<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nHolocaust revisionism is perhaps the most institutionally reviled, criminally punished and socially persecuted field of research in modern Western history.<\/span><\/p>\n Yet, on the much publicized 75th anniversary of the Soviet liberation of Auschwitz, the gatekeepers of the Holocaust continue to give ground, kicking and screaming along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n The latest example is a new book by former Museum of Jewish Heritage director David G. Marwell, \u201cUnmasking the \u2018Angel of Death\u2019,\u201d which grants many revisionist challenges to the legend of Joseph Mengele.<\/span><\/p>\n Marwell\u2019s work is considered the most well-researched mainstream biography of Mengele to date. In it, he cross references witness testimony from \u201csurvivors\u201d with hard evidence and primary sources, only to conclude that their \u201cmemories\u201d were \u201cunreliable.\u201d In other words, they are lying.<\/span><\/p>\n Stitching together humans to create siamese twins, smashing babies against train cars, attempts to transform boys into girls \u2013 all of the barbarism etched into the popular mind about a German in a labcoat, Marwell concludes, is nothing but a pack of atrocious hoaxes.<\/span><\/p>\n Marwell does stress that Mengele was a true-believing Nationalsocialist, which in his mind is an act of evil in and of itself. According to the book, he also at times overstepped ethical boundaries, for example when studying the effects of food deprivation on the human body, but the so-called \u201cAngel of Death\u201d made up for this by giving subjects superior accommodations and privileged treatment when the experiments were over. The twins and dwarves he studied were treated kindly, even if looking at living people as laboratory specimens in any context is dehumanizing. By and large, the book admits that what is commonly known about Mengele is fiction constructed by rumors, novels and Hollywood which have been held as true thanks to Jewish \u201ceyewitnesses\u201d substantiating the hoaxes post-hoc.<\/span><\/p>\n Mengele\u2019s main achievement at the camp, which Marwell credits him for, was containing and preventing a massive outbreak of typhus at Auschwitz in difficult circumstances. Alex McNabb had previously\u00a0written<\/a>\u00a0about this, and was attacked by Zionist commentators for it. This saved thousands of lives, Jewish and Gentile alike. Mengele was not motivated by hate and sadism. His most intimate letters and confessions show only a passion for advancing medical science.<\/span><\/p>\n Majdanek: No Longer a Death Camp?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Another relatively recent victory won by revisionists is a quiet adjustment by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to their page on the Nazi \u201ckilling centers,\u201d They have been forced to admit that the\u00a0Majdanek<\/a>\u00a0camp in Poland was not used to exterminate Jews.<\/span><\/p>\n The USHMM\u00a0credits<\/a>\u00a0\u201crecent research\u201d for retracting what has traditionally been considered the sixth death camp. This is research dissident historians have contributed to while risking their freedoms, employment prospects and lives. The work of such revisionists has been partially archived\u00a0here<\/a>. .<\/span><\/p>\n Majdanek was the first camp liberated by the Soviet Union, in 1944. There, they found Zyklon-B canisters, ovens and showers, which Soviet propagandists used to declare that over a million Jews were systematically murdered by gas. The evidence provided by the USSR were German documents that they asserted held coded references to systematic homicide gassings. The pattern is similar to what they later argued with Auschwitz, also liberated by the Soviets. Multiple camp guards and commanders were charged with war crimes and given the death penalty based on fictitious claims related to Majdanek.<\/span><\/p>\n This fairy tale was promoted by a variety of Jewish and some non-Jewish scholars. In recent years, the death toll itself has been drastically reduced from 1.3 million victims according to the academic Lucy Dawidowicz, to 78,000 according to the chief historian at the camp\u2019s museum today. Revisionists hold that the numbers of people who died, largely of typhus, dysentary, etc, could be half of even that official figure.<\/span><\/p>\n The Immovable Force of Auschwitz<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve noticed that the Holocaust story appears more centered around Auschwitz than usual, it\u2019s because this is the last straw Holocaustians have to grasp on.<\/span><\/p>\n But here too, we are beginning to see official omissions of previously claimed homicidal gas chambers, for example at Auschwitz I (Stammlager), the main camp tourists visit. The USHMM now specifically distinguishes only Auschwitz II (Birkenau) as the site of homicide gassings.<\/span><\/p>\n Revisionists like Robert Faurisson have always contended that the gas chamber shown to visitors is a\u00a0fake<\/a>. Even thought the French newspaper\u00a0L\u2019Express<\/em>\u00a0was able to get the Auschwitz Museum to admit that the gas chambers they show to people are phony, official tour guides still present the exhibit as an authentic homicide gas chamber. On the infamous Deborah Lipstadt\u2019s website, it says that the gas chamber isn\u2019t a fake intended to fool visitors, it\u2019s a \u201crecreation\u201d meant to be\u00a0\u201csymbolic\u201d<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n Auschwitz appears to be the fortress those invested in Holocaust mythology are staking their last stand on. It is impossible for them to give any more ground without the whole story collapsing.<\/span><\/p>\n
