all those numbers r prolly just deaths...most weren't killed...they just died from typhoid or what not...along with germans and everyone else too...
yep - i remember that lecture, which is why i brought this up.HM-PuFFNSTuFF wrote:Jules, fwiw Finklestein thinks Raul Hillberg is the definitive scholar on the Holocaust. (this gleaned from reading and from his lecture)
more here:Raul Hilberg, author of the classic THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN JEWS, is the world's leading authority on the Nazi holocaust. A Brazilian journalist, Carlos Haag, questioned him about my new book. Below is Hilberg's reply:
Today he is rather unpopular and his book will certainly not become a best seller, but what it says is basically true even though incomplete. It is more a journalistic account than an in depth study on the topic, which would need to be much longer. To say that the Holocaust has been used in order to secure Palestine for the Jews is nothing new and we know how important it was in the creation of Israel. Nevertheless it will be a bitter yet necessary reminder to the community. He is also right when he argues that nobody talked about this topic in the USA: in 1968 a well known local encyclopedia asked me to write an article on the Holocaust and they only wanted me to talk about Dachau and Buchenwald because they were not interested in Auschwitz; these topics were censored. I agree with him that people overestimate the number of survivors and that the concept itself is ill-defined - it includes not only the victims of the camps - and it is true that there an exaggerated number of compensation requests are made. There is something radically wrong in this exploitation because it is an issue that should not be used to make money and I must confess that I found the whole affair with the Swiss banks disturbing. The Jewish-American community is very prosperous and there is no reason for them to ask the Swiss for money. That seems obscene to me.

goddam you're stupid. so how many Jews died of typhoid and how many non- Jewish Germans died of typhoid?Freakaloin wrote:i think the number is closer to 1-2 million...but most died from typhoid...soviets died more...

not that it has any bearing on the numbers, but doctors couldn't do a damn thing about typhoid back then - although nutrition would have had an impact.HM-PuFFNSTuFF wrote:Were the imprisoned, half starved Jews able to go to a doctor?Freakaloin wrote:i think the number is closer to 1-2 million...but most died from typhoid...soviets died more...
i'm waiting to see geoof's numbers with a source. let's see if the same proportion of germans to total german population died.Geebs wrote:not that it has any bearing on the numbers, but doctors couldn't do a damn thing about typhoid back then - although nutrition would have had an impact.HM-PuFFNSTuFF wrote:Were the imprisoned, half starved Jews able to go to a doctor?Freakaloin wrote:i think the number is closer to 1-2 million...but most died from typhoid...soviets died more...
oh good call on making this thread thenFreakaloin wrote:it doesn't really matter how many died when it cums to those numbers...but i'm sure 80% of the deaths were from disease and what not...
