Official Deaths at Auschwitz Camp "nearly 300,000" - Wochenschau 1948
THE OFFICIAL DEATH TOLL OF AUSCHWITZ CAMP: "nearly 300,000"
The WW2 'death camp" conspiracy theories took on a new life in the 1970's, probably for political reasons. Since then, they have received so much recirculation, that the original story had almost been forgotten. But here is the original description of the findings from the WW2 concentration camps. Many thanks to the diligent historians who have brought the truth back.
"BY CHANCE we have obtained a videotape of the German ARD Television broadcast, "VOR VIERZIG JAHREN" transmitted on the Third Programme on January 8, 1988. This contained the entire German movie newsreel (Wochenschau) released in Germany forty years earlier, on January 8, 1948, with the title 'Welt im Film'. This newsreel contained a report on the closing scenes of the Krakow Auschwitz Trial late in 1947.
translation
"IN KRAKOW the trial of the principal culprits for the Auschwitz concentration camp came to an end before a Polish court . The defendants were German camp guards or members of the German camp administration staff. Unheard-of atrocities against the camp inmates, particularly against female prisoners, were proved against them. Altogether nearly 300,000 people from the most different nations died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The court sentenced 23 of the accused to death, six to life sentences, and ten to lengthy jail terms; one was acquitted. The Auschwitz concentration camp remains as it stands today, as a monument of shame to the lasting memory of its three hundred thousand victims."
"Da ich sonst nirgends über diesen Prozeà gelesen oder gehört hatte", our informant tells us, "machte ich mir eine Video-Kopie." (He has asked to remain anonymous, as Germany's laws for the suppression of free speech may make his possession of such a film a criminal offence)."
German original:
"In Krakau ging vor einem polnischen Gerichtshof der Prozeà gegen die Hauptverantwortlichen für das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz zu Ende. Die Angeklagten sind deutsche Lagerwachen oder Angehörige des deutschen Verwaltungspersonals. Es wurden ihnen unerhörte Greueltaten gegen die Lagerinsassen nachgewiesen, besonders gegen weibliche Gefangene. Insgesamt kamen nahezu 300.000 Menschen verschiedenster Nationen im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz um. Das Gericht verurteilte 23 Angeklagte zum Tode, 6 zu lebenslänglichem Gefängnis, 10 zu längeren Gefängnisstrafen, einer wurde freigesprochen. Das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz bleibt als Mahnmal der Schande so erhalten, wie es heute steht, zum bleibenden Gedenken an seine 300.000 Opfer."
