3. Irrefutable documents
It so happens
that others than he have had that idea and, how ironic, these are the notorious
"forgers" of the Center of Contemporary Jewish Documentation (CDJC) in Paris,
first of all M. Leon Poliakov and execrated by the not at all curious
"scholar," Rassinier.
As a matter of fact, in the review of the CDJC,
"Le Monde Juif," (36, pp. 4 20; 37, pp. 4
16), M. Leon Poliakov published a series of documents relating to the "Kurt
Gerstein Dossier." From them we here reproduce extracts solving the majority of
the enigmas which trouble Rassinier and his likes, all of whom burn with a
sacred love of historical truth:
"Military Justice. Central Depository
of Archives. 1 and 3, Nöefort Street, Meaux (Seine and Marne).
|
Meaux, October 26,1960
Officer (...), Clerk of Court (...)
to
Mr. the Minister of the Armies (...)
Reference: today's telephone call from
Colonel Lequette
Object: Concerning a man of the name of Kurt Gerstein
Following the instructions cited in the reference, I am pleased to inform
you that owing to his activity in France (...), he was the subject of the
inquiry No. 1171 of July 10, 1945, of the General Military Governor of Paris
for murder and complicity, for the Second Military Tribunal.
That finding
himself incarcerated at the military prison of Cherche Midi since July 5, 1945,
in accordance with imprisonment order No. 12560/JM of the said day of the
general officer cited above, he voluntarily took his own life by hanging, in
his cell, on July 25, 1945, at five o'clock in the afternoon (...). That the
commandant of the military prison indeed sent on July 26, 1945, to the
Commissioner of the Government attached to the Second Permanent Military
Tribunal of Paris a report relating to the suicide of the person in question
accompanied by a letter of the lastmentioned (in all likelihood written shortly
before killing himself in view of justifying his act). (...) on the prison
calendar of the military prison of Cherche Midi appears the hand written
notation: "I established this day, July 25, 1945, at 5:25 P.M., the decease of
the prisoner Gerstein, Kurt; the cause of death is obvious as attested by the
visible furrow on the neck of the subject and the position in which the body
was found.
It results from this that death is due to hanging. This manner
of taking one's own life can absolutely not be avoided in a prison." This
registration is signed "J. Trouillet," doctor of the military prison of Paris.
The body was given over to the Police Superintendant [sic] of the ward of
NotreDame des Champs on July 26, 1945, to be transported to the MedicoLegal
Institute for autopsy (enclosed is the copy of this attestation found in the
archives of the military prison of Cherche Midi).
Following up this
information, I asked the Prefecture of Police to let me known where the victim
was buried.
By the letter No. 1716/CAB/SD dated May 2, 1958, the Prefect of
Police informed me that in consequence of the verifications which he had
ordered, notably at the Medico Legal Institute, it had been established that
the body of Gerstein had been buried on August 3, 1945, in the cemetery of
Thiais."
To complete the grotesque "dossier of enigmas" of
Rassinier, here is first of all a short document:
