More «Evidence for the Presence of "Gassed" Jews in the Occupied Eastern Territories» (1)

Part 2


Few "Revisionist" filth merchants invest as much work into their propagandistic falsehoods as Thomas Kues (TK). In his obsessive endeavor to provide «Evidence for the Presence of "Gassed" Jews in the Occupied Eastern Territories», the new "Revisionist" coryphée has produced two articles[1] with a total of more than 42,000 words including footnotes, the "To be continued" at the end of the second article suggesting that there will be at least one further installment.

Human Remains Seen By American Journalists at Klooga and Babi Yar

On October 6th, 1944, the New York Times published this report from Klooga that had been filed by W.H. Lawrence four days earlier. The report began:
KLOOGA, Estonia, Oct. 2 (Delayed) Foreign correspondents were shown today the scene of the German executions on Sept. 19 - an act that demonstrated most conclusively that the Germans are in full scale retreat and are capable of cold- blooded slaughter even when it will serve little, if any, military purpose.

Kues on Gustav Wagner (Revised and Updated)

Sobibor perpetrator Gustav Wagner was arrested in Brazil in May 1978 and committed suicide in October 1980. Thomas Kues claims his death was suspicious. Here are the facts. On June 1st, 1978, the Associated Press reported:
SAO PAULO, Brazil, June 1 (AP)--West Germany and Austria have requested extradition from Brazil of a Nazi deathcamp officer who says he knew what was going on at the camp but "only obeyed orders."
The New York Times of June 11th, 1978, which can be read in full here, gave a longer version of Wagner's quote:
I knew what happened there but I never went to see - I only obeyed orders. You would not want to see what they did there either.
This quote was repeated in reports of Wagner's death (Associated Press, 4th October, 1980) and on pp.313-14 of Richard Rashke’s “Escape To Sobibor”.

Thomas Kues: Mass Grave in Latvia

Revisionist fans of Thomas Kues will be distressed to learn that he has acknowledged the existence of a Jewish mass grave in Latvia. In this article he cites the following from Bernhard Press, The Holocaust in Latvia, p.159, describing a mass grave found by M. Morein in 1946:
(…) while looking for the corpses of his parents in 1946 near the village of Kukas near Krustpils, [Morein] discovered in a mass grave corpses whose clothes bore French labels

Thomas Kues and Isak Grünberg

Isak Grünberg arrived in Maly Trostinets from Vienna on 9th-10th October, 1942. He and his wife were selected for labour, but Grünberg testifies here that his wife was subjected to a later selection and killed. Grünberg also describes selections followed by shootings. Grünberg is therefore clearly a witness to extermination, so any denier would have to be stupid and/or dishonest to use his testimony to support 'resettlement', yet this is precisely what Kues does here. What tricks does Kues perform in this process?

Kues' Dishonesty About Kruk

Thomas Kues cites this diary entry by Kruk concerning Minsk:
In the Minsk Ghetto, 3,000 - 4,000 Jews now live. Next to the ghetto is another ghetto. In the first ghetto are Russian Jews from Minsk, Slutsk, Baranovitsh, etc. In the second, there are altogether 1,500 German and Czech Jews.
Kues claims that "Kruk knew this information from two individuals who had recently been to Minsk." However, Kruk (p.570) writes of these two individuals that:
Both leave and come back with...nothing. In Minsk they were not allowed into the ghetto and first of all they were told they were not permitted to talk to anyone.
Kruk's report of their 'findings' is clearly presented in this context, which Kues omits. Kues does not tell his readers that the visit was done under Gestapo supervision. Given that Kues is willing to resort to such obvious and deliberate deceit, where does this leave his reputation?

We have one more contributor

I'm pleased to present a new contributor to this blog site, who will be writing as Dmitry Holcon.

Dmitry was invited on account of his recent posting on the RODOH forum (see the threads The Vergasungskeller Document, The Rudolf Report, Gas chambers in Auschwitz and Gas Mass Executions the Right Way versus the Wrong Way given by Dmitry, among others). I'm glad he accepted the invitation.

Welcome, Dmitry!

Inconvenient History's Joe Bishop Wants to Kill Jews

It is a self-evident truth that writers and ideologues often use looser language within a private setting than they would in public. For revisionist Joe Bishop, this looser language involved endorsing a call to kill all Jews, including children.

Joe Bishop's 'Inconvenient' Review

As a contributor to all but one of CODOH’s Inconvenient History volumes, Joseph Bishop has taken on a prominent role with the new revisionist journal, having only been out produced by Editor Richard Widmann and heavy contributor Thomas Kues. Readers might remember Bishop from his abysmal treatment of the shootings of Soviet Jews, succinctly responded to on this blog. While Bishop never made any response to the criticisms despite being made aware of them, we can detect his aversion of the open-air shootings topic in his recent book review of John Mosier’s Deathride.

In this blog, the details and evidence for Mosier’s revisionist-oriented argument regarding the Eastern front in Deathride will not be explored. It should be pointed out, however, that Mosier, who is an English professor at Loyola University, has been heavily criticized for his works by military historians. In a review of Mosier’s The Myth of the Great War and The Blitzkrieg Myth noted scholar Jeremy Black strongly disapproved of his works, pessimistically viewing the popularity of the deeply flawed works as a “triumph of emotion over reason.” Deathride continues Mosier’s authorship of “poor history,” according to military historian Alexander Hill. It might then be appropriate that Bishop declared the work to be “refreshing and pleasantly surprising to revisionists.”
