These are just some of the Children, identified by Serge Klarsfeld who did not Escape, who could have been saved, whose lives were expunged in the midst of Birkenau. What this says of the Humanity outside the realms of The Holocaust will be a matter of debate into eternity. Could more have been done! Yes! Could more have been achieved? Yes! Should more have been done to alleviate the suffering of The Jews of Europe? Yes! Should we have intervened in the Slaughter of 6,000,000 Jews of The Holocaust? Most certainly!
Klarsfeld’s Children Passed This Way.
Between 1933 and 1945, the period we will identify as The Holocaust period, few Jews of Europe managed to escape the clutches of Hitler and his Final Solution. While Countries continually sought to close their Borders to Jewish Refugees, émigré status was applied to some Jews. As a consequence of such a mean spirited process, 6,000,000 Jews of Europe, Men, Women and Their Children were Murdered.
Klarsfeld’s Children Lost in a Vast Expanse.
200,000 Escaped to the US,
125,000 Escaped to the Palestine,
70,000 Escaped to England,
50,000 Escaped to Argentina,
27,000 Escaped to Brazil,
25,000 Escaped to China
14,000 Escaped to Bolivia, and
14,000 Escaped to Chile.
This represented 425,000 Jews who were saved out of the 11,293,300 Jews targeted by The Wannsee Conference for Destruction, or less than 4% of those Targeted or about 7% of the 6,000,000 Jews who were actually Murdered.
This photograph insults the human psyche because it not only represents the Destruction of The Jewish People here at Liepaja, but the lack of conscience shown by those Germans and their partners in Participating and Perpetrating these crimes, is a crime against all of Humanity!
All misuse of this space will be deleted. I will have my Publisher adjudicate but it for me to decide the lack of credibility of those who wish to enter scurrilous comments and defame further the Memory of the 6,000,000 Murdered Jews of The Holocaust.
I am not sure if you are serious about the subject, though your points are well delineated. But I guess you wish to remain anonymous! It would appear that you have a very good grounding in what The Holocaust means and I assure you I appreciate the knowledge you bring to the fore. Those others, whoever they really are deniers pure and simple! They will not reason with the Truth because it portrays their hatred for what it is. Thank You! It appears I am not alone on these pages in Remembering that 6,000,000 Murdered Jews means atrocity in everyone’s language!
Mr Ghast. I don’t want to get into the ‘did they, didn’t they’ nonsense of pedantic arguments over numbers and such, so how about this:
If the SS were saving Jews (and maybe some did!) why were so many men, women and children interred in camps? If they wanted to save them, why weren’t they allowed to remain in their own homes? “Mr Pettifer” (I have reason to believe that’s not your real name) the gassing stories CAN be proven. Archaeological evidence (Sobibor is in the news for it, NOW), and witness testimony proves it. Sure, some soldiers were interrogated/tortured, but the victims who survived had no reason to claim gassing, when bullets would have done!? Why invent a brutal method, when simply saying ‘the Nazi’s starved us to death’ would have done? Kane killed Abel. Jews have killed Jews, Christians have killes Christians. The murder of any people by any other should always be recognised, but if this blog relates only to the accepted event that is the Holocaust, why should historic Jewish evil be recounted here? Surely another blog could dedicate itself to that work? Mr Pettifer?
Mr Ghast – you criticise Mr Dempsey for having ‘Talmudic masters’. Are these the same ‘masters’ that have somehow ‘forced’ the German capital, Berlin, to have a Holocaust memorial, as acknowledgement for what happened. That memorial – in what must surely be the HARDEST place in the planet to accept that it happened ‘under their watch’ agrees with the ‘accepted 6 million figure’. All scholars will accept that it may have been more or less, but not significantly different to 6 million deaths attributed to the Nazi’s targeted campaign against the Jews.
Mr Starfishki, when correcting someone’s math, perhaps you need to spell correctly, yourself.

OPERATIONAL SITUATION REPORT USSR No. 156
Einsatzgruppe A Location: Krasnogvardeisk
Situation of Security Police work
The total to date in the area of Einsatzkommando 2 comes to 33,970.
On November 30, 1941, 10,600 Jews were shot in Riga. The action was led by the Higher SS and Police Chief. One officer and 20 men of Einsatzkommando took part.
6,000,000 Jews were Murdered. The Allied Governments knew this was happening. der Einsatzgruppe Operational Situation Reports had been intercepted and decoded. The Churches knew what was happening. Locals knew it was happening. What part do you not understand or appreciate? It merges too that British Intelligence had been listening into conversations amongst German Officer POW’s. Not to act on the Truth of the emerging Holocaust was tantamount to ignoring the Jews of Europe in the direst hour of greatest need.
Do you ever read? What I have stated is simple enough! The Allied Soldiers could not have died in vain as they were fighting a pernicious evil. Hitler and his Nazi’s. What they could not be expected to do was fight against Hitler’s hatred of the Jewish People while conducting themselves on the Battlefield. It is for Governments to state the policy and they were lack lustre in their response to what was an emerging crisis for The Jews of Europe and which in all eventuality became a Genocide that mocks their indifference. The Holocaust, as we know cost the Jewish People 6,000,000 Lives! We know this! What we don’t really know is why so many Governments failed to act when the Truth had been in the Public domain for quite some time, prior to even The Wannsee Conference in 1942.
No! Those Allied losses were not in vain! They died fighting Hitler, a bigoted, anti-Semite and pseudo idealist. He used all manner of ideology to confound the German people into believing that the Jewish People needed eradicating. When all organs of the Reich were involved in the systematic resolve for The Final Solution, 6,000,000 Jews were Murdered. While the Allies were fighting this evil, the Jews were being processed through a Murder Mill. Allied thinking at the time was finish the War, save all resources toward that end. The Jewish People appeared expendable to that thought process. This has nothing to do with the valiant Allied Soldier who fought to rid Europe of an oppressive regime, a monster Fuhrer and a form of hatred so cruelly expressed in Death Camps and Killing sites! You can fool some of the People all the time and all of the People some of the time but You cannot deny a basic and intrinsic Truth that is The Holocaust! 6,000,000 Jews were Murdered. Agreed, today’s research points to that being an assessment rather than a accurate account. But we cannot know the extent to which The Jews of Europe were so systematically Destroyed. Can we know the numbers of Births of Jewish Babies not recorded and merely cast aside? Mother’s on the brink of extinction would have done all in their power to ensure their new born were not Murdered. They might have been saved. Given to Christian Families? Mercifully put to sleep. Do the Math. Percentage wise? If 10% of those 6,000,000 Jews who were Murdered were Mother’s giving birth, then there might have been 600,000 Children additional to that overall account!
Your form of revisionism is sheer denial. You expect the World to believe that 6,000,000 Jews, Murdered by Hitler and his Nazi’s, just vanished to satisfy a review of History that sports an antisemitic hatred? Doesn’t work like that! What would we do if we than accepted a version of History which suggested Hitler did not want to have a War of expansion, his Lebensraum! Would all those American, British, Irish, Commonwealth, French and Allied Forces have died in vain? In fact would all those German soldiers before Stalingrad have been wasted in a vain effort to appease Hitler’s less than enthusiastic quest for that War? Those Germans before Kursk, The Bulge, in Hungary, before Berlin? What would their sacrifice have meant?
Ah! Thy true colours tied to the mast! If The Wannsee Conference target had been reached, 11,293,300 Jews would have been Murdered. That would present a total of 100% Slaughtered. That these 425,000 Jews managed to Escape to various Countries, listed in English for those who can spell, how would you present the 4% figure. then when we tackle the actual number of those Jews who were Murdered? Are you with Me so far. The 6,000,000 Murdered Jews of The Holocaust. The 425,000 who escaped represents around 7% of that total. If we take this a stage further. Of the 11,293,300 targeted by The Wannsee Conference, 6,000,000 Jews of Europe, Men, Women, Their Children, Infants, Babies, Toddlers, just Young People, this would represent a Slaughter of over 53% of what Hitler had demanded! Are you still with me? As for spelling! How else does one spell denier?
Thanks Peter. It does seem to bring out the worst in People when all I wish to accomplish is a Testimony for the passing of 6,000,000 Jews who were Murdered in The Holocaust.
Sorry Patrick, I have deleted the comment you responded to. I’m aware this leaves your response looking a little out of place. Feel free to delete if and when you see fit.
I have sat back in the interests of ‘free speech’, allowing some commenters to dissent to your opinions. After all, you seem quite capable of defending yourself from criticism. However, the most recent ‘spate’ of negative comments included some defamatory comments, not just disagreeing with you, but making disgusting accusations. I shall continue to watch and have forwarded the IP address of the perpetrators to the relevant authorities.
Future commentors – keep within the realms of decency and your blog comment will remain in place. Make defamatory comments, or anything threatening or illegal and these will once more be sent to the authorities and your comment deleted.
Many Thanks
Peter
