Fake Holocaust Survivors: Alter Wiener

I continue my coverage of so-called ‘Holocaust Survivor’ stories with that of Alter Wiener – yes said comedic name is real – who died in 2018 in Oregon.

To wit:

‘Wiener was born in 1926 in Chrzanow, Poland, a small town near the German border. Germans invaded his hometown in 1939, and Wiener, his stepmother and his brothers fled, The Oregonian/Oregon Live reported.

His father was required to stay behind to supply groceries from his business to Polish troops. When the family returned three months later, they learned the Germans had murdered him. Wiener was 13.

Wiener was soon forbidden from attending school and two years later, he was sent to a concentration camp. For three years, he moved from camp to camp, until the Russians freed him from Gross Masselwitz in May 1945.’ (1)

There isn’t a lot of detail to Wiener’s story here, but from what there is we can ask the obvious question of how on earth he survived ‘from camp to camp’ and not only survived but – going by the photo taken of him upon liberation in May 1945 provided with the quoted narrative – he was remarkably chubby and distinctly healthy for someone living in allegedly the most starved part of the Axis-controlled Europe.

The question is if he was so healthy then were the concentration camps always fed last or is the truth a bit more complicated than the traditional ‘Holocaust’ narrative.

My vote is on the latter.
