In this notoriously anti-Semitic video, narrator David Cole creates the false impression that there were no gas chambers in Auschwitz. He begins with the following statement:
David Cole's opening statement
It is an undisputed fact of history that, during World War II, the Germans ran a network of prison and labor camps, both in Germany and in the territories they controlled. Into these camps were sent Jews, prisoners-of-war, resistance fighters, Gypsies, and other people considered enemies of the Third Reich. The largest of these camps was the one called Auschwitz, located in Poland. Those interned at Auschwitz came from all over Europe and consisted of men, women, and children. Those able to work were used as labor for the German war effort. Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army in January of 1945. But that is where the consensus ends. Since the end of World War II we have been told repeatedly that many of these camps served a darker purpose: the genocide of six million Jews and the execution of five million non-Jews through the use of homicidal gas chambers in what is now commonly known as the Holocaust. The largest number of people are said to have been murdered at Auschwitz. But there are some people who maintain these claims of mass murder have never been proven. These people point to the lack of documentation other than the highly questionable and partially discredited evidence supplied by the Soviet Union at the Nuremberg Trials and the unreliable nature of the eyewitness testimonies, many of which have also been discredited. (For example, many former camp inmates, as well as American soldiers, still speak of 'gassing' at the Dachau camp in Germany, even though it is no longer held that any gas chamber was ever in use at that camp.) Still, the Holocaust is an event that has seemingly grown in importance since the end of the war, taught as fact...usually accepted without question. But how do we know it really happened? What 'proofs' are offered for those not willing to take history on faith alone? This video deals with, among other things, one of those proofs, one piece in a very large puzzle: the supposed gas chamber at the Auschwitz Main Camp.
The video continues with Cole, an admitted “Holocaust revisionist,” taking a private tour of the camp. While on the tour, Cole wears are yarmulke, claming that it will be easier for him to ask the difficult questions if the tour guides see they are coming from a Jew, which he claims to be.
While narrating, he explains that he “came to Auschwitz as a confirmed skeptic of the gas chamber story.” His narration throughout the tour shows his continued skepticism of the chambers. At one point he claims there were no official Nazi documents related to gas chambers.
Following his private tour, Cole interviews Dr. Franciszek Piper, chair of the Historical Department at the Auschwitz State Museum. He edits Piper’s statements and narrates once more his skepticism over gas chambers at Auschwitz.
For those who do not know the true details of the Holocaust and Auschwitz, watching such propaganda can be very powerful. Cole makes several claims that for the untrained person can be taken as fact, when the true history differs.
