Funny how quick you moved on. Still cant beat the diary can you. Primary source, no manipulation, no mention of Trebinka.
And dont try and claim some Australian affinity - you dont deserve it. Australia has more than had enough of pond scum. It is why the laws that exist...do
What laws might this be? Certainly not insider trading laws, because I know folks break those every day.
However, I digress, you poor fool - nothing would delight me more than if the diary you found online was from the same person writing newspaper articles about Treblinka II in early June 1942. But the spelling of the names is distinctly different and LemmyCaution was so concerned that he appears to have contacted the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw to sort your error out.
Let me quote his excellent and informed rebuttal of your howler
This is confusing me. Gutkowski has to have been Eliayhu Gutkowski, no? Member of Right Poalei Zion and one of the secretaries to Oyneg Shabes. Szlamek was someone else entirely: according to Kassow he was probably Shlomo Fajner but may have been Shlomo Bajler. His testimony of Chelmno was recorded by Hersh Wasser, who called him Jacob Grojanowksi to conceal his identity. This was the name Szlamek had taken after his escape from Chelmno as he made his way to Warsaw.
It was Szlamek's nephew, Abram Beiler or Bajler, who informed the OS by postcard that Szalmek had been deported from Zamosc (to Belzec?) after he'd moved on from Warsaw.
I do not believe that Szlamek has any connection to Treblinka, the labor camp of which was well known in Warsaw by winter 1941-1942; as Jews from cities and small towns around Poland were being deported, OS activists were trying to determine to where. They were receiving reports of Belzec and Sobibor at this time as well as information about construction of a similar camp near Warsaw. Anyway, I don't think Gutkowski was another pseudonym of Szlamek.
So I now await your apology for your accusation that I fabricated quotes.
