This article appeared in the May/June 1993 issue of The Journal of Historical Review. In it, Holocaust promoter Simon Wiesenthal is quoted from a letter he published in a January 1993 issue of Stars and Stripes (and reproduced here) in which he stated, "there were no extermination camps on German soil" during the Second World War. He had published this before in the April 1975 issue of the British periodical "Books and Bookmen."
Dr. Martin Broszat's letter entitled "No Gassing in Dachau" that appeared in the August 19, 1960 edition of the Hamburg weekly Die Zeit, is also quoted and reproduced in this article. Dr. Broszat said that none of the camps of the Old Reich (Germany proper) territory were ever used for extermination purposes.
This has been widely accepted for years, but the fact that Holocaust promoters say this contrasts sharply with what was authoritatively claimed in the decades following World War Two. At the great Nuremberg Tribunal of 1945-1946, for example, Allied government officials presented apparently conclusive evidence to prove that camps "on German soil" were "extermination" centers. Chief British prosecutor, Sir Hartley Shawcross declared in his closing address July 26, 1946, that "murder was conducted like some mass production industry in the gas chambers and the ovens" of Buchenwald, Dachau, Oranienburg--all on German soil, as well as other camps.
So even Simon Wiesenthal and other Holocaust promoters are implicitly "denying history," history "established" by their Nuremberg Tribunal.
