jack said:I just find the speeches rather chilling in their manipulativeness and their intent. The whole thing seems to be done with a wink and a nod. Like on the outside, to the outside world it was one thing. But the interior propagand is remarkable.
But jeez, the body evidence alone. How do you account for that.
The crematoria, the showers?
The medical rooms? The mass graves?
The log books?
jack said:The deportation theory is interesting. Since everything is so meticulously documented, you know...not one of those trains was ever late, where did the deportation take place? Who took them?
Those were interior trains, coming into the country, not out.
I don't know or care about "lampshade theory" but there's a large empirical body of medical evidence, like for example, how we learned about human cold and heat tolerances. Most doctors swore off the medical advances the nazi's professed in their seven years of human experimentation, but some didn't.
Anne Frank didn't exist? Or disavowed her writing in public?
You should check out, The Gray Zone cute little film.
The first step in the investigation is to determine if the text is consistent within itself. The Diary contains an extraordinary number of inconsistencies.
Let us take the example of the noises. Those in hiding, we are told, must not make the least sound. This is so much so that, if they cough, they quickly take codeine. The "enemies" could hear them. The walls are that "thin" (25 March 1943). Those "enemies" are very numerous: Lewin, who "knows the whole building well" (1 October 1942), the men from the store, the customers, the deliverymen, the agent, the cleaning woman, the night watchman Slagter, the plumbers, the "health service," the accountant, the police who conduct their searches of the premises, the neighbors both near and far, the owner, etc. It is therefore unlikely and inconceivable that Mrs. Van Daan had the habit of using the vacuum cleaner each day at 12:30 pm (5 August 1943). The vacuum cleaners of that era were, moreover, particularly noisy. I ask: "How is that conceivable?" My question is not purely formal. It is not rhetorical. Its purpose is not to show astonishment. My question is a question. It is necessary to respond to it. That question could be followed with forty other questions concerning noises. It is necessary to explain, for example, the use of an alarm clock (4 August 1943). It is necessary to explain the noisy carpentry work: the removal of a wooden step, the transformation of a door into a swinging cupboard (21 August 1942), the making of a wooden candlestick (7 December 1942). Peter splits wood in the attic in front of the open window (23 February 1944). [...]
