34. How could a mass extermination program have been kept secret from those
who were scheduled to be killed? It couldn’t have been kept secret. The fact is that there were no mass gassings. The extermination stories originated as wartime atrocity propaganda.

35. If Jews scheduled for execution knew the fate in store for them, why did they
go along with the Germans without resisting?
They didn’t fight back because they did not believe there was any intention
to kill them.

36. About how many Jews died in the concentration camps?
Competent estimates range from about 300,000 to 500,000.

37. How did they die?
Mainly from recurring typhus epidemics that ravaged war-torn Europe
during the war, as well as from starvation and lack of medical attention
during the final months of the conflict, when virtually all road and rail
transportation had been bombed out by the Allies.

38. What is typhus?
This disease always appears when many people are jammed together
under unsanitary conditions. It is carried by lice that infest hair and
clothes. Ironically, if the Germans had used more Zyklon B, more Jews
might have survived the camps.

39. What is the difference if six million or 300,000 Jews died during the Second
World War? 5,700,000.

40. Some Jewish“death camp” survivors say they saw bodies being dumped into
pits and burned. How much fuel would have been required for this?
A great deal more than the Germans had access to, as there was a
substantial fuel shortage during the war.

41. Can bodies be burned in pits?
No. It is impossible for human bodies to be totally consumed by flames in
this manner because of lack of oxygen.

42. Holocaust historians claim that the Nazis were able to cremate bodies in
about ten minutes. How long does it take to incinerate one body, according to
professional crematory operators?
About an hour and a half, although the larger bones require further
processing afterwards.

43. Why did the German concentration camps have crematory ovens?
To dispose efficiently and sanitarily of the corpses of those who had died.

44. Given a 100 percent duty cycle of all the crematories in all the camps in
German-controlled territory, what is the maximum number of corpses it would
have been possible to incinerate during the entire period such crematories were
in operation?nAbout 430,600.

45. Can a crematory oven be operated 100 percent of the time?
No. Fifty percent of the time is a generous estimate (12 hours per day).
Crematory ovens have to be cleaned thoroughly and regularly when in
heavy operation.

46. How much ash is left from a cremated corpse?
After the bone is all ground down, about a shoebox full.

47. If six million people had been incinerated by the Nazis, what happened to the
ashes? That remains to be“explained.”
Six million bodies would have produced
many tons of ashes, yet there is no evidence of any large ash depositories.

48. Do Allied wartime aerial reconnaissance photos of Auschwitz (taken during
the period when the“gas chambers”and crematoria were supposedly in full
operation) show evidence of extermination?
No. In fact, these photographs do not even reveal a trace of the enormous
amount of smoke that supposedly was constantly over the camp, nor do
they show evidence of the“open pits”in which bodies were allegedly
burned.

49. What was the main provision of the German“Nuremberg Laws”
of 1935?
They forbid marriage and sexual relations between Germans and Jews,
similar to laws existing in Israel today.

50. Were there any American precedents for the Nuremberg Laws?
Years before Hitler’s Third Reich, most states in the USA had enacted
laws prohibiting marriage between persons of different races.

51. What did the International Red Cross have to report with regard to the
“Holocaust”question?
An official report on the visit of an IRC delegation to Auschwitz in
September 1944 pointed out that internees were permitted to receive
packages, and that rumors of gas chambers could not be verified

52. What was the role of the Vatican during the time six million Jews were
allegedly being exterminated?
If there had been an extermination plan, the Vatican would most certainly
have been in a position to know about it. But because there was none, the
Vatican had no reason to speak out against it, and didn’t.

53. What evidence is there that Hitler knew of an on-going Jewish extermination
program? None.

54. Did the Nazis and the Zionists collaborate?
As early as 1933, Hitler’s government signed an agreement with the
Zionists permitting Jews to emigrate from Germany to Palestine, taking
large amounts of capital with them.

55. How did Anne Frank die?
After surviving internment in Auschwitz, she succumbed to typhus in the
Bergen-Belsen camp, just a few weeks before the end of the war. She
was not gassed.

56. Is the Anne Frank Diary genuine?
No. Evidence compiled by Dr. Robert Faurisson of France establishes that
the famous diary is a literary hoax.

57. What about the familiar photographs and film footage taken in the liberated
German camps showing piles of emaciated corpses? Are these faked?
Photographs can be faked, but its far easier merely to add a misleading
caption to a photo or commentary to a piece of footage. Piles of emaciated
corpses do not mean that these people were“gassed”or deliberately starved to death. Actually, these were tragic victims of raging epidemics or
of starvation due to a lack of food in the camps toward the end of the war.

58. Who originated the term“genocide”?
Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jew, in a book published in 1944.

59.
Are films such as“Schindler’s List”or“The Winds of War”
documentaries?
No. Such films are fictional dramatizations loosely based on history.
Unfortunately, all too many people accept them as accurate historical
representations.

60. How many books have been published that refute some aspect of the
standard“Holocaust”story?
Dozens. More are in production.

61. What happened when the Institute for Historical Review offered $50,000 to
anyone who could prove that Jews were gassed at Auschwitz?
No proof was submitted as a claim on the reward, but the Institute was
sued for $17 million by former Auschwitz inmate Mel Mermelstein, who
claimed that the reward offer caused him to lose sleep and his business to
suffer, and represented“injurious denial of established fact.

62. What about the charge that those who question the Holocaust story are
merely anti-Semitic or neo-Nazi?
This is a smear designed to draw attention away from facts and honest
arguments. Scholars who refute Holocaust story claims are of all
persuasions and ethnic-religious backgrounds (including Jewish). There is
no correlation between“Holocaust”refutation and anti-Semitism or neo-
Nazism. Increasing numbers of Jewish scholars openly admit the lack of
evidence for key Holocaust claims.

63.What has happened to“revisionist”historians who have challenged the
Holocaust story?
They have been subjected to smear campaigns, loss of academic
positions, loss of pensions, destruction of their property and physical
violence.

64. Has the Institute for Historical Review suffered any retaliation for its efforts to
uphold the right of freedom of speech and academic freedom?
The IHR had been bombed three times, and was completely destroyed on
July 4, 1984, in a criminal arson attack. Numerous death threats by
telephone have been received. Media coverage of the IHR has been
overwhelmingly hostile.

65. Why is there so little publicity for the revisionist view?
Because for political reasons the Establishment does not want any in-
depth discussion about the facts surrounding the Holocaust story.

66. Where can I get more information about the“other side” of the Holocaust
story, as well as facts concerning other aspects of World War II historical
revisionism?

The Institute for Historical Review,

http://www.ihr.org/

carries a wide variety of books, cassette, and video tapes on significant
historical subjects.
