How Reliable and Authentic is the Broad Report?

Part I – The origins of the report

Part II – The reliability of the report

Part III – The tone of the report

Part IV – The Broad report in Revisionist and Anti-Revisionist literature




This article looks into the issue to what extent the Broad report[1], supposedly written by the former member of the Political Department in Auschwitz Pery Broad in 1945, is an authentic, reliable document. The first part discusses the origins of the report, the second addresses its reliability, the third deals with its tone and last part reviews its use and critique in both Revisionist and Anti-Revisionist literature. Much of the testimonial and documentary evidence cited is directly quoted in the endnotes or the appendix.

Pits at a «Resettlement Site»

On 8 February 1943, the Belarusian city of Sluzk (Slutsk) in the Minsk region, which had already seen a massacre by Police Battalion 11 in October 1941, was the site of one of the mass killings described in the Koblenz Court of Assizes’ judgment of 21 May 1963.

Some CODOH "Revisionists" made a fuss ...

... about one of the photo collections available on this blog site.

As usual when CODOH "Revisionists" mouth off about me or this blog site, their antics are commented on the RODOH thread A message to Jonnie Hannover Hargis .... See my posts 13089, 13090, 13091, 13092, 13093 and 13094.

«What is Katyn against that?»

The blog Thomas Kues on Maly Trostenets: Lying about a German Court Judgment includes a partial translation of a file note written on 20 July 1943 by SS-Obersturmbannführer Eduard Strauch, in which Strauch reports about a confrontation he had with Wilhelm Kube, the Generalkommissar for the part of the Nazi-occupied Soviet territories known as White Ruthenia, following the execution of 70 Jews employed by the Generalkommissar.

Introducing a new contributor

Our new contributor is Roberto Lucena, a Brazilian citizen who has been doing a great job informing Portuguese-speaking readers about the crimes of Nazi Germany and her allies, the denial thereof and issues of racism and intolerance on the blog site O Holocausto - Documentação e História, which includes Portuguese translations of a number of HC articles.

Roberto has also rendered valuable assistance to Jonathan Harrison in writing the blog about Kues and Gustav Wagner.

We welcome Roberto and look forward to his contributions.

An Interview with ex-denier Christian Lindtner

This blog recently conducted an interview with former denier Christian Lindtner, who had once been involved with the 2006 revisionist conference in Tehran. After continuing his research into the Holocaust, Lindtner came to disavow his earlier position, and as a result has suffered public attacks from the likes of Juergen Graf and Frederick Toben. Lindtner has established his own blog, Holocaust Denial is Chutzpah, in order to publicize and support his position.

While HC members may not necessarily endorse all of the statements that Lindtner makes, we feel that his work on denial would be worthwhile for our readers to access. We have bolded some of Dr. Lindtner's responses which we found especially interesting.

Nazi 'Projection' of Extermination Goals

'Projection' is a process whereby someone accuses another of possessing negative traits that actually belong to himself. It is therefore significant that Nazi propaganda policy was to accuse Jews of wishing to exterminate Germans. On February 5, 1943, the Deutscher Wochendienst issued these instructions to German media:
Stress: If we lose this war, we do not fall into the hands of some other states but will all be annihilated by world Jewry. Jewry firmly decided [fest entschlossen] to exterminate all Germans. International law and international custom will be no protection against the Jewish will for total annihilation [totaler Vernichtungswille der Juden] [source: NG-4714 in Hilberg, Destruction of European Jews, vol. I, p.1094].

Evidence of Jürgen Graf's Racism

In his response to my last article here on Graf's racism, Dr. Joachim Neander requested that I provide "better arguments, e.g. one or more quotations where [Graf] shows a depreciating attitude toward an ethnic or racial group." This was a fair request so in this new article, I summarize my findings on Graf's position regarding race.

In this article, Graf claims that we are living in "a globalist system of pseudo-democratic régimes in which Jews control the government and the opposition at the same time (the classic examples being the U.S., Great Britain, and France)" and that "in any European society the Jewish Community will attempt to continue its destructive work". In this review, Graf states that "The fallacious doctrine of racial equality, which has been promoted for decades by the followers of Franz Boas, has caused pernicious political consequences." If racial equality is "fallacious", then obviously races must be unequal, as shown by Graf's advocacy of Avdeyev, whom Graf admits "pays tribute to the racial theorists of the Third Reich and explicitly claims that all races are not equal."
