"The infamous Nazi death
camp"
that "wasn't a death camp"
|
The Jewish holocaust-story gets more and more on peoples wick. 50 percent of the English adult population claim that they have not heard of Auschwitz, despite the relentless Auschwitz-Propaganda, running 24 hours a day. It means, they simply got tired of it and refuse to know about it. Who wants to blame them when the contradictions and lies about Auschwitz are so horrendous and obvious that decent people getting sick if they have to listen to it. |

Half of adults have not heard of Auschwitz By Tom Leonard, Media Editor NewsTelegraph, London, (Filed: 03/12/2004)
Almost half the adult population has never heard of Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi death camp, according to a poll to mark the 60th anniversary of the death camp's liberation. More than one million people died in the camp in Poland during the Second World War, but 45 per cent of the 4,000 people questioned in the survey said they had never heard of it. Among women and the under-35s, the level of ignorance rose to 60 per cent. The poll was commissioned by the BBC ahead of a £3 million BBC2 series, Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution', which includes the testimony of nearly 100 survivors and perpetrators, including several former members of the SS. Laurence Rees, the series producer, said the latter needed considerable persuasion to talk. They expressed little or no regret. "Pretty much none of the former Nazis we interviewed are sorry," he said. "We expected them to say, 'I was only acting under orders', but they didn't. At the time they thought it was the right thing to do, which we found particularly frightening."
Rees, who made the critically acclaimed series The Nazis: A Warning From History, said he was "astonished" at the level of public ignorance about what he described as a "byword for horror". He said: "Auschwitz was the site of the biggest mass murder in history yet to these people the word means nothing." The six-part series uses dramatic reconstruction and computer graphics to show viewers how the camp operated but it will focus most on the motivation behind it. The BBC will screen a musical performance from the museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau on the anniversary in January, and a documentary in which a survivor revisits the camp. Other highlights of BBC2's winter season include The Ann Widdecombe Project, in which the Conservative MP becomes an agony aunt and attempts to solve family crises, relationship problems and work troubles. David Tibballs, the executive producer, said: "She had mixed results. But people responded very well to Ann. She offers very straightforward, practical advice and she tells it how she sees it." Michael Howard, the Tory leader, and his wife, Sandra, have granted behind-the-scenes access to the political journalist Michael Cockerell in Cockerell on Howard. BBC2 will risk incurring the wrath of conservative campaigners when it screens uncut Jerry Springer: The Opera. The West End production features transsexuals, a man in a nappy and liberal use of the c-word. |
