        Oct. 5, 1942
        Dubno, Ukraine, U.S.S.R.

        "'... My foreman and I went directly to
        the pits. I heard rifle shots in quick succession
        from one of the earth mounds. The people who
        had got off the trucks -- men, women and children
        of all ages -- had to undress upon the order of an
        S.S. man, who carried a riding or dog whip.

        'They had to put down their clothes in fixed places,
        sorted according to shoes, top clothing and
        under-clothing. I saw a heap of shoes of about
        800 to 1,000 pairs, great piles of under-linen and
        clothing.

        'Without screaming or weeping these
        people undressed, stood around in family
        groups, kissed each other, said farewells
        and waited for a sign from another S.S. man,
        who stood near the pit, also with a whip in
        his hand. During the fifteen minutes that I stood
        near the pit I heard no complaint or plea
        for mercy...

        'An old woman with snow-white hair
        was holding a one-year-old child in her arms
        and singing to it and tickling it. The child was
        cooing with delight. The parents were looking
        on with tears in their eyes. The father was holding
        the hand of a boy about 10 years old and
        speaking to him softly; the boy was fighting his
        tears. The father pointed to the sky, stroked his
        head and seemed to explain something to him.

        'At that moment the S.S. man at the pit
        shouted something to his comrade. The latter
        counted off about twenty persons and instructed
        them to go behind the earth mound . . . I well
        remember a girl, slim and with black hair, who,
        as she passed close to me, pointed to herself
        and said: 'Twenty-three years old.'

        'I walked around the mound and found
        myself confronted by a tremendous grave.
        People were closely wedged together and lying
        on top of each other so that only their heads were
        visible. Nearly all had blood running over
        their shoulders from their heads. Some of
        the people were still moving. Some were
        lifting their arms and turning their heads to
        show that they were still alive.

        'The pit was already two-thirds full. I estimated that
        it  contained about a thousand people. I looked
        for the man who did the shooting. He was an
        S.S. man, who sat at the edge of the narrow end
        of the pit, his feet dangling into the pit. He had a
        tommy gun on his knees and was smoking a
        cigarette.

        'The people, completely naked, went
        down some steps and clambered over the
        heads of the people lying there to the place
        to which the S.S. man directed them. They
        lay down in front of the dead or wounded
        people; some caressed those who were still
        alive and spoke to them in a low voice.

        'Then I heard a series of shots. I looked into the
        pit and saw that the bodies were twitching or
        their heads lying already motionless on top of
        the bodies that lay beneath them. Blood was
        running from their necks.

        'The next batch was approaching already.
        They went down into the pit, lined themselves up
        against the previous victims and were shot.  And so it
        went, batch after batch.'

        "The next morning the German engineer returned to the
        site.

        'I saw about thirty naked people lying near
        the pit. Some of them were still alive . . . Later the
        Jews still alive were ordered to throw the
        corpses into the pit. Then they themselves had
        to lie down in this to be shot in the neck . . . I
        swear before God that this is the absolute truth.'"

        - Hermann Graebe, quoted by a prosecutor
        at the Nuremberg trials, concerning the murder
        of Dubno's 5,000 Jews.

        L. Shirer

        "A thousand years will pass and the
        guilt of Germany will not be erased." - Hans Frank,
        governor-general of Poland, before he was hanged
        at Nuremberg

According to this website I saw the other day, the lunar landings were
faked - presumably by little green men from Atlantis or something.
