Hoess on the first gassing in Krema I. Yet another howler.

Archie where is that quote from?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

It's originally from Hoess's so-called "autobiography." It's also quoted in the Holocaust Handbooks volume on Hoess (#35). See page 151.

Can you give me a brief synopsis on his autobiography?

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.

Booze, you should be able to find out about this pretty easily without asking other users to write book reports for you.

To get an overview of it, I would start with Google, Wikipedia, AI, etc. This will give you the standard/non-revisionist summary. Then you can check out HH #35 for a revisionist view. It's available for free online. Look at the table of contents, start with page 137.

From there you can procure a copy of the actual book if you so desire.

Fair enough. Sorry about that.

Hector, there is so much truth to those who come to the camp. I found this posting on X of someone who even the night before he got there, was already primed and ready to be emotionally drained, or sadden.

Bear in mind how folks are exposed to the subject

1. They may have heard about it via friends and family.
2. The hear something on TV, read it in the Newspaper. movies, etc.
3. In school there is some "Holocaust Education".

So they come there with their prejudices already developed. Although some skeptics may also be there. The atmosphere primes the people to absorb the myth as 'truth'.


It's a bit like visiting Catholic shrines or pilgrim sites, people can have some 'spiritual experience' there... Which isn't spiritual, but rather emotional if not spiritist. I frequently hear visitors of Auschwitz saying that place got some strange vibe to it. And they subscribe that to 'the many people that were killed there'... Strange how that vibe can't be felt at other sites of many people being killed right now... Isn't it? So it rather relates to this being designed for persuasion than for education.

So true...two days ago I talked to an American about to visit Poland with his family... 35, educated, financially well off.
I asked him his itinerary...and after naming several tourist destinations his voice dropped to a solemn tone, "Of course
we are going to visit Auschwitz." I replied, That's always jolly for the kids. Unfortunately it was become a Disneysque
tourist carnival. I also told him the Wewel Cathedral historic area in Krakow was much more interesting.
