TREBLINKA: - Holocaust Handbooks

be explained without difficulty by the pressures, to which these people are
subjected.
From the beginning of the ‘Holocaust’ propaganda, Auschwitz has had first
rank and Treblinka second; there has always been far less discussion of the
other four ‘extermination camps.’ Since the end of the sixties, the flagship of
the Holocaust Armada, Auschwitz, has been under an uninterrupted barrage
from revisionist researchers. Due to this pressure – invisible to the public but
enormous – the advocates of the orthodox version of history have been constrained
to keep reducing the number of victims of this camp. In 1990, the
administration of the Auschwitz Museum withdrew the four million figure of
Auschwitz victims – which had in any case never been accepted by Western
historians – and replaced it with one and a half million; in 1994, Jean-Claude
Pressac, celebrated by the media as the leading Auschwitz expert, again reduced
the number drastically, to between 631,000 and 711,000. 932 The latest
retrenchment of the front in this ongoing retreat came in May of 2002, when
Fritjof Meyer, one of the editors of Germany’s largest news magazine, Der
Spiegel, wrote in the geopolitical German magazine Osteuropa, with reference
to allegedly new research results, that ‘only’ half a million died in Auschwitz,
which is still an exaggeration by at least a factor of three. 933
An even more drastic revision has been achieved for Majdanek: in 1944,
the figure of one and a half million murdered was given for that camp; in
1948, Polish historiography set the total number of victims at 360,000; but at
the beginning of the nineties, the number was reduced to 230,000; 934 Raul
Hilberg assumes in his standard work that only 50,000 Jewish prisoners were
killed in Majdanek. 935
According to the laws of mathematics and sound human reasoning, this
massive reduction in the number of victims for Auschwitz and Majdanek
should have resulted in a corresponding reduction in the total number of
‘Holocaust’ victims, but no: the mythical six million figure must be upheld at
all cost!

934 Cf. for this Jürgen Graf, Carlo Mattogno, op. cit. (note 271), Chapter IV.
935 Raul Hilberg, op. cit. (note 17). If one subtracts from this figure the confabulated 18,000 victims
of the alleged mass shooting of November 3, 1943 (“Harvest Festival,” cf. with regard
to this Jürgen Graf, Carlo Mattogno, Concentration Camp Majdanek, op. cit. (note 271),
Chapter IX), Hilberg’s number for the Jews killed in Majdanek is only slightly exaggerated.
