Auschwitz Occurred on Sept Mainstream historians claim that the very first CCarloarlo MMattognoattogno gassing of human beings at Auschwitz occurred on Sept. 3, 1941, in the basement of building no. 11 of the Auschwitz main camp. It is purported to have lasted G 15 hours, followed by another two days of ventilation N I and removal of the corpses of 850 victims. S For this study, Mattogno analyzed all available tes- S AAuschwitz:uschwitz: timonies. The resulting image is quite confusing: A G – The gassing happened either in spring 1941, or on Aug. 14, or 15, or on Sept. 3-5, or 5-6, or 5-8, or on Oct. 9, 1941, or T even in Nov. or Dec. of 1942. The location was either the old crema- S TThehe FFirstirst torium, or one, or all rooms, or even all rooms plus the hallway of R the basement of building 11, or somewhere at Birkenau; I F – the victims were either Russian POWs, or partisans, or political E GGassingassing commissars, or Poles, or Russian POWs and sick Polish detainees. There were either 200, or 300, or 500, or 696, or 800, or 850, or 980, H or 1,000, or 1,400, or 1,663 victims; T – the poison gas was administered a) by individuals alternatively : known as “SS-man Palitzsch,” “Tom Mix,” “the strangler,” or Z “Breitwieser”; b) either into the corridor, or into the cells; c) a total T of three cans, or perhaps two cans into each cell; d) either through I the door, or through a ventilation fl ap, or through openings above W the doors to the cells; H – the victims died immediately, or perhaps stayed alive for 15 hours; C – the corpses were removed either the next day, or the next night, or S 1-2 days later, or 3 days later, or on the 4th day, or the 6th day; U – the work took either one day, or one night, or 2 nights, or 3 nights; A – the bodies of the victims were either cremated, or buried in mass • graves, or partly cremated and partly buried. GASSING THE FIRST AUSCHWITZ: • O These chaotic claims regarding the very fi rst gassing at Ausch witz are N typical for all other accounts of homicidal gassings during the Third G O Reich. Using original wartime documents, Auschwitz: The First Gas- T sing by Carlo Mattogno refutes these claims and infl icts a fi nal blow T A to the tale of the fi rst alleged homicidal gassing.

Even today, thirteen years later, official historiography has not only failed to produce a reply to this study, but in its obstinate historical dogmatism has not even found it necessary to study the topic in greater depth. This, however, is more important than ever before. The first homicidal gassing in the Ausch- witz concentration camp was allegedly carried out between September 3 and 5, 1941, in the basement of building (block) 13. This building was later named block 11 because of an administrative change in the numbering of the build- ings. This first gassing is said to have been the starting point of the alleged mass extermination process at Auschwitz. After having gone through the in- termediate stages of the mortuary in crematorium I of the Stammlager (Auschwitz main camp) and the so-called “Bunkers” at Birkenau, this claimed extermination process later led to the alleged homicidal gas chambers of the Birkenau crematoria. As such, the first homicidal gassing would therefore constitute the birth of the homicidal gas chambers and mark the “official” in- troduction of Zyklon B into the Auschwitz holocaust history. Moreover, it would also constitute the archetype of the alleged “selections” of registered detainees in the camp hospitals for the “gas chambers.” The consequence of this strange inactivity on the part of official historiog- raphy is that the bibliography on this topic is, as yet, practically non-existent. Up until 1992, only a single article had been dedicated to this subject,1 aside from my own contribution presented at the “Ninth International Revisionist Conference” of 1989,2 which I later expanded to the present study. Because the article mentioned above had appeared in a Polish journal, it remained prac- tically unnoticed by western specialists on Auschwitz until 1987, when an abridged translation became available in German.3 Hence, for decades – and practically

In this study, Italian scholar and prolific Revisionist author Carlo Mattogno analyzes the most important witness testimonies and juxta- poses them with original German wartime documents as well as ma- terial evidence still available today. Mattogno shows that the witness testimonies are either extremely vague or, where they are specific, that they contradict each other or claim physical impossibilities. A few wit- nesses made more specific statements, which allow for their verifica- tion or refutation. Mattogno performs an analysis of these statements with the help of both original German wartime documents and mate- rial evidence. His analysis reveals that the claims of these witnesses are totally unfounded. Mattogno also exposes the fraudulent attempts of mainstream historians to convert the witnesses’ black propaganda into “truth” by means of selective quotes, omissions and distortions. CARLO MATTOGNO Finally, Mattogno shows with forensic methods—by investigating the current state of the structure as presented to tourists today—that this crematory’s morgue has never been anything different than what it was meant to be: a morgue.

    INTIMACY IMPRISONED: INTIMATE HUMAN RELATIONS IN THE HOLOCAUST CAMPS In fulfillment of EUH 6990 Dr. Daniel E. Miller 1 December 2000 Donna R. Fluharty 2 Each person surviving the Holocaust has their own personal narrative. A great number of these narratives have been written; many have been published. It is important for personal accounts to be told by each survivor, as each narrative brings a different perspective to the combined history. Knowing this, I dedicate my research to the narratives I was unable to read, whether they were simply unavailable or, unfortunately, unwritten. More importantly, this research is dedicated to those whose stories will never be told. 3 In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl states that a human being is able to withstand any condition if there is sufficient meaning to his existence, a theme which permeates the entire work. 1 For a significant number of people, the right to this search for meaning was denied by a Holocaust which took the lives of an undetermined number of European Jews, war criminals, homosexuals, Gypsies, children, and mentally or physically handicapped persons. This denial of humanness was an essential component of Adolph Hitler’s plan to elevate the Aryan nation and rid the world of undesirables. In spite of laws which dictated human associations, through the triumph of the human spirit, certain prisoners of the Nazi ghettos, labor camps, and death camps were able to survive. Many of these survivors have graced the academic and public world with a written account of their experiences as prisoners of the Nazis.

INTRODUCTION The main test for the dispute between legal positivists and natural law theorists1 has been the existence of wicked legal systems—first and foremost, the striking case of the Nazi legal system. In Anglo-American legal theory the issue of Nazi law has to a large extent been seen in light of the exchange between HLA Hart and Lon L Fuller * Research for this paper was funded by the ERC Advanced Research Grant ‘Distortions of Normativ- ity’. I owe thanks to several colleagues for their interest in the project and their most valuable feedback. For extensive discussions on the case of the SS judge Konrad Morgen and helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper I would like to thank J David Velleman, who also provided the archive material from the US National Archives. Thanks also to Joan C Tronto for comments on an earlier draft of this paper. Parts of this paper were presented at a conference on ‘Authority, Legality, and Legitimacy’ funded by the ERC project ‘Distortions of Normativity’ at the University of Vienna in May 2011. I would like to thank the participants of this conference, especially Julian Fink, Klaus Günther, Thomas Mertens, Liam Murphy, Fabienne Peter, Joseph Raz and Kristen Rundle for help- ful responses and discussion. I also thank David Dyzenhaus, Veli Mitova, Carolyn Benson, Alexandra Couto and Christoph Hanisch for valuable discussions on the issue of Nazi law.

  • Genesi E Funzioni Del Campo Di Birkenau
    AAARGH Giugno 2008 Carlo Mattogno Genesi e funzioni del campo di Birkenau Robert Jan van Pelt è stato uno dei primi scrittori ad avere accennato all'importanza di Auschwitz nei progetti delle SS di colonizzazione dei territori orientali occupati. Nel libro da lui scritto in collaborazione con Debórah Dwork egli ha affermato che «la creazione del campo di Birkenau, che dalla fine del 1942 era diventato il maggiore centro di annientamento ebraico d'Europa, era collegata direttamente al programma di Himmler di trasformare Auschwitz in un paradigma di colonizzazione tedesca all'Est»1. Successivamente van Pelt ha cercato di sviluppare questa tesi in riferimento soprattutto all'Alta Slesia 2, ma ulteriori ricerche hanno poi documentato che questo paradigma era parte di un progetto molto più vasto, il “Generalplan Ost”, il “progetto generale Est”, che coinvolse i campi di Birkenau, di Lublino e di Stutthof come semplici centri di raccolta di manodopera, prima di prigionieri di guerra sovietici, poi di Ebrei. Questa nuova interpretazione è stata sostenuta in particolare da Jan Erik Schulte, autore di un importante articolo intitolato «Vom Arbeits- zum Vernichtungslager. Die Entstehungsgeschichte von Auschwitz-Birkenau 1941/42» (Dal campo di lavoro al campo di sterminio. Storia della genesi di Auschwitz- Birkenau 1941-1942)3 che delinea appunto la storia iniziale del campo di Birkenau, inquadrandola nel “Generalplan Ost”. Ne riassumo i punti essenziali, inserendoli in una prospettiva più ampia. Nelle cosiddette annotazioni di Cracovia, Rudolf Höss, il primo comandante di Auschwitz, scrisse: 1 D. Dwork, R.

  • Destruction and Human Remains
    Destruction and human remains HUMAN REMAINS AND VIOLENCE Destruction and human remains Destruction and Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass violence and human remains genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute Disposal and concealment in the end of the executors’ work. Their victims’ remains are often treated genocide and mass violence and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering with often remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based Edited by ÉLISABETH ANSTETT on extensive primary and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts have been committed through recent history. and JEAN-MARC DREYFUS The book opens this line of enquiry by investigating the ideological, technical and practical motivations for the varying practices pursued by the perpetrator, examining a diverse range of historical events from throughout the twentieth century and across the globe. These nine original chapters explore this demolition of the body through the use of often systemic, bureaucratic and industrial processes, whether by disposal, concealment, exhibition or complete bodily annihilation, to display the intentions and socio-political frameworks of governments, perpetrators and bystanders. A NST Never before has a single publication brought together the extensive amount of work devoted to the human body on the one hand and to E mass violence on the other, and until now the question of the body in TTand the context of mass violence has remained a largely unexplored area.
