To: PNEWS-L@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU From: Elazar Homosexuals: Holocaust Victims? By: Jewish Historian, Dr. Howard Hurwitz Family Concerns Report, November/December 1996 P:6. Editor: Mrs. Nancy Schaefer "A Living Memorial to the Holocaust," sponsored by the Museum of Jewish Heritage, is under construction in Battery Park City, opposite Ellis Island. The present intention of the sponsors is to include homosexuals along with Jews as "victims" of Hitler. A precedent for such inclusion is in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. Militant homosexuals, abetted by mistaken liberal Jews, perpetrated this distortion of history. The fact is that the Nazi Party was founded by homosexuals. This is documented beyond dispute by historians whose works have been published since the end of WW II, most recently by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams in "The Pink Swstika: Homosexuality In The Nazi Party." Hitler is listed as a homosexual in Viennese police files, according to the historian Desmond Seward in his "Nepolean and Hitler." There is littel doubt that he was a sexual pervert. Beyond any challenge is the fact that Hitler's closest friend, Ernst Roehm, was a notorious homosexual. Hitler and Roehm were founders of the Nazi Party in the early 1920s. The fiction that the Nazis were anti-homosexual stems from the murder of Roehm, on orders of Hitler, June 30, 1934, the "Night of the Long Knives." Roehm, along with thousands of his homosexual followers, was murdered not because he was a homosexual, but because Hitler had reason to believe that Roehm threatened to seize leadership of the Party. Roehm was in position to do so because his brown shirts, some three million, outnumbered the German army. Roehm had been turned down by Hitler when he demanded control of the German Army. For their part, the Army generals demaned of Hitler, who was already the Chancellor, that Roehm be eliminated. Their demand was affirmed by German industrialists who threatened to cut off funding of the Nazi Party. Thereupon, Hitler decided to end both his friendship and the life of Roehm. In The ensuing years, Hitler sought to strengthen his popular support by proclaiming his opposition to homosexuals. Under German law, homosexuality was a felony. The German people held homosexuals in distain. Coming out against them was made easier for Hitler who arrested and imprisoned individual homosexuals accused of crimes. Among these homosexuals were those who murdered Nazis and left notes on their corpses that the killing was in revenge for the murder of Roehm and his homosexual followers. At no time were homosexuals rounded up as were Jews and transported to concentration camps for extinction. They were not gassed. Many serviced homosexual guards during their incarceration. It is especially significant to note that some prominent homosexuals were retained by Hitler in leadership positions in the Third Reich right up to its final days in 1945. Homosexuals seek inclusion in the New York Holocaust Museum because it would go far toward gaining acceptance (not mere toleration) for their sexual behavior. Militant homosexuals in their political agenda, set forth in the (so-called) gay, lesbian and bisexual March on Washington, 1993, demand legalization of same-sex marriage, the right of "gay" women and men to teach schoolchildren that homosexuality is normal and an alternative to homosexuality, etc. Since some prominent liberals are cosponsors of the New York Holocaust Museum, it will take considerable effort to dissuade trustees of the Museum of "Jewish Heritage" to deny homosexuals their false claim to be "victims" of Nazi genocide as were Jews and others. To bring this about, the Family Defense Council (along with other interested parties), has formed a Committee for Holocaust Truth. Fittingly, the campaign to restore truth in the Holocaust Museum began on April 16, 1996, Holocaust Day. Dr. Hurwitz is chairman of the International Committee for Holocaust Truth, as well as head of the Family Defense Council, Inc. ======================================= This posting brought to you by........ 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 sadistic Nazi homosexual brownshirts and SS concentration camp guards. It is in memory of these truly innocent victims that we dedicate our efforts.
