June 28

1943

With the completion of the last of five crematoria at
Birkenau, the killing center now has the capacity to
cremate 4,750 corpses a day. (USHMM 1993, 37)

1944

In Paris the resistance kills Minister of Information
Phillipe Henriot, a radio commentator and a high-ranking
officer in the `Milice.' Paul Touvier, head of the `Milice'
in Lyon, is ordered to shoot hostages in reprisal for
Henriot's death, and on June 30 he selects seven of twenty-
five Jewish prisoners to be executed by firing squad.
(USHMM 1994, 47)

Radio Kossuth, Communist-sponsored broadcasts aimed at
Hungary, announces that two hundred thousand Hungarian Jews
have been killed in the past few months. This broadcast
follows several programs in the preceding three months
warning of the extermination of the Jews and Hungarian
responsibility for it. (Ibid.)

The British war cabinet approves a memorandum by the lord
chancellor which states, in part, that Britain will gather
evidence of German atrocities against Jews only in occupied
countries, since German crimes against German Jews could in
their view not be considered war crimes. (Ibid.)

This oft repeated and truly absurd claim comes from a deliberate
mistranslation of a letter from SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Jahrling to
SS-General Kammler. Jahnrling letter was estimated the number of
workers that could be assigned to each Krema building during a 24 hour
period. Jahrling used the word "personen" meaning person or worker,
but the German-hating holocaust crowd translated "personen" to mean
corpses. Here's the way the letter listed the work estimate:

1.) Crematorium I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 x 2 muffles 340 persons

2.) Crematorium II
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5 x 3 muffles 1440 persons

3.) Crematorium III
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5 x 3 muffles 1440 persons

4.) Crematorium IV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 muffles 768 persons

5.) Crematorium V
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 muffles 768 persons

Common sense should lead any rational person to realize that
Jahrling could not have been talking about corpses: 1440 cremations in
24 hours using only 15 cremation compartment would mean one cremation
every 15 minutes--a physical impossibility. And Jahrling said nothing
about corpses; he was speaking about people--workers.

Those Krema buildings covered an area the size of a football
field. They contained rooms for storage, sorting, cleaning, and
packaging. The buildings contained shower rooms, boiler rooms,
morgues, and fuel storage. Workers were needed to clean, sort, and
distribute clothing; to prepare bodies for cremation; to pick up and
sift through refuse for incineration; and to pick up and deliver coke
to the more than 300 buildings making up the camp. 1440 workers over a
24 hour period was only 480 workers active during an eight-hour shift.

That's what Jahrling's letter was estimating--the number of
workers who could be employed at the Kremas during a 24-hour period.
The ridiculous claim that Jahrling was estimating the number of
corpses that could be cremated is nothing but another cruel lie of the
holocaust.

Thanks for posting this up till now we only did have the explanation of
