First They Came by Martin Niemöller

Many years ago I heard a poem that I found very emotive and powerful. It took me years to find out what it was. Eventually I discovered that it was called First They Came by Martin Niemöller. To this day it remains my favourite poem.

Apparently, most of the accusations were false, so they were indeed speaking the truth when they said that they didn't know. The documentary,

One Third of the Holocaust

seems to have debunked the "official story" on that topic.

@ArgentineShamrock

Sure, but keep in mind that they were mainly "targets" for emigration. Don't you know about the Haavara Agreement? Watch:

"Adolf and Controversy"

Keep in mind that those promoting the "officially sanctioned story" are part of the same criminal gang of zionists, financiers and central bankers who now exploit your country and mine. Hope my comment is helpful...and no, I'm not a "nazi" (whatever that is). Cheers!

Have you see the short film "Then they came for me'', very good

@LibertaerUeberAlles Of course you are not "aware". Can't be a denier and accept just 1 piece of evidence, don't ya think? The "famously faked photos" excuse. Look at the Einsaztgruppen videos. But, you will say those are all created in Hollywood. I could deny Hitler by using your mentality. All photos, videos, recordings, statements of him and by him -FAKE! See the resemblence with your reasoning? Probably not. Closed minds can't grasp anything new.

@jrwel14

I'm not aware of any records or pictures of innocent people, especially women and children, being mass-executed. There are, however, some famously faked photographs which depict this. You can search them at, e.g., IHR and CODOH.

That said, there was an eastward mass-deportation, as you mentioned above. But, as I mentioned, the story is still being written; very little is known about their fate. It is possible that some were executed by rouge elements, but we don't know for sure.

@LibertaerUeberAlles The point was that the neo-nazis tried to justify shooting the men, women and children. And, deny the nazis killing jews. By saying that those being led to the pits to be shot. Were not jews, but communists. Another told me that because the woman's foot was off the ground. That, it was a composite photo. Another said it was a Russian dressed as a German. Another said it was a good 'ol German protecting the mother and child. By shooting at a bad ol Russian. have heard it all.

@jrwel14

No, they weren't communists. The "Star of David" was the idea of Zionist Jew, Georg Kareski, to differentiate Jews from Germans. It was quite logical, considering that Germans wore Swastikas. For some nice information, google this easy-to-find page:

"Jewish Support for Adolf Hitler"

The true story of the Baltics is still being written. In any case, you have to view it against the backdrop of genocidal Judeo-Bolshevism. Then u better understand y the Christians were upset w/ the Jews.

@LibertaerUeberAlles So honest jews are ones who dispute the Holocaust? Would you even care about the Holocaust if the jews were not involved? Never saw 1 that would. Ever looked up the Ninth Fort Masscares of 11.41. The valley of death? The Einsatzgruppen killing squads. Had 1 tell me that the photos of people wearing the star of david. Were NOT jews, but communists!

"it's certain that you are an "anti-semitic and biggot"

Actually, I like honest Jews, and I'm thankful to those who refute the colossal lies told by their ethno-supremacist leaders. Perhaps the honest ones realize, that acknowledging real history is the only way we can solve real problems. Perhaps this is something that you are not yet prepared to do. As for me being a "bigot"? Hmmm... I notice that you direct your intolerance at "you people." But, I guess I'm the "bigot."

[jrwel14]

@LibertaerUeberAlles Not a Nazi? Doubt it. But,it's certain you are an anti-semitic and biggot. Saw one third the Holocaust. It's a joke. Just as Cole, Zundel and Leuchter. And, before you start calling me a jew. You people call everyone that. I am not. I'm Swedisg, Danish and surprise, German.
