J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, SOBIBÓR 269 Be��ec “opened toward the outside.” 806 When it comes to Be��ec’s second gas chamber building, however, key witness Rudolf Reder has it that the corpses were pulled out through doors that “were slid open with wooden handles.” 807 The alleged second phase gas chamber building at Be��ec was supposedly erected between mid-June and mid-July 1942. 808 By then the alleged first gas chamber building at Sobibór had already been in operation for two months. Are we to believe that Wirth, the inspector and chief designer of the alleged Aktion Reinhardt “death camps,” had the gas chamber doors at Be��ec changed from hinged to sliding ones, 809 while aware that doors of the latter type were impeding the extermination process at Sobibór? Sereny comments that Franz Stangl’s “different versions of events are not too important from the point of view of facts.” 810 But what should one say about the fact that the former Sobibór SS men are contradicting themselves as well as each other when it comes to important details of the alleged mass gassings? Contrary to what mainstream Holocaust historians and propagandists may believe, such contradictions are fatal to the Sobibór gas chamber allegation, as this rests exclusively on such flawed eye witness evidence. 8.5. Euthanasia and Aktion Reinhardt Yitzhak Arad summarizes the Holocaust story of euthanasia in the following words: 811 “At the beginning of World War II, Hitler signed the following order: ‘Reichsleiter Bouhler and Dr. [Karl] Brandt [Hitler’s personal physician] are charged with the responsibility for expanding the authority of individual physicians, with a view to enable them, after the most critical examination in the realm of human knowledge, to administer to incurably sick persons a mercy death.’ 806 E. Kogon, H. Langbein, A. Rückerl et al. (eds.), op. cit. (note 46), p. 108. 807 Rudolf Reder, Be��ec, Fundacja Judaica Pa�stwowe Muzeum O�wi�cim-Brzezinka, Kraków 1999, p. 124. 808 Y. Arad, op. cit. (note 49), p. 73. 809 Ibid., p. 73, 183. 810 G. Sereny, op. cit. (note 357), p. 111. 811 Y. Arad, op. cit. (note 49), p. 9, quoting PS-630.
270 J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, SOBIBÓR The man directly in charge of the euthanasia operations was Viktor Brack, a high official in the Chancellery of the Führer and subordinate to Bouhler. The T4 [812] organisation established several institutions throughout Germany. The mentally ill destined for elimination were placed in hermetically sealed rooms, into which carbon monoxide was introduced; they died within a short time. Some victims were killed by injections of poison. All bodily remains were cremated. A request from Himmler to Bouhler in the summer of 1940 enlarged the euthanasia program to encompass sick concentration camp detainees from the camps inside Germany under SS supervision. Some of the detainees were Jews. They were removed from their camps to the euthanasia centers and were murdered there. The code name for this operation was 14F13. As a result of internal pressure within Nazi Germany, Hitler ordered the termination of the euthanasia program at the end of August 1941. However, sporadic killings of small groups of ‘incurable victims’ continued in some euthanasia institutions after this date.” A short while laster Arad notes: 813 “The most important group of Operation Reinhard came from the euthanasia program. They brought with them knowledge and experience in setting up and operating gassing institutions for mass murder. They filled the key posts involved with the extermination methods, the planning and construction of three death camps – Be��ec, Sobibór, and Treblinka – and the command over these camps. Viktor Brack gave evidence in his trial after the war about the transfer of the euthanasia personnel to Operation Reinhard: ‘In 1941, I received an oral order to discontinue the euthanasia program. In order to retain the personnel that had been relieved of these duties and in order to be able to start a new euthanasia program after the war, Bouhler asked me – I think after a conference with Himmler – to send this personnel to Lublin and place it at the disposal of SS Brigadeführer Globocnik.’ The first group of euthanasia personnel, numbering a few dozen men, arrived at Lublin between the end of October and the end of December 1941. Among them was Kriminalkommissar of Police 812 Acronym deriving from Berlin address – Tiergartenstraße 4 – of the headquarters of this program. 813 Ibid., p. 17.
