There's footage of the liberation of a concentration camp in this old newsreel.
"COMBAT BULLETIN 36” 1945 ARMY PICTORIAL FILM CONCENTRATION CAMPS & GERMAN ATROCITIES XD52274
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go2bwt-
It shows the usual footage of bodies being buried in mass graves. It attributes the deaths to starvation and typhus. It makes no mention of gas chambers.
It does mention medical experiments performed on prisoners. I'm still wondering how much of that issue is true. It might all be true and it might have been exaggerated but I kind of doubt that it was totally false. Back in the seventies a jewish woman who lived across the street from my grandmother in Miami married an old jewish guy from Poland. She told me that he'd told her that the Germans had performed experiments on him when he was an inmate at a concentration camp. She said they removed his stomach. I had a meal with them once and he did in fact eat like a bird.
I don't see how to what extent the medical experiment issue is true can be determined. |

Fake Nazi Quotations
https://www.ihr.org/other/weber2011fakequotations.html
(excerpt)
------------------------------------------------------------------
By Mark Weber
Quotations falsely attributed to Hitler and other Third Reich leaders have been widely circulated for years. Such quotes are often used by polemicists -- of both the left and the right -- to discredit their ideological adversaries by showing that Nazis held similar views. This tactic works because people have been educated to believe that anything Hitler and other Nazi leaders thought or said was malevolent, wrong-headed or evil, and that no reasonable or ethical person could hold similar views.
Here's a look at a few of the many remarks falsely attributed to Hitler and other top Nazis.
Goebbels: 'Truth is the Enemy of the State'
Hitler's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, supposedly said:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Rush Limbaugh, the popular American radio commentator, is just one of the many influential Americans who has cited this quotation. During a May 2007 radio broadcast he claimed that these remarks are "from Hitler's war room, the Nazi spinmeister-in-chief, Joseph Goebbels," who was "speaking for his cronies in the Nazi party." Limbaugh went on to claim that American "Democrat Party" leaders were using "a version" of Goebbels' technique to try to "repress dissent." And in January 2011 US Congressman Steve Cohen, a Democratic party politician of Tennessee, accused Republicans of propagating "a big lie, just like Goebbels" about a proposed national health care plan.
No one has been able to cite a source for this infamous “big lie” quote. That’s because Goebbels never wrote or uttered those words. His views were actually quite different than what this quotation suggests.
He consistently held that, to be effective, propaganda must be accurate and truthful. In an address given in September 1934 in Nuremberg, Goebbels said: “Good propaganda does not need to lie; indeed it may not lie. It has no reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people in a way that they will be able to understand. A propaganda that lies proves that it has a bad cause. It cannot be successful in the long run.”
In an article written in 1941, he cited examples of false British wartime claims, and went on to charge that British propagandists had adopted the "big lie" technique that Hitler had identified and condemned in his book Mein Kampf. Goebbels wrote: "The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous." |
