HOLOCAUST

Book Review
the Allied lawyers devised the rules which would bind judges and
defense attorneys at the forthcoming trial. Americans, Britons,
and Frenchmen currently gloating over Soviet discomfiture at the
recent insistence of the Polish regime on finally laying the blame
for Katyn where it belongs should recall that the Western Allies
said not a public word at Nuremberg to challenge the Soviet
evidence on Katyn (the judges quietly glossed over the Red
charges by omitting them from their verdict).
It is the special service of Made in Russia: The Holocaust
to remind readers that the same Soviet stamp which converted
the fake Katyn reports into admissible evidence at Nuremberg
also provided proof of the extermination of millions of Jews at
Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, and elsewhere. As Porter
emphasizes, physical and forensic evidence for the Holocaust
was never introduced, nor is there any reason whatsoever to
imagine it ever existed. All we have is a handful of testimonies,
and confessions, and the reports of a number of Soviet or
Soviet-controlled investigative commissions. If there was a
Soviet Fred Leuchter, we have yet to hear from him (and
probably never will). The same Red prosecutors who framed the
victims of Stalins purges at the Moscow show trials, and sent
millions of innocents to their deaths in our gallant Soviet allys
Gulag archipelago, are the chief source for the vaunted
Nuremberg evidence of the Holocaust.
Porter provides numerous examples of prosecution
tactics, usually allowed by the judges, which would make
hanging judge Roy Bean, or even Neal Sher, blanche. He points
out that the prosecution made it difficult, if not impossible, for the
defense lawyers to have timely access to the documents
introduced into evidence by the prosecution; that photocopies
and transcripts were almost invariably submitted in evidence by
the prosecution instead of the original German documents, which
in very many cases seem today to have disappeared; that the
defendants rarely were able to confront their accusers, since
affidavits from witnesses who had been deposed months or
even weeks before sufficed; etc., etc., etc.
The author touches on many other aspects of the
Holocaust legend, from the feasibility of homicidal gassing with
Zyklon-B to the ease with which atrocity photos can be faked
(just supply the right caption!) to the Allied prosecutors
propensity for introducing page after page of irrelevant evidence

Since one reason the Russians are believed guilty for Katyn
is because small trees grew over the graves, the Germans
are constantly accused of planting them.

Note the small size of the oven. Most crematory ovens are
designed for 3 or 4 cremations a day. They cannot be operated
continuously. They must be pre-heated, cooled, cleaned and
repaired. They do not smell or emit smoke.

for making soap from human fat. This recipe gave instructions to
take 5 kilograms of human fat, with 10 litres of water and 500 or
1,000 grams of caustic soda, boil all this for 2-3 hours, then
leave to cool. The soap floats to the surface, and the residues
and water remain at the bottom, in buckets. Common salt and a
further handful of soda were added to the mixture. Then fresh
water was added and the mixture was again boiled for 2-3 hours.
After cooling, the finished soap was poured out into moulds.
The soap produced has an unpleasant smell. To eliminate
this unpleasant smell, benzaldehyde was added.
The work of preparing soap from human fat began in
January 1944. The senior laboratory assistant von Bargen was
the immediate head of the soap factory. All the equipment was
taken from the Anatomical Institute.
The first batch of corpses was delivered from
Konradstein, from the psychiatric hospital; I do not remember the
quantity.
Apart from this, there was a large supply of corpses in the
Anatomical Institute, amounting to about 400 corpses. A large
number of the corpses were decapitated. The decapitated
corpses had been guillotined in the prison of the town of
Knigsberg, and in 1944 a guillotine was set up in the Danzig
prison. I saw this guillotine in the yard in one of the rooms of the
prison; I saw it when I went to the Danzig prison for corpses. I
attach a sketch of the guillotine.
When I arrived at the prison for corpses, the corpses were
fresh, just after execution, and we received them in a room next
to the one where the guillotine was. The corpses were still warm.
On each corpse there was a label giving the surname and
year of birth, and these names were noted down in a special
book in the Anatomical Institute. I do not know where that book is
now. I went to the prison in Danzig for corpses 4-5 times.
From the Stutthof Camp, Borkner brought four corpses of
Russian people, men.
Borkner and Reichert collected fat from human bodies.
I boiled soap from bodies of men and women. One
productive boiling took several days, from 3 to 7 days. The two
boilings which I know about, in which I took a direct part, yielded

which had been equipped for this purpose not long before. One
room was for undressing, and another was the waiting room. In
the rooms, a radio was playing quite loud music, to prevent the
prisoners from guessing that death awaited them. From the
second room, they went one by one through a passage into a
small screened-off room, on the floor of which was an iron
grating; under the grating, a drainage canal had been made. As
soon as a prisoner had been killed, the corpse was carried away
by two German prisoners, and the blood was cleaned off the
grating. In this small room, there was a slit measuring about 50
centimetres. The prisoner stood with the back of his head to the
slit, and a gunman who was behind the slit shot him. In fact, this
arrangement was unsatisfactory, because the gunman often
failed to hit the prisoner. After eight days, a new system was
introduced. They stood the prisoner against the wall, as before,
and then slowly lowered an iron plate onto his head. The iron
plate contained a hammer, which came down and hit the
prisoner on the back of the head, so that he fell down dead.
The iron plate was controlled by means of a foot-
operated lever located in the corner of this room. The
attendants were from the above mentioned Sonderkommando.
At the request of the officials of the execution detachment, I, too,
operated this apparatus. I will speak about this below. The
prisoners of war who were killed in this way were burnt in
four mobile crematoria, which were transported on a truck
trailer.
All the time, I had to drive from the inner camp to the
execution yard. At night, I had to make 10 trips at intervals of
about 10 minutes. During these intervals, I witnessed the
execution. One of the members of the execution detachment,
whose surname I never knew, suggested that I should operate
the apparatus. I agreed. In each interval I killed 8-10 people. So
in one night I killed 80-100 people. During the period of
execution I personally killed 2,400-3,000 Russian prisoners of
war, some of whom I shot with a pistol, and others I killed with
the apparatus described above. Once more I repeat that out of a
total of 840,000 Russian prisoners of war I personally killed
2,400-3,000 people. I myself expressed a wish to operate this
apparatus. The official of the execution commission could not
compel me to do so, because he was not my superior. There
were no other methods of execution apart from these...
