Arthur R. Butz – The Hoax Of The Twentieth Century

Conclusions
Chapter 7: The Final Solution
We are now very close to the end of our study. The thesis of this book has
been proved conclusively. The Jews of Europe were not exterminated, and there
was no German attempt to exterminate them. The Germans resettled a certain
number, and these people were ultimately resettled again in accordance with Allied
programs. Although various statistical details are missing from our analysis, it
is possible to reconstruct quantitative aspects of the problem to a satisfactory degree.
The Jews of Europe suffered during the war by being deported to the East, by
having had much of their property confiscated, and, more importantly, by suffering
cruelly in the circumstances surrounding Germany’s defeat. They may even
have lost a million dead.
Everybody in Europe suffered during the war, especially the people of central
and eastern Europe. The people who suffered most were the losers, the Germans
(and Austrians), who lost 10 million dead due to military casualties, Allied bombings,
the Russian terror at the end of the war, Russian and French labor conscriptions
of POW’s after the war, Polish and other expulsions from their homelands,
under the most brutal conditions, and the vengeful occupation policies of 1945-
1948. 421
Himmler Nailed it Perfectly
The “gas chambers” were wartime propaganda fantasies completely comparable
to the garbage that was shoveled out by Lord Bryce and associates in World
War I. The factual basis for these ridiculous charges was nailed with perfect accuracy
by Heinrich Himmler in an interview with a representative of the World Jewish
Congress just a few weeks before the end of the war: 422
“in order to put a stop to the epidemics, we were forced to burn the bodies
of incalculable numbers of people who had been destroyed by disease. We
were therefore forced to build crematoria, and on this account they are knotting
a noose for us.”
It is most unfortunate that Himmler was a “suicide” while in British captivity,
because had he been a defendant at the IMT, his situation would have been such
that he would have told the true story (being fully informed and not in a position
to shift responsibility to somebody else), and books such as the present book
would not be necessary, because the major material could be read in the IMT trial
transcript. But then, you see, it was not within the bounds of political possibility
that Himmler live to talk at the IMT.
That Himmler’s assessment of the gas chamber accusations is the accurate one
should be perfectly obvious to anybody who spends any time with this subject, as
