Holocaust Denial Arguments: Himmler's deportation proposal of 1944 in exchange for goods.

submitted by HibikiBlackCaudillo from self.conspiracy

In 1944, Himmler proposed to exchange one million Jews (children, women, old people) for "10,000 trucks, a thousand tons of coffee, and a bit of soap."

Joel Brand conducted the negotiations for the Jewish side. He first went to Istanbul and from there to Cairo. However, the Allies raised obstacles against it. Joel Brand was interned by the British authorities without having had the possibility of accomplishing his mission; and the State Department forbade Dr. Schwarz, the director of the American Jewish Joint Committee, to deal with enemy subjects.

Joel Brand succeeded in transmitting the German proposal to Lord Moyne, then British Minister of State for the Middle East, who answered him:

"And what am I supposed to do with a million Jews? Where shall I put them?".

In the meantime, the real concentration camps were in Yugoslavia, where Croats gathered Orthodox Christians with the sole intention of killing them. Yet, nobody talks about this and everyone promotes jews as the victims of WWII.

One of the first laws aproved by Lenin was the anti-Semitism act, by which criticizing Jews was punishable by death.

I am sure there is plenty of Allied propaganda we have been indoctrinated with regarding the Nazi's, but this is problematic enough on its own that it doesn't really increase my sympathy for them
