tion of the camp the surrounding forests showed no significant decrease
in area (where did the fuel for the cremation of the alleged 150,000 to
250,000 corpses come from?).
Ever since the publication of professor Kola’s results, however, the
story of the gassing of Jews at Sobibór has moved from the realm of the
unlikely into the realm of the impossible. Even if professor Kola may
not have set out to accomplish this voluntarily, he has earned our gratitude.
12.3. The Emperor’s New Clothes
For a naïve observe it would be possible to argue as follows: The
Hagen court has accepted a figure of “at least 150,000” for the number
of victims at Sobibór, the leading specialist on the camp, Jules Schelvis,
opted for 170,000 victims. This figure of 150,000 to 170,000 amounts
to a mere 2.5 to 3% of the infamous figure of “six million” and is not
really needed to maintain the thesis of the Holocaust. Could not the orthodox
historians under the circumstances give up the claim of the Sobibór
gas chambers and concede this point to the revisionists?
They cannot. First of all, the existence of gas chambers at Sobibór
has been “proved” at three trials in Germany – Berlin in 1950, Frankfurt
upon Main in 1950, and Hagen in 1965/66 – and is thus judicially notorious.
At these trials, eight men were condemned to prison terms ranging
from three years to life imprisonment. Of the latter, one (Erich Bauer)
died in prison after 31 years, another (Hubert Gomerski) spent 22
years behind bars before he was pardoned, and the third (Karl Frenzel)
remained in prison for 16 years. If the German judiciary were to admit
that blatant miscarriage of justice had taken place at all three Sobibór
trials, all other cases of such “Nazi crimes” would be up for review, because
all trials of camp personnel had followed the same route as these
trials: “We have sworn witness testimonies, why do we need forensic or
documentary proof?”
Let us take this a step further: If the judiciary and the historians have
“made a mistake” on Sobibór, what reason is there to believe the claims
made in connection with the other camps of Aktion Reinhardt? If Sobibór
falls, then so does Beec, where professor Kola has also carried
out investigations leading to the same conclusions. Who will then believe
the claims for Treblinka?
