The First Holocaust: Jewish Fund Raising Campaigns with Holocaust Claims During and After World War I (Holocaust Handbook, 6) [Paperback]

Don Heddesheimer (Author)

Book Description

Series: Holocaust Handbook | Publication Date: August 30, 2003

Six million Jews in Poland and Russia threatened with imminent holocaust: this allegation was appearing in such sources as The New York Times – but the year was 1919! Don Heddesheimer’s compact but substantive First Holocaust documents post-WWI propaganda that claimed East European Jewry was on the brink of annihilation, regularly invoking the talismanic six million figure. It details how that propaganda was used to agitate for minority rights for Jews in Poland, and for Zionism and Bolshevism in Poland and Russia. It also demonstrates how Jewish fundraising operations in America raised vast sums in the name of feeding Polish and Russian Jews, then funneled much of the money to Zionist and Communist "constructive undertakings" – including banks, unions, and kibbutzes – rather than to starving Jews. The First Holocaust is a valuable study of American Jewish institutional operations at a fateful juncture in Jewish and European history, an incisive examination of a cunningly contrived campaign of atrocity and extermination propaganda, two decades before the alleged WWII Holocaust – and an indispensable addition to every revisionist’s library.

This review is from: The First Holocaust: Jewish Fund Raising Campaigns with Holocaust Claims During and After World War I (Holocaust Handbook, 6) (Paperback)

A revisionist classic that questions the Holocaust facts in a scholarly and academic and non-hateful and very loving way. Yet the publisher, Germar Rudolf, is in jail in Germany for THOUGHT CRIMES for writing "Lectures on the Holocaust."

This review is from: The First Holocaust: Jewish Fund Raising Campaigns with Holocaust Claims During and After World War I (Holocaust Handbook, 6) (Paperback)

..especially as far as the Holocaust is concerned. Because, it seems, the "Jewish Holocaust" that supposedly happened in Nazi Germany during the latter years of the Second World War, actually wasn't the first Jewish Holocaust at all. It wasn't even the first in that century. In fact, looking at the collection of newspaper articles and clippings assembled by Don Heddesheimer from the late 1800s through the 1930s, it would appear there has been a near-constant holocaust in progress since at least 1880. It is also noteworthy that the authors of the vast majority of these newspaper articles were the richest of Wall Streets (Jewish) bankers; Schiffs and Warburgs among them. Is this perhaps a clue to their original purpose, these claims of perennial persecution? Was their point always financial extortion? Looking at the "compensation" claims of "holocaust survivors" today against countries that patently had nothing to do with any holocaust, even if one HAD happened (like Belgium), it would appear at least to a jaundiced eye that this is indeed the case.

This is a short, easy and intriguing read, light on analysis, and which contains reproductions of all the original newspaper articles. I believe it is downloadable as .pdf. Read for yourself how the world's "eternal victims" have been "crying wolf" for a long long time...
