\doc\web\97\02\gayholo.txt WHY "GAYS" MUST NOT BE COMPARED TO JEWS IN THE HOLOCAUST: From: elazar ICHT Bulletin: WHY "GAYS" MUST NOT BE COMPARED TO JEWS IN THE HOLOCAUST: Variables: NUMBER of VICTIMS..... Jews: As many as 6 million. Homosexuals: 5,000-15,000 of which an undetermined number were political prisoners falsely accused of homosexuality. Variables: % OF POPULATION SENT TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS..... Jews: Up to 85% of all Jews in Germany and German occupied countries. Homosexuals: Less than 1% of European homosexuals were interned. Over 90% of German homosexuals served the Third Reich. Variables: % SENT TO CAMPS OF THOSE WHO WERE ARRESTED..... Jews: Virtually 100% of Jews were arrested and interned in extermination camps. Homosexuals: Of homosexual arrests for sex crimes or political reasons at most 10-15% led to internment in work camps. Variables: DESTINATION UPON ARREST..... Jews: One of six death camps: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sobibor, Chelmno, Balzec, Maidenek, and Treblinka. Homosexuals: Most pink triangle prisoners (homosexuals) were sent to one of 10,000 work camps. Variables: REASON FOR ARREST..... Jews: Genocide. Jews were targeted for extermination. Compare to Gypsies, Slavs and other ethnic groups. Homosexuals: Criminal acts. Homosexuals were generally arrested for violations of anti-sodomy laws which pre-dated the Nazi regime. Compare to pickpockets, blackmailers and other behavioral gorups. Variables: NUMBER WHO DIED IN THE CAMPS..... Jews: As many as 6 million. Homosexuals: Probably less than 6,000. Variables: CAUSE OF DEATH..... Jews: Mass execution by firing squad, gas chambers, etc. Homosexuals: Starvation, disease, mistreatment by guards. Homosexuals were never targeted for extermination. Variables: CHANCE OF RELEASE..... Jews: Jews had almost no chance of release. Homosexuals: Homosexuals were released at the completion of their sentences. Many gained early release by convincingly renouncing homosexuality or by volunteering for military service. Variables: USE IN MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS..... Jews: Jews were used as guinea pigs in horrific experiments which usually resulted in mutilation or death. Homosexuals: Experimentation on homosexuals was to increase the breeding population. Some received a surgical implant designed to increase male hormone levels; some were castrated; some were forced to have sex with female prostitutes. Death was rare and unintended. Variables: PUNISHMENT FOR HARBORING..... Jews: Punishment for harboring Jews was death. Homosexuals: There was no punishment for harboring homosexuals. Many homosxuals were granted immunity from arrest because of friendships with Nazi leaders. Variables: REPRESENTATION IN POPULATION OF CONCENTRATION CAMP GUARDS..... Jews: There were no Jewish guards in the concentration camps. Homosexuals: There were a great many homosexual guards in the camps. Variables: SHARE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOLOCAUST..... Jews: The Jews were not in any way responsible for the Holocaust. Homosexuals: Homosexuals played a large part in the formation and development of the Nazi Party. A disproportionately large number of homosexuals served in high positions close to Adolf Hitler throughout the Third Reich, even after the assassination of Ernst Roehm and his loyalists. Variables: USE OF HOLOCAUST "VICTIM STATUS" AS A POLITICAL TOOL..... Jews: The Jews do not flaunt the yellow star or otherwise exploit the Holocaust for political gain. Homosexuals: Homosexual activists have made the pink triangle the very symbol of their movement. They constantly invoke the "Gay Holocaust" myth as a justification for their political agenda. Variables: RELATIONSHIP OF HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL SPONSORS AND BENEFACTORS TO VICTIMS.... Jews: Jewish sponsors and benefactors of Holocaust memorials are often the surviving family members of victims. Those who are not relatives still share a 6,000 year ethnic and cultural heritage. Homosexuals: The only bond that links homosexuals in today's movement to homosexual Holocaust victims is the common practice of sodomy and the shared sense of social ostracism because of it. An addendum to the 1996 Report of: THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR HOLOCAUST TRUTH ================================================= INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE for HOLOCAUST TRUTH: STATEMENT of PURPOSE....... The International Committee for Holocaust Truth exists to oppose all holocaust deniers and revisionists, but especially those who promote the myth of a "gay holocaust." We are scholars and laypersons who have researched the significant role that homosexuals played in the rise and rule of Nazism. Therefore we vigorously oppose and expose historical distortion by gay and lesbian groups which claim moral equivalency to Jewish Holocaust victims and demand a place of honor for gays in Holocaust Memorials and educational programs. We speak for those who died at the hands of homosexual brownshirts and SS concentration camp guards. It is in memory of these truly innocent victims that we dedicate our efforts.

A gay Holocaust? There were far fewer homosexuals executed as such by the Nazis than there were hoosexuals among the Nazi executioners. ################################################################### ################################################################### From: steve plaut Subject: A Gay Thought for the Weekend The PC terrorists have recently been harping away about a supposed "Homosexual Holocaust" during World War II, alongside the Holocaust of the Jews, trying to raise homosexuality to holy martyrdom. In fact, it is estimated that around 5000 homosexuals were executed as such by the Nazis. Hardly systematic intentional extermination. Actually, even that number is too high, as many "homosexuals" were simply Communists who were jailed and killed as "homosexuals" to humiliate them. Ok, so if maybe 5000 homosexuals were killed as such by the Nazis as part of the persecution of homosexuals, an interesting quetsion is how this number compares with the number of homosexuals who were among those perpetrating Nazi war crimes. Now I will not insult your intelligence with the ridiculous PC deconstructed 10% number, and so will not argue that by PC "logic", then 10% of the SS and Gestapo were gay. But even if we take the 1%-1.5% number psychologists currently believe (and I think is a bit high), it still follows that the number of homosexuals killed for being such by the Nazis during World War II was FAR SMALLER than the number of homosexuals within the ranks of the executioners. Hardly a "Homosexual Holocaust". DR. STEVEN E. PLAUT GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS UNIVERSITY OF HAIFA, HAIFA 31905 ISRAEL **** YOUR SOURCE FOR CYBER-SAMIZDAT ****
