inmate who was there for the
third time (after escaping twice.)"

Flyer states:
"Told a US congressional
hearing that 2.74 mil. died at camp,
and gave a numerical breakdown by
country."
SOURCE: Here is a photo of a booklet associated with a House of Representatives Hearing, found at the UC Berkeley Library (Doe Stacks):
Here is the beginning of the Rajzman testimony:
And here is the specific passage at the very end of his statement, page 125:
The point is that the number which historians today believe were killed at Treblinka is 750-850,000 which is 2 million less than what Rajzman said. So how could he have breakdown by country? According to the story, I don't think any came from Russia, yet he lists 1,000,000 coming from Russia. If he was there, how could he make that mistake?
5. Flyer states: "Red line denotes tree branch fence."
SOURCE:
Belzec, Sobibor,
Treblinka: The Operation Reinhard Death Camps
By Yitzhak Arad
Published by Indiana University Press, 1999
Map on page 39, shows a barbed wire fence. I've highlighted it with
red. This inner fence being intertwined with tree branches is mentioned
on page 40. Originally the flyer said the fence was just tree branches,
but I caught that the flyer didn't mention the barbed wire , and as
of 5/5/9 I've amended the flyer to say "The cremation area is surrounded
by a fence made out of tree branches and barbed wire, but tree branches
are flammable." The updated version is downloadable at holocaustdenialvideos.com.
The video One Third of the Holocaust discusses this fence.
6. The water well is shown on the map in Ytzhak Arad's book on page 39. And here's a passage from Arad's book where someone gets shot because they stopped at the well for a drink. However no one would have stopped at this well for a drink because the well would have surely been contaminated. According to the story, it would have had half a million bodies buried close to it:
And here's Arad's book, page 289 describing the day of the escape, and mentioning the regular occurence of getting water from this well:
7. The Haircut
According to the story, the number of people gassed in one transport varied, but Yitzhak Arad mentions 60 train cars being broken up into 3 groups (20 cars each) 4 Km from the camp on page 81 of his book, with 20 cars then taken to the deathcamp at a time. With 100 people per car, that would be 2,000. Assuming 1,000 are women, and assuming that long hair weighs 1/4 of a lb, as is mentioned on this website, we could put the hair of 1,000 women at roughly 200 lbs. At 75 lbs. of hair per mattress (eventhough no human hair mattresses were ever found) we get 3-4 mattresses for a transport. It is a ridiculous assertion that the Germans would put such a laborious bottleneck in a killing operation for the pittance benefit of 3-4 mattresses. Particularly considering that the Jews supposedly brought their valuables, and so the camp was constantly awash in millions of dollars of cash, precious metals, jewels etc.
The way to explain the haircut is that it was a delousing measure, which then makes the tree branch fence make sense: it was a modest structure to keep people who were in line to go into the delousing shower, from seeing nude people exiting the delousing showers. Delousing involves a lice free "clean side" and a not deloused "dirty side" which suddenly makes the separate exit and entrance of the gas chamber make sense as well. The tree branch fence separated the "dirty side" from the "clean side" and points to the notion of a deathcamp Treblinka being based on a paranoia over a delousing operation. This is an assertion that has been put forth by Samuel Crowell in his book "Gas Chamber of Sherlock Holmes" and by Carlo Mattogno and Jürgen Graf in their book, Treblinka.
Samuel Crowell mentions the paranoia and apprehension over delousing that even American soldiers had, by quoting Kurt Vonnegut's book Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut writes,
"The naked
Americans took their places under many showerheads along a white-
tiled wall. There were no faucets they could control. They could only
wait for whatever
was coming. Their penises were shriveled and their balls were retracted.
Reproduction
was not the main business of the evening.
An unseen hand turned a master valve. Out of the showerheads gushed
scalding
rain. The rain was a blowtorch that did not warm. It jazzed and jangled
Billy's skin
without thawing the ice in the marrow of his long bones.
The Americans'
clothes were meanwhile passing through poison gas. Body lice and
bacteria and fleas were dying by the billions. So it goes."
Vonnegut, Kurt, Slaughterhouse Five, Dell, New York:1988, p. 84
In a similar vein, we find that Jews were paranoid of showers in Ben Shephard's book, After Daybreak. The Liberation of Belsen, 1945. We read about a group of Jews going to Sweden for rehabilitation after being liberated from the Belsen camp:
"On 19
June 1945 the first Red Cross train, with 350 stretchers-
borne and fifty sitting cases on board, left Belsen for the German
port of Lübeck. There the patients had to be washed and fumi-
gated all over again before they could be put on board ships. An
American relief worker who had not worked at Belsen could not
understand why 'it was difficult to get many of these people to
take a steam bath voluntarily.' Many of the women especially,
Marvin Klemme noted, 'would let out such screams as they were
led into the place, or as the steam was turned on, that one would
have thought that they were entering a slaughter house.' Eventu-
ally, 'a Jewish doctor explained that some of this fear resulted
from a sub-conscious feeling that they were about to enter some
kind of torture chamber.'"
After Daybreak.

It's likely the Jewish Underground deliberately created the Treblinka myth, taking advantage of such paranoia as described in the two passages above.
8. The Photo.
This photo is taken from the UCLA History Department website showing commencement photos. I was just trying to find a general photo of history professors on any history department site, but the best I could find was this. Because it doesn't show only professors, I had to change my flyer wording to "members." The photo shows the head of the department who doesn't deal with holocaust studies and a student who doesn't deal with holocaust studies either. They are, however, members of the history department. It would have been better and more appropriate, had the photo shown Saul Friedlander perhaps. He is a prominent UCLA history professor who promotes an obvious fraudulent Treblinka witness, Kurt Gerstein. However I didn't want to specifically target anybody and couldn't find a group photo which showed Friedlander. I wanted the photo to denote History Departments in general as the caption clearly states. One thing I like about the photo is that it shows a celebratory self-congratulatory pomp juxtaposed with the havoc in the mideast that a historical myth has created.
