To be shown to the Holocaust deniers

Posted on

Busy doing my reading for my conversion. In my history book, I’m on the Holocaust section. Here’s a quote which should be handy to show to any Holocaust-deniers you come across.

But at the same time [July 1941] an additional oral order was given by Hitler to Heydrich and transmitted to Eichmann: ‘I have just come from the Reichsführer: the Führer has now ordered the physical annihilation of the Jews.’

— A History of the Jews by Paul Johnson

He cites, for the quotation, Jochen von Lang, Eichmann Interrogated (New York 1973), pp. 74-5.

  1. Yes – there it is, in black and white. I have the Paul Johnson book. Havenm;t looked at it in a long time. You are reminding me to take it out and look through it again. Thanks, Patti.

  2. I’m really puzzled by how some people can deny the holocaust ever happened.There were scores of survivors and troops who witnessed it first-hand, right? All kinds of physical evidence too. But I suppose some people put aside reaility when it fails to suit their purpose.
