Se defiende que el único sentido posible de la persecución fue cultural y, específicamente, moral. La reeducación y/o rehabilitación social de los judíos fue considerada imposible desde los inicios del régimen y del sistema de campos de concentración, juzgándose necesario establecer centros de exterminio ad hoc, los cuales, a pesar de su eficacia asesina, fracasaron en el deseo del régimen de proceder con la debida Anständigkeit y fueron por tanto sustituidos por el sistema de Auschwitz.

  • Treblinka Camp, Located in Eastern Poland, Between the Summers of 1942 and 1943
    CCarloarlo MMattogno,attogno, JJürgenürgen GGrafraf Holocaust survivors report that at least 700,000, if not as many as three million people primarily of Jewish faith were murdered in the Treblinka camp, located in eastern Poland, between the summers of 1942 and 1943. Various murder weapons are claimed to have been used: mobile or stationary gas chambers; poison gas with delayed or immediate effect; unslaked lime; hot steam; high voltage; machine guns; vacuum chambers; chlorine Camp? Transit or gas; Zyklon B; diesel exhaust gas. According to the witnesses, Extermination Camp TTreblinkareblinka the corpses of the victims were fi nally incinerated on pyres as high as a multi-story building without leaving any traces. • EExterminationxtermination CampCamp In the fi rst part of this book, the offi cial image portrait of Treblinka is subjected to a thorough critique regarding its oorr TTransitransit CCamp?amp? historical genesis, inner logic, and technical feasibility. The result of this analysis is essentially that the historical picture, which is prescribed by penal law in many European countries, is untenable, because it is nothing more than an uninterrupted chain of absurdities. In the second part of this book, the authors attempt to deter- mine the real function of the Treblinka camp with the help of witness statements, documents, and forensic fi ndings. Through their analysis, they conclude that Treblinka was a transit camp, through which Jews from Warsaw and other areas were led on their way either to occupied Soviet territories in the east or to Treblinka the Majdanek camp and other labor camps in the area south of Treblinka.

  • Camp D'extermination De Treblinka
    Camp d'extermination de Treblinka Le camp d'extermination de Treblinka est l'un des camps d'extermination nazis de l’Aktion Reinhard, situé à proximité du village Camp polonais du même nom, à quatre-vingts kilomètres au nord-est de Varsovie, non loin de la ville de Malkinia. d'extermination de Un des symboles de la Shoah à partir de l'occupation allemande, le site de Treblinka voit d'abord en 1941 l'ouverture d'un camp de travail Treblinka 1 pour les prisonniers polonais ayant porté atteinte aux troupes d’occupation (Treblinka I) . Un peu moins d’un an plus tard, le camp d’extermination (Treblinka II) est créé à deux kilomètres du premier. Construit sur le modèle des camps de Sobibor et Bełżec, ce camp d’extermination a l'apparence d'une gare de transit où les Juifs devaient se présenter à la désinfection avant de repartir pour un hypothétique camp de travail. Cependant, sous la direction du premier commandant, Irmfried Eberl, la capacité des chambres à gaz est rapidement dépassée et la véritable nature du camp devient apparente dès son approche. La réorganisation du camp est confiée à Franz Stangl, ancien commandant de Sobibor, et les déportés, issus pour la plupart du ghetto de Varsovie, sont menés aux chambres à gaz avec une grande brutalité administrée par les SS et leurs auxiliaires, les Trawnikis. Après une révolte des détenus en 1943, suivie de leur évasion, le camp de Treblinka est démantelé sous la direction de Kurt Franz, puis « camouflé » en ferme. Au cours de sa période d’activité, entre sept cent mille et plus d'un million de déportés, pour la plupart juifs, y ont été exterminés : ceci fait de Treblinka le plus important centre d’extermination après celui d'Auschwitz.

  • Kiel Lidia Zamenhof Pereis En Treblinka
    Kiel Lidia Zamenhof pereis en Treblinka Historiografia-beletra fantaziaĵo en 20 scenoj bazita sur realaj okazintaĵoj Teksto originale verkita en Esperanto surbaze de la memuara literaturo kaj publikigita okaze de la 70a datreveno de la liberigo de la NS-koncentrejoj en Eŭropo Memore pri Zofia Banet-Fornalowa, Jerzy Fornal, Josef Ŝemer kaj Robert Kuwałek 1 Per bildoj ilustrita versio povas esti mendita por privata uzo ĉe [email protected]. Mit Bildern illustrierte Version kann zum privaten Gebrauch bei [email protected] bestellt werden. La celoj de la rakonto estas sentigi ĉe la legantoj maksimumajn hororon, naŭzon kaj abomenon kaj eviti la ignoradon de la judeco kaj la prisilentadon de la holokaŭsto fare de la Esperanto-historiografio (Atenton: la teksto ne taŭgas por infanoj kaj homoj kun malfortaj nervoj) Enkonduko: „Solvo de la juda demando“ kaj „Operaco Reinhard(t)“ Kiel konate, la 30an de januaro 1939 en la germana Regna parlamento (nomata Reiĥtago) kanceliero Adolf Hitler elpuŝis la minacon, ke „la juda raso en Eŭropo estos detruita, se la internacia financjudaro en kaj ekster Eŭropo sukcesos ankoraŭfoje ĵeti la popolojn en militon“. La nazioj komprenis tiun minacon kiel ordonon por persekuti kaj elimini la judojn de Eŭropo. Intertempe, tio jam okazis en Germanio, Aŭstrio kaj Ĉeĥoslovakio. La milito kontraŭ Pollando komenciĝis la 1an de septembro 1939, kaj la 24an de junio 1941 la germana armeo atakis Sovetunion. En ĉiuj kazoj inter la unuaj celoj de la persekuto kaj detruo estis la judoj, kaj komunistoj. La 31an de julio 1941 Hermann Göring taskis la estron de RSHA, Reinhard Heydrich, ellabori „ĝeneralan projekton“ rilate al „kostoj, organizado kaj realigado de la fina solvo de la juda demando“.

  • Treblinka: Extermination Camp Or Transit Camp?
    Treblinka Extermination Camp or Transit Camp? CAVEAT: The first two editions of the present book appeared in 2004 and 2005. Since that time, the authors have found a wealth of additional documents and testimonies. Most of them are discussed in the two-volume, 1396-page study of 2013 titled The “Extermination Camps” of “Aktion Rein- hardt”: An Analysis and Refutation of Factitious “Evidence,” Deceptions and Flawed Argumentation of the “Holocaust Controversies” Bloggers, and au- thored by Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf and Thomas Kues. It deals with all three “Aktion Reinhardt” camps (Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka). Readers in- terested in a more-thorough study of the present topic are advised to also consult this study, which can be downloaded as a PDF file free of charge at www.HolocaustHandbooks.com (Volume 28). Most of the new insights pre- sented in that voluminous study were not included in the present slightly ex- panded edition. However, we have included an update on “Modern Forensics at Treblinka” starting on page 311. Castle Hill Publishers Treblinka Extermination Camp or Transit Camp?
