Ctrl's Selected Auschwitz Pics...

[standvast]

jayfuseon , malltreatment starvation and dead bodies are inherent to
war and persecution, noone here denies attrocities committed or is out to portray
Auschwitz as a summercamp. [Re]examining the facts is important as in any time of war propaganda from
all sides shapes the way events go down in history, what is omitted and what is pressingly remembered.
Please don't try to act like you understand the intentions of people you don't know,
If this was about revising hystory on the biggest holocaust ever , that being
Native north/South American Indians murdered by Europeans, you probably wouldn't have
even shown up with pictures of dead people.

Quote:The sign to the sides of the pool 'explained' that the reservoir of water was used for fire extinguishing while it was disguised as a swimming pool. Although of and by itself this is ridiculous to begin with consider then how on earth a reservoir of water would be of any use during wintertime when it freezes and the water has turned to ice. During times of need, i.e. fire, how could the fire brigade be successful in extracting water from a reservoir of frozen water (i.e. ice)? If officials lied about this then what else did they lie about?

besides that it has steps next to it which most logically had a springboard attached.

Quote:There's one thing I noticed immediately about the camp. The trees are all pruned to make them look very sickly and dead. The very way they are pruned is pure propaganda to anyone with a critical thinking mind. When you take a healthy and living tree and try to make it look dead, I'd call that subliminal propaganda.

I've read the explanation twice that they keep the camp in all it's dark gloomyness purposefully,
the trees might have been green and healthy during the war , so you have a point,
but it's the general intention to keep the camp "as it was" IOW ; they [Auschwitz preservation foundation]
admit to being very concious of the impression they want visitors to have of it. [no conflicting images ;all gloom]

Quote:One thing I found rather ironic was the bars on the jail cells. The cells are located in the basement of block 11. The irony I thought was the torch imagery in the iron-work. To me a torch implies freedom, not incarceration. But then again. considering the newspeak phrase "Arbeit Macht Frei" over the main gate to the camp, I should not be surprised.

Interesting, in funeral /grave symbology an inverted torch means death, as
the classical greek "fire of the gods' torch stands for life and wisdom.
The torch isn't inverted but the triangle is,..

Quote:I was bored... took a picture of a sign....can't read it but I'd imagine it's some warning for the electrified fence.

it says ; caution - high voltage -mortal danger. :tongue:

Maybe our Jewish friend can explain how LORE (ie: Nuremburg transcripts) tells how the escape from Sobibor could only be through a tunnel less than 5 feet underground (at floor level) lest they hit the local water table, yet they were able to burn corpses at the same location in 25 foot deep pits?

Both claims CANNOT be true.

jayfuseon, think me an snti-semite if that's what floats your boat, but in all honesty, my skepticism of the holocaust doesn't make me a hater of jews any more than my skepticism of the moon landings makes me want to see Apollo astronauts killed in gas chambers.

I would STRONGLY suggest you quit it with the veiled labeling such as "An experimentation of Dr. Josef Mengele (probably ConCen's role model)" or else I'm just going to throw your ass out of here.

Personally, I'm begining to think your rabbi went too far with your circumcision and whacked your balls off too.... otherwise you'd be man enough to address the FACTS with FACTS.... not speculation and propaganda.

Ever go ice fishing? An auger can bore a hole through 8 inches of ice in mere seconds. As an aside, if it's cold enough to freeze water, how would hydrocyanic acid evaporate the zyklon-B pelets which has a boiling point of 25.6C?

Even the day Phil and I and Mairi Mairi quite contrary stood in the "gas chamber" it was bloody cold in there
despite being fairly warm day. That room is a bloody cold room as Phil can testify to, and without equipment
to heat the zyklon-b, there's no bloody way in hell ambient temperature could have turned that chemical "gasseous" to "gas the jews".
