Jews Angry because New Budapest Holocaust Museum Doesn’t Blame All Hungarians


DECEMBER 6, 2018


Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum has broken off all cooperation with the Hungarian government regarding the building of yet another Holocaust Museum in Budapest—because the new museum doesn’t blame all Hungarians for events during the war.


The “House of Fates” Holocaust museum in Budapest.


According to a report in the Times of Israel, Israeli officials are “negotiating” with the Hungarian government to try and “reach a compromise over a new Holocaust museum in Budapest” which they claim “minimizes its countrymen’s role in the killing of half a million Jewish citizens during the Holocaust.”

The report says that “some members of the Hungarian Jewish community, as well as Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial center, have boycotted the project due to the historical account presented by the museum on events leading up to and during World War II.”

In a commentary published by The Times of Israel in September, Robert Rozett, a senior Yad Vashem historian, wrote that the concept of the museum was to “distort” the history of events during the Holocaust.

“Visitors to the House of Fates are to be shown and taught that, except for a tiny, criminal and fanatic minority, the citizens of Hungary were essentially blameless for what was inflicted upon their Jewish neighbors,” he noted.

“To this patently misleading distortion, the concept’s planners have added a statistically disproportional over-emphasis on rescue attempts on behalf of Jews, by Hungarians. Thus, it is implied, that Hungary was actually a nation of rescuers. This is a grave falsification of history.”

In other words, the Jews want the Hungarians—all Hungarians—to be blamed for the holocaust, and not just Germans. This is identical to the similar demand by the Jews on Poland that that all Poles also be blamed for “anti-Semitism” during World War II—even though the historical record shows clearly that Jews themselves formed the major part of the police forces in the Jewish areas.

As pointed out by Holocaust scholar Peter Winter, author of the best-selling The Six Million, Fact or Fiction, the claim that half a million Hungarian Jews were “killed by the Nazis” is also open to question.

In the chapter of his book dealing with Auschwitz, Winter wrote the following about the Hungarian Jews:

One of the more https://thesixmillionfactorfiction.b...auschwitz.html

commonly quoted “mass gassings” supposed to have been carried out at Auschwitz was that of the alleged liquidation of over 400,000 Jews deported from Hungary between May 15 and July 9, 1944. It is claimed that these Jews were all “gassed” and cremated immediately upon arrival.

This claim is patently false for a large number of reasons, including the already stated impossibility of the workings of the “underground gas chambers” to process so many people.

In addition, the combined crematoria facilities at Auschwitz in June 1944 could never have disposed of 400,000 corpses in an eight-week period. The theoretical maximum capacity of the Birkenau crematories was 1,248 corpses per day, and for the entire 55-day period when Hungarian Jews were arriving at the camp, the maximum theoretical cremation capacity would therefore have been about 68,640 bodies. Even this figure is excessive, because the ovens often broke down and had to be repaired.

The question that then arises is where did the Hungarian Jews go? The answer to this question was actually provided as early as 1964, when Polish historian Danuta Czech revealed, in the first edition of her book Auschwitz Chronicle, that there was a so-called transit camp (Durchgangslager) in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

This transit camp served as a temporary holding area for prisoners who were then sent to work at munitions factories and labor camps elsewhere in the Reich.

As Czech noted:

“In mid-May 1944, when the mass transports of Hungarian Jews start arriving in Auschwitz, the young, healthy, and strong Jews of both genders are dispersed for a time as so-called depot prisoners to various barracks at Birkenau, but are not recorded in the camp registers.


They are accommodated in Camp B-IIIc [sic], where young, able-bodied female Jews are kept; in the recently vacated Gypsy Family Camp B-IIe, where young, able-bodied male and female Jewish prisoners are accommodated who eventually are taken to the other camps; in Camp B-IIb, which is empty since the liquidation of the Theresienstadt Family Camp; and finally, in Section B-III, still under construction, known as ‘Mexico’ to the prisoners and also intended for female Jews.
