Rudolf Reder Versus Kurt Gerstein: Two False Testimonies on the Belżec Camp Analyzed
Only two witnesses have ever testified substantially about the alleged Belżec Extermination Camp: The survivor Rudolf Reder and the SS officer Kurt Gerstein. For 40 years, Gerstein's testimonies were the main source of Western mainstream historiography in their attempt to reconstruct what transpired at the infamous Belżec Camp, where Gerstein said millions of Polish Jews were murdered with Diesel-engine exhaust gases in 1942. Critical, revisionist voices were raised about Gerstein's statements early on, spearheaded by a passing remark by Paul Rassinier in his 1961 book Ulysse trahi par les siens (Odysseus Betrayed by His Own), followed by a critical analysis of Gerstein's claims in his 196...
I Survived a Secret Nazi Extermination Camp
This is a harrowing and extraordinary story of the camp at Belzec. Unlike Auschwitz, Belzec is not a name we will all recognise but 700,000 Jews perished there over a few short months. One man, Rudolf Reder, escaped and gave an account of the camp. Reder's story is horrifying; his testimony, the horror of what inmates suffered, and how he managed to survive and escape is an important addition to Holocaust literature. He was the only postwar survivor of Belzec. His story is a little-known but remarkable and shocking firsthand account of how the SS organised death on an industrial and inhuman scale. Mark Forstater has tracked it down and it is the centrepiece of his book, a remarkable odyssey ...

Approaches to Auschwitz
Distinctively coauthored by a Christian scholar and a Jewish scholar, this monumental, interdisciplinary study explores the various ways in which the Holocaust has been studied and assesses its continuing significance. The authors develop an analysis of the Holocaust's historical roots, its shattering impact on human civilization, and its decisive importance in determining the fate of the world. This revised edition takes into account developments in Holocaust studies since the first edition was published.
Eyewitness to Genocide
In the 1950s, the policy of the West German law courts was to limit the number of Germans who could be prosecuted for crimes against humanity during the Nazi era, thereby preserving the old state elites who had been accomplices to the Nazi regime, among them the judiciary, 90% of whom had been Nazi party members. The number of Nazi criminals prosecuted in West Germany dropped throughout the 1950s. The Einsatzgruppen trial at Ulm in 1958 showed that many Nazi criminals held positions in the Federal Republic's administration. An investigation of the Nazi death camps was initiated by the Ludwigsburg Office in 1959. Focuses on three trials against former staff members of three camps: the Bełże...
From "Euthanasia" to Sobibor
The mass murder of the European Jews by Nazi Germany went hand in hand with the destruction of evidence attesting to this genocide. As Holocaust survivor Jules Schelvis puts it, "very few documents relating to Sobibor and the other death camps" remain. With its rich photographic imagery, the collection featured in From "Euthanasia" to Sobibor: An SS Officer's Photo Collection sheds new light on the Holocaust and other key aspects of Nazi extermination policy. The materials were compiled by Johann Niemann, an SS officer whose earlier participation in the Nazi "euthanasia" murders made him second-in-command at Sobibor and the first to get killed in the prisoner uprising of October 13, 1943. Th...
Rudolf Reder gegen Kurt Gerstein
Nur 2 Zeugen haben je Wesentliches über Belzec ausgesagt: Rudolf Reder und Kurt Gerstein. Beider Aussagen werden vorgestellt und gründlich analysiert, wobei sich zeigt, dass beide widersprüchlich, absurd und unzuverlässig sind.
Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust
This collaborative effort by a number of the world's leading experts on the Holocaust examines the question: how should Vatican policies during World War II be understood? Specifically, could Pope Pius XII have curbed the Holocaust by vigorously condemning the Nazi killing of Jews? Was Pius XII really 'Hitler's Pope', as John Cornwell suggested? Or has he unfairly become a scapegoat when he is really deserving of canonization as a saint? In Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust, scholars including Michael Marrus, Michael Phayer, Richard L. Rubenstein and Susan Zuccotti wrestle with these questions. The book has four main themes: (1) Pope Pius XII must be understood in his particular historical con...
