5. Cremation Remains

The remains left behind by cremation would correspond to about 5 % of the corpses’ non-decomposed weight and 6 to 8 % of the wood weight, according to Mattogno, Graf & Kues.[197] With the exaggerated corpse weights and enormous amounts of wood they claim (see section 3), this allows them to argue that the volume of ash (assuming specific weights of 0.5 g/cm³ for human ash and 0.34 g/cm³ for wood ash) would, in some camps at least, have exceeded the established or estimated volume of the mass graves.[198]

A Polish victim of Nazi crimes

Today an article about a Polish citizen claiming indemnity for war crimes appeared on Spiegel Online. What follows is my translation of this article.

Meanwhile, on the RODOH forum ...

... "Revisionist" guru Friedrich Paul Berg (a writer of "serious, dedicated works", according to "Thomas Dalton, Ph.D.") is at his best in the thread cremations - especially in his post 298 (answered in my post 12735), where he produced the following jewel:

Stomping on Muehlenkamp's head is actually a lot of fun. It's sort of like kicking some dirty, old, lying Jew down a flight of stairs and cheering as he bounces on the way down with an audience of cheering onlookers.


Bravo, Fritz! Keep on showing the lurkers what "Revisionism" is all about.

4. Duration of Cremations

As mentioned in section 2.3, I estimated the area of each of the grids used for burning the bodies at Treblinka extermination camp at 66 m², assuming a length of 25 meters and a width of 2.625 meters. Mattogno & Graf’s estimate, also based on the grates’ description in the judgment at the 1st Düsseldorf Treblinka trial (Kurt Franz et al)[154], is somewhat higher: 30 meters long by 3 meters wide = 90 m².[155]

3. Fuel Requirements

Mattogno, Graf & Kues claim that burning the victims’ corpses at Nazi extermination camps would have required enormous quantities of fuel that are at odds with the evidence if they were logistically obtainable at all. The main parameters on which this claim rests are the average weight of the corpses to be burned and the average amount of wood or wood equivalent required for cremation per kg of corpse weight.

1. Introduction

The corpses of most people murdered at the Aktion Reinhard(t) extermination camps Bełżec, Sobibór, Treblinka were burned, which means that what is left of most victims are cremation remains like ashes and bone fragments. Holocaust deniers (so-called "Revisionists") Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf and Thomas Kues[1] don’t deny that bodies were burned at these places, but dispute the historically accepted scale of corpse cremation on grounds that it would have been logistically impracticable in what concerns fuel requirements and the duration of cremations and is incompatible with the available evidence, especially the amount of cremation remains found.

Not that it matters much, but ...

... I have submitted proof that 10 mass graves at Bełżec and 4 mass graves at Sobibór each contain the remains of at least 19 bodies, in order to claim a $1,000.00 reward for each grave under "The National Association of Forensic Historians TM N.A.F.H. Crime Scene Investigation Challenge TM".

The respective 14 posts on the Skeptics Society Forum are listed in my post 2464 on the thread Archeological Investigations of Treblinka of the "Vanguard News Network" forum. The history behind these posts can be read in my post 12682 on the RODOH forum.

I don't expect to ever see a cent from a notorious liar and coward like Greg Gerdes, who (as I predicted) is already invoking non-compliance with certain "rules" about the wording of my submissions of proof to refuse payment in case Michael Shermer should take the time to read my posts and endorse the proof submitted (see my VNN post 2466 and the posts linked to at the end of my post 2464). But it's fun to see Greg Gerdes squirming, and I also hope that my posts on the Skeptics Forum will help to make more people familiar with evidence of mass extermination at Bełżec and Sobibór.
