This document discusses how academic historians uncritically accept certain "dogmas" about World War 2 and the Holocaust without proper scrutiny of evidence. Specifically, it argues that historians:
1) Ignore the lack of material evidence supporting the Holocaust and assume the Nazis completely destroyed all evidence.
2) Cite documents as proof of the Holocaust without examining their authenticity, origins, or accuracy of translations. Many key documents first appeared during the Nuremberg trials without original sources.
3) Fail to fulfill their duty to objectively analyze evidence and consider alternative interpretations, instead enforcing an orthodox view of events for political and social reasons. This undermines their role as truth-seeking historians.
The fact is, the Holocaust is about money, legitimacy for Israel, and the total denial of any
moral failings (or evilness) in the Jewish people. Jews are outraged when it is mentioned that
many gypsies and Russians suffered the same fate as Jews, because to compare a sub-human
to a Jew is unspeakable. The Jewish scripture declares that the life of a Jew is the most
priceless thing to "god" and the life of a non-Jew or "goy" is worthless. The Jews have a
history of crying "holocaust."

Тодор Дичев. Никола Николов. ЗЛОВЕЩИЙ ЗАГОВОРВасиль Петренко
Почти все люди на земле говорят о мире и искренне его желают.
Тогда почему одно государство воюет с другим, почему люди
ненавидят друг друга? Может существуют какие-то невидимые силы,
которые вынуждают людей стремиться к тому, что им не свойственно
и что противоречит их интересам? Действительно, есть ли такая
скрытая сила, которая контролирует весь мир?
В чем секрет вcex неслыханных и невиданных жестокостей, средств
массового уничтожения человечества, таких как биологическое и
психотронное оружие, ядовитые газы, боевые отравляющие вещества,
атомные бомбы,, напалм и других? Может быть это дело рук той
самой невидимой и хорошо замаскированной силы, о которой даже
говорится в самой Библии? Мы прочитали много материалов из
различных источников, просеяли огромный балласт литературы по
этим вопросам, прежде чем докопались до истины. Установили, что
99% всей имеющейся литературы контролируется и пишется хорошо
замаскированной закулисной силой. Эта же сила фактически
контролирует, организует и проводит все телевизионные и
радиопередачи. Большая часть исторических данных извращена и не
отражает подлинную историю. Каждая нация, описывая свою
историю, приукрашивает факты. Это делается с целью выглядеть
более героически в глазах своей же нации, перед другими народами и
перед лицом всей истории. Великий французский поэт и
государственный деятель Ламартин в своей газете «Советник народа»
еще в 1849 году настоятельно требовал, чтобы история переписалась
заново, совершенно сознательно и без искажения исторических
фактов. Это не случайное, а закономерное и очень мудрое духовное
завещание все еще не реализовано, к сожалению. Наша цель
обобщить и объяснить большинство вопросов и проблем, которые
прямо или косвенно касаются человека и общества. Мы искренно
желаем помочь людям, давая им больше информации и мало
известных фактов, сведений и знаний по этим вопросам, которые
возможно спасут и освободят их от скрытых недругов и явных врагов.
Хьюстон Стюарт Чемберлен.Основания девятнадцатого столетия. Том IВасиль Петренко
Появление книги X. С. Чемберлена в свое время — в конце XIX века — произвело сенсацию. Одни восприняли ее как своего рода Евангелие, дающее ответ на духовные и культурно–исторические вопросы общества, другие — как свидетельство глубочайшего упадка европейского гуманизма и культуры. Образчиком этого упадка как раз и явилось сочинение Чемберлена, попытавшегося объяснить законы социально–культурного развития с позиций расового учения, в нем достиг своего апофеоза культ германизма как высшей формы культуры.
Тревожные симптомы тех эксцессов, которые поражали европейское общество столетие тому назад, обнаруживаются вновь, и для понимания их сущности и природы мы вынуждены обращаться к такого рода раритетам.
Хьюстон Стюарт Чемберлен.Основания девятнадцатого столетия. Том IIВасиль Петренко
Представленный читателю основной труд X. С. Чемберлена даст возможность новому поколению самому определиться в своих оценках, идеалах и предпочтениях, а не пользоваться наследием прежней идеологии и порожденными ею стереотипами. Знакомство с первоисточниками, о которых сложились одиозные суждения, но их содержание осталось неизвестным, лучший путь к переоценке ценностей.
Интерес к сочинениям Чемберлена лежит в плоскости тех событий, которые составили черную полосу истории Европы. Имя Чемберлена было окружено весьма специфическим ореолом провозвестника идей германского тоталитаризма. Немаловажно прояснить, каким образом, пусть и провокационные, но все же абстрактные идеи и понятия вдруг способны превращаться в политические программы.
В книге затрагиваются вопросы религии и государства, христианства, мифологии, германизма и многие другие.
Почему Гитлер объявил войну Соединенным Штатам АмерикиВасиль Петренко
Официальные историки заявляют, что Адольф Гитлер допустил ошибку, объ-явив войну США. Например, британский историк Эндрю Робертс писал: [1]«Оглядываясь назад, это кажется невообразимой глупостью, самонадеянным актом самоубийства, совершенным менее чем через полгода после нападения на Советский Союз. Америка была огромной страной, в которую нельзя было вторгнуться, обладающей гигантскими производственными мощностями, и ее вмешательство в 1917-18 годах решило судьбу Германии в Великой войне». Историк Мартин Гилберт писал в связи с объявлением Германией войны США: [2]«Это была, пожалуй, величайшая ошибка и, безусловно, единственное самое решающее действие Второй мировой войны». В этой статье я объясню, почему Гитлер был вынужден объявить войну США.

Доктор Генрих Клюг, Славянская легенда - историческая ложьВасиль Петренко
Статья из журнала «Der Schlesier» («Силезец») от 19 ноября 2010 года. Польская история и принадлежащая к ней известная уже двести лет славянская теория окружены мифами, легендами, религией, ложью, полуправдой и пропагандой. До сих пор этой теорией успешно злоупотребляли в целях польского империализма, прежде всего, для натиска поляков на запад. Она вместе с тем также представляет собой составную часть многовековой антигерманской, т.е. антинемецкой политики. То, что необразованные, простые люди верят в это, понятно. Однако не только необразованные, некомпетентные люди поддерживают существование этой легенды, скорее это делают полуобразованные и те, кто считает себя образованным. Особенно приспособившиеся к политической реальности историки, политики и невежественные интеллектуалы, по меньшей мере, считающие себя таковыми, несут самую большую ответственность за трагический ход немецко-польской истории в двадцатом веке. Платить за славянскую теорию пришлось Германии, прежде всего, однако, восточным немцам. Одна треть территории Германской империи была утрачена. Миллионы людей были убиты при самых жестоких обстоятельствах и еще больше – целых пятнадцать миллионов - были изгнаны со своей родины, принадлежавшей им веками.

Североатлантический альянс окажется в состоянии горячей фазы войны с Россией в течение года в случае, если не усилит своё присутствие в Прибалтике. Отставной британский генерал Ричард Ширрефф описал такой сценарий развития событий в книге «2017: Война с Россией», которая вызвала удивление из-за вероятности того, что «новая холодная война» так скоро может перерасти в «горячую войну».
В книге Ричарда Ширреффа прогнозируется вторжение российских войск в Латвию в мае 2017 года и одновременно эскалация конфликта в Украине для создания «сухопутного коридора» в оккупированный россиянами Крым.
Ричард Ширрефф был заместителем в ставке верховного главнокомандующего НАТО в Европе — с 2011 по 2014 г.г. Ранее Ширрефф служил в Северной Ирландии, на Балканах, в Ираке, был командующим британским танковым подразделением во время первой войны в Персидском заливе. Главная цель книги — «2017: Война с Россией» по словам автора, оценить важность сильного и эффективного противовеса для предотвращения такой маловероятной возможности».

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Historians or hoaxers?
The unprofessional disdain of academic historians for
documenting the Holocaust
Carl Wernerhoff
http://hedrook.vho.org/eng/wernerhoff.htm
Historians sometimes think of themselves as truthtellers and iconoclasts. One
Canadian historian, for example, places the following quotation from Khrushchev as
an epigraph at the head of her website:
'Historians are dangerous people. They are capable of upsetting everything.'[1]
Yet this is only true of real historians, those who are prepared to tell the truth
about the past without fear or favour. It is doubtful that more than a handful of
such historians have appeared in any given century.
Certainly, there is little reason to attribute to academic historians today either
truthtelling or iconoclastic potential. Indeed, it is hard to think of a single academic
historian who has ruffled a politician's feathers in a very long time, let alone one
who has rocked a political establishment.[2] The risks of genuine scholarly
independence, such as loss of tenure, the loss of prestige, professional and social
ostracism, and the loss of a means of livelihood are so great that they ensure that
most academics conform to the expectations of their peers and the heads of their
institutions.
One only has to be aware of the trials and tribulations of New Zealand historian Joel
Hayward, whose 1991 M.A. thesis gave a fair, and in certain respects sympathetic
assessment of Holocaust revisionism, to appreciate the fact that an historian who
upsets things has no future in academia.[3] In 2002, Hayward was forced by the
pressure of the controversy over his M.A. to resign his tenured position as a Senior
Lecturer in Defence and Strategic Studies at Massey University, Canterbury, N.Z.
Although Hayward is now employed again (apparently by a British military college),
his website trumpets the fact that he is a 'NON-REVISIONIST scholar.' In short, if
Hayward is working as an historian again today, it is only because these days he
flaunts his non-revisionism and his philo-Zionism. (He maintains, for example, that
'Israel clearly has a right to exist within its current borders.') Given that his latest
book is about Lord Nelson, it also looks like a condition of his current employment
is that he stays well away from WWII-related subjects.
The result for Hayward is probably the BEST that could be expected for any
academic who shows even the slightest objectivity in relation to the Holocaust.
Today, academic historians are the zealous watchdogs of orthodoxy, the political
religion of post-WWII liberal democracy. Subscribing to this religion is now
mandatory - we are talking about an orthodoxy that is as rigidly enforced as any in
any historical period, not excluding under dictatorships such as those of Hitler and
Stalin.
2. Global eBook Samvydav Corp. Carl Wernerhoff. Historians or hoaxers? Page 2
Although this political religion lacks a name, its dogmas - which comprise the core
of what most ordinary people think they know about modern history - include the
following:
1. The Nazi regime was the most evil which has ever existed.
2. Hitler was the most evil man who has ever lived.
3. Hitler and the Nazis cannot be viewed negatively enough because they
perpetrated the most evil crime ever perpetrated, the Holocaust. This was an evil
plan, the most evil ever devised, to exterminate the Jews. The plan was the fruit of
Hitler's radical anti-semitism.
4. WWII was a good war because it led to the overthrow of Hitler and the Nazis. It
doesn't matter an iota how many people were killed in the war, because the
removal of the Nazi regime was a good at any price.
5. Winston Churchill is one of the greatest men in history because only he realized
how truly evil the Nazis were. If it wasn't for him, England may never gone to war
with Germany and the Nazi regime might not have been overthrown, with
consequences too terrible to even think about.
6. Stalin was nearly as bad as Hitler, but at least he didn't try to exterminate the
Jews and at least he helped overthrow the Nazis. However, he did confine many of
his political enemies to gulags, which were pretty much the same things as
concentration camps, so he was still very, very bad.
7. Hitler and Stalin headed totalitarian regimes of right and left respectively.
8. Because both leftwing and rightwing totalitarianism are so bad, the only viable
political alternative to either is liberal democracy.
9. Because liberal democracy overthrew Hitler and the Nazis, it proves just how
virtuous and benevolent it is.
10. You cannot say anything good about Hitler. If you do, it means you are a
crypto-Nazi and therefore as bad as Hitler yourself.
11. It is not permissible to say anything that would suggest that Nazi crimes were
not as bad as historians maintain. If you do, it means you are seeking to 'minimise'
Nazi crimes. Anyone who seeks to 'minimise' Nazi crimes has to be a crypto-Nazi.
On the other hand, you are allowed to say that Nazi crimes were even worse than
historians previously maintained. While it is not permissible to 'minimize' Nazi
crimes, it is permissible, indeed actually encouraged, to maximise them, even if
you're lying.
12. It is not permissible to say anything bad about Jews, who have always and
everywhere been totally innocent and unfairly persecuted. To criticise Jews is to
engage in anti-semitism, and no matter how different the circumstances may be
anti-semitism always has the potential to trigger another Holocaust.
13. Under no circumstances can you say that WW II was fought for the benefit of
the Jews. You have to say that it was fought for 'democracy.'
3. Global eBook Samvydav Corp. Carl Wernerhoff. Historians or hoaxers? Page 3
14. Since the Allies' aim was to overthrow the Nazi dictatorship, nothing the Allies
did during the war, no matter how heinous, and whether it was done to the
Germans or to someone else, can legitimately be construed as a 'war crime.' To
describe an act of the Allies as a war crime is to suggest that there is no inherent
moral difference between Allied acts and Nazi acts. To even suggest that the Allies
could have committed war crimes is a sign of crypto-Nazism.
15. The Nuremberg trials were a massive leap forward for human moral
development, as war criminals were prosecuted as such for the first time.
Of course, academic historians do not teach these dogmas in the same open and
honest way that, say, a Catholic priest teaches the dogmas of the Catholic church.
Rather, because students come to University already steeped in the modern
political religion academic historians are free to assume them and their writings
constitute large-scale elaborations of them. The dogmas are perpetuated not by
being taught explicitly, but by ensuring that they are the only conclusions that can
legitimately be drawn from history.
Of all the dogmas I have just described, the only one which might be regarded as
open to debate is whether Hitler was worse than Stalin. Some people would insist
that Stalin was worse, since his regime killed many more people. However, the idea
that the Holocaust is the most evil crime ever perpetrated tends to reinforce the
conclusion that Hitler was worse, although the obvious implication - that Jewish
lives are worth more than Russian lives - is left unuttered (because drawing
attention to the fact that Jewish lives are to be regarded as more important than
other people's lives is something that you would only do if you were motivated by
anti-semitism).
Of all the dogmas of the political religion whose caretakers academic historians
have become, by far the most important - perhaps because it's also the least
defensible - is dogma #3: that Hitler and the Nazis implemented a programme for
the extermination of the Jews.
Academic historians are complicit in the perpetuation of this political dogma mainly
by omission - that is to say, by neglecting to do their jobs properly. They 1)
overlook the fact that there is no material evidence to support the Holocaust
hypothesis and 2) take for granted the authenticity of the documents which they
cite, in lieu of material evidence, as proof that the Nazis tried to exterminate the
Jews.
Let me expand on these two points:
1. The utter disregard of material evidence
Academic historians normally treat material (i.e., physical) evidence as conclusive
(unless, of course, it is subsequently proven to be inauthentic). For example, if a
Roman map did not show a city in a certain location, but archaeologists discovered
Roman-era ruins at this location, historians would conclude that there had been a
city there in Roman times, not that the city could not possibly have been there
because it wasn't mentioned in Roman documents. Conversely, if a town was drawn
at an identifiable location on a Roman map and archaeologists had failed to turn up
so much as a potsherd at that place, most historians would conclude that the
mapmaker had made a mistake, not that the mapmaker was right and that all
traces of the settlement had been obliterated by the ravages of time.

Yet in the case of the Holocaust, the dearth of material evidence for the existence
of large-scale extermination programme is not perceived as significant. It is
assumed that the Nazis destroyed their vast death machinery so thoroughly as to
preclude all possibility of postwar detection. It is not permissible to express doubts
as to whether the Nazis could really have eliminated all material evidence so
completely, including making the ashes of six million people vanish from the
locations at which they must have been interred. To think such doubts is to engage
in thought crime; and to verbalize the doubts, hate crime.
It is therefore more acceptable for academic historians today to assume that the
Nazis had magical powers - that is, the ability to make material evidence disappear
beyond hope of recovery, even by means of the most sophisticated modern
technology - than it is to conclude that the lack of material evidence supports the
allegations of Holocaust revisionists.
2. A cavalier attitude towards documentary evidence
Given the non-existence of material evidence, documentary evidence is obviously
critical to reasoned belief in the Holocaust. While the majority of the public seems
happy to accept eyewitness testimonies as a sufficient basis for their
exterminationist beliefs, for scholars 'the faintest ink is usually a more reliable
foundation for historical analysis than the strongest memory.'[4]
Holocaust scholars seem to be divided on the question of whether documents exist
that refer to the alleged Nazi programme for the extermination of the Jews. In
Harvest of Hate (1979), Léon Poliakov specifically avers that with respect to this
programme 'no documents have survived, perhaps none ever existed."'[5] Yet on
the back cover of Steve Hochstadt's Sources of the Holocaust (2004), the author
Judith Magyar Isaacson is quoted as saying that that Hochstadt's collection
'documents [the Holocaust's] perpetration with painstaking accuracy.'
Although Isaacson is clearly exaggerating here - if there were such documents it is
hard to see how Poliakov could not have been aware of them - there does seem to
be a growing tendency to assert that a corpus of Holocaust documents exists which,
while far less complete that we would like, is nonetheless adequate for the purpose
of affirming the existence of a Nazi extermination programme.
Unfortunately, academic historians have failed to concern themselves with the
question of the authenticity of the documents they cite as evidence for the
Holocaust. They neglect such crucial matters as the provenance of the documents,
the accuracy with which they have been translated, and whether their meanings are
being construed fairly.
A striking but never discussed fact about Holocaust historiography is that its key
documents are all of unproven authenticity. Most of the documents academic
Holocaust historians have taken to citing are, in fact, no more than mere
transcriptions. By far the majority appeared for the first time during the Nuremberg
trials, and were prepared for the court by the Documentation Division of the Office
of the U.S. Chief of Counsel (OCC) in Paris, an organization that subsumed the
OSS's Evidence Collection and Analysis Section in London. In other words, many if
not most of the documents used in the Nuremberg trials originated with the OSS,
the wartime precursor of the CIA.
Very little is known about either the OSS's Evidence Collection and Analysis Section
or the OCC's Documentation Division. Matters such as the provenance of the
5. Global eBook Samvydav Corp. Carl Wernerhoff. Historians or hoaxers? Page 5
documents cited at Nuremberg are apparently of little interest to historians
generally. To my knowledge, no historians go beyond the transcriptions which were
used during the postwar war crimes trials to seek out original documents -
something which would be inexcusable in almost any other avenue of historical
enquiry.
To be sure, one reason for this is that in most cases it is impossible to say where
the originals are held today, if indeed they exist at all. Carlos Whitlock Porter, an
American-born professional translator who apparently today lives in Germany, is
the only person I know of who has looked into this matter, and he has established
that no institution acknowledges possessing any original documents:
'The standard version of events is that the Allies examined 100,000 documents and
chose 1,000 which were introduced into evidence, and that the original documents
were then deposited in the Peace Palace at The Hague. This is rather inexact. ...
The Hague has few, if any, original documents. The Hague has many original
postwar "affidavits," or sworn statements, the Tribunal Commission transcripts, and
much valuable defense material. They have the "human soap," which has never
been tested, and the "original human soap recipe" (Document USSR-196), which is
a forgery; but apparently no original wartime German documents. ... The National
Archives in Washington ... claim that the original documents are in The Hague. The
Hague claims the original documents are in the National Archives. The Stadtsarchiv
Nurnberg and the Bundesarchiv Koblenz also have no original documents, and both
say the original documents are in Washington. Since the originals are, in most
cases, "copies," there is often no proof that the documents in question ever
existed.'[6]
The reality, therefore, is that the bulk of the 'evidence' for the Holocaust derives
from a corpus of documents that was expressly manufactured by the OSS and OCC
in 1945-46 for the purpose of incriminating the leaders of the former German
government at Nuremberg. The procedure went roughly along these lines: the
Documentation Division in Paris created 'copies' (in English only), certified them as
true, and sent them to the prosecution in Nuremberg, while the original documents
(if they ever existed) were never seen or heard of again. German translations of
the original English texts were then prepared and sent to the defense in
Nuremberg, where they arrived as late as possible so that the defense had
insufficient time to worry about such matters as their authenticity.
Few professional historians can be unaware that original documents and only
original documents qualify as evidence. Without access to the original of the
document it professes to transcribe, there is no way for an historian to tell whether
a given transcription is accurate. Transcriptions may conceal interpolations and
excisions, while translations can involve interpolations, excisions, misleading
translations and even the fabrication of entire passages. Many Holocaust documents
can legitimately be suspected of being wholesale fabrications.
Although many documents were certainly fabricated, the Documentation Division in
Paris seems rarely to have been required to forge documents. The procedure
followed at Nuremberg, which assigned evidentiary value to mere 'copies,' avoided
the need for original documents. The defence, on the other hand, had no power to
insist that original documents be used.
The real problem was the risk of authentic documents coming to light which would
contradict the fabricated documents. We can assume that as the Nuremberg trials
proceeded authentic documents that had the potential to create conflicts with
6. Global eBook Samvydav Corp. Carl Wernerhoff. Historians or hoaxers? Page 6
forged documents were secreted away in inaccessible locations. Given the fact that
an extremely large proportion of the total corpus of Nazi documents remains
inaccessible to historians even today - historians have probably never had access to
more than a small sample of the documents captured by the Allies in the closing
stages of the war - we can safely assume that most original documents that would
resolve questions concerning the Holocaust are destined never to be made public.
Many may even have been destroyed in order to ensure the enduring success of the
hoax. (If it was a hoax, of course. A theoretical possibility is that genuine
documents had to be suppressed for another reason, perhaps because they point to
the complicity of the U.S. corporations that worked hand in glove with the Nazis
during the war.)
Another potential problem was the appearance of individuals associated with the
Nazi regime who would have had the ability to expose the OSS/OCC documents as
fabrications. The need to prevent this from ever happening would explain why,
starting in May 1945 with the alleged suicides of SS-General Hans-Adolf Prützmann,
SS head Heinrich Himmler and SS-General Odilo Globocnik while in British captivity,
there followed a bizarre string of murders of individuals associated with the
Auschwitz concentration camp. (These were perpetrated by a Jewish hit squad
known as the DIN.) As Joseph Bellinger, author of a new book on Himmler's
murder, points out, within six months or so of the war's end practically any one
who could have shed light on the Jewish policy of the Third Reich was
murdered!'[7] This, it must be said, was extremely convenient for the prosecution
at Nuremberg.
So we therefore encounter a striking paradox. Although the Holocaust is considered
by many historians to be the central event of the 20th century and also one of the
most important events in history, the standards which are applied to the study of
the Holocaust are lower than those which would apply in, for example, a minor
property dispute in a local court. Yet if the Holocaust is to be elevated to its present
status as central event of the 20th century, it is obvious that it must meet a higher
standard of proof, not a lower one.
To be blunt: if historians are going to tell people that the Holocaust is one of the
most important events in history, they better have overwhelming evidence to back
up their extraordinary claims. So far, though, they have not lived up to their
responsibility. Despite the gravity of the subject, which demands the greatest
scrupulousness, they remain suspiciously cavalier about documenting the
Holocaust, as though it were the one historical event that transcends the historian's
craft.
In the case of the rush to impute to the Nazis a programme for the extermination
of millions of people which has implausibly left no material traces, all the normal
rules of historiography seem not only to have been suspended, but to have been
violated over and over again. Historians routinely cite documents from secondary
works like Raul Hilberg's The Destruction of the European Jews (1961) or from
printed collections of documents, such as Robert Wolfe's Holocaust: The
Documentary Evidence - but they never cite original documents.
7. Global eBook Samvydav Corp. Carl Wernerhoff. Historians or hoaxers? Page 7
Dirk Moses of the University of Sydney's History
Department: an example of the kind of academic
hack under discussion. (For an excellent critique of
Moses's disingenuous treatment of Holocaust
revisionism, see here.) Moses reportedly refers to
people who think there ought to be evidence for
the Holocaust as 'crazed positivists.' Who would
want to study history with this guy?
In short, whether or not the Holocaust took place, the historiography of the
Holocaust is a house of cards: it is a vast edifice constructed on the precarious
foundation of mere transcriptions of documents which have never been examined
by those who cite them and whose authenticity has never been and probably never
can be established. One wonders how many academics have been honest enough to
share this information with their students.
Given the powerful challenge mounted to Holocaust orthodoxy by revisionism, the
documentary status quo seems remarkable. You would think that by now academic
historians would be demanding free and unfettered access to original documents for
the purpose of using them to refute revisionist opponents. You would think that the
numerous websites that have proliferated in recent years aimed at refuting
revisionism would be bristling with scanned images of original documents, which
would make mincemeat of the doubting Thomases.[8] Yet every such website of
which I am aware - and every book which follows the same agenda - aims to
persuade by means of mere transcriptions.[9]
Clearly, academic historians are only interested in historical truth so long as it does
not upset any of the central dogmas of the modern political religion. To affirm that
religion, they enthusiastically write the history of WWII using documents of
doubtful authenticity and entirely disregard revisionist writings, even though the
latter constitute the only form of independent quality control in the field of
Holocaust studies. (You don't think peer review exists in any meaningful sense in
Holocaust studies, do you? How could it, in such an atmosphere of intimidation and
persecution?)
As both a credentialled historian and a member of the interested public I must say
that I find myself heartily sick of the appalling state of academic historiography
today. Because they show a disgraceful disregard of issues such as the provenance
of Holocaust documents, academic historians deserve to be dismissed as
handmaidens of a monumental hoax rather than devotees of the truth.
The current generation of academic historians seems to me to consist of crooks,
liars and gullible fools - and I would not hesitate to apply the latter accusation to
several prominent academic historians I know personally who have published on
the subject of the Holocaust (including one who maintains, quite seriously, that Elie
Wiesel's farcical Night is by the far the best book on Auschwitz).

But what else can we expect, when professional history is in the service of a
dogmatic religion rather than historical truth?

[2] The biggest academic controversy in recent years took place in 2001-2 and
concerned a book, Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture, by
Michael Bellesiles, who was at the time Professor of History at Emory University,
Atlants, Georgia, U.S. However, this controversy concerned trivial offences against
historiographical conventions which are committed routinely by all historians writing
large books, especially ones on subjects which have not been extensively
researched before; the controversy was really nothing more than a rightwing beat-
up. In most such cases, even when the work is considerably sloppier, views are
challenged and modified over the years as the historiography of the subject grows
and becomes more sophisticated. As for iconoclasm, the closest to an iconoclastic
academic historian I can think of is Professor Justin McCarthy professor of history at
the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, who argues convincingly that the
alleged Armenian holocaust is a fabrication.

currently offers photographic reproductions of 25 original documents, including 23
from the Auschwitz State Museum concerning the construction of the crematories.
(Although this is only 23 pages out of at least 88,000 pages of Auschwitz Central
Construction Office documents that were captured by the Red Army in 1945, it is
better than nothing.) Although a number of additional documents on Mazal.org are
represented as 'German Original' documents, this is a deception. The documents so
identified are all inscribed in English as 'certified true copies,' meaning that they are
postwar creations. They are not authentic Nazi-era documents but belong to the
class of documents that were prepared for the Nazi war crimes trials by the
Documentation Division of the OCC in Paris.
