The Socialist History Society does Auschwitz…
I have written several articles pointing out firstly the significant over-representation of jews in the Socialist History Society and secondly the fact that jews regularly get a mention (and a sob story or two) in the ‘Socialist History Society Newsletter’. In the issue for October 2010 we find yet another mention in the article on pages 8 to 10 entitled ‘Searching for Albert!’ by the jew David Horsley. Horsley reveals himself to be a member of the bandit tribe by boldly declaring on page 8 that his mother Judith Salinger was jewish. Horsley does not mention whether his father also happened to blessed with Yahweh’s holy ichor, but in halakhah Horsley would be indisputably considered to be a full member of Israel (i.e., biologically jewish and therefore an Israelite) irrespective of his father’s origins.
This is of interest to us in that it confirms previous suggestions I have made that the tribe is also heavily overrepresented in the membership of the SHS as well as in its officers if we are to judge by the last several issues of the Socialist History Society Newsletter, which have revealed at least one different jew (and often more) to be a prominent member - or supporter - of the SHS per issue.
The article itself is largely a personal narrative of Horsley’s search for his grandfather’s - one Albert Salinger - grave and the ‘truth’ about how Albert spent his last years in the Third Reich (he died on the 8th of December 1941 in Berlin and was buried in the jewish cemetery there [and no the gravestones weren’t made into a road a-la ‘Schindler’s List’]). Horsley is rather puzzled when he comes across something of a contradiction to the established account in that he does not understand why a jew should have been allowed to have been buried in a jewish graveyard without harassment and that graveyard to have survived the alleged attempt by the Third Reich - with the SS as the supposed executors - to wipe out all of jewry.
Horsley also notes an interesting fact that he discovered in his research on page 9 in so far as: ‘the Nazis kept that cemetery and a Jewish hospital open all through the war years’. This seems to have caused some discomfort to Horsley who had previously believed that the jews had just been hauled off en-masse to Auschwitz and gassed without much ceremony. After all why on earth would you keep two such institutions going - which would inevitably consume large amounts of precious scarce resources - in the war years if there weren’t substantial numbers of jews in Berlin to use the facilities?
Horsley solves this intellectual mid-life crisis by simply pretending it doesn’t exist and implies that it was all a conspiracy on the part of the nasty Nazis to deceive the jews so they could gas them and goes on to compare the policies of the Third Reich to that more common Marxist bête-noire: Apartheid. In an attempt to nod to the established orthodox rigmarole of ‘survivor accounts’ Horsley declares that his mother Judith didn’t want to talk about the ‘holocaust’ because her mother - who remains nameless throughout - was ‘gassed’ at Auschwitz. How Horsley knows this is uncertain, but we may assume it is just assumption based on popular perceptions of the ‘holocaust’. However this nod to orthodoxy doesn’t stop Horsley’s underlying surprise and apparent doubts at having been effectively lied to about the fate of Berlin jewry by his teachers coming across to the reader.
We cannot help but left wondering if Horsley is going to say the Kaddish ahar Hakk’vura (the mourning/burial prayer) over his grandfather’s grave or whether he is going to declare that Alfred was an example of Kiddush Hashem (a jewish martyr)…
