Microfiche For Post War European Papers?

[Stubble]

Bombsaway was talking about somebody going to Poland and trying to interview locals to see what happened in the war and post war years to the jews.

That got me to thinking, is there a repository of contemporary wartime and post war local papers for the region? If so, perhaps I could winnow them and see if there is any wheat.

Does anyone know if these microfiche are online and available for review?

I will start digging and link back if I find anything.

Good Idea.
One of the challenges for Revisionists is to preserve primary evidence that the
Believers would throw into the Memory Hole

The Polish government was in-exile in London. Most of what was Poland became the General Government under the Germans. So the "Polish" papers would have been under German censorship at the time, but there were some Polish "underground" reports and things of that nature. Arad has a chapter on war-time reports on the AR camps, mostly drawn from these underground sources. Mostly silly stuff like they gassed the Jews just enough so that they would have only enough life left to stagger their way to the mass graves before dying. There are some materials from the Warsaw Ghetto as well (the Ringelblum group).

In the HC "white paper," there is some stuff about supposed bystander testimony (it looks like most of these are postwar, not contemporaneous). Mostly testimonies mentioning fires or smoke at the camps. These will not really settle anything since it doesn't help us establish the scale. Such testimonies aren't strong enough to support the claim that there were massive conflagrations at these camps for months on end.

I want to zero in on post war specifically, '45-'47 although, I also wanted to see articles published under the GG so I could hear 'the news' such as it was.

What I intend to look for is reporting about migrations of jews either leaving or returning, wholesome reunion stuff, things of that nature. Interviews would be good too. Kind of contrast and compare early stuff with what we have today.

I'm trying to suss out the grains of truth upon which the tower of lies rests. To winnow the truth from the lie. To get at what exactly the kerfuffle was. I'm also deeply interested in finding and accounting for these missing jews. They aren't in the dirt in the Reinhardt Camps. They've got to be some place.

Some were in Iran, Shanghai, Mexico, the Soviet Union, Israel etc. I still have an outstanding balance of missing persons however, and it is a large bill of persons.

I'm not sure I will find much of anything, and my Polish isn't very polished, but, I am willing to try. That's got to count for something.

For the record, I still haven't found much of anything. When I tried to open a database in a polish library to search, it just hung for about 45 minutes as I let it try to work in the background. I eventually terminated the connection on my end. I got no error back, but, it was very, very broken.

I have managed to find this Stubble:

If you go to the bottom and select "object" it should show a collection, you can also go back to the homepage and continue digging from there.

You rock! Thank you.

This will keep me busy for a while.

Much appreciated.

Poles seem awful proud of their terrorists. Their 'Partisans', their 'resistance fighters'.

The Spirit of the Polish Army

Democratic traditions in the Polish army are long-standing...

Hardly had the first flames of struggle for freedom, against tyranny, against the despotism of royal and tsarist thrones appeared—when ranks of Polish soldier-fighters emerged.

The Napoleonic ranks were filled with Poles—soldiers of Napoleon. The Kościuszko uprising brought forth soldiers and leaders—Kościuszko, Pułaski, Kiliński, the first actions of the Polish peasant, best demonstrating how deeply and vividly the ideals of the Polish people lived in broad democratic layers, and how far from monarchism. And this wasn’t just a slogan about freedom and equality.

Many Polish émigrés, soldiers of various eras who fell on foreign soil, never seeing their homeland again, rest in foreign soil with the hope that their sacrifice would be understood in a greater, universal human sense. In it lived—within their full romantic fervor and temperament—the realization of the Polish cause.

No other army in Europe can boast such a noble historical page.
None!

That’s why Dąbrowski’s Legions, Kniaziewicz’s Legions, Dembiński’s soldiers, Langiewicz, Mierosławski had written on their banners:
"People of free Poland are our brothers,"
"Long live the Paris Commune" (1871), and others carried slogans of social justice.

The Polish soldier always felt the needs of the working masses of the people and carried in his banners:
"For our freedom and yours!"
That is what the workers of Warsaw cried out in 1794,
"No Prussian bayonets! Down with the tsarist knout! We want freedom and democracy."
Jean Paul Marat wouldn’t have expressed it better!

From the moment of the German invasion, the Polish Republic had to redefine and revive its traditions of liberty and democracy in its military.

Every underground unit, every partisan group resumed their work with this same tradition as a living reality.

Democratic ideals, deeply rooted in the Polish soul, created (alongside perhaps mystical elements) the soul and fate of these military-fighting groups, not based in a single centralized authority.

The spirit of democratic understanding allowed for the emergence of many military units from various ideological groups and formations, which were united by a common ideal and a common goal: freedom of the homeland. In the ranks of the Home Army were people from all walks of life, all ideological orientations, all patriotic currents. Democracy united them.

The desire for justice, order, social fairness—this too was the burning aspiration of every soldier of the Home Army, as fierce as his hatred toward both the German invader and the German man.

Such was, is, and will be the spirit of the Polish army.

How'd that whole freedom from tyranny thing work out for 'em, anyhow?

From the Editorial Office:

During the years of underground work, the secret newspaper Głos Ojczyzny was published for the territories of the Third Reich. Now, under new working conditions, the editorial team returns to this traditional title.

THE MISERY OF HITLERISM

A well-known and correct thesis is that Germans only know how to act in herds. Each individual German rarely shows initiative or individuality; instead, he represents the type of person who is rather inept, looking for support in another’s will, whom he eagerly obeys and will do whatever is ordered, especially if it’s loudly proclaimed.

During the First World War of 1914, the psychological side of the Germans appeared especially clearly in the massive collapse of morale at the front and in the rear. Herd-like obedience to the political leadership of Germany was the main driving force behind all the political events of recent decades.

This herd instinct of the Germans first manifested itself in their submission to the Hitler regime.

The power of Hitlerism lay above all in fear, a system of terror, organized bestiality, and overwhelming violence.

When this whole system collapsed with an iron crash, the apparatus crumbled into ruins in just a few days.

The naked reality of Hitlerism is misery – it is a complete moral downfall.

The political-state structure that the Gestapo and SS agents lived in did not last even a single day.

When Germans were no longer being given proclamations and surrounding “gospels,” when "Sieg Heil!" no longer rang from the lips of the columns of youth and old men in uniform, they became utterly helpless. All the instruments of their evil had disappeared. All who had previously supported the ideology of state terror melted away – thoughtless and speechless.

Human imagination is not capable of fully grasping the horror that passed over nations in the form of massacres, murder campaigns, and the crusade against Poland. And all this was done by the German people.

No sane human mind – no normal intellect – can comprehend what ideology the "New Europe" was supposedly built upon.

What twisted logic could justify the Nazi ideology of the rule of one master race over all others?

And who could believe in the absurd idea of a “common European future,” in which Germany would rule?

Was Europe really supposed to be convinced that the German people were a master race chosen by fate to enslave other nations?

Was there ever such boundless cruelty as that born out of Hitlerism?

Was there ever such a remorseless strike at the human soul and humaneness – after which came the SS-men, and the “SS-man” who was ready for anything, with no soul or thought, with a metal heart and a machine mind?

Such a deep moral and social fall had never been known in the history of mankind.

And if there are those who could not be corrupted – they were murdered.

Even now – the defeated Germans try to maintain the remnants of their pride in the face of the shattered remains of the “Great Reich.”

They try to defend something – forcefully, desperately, with ever less hatred and ever more cowardice.

But there’s nowhere left to go! The roads are closed. Only one thing remains: punishment for the crime.

Let no one feel sorry for the defeated beasts, whose only sin was the Hitlerite atrocity.

This is cried out by the ghosts of millions of murdered people.

It uh, might not be worth trying to winnow this. They are uh, laying it on pretty thick.

First 2 issues are basically thank god for terrorism and don't feel bad for the Germans as they get raped and murdered by the Soviet Horde descending on them.

I'll keep going, but, in the future I will only share an article if I strike gold.
