Ball, andmine.I will spare myself further analysis since analysis results obtainedin a methodically incorrect manner cannot be corrected even by correctinterpretation. Any attempt at interpretation is therefore a waste oftime. 514Even a direct comparison with my arguments and the open expressionof suspected fraud could not move Prof. Markiewicz and his colleaguesto justify or correct their unscientific manner of behavior. 58,59The director of this group, Dr. Jan Markiewicz, who is not a chemist,but rather, a “Technical Testing Specialist”, died in 1997. Both theother authors have remained silent.One can after all understand that these Polish authors made theircareers in Communist Poland, and, as Polish patriots, can under nocircumstances permit the undermining of ‘Auschwitz’ as a moral justificationfor the Polish ethnic cleansing of the East Prussians, EastPomeranians, and Silesians after the end of World War Two, as a result514 A word on the HCN-CO 2 mixture used by the Poles for their fumigation experiments. In theirview, CO 2 has a negative influence on the adsorption of HCN in the masonry. Their own testresults are, however, in contradiction to this view; they are also incorrect in assuming that CO 2could have a negative influence on the absorption of HCN; see also note 349, p. 165.272
