Jew Killing WWII By Poles 200,000 Fake News Nixed Paulsson


Secret City: The Hidden Jews of Warsaw, 1940-1945, by Gunnar S. Paulsson. 2003

Upends the Media Narrative of 10% Jew-Escape Rates–The Foundation of the Fantastic “200,000 Fugitive Jews Killed by Poles”. Fact: No Consensus on Fugitive-Jew Escape Rates From Even the Best-Studied Large Concentration of Jews—the Warsaw Ghetto–Let Alone All of Nazi German-Ruled Poland!

The facts are clear. Based on a survey backed with statistics, Paulsson (p. 57) arrives at 5.5% [3.9%—7.6% at 95% confidence limits] fugitive-Jew escape rates (out of 490,000 total Jews ghettoized in Warsaw by the Germans). Note that this figure is well below the 10.0% claimed for ALL Poland by Jan Grabowski vel Abrahamer, as in his JUDENJAGD, which the media has widely quoted as fact.

THE QUALIFICATIONS NON-ISSUE

In a response to well-founded criticisms, Grabowski had dismissed those who are not Holocaust scholars as being in no position to criticize his claims. If so, then which of the widely-contradictory Holocaust scholars should we believe? Which one of them speaks EX CATHEDRA? As if that was not enough, other Holocaust scholars have presented figures that are even more contradictory, and even lower than Paulsson’s 5.5%! The next paragraph surveys them.

QUOTED WIDELY-CONTRADICTORY RATES FOR EVEN THE BEST STUDIED GERMAN-MADE GHETTO—THE WARSAW GHETTO

Starting with the 490,000 total Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, let us examine the numbers [with the percentages calculated and dubbed-in by me] of those Jews who went into hiding in Aryan Warsaw. Paulsson writes, “Estimates of its size vary widely. Raul Hilberg, on the basis of German reports, maintained that there were only 5,000—6,000 [1.0%—1.2%] in hiding in Warsaw, but all others have put forward much higher figures: 10,000—15,000 [2.0%–3.1%] (Emmanuel Ringelblum), 15,000 [3.1%](Shmuel Krakowski), 15,000—20,000 [3.1%—4.1%] (Joseph Kermish, Israel Gutman and others), 25,000 [5.1%] (Krakowski, elsewhere), to as many as 42,000 [8.6%] (Tatiana Berenstein and Adam Rutkowski) or even 50,000 [10.2%] (Marek Arczynski).” (p. 2).

IMPLICATIONS OF THE WIDELY-CONTRADICTORY FIGURES: WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

The facts are clear. Holocaust scholars are not infallible. They cannot even agree amongst themselves on the fugitive-Jew escape rates applicable to ONE ghetto in German-occupied Poland–and the best-studied one at that–let alone for ALL the ghettos COMBINED.

So why is the media repeating Grabowski’s fantastic 200,000 Jews killed by Poles figure as fact? Do facts matter, or is it only the Jewish-victimization anti-Polish story that counts?
