In August <BR/>1942 British radio broadcast tales<BR/>of steamings and then diesel<BR/>killings at Treblinka as part of<BR/>a black propaganda campaign.<BR/><BR/>The Soviets picked up the story and<BR/>expanded on it, creating the <BR/>Ugly Myth (a more accurate name<BR/>than "Hoax")" So even though you have no evidence of your "British black propaganda" radio campaign,(as far as I know) You're telling us that the Soviets are just going to "pick up" on it? So they could later give Israel money? Wow. Weak. Tell me, (most probably) UV, what evidence is there that the Soviets partially reconstructed the gas chambers at Auschwitz and at Madjanek? I thought so.

Their intention was to increase black and Jewish mutual “understanding” in Brooklyn through a movie to be shown on PBS called Liberators. For the benefit of the NYT, which gave serious coverage to this far-fetched story, Wiesel conjured up a brand new memory that he had never mentioned before: “I will always remember with love a big black soldier. He was crying like a child—tears of all the pain in the world and all the rage. Everyone who was there that day will forever feel a sentiment of gratitude to the American soldiers who liberated us.”He made this statement despite the fact that there were no blacks present at the liberation of Buchenwald on April 11, 1945, and the black unit in question was over 50 miles away on that date. After a gala preview screening of the movie in Harlem, it was gradually revealed that the film’s thesis was a hoax. Thus, it was never released. Jeffrey Goldberg, among others, denounced this media fabrication that the NYT had so strongly supported. Yet, Wiesel repeated this true lie in his autobiography: “I will never forget the American soldiers and the horror that could be read in their faces. I will especially remember one black sergeant, a muscled giant, who wept tears of impotent rage and shame, shame for the human species, when he saw us. He spewed curses that on his lips became holy words. We tried to lift him onto our shoulders to show our gratitude, but we didn’t have the strength. We were too weak to even applaud him.” In Wiesel’s patronizing and essentially racist view of the world, blacks are portrayed as physically strong but inarticulate. They can only spit out obscenities. Amazingly, even though the story was known to be false, he later incorporated it into his lecture routine, as needed."<BR/><BR/>From "Elie Wiesel and the Catholics"<BR/>by David O'connell<BR/><BR/>The rest of a thorough expose of this lacrimose fraudster is archived at CULTURE WARS here:<BR/>http://www.culturewars.com/2004/Wiesel.htm<BR/>The author is a professor of French at an American university.whodareswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253707852964027915noreply@blogger.com
