Auschwitz Gas Chamber Denial and Hurtful Language Debated

To say things like, "More women died on the back seat of Senator Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz."

Why is it the business of a historian to be so tasteless and so hurtful to people who may have had relatives who suffered or died at Auschwitz, to ram your views down their throat?

But suppose that particular statement is true.

Why? It's a particular statement. What, that more people died on the back seat of Senator Edward Kennedy's car- Than in that fake gas chamber at Auschwitz.

Well, you know, you know it's not. The one they show the tour-- Yes, the one they show the tourists was built in 1948.

You know it's not. The Poles have admitted it was built in 1948.

And nobody, nobody will hear that. They said it was repaired, repaired.

It's, it's- Nobody said it was built for the first time.

It's, it's a totally fake building. They, they built a chimney behind it which isn't even connected to the main building.

A lot of, a lot of Auschwitz was in ruins, as you know.

It's like Disneyland. It's like Disneyland. It was in- The only way you can get people to realize- It was in ruins. It was in ruins.

No. There are plans that exist. They have, they have-- And even Van Pelt- You know that. Their 100,000- There are plans to exist. Even their 100,000 pound expert admits that what they show the tourists is fake.

Why- We wrote a whole chapter about it ... so tasteless? Why so needlessly hurtful?

You have to be tasteless because- Why? Why do you have to be tasteless? -it is the only way to bring this You have to be tasteless because- Why? Why do you have to be tasteless? -it is the only way to bring this extraordinary fact home to the world,

that what they show the tourists in Auschwitz is largely fake.

That they've destroyed the integrity. There's no doubt that tens or even hundreds of thousands of people died at Auschwitz from various causes, and- And you don't have the slightest qualm- Because- -using language like this- Yes, because- -designed to hurt and wound people. You have to. You have to in this case.

You have to? Who else does? One has to in this case. Nobody else does.

You feel you have to. Because over the whole of the Auschwitz complex has been put this, this glass cheese cover, so to speak, and no one's allowed to go near it and lift up the cheese cover and say, "I want to investigate that," because they put this word Holocaust over the top,

and they made it a criminal offense in many countries around the world even to look at what happened in Auschwitz.

And look what happened to me when I started questioning Auschwitz.

And that should make people suspicious.
