39. What is the difference if six million or 300,000 Jews died
during this awesome period?
The IHR says (original):
5,700,000. Besides -- and contrary to "Holocaust"
propaganda -- there was no deliberate attempt to exterminate anyone.
Nizkor replies:
As mentioned before, about six million did die. Saying otherwise does
not bring them back to life.
The IHR here states clearly that "there was no deliberate
attempt to exterminate anyone." They have clearly separated the
question of Nazi gas chambers from the question of the Nazi plan to
exterminate European Jews regardless of means.
Perhaps
Greg Raven,
the
head
of the IHR, would like to explain the quotations below. When asked
about them previously, he has always tried to change the subject and
bring up gas chambers. But if he truly believes that "there was no
deliberate attempt to exterminate anyone" -- period -- then he
should be able to respond to these quotations without referring to gas
chambers:
Hans Frank's
diary (from Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, 1946, Vol. I, pp.
992, 994):
But what should be done with the Jews? Do you think they will be
settled down in the 'Ostland' [eastern territories], in [resettlement]
villages? This is what we were told in Berlin: Why all this bother? We
can do nothing with them either in the 'Ostland' nor in the
'Reichkommissariat.' So liquidate them yourself.
Gentlemen, I must ask you to rid yourself of all feeling of pity. We
must annihilate the Jews, wherever we find them and wherever it is
possible, in order to maintain the structure of the Reich as a whole.
...
We cannot shoot or poison these 3,500,000 Jews, but we shall
nevertheless be able to take measures, which will lead, somehow, to
their annihilation....
That we sentence 1,200,000 Jews to die of hunger should be noted
only marginally.
Himmler's
speech at Posen on October 4, 1943 was captured on audiotape (Trial
of the Major War Criminals, 1948, Vol. XXIX, p. 145, trans. by
current author):
I refer now to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the
Jewish people. This is one of those things that is easily said:
"the Jewish people are being exterminated," says every Party
member, "quite true, it's part of our plans, the elimination of
the Jews, extermination, we're doing it."
Goebbels (as translated in Lochner, The Goebbels Diaries,
1948, pp. 86, 147-148):
February 14, 1942:
The Führer
once again expressed his determination to clean up the Jews in Europe
pitilessly. There must be no squeamish sentimentalism about it. The Jews
have deserved the catastrophe that has now overtaken them. Their
destruction will go hand in hand with the destruction of our enemies. We
must hasten this process with cold ruthlessness.
March 27, 1942: The procedure is a pretty barbaric one and
not to be described here more definitely. Not much will remain of the
Jews. On the whole it can be said that about 60 per cent of them will
have to be liquidated whereas only 40 per cent can be used for forced
labor.
Perhaps the awkwardness of dealing with quotes such as those, without
being able to sidetrack the issue to the (equally-bogus but
more-complex) question of the gas chambers, is why the IHR removed from
its revised version the line "there was no deliberate attempt to
exterminate anyone."
