upcoming Holocaust Handbooks

[Werd]

Here is the caveat for the 2020 edition of Sobibor:

CAVEAT:
The first edition of the present book appeared in 2010. 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 Reinhardt”: An Analysis and Refutation of Factitious “Evidence,” Deceptions and Flawed Argumentation of the “Holocaust Controversies” Bloggers, and authored by Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf and Thomas Kues. It deals with all three “Aktion Reinhardt” camps (Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka). Readers interested 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 presented in that voluminous study were not included in the present revised edition. However, we have included a research update of May 2018 as a Supplement in Chapter 13 starting on page 401.

Holocaust Handbooks Expand to 48 Volumes

We are proud to announce that our series Holocaust Handbooks has a new member coming around the curve: Rudolf Reder versus Kurt Gerstein: Two False Testimonies on the Bełżec Camp Analyzed. This is Volume 43 of the series. We started translating this only after the Italian version of that book had been published. (Because we learn from past mistakes!) It is in the final stages of author review, will go to our copy editor next, and should cross the finish line in early 2021 at the latest.

Furthermore, we have now defined five more volumes of this series, all in various stages of completion by the indefatigable Carlo Mattogno, bringing us unbelievably close to the goal of 50 volumes in total:


Vol. 44: Sonderkommando Auschwitz I: Nine Eyewitness Testimonies Analyzed: To this day, the 1979 book Auschwitz Inferno by former Auschwitz inmate and alleged Sonderkommando member Filip Müller has a great influence both on the public perception of Auschwitz and on historians trying to probe this camp’s history. This book critically analyzes Müller’s various post-war writings, which are full of exaggerations, falsehoods and plagiarized text passages. The author also scrutinizes the testimonies of eight other former Sonderkommando members with similarly lacking penchants for exactitude and truth: Dov Paisikovic, Stanisław Jankowski, Henryk Mandelbaum, Ludwik Nagraba, Joshuah Rosenblum, Aaron Pilo, David Fliamenbaum and Samij Karolinskij. We are already translating this one.

Vol. 45: Sonderkommando Auschwitz II: The False Testimonies by Henryk Tauber and Szlama Dragon: These two witnesses are held in high esteem among the orthodoxy for their tales about Auschwitz: Tauber on Crema II and Dragon on the “bunkers.” This study dispels the notion that these witnesses’ tales are worth any more than the paper they are written on. We are waiting for the final Italian version.

Vol. 46: Mis-Chronicling Auschwitz: Danuta Czech’s Flawed Methods, Misrepresentations and Deception in Her Auschwitz Chronicle: Danuta Czech’s voluminous book Auschwitz Chronicle is considered the most-important reference book for the historiography of the Auschwitz Camp. After decades of using it, Mattogno has compiled a long list of misrepresentations of source material and outright lies and deceptions that need to be exposed. This mega-fraud of a book needs to be retired from the ample ranks of Auschwitz’s sources. We are waiting for the final Italian version.

Vol. 47: The “Aktion Reinhardt” Camps Bełżec, Sobibór, Treblinka: Black Propaganda, Archeological Research, Material Evidence: The existing three books of the present series on each camp are all outdated, but updating them would lead to much overlap. Hence a new book with all the new insights. We are waiting for the final Italian version.

Vol. 48: The Dachau Concentration Camp: Dachau is one of the most-notorious Third-Reich camps. It’s about time revisionists gave it their full attention. Carlo just started researching this one.

Maybe we should rename Castle Hill Publishers (CHP) into Carlo Mattogno Publishers (CMP)? If anyone doesn’t like the idea – of Carlo dominating the series, that is (we won’t rename CHP) – then feel free to submit your own book project expanding the series! Monographs on Altreich camps are very much appreciated, such as Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen etc.

Please support our efforts in getting these studies translated and published by either volunteering as a translator, if you have the skills and some spare time, or/and considering a donation to any or all of the above projects as posted on CODOH's project-crowd-funding page.

AND FINALLY, AFTER A FEW YEARS OF DELAY, IT IS HERE!

The Making of the Auschwitz Myth

In early 2018, Carlo Mattogno sent us the “final” Italian version of his book The Making of the Auschwitz Myth for translation. Or rather, he sent us two books, as he had decided to split this project into two separate books. We decided to keep it together as one book, however, because we already had announced it as such. We subsequently contracted with Carlos Porter to have it translated into English. When Mr. Porter was almost done with his translation, Mr. Mattogno sent us two new files for this book with “some revisions.” A comparison of the files submitted revealed that he had completely rewritten the first part of this book (ca. 100 pages), which he had detached from the original project and defined as a separate project. The changes were so far-reaching that our translation could not be fixed. We had to start over. A comparison of the other parts of the project revealed that there were some significant changes throughout these 350 pages of text as well, requiring a paragraph-by-paragraph comparison of this entire section in order to identify any changes requiring a rewrite of the translation we already had. Needless to say, we were not pleased… The project got shelved, as other, less-frustrating projects had priority.

This past September, we dusted off this project, requested the files of the published version of this book from Mr. Mattogno (sure enough, there were more changes.…), and started the laborious process of bringing our outdated translation up to the latest and final version of this book.

Finally, it’s done! We apologize for the heavy delay of this project, which initially was slated to appear in late 2018/early 2019. It simply wasn’t meant to be. And here is the gist of it:

C. Mattogno: The Making of the Auschwitz Myth: Auschwitz in British Intercepts, Polish Underground Reports and Postwar Testimonies (1941-1947). On the Genesis and Development of the Gas-Chamber Lore.

The orthodox narrative of what transpired at the infamous Auschwitz Concentration/Labor Camp during the Second World War congealed into its current version in the environs of the Great Auschwitz Trial staged at Frankfurt, Germany, during the mid-1960s. But how exactly did we get there?

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the occupation of Auschwitz by the Red Army in January 1945, Carlo Mattogno wrote an article titled “Auschwitz: 60 Years of Propaganda,” which investigated the early history of claims made about Auschwitz. The present study greatly expands on this theme.

It starts out by analyzing radio messages sent by the SS from Auschwitz to their Berlin headquarters between early 1942 and early 1943. Many of these messages were intercepted and decrypted by the British, giving them a fairly accurate picture of what was going on at Auschwitz. Spoiler alert: the biggest drama unfolding there was a raging typhus epidemic.

Next, Mattogno juxtaposes to these SS messages the missives sent by the Polish underground to their government-in-exile in London, which painted a radically different image contradicting subsequently established facts and even at times themselves.

The largest section of this study analyzes the statements of more than fifty witnesses, most of them made during the war and in the immediate postwar period. The focus is on those passages in their statements that contain claims about mass murder by means of gas chambers. The bottom line of this review is that none of the early witnesses reviewed here fully confirms the current orthodox narrative. Instead, their stories are rife with propaganda absurdities and fantastic rumors.

The fourth section of this study analyzes the flawed early attempts by historians to write a consistent history of the Auschwitz Camp, while the last section demonstrates how modern historians twist the record in order to sustain the fiction that the orthodoxy’s fake version of the facts about Auschwitz is somehow “well-documented.

Rudolf Reder versus Kurt Gerstein
Two False Testimonies on the Bełżec Camp Analyzed

By Carlo Mattogno

Only two witnesses have ever testified substantially about the alleged Bełżec Extermination Camp: The survivor Rudolf Reder and the SS officer Kurt Gerstein. For 40 years, Gerstein’s testimonies were the main source of Western mainstream historiography in their attempt to reconstruct what transpired at the infamous Bełżec Camp, where Gerstein said millions of Polish Jews were murdered with Diesel-engine exhaust gases in 1942.

Critical, revisionist voices were raised about Gerstein’s statements early on, spearheaded by a passing remark by Paul Rassinier in his 1961 book Ulysse trahi par les siens (Odysseus Betrayed by His Own), followed by a critical analysis of Gerstein’s claims in his 1964 book Le drame des juifs européens (The Drama of the European Jews), and culminating in the 1985 doctoral dissertation on The Confessions of Kurt Gerstein by French historian Henri Roque. As a result, Gerstein’s testimonies are now discredited even among mainstream historians. One of them classified Gerstein’s account as “a questionable source, and in some respects, it must even be classified as a fantasy.”

In contrast to Western historians, Polish scholars focused on the testimonies of former Bełżec inmate Rudolf Reder early on. After Gerstein had been discredited, Western historians started using Reder’s various depositions to fill the narrative void created by Gerstein’s ignoble removal from the Holocaustian Hall of Fame.

In the first part, the present study presents all of Reder’s various statements in an English translation, then subjects them to critical scrutiny in the second part, demonstrating that they also are “a questionable source” that “must even be classified as a fantasy.” After summarizing and explaining the many absurdities of Gerstein’s claims in Part 3, the author juxtaposes both testimonies, which are for the most part utterly incommensurate.

Just a heads up for those reading in the US: Although its release hasn't been announced on the Holocaust Handbooks website & hasn't been added to the CODOH store, "Auschwitz: Deliveries of Coke, Wood and Zyklon B—Neither Proof Nor Trace for the Holocaust." is readily available for purchase via the Target website, having been released on May 3rd. Hopefully the pdf is due to come out soon.

Sonderkommando Auschwitz I
Nine Eyewitness Testimonies Analyzed

By Carlo Mattogno



To this day, the 1979 book Auschwitz Inferno: The Testimony of a Sonderkommando by former Auschwitz inmate and putative Sonderkommando member Filip Müller, who claims to have worked in the gas chambers of Auschwitz for three years, has a great influence both on the popular perception of Auschwitz and on historians probing or purporting to probe this camp’s history. The late Raul Hilberg, for instance, one of the most-influential mainstream Holocaust scholars, called Müller "a remarkable, accurate, reliable person."

The first half of the present book critically analyzes Müller’s various post-war writings and testimonies, starting with a brief essay he wrote just after the war, then his testimony during the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial in 1964, the interviews he gave Claude Lanzmann for his epic 1985 documentary Shoah, and of course his 1979 book, which was to an unknown degree ghostwritten by one Helmut Freitag. A thorough analysis and comparison of these texts reveals that Müller's memory seems to have improved with the decades rather than faded. His later stories have him involved everywhere in Auschwitz where the mainstream narrative reported there was some dramatic action. But a closer look at what Müller (or Freitag) wrote reveals that they pilfered it from other writers, complete with historical mistakes and physical nonsense. One of Müller's main sources of such plagiarism was a book by Hungarian physician and proven impostor Miklós Nyiszli, but he also stole from the tales of the well-known false witnesses Kurt Gerstein and Rudolf Höss.

The second part of the present book analyzes the accounts of eight more witnesses who claim to have been members of the Auschwitz Sonderkommando: Dov Paisikovic, Stanisław Jankowski, Henryk Mandelbaum, Ludwik Nagraba, Joshuah Rosenblum, Aaron Pilo, David Fliamenbaum and Samij Karolinskij. The first three among them made substantial depositions which are often cited in Holocaust literature on Auschwitz, whereas the other five are less-well-known. A common feature of all of their accounts is that they follow a narrative developed after the war by the Soviet propaganda units which occupied Auschwitz after the German retreat. Large parts of that narrative are today considered wrong or at least exaggerated even by mainstream scholars. So how come these witnesses told the same overarching ideological lies in impressive concert, while they diverged on many concrete specifics on which they should have agreed, if their tales concerned actual events or conditions they all experienced in the same places and times? Find the answers in this revealing study!

Deliveries of Coke, Wood and Zyklon B to Auschwitz
Neither Proof Nor Trace for the Holocaust

By Carlo Mattogno

In order to prove that mass exterminations in gas chambers occurred at the infamous Auschwitz Camp, mainstream historians must rely almost exclusively on eyewitness accounts. They also adduce a few documents with ambiguous contents which they take out of their historical and documental context in order to impute a homicidal meaning to them which they don’t have.

After revisionist scholars pointed out this fact, and also established the highly dubious nature of these witness accounts in numerous studies, a researcher from the Polish Auschwitz Museum, Piotr Setkiewicz, tried a different approach to prove the raison d’être of his employer: In a lengthy paper, he points to documents about deliveries of firewood and coke as well as the pesticide Zyklon B to the Auschwitz Camp. The deliveries and consumption of wood and coke allegedly can be explained only by massive cremation figures compatible only with a large-scale killing program. But to come to this conclusion, ridiculously low average amounts of coke required for the cremation of a corpse in a cremation furnace have to be assumed, and even lower average amounts of wood for the burning of corpses on outdoor pyres. Neither of these amounts is even remotely physically possible. Furthermore, one has to ignore the fact that the wood and coke supplied to the camp also was used to heat hundreds of inmate housing units, in addition to camp administration buildings and SS accommodations, and also to fire the many kitchen stoves and the boiler units in various disinfestation and shower facilities.

The supplies of the pest-control agent Zyklon B presumably point to homicidal activities as well, if we are to believe Setkiewicz. But when considering the total amount of inmate barracks in frequent need of pest control, and the various disinfestation facilities constantly consuming this product to fight lice and fleas in garments and bedclothes, nothing is left for the claim that there is anything sinister about the quantities of Zyklon B the Auschwitz Camp received.

As the present study shows, if realistic amounts of coke and wood needed for recorded (non-homicidal) cremation purposes are assumed, and considering the camp’s need for pest-control agents to fight the various epidemics which ravaged the camp throughout ist history, the documented supplies of coke, wood and Zyklon B actually prove the opposite of what Setkiewicz claims: Not only is there neither trace nor proof for mass murder contained in them, but they actually prove that the mass-extermination and mass-cremation claims cannot be true.

Bungled: “The Destruction of the European Jews”
Raul Hilberg’s Failure to Prove National-Socialist “Killing Centers.” His Misrepresented Sources and Flawed Methods

By Carlo Mattogno

What is the best way to demonstrate that the orthodox narrative about the “extermination of the European Jews by the Nazis” during World War II is fundamentally wrong? We think the best way is to take what the orthodoxy thinks is “arguably the single most-important book about the Holocaust” (Prof. Gutman, Hebrew University, Jerusalem), written by the most-renowned mainstream expert on the topic, and show paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentence, even word by word, that this specialist got most of it fundamentally wrong.

This mainstream expert is the late Prof. Dr. Raul Hilberg, and the book in our sights is his three-volume work The Destruction of the European Jews, which most consider the gold standard of mainstream Holocaust writings. When it comes to documenting the National-Socialist persecution of Jews, this work certainly does a formidable job. But when it comes to proving that the Nazis planned and carried out a policy of systematic mass annihilation, Hilberg’s opus magnum proves highly deficient.

The present study demonstrates that, when it comes to the Nazis’ alleged planning of the “Holocaust”, Hilberg systematically misrepresents what the documents say about it by ignoring crucial documents, by ripping documents out of their historical context and thus distorting their meaning, and even by outright lying about their contents.

When it comes to substantiating his claims about the actual implementation of the alleged mass murder, Hilberg resorts to even-more-devious methods: he ignores reams of documents and relies almost exclusively on witness testimony, but with a highly mendacious approach: He cherry-picks only those witnesses who fit his preconceived notion, then picks out only those parts of their testimony that support his assertions, while systematically hiding from his readers that all of these testimonies contradict each other on essential points, conflict with the documented historical record, and are riddled with absurdities, anachronisms as well as historical and technical impossibilities. Hilberg moreover states his “judgment” that, if just one witness makes any kind of claim that fits his agenda, it must be true, and if several witnesses make the same claim, it must be even more true. Using the same logic, witches ride on broomsticks through the air and have sex with the devil, because thousands of witnesses have said so.

Apart from these blatantly unscholarly methods, the most-shocking revelation of the present study is that Hilberg never bothered going ad fontes: He categorically refused to ever investigate any of the claimed crime locations, and never set foot into any archive at these locations, let alone try to study their contents.

Why did anyone ever take this imbecilic imposter seriously? Mainstream scholars do, perhaps because they all employ markedly similar methods.

This is now the new Volume 28 in the Holocaust Handbooks series. In the introduction, Germar Rudolf explains that the previous volume 28, "The Extermination Camps of Aktion Reinhardt", now removed from the holocausthandbooks website, was a very large response to the 2011 white paper published by the holocaust controversies team. Rudolf more than once calls this 1100+ page opus a "doorstop." He also says it didn't sell very well. TECOAR sought a full on, streamroller method of refutation of another source, and didn't actually work like other books in the HH series to build from the ground up, it's own theory about the direct nature of the camps. These things make it inaccessible and even not interesting to most people. TECOAR will be updated some time in the future and will stand on its own, separate from the HH series. Not to worry, this new Volume 28 incorporates newer findings about Treblinka and Sobibor that were finished LONG AFTER TECOAR was published in 2013. Hence, the need for this new volume. Also, more interesting sources that mainstream historians are ignorant of or simply don't want to touch have come forward, such as even more ridiculous atrocity propaganda that Mattogno DIDN'T mention in his first Belzec book for example. - Werd

The "Operation Reinhardt" Camps Treblinka, Sobibór, Belzec
Black Propaganda, Archeological Research, Expected Material Evidence

By Carlo Mattogno

https://shop.codoh.com/book/operation-r ... lzec/1023/

As an update and upgrade to the monographs written about the alleged National-Socialist extermination camps Treblinka, Sobibór and Bełżec (Volumes 8, 9 and 19 of the Holocaust Handbooks), this study contains all the essential information about all three camps, and presents as well as scrutinizes much new information.

The first part of this study quotes and discusses numerous witness testimonies recorded during World War II and its aftermath, thus demonstrating how the myth of the “extermination camps” was created. Particularly the chapters about Sobibór and Treblinka contain numerous early witness testimonies about the claimed extermination activities of the Reinhardt Camps, many of which have never yet been quoted, let alone discussed, in earlier revisionist works on this topic.

The second part of this book acquaints the reader with the various archeological efforts made by mainstream scholars in their attempt to figure out what exactly happened at those camps – or rather, their attempt to prove that the extermination myth based on wartime and post-war testimonies is true.

The third part compares the findings of the second part with what we ought to expect, and reveals the chasm that exists between archeologically proven facts and mythological requirements.

I hope the volumes removed from the HH series are still kept available elsewhere. Graf's Giant with Feet of Clay is a classic, for example. And Extermination Camps of AR records the state of debate in the mid-2010s, as well as being a response to the HC bloggers.

It's curious to me that they saw the need to replace Graf's effort on Hilberg. Also interesting that they released it as part of the "Bungled" series. None of the other Bungled books are in the Holocaust Handbooks series I don't believe. As I remember, Germar said they came out with those so they'd come up on Amazon in the suggestions when people searched for Lipstadt or Shermer. Back when they could still sell on Amazon ...

That book responding to the HC bloggers is okay as a reference to look up a specific point but it's not very readable as a book. I can see why they might not want it in the HH series.
