As Many As 90% Of Those Claiming To Be Holocaust Survivors May Be Frauds

By Gordon Duff * | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz

What Would The Real Camp Survivors Tell Us?

Last week, 17 men were arrested in New York for defrauding Germany out of $42 million in payments to phony holocaust survivors. Tens of thousands of American Jews had filed for pensions from Germany claiming to be concentration camp survivors. All swore they had been in the camps, told stories about gas chambers, human skin lampshades and such but not a single one had been in a camp at all. The state of Israel claims to have, alive today, nearly one million holocaust survivors.

As many as 90% of these may well be, not only frauds but many could easily be former concentration camp guards themselves, far more likely than surviving death camps. What better place to hide than Israel?

With numbers of camp survivors going up each year, we tend to forget we are talking about death camps. There were few survivors and most of them died immediately after the war. Those alive were found dying and couldn't be saved, and most of them weren't Jews but rather Russians, Gypsies, Communists, trade unionists and anti-Fascists.

Look at the numbers. There were only 5.3 million Jews listed as living in Europe, outside the USSR, in 1940. In a rough average, 12 death camps, filled to the brim with gas chambers and crematoriums ran 24 hours a day for 1000 days. Some are said, in testimony of literally thousands, to have killed from 17,000 to 20,000 per day. Lets use the figure, 10,000 per day times 12 camps times 1000 days.

Where do a million survivors come from? I can see a thousand, ten thousand but not 30,000 and certainly not the 15 million necessary to justify the current number of claimed survivors according to typical actuarial tables for healthy adults of the period, those who were not starved and tortured for years. Look at Vietnam veterans. Only 700,000 of 2.9 million survive 35 years after the war. Something is wrong here.

STOLEN VALOR

There are laws in the United States that punish people who wear military medals they didn't earn or claim other such honors. When veterans discover someone claiming falsely to have served in war, that individual is arrested but also publicly humiliated. They are hunted down like dogs.

There are concentration camp survivors living in America, people who suffered incomprehensibly at the hands of the Nazis. However, there are also, in America we now know, tens of thousands or more who claim falsely to be of the heroic numbers from that period and numbers inside Israel that are unimaginable. Why are these people not punished?

As a Vietnam veteran, I share a common problem with others. For 4 decades, I met veteran after veteran, many were children when the war ended, but each claims some honor tied to military service based on a movie or television show. I have met, over the years, hundreds of such individuals, many at meetings of veterans organizations. I don't find it horrible or destructive but it is disturbing and I won't even remotely begin comparing service in Vietnam with the experience of a death camp.

LAST WEEK

Last week, authorities announced that those who had wrongly filed for benefits had been fooled somehow. I can see fooling someone as to whether they had seen a televisions show or not but there is only one American I can think of who imagined he had been in a death camp who hadn't and that was President Ronald Reagan and he only claimed to have visited. Reagan's error was based on dementia, not profit or gain. Now it seems, not only do we have tens of thousands of people who have a single false memory, they seem to remember years of horror, incredible detail and all of it is utterly false. There is no comparison, not with Reagan, not with Vietnam veterans, not with anyone.

Reagan's error, despite the respect he is held in and his obvious illness, was been used to defame him countless times. His error was not only honest but done in the context of human feeling. How many of the others are lying, not only for financial gain but for something less wholesome?

Why then, in the name of all that is holy, did the authorities and news media immediately write this off as tens of thousands of cases of minor lapses in judgement rather than one of the most horrible moral crimes of all time?

There is no greater disrespect for a holocaust victim than this.

REVISIONISTS AND DENIERS

Two thousand people in Europe are in prison today for questioning some part, no matter how minor, of the holocaust. The official story of the holocaust is a compendium of testimony of several hundred thousand people as there was little physical evidence left at the end of the war. Some facilities were reconstructed based on testimony, for historical perspective but in general, it is believed that the Germans destroyed all evidence of death camps and mass graves when they learned they were losing the war.

Thousands of those who find this explanation unsatisfactory and had chosen to disagree, some noted historians, some scientists and some simple troublemakers and activists, have been imprisoned. At the trials, holocaust victims claimed that such questioning harmed them irreparably. However, not one holocaust victim has ever spoken up about the endless numbers of phony holocaust victims who besmirch them every day and have for nearly 65 years. Why is that?

One thing the revisionists claim is that almost every story from the holocaust, including notable books and even world famous holocaust survivors are, in actuality, the worst phonies of all. The analogy of the "phony veteran" is applicable here. After each war, endless numbers of those, who for reasons legitimate or not, felt their contribution to the war effort was less than honorable or noteworthy, claim accomplishments they are undeserving of. It is also known that combat veterans are seldom seen on bar stools at service organizations talking about heroic exploits.

In fact, as Americans are learning more and more each day, combat veterans have great difficulty surviving coming home and are often homeless, incarcerated and commit suicide in huge numbers. It would be easy to extrapolate the same for holocaust survivors. There is no greater potential cause of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the history of mankind than the concentration camps of World War 2. Not only would survivors kill themselves out of guilt, most would suffer greatly shortened lifespans. This has been amazingly well documented.

This being the case, only a few hundred holocaust survivors could be alive today, not the one million living in Israel.

HONESTY AND TRUTH

Anyone imprisoned wrongly, anyone whose family was killed or whose assets were seized illegally, should be compensated. Anyone wrongly claiming to be part of a group they are not, one this unique in the history of mankind, deserves punishment. Why is this not done? Why is there no normal social pressure to "out" these people and defend the honor of holocaust survivors?

Has anyone ever asked a real holocaust survivor what it is like to see phonies continually on television talking about the holocaust? Do they forgive? We will never know, as it seems nobody cares about real holocaust survivors. The holocaust is brought up when Israel bombs a school or asks for foreign aid but as for the people themselves, these misuses of the suffering of some cheapen human misery and the human condition.

NEVER AGAIN, WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?

If one child was taken away, died in a gas chamber, typhus, shot, it doesn't matter, one life, this is a holocaust. If it was done because of race, the crime is doubly evil in nature. The lesson of "never again" was meant to be a lesson for all mankind to treat every single life with the same honor and respect, not to use the suffering of some as an excuse for financial crime, self delusion or outrageous acts of aggression.

Instead, the holocaust has become theatre, a stage for two sides to debate, to play, to "lawyer" the world to death. Some feel they should fight the holocaust because it has become a tool of evil. Some defend it because it is a tool of evil also but they believe the world is evil and only evil men are meant to survive.

Picture the death of a single child. Then go to the trial of a "holocaust denier." Who is evil? Who is good? Do any of them ever think of the single child or only how it died, who signed what or how many Palestinian children could be murdered just like that child, in that child's name perhaps?

THE REAL WAR

Why ask the question if 6 million Jews died? It is equally possible that 6 million Germans died in the Ukraine and Europe, not soldiers, not in air raids, but in a holocaust type extinction. This is not talked of but it happened. All of us, Jews, Germans, the west, all of us, were silent when Josef Stalin killed twice that number or more. It started before the war and continued after. The human suffering caused by Stalin was immeasurable but is never spoken of, barely touched on except by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and now his books are banned. They fail to conform to popular mythology.

There was nothing pure about the real war as there is nothing pure about wars today. The myths we may or may not make up to protect some are never really to protect anyone. The weak and vulnerable are never protected, only the powerful. This is how the powerful become such and remain that way. We are such liars.

Nobody ever cared about the holocaust survivors only what using their suffering would bring in honor and riches. Is this the truth? Is this the partial truth? Has anyone asked the hard questions, the real questions? Isn't it time that all the survivors got together? Some voice is needed, a voice that can say "never again' with authority.

But.."never again"...what?

Judaic Republic Of Iran?

It is one thing if a spokesman for Bibi Netanyahu's Likudist government had tried this, but it was all the networks and newspapers in America, all carrying the same story, a story, not only inaccurate but an outrageous lie. The story, the translation, was so false, that it should have been a joke were it not being used to try to convince America to attack Iran to "defend" Israel. This is what Ahmadinejad actually said:

"History will erase the Zionism from the sands of time"

Even though misquoted, "Cardboard Lethario" Ahmadinejad isn't hard to pick out, an actor, waiting for cues from his handlers, waiting in the wings, his "Tel Aviv connection." Weak as all these Iranian theatrics may be, they are all Israel has to work with nowadays, that and bottle rockets from Stalag Gaza. Building a holocaust threat out of Israeli mole, Ahmadinejad, isn't even a "cardboard" threat.

Using the same logic, every time someone in Israel washes their clothes, they must call it a "soil and stain holocaust." No, none of it is funny, but not because Jews have been persecuted for centuries but rather because we are learning they have built an industry out of selling their own "victimhood."

Whenever you hear an outrageous attack on Israel or Jews, you can be certain of one thing, it is a "false flag" attack, Jews attacking themselves. With the one of the largest intelligence/terror organizations on earth, 500 times the estimated size of Al Qaeda, and openly operating in over 190 countries worldwide, along with direct control of over 40% of the world's economic resources and hundreds of nuclear weapons, seeming like a victim takes a considerable effort. Think of the kind of "imagineering" required to fool a nation of Jews, half of them Nobel Prize winners, to hide under their beds?

One "self induced" Israeli threat is "holocaust denial."

Managing the holocaust denial movements the same way they dominate the 9/11 Truth movements and the Tea Party, all "field based warfare" tactics, controlling the information age "battlefield," is how Israel plays both sides against the middle. Thus, a candidate now accused of being a "witch" can win a Senate primary for the Tea Party. Her campaign is financed by Zionists but after winning a primary, the same Zionists in their newspapers are the first to turn on her. Why is this? Offer Americans hope for freedom from the two owned and controlled useless political parties. Then smash that hope. Why would anyone hate America that much?

Imagine a 9/11 Truth group that will avoid talking about arrested Israeli agents or the mysterious destruction of building 7 "ordered" by Larry Silverstein but rather chooses to focus on UFOs and useless infighting.

There are more Mossad operatives in "9/11 Truth" than FBI Agents in the 1960s KKK.

Obama "Propaganda Czar" Cass Sunstein, an Israeli -American (if such things can exist) has continually stressed that all "9/11 Truth" groups be seen as "enemies of America." Why do the terms "Israeli-American" and "truth is un-American" used in this context not surprise me?

We wonder why the 140 Israeli's arrested in the US after 9/11 were released almost immediately, many with no questioning at all, and 75% of all Muslims arrested, some detained for many years, have proven to be "mistaken identity." All but a handful of the rest are awaiting release with the government continually filing motions to prevent the public from discovering the abuses tied to their detention and arrest, all without any cause, any evidence or even any reasonable suspicion. Were they Jews, they would have had "extralegal" protections, above and beyond American law.

Does "Holocaustsploitation" help create this environment of lawlessness which may have endangered America?

Israel pushes the focus of holocaust denial into worship of Hitler, not accurate documentation of factual history so that innocent researchers like Ernst Zundel are imprisoned. Historians in Europe, in Canada, face years in prison, not for denying anything but failing to read, word for word, from prepared "talking points" on the holocaust. It is safer putting up a billboard in Saudi Arabia insulting the Prophet (peace be on him) than saying only 5 million Jews died in the holocaust.

In Europe, a teacher can go to jail for misstating a number. Any lawyer that agrees to represent them is automatically imprisoned also. No, I am not kidding, this is law in Europe, law in Canada and it is ruthlessly enforced. Historians studying World War II who stumble upon "banned" or "disapproved" documents face years in prison.

Laws passed to protect Jews from crazed extremists, who like Adam Perlman are Jews themselves, are never enforced against Jews. How many hundreds of times did Americans watch Adam Perlman pretend to be the Al Qaeda spokeman, taking credit for 9/11 and ranting threats, always timed for a news cycle, an Israeli funding bill or the election of a political candidate willing to send American troops to fight Israel's wars of choice.

Perlman got as much publicity as Madonna until the fact he was a phony began to leak out. From that second on, it was as though he had vanished from the face of the earth. We are told that Blackwater teams are looking for him in Karachi, Paksitan. We might suggest some place else where they are more likely to find him.

The last thing Israel wants is people really looking at Gaza, 9/11, financial crimes in the US, the Israel lobby and the lies and massive corruption tied to these and other issues. Running a "circus" through exploiting the weak Sarkozy and Merkel governments of France and Germany, little but client states of Israel, requires almost no effort at all.

In fact, at the same time, Israel orchestrates hate campaigns against, not only the Roma, but Muslims across Europe. In fact, millions are spent every month in what can only be an attempt to organize a holocaust in Europe against Muslims. One has already begun in France against the Roma, once carefully orchestrated in Tel Aviv and put into motion by Nicholas Sarkozy, president of France and an ethnic Jew.

That president Sarkozy's plan to expel the ethnic Roma population of France, all legally residing in that country, in accordance with European Union laws, an illegal act deeply parallel to Israel's expulsion of Palestinians, may only be coincidental. Could Sarkozy's acts be inspired by Tel Aviv?

DID ISRAEL CREATE "HOLOCAUST DENIAL?"

We don't hear much about "historical revisionism" or "holocaust denial" in the United States. Any university, any journalist who would attempt to discuss such things would be crushed immediately and many have. In Europe it was different. The Germans hate the idea of, generation after generation, being blamed for being Nazi butchers. So, when certain aspects of the holocaust began to seem, let us say, "fictional" or "insubstantial," Germans and others jumped on it. Testimony, documentation and scientific evidence supplied by "revisionist" historians began to make a case, one some found compelling, that much of what was reported, seen in films, even testified to at Nuremberg, was simply invented. Thus began a controversy between two warring sides or are they two sides at all. What if one side was on both sides, fighting with itself just to seem like the offended party? It wouldn't be the first time.

No real historian denies the holocaust. 60 million died in World War II, most Russians. Doubting anything happened is insane and doubting that Jews were persecuted by the Nazis is without realistic basis. Additionally, any moralist will has to consider a single death a holocaust, the future of a single child, a disaster.

These are the real issues but "holocaust denial" was never about what was real or what was reasonable. There seemed only one reason for the "movement," to prove that there were enough dangerous and insane Nazi maniacs in Europe, even today, to require suspension of freedom of speech to silence them. Only one candidate for that honor can be found, Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France and, oddly enough, for those who are unaware, Sarkozy is a Jew.

Laws forbidding Holocaust Denialism, as it is called, throughout Europe and even in Canada are an admission that a substantial threat exists in those countries of the people rising up and murdering Jews. If the case for suspension of rights of speech and due process were, however, based on, not a dangerous mass movement but rather a few "false flag" actors working in conjunction with powerful Israeli owned press organizations throughout these nations, then who is the real victim?

However, rather than simply asking questions, it quickly went much further with cartoon character "neo-Nazi" types bragging about death camps or trying to make a hero out of Hitler and his gang of cut throats. There was a sudden explosion of crazy "holocaust denial" types, violent, dirty and evil. In order to protect the minds of impressionable European children, any discussion of the holocaust had to be immediately outlawed.

Problem is, the "crazy" holocaust denialists were Jews, same as with Adam Perlman, the famous American Al Qaeda spokesman whose grandfather ran the Anti-Defamation League.

Would Israel stage attacks on Jews simply to gain support from the United States or special laws protecting Jews in Europe and Canada? We know that Israel organized synagogue burnings in regions of Europe and North Africa in order to convince Jews to emigrate to Israel. This is now admitted and the reasons are explained as "necessary based on need at the time." The motives are there, the evidence is available. If Israel has been involved in organizing Holocaust Denial, much as with the current wave of accusations tying Israel to 9/11 and other terrorist acts, how can this be investigated without breaking laws?

Why the "Catch 22?"

December 2001 Funeral Announcement For Osama Bin Laden (Egyptian News Sources)

We have seen where, by attacking the holocaust, laws giving special privileges to Jews that no other group in the world enjoys were passed, laws that are unconstitutional in each nation that passed them.

The real question is not whether everything said by some happened or if more were killed, perhaps under even more brutal circumstances than films and television depict. The threat against Jews was exclusively European, there were no Arabs, no Muslims involved in any way. Thus, the continual use of the phrase "never again" has to be aimed exclusively at Western Europe where all participants in the holocaust against the Jews originated, all Christians, all white.

No Spielberg movie ever showed a Jew being gassed by a Berber or Persian.

Then the danger Israel is said to be protecting its citizens and the Jews of the world it claims to speak for is a European danger, Britain, France, Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Luxembourg, Austria, Belgium. Poland was under German or German/Russian control. Czech no longer existed nor did Slovakia.

Thus, we are being told that the real threat is a general uprising in Western Europe or perhaps a political movement meant to imprison and murder the Jews of those countries. There could be no other rationale as there is absolutely no evidence of attacks on Jews in any other area of the world.

What facts provide the basis of these beliefs?

THE THEORY OF "TRANSFERENCE"

In psychology, a common symptom of a personality disorder is "transference." This is a "stimulus/response" cycle gone awry, with the subject responding to a stimulus from one party by responding to an unrelated third party.

"Jack hits John so John must hit Jim back. (and bulldoze Mary's house)"

We have just defined the State of Israel.

"Jack kills John's grandmother so John must murder Khalid's granddaughter."

We have just defined the conflict between Jews and Palestinians.

"Jack kills John's grandmother so John must have Uncle Sam go on a rampage of global slaughter. The best part is that Jack's grandson agrees to help, proving how "decent" he is."

Satire: Harvard law school expels star student for 'holocaust denial'

CAMBRIDGE, Mass (AP) What began as a minor citation in a scholarly work ended up causing Noor Aljiem to be expelled from Harvard Law School. Aljiem, a third-year student majoring in criminal law, submitted a paper that examined Nazi travesties of criminal law, and received an ‘A' grade. She was set to graduate Summa Cum Laude at the end of this semester, but the university law school was forced to reconsider her status when criminal law professor Alan Dershowitz criticized Njiem's scholarship.

"She could have used any number of sources for her paper," Dershowitz' explained, "but for some reason, one of her citations mentioned the book Did Six Million Really Die? by imprisoned Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel."

"I admit there were misunderstandings," Njiem says. "But I did not actually quote the book. I quoted a German legal reference that happened to be cited in the book. Also, the citation was only one of three hundred miscellaneous citations in my paper, and I was commended for the thoroughness of my research. Furthermore the author of Did Six Million Really Die? was not Ernst Zundel, but Richard Verrall, whose pen name was Richard Harwood. Zundel merely helped Harwood to get Harwood's book published."

Saul Rubin, Dean of Harvard Law School, submitted the matter to an academic review board. "The German legal reference was obscure, and Ms. Njiem could have citied it directly, or through some other work," Rubin says. "That fact that her paper's bibliography mentioned Zundel's Did Six Million Really Die? is indicative of carelessness or maliciousness. Either way, we were forced to take Ms. Aljiem's status under advisement."

A series of further misunderstandings ensued, at the end of which the review board ruled against Najiem. Harvard Law School was forced to revoke her academic status, which had the effect of expelling her.

"Zundel's book has been outlawed in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and most of mainland Europe," Dershowitz explains. "To take a hate-filled reference that has been outlawed in so many nations, and cite it in a scholarly work, strikes me as more than a coincidence."

Alhiem, who is a Muslim, asked the law school if it would expel a student for citing Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, which has been outlawed in most Muslim nations.

"They told me they would not, because Rushdie's book does not deny the Holocaust. They also objected to my use of a book that has been banned in several countries. My position is that many banned books turn out later to be literary classics. The Soviet Union banned Orwell's novel 1984. England banned Orwell's Animal Farm, plus Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. America banned Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery book Uncle Tom's Cabin. Iran banned Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita. Is America the same as the Islamofascists?"

"That's a clever argument," Dershowitz says, "but none of those books killed six million people. Moreover, a book like Rushdies' Satanic Verses merely questions theology and belief, while Zundel's book is a hate-filled assault on well-documented truth."

Njiem submitted a formal apology, and offered to rewrite the paper without the citation, but dean Saul Rubin said the review board's decision was final, and was out of his hands.

"I can see the board's point," Rubin explains. "When a person commits a robbery, do we excuse her merely because she says he's sorry? As an aspiring criminal attorney, Ms. Njiem surely realizes that all of us must take personal responsibility for our actions."

After her expulsion, Njiem applied to other law schools in the hope of finishing her education, but she says they all rejected her because of the incident at Harvard.

"Now I have no way to pay back my school loans. Harvard wants to make an example of me. They also want to separate Muslims from the rest of American society by creating the illusion that only Muslims deserve to be attacked. In reality, many people are attacked; not just Muslims."

"That's a typical blame-the-victim response," Dershowitz says. "Whenever hate is exposed, its perpetrators claim that their people are singled out as a group for unfair treatment. This is only my opinion, but it seems to me that all Muslims over-generalize, especially about Jews. Also, it is absurd for Ms. Njiem to claim that only Muslims are held accountable. Is Zundel, the book's author, a Muslim? We see this kind of illogic and selective memory all the time. Frankly, I find it hypocritical."

Aljiem plans to sue the university law school to reinstate her academic status. Representing the law school will be a team led Alan Dershowitz, who was not part of the review board.
