Gulags Like Nazi Death Camps Anonymous


The Dark Side of the Moon. With a preface by TS Eliot., by Anonymous. 1947

Polish Deportees in the Interior of the USSR in 1940-1941. Some Gulags Were Almost as Deadly as the Nazi Death Camps

This book (review based on 1946 edition) is probably the first English-language book on the subject of Polish deportees. In the Preface, poet T. S. Eliot summarizes the Polish sacrifices and contributions to the Allied victory in WWII, and puts the Polish experience in the broader context of the barbarization of Europe because of the Nazis and Communists.

LARGE NUMBERS OF DEPORTEES SUPPORTED BY THE FACTS–NOT EMPTY SOVIET CLAIMS

This work is not for the fainthearted. After providing historical background, it describes the horror faced by Poles loaded into trains and deported into the interior of the Soviet Union. The privations were frightful. The conditions on the trains were impossible. There were commonly 50-60 people per rail car (p. 61), not the 25 cited by certain Russian revisionists, who are trying to downgrade the number of Polish deportees to only a few hundred thousand.

LIKE THE NAZI GERMAN DEATH CAMPS, THE DEATH RATE OF SOME GULAGS APPROACHED 100%

Part of the Holocaust supremacy is the argument that none of the gulags (Soviet camps) were as bad as the Nazi death camps. In fact, there were. Only the deaths were slower.

In certain Soviet camps, including those in the Arctic Circle, Novaya Zemlya, and Kolyma, virtually no one could survive more than 2-3 years of captivity. (p. 21). Other camps are described as follows: “Dysentery and tsinga are endemic. Out of a camp of 10,000 men, some 2,000 die every year, a considerable proportion of these from exhaustion.” (p. 120). The authors recount the gruesome effects of scurvy on the human body. (p. 108). Those who were too ill to work were frequently shot on the spot. (p. 119).

THE FALSEHOOD OF POLAND ONCE ATTEMPTING AN ALLIANCE WITH NAZI GERMANY

From 1935 through early 1939, the Nazi German government tried to entice Poland to an alliance against the Soviet Union—a treacherous request met with uncompromising refusal. (p. 40).

LITERATE JEWS IN A SEA OF ILLITERATE RUSSIANS

Various bits of historical information are included in this book. Did you know that, in 1914, 80% of the tsarist Russian nation was illiterate? (p. 16). This means that the Jews, nearly all of whom were literate, had a big advantage over the Russians. This, in turn, highlights the importance of the Zydokomuna in the years before, during, and after the Russian Revolution.

LIKE THEN LIKE NOW: POLONOPHOBIA SERVES AN AGENDA

The authors mention Poland’s earlier history, and how the Partitioning powers had created a self-serving unfavorable view of Poles in the west. The authors conclude: “The purpose is always the same, just as the formulae are the same, because the source never changes; and this purpose is to carry out, to justify and to make permanent the annulment of Poland’s place in Europe; and, by doing so, to throw Europe herself to the thrust of one New Order or another.” (p. 30). It is sobering to realize that this is also happening today, with attacks on Poland for her patriotic and religious traditions, by Euro-enthusiasts, internationalists, Holocaust Industry profiteers, cultural Marxists, Lewaks, and others with their goals at Poland’s expense.
