Arguably the greatest Revisionist of all, and unquestionably the most prolific,
Carlo Mattongo, has yet another new book out. This time on Nazi Death Camp:
Chelmno, where 150,000 to 1,135,000 of the six million Jews were holocausted.

Cooking Jews alive with water and lime
Mieczyslaw Sekiewicz testifying at the Eichmann trial in 1961
Mattongo writes about and quotes from, the October 27, 1945 testimony
of Chelmno sonderkommando Mieczyslaw Sekiewicz, a Polish Jew, and
veterinary surgeon, on the alleged massacre in the Wygoda woods.
of Chelmno sonderkommando Mieczyslaw Sekiewicz, a Polish Jew, and
veterinary surgeon, on the alleged massacre in the Wygoda woods.
"The Germans had allegedly prepared two pits in those woods and had forced the Jews to strip naked and get down into the larger pit, whose bottom was covered with lime (Krakowski 2007, p. 24):
“Then – the witness continues – a truck appeared on the side of the road which stopped on the path at the edge of the clearing. I noticed that there was something on the truck, like tubs for washing. The Germans then started up a small engine, which was clearly a pump, and connected it via a tube to one of the tubs. Two Gestapo agents held the pipes and began to sprinkle the Jews herded into the pit with a liquid. I think it was water, as it appeared to be, but I cannot be sure. During the pumping operation they connected the tubes to each of the other tubs. People began to cook while still alive, and this was certainly due to the boiling fresh lime. […] This all went on for two hours.”
A truly original execution system: Death by showering with water and a disinfectant! To be sure, by the 1940s the vast majority of the eastern European population had never seen a shower in their lives, so the witness’s consternation is comprehensible. But how could the more cosmopolitan western historians interpret this as a method of extermination?"
