Remarkable Holocaust Nonsense #24: Death by Urine Gas
Some of the best sources of early ‘Holocaust’ claims we have are the three ‘Black Books’ which were published between 1943 and 1946 (‘The Black Book of Polish Jewry’ (1943), ‘The Black Book of Soviet Jewry’ (1944) and ‘The Black Book’ (1946)) because they show a large number of early ‘Holocaust’ ‘witness’ claims that did not survive the sieve applied to them by ‘Holocaust’ historians from the 1960s when they began to realise – however tacitly - that many of these ‘witness’ claims were either physically impossible and/or significantly contradicted other ‘witnesses’.
Thus, when we consult the three different ‘Black Books’ we find significant omissions from the later historical narrative. One such occurs when we are told how at the Gurs concentration camp in France the following occurred:
‘On November 11, 1942, the whole of France was occupied by German troops. Now the Jews were without any protection. There was terrible panic among them.
They were poisoned in the camps. In trucks which were meant to hold twenty people, the Germans placed a hundred. Quicklime was placed on the floor about ten inches deep. The doors were sealed hermetically. These people had to pass their water – that would start the lime cooking. Gas and fumes came up and choked them to death. Bodies were thrown into special crematories on the border between Germany and Poland and burned there. The Germans said it was the most economical method. Their motto was, “Kill Russians with bullets – Jews with gas.”’ (1)
Now it is unclear from this report – which derives from the ‘eyewitness testimony’ of a jew named Abe Furmanski (presumably in 1945/1946) who had settled in Oswego, New York but was originally from Poland – (2) where this alleged gassing of jews with quicklime in the back of trucks took place. As the Gurs concentration is mentioned as being where it seemingly took place but then were told it happened on ‘the border between German and Poland’ with the trucks concerned having apparently driven with their human cargo of jews from the Gurs concentration camp near the city of Pau in southwestern France to the German-Polish border, which is circa 23 hours’ worth of continuous driving on today’s roads.
This added to the fact that the trucks were ‘hermetically sealed’ means that there would have been in fact little need for the quicklime since the jews inside would have been dead anyway from a lack of oxygen within an hour or so. There would be little need for the quicklime which the jews then ‘were forced’ to ‘make water’ (i.e., urinate) on to cause it heat up and give off unspecified toxic gasses at unknown and uncontrollable concentrations (remember it is entirely contingent on jews urinating on the quicklime to activate the process).
Further if you take a truck meant for twenty people then 0.8 feet deep (i.e., 10 inches) of quicklime at the bottom of it then try and stuff a hundred people in it. Then one wonders how this is achieved given you are not only making this truck hold five times the amount of people it is supposed to carry, but also several kilograms of quicklime all of which is then ‘hermitically sealed’ together for a circa 23-hour continuous journey to the Polish border.
This just doesn’t sound remotely plausible, does it?
This is especially so since all this alleged rigmarole was supposed to be ‘the most economical method’ according to Furmanski when it uses large amounts of quicklime and fuel for no reason as well as seems to have been physically impossible to do.
Thus, we can safely label Furmanski’s claim as yet another bit of ‘Holocaust Nonsense’.
