Blog 279 – Auschwitz-Birkenau – 16 June 2025

My purpose is to give hope to those who have lost hope. Without hope, we remain lost in the Shadow Lands.

****

The Ayatollahs came to power in Iran in 1979. They immediately pledged to exterminate the State of Israel.  Israel was established in the ancestral home of Jewish people to ensure that never again would anyone be permitted to exterminate the Jewish people.

The Ayatollahs of Iran have spent the last 45 years trying to make a reality of their dream of murdering all Jewish people.

On Friday 13 June (Adelaide time) Israel finally went to war against the Iranian War Machine.  The Ayatollahs were about to drop atomic bombs on tiny Israel.

This Blog is written for all those idiots who think extermination of Jews is a good idea.

****

Yes, I realise many of you who want to exterminate Jews, clothe your deepest wishes in Bullsh*t lawyer language, but that does not fool me and it especially does not fool the people you want to murder.

I have visited places where the last mass murder of innocent Jews took place.

This Blog is about what I saw in Krakow in 2013.

Nazi hatred of all things sacred was just like the hatred of the crazed Iranian idiot Ayatollahs.  Both groups of idiots claim they have a holy mission to murder Jews.  When they had murdered every Jew in the universe, the Nazis – just like the current Iranian Nazis who claim a direct communication line with God – would have sought out yet more people to murder.  Every murder is an assault on the fabric of the universe itself.  The holy wars created by the Iranian lunatics who falsely claim the support of Allah, only create more slaughter and death.

The divine power weeps for every victim of stupidity.

Stop it you morons!

This plaque located in Auschwitz Birkenau Death Camp summarises some of the murders committed in this vile place.

****

This plaque summarises the number of Jews murdered in Auschwitz Birkenau.  The precise number murder victims is not known..  Jews were captured, placed on a train to Auschwitz, marched off the train at Auschwitz and subjected to a cursory examination to decide if they could be worked to death.  Those who “passed” the “medical examination” were given tattooed numbers on their arms and recorded.  Those who “failed” the “medical examination” were marched directly to the “shower block” and murdered.  Their names were never recorded.

****

What do you think was once contained inside these empty tins?  The canisters of deadly gas were used to murder innocent people who had been told they were having a shower.  The gas canisters were inserted into the roofs of the “shower block”.

****

Every one of these shoes was stolen off a murdered Jew (or perhaps a murdered member of yet another “undesirable species”).  There are so many thousands of shoes at Birkenau.

****

This ghastly plaque tells its own story.  I am able to add nothing to it except sobbing.

****

This photo shows the remains of the “Execution Wall” referred to in the previous photo.

****

Every moron who tries to destroy other humans because they are “unworthy” is trying to destroy every member of the human race.  These people are complete idiots.

Help yourself to heal Help others heal Give Love Always

The impossible can be done if we ignore “common sense” and refuse to give up.  That is how the Nazis were defeated by my parents and the astonishing members of the Great Generation.

The ghosts of the dead should be listened to; they are beautiful people.

Cracow - Friday 18 October 2013 (Entry Made at 6:20 pm) Today we visited the Auschwitz/ Birkenau Death Camp complexes. Auschwitz is located near the Polish village of Oswiecim.  When Poland surrendered to Germany on 29 September 2013, the Germans made use of a 6 hectare site in Oswiecim where the Polish Army already had a military complex, complete with rows of solid red brick buildings.  This is where the original gassings of Jews took place.  When this site proved "inadequate" for the numbers that the Nazis wanted to murder, inmates of Auschwitz were forced to build a new camp in a nearby village where there was a lot more space.  Where Auschwitz only had one crematorium, the new complex had 4 crematoria.  The new complex was called Birkenau.  It was at Birkenau that the production line slaughter really got under way.  Birkenau itself had a number of satellite camps. Our bus dropped us at the main Auschwitz tourist reception point.  We were then given a 2 hour tour of Auschwitz by Agnietza (my spelling of her name could be wrong).  Agnietza was extremely knowledgeable, extremely compassionate, had spoken to a number of death camp survivors and was an ideal guide. At Auschwitz, she took us through various buildings.  They included camp dormitories, a building filled with property stolen from the dead (hair, shoes, suitcases, artificial limbs) and a Nazi "punishment block".  It was as moving as it was ghastly. After a 10 minute break, we were then bussed to Birkenau.  Once again, Agnietza was our guide.  This time the walking was brisker.  We had so much more ground to cover.  Fittingly, it was very cold and it rained heavily throughout most of the tour - both the Auschwitz and the Birkenau sections. After getting to Auschwitz at about 10:30 am, it was about 2:30 pm before Agnietza left us.  The bus got us back to Cracow at about 4:00 pm.  It had been a long day.

Never panic.

Always act with purpose.

Those who were slaughtered in Auschwitz Birkenau had committed no crime.

They were immensely brave.

I hope to find the courage they found if I am ever in a terrible situation like they were.

The descendants of those who were slaughtered in Auschwitz Birkenau are also immensely brave.

They deserve our support.

Courage is the only way that we can ever create the Paradise on Earth that should be here.

Applauding - instead of jeering - at anti semitic behaviour, perpetuates the Hell we have already created on this planet.

I will tell you more about the vileness of mass murder tomorrow.  The photos in this Blog were all taken by me in Birkenau.  It was difficult to imagine how Auschwitz might have been more vile than Birkenau, but it definitely was heartbreakingly worse.

A place of worship in Kraków the Nazis forgot to destroy; photo taken 17 October 2013.  They tried so very hard to destroy the Polish people as well as the Jewish people – and they failed.

Kraków Ghosts (Thursday 17 October 2013 at 4:20 pm) Our tour guide was Marguerite. She was aged in her 20s. She was steering an electric powered vehicle. It had three rows of seats. Each row could fit two people. We claimed a row each. The vehicle had open sides with roll up, roll down plastic sheets for cover. The vehicle boasted that it was heated. The heating was needed. It was a cool, late autumn day in Kraków. Perhaps the temperature reached 12 degrees. It probably didn't. The tour commentary was a recorded voice in English. Marguerite introduced each section of the commentary. The tour started off in the usual way. This is the Royal Castle; The Kings were crowned here. This is the church of ... This is a different church of ... Look at this stone defence work ... I learned that the Park where Marguerite waited for business marked the location of the Old City walls. When the walls were knocked down, the developers missed out. How forward thinking that was! They built a Park instead of more houses. The recitation of saints, castles and kings passed me by. I had heard similar stories before. They might have been different in details, But they had been similar in kind. We stopped outside 3 synagogues. King Kazimierz had been kind to the Jews in Kraków. He often used to "visit" the beautiful Rebecca. Rebecca had two daughters. Both daughters had been brought up in the faith of their mother. Rebecca had been Jewish. The information remained ho hum until ... We had stopped outside another synagogue. The recorded voice said that the Nazis had ordered someone to burn the synagogue down. The someone in question had been a Jewish man who worshipped at that synagogue. The someone refused to desecrate a Holy Place by burning it down. So the Nazis murdered him. Casually. Offhandedly. The way you would break a stick. The someone died. Somehow, The Holy Place survived. The commentary continued a little later. This is the square where Jews and Poles were murdered by the Nazis. This is the square where the Jews were mustered; So they could be taken to the Death Camps. I got out of the vehicle. I felt cold. Despite the weather, I had not felt cold before. The voices were not threatening at all. They were simply clamorous. "What it says is true!" "I was there!" "We were there!" "Tell our story!" "Please!" I could hear them, But I could not see them. The commentary told us we were in the ghetto. The Jews were imprisoned here; From 1941 to 1943. The ghetto was destroyed by the Nazis in 1943. They had thought of something more ghastly that they could do to the Jews. Something more ghastly that they could do to these ever so ordinary, But ever so extraordinary people. They invented Death by Production Line. This was where the wall used to be. The trams still ran through the ghetto, But the trams were not allowed to stop. No tram journeys were allowed if you were Jewish. Marguerite stopped her electric Go Kart next to an ordinary piece of wall. This is the only surviving section of the ghetto wall. It looked ordinary because it was ordinary. It was only a wall. A wall made to imprison innocent people; People whose only crime was to be humans, Humans bearing a label that claimed that they had ceased to be human. We stopped at 4 Lipowa Street in Kraków. The original buildings and the original gate are still there. This is where Oscar Schindler ran his factory. It made many items. They were all essential to the German War Machine. I could almost feel the ghosts falling over each other at Lipowa street. Their noise was an unceasing thunderous roar. The factory was staffed by Jews; About 1,200 of them. Oscar Schindler refused to let them go to the Death Camps. He said they were performing Vital War Work, So they couldn't be murdered; Not until Germany had won the war. Why were the ghosts so noisy? For the usual reason. People talk when they have something to say. What were they saying? They were saying "Do not forget any part of this." "Our songs matter too!" "Those who lived beyond the war!" "Those who did not die!" "We all matter!" "Sing the songs that tell of our lives!" "Because the songs matter!" So I wept. And I have tried to sing their songs; The songs of the Kraków ghosts. The ghosts are beautiful, wonderful people.

Never panic.

Always act with purpose.

There is always a solution, even if you do not like that solution.

Work out the solution and make it happen.
