really stupid wartime propaganda.
While it was used as wartime propaganda, the Holocaust as we know it today -- the holiest of all sacraments, the centerpiece of our history and civil society -- really didn't seem to catch on until about the time of the 1967 war, when Jews sensed -- after getting away with murdering JFK and attacking the USS Liberty (thanks in both cases, LBJ), then kicking Arab butt -- that the western world was theirs for the taking. As far as number of deaths in the camps, I've read that the Red Cross had access to them up until 1944, and then after they were liberated in 1945. They did a thorough study to determine the total number of deaths of all ethnicities, and I've seen two estimates -- one in the 300,000s and one in the 700,000s. Those studies have since been taken out of circulation.
I believe fschmidt when he says he lost family in the camps. That would certainly be consistent with the standard Holocaust narrative, but not inconsistent with the theory that serious disease and starvation beset the camps once the Allies began bombing the region, cutting off access to food and medical supplies.
Am I wrong in believing that there is no written record of the Wannsee protocols, the purported plan to systematically eliminate Jews?
