HOW GOOD WERE THE CONDITIONS FOR JEWS IN AUSCHWITZ CONCENTRATION CAMP IN POLAND?

1. There was a licenced swimming pool with jumping board where teams of the inmates competed!

2. Licenced football field where teams from inside and outside the camps competed!

3. Post office for inmates sending and receiving of letters and packages

4. Greenhouses for growing vegetables

5. Horse grooming

6. Rabbit breeding

7. 16 orchestras and music bands big and small played for the inmates!

8. There was a Library with latest newspapers!

9. Special currency was issued to inmates who could use it in the camp's show and year-old and brothels!

10. Hospital with many doctors and nurses!

11. Dental clinic for inmates and staff of the camp

12. Maternity ward where 3000 babies were born to the inmates!

13. A Theater was for the inmates

14. A Cinema was for the inmates where (mostly) German movies were shown!

15. A brothel

16. A shop with necessities

17. Beer was sold in the camp's assembly hall where musicians often played on a GRAND PIANO!

18. University classes were arranged where polish professors held lectures!

The International Red Cross stated in its three volume report published in Geneva in 1948 that no mass-murders of jews had been committed in Auschwitz despite hearsay to that effect. Conditions for the inmates were exemplary for the most part said the Red Cross except for the last monts of the war when hunger and sickness prevailed due to allied bombing of all infrastructure in Germany and German occupied countries.

These jews and former inmates in Auschwitz do not describe the placpe as a hell-hole! Listen to them.   Click below to see the truth!

Population and emigration of Jews from Europe between 1933-1945

 

Ellis Island

By Richard E. Harwood

Statistics relating to Jewish populations are not everywhere known in precise detail, approximations for various countries differing widely, and it is also unknown exactly how many Jews were deported and interned at any one time between the years 1939-1945. 

In general, however, what reliable statistics there are, especially those relating to emigration, are sufficient to show that not a fraction of six million Jews could have been exterminated. 

In the first place, this claim cannot remotely be upheld on examination of the European Jewish population figures. According to Chambers Encyclopaedia the total number of Jews living in pre-war Europe was 6,500,000. Quite clearly, this would mean that almost the entire number were exterminated. But the Baseler Nachrichten, a neutral Swiss publication employing available Jewish statistical data, establishes that between 1933 and 1945, 1,500,000 Jews emigrated to Britain, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Australia, China, India, Palestine and the United Sutes. 

This is confirmed by the Jewish journalist Bruno Blau, who cites the same figure in the New York Jewish paper Aufbau, August 13th, 1948. Of these emigrants, approximately 400,000 came from Germany before September 1939. This is acknowledged by the World Jewish Congress in its publication Unity in Dispersion (p. 377), which states that: "The majority of the German Jews succeeded in leaving Germany before the war broke out." In addition to the German Jews, 220,000 of the total 280,000 Austrian Jews had emigrated by September, 1939, while from March 1939 onwards the Institute for Jewish Emigration in Prague had secured the emigration of 260,000 Jews from former Czechoslovakia. 

In all, only 360,000 Jews remained in Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia after September 1939. From Poland, an estimated 500,000 had emigrated prior to the outbreak of war. These figures mean that the number of Jewish emigrants from other European countries (France, the Netherlands, Italy, the countries of eastern Europe etc.) was approximately 120,000. 

This exodus of Jews before and during hostilities, therefore, reduces the number of Jews in Europe to approximately 5,000,000. In addition to these emigrants, we must also include the number of Jews who fled to the Soviet Union after 1939, and who were later evacuated beyond reach of the German invaders. It will be shown below that the majority of these, about 1,250,000, were migrants from Poland. But apart from Poland, Reitlinger admits that 300,000 other European Jews slipped into Soviet territory between 1939 and 1941. This brings the total of Jewish emigrants to the Soviet Union to about 1,550,000. 

In Colliers magazine, June 9th, 1945, Freiling Foster, writing of the Jews in Russia, explained that "2,200,000 have migrated to the Soviet Union since 1939 to escape from the Nazis," but our lower estimate is probably more accurate. Jewish migration to the Soviet Union, therefore, reduces the number of Jews within the sphere of German occupation to around 3-1/2 million, approximately 3,450,000. 

From these should be deducted those Jews living in neutral European countries who escaped the consequences of the war. According to the 1942 World Almanac (p. 594). the number of Jews living in Gibraltar, Britain, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland and Turkey was 413,128.
 
 

3 MILLION JEWS IN EUROPE 

A figure, consequently, of around 3 million Jews in German- occupied Europe is as accurate as the available emigration statistics will allow. Approximately the same number, however, can be deduced in another way if we examine statistics for the Jewish populations remaining in countries occupied by the Reich. More than half of those Jews who migrated to the Soviet Union after 1939 came from Poland. It is frequently claimed that the war with Poland added some 3 million Jews to the German sphere of influence and that almost the whole of this Polish Jewish population was "exterminated". This is a major factual error. 

The 1931 Jewish population census for Poland put the number of Jews at 2,732,600 (Reitlinger, Die Endlösung, p. 36). Reitlinger states that at least 1,170,000 of these were in the Russian zone occupied in the autumn of 1939, about a million of whom were evacuated to the Urals and south Siberia after the German invasion of June 1941 (ibid. p. 50). As described above, an estimated 500,000 Jews had emigrated from Poland prior to the war. Moreover, the journalist Raymond Arthur Davis, who spent the war in the Soviet Union, observed that approximately 250,000 had already fled from German-occupied Poland to Russia between 1939 and 1941 and were to be encountered in every Soviet province (Odyssey through Hell, N.Y., 1946). 

Subtracting these figures from the population of 2,732,600, therefore, and allowing for the normal population increase, no more than 1,100,000 Polish Jews could have been under German rule at the end of 1939. (Gutachen des Instituts für Zeitgeschichte, Munich, 1956, p.80). To this number we may add the 360,000 Jews remaining in Germany, Austria and former Czechoslovakia (Bohemia-Moravia and Slovakia) after the extensive emigration from those countries prior to the war described above. Of the 320,000 French Jews, the Public Prosecutor representing that part of the indictment relating to France at the Nuremberg Trials, stated that 120,000 Jews were deported, though. Reitlinger estimates only about 50,000. 

Thus the total number of Jews under Nazi rule remains below two million. Deportations from the Scandinavian countries were few, and from Bulgaria none at all. When the Jewish populations of Holland (140,000), Belgium (40,000), Italy (50,000), Yugoslavia (55,000), Hungary (380,000) and Roumania (725,000) are included, the figure does not much exceed 3 million. This excess is due to the fact that the latter figures are pre-war estimates unaffected by emigration, which from these countries accounted for about 120,000 (see above). This cross-checking, therefore, confirms the estimate of approximately 3 million European Jews under German occupation.
 
 

RUSSIAN JEWS EVACUATED 

The precise figures concerning Russian Jews are unknown, and have therefore been the subject of extreme exaggeration. The Jewish statistician Jacob Leszczynski states that in 1939 there were 2,100,000 Jews living in future German-occupied Russia, i.e. western Russia. 

In addition, some 260,000 lived in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. According to Louis Levine, President of the American Jewish Council for Russian Relief, who made a post-war tour of the Soviet Union and submitted a report on the status of Jews there, the majority of these numbers were evacuated east after the German armies launched their invasion. 

In Chicago, on October 30th, 1946, he declared that: "At the outset of the war, Jews were amongst the first evacuated from the western regions threatened by the Hitlerite invaders, and shipped to safety east of the Urals. Two million Jews were thus saved." This high number is confirmed by the Jewish journalist David Bergelson, who wrote in the Moscow Yiddish paper Ainikeit, December 5th, 1942, that "Thanks to the evacuation, the majority (80%) of the Jews in the Ukraine, White Russia, Lithuania and Latvia before the arrival of the Germans were rescued." 

Reitlinger agrees with the Jewish authority Joseph Schechtmann, who admits that huge numbers were evacuated, though he estimates a slightly higher number of Russian and Baltic Jews left under German occupation, between 650,000 and 850,000 (Reitlinger, The Final Solution, p. 499). In respect of these Soviet Jews remaining in German territory, it will be proved later that in the war in Russia no more than one hundred thousand persons were killed by the German Action Groups as partisans and Bolshevik commissars, not all of whom were Jews. By contrast, the partisans themselves claimed to have murdered five times that number of German troops.
 
 

'SIX MILLION' UNTRUE ACCORDING TO NEUTRAL SWISS 

It is clear, therefore, that the Germans could not possibly have gained control over or exterminated anything like six million Jews. Excluding the Soviet Union, the number of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe after emigration was scarcely more than 3 million, by no means all of whom were interned. 

To approach the extermination of even half of six million would have meant the liquidation of every Jew living in Europe. And yet it is known that large numbers of Jews were alive in Europe after 1945. Philip Friedmann in Their Brother's Keepers (N.Y., 1957, p. 13), states that "at least a million Jews survived in the very crucible of the Nazi hell," while the official figure of the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee is 1,559,600. 

Thus, even if one accepts the latter estimate, the number of possible wartime Jewish deaths could not have exceeded a limit of one and a half million. Precisely this conclusion was reached by the reputable journal Baseler Nachrichten of neutral Switzerland. In an article entitled "Wie hoch ist die Zahl der jüdischen Opfer?" ("How high is the number of Jewish victims?", June 13th, 1946), it explained that purely on the basis of the population and emigration figures described above, a maximum of only one and a half million Jews could be numbered as casualties. Later on, however, it will be demonstrated conclusively that the number was actually far less, for the Baseler Nachrichten accepted the Joint Distribution Committee's figure of 1,559,600 survivors after the war, but we shall show that the number of claims for compensation by Jewish survivors is more than double that figure. This information was not available to the Swiss in 1946.
 
 

IMPOSSIBLE BIRTH RATE 

Indisputable evidence is also provided by the post-war world Jewish population statistics. 

The World Almanac of 1938 gives the number of Jews in the world as 16,588,259. But after the war, the New York Times, February 22nd, 1948 placed the number of Jews in the world at a minimum of 15,600,000 and a maximum of 18,700,000. 

Quite obviously, these figures make it impossible for the number of Jewish war-time casualties to be measured in anything but thousands. 15-1/2 million in 1938 minus the alleged six million leaves nine million; the New York Times figures would mean, therefore, that the world's Jews produced seven million births, almost doubling their numbers, in the space of ten years. This is patently ridiculous. 

It would appear, therefore, that the great majority of the missing "six million" were in fact emigrants - emigrants to European countries, to the Soviet Union and the United States before, during and after the war. And emigrants also, in vast nunibers to Palestine during and especially at the end of the war. 

After 1945, boat-loads of these Jewish survivors entered Palestine illegally from Europe, causing considerable embarrassment to the British Government of the time; indeed, so great were the numbers that the H.M. Stationery Office publication No. 190 (November 5th, 1946) described them as "almost amounting to a second Exodus."

It was these emigrants to all parts of the world who had swollen the world Jewish population to between 15 and 18 millions by 1948, and probably the greatest part of them were emigrants to the United States who entered in violation of the quota laws. 

On August 16th, 1963 David Ben Gurion, President of Israel, stated that although the official Jewish population of America was said to be 5,600,000, "the total number would not be estimated too high at 9,000,000" (Deutsche Wochenzeitung, November 23rd, 1963). The reason for this high figure is underlined by Albert Maisal in his article "Our Newest Americans" (Readers Digest, January, 1957), for he reveals that "Soon after World War II, by Presidential decree, 90 per cent of all quota visas for central and eastern Europe were issued to the uprooted." Reprinted on this page is just one extract from hundreds that regularly appear in the obituary columns of Aufbau, the Jewish American weekly published in New York (June 16th, 1972). It shows how Jewish emigrants to the United States subsequently changed their names; their former names when in Europe appear in brackets. For example, as below: Arthur Kingsley (formerly Dr. Königsberger of Frankfurt). Could it be that some or all of these people whose names are 'deceased' were included in the missing six million of Europe?

Comments about Did Six Million Really Die?

 

Putin telling the truth about JEWISH communism

                                    Image from the Holodomor

On June 13, 2013 Russia’s president Vladimir Putin said in his speech during the visit to the Moscow’s Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, that following the Bolshevik Revolution in October of 1917, Jews made up 80 to 85 percent of the first government of the Soviet Union. 

Jewish Telegraphic Agency quoted Vladimir Putin with English translation of his speech said with reference to a library belonging to Rabbi Joseph I. Schneerson, the late leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement: The decision to nationalize this library was made by the first Soviet government, whose composition was 80 to 85 percent Jewish. 

If anyone has access to documents that prove this number to be correct, the president of Russia is him! However, in stark contrast to reality, perhaps as an ass kissing gesture to the Jewish overmasters that controlled the Soviet Union from 1917 until 1991, or perhaps to not drive any more Jewish wrath upon himself, Vladimir Putin also said in the same speech (according to the official transcript) that during their control of the Soviet government, Jews supported the arrest and repression of all faiths. 

Nothing could be further from the truth. Fact of a matter is, the Jewish Bolshevik government targeted Christians in particular for extermination, but protected fellow Jews. Jewish Bolshevik made any form of Anti-Semitism illegal and punished it by death. Accusations of anti Semitism were not investigated. Alleged usurpers were either directly executed or sent to one of the Gulags, the real extermination camps. 

Jewish Bolsheviks made extermination of non Jews such an important part of their communist agenda, that the only time Vladimir Lenin’s voice was ever recorded on tape, it was when he made a speech denouncing anti-Semitism as counter-revolutionary. 

Another little fact that proves that Jews in the Soviet Union did NOT arrest and repress all faiths were special privileges given to Jews by the government, which included the creation of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast – a separate homeland meant for Jews only, which exists to this day in Russia. Of course, after Jews moved in to occupy Palestine, many Jews from the Soviet Union and Europe were transported to the new Jewish state so the Jewish Autonomous Oblast experienced decline in Jewish population. 

Greatest Mass Murder in Human History While exact figures will never be known, some 100 Million people, mostly Slavic Christians perished during the wide spread ethnic cleansing imposed upon Russia by the Jewish Bolsheviks during the 74 years of the Jews sponsored totalitarian communism. The vast number of innocent people massacred by the Jews was so great, it remains and will likely forever be the greatest mass murder in human history. 

Shortly after the October Revolution, some Russian patriots took to the arms and stood up to the murderous Jews, but utilizing unlimited financial resources raked in with usury worldwide, the Yids were able to crush the brave Russians and punish them severely. Enraged that some Russians had the nerve to uprise against the Jews, the Bolsheviks further punished the nation by going around and stripping peasants off their crops and food supplies, thus creating a huge famine (known as Holodomor) in which some 7 Million people died.

 In late December 1917, one-quarter Jew, born to a Jewish family (his uncle Leon Trotsky was born Lev Davidovich Bronstein) Vladimir Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka. While Cheka had a fancy name and purpose of so called Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, what was really hiding behind the Counter-Revolution and Sabotage label was the need for extermination of anyone who in any way opposed the totalitarian submission of the Soviet Union to the Jewish demands. Cheka quickly became the largest and exceptionally cruel enforcer of “exterminate every hint of anti Semitism and throw in as many Christians as can be” unwritten law. Because Cheka’s organizational structure changed every few years, so did the organization’s names which went from Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB. Their purpose however remained vastly unchanged so systematic extermination of Christians continued by the millions each year. 

Shabbos Goy Serving Jews 

As is typical of the Jews, they controlled the system, but employed a number of properly indoctrinated Shabbos Goy who served as their pawns, doing their dirty work. It is similar to what you can see today – Kenyan is not a Jew, but serves the Jewish interests unconditionally. And so do Angela Merkel, David Cameron, François Hollande and other leaders of the Zionists Occupied Governments. Joseph Stalin, whose real name was Iosif Vissarionovich Dzugashvili was a part Jew. He was born in present day Georgia, then part of Czarist Russia and at that time, it would have been unthinkable to give Jewish name to a non Jew. In Georgian language, Dzugash means Jew and Dzugashvili means Son of a Jew. Stalin also married women who were Jewish. 

Jews Behind Killings of Tens of Millions 

What even Jews themselves don’t deny, is that in only 5 years of its initial operation (between 1917 and 1922), Cheka was responsible for at least 20 million deaths, which included victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags. Yet in their first 5 years of control over the Soviet Union, Jews were merely warming up to the much more widespread massacres which were yet to come. 

Genrikh Yagoda, a Jew who implemented Stalin’s collectivization orders and who along with his deputies established and managed the Gulag extermination camps system is credited with personally executing at least 10 Million people. However after a few years of being the chief Soviet henchmen, Joseph Stalin no longer viewed Genrikh Yagoda favorably, mostly because of his support for Trotskyism and had him demoted, and later executed. His post of chief henchman was replaced in 1936 by an incredibly ruthless Shabbos Goy with a Jewess for wife by the name of Nikolai Yezhov, nicknamed the “bloodthirsty dwarf.” Nikolai Yetzov was responsible for the Great Purge. 

Author Robert Conquest who’s considered the foremost authority on the Great Purge estimated in his book The Great Terror that the death toll during the 1937 to 1938 Great Purge was around 10 Million. Of 8 Million who were taken into the Gulags during that time, only about 10 % survived. Many Jews quickly jumped on the bashing and discrediting bandwagon after the release of The Great Terror, trying to make it look as though Robert Conquest overestimated the death toll, however after the fall of communism, several Soviet scholars including Edvard Radzinsky and Dmitri Volkogonov published prominent exposés of a number of mass killings during Stalin and based on the documents they were able to obtain, way more than 10 Million people were killed by the Jews during the Great Purge. Keep in mind that that’s 10+ Million killed between 1937 and 1938 alone.

 The Gulags were secret extermination camps established and managed by the Jews. 

They were used predominantly as a means of extermination of the “enemies of the nation“. Anyone seen unfavorable by the Jews was declared an enemy of the nation and was either executed on the spot or sent to a Gulag. Some actual criminals were also sometimes sent to the Gulags, but they were merely treated as criminals which compared to those who transgressed against the Jews, was like being on vacation in a ski resort. Jews and their Shabbos Goy specifically employed and carefully selected to subject enemies of the nation to exceptionally cruet torture did things to the prisoners that none of us could possibly even fathom. Because Gulags were very secretive and few made it out of there alive, actual scale of atrocities may never be known. However to give you some idea of just what Gulag prisoners were subjected to, author Danzig Baldaev released a book titled “Drawings from the Gulag” which contains exactly what its title suggests. Danzig Baldaev was not a prisoner in Gulag, he was a prison guard. He alleges that his book is a result of both his own experiences and a lifetime of research. While his drawings are nowhere near as accurate as the description in the authority literature on the Gulags – a book title The Gulag Archipelago (Архипелаг ГУЛАГ) by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who was a prisoner in a Gulag himself – they provide an easy to understand visual interpretation of life in the infamous prison camps. The drawings document such acts as drowning the enemies of the nation to death in a bucket of feces. Forcing the enemies of the nation to stand facing corner for days without rest, food or water until their feet swelled and they fainted, after which they were beaten and forced into the corner again. Forcing the enemies of the nation to sit on a roost in a desecrated church for days until someone fell off from exhaustion to receive beatings with a hose around their neck. Subjecting women to forced labor until their vaginas prolapsed. Beating and torturing prisoners senseless to make them confess to whatever the interrogators wanted them to confess to – and that’s all just a beginning. 

Millions of Gulag prisoners were forced by the Jewish Bolsheviks to go fight against the Germans. 

It is also notable to mention that after the eruption of World War II, millions of Gulag prisoners were forced by the Jewish Bolsheviks to go fight against the Germans. They had Jews behind their lines waiting to shoot anyone who would fail to fight and then there also was the threat of them returning to the Gulag which was the most hellish place in the entire world so each would rather die on a battlefield than go back. 

That is a primary reason why Russians fought Germans so ferociously, even though Germans came to Russia as liberators, not conquerors. 

As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in Part V of The Gulag Archipelago: For twenty years, the religion was being persecuted and the churches closed. The Germans came and began re-opening churches. In Rostov-on-Don the inauguration became a huge jubilation, that attracted lots of people. But of course they should have damned the Germans for that, eh? 

Jews prosecuted Christians en masse and burned down hundreds of Christian churches. That is also why they employed the mockery with the roost in desecrated churches. After temporary liberation of parts of Russia by the Germans in WWII, people were spared senseless prosecution and mass executions by the Jewish Bolsheviks and had their churches reopened. 

But battered by the Jews as they were, and scared of them shitless because millions of their sons and daughters have been killed or taken to the Gulags, the threat of the Jew lashing back at them with even more savagery was a huge drawback. It is really kind of funny that to this day, the Jews continue feeding us with their lies about the alleged Nazi extermination camps that never existed, yet in Russia they ran extermination camps we know existed, in which they’d killed more people than in any other event in history, but people are hardly told about it. And if they are, it is never clearly communicated that it was the Jews who were behind the Gulags and that it was the white Christians who were their primary targets set for extermination. 

It’s time for the world to know the truth about the greatest mass murderers of all time

It’s time for the world to know the truth about the greatest mass murderers of all time who to this day have not slowed down with the millions of innocent civilians they ethnically cleanse each year. Denial of Slavic genocide perpetrated by the Jews in the former Soviet Union is the denial of the greatest mass murder ever perpetrated in the history of mankind!

THE JEWISH MAFIA THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL PREDATORS

 

Here it is, between two covers for the very first time—a comprehensive look at the Jewish mafia from the earliest times until today.

From Barnesreview.org.  Direct link:  

https://barnesreview.org/product/the-jewish-mafia/ 

By Hervé Ryssen. Translated by Carlos Whitlock Porter.

Meticulously detailed and documented largely from Jewish sources, this book is a fearless examination of organized Jewish criminality in all parts of the world, with an astonishing catalog of serious crimes.

The author, Hervé Ryssen, has been jailed 13 times for writing seven books. His most recent conviction in 2015, for which he received three months hard time, came simply as punishment for the original cover to this book (a stock illustration of 1930s gangsters with a list of their crimes—arms dealing, racketeering, contract murder, drug dealing, money laundering, pimping, casinos, pornography, kidnapping, burglary, armed robbery, diamond swindles, white slaving, smuggling, African slave trading, trafficking in stolen artwork etc.). That cover has changed to the one you see here.

Now expanded, updated and revised, perhaps the most shocking chapters of the book are those dealing with forced prostitution in Israel, international organ trafficking and the organ transplant industry.

But further description of the contents is not nearly as powerful as a portion of the table of contents.

Inside The Jewish Mafia, Ryssen details:

• the “Torah Nostra’s” history
• American organized crime (and you thought Al Capone was a top criminal)
• Murder, Inc.
• Meyer Lansky
• the “invisible” mafia
• the pillage of Russia
• Mafioso Democracy
• the fall of the Oligarchs, crime from Berlin to Marbella
• the Organizatsiya in America, Antwerp, Vilnius, Bangkok, Bogota
• the mafia in Israel
• the diamond industry
• revolutionary paramilitary funding;
• hashish, cocaine, heroin and the “ecstasy” trade
• porno cinema
• the trafficking of illegal immigrants
• the white slave trade
• the Atlantic African slave trade
• Christian slaves of the Middle Ages
• organ selling
• the aesthetic surgery racket
• Claude Lipsky’s swindles
• Jacques Croz-marie and the ARC scandal
• horse racing and garage rip-offs
• the VAT fraud
• swindling fellow Jews
• Samuel Flatto-Sharon
• crime in England, the U.S. and France
• Monsieur Michel and Monsieur Joseph, Seams and Co.
• profit fever
• the pillaging of vanquished countries
• and more.

 

This is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, fascinating and fast-paced book ever written on the crimes of the Jewish mafia, from a man who dares to write the truth despite being a favorite and repeated target of the politically correct Zionist thought police.

BOOK REVIEW

KOSHER CRIMINALS: 
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE JEWISH MAFIA 

BY RONALD L. RAY

We all “know” about the Mafia. We “know” it is primarily Sicilian. We “know” it has lost a lot of its influence on the world around us. We may even “know” that there are “Russian” or “Chechen” or “Asian” or “Colombian” organized crime syndicates. But is what we “know” really true? Or is all of it a clever deception employed by the real mafiosi to hide their actual identity? And do their co-tribalists in the mass media collaborate in the charade through deliberate falsehoods? Who are the true criminals?

The Jewish Mafia is a book containing the sort of knowledge that gets people killed—particularly if they are muckraking journalists. That is not an exaggeration. More than one investigative reporter has died from “too much information” and an “excessive curiosity” about the doings of one of the most brutal, most ruthless and most deadly global criminal organization ever to exist: the selfsame Jewish mafia.

“What is this ‘Jewish’ mafia?” you may ask. “I’ve never heard of it before.” Sure, there have been swindlers like Bernie Madoff, former bootleggers like the Bronfman family or a few unscrupulous rabbis who traded in human body parts.  But a true Jewish mafia?

Indeed, there is one, although nowadays even most Jews in America are ignorant of it. And it is one of the oldest and most pervasive crime syndicates, at that. It is, moreover, to the great honor of Hervé Ryssen, a Frenchman born in 1967, that he has assembled in a single volume one of the most comprehensive overviews of Jewish criminality ever published. 

And it is to the credit of Carlos W. Porter, as well, that he has produced the English translation. There are not a few individuals who would like the facts contained in Ryssen’s book to disappear down the “memory hole.”

But isn’t Ryssen’s work just “virulent anti-Semitism”? It’s just so much Jew-baiting hate speech, right? Wrong. The author has compiled the thousands of facts in his book primarily from Jewish sources—including some the Tribe does not want non-Jews to read. 

And in so doing, he manifests to the reader some of the key reasons why Jews historically have earned the contempt of nearly every people among whom they have lived.

It is not just Jewish separatism and racialism, or their peculiar customs and religious practices, that have led to the expulsion of the formerly “Chosen People” from almost every nation at some point. Far from it. Rather, it is the centuries-long Jewish practices of exploiting the rest of the human race and degrading it below the level of animals that earn the Judaic people the enmity of others: gambling, robbery, swindling, murder, rape, drugs, abortion, pornography, white slavery, prostitution, human trafficking, sodomy and nearly every other conceivable vice.

Of course, we know that not all Jews engage in or support this sort of criminality. Many are decent, ordinary people. But nearly all enable the continuation of such barbarism by covering it up and failing to confront and end it, out of fear of new “pogroms” or an exaggerated sense of ethnic solidarity.

Consequently, the anti-Jewish backlash turns out much greater, and that peculiar race is punished even more severely. Such are the results of cultural paranoid psychosis.

MAFIA IN AMERICA AND BEYOND
Ryssen begins his account with the development of the mafia in America, which evolved, especially in New York City, out of the gangsterism of the late 19th century into what truly was “organized crime.” Of course, the story of the Sicilians and Calabrians is familiar, and they have their place in this story, too.

But after the War Between the States, the late 1800s saw a massive emigration of Jews from Galicia and the Pale of Settlement—today’s Poland, Ukraine and Russia —to America. They had made themselves unwelcome among the Slavs because of their “business” activities and personal habits. Two million thus traveled to the U.S. and brought their particular “skills” with them. Most settled in New York City.

At first, as with the Italians and Irish, crime was the work of individuals or small gangs: theft, murder for hire, arson (“Jewish lightning”) and, when hired by wealthier German Jewish businessmen from uptown, skull-splitting strikebreaking and union-busting.

Arnold Rothstein was the first crime boss—the first “godfather” in New York. Unlike most mafiosi, who were from poorer circumstances, he was the son of a Jewish millionaire. When Rothstein married a non-Jew, the family declared him “dead,” and he thenceforward devoted himself to his passions.

He did not lead his gangs himself, but he became the eminence grise [“gray eminence”—power behind the throne—Ed.] of the underworld, its organizer. He settled conflicts, supplied money, manpower and protection, and then—when things went wrong—bail money and lawyers. In New York, which was already one of the biggest Jewish cities in the world in 1920, Arnold Rothstein built a gambling empire. . . . Among his regular clients of his [casino] establishment were . . . personages such as Joseph Seagram, the “Canadian” whisky baron . . . or Harry “Sinclair,” the oil magnate.

Rothstein was also involved in the drug trade (opium and cocaine) and horse breeding.1

Rothstein was not alone, of course.  There were others of greater or lesser infamy: Charles “King” Salomon, Longy Zwillman, Meyer Lansky, Arthur Flegenheimer (better known as “Dutch Schultz”), Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and Louis “Lepke” Buchalter—one of New York’s “Jewish Big Six.” There were the Torah Nostra, the Purple Gang in Detroit, the Cleveland Four and “Murder, Incorporated.” 

Over the first half of the 20th century, Jewish organized crime spread from East Coast to West Coast in America and over the borders, too. Many people do not realize that the Jews gradually muscled the Italians out of leadership in the Chicago mafia.

Two events occurred in the 1920s that changed the face of gangsterism. In 1925, Benito Mussolini set about eliminating the mafia from Italy, and very effectively, too. A number of criminals fled to the U.S. In fact, Mussolini was so successful at the project that exiled mafiosi in America voluntarily provided “security” at U.S. ports during World War II and, along with their counterparts back in Sicily, provided critical intelligence and assistance in the Allied invasion of Sicily—all in order to be rid of Mussolini. (Jewish mobsters were similarly “patriotic” and “anti-fascist.”)

The second thing to occur was a conference of major crime bosses in Atlantic City in 1929. Charles “Lucky” Luciano was the first Sicilian to cooperate with the Jewish mafia. The “Catholic” Italians traditionally abhorred the Jewish gangsters, whom they considered to be untrustworthy and without the least sense of honor. At Atlantic City, Luciano and the five Sicilian crime families, and Meyer Lansky and the Jewish gangs set up a “syndicate” with a board of directors. In order to expand their “business,” instead of killing each other, they established an organization which divvied up territories and types of criminal activity among the various bosses. Each group could also hire the services of the other gangs, and the seven board directors resolved disputes. The board also had sole authority to permit reprisal killings of rule-breakers.

This was the beginning of truly “organized crime.” Ryssen traces for us its development, the major players, the rivalries and personalities, and the key events. It takes a strong stomach to read about the Black Dahlia murder, for example, but Ryssen lays the responsibility at the feet of one of the time’s leading Jewish mafia bosses, who was trying to frame his rival.

The author also describes how these Jewish criminals gained control of innumerable businesses, legitimate or not so legitimate. We learn about the rise of gambling in Las Vegas, which was always a project of the Jewish mafia, and how the Jewish mobs gained control of Los Angeles, Hollywood and the film industry.

These same felons were also convinced Zionists, and even sometimes Judaist religious practicants, who contributed vast sums of money and smuggled a huge volume of weapons to Jewish terrorists in Palestine, as their contribution to the establishment of the state of Israel.

But that is not all there is to Jewish mafias, which are a vast network of criminal organizations around the world, all of which have been intertwined with one another in varying degrees through numerous decades. Nevertheless, as Ryssen recounts, “cosmopolitan” Jewish intellectuals and media moguls studiously deceive non-Jews, especially in America, into believing that these mafiosi are not Jewish at all but white Aryans!

THE “RUSSIANS” ARE COMING!
In more recent decades, at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and thanks in no small part to Jewish control of Western governments and mass media, we heard about the rise of the “Russian” mafia and “Russian” oligarchs. This was another ruse by world Jewry, which adopted the Israeli practice of calling Jews from Russia, well, “Russians.”

While no mafia group is ever exclusively comprised of one ethnic or racial group, we typically describe it according to its region of activity: Sicilian, Russian, Chechen, Asian or, in the case of the illegal drug trade, the “French Connection.” It is nearly incredible, however, that one group always comes to dominate the others, yet is not generally publicly known.

Ryssen quotes Jacques Attali, a former advisor to two French presidents: “Among Jews, as always, they don’t do things by halves: If they’re going to be criminals, they might as well be the best.”2

Ryssen explains:

A greed for profit and the love of riches are surely two of the most characteristic features of the Jewish community; it is for precisely these features that the Jews are most frequently caricatured. It is certain that the Jews, who did not believe in hell, or any other kind of afterlife, or in reincarnation, were also less restrained by moral obligations than other peoples of the Earth, and are more inclined to ‘lay up treasures on Earth’—i.e., to invest at interest in their brief Earthly sojourn.3

Following the Soviet collapse, Western Jewish plutocrats, like Henry Kissinger and George Soros, pushed the immediate “privatization” of Russian business, manufacturing and natural resources. This played right into the hands—no doubt, intentionally—of “Russian” Jews, who were already gaining control of those key market sectors—and also the military—in the final years of communist rule. The latter were, at least in some cases, already involved in criminal enterprises. “Privatization” is always a code word for transfer of wealth to Jewish hands.

In the early 1990s, under alcoholic Russian President Boris Yeltsin, a small number of Jewish criminal types were able to become billionaires almost overnight through not only the usual tactics of organized crime, which controlled the country at that time, but also through stunningly brash stock swindles and other illegal business activities, as well as massive bribery and appointments to government offices, and even war. At least one purchased his own submarine, and some traded in Russian military weapons and ships.

Ryssen’s account of the exploits of Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky and a handful of others must be read to be believed. Through fraud, intimidation and murder, a dozen or so men, often holding dual Israeli citizenship as a “get out of jail free card,” plundered the Russian nation and the former Soviet-bloc countries of most of their wealth and natural resources, leaving the Russian and Eastern European peoples in poverty so abject that a massive, Jewish-run, interna­tional white slavery operation grew up, as desperate Slavs tried to escape by answering phony advertisements for working abroad, or by simply prostituting themselves at home.  Numberless Russians died or were killed.

The depth of poverty Russians experienced at that time, because of the Jewish mafia, has only been equaled or surpassed by Weimar Germany, the Ukrainian famine under Stalin and in present-day Ukraine under the rule of Jewish oligarchs. All have been thanks to the Tribe.

Ironically, the Jewish oligarchs/mafia bosses helped put current President Vladimir Putin into power, believing him a faithful tool. But Putin entered upon a nationalist program that imprisoned or expelled all of them who refused to put the Russian people first, while he regained control of Russian business, media and resources for the Russian nation.

These suddenly dethroned, would-be “Russian” rulers—at least the ones who managed to escape to “exile,” like Khodorkovsky, positioned themselves, in typical Jewish fashion, as innocent victims, “human rights activists” and “freedom fighters” against Putin’s “communist corruption.” The Zionist-run Western media and politicians support this ruse, as Khodorkovsky and other oligarchs openly plot the overthrow of Putin. Khodorkovsky even fancies he will rule Russia.

Thus, The Jewish Mafia is a critical tool to understand “Western,” i.e., Jewish, hatred for Russia.

THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!
The book further reveals the insidious spread of Jewish mafia groups across the world, into dozens of countries and every continent except Antarctica. Some of the personalities will surprise you. Others may not surprise, like Marc Rich, the super-wealthy donor to Bill Clinton, but their connections are revealing. Guess who was involved in the “Colombian” cocaine trade, or who was tied to drug kingpin Pepe Escobar, who was hooked in with George H. W. Bush, the CIA and the Iran-Contra scandal? Who completely controls trafficking in the drug called ecstasy? And who do you suppose bribed Abe Foxman, the apostate Catholic, Jewish former head of the Anti-Defamation League, to provide favorable publicity to cover his wrongdoing?

Most stunning of all is that all criminal roads lead to Israel, which is the center of global Jewish criminal activity, due to the “Jewish right of return” and a nearly total lack of laws against many of the criminal activities favored by the “Israelites.” Jewish criminals inevitably seek asylum from the Zionist state and are rarely refused. Many leading Israeli officials are paid off by Jewish mafiosi, and you need to know who.

UBIQUITOUS EVIL

There are many people, both Jews and their non-Jewish apologists, who whirl like dervishes, attempting to deny Jewish criminality or pin blame on white people through clever propaganda. Yet Ryssen’s numerous Jewish sources tell a different tale. Of course, not all Jews are criminals. But there is absolutely no segment of Jewry which is not involved directly in the most heinous criminal activity: Ashkenazic or Sephardic; religious or secular; Hasidic, Orthodox or non-observant; poor or wealthy; politicians, accountants, filmmakers, casino magnates, garment-makers, restaurateurs, lawyers and rabbis.

There is also no type of crime or vice in which Jews are not involved—something which gives pause for thought, when one considers that they comprise only about 0.2% of the world’s population. The disproportion is telling.

Those not directly involved are too often the public protectors of their fellow tribesmen—many times paid well to be such, like Foxman. But most cover up or ignore the Jewish criminal problem for free. This must end.

In the United States, Jewish groups foment race war against whites and Christians. In Europe, the Jews promote white genocide by mass immigration. In all parts of the world, all races are increasingly enslaved by Jewish taskmasters, either literally or through usury. Even fellow Jews are not immune.

Arms smuggling, drug running, money laundering through the diamond business, illegal trafficking in artworks and antiquities are all stock-in-trade for the Jewish mafia. But perhaps the most shocking chapters to read in Ryssen’s book are those detailing the “Porno Mafia,” the white slave trade and trafficking in human organs and body parts.

The stories of both poor and well-educated European women (and men, boys and girls) kidnapped for, or fraudulently ensnared in, prostitution—and the conditions they are forced to suffer—are particularly gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. 

Because we want The Barnes Review to be a magazine read by the whole family, we will not go into the brutal, gory details—but you need to learn about them from The Jewish Mafia so that you can inform your relatives, friends, unknowing Jews and especially our politicians.

Israel portrays itself as a pillar of human rights and freedom, yet the truth revealed by Hervé Ryssen proves this is a massive deceit on an international scale. Nowhere else is such rampant criminality proportionately so widespread or so completely tolerated as in Israel. Yet the West continues to subsidize, arm and protect their vileness and their enslavement of whites.

Israeli military and police have been kidnapping and shooting and stealing the bodies of Palestinians for decades, harvesting the latter’s organs for sale to the highest bidder. The organ trade, which is against international law, extends itself nearly throughout the world, since Jews are forbidden to desecrate the bodies of other Jews. Yet materialistic Israelis are desperate for organ donations, even from “goyim,” because, to them, this life is all there is. It was not coincidental that a number of New York rabbis were arrested for organ trafficking a few years ago—but the Zionist media never revealed the gruesome depravity of their activities. Ryssen fills that knowledge gap.

The Jews’ deliberate corruption of Western Christian morality through pornography and prostitution has for centuries been part of their effort to destroy European-American culture and Christianity—the Catholic Church, in particular. In these filthy enterprises, they have long exercised a nearly total monopoly, and Ryssen exposes it. You need to know about that, too, so that you can protect yourself and your family from the Judaic attack on traditional values—or find motivation to free yourself, if you have been ensnared already.

LONG HISTORY OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

And lest someone think that the “Jewish mafia” is a mere modern development, Ryssen provides a wealth of historical evidence that proves beyond doubt that international Jewry has been at the heart of the worst forms of criminality from ancient times until today. And if it is not immediately evident to even the most hard-boiled reader that the despicable and treacherous activities of a disproportionate percentage of the Jewish population are the larger share of the worst, societally destructive crimes, Ryssen concludes his encyclopedic work with a brief historical overview of so-called “anti-Semitism.” The same troubles afflict every nation where the Judaic people dwell in any numbers, and for the same reasons.

Ryssen’s book is a masterpiece: a monumental, carefully researched volume in some 380 pages. You need to own this book and study it. Many sections are disturbing, to say the least, but ignorance of them is dangerous to what remains of Western Christian civilization—indeed, dangerous to all non-Jewish peoples. Buy The Jewish Mafia now. Share it with family, friends, congressmen and senators—even open-minded Jews, if you can find them.

May Hervé Ryssen’s The Jewish Mafia awaken Christian and white people everywhere to the Judaic criminal threat from without. And may it also awaken world Jewry to reform and the extirpation of the poison in their midst.

Whitewashing the Dachau Show Trial

A Review

John Wear

Dunphy, John J., Unsung Heroes of the Dachau Trials: The Investigative Work of the U.S. Army 7708 War Crimes Group, 1945-1947, Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland & Company, Inc., 2019, 196 pp.

The book Unsung Heroes of the Dachau Trials deals with the 7708 War Crimes Group of the U.S. Army. The young Americans in this group were responsible for gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, apprehending suspects and securing convictions in trials held at Dachau conducted by the U.S. Army. Since remarkably little is known about the 7708 War Crimes Group, John J. Dunphy decided to write this book to educate the public about their activities. Dunphy states that he also wanted to preserve the testimony of the War Crimes Group members who agreed to be interviewed.

The desire to provide another refutation of what Dunphy calls “Holocaust denial” also figured in his decision to write this book. He states that he felt compelled to write his book upon learning about the book Innocent at Dachau. Dunphy, whose father served in the U.S. Army during World War II, says that researching and writing this book allowed him to see the war through his father’s eyes.

This article discusses some of the mistakes and misunderstandings made by Dunphy and the members of the 7708 War Crimes Group interviewed in this book.

Dachau Atrocities

Members of the 7708 War Crimes Group held a reunion in Alton, Illinois in September 2000. Ralph Schulz, a veteran of the group who grew up in Alton, said, “I’ll never forget the horror at the atrocities of Dachau.” Schulz said he “took photographs of a mass grave with the bodies of 135,000 murdered people.”

Schulz greatly exaggerated the number of people who died at Dachau. The book Dachau, 1933-1945: The Official History by Paul Berben stated that the total number of people who passed through Dachau during its existence is well in excess of 200,000. Berben concluded that while no one will ever know the exact number of deaths at Dachau, the number of deaths is probably only a few thousand more than the official number of 31,951.

More importantly, Schulz also apparently did not understand that most of the inmates at Dachau died of natural causes. The book Dachau, 1933-1944: The Official History documents that approximately 66% of all deaths at Dachau occurred during the final seven months of the war. 

The increase in deaths at Dachau was caused primarily by a devastating typhus epidemic which, in spite of the efforts made by the medical staff, continued to spread throughout the camp. The number of deaths at Dachau includes 2,226 people who died in May 1945 after the Allies had liberated the camp, as well as the deaths of 223 prisoners in March 1944 from Allied bombings of Kommandos.

Schulz said:

“I can still see the scratches of fingernails on the walls of the gas chambers where people tried to claw up the walls to escape the gas.”

Today no credible historian thinks that homicidal gas chambers were utilized at Dachau.

Dr. Charles P. Larson, an American forensic pathologist, performed autopsies at Dachau and some of its sub-camps which confirm that most inmates at Dachau died of natural causes. Dr. Larson performed about 25 autopsies a day for 10 days at Dachau and superficially examined another 300 to 1,000 bodies. He autopsied only those bodies that appeared to be questionable. Dr. Larson wrote in regard to these autopsies at Dachau:

“Many of them died from typhus. Dachau’s crematoriums couldn’t keep up with the burning of the bodies. They did not have enough oil to keep the incinerators going. I found that a number of the victims had also died from tuberculosis. All of them were malnourished. The medical facilities were most inadequate. There was no sanitation…

A rumor going around Dachau after we got there was that many of the prisoners were poisoned. I did a lot of toxicological analysis to determine the facts and removed organs from a cross-section of about 30 to 40 bodies and sent them into Paris to the Army’s First Medical laboratory for analysis, since I lacked the proper facilities in the field. The reports came back negative. I could not find where any of these people had been poisoned. The majority died of natural diseases of one kind or another.”

Dr. Larson did report that a number of inmates had been shot at some of the German camps, and that the living conditions in the camps were atrocious. The average daily caloric intake of the inmates was far short of requirements, thus accounting for the extreme emaciation of many of the inmates. 

However, in his depositions to Army lawyers, Dr. Larson made it clear that he did not think the deaths at Dachau were part of a program of mass murder. 

Larson also sincerely believed that although Dachau was only a short ride from Munich, most of the people in the city had no idea what was going on inside Dachau.

Dachau Retribution

Dunphy downplays the fact that Americans mass murdered German guards when they liberated Dachau. He quotes American Gen. Felix Sparks:

“The total number of German guards killed at Dachau during that day most certainly did not exceed 50, with 30 probably being a more accurate figure.”

However, the evidence indicates that almost all of the 560 guards at Dachau were murdered when the Americans took control of the camp.

Dachau was liberated on April 29, 1945, by the I Company of the Third Battalion, 157^th Infantry Regiment, 45^th (Thunderbird) Division, which was part of the Seventh Army of the United States. 

Soldiers who liberated Dachau saw a trainload of dead bodies, horrific scenes of sick and dying prisoners, piles of dead bodies strewn around the camp, and smelled a stench in the air from the rotting dead corpses. A soldier writing home about what he had seen at Dachau stated:

“No matter how terrible, revolting or horrible any newspaper reports are about Dachau; no matter how unreal or fantastic any pictures of it may seem, believe me, they can never half way tell the truth about this place. It is something I will never forget.”

It was in this environment that American troops committed the mass murder of the German guards at Dachau. The German roll call morning report of April 29, 1945, stated that 560 German guards were stationed at Dachau on the day it was liberated by American troops. This figure of 560 was reported by Lt. Heinrich Skodzensky and a Swiss Red Cross official when they attempted to surrender the camp to American forces. The vast majority of the 560 German guards at Dachau were murdered by the end of the day.

About 10 SS guards managed to escape by disguising themselves as inmates. However, they were quickly discovered and either shot, beaten to death, or taken prisoner. 

Approximately another 10 soldiers at Dachau were shot in the guard towers while attempting to man machine guns. Along with perhaps 20 more guards who tried to resist or escape, they are the only guards who can be classified as killed in combat. All of the remaining 520 guards at Dachau were murdered in one way or another.

Escaped or released inmates seeking revenge executed approximately 40 guards. The inmates used weapons obtained from American soldiers or taken from fallen SS troops to kill the German guards. Jack Hallett, one of Dachau’s liberators, stated in regard to these executions:

“Control was gone after the sights we saw, and the men were deliberately wounding guards that were available and then turned them over to the prisoners and allowing them to take their revenge on them. And, in fact, you’ve seen the picture where one of the soldiers gave one of the inmates a bayonet and watched him behead the man. It was a pretty gory mess. A lot of the guards were shot in the legs so they couldn’t move….”

Approximately another 122 German guards were shot on the spot by American forces. This number includes Lt. Skodzensky, the newly arrived Camp Commander who was stationed at Dachau while recovering from wounds sustained at the Russian front. Eventually the situation was brought under control and the 358 surviving guards were rounded up and herded into an enclosed area and placed under guard. However, a machine gunner from M Company nicknamed “Birdeye” lost control and used a .30 caliber machine gun to murder 12 more German soldiers. This left 346 surviving German guards at Dachau.

American Lt. Jack Bushyhead was left in charge to guard the remaining German prisoners. Acting with what he believed to be compelling justification, Bushyhead lined up the remaining German guards along a high brick wall and disposed of them with bursts of machine gun fire. He then allowed three or four liberated inmates the satisfaction of completing the execution.

First Lt. Howard A. Buechner later asked Bushyhead why he had allowed the mass murder of the remaining German guards. Bushyhead, who was an American Indian, said that he and his ancestors had always known discrimination, persecution and injustice without retribution. When in Dachau he saw death and atrocities far beyond human comprehension, he became an instrument of vengeance. Lt. Bushyhead claimed full responsibility for the murder of the German guards at Dachau.

Accusations were drawn up against at least four officers and five enlisted men for the murder of the German guards at Dachau. Lt. Bushyhead was accused of violating the rules of the Geneva Convention, which protect prisoners of war regardless of atrocities they may have committed. The following is a report of how Gen. Patton handled the illegal American execution of the Dachau guards:

“After a brief interchange, Patton ordered every officer, who had participated in the Dachau investigation to report to his office. He also demanded that they bring every document and photograph which they had collected. He then asked if they had placed every scrap of evidence in his hands. When assured that nothing had been withheld, he dumped all the papers into a metal wastebasket, asked for a cigarette lighter and personally applied the flame to the documents.

 

The charges against Lieutenant Bushyhead had been dismissed. But, of greater importance, with this act, the written records of the executions at Dachau were stricken forever from the annals of military history. The incident would remain alive only in the minds of men, and here it was buried for more than 40 years. Officially, the hour of the Avenger had never occurred.”

The court martial charges were dropped and all records of the mass murder of the German guards at Dachau were destroyed. Gen. Patton had decided that to pursue the matter further would have led to adverse publicity. One of the tragedies of this episode is that most of the German guards who were killed were a hastily assembled group of replacements for guards who had fled Dachau. These replacement guards at Dachau were innocent of wrongdoing and should never have been murdered.

Sworn Statements and Confessions

Bill Kasich, a member of the 7708 War Crimes Group, was quite emphatic about the circumstances under which sworn statements and confessions were made. Kasich assured Dunphy that the American investigators he knew and worked with neither bullied nor beat anyone.

It is possible that all of the investigators working with Kasich acted properly in obtaining sworn statements and confessions. However, many investigators in the war-crimes trials did not act properly. For example, Benjamin Ferencz admitted in an interview that he used threats and intimidation to obtain confessions at the Dachau trials:

“You know how I got witness statements? I’d go into a village where, say, an American pilot had parachuted and been beaten to death and line everyone up against the wall. Then I’d say, ‘Anyone who lies will be shot on the spot.’ It never occurred to me that statements taken under duress would be invalid.”

Ferencz, who enjoys an international reputation as a world peace advocate, further related a story concerning his interrogation of an SS colonel. Ferencz explained that he took out his pistol in order to intimidate him:

“What do you do when he thinks he’s still in charge? I’ve got to show him that I’m in charge. All I’ve got to do is squeeze the trigger and mark it as auf der Flucht erschossen [shot while trying to escape] …I said ‘you are in a filthy uniform sir, take it off!’ I stripped him naked and threw his clothes out the window. He stood there naked for half an hour, covering his balls with his hands, not looking nearly like the SS officer he was reported to be. Then I said ‘now listen, you and I are gonna have an understanding right now. I am a Jew—I would love to kill you and mark you down as auf der Flucht erschossen, but I’m gonna do what you would never do. You are gonna sit down and write out exactly what happened—when you entered the camp, who was there, how many died, why they died, everything else about it. Or, you don’t have to do that—you are under no obligation—you can write a note of five lines to your wife, and I will try to deliver it…’ [Ferencz gets the desired statement and continues:] I then went to someone outside and said ‘Major, I got this affidavit, but I’m not gonna use it—it is a coerced confession. I want you to go in, be nice to him, and have him re-write it.’ The second one seemed to be okay—I told him to keep the second one and destroy the first one. That was it.”

The fact that Ferencz threatened and humiliated his witness and reported as much to his superior officer indicates that he operated in a culture where such illegal methods were acceptable.

Evidence was also presented that many of the defendants at the Dachau trial made their confessions after being tortured. For example, defendant Johann Kick testified:

“I was under arrest here in Dachau from sixth to 15th of May. During this time, I was beaten all day and night. I had to stand at attention for hours. I had to kneel down on pointed objects. I had to stand under a lamp for hours and look into the light, at which time I was also beaten and kicked. As a result of this treatment my arm was paralyzed for about 10 weeks.”

Kick testified that as a result of these beatings, he signed the confession presented to him by U.S. Lt. Paul Guth. Kick’s testimony regarding his torture, however, made no difference to the eight U.S. military officers who presided as judges in the trial.

Defense witnesses at the Mauthausen trial in Dachau repeatedly testified to improper interrogation techniques used by the prosecution. Defendant Viktor Zoller, the former adjutant to Mauthausen commandant Franz Ziereis, testified that Paul Guth said:

“I received special permission and can have you shot immediately if I want to.”

When Zoller refused to sign a confession, Guth acted as if he was going to shoot Zoller. Zoller still refused to sign the confession and wrote:

“I won’t say another word even though the court might think I am a criminal who refused to talk.”

Defendant Georg Goessl testified that Guth told him to add the words “and were injected by myself” to his statement. If Goessl did not write down what Guth dictated, Guth visually demonstrated to Goessl that he would be hanged. Goessl testified that he then signed the false statement and planned to clear up the matter in court.

Defendant Willy Frey testified that the prosecution witnesses had never seen him before and wouldn’t be able to identify him if he didn’t have a number hanging around his neck. Frey testified that he had been severely beaten in Mossburg by an American officer. Frey signed his confession only because he was afraid of being beaten again.

Defendant Johannes Grimm testified that he signed a false statement that Lt. Guth had dictated to Dr. Ernst Leiss. When asked why he signed this false statement, Grimm replied:

“I already described my mental condition on that day. I had memories of the previous interrogations. My left cheekbone was broken and four of my teeth were knocked out.”

Grimm further testified:

“The only superior I had to obey was Lt. Guth telling me to write this sentence.”

Mauthausen defense attorney Lt. Patrick W. McMahon, in his closing argument to the Dachau Tribunal, said there was grave doubt that the defendants’ statements were freely given. Further, the striking similarity of the language made it obvious the statements contained only language desired by the interrogators. McMahon cited numerous examples in which defendants used similar language to say crimes committed at Mauthausen could not be ascribed to any one leader. In regard to shootings to prevent further escapes, McMahon also cited several examples where similar language was used in the defendants’ statements.

McMahon said in his closing argument:

“And so it goes with Drabek, Entress, Feigl, with Trauner, Niedermeyer, Haeger, Miessner, Riegler, Zoller, with Blei, with Eckert, with Striegel, with Eigruber, with Eisenhoefer, with Mack and Riegler. Let the court also note the unbelievable accusations that the affiants make against themselves. It is contrary to normal human conduct. People just don’t talk that way about themselves. Beyond any doubt, threats and duress were used to induce the signing of the untruthful statements in evidence.”

Thus, the evidence is overwhelming that large portions of the confessions and statements used at the Dachau trials were obtained under duress. While it is possible that members of the 7708 War Crimes Group did not use or know about these improper procedures, these forced confessions were nevertheless quite common.

Otto Skorzeny’s Trial

German SS-officer Otto Skorzeny was tried at Dachau after the war. The charges brought against Skorzeny included wrongfully obtaining United States uniforms and using them in combat. It was also alleged that Skorzeny and his men tortured and killed more than 100 U.S. prisoners of war. Additionally, Skorzeny allegedly removed and appropriated insignias of rank, decorations, uniforms and other items from U.S. prisoners of war. Finally, Skorzeny allegedly misappropriated Red Cross food and clothing parcels consigned to U.S. prisoners of war.

Skorzeny and his fellow defendants were found not guilty of all charges at his trial. U.S. Army 7708 War Crimes Group member Bill Kasich expressed his opinion that Skorzeny was acquitted because the Allies felt they could use Skorzeny’s skills against the Russians somewhere down the line. Dunphy also expresses surprise that the Dachau court found the defendants not guilty of what he calls blatant violations of the Geneva Convention. However, Skorzeny was found not guilty because Skorzeny’s case had gone very poorly for the prosecution.

The American prosecutor summoned a German captain who accused Skorzeny of distributing poison bullets to his commandos to use against Americans during the Battle of the Bulge. The captain testified that he identified the poison bullets by a red ring around the case.

On cross-examination, defense attorney Lt. Col. Robert Durst showed the captain a bullet with a red ring around the case and asked, “Is this the type of bullet you are speaking of?” The captain said “Yes.” It only took Durst a few minutes to get the captain to admit that the bullet in Durst’s hand was a waterproof bullet, and that the poison bullets were entirely different in appearance. The captain confessed he had lied to the court.

The American-run court then attempted to convict Skorzeny for ordering his men to wear American uniforms during the Ardennes offensive. Skorzeny testified that he had given his commandos orders not to fight while in American uniforms, that they did not fire a bullet while in the disguise, and that his men had abided by the Hague Convention. Skorzeny also testified that the American and British had followed the same procedure many times.

The tribunal was not convinced that military units fighting for the Allies had worn German uniforms. Rumors were not acceptable as evidence in this particular court of law. The next day would bring the trial to a conclusion since the tribunal had other prisoners to try. Skorzeny had no further defense, and he didn’t sleep that night because he was worried about the trial’s outcome.

Skorzeny was surprised the next day when Durst called to the witness stand British Royal Air Force Wing Commander Forrest Yeo-Thomas. Yeo-Thomas testified that the British Secret Service often wore German uniforms, were always armed, and when trapped, used their guns without hesitation. He also explained that German soldiers were sometimes ambushed so that their papers and uniforms could be taken and used by British agents.

As Yeo-Thomas stepped down from the witness chair, Skorzeny and the other defendants stood at attention in a gesture of appreciation. The tribunal had to acquit the German defendants because otherwise they would have to admit that the victors fought under a different set of rules than the losers. Ironically, Skorzeny had won his case even though he had been defended by an American military lawyer, before a tribunal composed entirely of American military officers, and with his primary witness being a British military intelligence officer.

Professional Witnesses and Mock Trials

Dunphy is highly critical of the book Innocent at Dachau by Joseph Halow. He also writes that “[Bill] Kasich was familiar with the book and thoroughly despised it.”

The book Innocent at Dachau claims that false witnesses were used at most of the American-run war-crimes trials at Dachau. Joseph Halow, a young U.S. court reporter at the Dachau trials in 1947, described some of the false witnesses at the Dachau trials:

“[T]he major portion of the witnesses for the prosecution in the concentration-camp cases were what came to be known as ‘professional witnesses,’ and everyone working at Dachau regarded them as such. ‘Professional,’ since they were paid for each day they testified. In addition, they were provided free housing and food, at a time when these were often difficult to come by in Germany. Some of them stayed in Dachau for months, testifying in every one of the concentration-camp cases. In other words, these witnesses made their living testifying for the prosecution. Usually, they were former inmates from the camps, and their strong hatred of the Germans should, at the very least, have called their testimony into question.”

Stephen F. Pinter, who served as a U.S. Army prosecuting attorney at the American-run trials of Germans at Dachau, confirmed Halow’s statement. In a 1960 affidavit Pinter said that “notoriously perjured witnesses” were used to charge Germans with false and unfounded crimes. Pinter stated:

“Unfortunately, as a result of these miscarriages of justice, many innocent persons were convicted and some were executed.”

The use of false witnesses has also been acknowledged by Johann Neuhäusler, who was an ecclesiastical resistance fighter interned in two German concentration camps from 1941 to 1945. Neuhäusler stated that in some of the American-run trials “many of the witnesses, perhaps 90%, were paid professional witnesses with criminal records ranging from robbery to homosexuality.” The frequent use of such false witnesses calls into question the legitimacy of the Dachau trials.

American attorney Col. Willis N. Everett, Jr. was assigned to defend the 74 German defendants accused of the Malmédy incident. The trial took place at Dachau from May 16 to July 16, 1946. Everett and his defense staff of lawyers, interpreters and stenographers divided into several teams to interview the defendants. Everett wrote to his family of the experience:

“Several defendants today said they thought they had had a trial…a Col. sat on the Court and his defense counsel rushed the proceedings through and he was to be hanged the next day so he might as well write up a confession and clear some of his fellows seeing he would be hanged…another kind of court had black curtains…The Lt. Col. sat as judge at a black-draped table which had a white cross on it and the only light was two candles on either end. He was tried and witnesses brought in and he was sentenced to death, but he would have to write down in his own handwriting a complete confession. Then the beatings and hang-man’s rope, black hood, eye gougers which they claimed would be used on them unless they confessed. Not a one yet wrote out his statement but each stated that the prosecution dictated their statements and they said it made no difference anyway as they would die the next day. So, on and on it goes with each one of the defendants. The story of each must have some truth because they have each been in solitary confinement.”

Such use of mock trials to obtain confessions was a disgrace to the American judicial system. Willis Everett was convinced that the Malmédy trial had been an ethical abomination. Approximately 100 of Everett’s friends and acquaintances and some additional American military officers advised Everett to forget about the Malmédy case and live in the present. Everett’s sense of ethics, however, set him on a mission to obtain justice for the Malmédy defendants.

Ultimately, because of Everett’s efforts, none of the Malmédy defendants was executed. They were gradually released from prison courtesy of the Annual Review Board and tensions resulting from the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Jochen Peiper was the last Malmédy defendant to leave prison, receiving his release on December 22, 1956.

Unfair Burden of Proof and Rules of Evidence

Dunphy writes that anyone wanting to learn the truth about the Dachau trials should read Joshua M. Greene’s book Justice at Dachau: The Trials of an American Prosecutor. This book provides an introduction to the Dachau trials through the work of William Denson, a Harvard Law School graduate who prosecuted more alleged German war criminals than any other lawyer in the postwar era, and achieved a 100% conviction rate. Of the 177 guards and officers Denson prosecuted, 97 were sentenced to death, 54 to life imprisonment and the rest to sentences of hard labor.

Dunphy writes that “Justice at Dachau is a powerful scholarly antidote for anyone who finds it necessary to read Innocent at Dachau.” In reality, Justice at Dachau provides important information why the German defendants at Dachau did not receive a fair trial.

The Dachau tribunal was composed of eight senior U.S. military officers with the rank of at least full colonel. The president of the court, Brig. Gen. John M. Lentz, was the former commanding general of the 3^rd Army’s 87^th Infantry Division. These U.S. military officers with no formal legal training were not qualified to objectively review the evidence presented in the trial.

Lt. Col. William Denson, the chief prosecuting attorney, used the legal concept of common design for establishing that camp personnel at Dachau were guilty of violating the laws and usages of war. The Dachau tribunal accepted Denson’s legal concept of common design. In common design, Denson had discovered a legal concept wide enough to apply to everyone who had worked in Dachau. In essence, the Dachau defendants were all assumed to be guilty unless proven innocent.

The rules of evidence used at the Dachau trial were also extremely lax. For example, hearsay evidence presented by the prosecution was routinely allowed by the judges. Such testimony was permitted at the Dachau trial if it seemed “relevant to a reasonable man.” This departure from normal Anglo-Saxon law was intended to compensate for the fact that some eyewitnesses had died in the camp.

Lt. Col. Douglas T. Bates, the chief defense attorney, was also not permitted to fully cross-examine all of the prosecution witnesses. For example, prosecution witness Arthur Haulot, a 32-year-old journalist and former lieutenant in the Belgian army, threatened to leave the trial after being aggressively cross-examined by Bates. An hour later, Bates and the other defense lawyers met with Haulot outside of the courtroom. Bates put a friendly arm around Haulot’s shoulder and said:

“We just want to thank you. By speaking up, you got us properly scolded. We were doing what we had to do, and frankly it disgusted us. You won’t be bothered like that again.”

Such a change of tactics by the defense counsel would never have occurred if the trial had taken place in an American courtroom. However, at Dachau the defense attorneys were soldiers who took seriously reprimands from their superior officers who were judges in the trial.

Defense attorney Douglas Bates in his closing statement at the first Dachau trial challenged the court’s use of the legal concept of common design. Bates said:

“The most talked-of phrase has been ‘common design.’ Let us be honest and admit that common design found its way into the judgment for the simple expedient of trying 40 defendants in one mass trial instead of having to try one each in 40 trials. Where is the common design? Conspicuous by its absence, established for the purpose of trapping some defendants against whom there was a shortage of proof—by arguing, for example, that if Schoep was a guard in the camp, then he was equally responsible for everything that went on. There are guards at each gate of this American post today. Is it not far-fetched to say they are responsible for crimes that may be committed within the confines of this large area? If every one of the defendants is guilty of participating in that large common design, then it becomes necessary to hold responsible every member of the Nazi Party and every citizen of Germany who contributed to the waging of total war—and I submit that can’t be done.

I read this in Life magazine today: ‘Justice cannot be measured quantitatively. If the whole of Germany is guilty of murder, no doubt it would be just to exterminate the German people. The real problem is to know who is guilty of what.’ Perhaps the prosecution has arrived at a solution as to how an entire people can be indicted as an acting part of a mythical common design.

And a new definition of murder has been introduced along with common design. This new principle of law says, ‘I am given food and told to feed these people. The food is inadequate. I feed them with it, and they die of starvation. I am guilty of murder.’ Germany was fighting a war she had lost six months before. All internal business had completely broken down. I presume people like Filleboeck and Wetzel should have reenacted the miracle at Galilee, where five loaves and fishes fed a multitude.

There has been a lot of impressive law read by the chief counsel, and it is good law—Miller, Wharton. The sad thing is that little of it is applicable to the facts in this case. Perhaps we have not been diligent enough in seeking applicable law. Some think the prosecution has found applicable law in the Rules of Land Warfare on the doctrine of superior orders. We have no intention of arguing that executions by the German Reich were due process. Nevertheless, we contend that executions were the result of law of the then recognized regime in Germany and that members of the firing squad were simple soldiers acting in the same capacity as in any military organization in the world….

If law cloaks a bloodbath in Germany, the idea of law will be the real victim. Lynch law, of which we have known a good deal in America, often gets the right man. But its aftermath is a contempt for the law, a contempt that breeds more criminals. It is far, far better that some guilty men escape than that the idea of law be endangered. In the long run, the idea of law is our best defense against Nazism in all its forms.

In closing, I ask permission to paraphrase a great statesman. Never in the history of judicial procedure has so much punishment been asked against so many on so little proof.”

Despite its unfairness, William Denson refused to acknowledge that the legal concept of common design should not apply in this case. Denson stated:

“I do not want the court to feel that it is necessary to establish individual acts of misconduct to show guilt or innocence. If he participated in this common design, as evidence has shown, it is sufficient to establish his guilt.”

Conclusion

Unsung Heroes of the Dachau Trials is useful in learning the views of some of the surviving members of the U.S. Army 7708 War Crimes Group. However, its attempt at establishing the justice and fairness of the Dachau trials is totally unconvincing.

Benjamin Ferencz acknowledges the unfairness of the Dachau trials:

“I was there for the liberation, as a sergeant in the Third Army, General Patton’s Army, and my task was to collect camp records and witness testimony, which became the basis for prosecutions…But the Dachau trials were utterly contemptible. There was nothing resembling the rule of law. More like court-martials…It was not my idea of a judicial process. I mean, I was a young, idealistic Harvard law graduate.”

Ferencz states that nobody including himself protested against such procedures in the Dachau trials.

The defendants did not receive a fair and impartial hearing in the Dachau trials. The use of interrogation methods designed to produce false confessions, lax rules of evidence and procedure, the presumption that the defendants were guilty unless proven innocent, American military judges with little or no legal training, unreliable eyewitness testimony, and the inability of defense counsel to aggressively cross-examine some of the prosecution witnesses ensured the conviction of most of the defendants in the Dachau trials.
