Belzec Mass Graves and Archaeology: My Response to Carlo Mattogno (4,1)

(1) - Introduction and 1. Nature and Purpose of Kola’s Archaeological Investigation

(2) 2. Location and Form of the Mass Graves

(3) 3. Corpses Found


4. Volume of the Mass Graves, Human and Wood Ashes

4.1 The Capacity of the Graves[74]


In section 4.1 of the original blog[75], I demonstrated that, contrary to what Mattogno had claimed in his book[76], there are weighty reasons speaking against the assumption that the volume of the mass graves existing at Belzec was not sufficient to take in the corpses of the ca. 434,000 Jewish deportees mentioned in the report sent by SS-Sturmbannführer Höfle in Lublin on 11 January 1943 to Obersturmbannführer Heim in Krakow[77] (hereinafter the "Höfle report") as having been delivered at Belzec until the end of 1942.

Freudian Cartoon Time

The anonymous 'artist' who produced this cartoon, which appeared on CODOH here, and whose possible identity is discussed here, presumably meant to cause offence, but my reaction is that it is hilarious. It captures the paranoid denier mindset perfectly.

"Hatred Begets Hatred"

Those words were typed by Richard A. Widmann, when he reproduced this article by Paul Grubach following the USHMM shooting. However, Widmann and Grubach somehow failed to see how the words reflected on Revisionism. Several deniers are undoubtedly haters of Jews. Berg, Gerdes and Hargis certainly fall into that category. Theirs is the land of the ad hominem. In contrast, we at HC do not hate deniers: we pity them for their delusions. We certainly hate their racist ideology, Nazi sympathies, and their dishonest methods, but we have no desire to portray deniers themselves as a poisonous ethnic group. Mr Widmann and Mr Grubach need to heed this lesson, or they will probably find themselves having to write future articles distancing Revisionism from more acts of violence by their bedfellows.

Von Brunn Email Appeared on CODOH

In 2004, CODOH reproduced an inflammatory email entitled "Time to FLUSH all "Holocaust" Memorials," written by none other than future USHMM gunman, James von Brunn. Jonnie Hargis replied approvingly to the hateful spam in his next post. The thread has been preserved here and the email has also been preserved here. Note especially that Hargis had no problem with von Brunn being described as a Revisionist in the thread header. It appears that there are few ideological prohibitions - on the right - as to who can be a Revisionist. Rabid antisemitism is certainly not discouraged.

Liepaja (Part 2)

Further to my Part 1, Yad Vashem has footage of Liepaja shootings on this site. This was filmed by Reinhard Wiener, whose 1981 interview can be found on the same webpage. Wiener's role and the provenance of the film are discussed here and here. The film was entered into evidence at the Rosenstock trial, which is discussed here.

Belzec Mass Graves and Archaeology: My Response to Carlo Mattogno (3)

(1) - Introduction and 1. Nature and Purpose of Kola’s Archaeological Investigation

(2) 2. Location and Form of the Mass Graves

3. Corpses Found[38]

In responding to the blog that is Part 3 of my original article[39], Mattogno starts out misrepresenting the meaning of my introductory statement: "Mattogno seems to be especially happy that the number of unburned corpses still lying in the Belzec mass graves is, in his opinion, very low.".
