306 Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf: Treblinka<br />

There is no doubt that the camp at Risiera di San Sabba was not an ‘extermination<br />

camp,’ and it is also clear that the main activity of Globocnik’s unit<br />

“R” was to fight partisans. Therefore, we have clear proof of deployment of<br />

the former staff of both euthanasia and Operation Reinhardt in a task that had<br />

nothing to do with the extermination of Jews. Thus, the fact of partial continuity<br />

of the personnel employed in the euthanasia with that employed in the Operation<br />

Reinhardt does not permit the conclusion that Jews were summarily<br />

exterminated in the Operation Reinhardt camps.<br />

Moreover, Meyer’s claim that not only the euthanasia staff was transferred,<br />

but also their methods and equipment (gassing with carbon monoxide), is<br />

simply wrong. There is no evidence that the method used for killings during<br />

the euthanasia program – mainly bottled carbon monoxide – was ever used<br />

during the alleged <strong>Holocaust</strong>. Here we find claims to all sorts of methods, except<br />

the one used during euthanasia, which had proven to be highly effective.<br />

Today, Meyer and his fellow dogmatists claim that the exhaust of diesel engines<br />

was used to kill people in Treblinka and Be��ec. Fritz Berg has shown in<br />

detail how absurd this claim is, indeed. 99 It is not only absurd because diesel<br />

exhaust gases hardly contain any carbon monoxide, but even more so because<br />

the Germans had an overabundance of extremely poisonous devices available:<br />

hundred thousands of wood and coke gas generators, which were cheap and<br />

easy to operate and delivered a gas just as lethal as bottled carbon monoxide.<br />

Considering that some of the staff of Operation Reinhardt had knowledge<br />

of homicidal techniques from the euthanasia program, this lack of transfer of<br />

method is strong circumstantial evidence that the Operation Reinhardt did not<br />

mean the killing of people.<br />

2. Archaeological Findings<br />

Meyer criticizes the alleged lack of discussion of archaeological findings,<br />

such as the fact that today the rain still rinses bone fragments to the surface.<br />

Since archaeological findings are discussed in detail in Chapter III.2. of the<br />

present book, one wonders if Meyer really read this book thoroughly. Also,<br />

when talking about archaeology, Meyer should first ask why the huge mass<br />

graves attested to by the witnesses were never found despite archaeological<br />

research. Bone fragments rinsed to the surface prove that people died in Treblinka<br />

and were buried, a fact that nobody denies, but such findings do not<br />

prove a mass murder with the methods and the order of magnitude claimed.<br />

Unless Meyer has established the extent and nature of bone fragments and of<br />

the area, in which they can be found, his statement cannot be called an archaeological<br />

finding, but merely an unfounded claim.
