Why do you lie so blatantly? You were involved in a thread just a
few days ago where your misstatements about Dachau were corrected
now you come back and lie about it *again*?

That was never a secret.

Oh, spare us your inveterate lying.

"Tell us who were there that it never happened"
Remarks of Felix L. Sparks given on May 8, 1995 at the
U.S. Holocaust Museum.
I have before me a document prepared by the Institute for
Historical Review, Costa Mesa, California. It can be purchased
from that so-called historical institute at a price of $2.00 for
ten copies. This so-called document professes to prove that the
Holocaust never happened. It asserts that there is no evidence
to prove that any member of the Jewish faith was ever persecuted
or died at the hands of the Nazi Government of Germany. Among
other things, it is claimed that gas chambers and crematoriums
were constructed after the war as tourist attractions. The
document contains a total of 66 questions and answers to prove
that the Holocaust never happened.
I beg to disagree with the authors of this totally sick and
false literature. I am in a good position to disagree. On the
morning of April 29th, 1945, I was a lieutenant colonel
commanding an infantry battalion of the United States 45th
Infantry Division, with the mission of breaching the defenses of
the city of Munich, Germany, in my assigned combat
sector. Shortly after I had launched an attack against the outer
defenses of Munich, I received an order to immediately proceed
to the Dachau Concentration Camp. I knew nothing about the camp,
nor had I ever heard of it.
Our first experience with the camp came as a traumatic
shock. The first evidence of the horrors to come was a string of
forty railway cars on a railway spur leading into the camp. Each
car was filled with emaciated human corpses, both men and
women. A hasty search by the stunned infantry soldiers revealed
no signs of life among the hundreds of still bodies, over 2,000
in all.
It was in this atmosphere of human depravity, degradation and
death that the soldiers of my battalion then entered the camp
itself. Almost all of the SS command guarding the camp had fled
before our arrival, leaving behind about two hundred lower
ranking members of the command. There was some sporadic firing
of weapons. As we approached the confinement area, the scene
numbed my senses. Dante's Inferno seemed pale compared to the
real hell of Dachau. A row of small cement structures near the
prison entrance contained a coal-fired crematorium, a gas
chamber, and rooms piled high with naked and emaciated
corpses. As I turned to look over the prison yard with
un-believing eyes, I saw a large number of dead inmates lying
where they has fallen in the last few hours or days before our
arrival. Since all of the bodies were in various stages of
decomposition, the stench of death was overpowering. The men of
the 45th Infantry Division were hardened combat veterans. We had
been in combat almost two years at that point. While we were
accustomed to death, we were not able to comprehend the type of
death that we encountered at Dachau.
Many of the prisoners were still alive, but many were dying as
we arrived and continued to die at the rate of over a hundred a
day for about two weeks after our arrival. There were over six
hundred troops from the 45th Infantry Division who were in
Dachau on the day of liberation, along with some troops from the
42nd Infantry Division. During the month of April, 1945, several
hundred other slave labor and death camps were liberated by
American, British and Russian soldiers.
Most certainly, there were well over a hundred thousand Allied
soldiers who were eyewitnesses to the unspeakable horrors of the
Holocaust, along with a considerable number of Holocaust
survivors. To those sick people in our society who say that it
never happened, I say: Tell us who were there that it never
happened, instead of trying to disseminate your bigotry and
hatred by total revision of the Holocaust history. Your efforts
will never prevail. This remarkable United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum in which we are all assembled today will always
stand as a living monument to remind us forever that caring men
and women must always actively resist those forces of evil which
practice intolerance, bigotry, hatred and slavery.
