- Before agreeing to accept Bergers proposal, the DIN assassins
decided to check him out with a Jewish American Army Sergeant named Meyer
Tugend, who worked for the CIC in Frankfurt. Berger checked out, so Judah
Klein was sent to negotiate the final terms of the agreement between Berger
and DIN.
-
- Berger told Klein that Konrad Schumann was among some
800 SS men being held for interrogation at a POW camp in Muenster.
-
- Berger claimed that Schumann possessed false identity
papers which described him as being a member of the Panzer Lehr Division.
He claimed that an additional 200 men were being held separately at this
same facility, because it was alleged that they had served as guards in
concentration camps, or were ex-members of the Einsatzgruppen. It was these
accused 200 men that Berger proposed to "give" to the DIN assassins
in exchange for Schumann. Berger was too well known at the facility, so
he proposed this scheme to the DIN squad:
-
- He would give Klein papers from the French war crimes
commission along with a forged temporary transfer request for Schumann.
He also proposed to give him an official armoured vehicle, some French
army uniforms, and a hundred pounds of explosives. He had stolen all of
these items weeks before and assured his accomplices in crime that they
could never be traced.
-
- DIN was delighted with the arrangements and accepted
the plan with enthusiasm. Four days later, Klein and four other assassins
drove up to the compound, armed with the forged warrants, the explosives
, and boxes of wine.
-
- The explosives were diverted toward the area which allegedly
held the 200 ex-camp guards. The wine was supposedly a delivery for the
Americans. The plan worked like a charm. Almost as soon as they drove out
of the gates with their handcuffed victim, the bombs detonated and the
force of the explosion was so great that it nearly blew them off the road.
Body parts of the murdered were strewn all over the camp.
-
- The Jews retreated to the safety of a Jewish Displaced
persons camp, which served as the base for their murderous activities.
The camp was under the protection of the UNRRA. Schumann was handed over
to Berger, who tortured him all the way to a little town named Sondershausen.
-
- Berger gagged and tied his victim in the manner utilized
by serial killers and left him on the floor of the vehicle, which he parked
in the middle of the town square before dawn. Berger thereupon exited the
vehicle, locked the doors, and lit the fuse to a half case of dynamite
hidden in the trunk. In this manner he murdered a man alleged to be Schumann.
Publicly the murder was hushed up by the authorities and simply referred
to as a "terrible accident."
-
-
-
- Months later, the French authorities were able to trace
the disappearance of the stolen items to Berger, who was ignominiously
released from service in the French army. He was not indicted for any of
the murders which he himself committed or was responsible for arranging.
As for DIN the taste of blood left them thirsty for more. Word of their
bloody exploits reached the ears of the Jewish survivors still residing
in the DP camps throughout Germany, but, instead of denouncing the band
of murderers to the authorities, they decided to assist them! A simple
denunciation was all it took to set the wheels of murder in high gear.
-
- Every Jew with a grudge denounced Germans for whom they
held a grievance.
-
- DIN did not bother to question the veracity of any claim.
The process by which people were denounced and then slated for assassination
was relatively uncomplicated.
-
- The survivors" took their information to the headquarters
of the Sheerit Hapleetah, the Jewish DP organization, where the organization
would then forward the complaint to the military authorities.
-
- That was the "official" version; unofficially,
the reports went to one of DINs "plants." There were dozens of
Allied agencies dealing with "war criminals", and in most of
these were Jews who were ready to lend a hand to the shadowy group of avengers.
Materials were secretly copied from files, photos of the accused were passed
on to the agents of DIN, along with complete personnel records.
-
- Many of these files came from the Red Army, as in the
case of "Ivan the Terrible."
-
- The Red Army passed these alleged "authentic"
documents on to two Poles who were appointed to prosecute accused war criminals
on behalf of Poland-Tadeuz Cyprian and Jerzy Sawicki.
-
- A Jewish lawyer working for Sawicki photographed the
materials and sent them along to his masters in DIN. Every man kidnapped
was told he could save his life if only he would lead them to others "bigger"
than himself. Some of the victims, out of fear for their lives, implicated
other individuals. The Jewish assassins broke their promise and murdered
not only the person in theircharge, but also any other individuals named
by their victim.
-
- Soon DIN developed a "hit list" - "targets",
"marks," similar to those composed by the Mafia. It was when
this master list was finally completed that they referred to their grisly
conspiracy as "the Hunting Season." To execute the plan, DIN
became better organized, despatching hit squads to various locations throughout
Germany. These were divided into four zones, and the squads were accommodated
with a list of secret Jewish operatives whom they were to contact for additional
information. The contacts also supplied them with fake ID, uniforms and
sometimes "get-a-way" vehicles. They were given insignia from
the various armed forces.
-
- If the items could not be obtained from a Jewish plant,
then they were taken by stealth or by force. Vehicles were easier to obtain
in the British Zone, as many members of the "Jewish" Brigade
were stationed there. In fact, there was NEVER an instance where the Jewish
Brigade ever refused its services to the assassins. Thus, this hit squad
achieved a high degree of organization. People simply disappeared off the
streets-even in broad daylight. Victims were simply whisked away, like
Eichmann, never to be seen again. The methods of killing varied. Most of
the victims were garroted-Mafia style.
-
- Others were simply tortured to death. Distraught families
searched frantically for their loved ones, who were by then lying dismembered
in a shallow grave. Often "suicides" were arranged. In fact,
suicides" were rather common-place. According to DIN, they murdered
the following individuals:
-
- 1. SS Brigadier General Dr. Wilhelm Albert allegedly
because he assisted in evacuating the Lodz Ghetto.
- 2. SS major Dr. Wilhem Altenloch, because he supervised
the deportation of some 30,000 Jews.
- 3. SS Captain Hans Bothmann, who was a member of the
Prinz Eugen Division.
- 4. SS Colonel Dr. Hans Geschke, Chief of Security Police
in Hungary. Geschke received a commendation from Himmler who enjoined him
to "keep your honour unsullied just as you must protect the honour
of others and defend the defenceless."
- 5. Paul Giesler-Gauleiter of Munich.
- 6. SS General Odilo "Globus" Globocnik - (Who
is still listed as "whereabouts unknown").
- 7. SS Brigadier General Dr. Ernst Grawitz-chief medical
officer of the SS.
- 8. SS Colonel Professor Albert Hohlfelder.
- 9. SS Lieutenant General Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Krueger
- Higher SS and Police Leader in the General Government.
- 10. SS Lieutenant Kurt Mussfeld-supervisor of Auschwitz
crematorium no 2.
- 11. SS Major Adalbert Neubauer.
- 12. SS Major Karl Puetz - Chief of the Security Police
at Rovno.
- 13. SS Major Christian Wirth. (Listed today as whereabouts
unknown).
-
- In short, practically any one who could have shed light
on the Jewish policy of the Third Reich was murdered! Denunciations and
"documents" supplied by the Soviet Union assured that each and
every victim would die a very unpleasant death. Within two months, these
self-appointed death squads had murdered at least 200 individuals.
-
- Soon, whether out of greed or fear, the DIN agents decided
to relocate their base of operations to ALT-AUSSEE, where it was rumoured
that Himmler had hoarded millions of dollars worth of gold. The killers
now became treasure hunters. However, being unsuccessful in this venture
they soon reverted to what they did best-murder. Their next move was to
lie in wait outside of the Salzburg POW camp. There they once again left
a trail of blood.
-
- They allegedly ambushed and killed Colonel Fritz Suhren,
former Commander of Ravensbrueck,, along with approximately 20 other individuals
whom they claimed were former commanders or members of the Einsatzgruppen.
In spite of their overwhelming success in "getting away" with
multiple murders, or perhaps BECAUSE of this fact, the DIN members soon
became more enterprising. Steeped in blood though they were, their appetite
for the red liquid could not be satiated to their satisfaction. Not ENOUGH
blood had been shed. Not enough individuals had been butchered.
-
- The assassins talked it over, and soon decided to abandon
bloody work in favor of a new plan, which they dubbed "Tochnit Aleph-Plan
A-the plan to murder 1.5 million German civilians. The real author of Tochnit
Aleph remains unknown to this day.
-
- No one would take credit for it publicly and no one broke
the OMERTA of silence, but the details are well known. The idea behind
the plan was to poison the water supply of a 1.5 Germans, much as Jews
were once accused of poisoning the wells of Europe.
-
- Death in this case would come out of the turn of a faucet.
Only the most ruthless members of DIN were chosen to carry out this heartless
task. Once the assassins were chosen, the band split up and the remainder
of the group fled to Palestine. The hard core of assassins sat down to
work out the details. They identified four trouble-spots in implementing
their nefarious plan, according to the author of "Forged in Fury":
- 1. The poison had to be odorless, tasteless, colourless,
and hygroscopic- capable of maintaining fatal virulence when mixed in any
amount of water.
- 2. The had to select a city or cities, target areas relatively
free of Jews.
- 3. They had to place their agents in a position where
they could introduce the poison directly into the water supply.
- 4. They had to work out an escape route to Israel.
-
- Their headquarters were stationed in Augsburg, with the
man called "Israel" co-ordinating the effort from that vantage
point. His assistant was Hannah "Little Sister" Baum-a tried
and tested member of the inner core of assassins. She, like Emma Goldmann,
who would not flinch from planting bombs to assassinate the innocent, was
to be Israels "Chief Lieutenant."
-
- Once the dirty deed was accomplished, the fugitives planned
to flee from Europe by way of Marsailles. Berger was to supply the necessary
papers. Two members of the "British" Jewish Brigade were appointed
to serve as "technicians." It was these last two who chose the
targets: MUNICH, WEIMAR, NUREMBERG, and WANNSEE.
-
- Symbolism obviously played a major role in their selection.
The two engineers trained the men who were to serve as plants and agents
to distribute the poison in the water supply of the doomed cities.
-
- Though it took some time and intricate maneuvering, their
agents were soon prepared to carryout the foul deed in at least two cities-MUNICH
and NUREMBERG-one city being the birth- place of the National Socialist
Party and the other being the domain of Julis Streicher and the site of
the Nuremberg rallies-a German city which, perhaps more than others, symbolized
the essence of National Socialism.
-
- A total of 1,380,000 German souls became their intended
target.
-
- Malachi Wald, Avraham Becker, and Judah Klein were chosen
to obtain the lethal poison, but it was once again Victor Berger who provided
the first essential leads in carrying out the plan. Berger, through his
wartime association with French bacteriologist and chemical warfare expert
Professor Pasteur Valery- Radot, arranged to meet him for dinner one evening
and liberally plied the unsuspecting man with drinks.
-
- By the time the evening was concluded, Berger had all
the information he required: A couple of men, armed with a few suitcases
full of a variety of choice compounds, and with access to bakeries, dairies,
or bottling plants or the reservoirs, could in theory at least leave the
cities a graveyard. The professor indicated two possible choices: a compound
of an irritant poison unaffected by heat or the baking process, and which
would cause rapid paralysis of the respiratory system, or one could spread
Bubonic Plague-the Black Death of the Middle Ages. Berger jotted everything
down and returned to DIN headquarters.
-
- The plotters were now ready for their next move. It was
clear that a scientist was needed. One who could be relied upon. Clearly,
they needed a Jew or number of Jews sympathetic to their plans. They needed
Jews motivated by revenge.
-
- The answer seemed clear to those present: The search
for a bacteriologist must be undertaken in Palestine, either at the medical
school of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, or among the Jewish scientists
at the research institute in Rehovot, around the Zionist leader, Chaim
Weizmann, who was himself one of the worlds great bio- chemists.
-
- The decision being made, Malachi Wald was despatched
to Palestine to make the necessary arrangements. Wald entered the country
equipped with false identification papers describing him as a Palestinian
born building worker named Eleazar Ben-Chaim.
-
- His mission was to make contact with Jewish resistance
cells in Palestine and enlist their support, but things had changed while
he and his fellow assassins were in the midst of their machinations in
Europe, Wald was informed that a new group was being formed which would
supplant the DIN organization, as it was felt that DIN had served its purpose,
and should now be dissolved to hide all traces of the criminal murder squads.
-
- Not that the work would be discontinued, no-the assignment
would simply be transferred to new agents operating under a different guise.
But Wald was not satisfied with this proposal. He for one did not plan
to sit idly by and watch all of DINs plans go down the tubes.
-
- The decision had already been made to murder over one
million German civilians, and that is what he intended to do-with or without
the Haganah. Wald decided to approach Chaim Weizman on his own initiative.
No record exists of this meeting between the respected bio-chemist and
future president of Israel and the terrorist spawned out of the Ghettoes
of Eastern Europe. No two people could have been less alike, yet, Wald
was able to conjure up demons to frighten the old man who had lived through
so much and fought so hard to achieve a dream which was once thought to
be an impossible proposition.
-
- According to Wald, the venerable old man seemed to wince
and shrink back with grief and pain. Finally, he is alleged to have said,
"If I were you, having lived as you, I would do what you will do."
-
- Thereupon, Weizman, according to Wald, gave him the name
of a bacteriologist, allegedly one Berman, and signed a message of introduction
for him.
-
- According to Wald, a man honoured as none other by the
Jewish people had given backing to the depraved plan hatched by the conspirators
back in Augsburg. Wald did indeed meet with the chemist, who has since
been identified. This chemist did indeed supply Wald with the lethal vector
necessary for the implementation of his plan. Wald had one more item to
fill on his agenda before embarking for Europe: a meeting with the heads
of the Haganah in Palestine. Wald informed them of DINs plan as well as
having received what he believed to be the blessing of Chaim Weizman. He
had but one request of Haganah organization: that they furnish succor in
assisting the conspirators to flee from Europe to Palestine once their
mission was accomplished.
-
- One month later, Wald was summoned to Haganah headquarters
where he was informed that he was to be smuggled out of Palestine and into
Egypt, where he would pose as a Polish officer making his way back to Europe.
-
-
-
- Once there, he was to contact Haganah agents who would
escort him to DIN headquarters. From that point on, they were on their
own. Haganah agreed to smuggle the assassins out of the country once the
plot was executed. Armed with the poison, Wald set out as arranged, but
was apprehended by the British authorities while in transit and thrown
into gaol. Thus the dream of murdering one million Germans vanished with
the click of British manacles around the wrists of Wald. How did the British
discover the plot? No one knows for certain and no one is claiming the
credit.
-
- Wald himself believes the Haganah betrayed him. He completely
discounted the notion that Weizman was the informant because Weizman referred
him to the chemist who supplied him with the poison. On the other hand,
it is possible that the French were the informants. Perhaps Professor Valery-Ridot
was not as drunk as Victor Berger had thought.
-
- This explanation seems to be plausible when we consider
that it was the French who discovered Bergers involvement in DIN in the
first place, the consequences of which precipitated his dishonourable discharge
from the French armed forces. Needless to add, none of these crimes have
ever been accounted for and not one of the murderers was ever brought before
the bar of justice to answer for their horrible crimes. When one considers
that, according to the Bible, 77,000 Persians were once slain upon the
mere complaint of a Jew that one man was planning the destruction of the
Jewish race in Persia, one wonders why those who planned to murder one
million Germans should go unpunished and continue living a life of ease
and comfort in Israel today.
-
- As a curious footnote to the above, Haganah called the
remaining assassins back to Israel once Wald had been apprehended. The
remaining DIN members refused to comply with the order. Like the tales
about the Devil leaving a foul stench before being induced to depart from
tormenting the living, the DIN assassins were not about to retreat without
spilling more blood in their wake.Thus, Victor Berger reappeared and proposed
TOCHNIT Beth-Plan B.
-
- By this time, he knew quite a bit about poison and even
had access to some. The group selected a target to expend their murderous
energy-an Interrogation Center of the Joint Allied Control Center outside
Nuremberg. The facility intrigued them, for it contained more than 8,000
Waffen-SS prisoners of war.
-
- Not even a small segment of this massive contingent of
prisoners ever served in either the Einsatzgruppen or the camps. They learned
which German bakery supplied bread to the camp, using flour allocated by
the American army. The group insinuated their agents into the bakery, and
there infused the bread destined for the prisoners with lethal poison.
Berger himself had supplied the poison. A watchman was murdered so the
criminals could carry on the working of basting the bread with lethal doses
of poison. A dog was also killed to quiet its barking. A third man strangled
to death on a gag which had shoved down his throat by Hannah Baum. They
commandeered a truck and delivered the poisoned loaves to the camp. Once
the bread was distributed, they fled into Czechoslovakia, and from there,
into Israel. Their poison had worked rather well.
-
- More than 700 German veterans had died, most of them
young men and boys, none of whom had anything to do with the deportation
and incarceration of Jews.
-
- Over a thousand more were seriously ill, and a good number
of them were expected to die as well.
-
- Fate caught up with Avraham Becker, who was eventually
killed in the Negev desert. Judah Klein eventually lost a leg to Arab armour.
But in 1952-DIN was reformed by Malachi Wald to embark upon a new task
of destruction. Most of the old gang was alive and still propelled by the
same hate which motivated all their dastardly murders in previous years.
New faces were brought into the Brotherhood of Murder-primarily by Victor
Berger.
- Former SS Captain Fritz Hartjenstein was the first to
fall victim to their blood lust. He was run down in a street in Paris.
- Undoubtedly they were also responsible for the murder
of SS officer Jochen Peiper, who was gunned down outside his country home
in France, but not before putting up one hell of a fire-fight, in which
one or more of the assassins may have been injured.
- This group was also undoubtedly responsible for the mail
bomb which was sent to Alois Brunner, Eichmanns aide, which cost him his
hand.
-
- In fact, DINs criminal activities now encompassed the
globe. Whenever and wherever it was possible, deaths were arranged to appear
"accidental" or made to appear as "suicides."
- Thus, SS Lieutenant Hans Groetner was found dead in a
roadside ditch.
- Hans Stuckart, once in charge of Jewish Affairs in Berlin,
met a similar fate.
- Otto Abetz burned to death in a car when something went
wrong with his steering wheel on a busy highway.
- Theo Dannecker "hanged himself" in his home,
as did SS Lieutenant Kurt Mussfeld.
- Other alleged suicides were former Gauleiter Jacob Sprenger
and Georg Puetz, a former Gestapo officer, who curiously was alleged to
have committed suicide by injecting kerosene into his blood-stream while
awaiting a minor operation in the hospital!
-
- The bloodied hands of DIN even may have reached into
the German prison system, where accomplices could have been bribed or otherwise
solicited in furthering the criminal plans of the assassins.
-
- Thus, Franz Stangl and Richard Baer both perished while
in prison under mysterious circumstances.
-
- In short, every officer who might have been able to shed
light on the Jewish policy of the Third Reich mysteriously perished-with
the exception of two-
- Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele.
-
- Mengele, of course, died a natural death, but not for
want of DINs repeated attempt to locate him.
-
- However, even Rudolf Hess perished under suspicious circumstances.
However, Eichmanns case was special-he was wanted alive for a show trial
in Israel, and for this purpose DIN which had actually LOCATED Eichmann
in Buenos Aires, proposed a deal to the Israeli government. Instead of
killing him, they would hand him over to Israel for a show trial.
-
- Wald went to Isser Harel-former chief of Israels Security
Service-"SS," if you will-and put an "if" to him. "IF"
we could lead you to Eichmann, could you take him to Israel; and would
you then hand him over to us for our purposes?" Wald received no direct
comment from Harel, but Ben Gurion agreed to his proposal.
-
- In fact, DINs original plan was to torture Eichmann and
his entire family to DEATH.
-
- In fact, knowing what we know today, is it any wonder
that Eichmann agreed to whatever his captors wanted him to say at the trial?
Curiously, Eichmanns youngest son, who was still an infant at the time
his father was illegally abducted, recently met with his fathers captor
and swallowed the line of his fathers alleged guilt hook, line, and sinker,
which caused his eldest brothers to reprimand him, which was reported in
an article in PEOPLE Magazine not long ago.
-
- Undoubtedly, he had no idea what DIN had in store for
his mother, brothers, and himself had his father not made his own ultimate
sacrifice to save the lives of his family.
-
- In fact, the incessant harping and whining of certain
alarmist Jewish groups, such as the Wiesenthal Center and the Jewish run
offices of the OSI, concerning the subject of bringing accused Nazi "war
criminals to justice, appears to be more than a bit hypocritical in light
of the fact that the murderers of DIN and Stalins Slave Labor Kapos are
still living foot-loose and fancy free under the protection of the Israeli
Government today.
-
- Postscript; After completing this article, I received
a mailed copy of an article by Michael Freedland, a writer for the English
Newspaper, The Observer.
- In this article, which appeared on March 15, 1998, and
which bears the caption, "The Jewish Executioner," the journalist
interviews former DIN assassin Joseph Harmatz. Harmatz has now decided
to break his decades long self-imposed silence and has just written a book
about his experiences as an assassin. Harmatz is proud and unabashed concerning
his role in countless murders.
- After discussing his role as chief bread poisoner, he
gloats with satisfaction, "I felt very good." Though he makes
a number of interesting revelations, a number of facts appear to have been
purposely downplayed by both the author of the article and Harmatz himself.
-
- Lets examine what this writer believes to be the most
relevant portions of the article: Harmatz reveals that the original plan
conceived by DIN actually encompassed the idea of poisoning six million
German civilians in retaliation for the six million Jews allegedly killed
by the Nazis.
-
- According to Freedland: Joseph Harmatz has kept silent
about these events for 50 years; now he has spoken for the first time.
And hes done so without the slightest suggestion of regret at the mass
killing he planned and administered. Yet Harmatz DOES speak of regrets.
-
- For instance, he remarks: We were the Avengers. Unfortunately,
we did not do more. Our ultimate intention was to kill six million Germans,
one for every Jew slaughtered by the Germans.
-
- Indeed, Freedland observes: Harmatz draws none of the
usual distinctions between Germans and Nazis.
- "I put them all together," he says. "And
I don't feel any differently today. When I read of the Queen Mother unveiling
the statue to Bomber Harris who was responsible for the bombing of Dresden,
I was very pleased."
-
- Freedland discloses that Harmatz was much more open in
his interview than he was in his soon to be published book, "From
the Wings."
-
- In fact, Harmatz feels comfortable and at ease in his
apartment in the fashionable suburb of Ramat Aviv, a block away from the
home of the assassinated Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin. It seems that bloody
assassinations still follow him around to this day.
-
- Briefly recounting Harmatz life story, he was born and
raised in Vilna, once known as the "Jerusalem of Lithuania."
Like so many young, idealistic Jews of his generation, Harmatz, an atheist,
was a member of the Young Communist organization in his native country,
a fact which could not have endeared either him or his associates to the
National Socialists or Lithuanian population in general.
-
- When the war broke out, Harmatz and his accomplices,
all fellow Jews, were give arms by the Soviets.
-
- Harmatz was denounced to the Gestapo by a native Lithuanian
who had had enough of the new "Socialist experiment."
-
- Fortunately for Harmatz, he was able to escape the clutches
of the Gestapo and submerge himself into the mass of Lithuanian Jews living
in the Ghettoes. It was then that Harmatz made contact with Jewish partisan
groups, supplied with guns and materials from the Soviet Union.
-
- According to Harmatz: Many of our people had come from
camps of armed forces where they would work. Through our connections with
the Communist party-we would buy guns. (Other sources such as Isaac Kowalski
claim that guns, ammunition, and supplies were all distributed by the Soviets
free of charge to their agents behind the lines.)
-
- Seemingly confirming the oft expressed suspicion of the
Gestapo that the ghettoes served as bases for all types of illegal activities,
Harmatz admits: I would let people who had guns through the gates.
-
- A guy called Baruch Goldstein would come through an entrance
to the ghetto, which was very high up. When he had guns, he would raise
his finger. So we started pushing and shouting and he would sneak in with
the guns under his clothes.
-
- We were instructed in the use of arms, pistols, and grenades.
Hounded by the Gestapo, the partisan groups fled to the forests 40 kilometers
south of Vilna. There he met up with the likes of Abba Kovner. Harmatz
states that after the war, it was the Jewish ghetto Police who became the
first victims of assassination, yet, curiously, he also states that he
and his fellow assassins knew "nothing about concentration camps"
and had "assumed" that the Jewish population of Vilna had been
taken to the nearby town of Polnar and shot!
-
- Apparently, this baseless charge was also repeated by
Kowalski. The Jewish police, who assisted in the deportation measures,
were also "assumed" to have been guilty of collaboration with
the Nazis. In a rare moment of pure candidness, Harmatz expands upon the
role of the so- called "Jewish Brigade."
-
- He says, Some of their members would, before long, personally
execute SS personnel. In one operation, dressed as military policemen,
they "took in for questioning" all the members of a Nazi cell-and
strangled them-except for one SS man who was thrown, alive, off a cliff.
-
- Curiously, it was also members of this same "Jewish
Brigade" who captured SS General Hans Pruetzmann and Heinrich Himmler,
who were later officially classified as "suicides."
-
- Even more astounding is the fact that Harmatz next claims
to have heard about the horrors of the concentration camps after the war.
Astonishingly, his own mother, who was one of those deported from the Vilna
Ghetto, and who was assumed to be among the "dead" at Polnar,
SURVIVED and was reunited with her son!
-
- Yet, Harmatz found nothing incongruous about all of this,
for his two brothers perished during the war. How they perished is unknown
and for all we know they, too, could have died while fighting with partisan
groups.
-
- However, the very fact that Harmatzs mother survived
should serve as a clarion call to exterminationists, for Isaac Kowalski
writes in his three volume work on Jewish Resistance to the Nazis that
it was precisely people like Harmatz mother who were slated to be immediately
killed by the Nazis!
-
- However, these facts were of little concern to Harmatz
for they would have interfered with his plans of revenge against all Germans
who dominated his murderous fantasies based upon real and imagined persecution
under the Nazis. This being his objective, he immediately sojourned to
Israel after the war to enlist support for his cause.
-
- There, he discovered, were two schools of thought-one
school, dominated by David Ben Gurion, wished to exact revenge against
the Germans by economic means-through reparations- the other, by killing.
In fact, both means were apparently decided upon.
-
- Now, at this point, both the Jewish journalist, Freedland,
and Harmatz, discuss the role of Chaim Weizmann in the plan to murder over
one million German civilians-and both seek to downplay the role of the
elder Jewish Statesman and leading Zionist of his time. They claim that
Weizmann was not told in detail about the plan to murder millions of human
beings in Germany; they claim he was told only about the plot to poison
the bread of SS men, but this contradicts what the leader of the plot,
Abba Kovner had to say on this issue.
-
- According to the author of "Forged in Fury,"
he writes: "Wald asked him then, "They who did this to these,
and to the thousands and the millions, they who did it, who applauded it
or allowed it, shall they not now pay?
-
- That which they have sowed, shall they not reap?"
According to Freedland, "Harmatz says he has no idea why Weizmann
agreed to cooperate." All we do know is that enough poison was hidden
in cans of condensed milk to thoroughly wipe out the populations of whole
cities.
