Let us begin with the “agonizing cries and screams.” Needless to
say, such sounds do not prove murder, only the expression of fear, and
may have come from people who merely believed that they were about
to be gassed. This sort of reaction was observed by an American in the
liberated Belsen camp in 1945: 218
“An American relief worker who had not worked at Belsen could
not understand why ‘it was difficult to get many of these people to
take a steam bath voluntarily.’ Many of the women especially, Marvin
Klemme noted, ‘would let out such screams as they were led into
the place, or as the steam was turned on, that one would have
thought that they were entering a slaughterhouse.’ Eventually, ‘a
Jewish doctor explained that some of this fear resulted from a subconscious
feeling that they were about to enter some kind of torture
chamber.”
Eye witnesses and mainstream Holocaust historians both assert that
the screams soon ceased because the victims were suffocated, but would
not likewise the screamers have fallen silent (at least to the degree that
they could not be heard from a certain distance), if they suddenly discovered
that they were not in a “death chamber” but rather in an ordinary
bath? Here we may also recall Freiberg’s statement that “voices of
people and children crying” were heard by some inmates “from within
the forest” and were interpreted as evidence that the deportees were still
alive, until Freiberg and his fellow inmates somehow realized that they
were the voices of the men in the burial detail. But could the voices of
adult males really be mistaken for children’s cries?
The cutting of women’s hair, rather than indicating mass killings, in
fact works against the official hypothesis. Or are we to believe that the
SS deliberately created a bottleneck in the extermination process just so
that they could collect around 100 kg of hair per transport, 219 corresponding
in value to only a minute fraction of the money, gold and other
valuables confiscated from the deportees? Indeed, the haircutting only
makes sense as part of a delousing operation. Likewise, the undressing
of people does not imply murder.
What about the noise from the supposed gassing engine? As seen
above, the earliest eyewitness accounts asserted that the alleged victims
