10.4.2. American Jewish Yearbook
In 1943 the American Jewish Yearbook had the following to say on
the subject of the developments in Poland in 1942: 1071
“Throughout the year under review [1942], as in previous years,
scores of thousands of Jews were forcibly deported from their homes
in cities and towns. […] Among the more important of these transfers
of population was the expulsion of all but 11,000 of the Jews of
Cracow, who were deemed ‘economically useful’ and put into a
ghetto; those expelled, over 50,000 in number, were sent to Warsaw,
Lublin and other cities. The stay of those sent to Lublin was short,
for most of them were sent farther east, those remaining being
penned in a ghetto in one of the suburbs of the city. Also sent east
were most of the Jews who still remained in the western Polish provinces
incorporated into the Reich. […] There was also an influx of
German, Czech, Dutch and French Jews, forcibly sent into Poland,
either to the ghettos or the labor camps.”
These details are highly valuable in several ways and confront the
representatives of the orthodox version of history with insurmountable
problems:
1) Orthodox “Holocaust” teaching asserts that the alleged gassing of
Jews at Auschwitz began in February of 1942. Why were the Jews
deported from Cracow in 1942 not sent to this camp which, after all,
was only an hour’s drive away, but were shipped to Warsaw and
Lublin instead?
2) Likewise, the Jews deported to Lublin were not gassed in one of the
available Aktion Reinhardt camps, but were in their majority “moved
further east.”
3) “The Jews who still remained in the western Polish provinces incorporated
into the Reich” – except for those assigned to the �od� ghetto
– were allegedly murdered in gas trucks at Che�mno, if we are to
believe today’s official version of history. The American Jewish
Yearbook does not say anything about this, yet asserts instead that
the better part of these Jews was “moved to the East.” If they had
