Arthur R. Butz – The Hoax Of The Twentieth Century

Arthur R. Butz, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century
[…] The letter of the four organizations to the Secretary of State follows:
‘On behalf of the organizations we represent […] the undersigned respectfully
request our government to transmit to the government of France a solemn
protest against the action taken recently by that government to turn thousands
of refugees over to the agents of the Nazi government for deportation to Poland
and to other Nazi-occupied regions in Eastern Europe.
‘Reports reaching us […stating] that the government of France is permitting
the […] deportation by the Nazis of Jewish refugees who have been interned
in a number of camps in the south of France. This action began about
Aug. 8, when a total of 3,600 men, women and children were rounded up,
loaded on trains and sent off without any word regarding their destination.
‘The reports agree that these 3,600 were the first contingent of a total of
10,000 Jewish refugees which the French government has agreed to deport to
eastern territories […]
‘[…] Mass deportations of Jews from Germany and from territories under
German occupation have been going on ever since the conquest of Poland. In
accordance with the announced policy of the Nazis to exterminate the Jews of
Europe, hundreds of thousands of these innocent men, women and children
have been killed in brutal mass murders. The rest are being herded in ghettos
in Eastern Europe under indescribably wretched conditions, as a result of
which tens of thousands have succumbed to starvation and pestilence.’”
We should only note at this point that even the four Jewish organizations are
not completely secure in claiming exterminations, because they allow themselves
an “out” by referring to those being “herded in ghettos.” Welles’ reply, while “in
complete agreement” with the letter, avoids direct endorsement of the extermination
claim.
November 24, 1942, p. 10: “HEBREW PAPERS MOURN
JERUSALEM, Nov. 23 (UP) – The Hebrew press appeared today with
black borders around reports of mass murders of Jews in Poland. The reports,
received by the Jewish Agency, asserted that systematic annihilation of the
Jewish population was being carried out by a special German ‘destruction
commission’ […] on the former frontier between German and Russian Poland,
thousands were thrown into the Bug river and drowned.”
December 13, 1942, p. 21: “TARDY WAR REPORT HELD AID TO FAITH
[…] Rabbi Israel Goldstein declared: ‘Authenticated reports point to
2,000,000 Jews who have already been slain by all manner of satanic barbarism,
and plans for the total extermination of all Jews upon whom the Nazis
can lay their hands. The slaughter of a third of the Jewish population in
Hitler’s domain and the threatened slaughter of all is a holocaust without parallel.’”
