HEIR TO THE HOLOCAUST - Prescott Bush, 1.5 Million Dollars and Auschwitz: How the Bush Family Wealth is Linked to the Jewish Holocaust - By by Toby Rogers

clamor may/june 02 4
While the Enron scandal currently
unfolds, another Bush family business scandal
lurks beneath the shadows of history that may
dwarf it.
On April 19, 2001, President George W.
Bush spent some of Holocaust Remembrance
Day in the Capital Rotunda with holocaust
survivors, allied veterans, and their families.
In a ceremony that included Jewish prayers
and songs sung by holocaust victims in the
camps, Benjamin Meed, a survivor of the
Warsaw ghetto uprising, movingly described
to the gathering what he experienced on April
19, 1943.
“I stood outside a Catholic church, which
faced the ghetto,” Mr. Meed said, “a young
Jewish boy posing as a gentile. As I watched
the ghetto being bombarded by the German
artillery, I could see many of the Jews of my
community jumping out of windows of
burning buildings. I stood long and mute.”
The survivor concluded his reminiscence
saying, “We tremble to think what could
happen if we allow a new generation to arise
ignorant of the tragedy which is still shaping
the future.”
President Bush, appearing almost
uncomfortable, read a statement that said that
humanity was “bound by conscience to
remember what happened” and that “the
record has been kept and preserved.” The
record, Mr. Bush stated, was that one of the
worst acts of genocide in human history
“came not from crude and uneducated men,
but from men who regarded themselves as ultured and well schooled, modern men,
forward looking. Their crime showed the
world that evil can slip in and blend in amid
the most civilized surroundings. In the end
only conscience can stop it.”
But while President Bush publicly
embraced the community of holocaust
survivors in Washington last spring, he and
his family have been keeping a secret from
them for over 50 years about Prescott Bush,
the president’s grandfather. According to
classified documents from Dutch intelligence
and US government archives, President
George W. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush
made considerable profits off Auschwitz slave
labor. In fact, President Bush himself is an
heir to these profits from the holocaust which
were placed in a blind trust in 1980 by his
father, former president George Herbert
Walker Bush.
Throughout the Bush family’s decades
of public life, the American press has gone
out of its way to overlook one historical fact
– that through Union Banking Corporation
(UBC), Prescott Bush, and his father-in-law,
George Herbert Walker, along with German
industrialist Fritz Thyssen, financed Adolf
Hitler before and during World War II. It was
first reported in 1994 by John Loftus and
Mark Aarons in–The Secret War Against the
Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the
Jewish People.
The US government had known that
many American companies were aiding Hitler ike Standard Oil, General Motors and Chase
Bank, all of which was sanctioned after Pearl
Harbor. But as The New York Times reporter
Charles Higham later discovered, and
published in his 1983 groundbreaking book,–
Trading With The Enemy; The Nazi American
Money Plot 1933-1949, “the government
smothered everything during and even after
the war.” Why?
According to Higham, the US
government believed “a public scandal ...
would have drastically affected public morale,
caused widespread strikes and perhaps
provoked mutinies in the armed services.”
Higham claims the government thought “their
trial and imprisonment would have made it
impossible for the corporate boards to help
the American war effort.”
However, Prescott Bush’s banks were
not just financing Hitler as previously
reported. In fact, there was a distinct business
link much deeper than Mr. Higham or Mr.
Loftus knew at the time their books were
published.
A classified Dutch intelligence file which
was leaked by a courageous Dutch
intelligence officer, along with newly surfaced
information from U.S. government archives,
“confirms absolutely,” John Loftus says, the
direct links between Bush, Thyssen and
genocide profits from Auschwitz.
The business connections between
Prescott Bush and Fritz Thyssen were more
direct than what has been previously written.
