Beate Klarsfeld was made an Officer in the Legion of Honor — an award already given to her husband Serge, the country’s best-known Nazi hunter — in recognition of her tenacious search for war criminals, some of whom operated in France during World War II. “Germany and France are lucky to have you as a daughter,” Sarkozy told the German-born Klarsfeld, 68. Her son Arno was named Knight in France’s National Order of Merit. He notably represented the Sons and Daughters of Deported Jews of France in the 1998 trial of Nazi-era collaborator Maurice Papon, a former French budget minister convicted of complicity in crimes against humanity. Arno Klarsfeld also worked closely with Sarkozy when he was interior minister, notably dealing with immigrant families who were in France illegally but had children in French schools.

Upon visiting Auschwitz, however, Pressac was able to view first-hand the extensive archive of construction documents which had survived due to being located in the construction office rather than the administrative offices. These convinced him that his former views were in error, an event he describes in the postface of Auschwitz: Technique and operation of the gas chambers,"   PIERRE VIDAL-NAQUET The Jews: History, Memory, and the Present A technical expert of this (somewhat sinister) kind of archaeology exists. His name is Jean-Claude Pressac, and his major work was published in New York"   DREW UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR HOLOCAUST/GENOCIDE STUDY: "An interesting, if disturbing, resource Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chamber (1989) was written by Jean-Claude Pressac a Holocaust doubter who wanted to prove to himself and the world that the concentration and death camps really existed. It is a "scientific rebuttal of those who deny the gas chambers."       Click on the cover to read the book The Holocaust and the Neo-Nazi Mythomania Serge Klarsfeld (Editor) ©1978 The Beate Klarsfeld Foundation - New York Translated from the Original French by Barbara Rucci   BOOK REVIEW by DR.

A young survivor found the album and, in it, her own photograph and those of her parents, grandparents and little brothers, now all dead. She kept the album for 36 years. “It was not until three weeks ago that Serge Klarsfeld, a Nazi hunter, found Lili Jacob, now Mrs. Eric Meier, a waitress in Miami Beach, and told her the album was, in his words, "a holy document" containing all but three of the known photographs of the Jews at Auschwitz."     ISRAEL GUTMAN Historiam “It has been said that there will never be people as innocent as the victims on the threshold of the gas chambers.”   USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), March, 2006 "“The Auschwitz album: story of a death factory": Hitler's "final solution of the Jewish question" sent millions to extermination in this installation's gas chambers and crematoriums.”      Click on the cover to read the book   FRENCH CHILDREN OF THE HOLOCAUST A Memorial Serge Klarsfeld © 1996 New York University Press ISBN 0-8147-2662-3   A heart-wrenching depiction of the cruel treatment that the Nazis inflicted on innocent French Children.

This book contains extremely graphic images that are not appropriate for young or sensitive readers.  Copied from: http://www.struthof.me/ STRUTHOF'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE: “In 1985 Jean-Claude Pressac published a book in the United States that revived the Jewish memory, and that of the medical experiments. The Struthof Album explained, with backing by documents, for the first time exactly how the Struthof gas chamber operated. The French translation, L’Album du Struthof : étude du gazage au Struthof de 86 juifs destinés à la constitution d’une collection de squelettes, appeared shortly afterwards.”     PATRICK WECHSLER Dissertation La Faculté de Medecine de la „Reichsuniversität Straßburg“ (1941-1945) a l'heure nationale-socialiste “Nous avions également à notre disposition pour réaliser ce travail quelques excellents ouvrages d'ordre général, à savoir entre autre des études de U.D.Adam sur les universités allemandes pendant le national-socialisme, de L.Kettenacker sur la politique nazie en Alsace, de M.H.Kater sur l'Ahnenerbe, de E.Klee sur l'euthanasie, de A.Mitscherlich sur le procès des médecins nazis, de J.C.Pressac et S.Klarsfeld sur The Struthof album, et de J.Ziegler sur ce même camp. Un atlas sur le troisième Reich de C.Zentner et F.Bedürftig nous a particulièrement aidé à nous orienter dans le dédale des administrations et des organisations nazies.”                       This copyrighted material is presented exclusively for use by our readers to assist in their research.
