One third of the Holocaust™^©®: Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec

This page is part of the section addressing the Holocaust™^©®. The videos from the one third of the Holocaust™^©® site are reproduced below. You may need to install Microsoft silverlight to watch the videos.

1. Introduction to Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec

The 'death camps' Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec made up nearly 1/3 of the Holocaust™^©®. Episode 1 explains what they were.

2. Water well in the midst of burial pits

On the map we see a water well surrounded by burial pits. The water well would have been contaminated. The storytellers didn't think of that.

3. Hair cuts before being gassed...no kidding!

If you're going to get off a train, and get gassed within the hour, and then thrown into a pit; what is the point of a haircut? Yet that's part of the story.

4. Using diesel engine exhaust to kill people...worthy of a Nobel Prize!

Engine exhaust seems like the best way to make carbon monoxide gas, if you're not a chemist, that is.

5. The thorough documentation at Nuremberg

Wasn't the Holocaust™^©® completely documented at Nuremberg? Yes it was. If you consider 20 minutes of courtroom time a thorough documentation of 1.5 million deaths.

6. A building used for gassing people to death

We look at a model of the gassing building that supposedly killed nearly the population equivalent to that of San Francisco, and find it odd that the building entrance didn't even have a set of double doors.

7. Abraham Bomba: barber par excellence

The featured witness for Treblinka at the US Holocaust™^©® Memorial Museum says something very odd: that the Germans disguised the gas chambers as a kind of hair salon, complete with professional barbers. As he says: "...make to believe that they're getting a nice haircut."

8. Eliyahu Rosenberg

A Treblinka witness at the Eichmann trial in 1961 makes some mistakes on the witness stand.

9. Reader's Digest on the 6 million figure before the Holocaust™^©® happened

An article in February 1943 first brought the Holocaust™^©® story to mainstream America. The article also mentioned six million--an uncanny number to throw out since the supposed fact hadn't happened yet.

10. German experimental innovativeness

Ridiculous experiments the Germans wouldn't have done. One of the most prestigious Holocaust™^©® scholars writes: "Incendiary bombs were tried, but these caused large fires in the surrounding woods." Uh, o.k.

11. Treblinka Burial Space

We use 3-D modeling to show that the burial space at Treblinka is too small. Way too small. The storytellers figured a few large pits would suffice for 700,000 bodies.

12. Belzec Burial Space

It's too small also, and we use the Rose Bowl Stadium during the Rose Bowl Game to show that. Watch episode 11 first or this chapter won't make sense.

13. Sobibor Burial Space

Let's put it this way, you can't bury the equivalent of the stadium spectators of the Rose Bowl Game in two pits not much bigger than a chicken coop, and then sentence someone to life imprisonment based on "the evidence." Something just isn't right.

14. Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation and Sobibor witness Alexander Pechersky.

Excerpt: "This young black man might be thinking that the slavery that happened to his ancestors is nothing compared to the Holocaust™^©®. Except what happened to his ancestors really happened."

15. Rain, ice, wind: the cremation fires keep on burning

There's some elements that the storytellers forgot about. Outdoor cremation fires in the middle of winter, for instance, might work better if they had a roof over them. You know, for when it rained and stuff.

16. The escape tunnel

At Sobibor they tried to dig an escape tunnel. They could only dig down 5 feet because they said there was a danger of striking water past that. One problem the storytellers forgot about: the burial pits are described as 23 feet deep.

17. The Belzec chronicles

A few Belzec-related stories weaved together. Most people would probably agree that barbed wire with tree branches propped into it is not a great example of good design for a security fence in a death camp. We comment on Josef Oberhauser and Rudolf Reder.

18. Physical evidence part 1

Why we know more about a tsunami that hit in the year 1700 than what's underground at Treblinka. We also look at some excerpts from the movie "Mr. Death."

19. Physical evidence part 2

Admittedly, mixing Holocaust™^©® denial with an episode of the 70's tv show Charlie's Angels seems odd, at first glance that is.

20. The Soviets arrive at Treblinka

Holocaust™^©® historians copiously write about what the Soviets found when they took over Auschwitz, but strangely omit what the Soviets found when they took over Treblinka. Why is that? Also, when Professor Boder went to Europe after the war to document the Holocaust™^©®, he was likely surprised at what people had to say.

21. Destoying evidence: Treblinka compared to Auschwitz

At Treblinka they supposedly destroyed all traces that the camp ever existed. They even tore up the railroad tracks leading to the camp. But at Auschwitz they left 7 tons of human hair and 7,000 Jewish inmate eyewitnesses waiting to speak to the Soviets. Why is that?

22. Dr. Berman testifies

No one informed Dr. Berman that the Germans purportedly left Treblinka without leaving a trace. Thus his story of the "10's of thousands of little shoes of little children" is problematic.

23. Burning a lamb

Excerpt: "We're going to cremate a leg of lamb at the beach as a way to better understand the outdoor cremation process."

24. Bone crushing

It looks like three flowers on a football field, but what it's showing is that it takes space to crush that many bones. And no space is given on the maps for bone crushing.

25. The Flameable Fence (the Germans wouldn't have had)

They burned a "B as in Bruce" quarter Billion pounds of wood in an area enclosed by a tree branch fence. Hmmm.

Treblinka had two fences. This was the inner fence.

26. Treblinka's Outer Fence

No tanks are going to get into this camp! What with the anti-tank obstacles surrounding it. But does that make sense? Wouldn't the large gun mounted on the front of a tank make it unneccessary for the tank to need to enter the camp?

27. Confessing Germans part 1: Kurt Gerstein

SS Officer Kurt Gerstein presented himself to his French captors as a very important eyewitness--one of a handful of people who had seen Belzec. Presenting himself as valuable was a strategy for staying alive.

28. Confessing Germans part 2: Adolf Eichmann, Franz Suchomel

Adolf Eichmann purposely said the most ridiculous things in his 1961 trial. And the reporters at the New York Times amazingly believed him. It's amazing what people will believe when evil is in the equation.

29. Book: Treblinka by Alexander Donat

It's a book respected by Holocaust™^©® historians. Nevermind that the author has a story to top his peers: that he and his wife survived 9 death camps. We also look at the following question: "What happened to the Jews of Europe? Did they just disappear out of thin air?" We look at it, and answer it.

30. The conclusion

Teaching "Tolerance" is great.

Suggestion: Use real examples.

Like the American Indians. You don't need to use a lie-example, when there's plenty of real examples.

We conclude by looking at how the belief in the holocaust leads to unfair United States foreign policy in the Middle East, and from that, what Americans then spend their time reading about in the newspapers.
