There’s a segment in Night(I think)where nazi’s are throwing babies into a fire or something. What was describe was so insane I was unable to understand it enough to picture it. For awhile you could just make up whatever insane thing you wanted an nobody would dare question it.
The nazis sucked out Jew blood and made frosties and then made puppet show with the dried out corpses!
Some of their the lies are so outlandish that even the various Holocaust Museums had to quietly backpedal on them.
Like the stories about Mengele surgically connecting people.
What did he actually do in terms of "connecting people"? Blood transfusions.
What a monster. Not the horrible, life-saving blood transfusions!
And the stuff about jew-soap wasn't even a new lie. They just recycled British propaganda from WW1 for that one, about the Central Powers supposedly turning fallen soldiers into soap. Which obviously didn't happen either.
Ironically, Night was the final piece that convinced me it didn't happen. The dude won a Nobel peace prize for his work against holocaust denial, yet his memior of two death camps (why do so many prisoners claiming to have been sent to a death camp also claim to have been transferred to other death camps?) doesn't even mention the poison showers. Instead, he claims people were thrown into a big flaming trench that was kept burning all day, during a fuel shortage.
Same, lol.
Ah some good old fashioned blood libel.
I remember reading that in school, twice, in English class.
What was incredible is that over and over in the book the author knows it all sounds like bullshit so he insists to the reader that it’s all true.
It’s been awhile since high school. Was night the one where the guy magically knew his wife was going to show up, had infirmaries in death camps, had the nazis force march them to hide evidences but also shot anyone who fell behind, this leaving evidence and pointing out why a death camp makes no sense? Just shoot them if you want them dead
