SOBIBÓR - Holocaust Handbooks

56 J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, SOBIBÓR
provide the defenders of the “Holocaust” story with any more information
than this.
The only work by any orthodox historian which commands a certain
respect (in view of its impressive bibliography) is Jules Schelvis’ Vernietingskamp
Sobibór, but as far as the central question of this topic is
concerned – the search for evidence of the mass exterminations – it is
no better than the pitiable products of charlatans like Stanis�aw Szmajzner
or Toivi Blatt. Like its predecessors, it provides not even a shred of
forensic or documentary evidence for such mass exterminations and relies
exclusively on testimony or on the “confessions” of defendants,
which, on closer inspection, turn out to be useless.
2.4. A Revisionist Article about Sobibór
Aside from Thomas Kues, 12 the U.S. writer Paul Grubach has been
the only revisionist to have seriously approached the problem of Sobibór
before the publication of the present book. In August of 2009 he
published an excellent article entitled “The ‘Nazi Extermination Camp’
Sobibór in the Context of the Demjanjuk Case.” 81
The starting point of Grubach’s argument is a statement by Elie M.
Rosenbaum, the head of the “Nazi-hunting section” of the American
Department of Justice:
“Thousands of Jews were murdered in the gas chambers of Sobibór,
and John Demjanjuk helped seal their fate.”
Grubach explains that there is no evidence for the existence of any
gas chambers at Sobibór and that it is thus impossible to indict Demjanjuk
for having pushed even a single Jew into these phantom installations.
Among others, he treats the following aspects of the question:
� The failure of demonstrating the existence of gas chambers by
means of archeological investigations.
� The contradictions in the testimonies regarding the killing method.
� The contradictions in the testimonies regarding the number, the size,
the structure and the capacity of the gas chambers.
� The contradictions in the testimonies regarding the disposal of the
corpses.
