Posted in Anti-Semitic, Holocaust Denial by Mark Potok on September 21, 2010

"You probably thought you knew a thing or two about Auschwitz: It was a nightmarish Nazi extermination camp in Poland where more than 1 million people were murdered, most of them gassed to death with Zyklon-B and then cremated. Dr. Josef Mengele performed horrible medical experiments on live humans there, including twins and those with blue eyes. At the end, as the Soviets closed in, the SS guards murdered thousands more as they marched starving survivors west.

But Carolyn Yeager wants to set the record straight.



The aim of the thoughtful Germans who ran the place actually was “reform, re-education and rehabilitation.” Inmates were taught trades there. Townspeople in the surrounding area saw life at Auschwitz as “luxurious,” what with the inmates’ “attractive red-brick sleeping quarters,” complete with “bunk beds with mattresses … flush toilets, porcelain-covered stoves for cozy heating, and double-paned casement windows.” The paths were “tree-lined,” there were flowers planted before every barracks, and the Nazis regularly showed movies to the inmates.

Yes, Auschwitz had an art museum, a library, regular concerts and sporting events, a “theater for music and drama,” a swimming pool (sometimes used for water polo) and a brothel for lonely inmates — all round, as Yeager writes, “a flourishing cultural life.” It also had two fine post offices because “the Geneva Convention rules, strictly followed by the Germans, ensured the sending and receiving of mail by all prisoners.” Why, the kindly Nazis even provided special pre-printed cards and letter forms! And their health care system was world class — after all, for the Nazis, “the health of the labor force was a prime concern.”

This, at least, is the view of Carolyn Yeager, a woman of leaden stupidity who took a walking tour of Auschwitz last year and decided that the accounts of thousands of victims, perpetrators, camp liberators and Nazi officials including Auschwitz’s most infamous commandant were all hogwash — a transparent ploy by post-war propagandists to say ugly things about caring Germans."

"She says she was a liberal for a time, “sympathetic to the plight of the coloreds,” but in the late 1990s began to read conspiracist literature and “learned the truth” about the takeover of the American monetary system “by mainly Jewish and foreign bankers.” She “let go” her fear of being called an anti-Semite. “Finally,” she writes, “I was drawn to National Socialism as a viable alternative, learning about its true nature as opposed to the lies I had been taught.”

So the mind of one Carolyn Yeager has been liberated. It’s a shame the same can’t be said of the millions murdered by people who think like she does."

Havin seen a concentration camp firsthand while stationed in Germany, all I can say is she's an absolute idiot for thinkin there was no holocaust

She has a good supply of one coat "happy yellow" paint! That **** covers up anything with a smiley face!

I wonder if she read an was told the sky is green she'd believe it without botherin to look up

You have to understand that to a true racist the holocaust never happened, in their mind a holocaust is a bad thing but in the case of Auschwitz what happened was just a solution.

She sounds like a prime canadite for the ACLU.Maybe Obama would like to have her on his team.Anti Jewish,Pro Nazi,distortion of history.Liberals love to defend the people who are working to destroy the Jews and the Christians past or present.


Watch out for her next book."Deep down,Terrorist just want love and friendship".

It is hard to bear the burden of the crimes of our brother/sister humans.

Denial seems to be a good way to avoid the ugliness.

We see it in most groups of people with evil in their history.

LOL...spin out of control, off the cliff and over the rainbow. Now they blame liberals instead of RW Christian Nutjobs for the Holocaust...I've seen it all!

this is by far the most incredulous statement I have ever read on this political forum..I have to say, that if this is representative of just a fraction of the public sentiment in the US, I tell you, I didnt leave soon enough!!...my country may be a banana republic, but Ill take it any day over what you guys have become...

The liberals support what the Nazi's did. They defend their actions with their "humanistic" views.

Liberals support and defend all those who killed Jews, all while denying that they do.

Liberals and Arabs go hand in hand...they both hate Jews, and they both deny the Holocaust.

Exactly!Thats why the liberals both here in mingle and elsewhere defend the actions of Islam and countries like Iran.

Yep. They whine about Nazi's killing people, but yet they support Muslims who are taught to hate and kill people, and who actually sided with Hitler in his "Final Solution" to rid the planet of all the Jews.

They still hate the Jews, they hate Israel and its right to exist.
They even hate their own kind because they want to see more Muslim/Arab presence in America....which will only lead to a war between the Muslims/Arabs and those who dont accept their hateful ways.

And of course you have idiots like the woman who wrote this book painting the Nazi's as just a bunch of guys who bend over back ward for the prisioners needs.Just like you have a bunch of people fighting tooth and nail to defend Irans nuclear program as "Peaceful energy".

Are you serious? LOL...we're down with Iran now?, before it was calling liberals Jew-hating Nazis...the very things their ilk tend to defend...It's the "blame the other guy for the mistakes and idiocies" defense.

people who rounded up folks and killed children and women for their religion , I do not support


people who follow a book with examples of both terrible and beautiful things others have done , but choose the beautifual things as their example,,,,, I do support( I am one of them)


people who follow a book with examples of terrible and beautiful things and choose the terrible,, I do not support

She sounds a lot like David Duke.

Well she is a Socialist and Obama is very good friends with a couple Socialists, William Ayers anmd Bernie Sanders.

NATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY...

I love the left wings revisionist history lessons..

If you support Muslims in any way, shape, or form, then you support the killings of Jews and Christians.
There is no other alternative, as ALL Muslims share the belief of a world without Jews and/or Christians....it does'nt matter how "peaceful" they are, they ALL share that hatred against others.

in your underexposed, underresearched, and unproven opinion
