Jew Killing PostWWII Also Jews Kill Jews Lubling


Twice-Dead: Moshe Y. Lubling, the Ethics of Memory, and the Treblinka Revolt, by Yoram Lubling. 2007

Not Only Poles Sometimes Killed Holocaust-Surviving Jews: Jews Also Sometimes Killed Holocaust-Surviving Jews. We Never Hear About That

Yoram Lubling is the son of Holocaust-survivor Pinchas Lubling and the grandson of Treblinka-revolt leader Moshe Y. Lubling. He traces the forgotten past of his grandfather, and how even Holocaust-promoting institutions have been slow to acknowledge the eldest Lubling.

The Zydokomuna is not far below the surface. Although this is supposed to be a book about the Shoah in general and the Treblinka Revolt in particular, author Lubling goes out ot his way to make frequent positive mentions of Marx and Communism. (e. g., p. 3, 70, 77, 173).

GENIUINE (AS OPPOSED TO COMPELLED) GERMAN REPENTANCE FOR NAZISM. YEAH, RIGHT

A number of Holocaust survivors are mentioned that committed suicide because Germany went virtually unpunished (p. 5). They aren’t the only ones who would’ve liked to see Germany incinerated!

HOLOCAUST FICTIONS RECOGNIZED

The author is candid (pp. 12-19) about the Wilkomirski fraud, the unexpected semi-fictional character of Steiner’s TREBLINKA, the made-up “Ivan the Terrible’s” assassination as initially claimed by Treblinka-survivor Rosenberg (p. 126), etc. According to divergent survivors’ accounts, the Chorazycki-suicide-and-aftermath is one that is conspicuously omitted, has the Goldjuden murdered in a pit, or has the Goldjuden tortured and (unbelievably) released by the SS. (How many accusations against Poles, in Holocaust survivors’ testimonies, likewise rest upon hearsay or fabrication?)

A NEW AND RATHER IMAGINATIVE POLONOPHOBIC FANTASY

Lubling repeats standard Polonophobic generalizations (see Amazon Wish List: Exposing Polonophobia…). I have read numerous Jewish accounts, and the one about Poles throwing urine from the rooftops, on Jews being herded to the death trains (p. 85), is a new one to me. So the Germans would allow Poles to stand on rooftops in such situations. Laugh. And, bearing in mind that Germans often shot at Poles merely glancing at them from partly-shuttered windows, what Pole, no matter how anti-Semitic he is supposed to be, would attempt something as overt as staring at a German operation from a rooftop?

IN DENIAL ABOUT HOLOCAUST SUPREMACISM

Lubling scorns any notion of Jewish “triumphalism of pain” (p. 104). But surely it is not tax-supported Museums of Polish Suffering that can be found in every major US city, and surely it is not the Polokaust that is required by law to be taught to American children in many US states.

THE STANDARD DOUBLE STANDARD

Jewish collaborationists are at least partly exonerated by Lubling based on the traumas of German rule. So why not adopt a single standard, and do the same to the media-publicized Polish blackmailers (SZMALCOWNIKI) and denouncers of fugitive Jews? Fat chance.

NOT ONLY POLES SOMETIMES KILLED JEWS AFTER THE WAR: JEWS DID ALSO

Lubling candidly writes: “After the war there were numerous cases in which Holocaust survivors were killed by other survivors, most notably the Kastner [Kasztner] case in Israel.” (p. 95). Yet–surprise–surprise–all we hear is about the Poles in this regard.

WHO IS FAVORED BY THE MEDIA?

Lubling contends that Jews are unfairly treated in the media. He cites Ehud Olmert’s complaint (pp. 5-6) about the selective media attention and outrage to Israeli killings of Arabs. But the Kielce Pogrom is still recounted while the hundreds of nameless 40-victim massacres worldwide since then aren’t, and the same media that did cartwheels over the Jedwabne “revelation” ignored or dismissed the massacres of Poles by Jews at Naliboki and Koniuchy.
