Theos-Talk Archives (February 2006 Message tt00241)

Perhaps we might get a clearer picture of the real truth behind this ongoing 
controversy between Neo Nazi apologists and those taking an opposite view of 
WW2 and the Nazi initiated and executed Holocaust by reading the article about 
my experiences at that time published in the June 2005 issue of Theosophy 
World.

It might also help to read about the history of the Holocaust at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

As an added note, some of the hundreds of pictures taken by front line 
Russian and American soldiers of Nazi atrocities -- that I smuggled out of Europe 
after the war -- depicted rows of open crematory ovens in several concentration 
camps (including Auschwitz-Birkenau and Ravensbruck) with burned human bodies 
still inside them... Outside of which were wagons piled high with hundreds of 
naked dead bodies of gassed inmates just out of the showers awaiting their 
turn.   Nearby, were half full open pits the Nazi SS guards, overwhelmed by the 
slow burning ovens, were using as mass graves to bury and burn the surplus 
bodies awaiting cremation -- caught in the act just as the camp was surprised and 
overrun by the leading forces of the rapidly advancing Russian Army.   

In one group of photos, taken at Auschwitz presumedly, judging from the 
postwar pictures of that camp, I estimated there were more than 1,000 bodies 
visible (not counting those already in the pits, some of which were hundreds of 
yards in length, over 12 feet wide, and God knows how deep).   Also visible were 
barrels of gasoline, apparently used as fire accelerants in the open pits.   If 
this was an example of the number of bodies the Germans had to deal with each 
day, considering how long this and other extermination camps were in 
operation, it's a wonder that the historically accepted estimated Holocaust body count 
is as low as it is.   

So much for the statement, " ... the Holocaust (not burning, but gassing) in
Auschwitz is a dirty lie" ... and other rantings of Neo Nazi, Holocaust 
denying propagandists of hate.

So, let's end this controversy once and for all, at least on this forum ...   
And, instead of arguing about the past that's dead and gone and can't be 
changed -- let's get back to discussing Theosophy and its practical relationship 
to the future of the world we live in -- that is rapidly falling apart around 
us.   How else can we fulfill the objects of the Theosophical Movement -- and 
hold it steady for the coming sixers to put it back on the right track?   If it 
isn't us, who else is going to do it?   Certainly not those still carrying 
around ethnic, racial, religious or other prejudices and hatreds in their 
hearts. </:-/>

Best wishes, and with hope for the future,
