to escape from the various<br />

ghettos and to join partisan groups, and today there is a large number<br />

[<strong>of</strong> Jews] from Western Europe who are fighting together with<br />

the Lithuanian partisans.”<br />

This report is particularly instructive. It shows that only as late as<br />

spring <strong>of</strong> 1944 did “certain sparse information” began “to seep through”<br />

to Judisk Krönika “about the fate <strong>of</strong> those Jews who have been deported<br />

from Western Europe to Eastern Europe” – and this information did not<br />

speak <strong>of</strong> said Jews being murdered in “gas chambers”!<br />

Whereas a transport <strong>of</strong> French Jews in May 1944 to the Lithuanian<br />

city <strong>of</strong> Kaunas (as well as to the Estonian city <strong>of</strong> Tallinn) is confirmed<br />

by mainstream historians, 75 they do not mention any deportation <strong>of</strong><br />

Jews from Holland or Belgium to Lithuania. The inescapable conclusion<br />

is therefore that these Jews must be a part <strong>of</strong> those who mainstream<br />

historiography claims to have been “gassed” at Auschwitz or Sobibór.<br />

The claim by Judisk Krönika that the German authorities executed<br />

the Jews present in the Lithuanian ghettos on a massive scale in late<br />

spring <strong>of</strong> 1944 is implausible. In that case the Soviets would certainly<br />

have obtained evidence for this crime after their conquest <strong>of</strong> Lithuania,<br />

which they would have exploited for their propaganda. Instead <strong>of</strong> fictitious<br />

mass gassings they would have accused the Germans <strong>of</strong> real mass<br />

executions and would have presented the corpses <strong>of</strong> those murdered as a<br />

corpus delicti for an investigation by international commissions – as the<br />

Germans had done in 1943 after discovering the massacres <strong>of</strong> Katyn 1079<br />

and in 1944 after discovering the massacres <strong>of</strong> Vinnytsa. 1080<br />

10.4.4. Further Evidence for Western Jews in the East<br />

We will now present a number <strong>of</strong> additional pro<strong>of</strong>s for the deportation<br />

<strong>of</strong> French, Belgian, and Dutch Jews into the occupied territories in<br />

the East. Apart from the above-mentioned transport <strong>of</strong> French Jews to<br />

Tallinn and Kaunas in May <strong>of</strong> 1944, mainstream historians never mention<br />

any transports <strong>of</strong> Jews from these countries into the East. 75 The irrefutable<br />

conclusion is that these deportations concerned a portion <strong>of</strong><br />
