the French, Belgian, and Dutch Jews who, according to mainstream historiography,<br />

were allegedly gassed at Auschwitz, Sobibór, and Majdanek.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the cases reported here are due to the efforts <strong>of</strong> two undaunted<br />

revisionist researchers: Enrique Aynat 1081 in Spain and the late<br />

Jean-Marie Boisdefeu in Belgium. 1082<br />

1) On 29 June 1942 Valerio Valeri, the papal ambassador in France,<br />

wrote from Vichy to Cardinal Luigi Malone: 1083<br />

“Towards the 20 th <strong>of</strong> this month the occupational administrations,<br />

using the French police, have arrested some 12,000 Jews.<br />

[…] The majority <strong>of</strong> them are non-Aryans <strong>of</strong> foreign origin, primarily<br />

Poles, Czechs etc., who are destined to be deported to the<br />

Ukraine.”<br />

2) A report <strong>of</strong> the Polish resistance, the date <strong>of</strong> which is unknown but<br />

which undoubtedly stems from the second half <strong>of</strong> 1942, states: 1084<br />

“Recently, a certain number <strong>of</strong> Jews from Belgium has been<br />

transferred to Grodno [in White Ruthenia].”<br />

3) On 16 October 1942, the Israelitisches Wochenblatt für die Schweiz<br />

(the Israelite Weekly for Switzerland) carried the following item:<br />

“Of late, transports <strong>of</strong> Jews from Belgium and other western<br />

European countries were observed in Riga, but they moved on<br />

immediately to other destinations.”<br />

Up to March <strong>of</strong> 1943 the destination <strong>of</strong> all Jews deported from Belgium<br />

was Auschwitz, 1085 which means that these Jews necessarily<br />

came to Riga via this camp.<br />

4) The Jewish author Reuben Ainsztain mentions the presence <strong>of</strong> Belgian<br />

and Dutch Jews in the camp <strong>of</strong> Janow, near Lvov (Lemberg).<br />

1086 It is highly likely that these Jews had been deported to that<br />

Ukrainian city via Beec, situated some 70 km to the northwest <strong>of</strong><br />

a page number in Aynstain’s book where this information can be found.
