Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Big Lie Has Been Used Before, April 4, 2006

By	Larry Petersen (Illinois) - See all my reviews

I guess they would call it "Chutzpah", to publicly use the same big lie twice within the span of twenty or so years.

This book documents quite well how the magic number of "six million" was used in the period right after World War One in order to raise millions to help European Jews allegedly "on the brink of annihilation".

But just like today, instead of helping people who were having a rough time of it, (as many of every ethnic group were in post-war Europe), the big Jewish organizations funneled the money into their own pet projects and bank accounts to only help themselves.

Thus, we begin to see the story of the "six million", (and it is nothing more than a story!), as just another business opportunity to get money from the gullible.

As for the so-called "holocaust" of World War Two, that is the "new and improved" version of the old product, packaged for everyones tastes, with the ultimate prize being the eternal flow of money from the "Goyum", and the dispossession of the Palestinians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, June 16, 2007

By	Michael Santomauro "What sort of Truth is it ... (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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."
