Prove it is fake.
Prove it is fake. Number of employees doth not prove of faking make. So, even if I would accept that, (and where did the heads come from, did they bring them?) does that mean the facts they found are fake? Saggy... in case you missed reading the subtitle of this forum... over here you have to put your money where your mouth is. You have to build up your claim with evidence. |

C'mon Budly and Saggy. Just admit you hate the Joos and that you're glad that millions of them were killed during the Holocaust. Do you not have the courage to stand up for what you believe?

Well, in the Tiger thread I've already linked to, Saggy tries to generalize from a group of offended Orthodox Jews reportedly spitting on someone who was interrupting their demonstration, to Haaretz reporting that it is a religious mandate for Jews to spit on Christians. He never got around to explaining why this "religious mandate" was *actually* reported in an undated interview with cites City of Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby saying that they had had only two complaints from Christians in the past two years. He went on to say that in both cases, the culprits were caught and punished. Readers may draw their own conclusions. . |

Let's ask a couple of questions of Budly and Saggy.
For the sake of argument, let's say your claims that the Holocaust didn't happen are correct. Does that then mean you hold a favourable and positive opinion of the Nazi regime and of Hitler himself? Or do you still consider both Hitler and the Nazi regime despicable and reprehensible? |

I must say that this is the thing that most puzzles me about Holocaust Deniers. They're all utterly obsessed with how evil the Jews are and what a plague to humanity they are and how they're out to destroy the world and so forth. And then they also say "No, Hitler LOVED the Jews! There was no holocaust! He was training the Jews for a better life in Israel!"
Well, why do they think Hitler's such a great guy then? I mean, if Hitler's whole program with respect to the Jews was to settle them in Israel (and provide them with skills and training to make that settlement even more successful) shouldn't they regard Hitler as the worst leader in all of history? He's the person, in their view, who made possible the evil country that--again, in their view--is battening on the world like a vampire today. Shouldn't they all condemn Hitler as an evil Jew-lover and the greatest friend Israel (their great enemy) ever had? But no, somehow it's all "if only we'd listened to Hitler, there wouldn't be any of these troubles nowadays!" What? Israel would be even stronger? The whole world would have participated in a vast Zionist project? Is that what they mean? |

Am I a holocaust denier? Yes I am.
But having said that, if the Soviets faked footage at Auschwitz, and if the Americans faked footage at Buchenwald, that doesn't mean the holocaust didn't happen. It would mean (if you were a believer) that there was ample evidence and the over-zealous covert operations people, didn't need to fake any more evidence. In fact they hurt the credibility of the real evidence by faking evidence. But we're not even on that level in this thread. |

Indeed not. We're at the level of a simple, bald assertion of fakery, with no proof of any kind offered whatsoever.
Perhaps you should offer some, you know, proof. Then we can decide whether or not this one, relatively minor, piece of the vast mountain of proof demonstrating that the Holocaust did take place is unreliable. |

Maybe the Allies faked all the footage of the bombed out German cities to make their war efforts look more destructive than they really were? I mean, as long as we're tossing out allegations of faked films...

I don't mind that. You are entitled to be.
And this thread is about proving that the Soviets faked Auschwitz, and it has not been proven one bit. The 'over-zealous' kind of answers it... But even *if* they were over-zealous and even *if* it was not necessary. That does not say a single thing about the evidence that the Holocaust *did* happen. No, not really. Evidence has to be checked on it's own merit. Piece by piece. In this forum if someone uses bad or weak evidence/statements to discredit strong evidence/arguments he/she is usually explained what a Strawman Argument is. As long as you can not disprove *all* evidence, there still is evidence. Exactly, there has not been one piece of evidence for the OP claim at all. *Your* claim Budly. |

Well first let's hear what Nick Terry and Jonathan Harrison say about the bucket of human heads and the pilloried bodies. They obviously are familiar with this footage in question.

By the way, the whole "bucket of heads" thing is addressed pretty thoroughly here. Turns out that nobody but the Holocaust deniers claim that this is footage of Auschwitz and that it was never claimed to be footage of Auschwitz at the Eichmann trial. So the entire "why would they leave this behind at Auschwitz" line of argument is irrelevant. Yet again its Deniers 0 / Truth 1.

Haha .... from the 'rebuttal' it appears that no one knows where the film came from. But no problem ..... let's check the 'authentication' process ...
Attorney General: With the Court's permission, last night we screened the films - which the Court will now see - in the presence of representatives of the Prosecution, and in the presence of Dr. Servatius and nine identification witnesses. They are: Mrs. Salzberger, Mr. Hoch, Mr. Aviel, Mr. Melkman, Mr. Ben-Zvi, Mr. Bakon, Mrs. Kagan, Mr. Chen and Mr. Aharon Hoter-Yishai. As a result of the screening, Defence Counsel agreed that, indeed, each of the witnesses identified a portion of the pictures, and hence, in this way, the entire screening was authenticated. I understand that Defence Counsel does not insist that the oath be administered to these identifying witnesses, but they are present here, at the Court's disposal, should the Court desire further authentication from them or to put additional questions to them. Presiding Judge: That means there will be no testimony.. This degenerate trash was used against Eichmann without a word of authentication. How grotesque can the Israeli court be? Answer: there is no limit. |

the numbers speak for themselves. there are at least 4.5 million Jews missing from the planet Earth. max numbers are 7 million.
until someone comes up with a reasonable theory as to where these Jews went, I believe the Holocaust is true. |

You do realize that when you quote from court transcripts like this it makes it very easy for anybody to Google the complete transcripts, right? And when they Google the complete transcripts it becomes clear that the Judge is voicing a concern as to the lack of testimony about the authenticity of the films, a concern that is immediately answered by the prosecuting attorneys. Furthermore, Eichmann's lawyer is part of this discussion and, amongst other things, he stipulates that all of the footage is genuine. He gets to raise his objections to the applicability of certain parts of the footage.
I mean, why bother lying about something so easily checkable? And once again we have your virulent hatred of Israel and of Jews in general on display, and have this odd problem of reconciling this with your evidently fervent admiration for Hitler--for the very Hitler who, in your view, was one of the great champions of Israel and a man who too a deep paternalistic interest in the fate of the Jews. Why are you so enamoured of Hitler if you actually believe him to have been one of the chief supporters of a people you also believe to be a scourge of humanity? |

.
And so (not that it was any surprize,) we add reading for comprehension to Saggy's lacks. From the cited article:
Quote:
The article then goes on to quote the actual transcript showing how very unlikely it is that this film was presented as if it was actual footage from Auschwitz. . [quote=Saggy;5608062] <snip description of authentication process, carried out in the presence of Defense Counsel and nine witnesses, and stipulated to by him in court> This degenerate trash was used against Eichmann without a word of authentication. . Do you even read and understand what *you* write? . . Yes, how *dare* they afford the defendant the benefit of his choice of counsel, paid for by the State, and every opportunity to object to any evidentiary evidence and crossexamine all witnesses. And how was that "I'm going to confess to my part in the mass murder off millions, and that's how I'm going to beat this rap" thing supposed to work again? . |

Trying to reason with someone who denies the holocaust happened is like trying to hold a conversation with smoke. It moves around and becomes elusive. One cant get a handle on it at all. It just conveniently dissipates when comfronted and leaves a bad smell in the air.

It's generally tough to argue with reality-deniers.

True but this is not about you and I - or those who disbelieve the holocaust. It is the people who read these forums, who for whatever reason choose not to post in them.
If holocaust deniers are constantly challenged in a cold dispassionate way, those reading these forums may just be swayed in their thinking of history. We owe a challenge to holocaust deniers for the ghosts of all the people who died. Not just Jewish but all the other races and creeds the Nazis decided were of no value. We owe such a challenge to everyone who has been a victim of state sponsored violence. We owe such a challenge for those who will come after us. Dwight D Eisenhower picked it all the way back in 1945 when he organised everyone he could to visit the camps his troops had liberated “I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to ‘propaganda.’” |

The Israeli Attorney General mentioned Auschwitz. He didn't mention the "Danzig Anatomical Institute" Why would the Danzig Anatomical Institute have a pillory device for holding someone's neck? That's an atrocity propaganda fake.
Notice how Nick Terry and his links would have you believe that the display items at Buchenwald were real? Pretty slick, since tattoos can be real but not taken off prisoners bodies. Even Buchenwald curator Harry Stein doesn't think they shrunk heads for curios at Buchenwald, but Nick Terry clearly does! LOL. I have the bucket of heads footage somewhere on a DVD, and now I'm going to have to find it, and see what film it's from. MG1962 wrote:

I sometimes wonder if it isnt a question of whether they believe it,though. I sorta think they believe it but are determined to defend the natizs by this denial. I think they hate the Jewish people and the other folks the Natzis singled out....just my thoughts....but I can almost feel the hatred eminating from them and the arrogance.
I could be wrong....it is just a feeling I have is all. |

A) provide a transcript of the Israeli Attorney General claiming that this particular piece of footage is from Auschwitz.
B) You're guessing as to the purpose of the "pillory device." So you made this OP without even knowing what the provenance of this footage was. Very slick. |

It seems that way in the real world, but not in the world of a hoax trial. The prosecution shows a movie from who knows where of a bucket full of severed heads, and the 'defense' doesn't object. No testimony is given to authenticate the movie. Not a single word. What does that tell you? The trial was a hoax. How much proof do you need?
The hoaxers on this board are beyond pathetic ! LOL. |

you havent as of yet provided any proof at all, apart from proving that Eichmans defense approved the film and that Eichman himself didn't object to it
seems to me that you in your arrogance and inability to grasp simple concepts are constantly shooting yourself in the foot, if you did that while serving in the WW2 german army, guess where you'd end up ![]() |
