Sure, it's possible; it just isn't likely. Again, think Westerbork. And again, think of all the people who DID make it out of the GULAG.
In order to have "survivors" of a gulag, surely you must think others perished or they wouldn't be "surviving anything.
I hardly think it's farfetched to consider the prisoners from Treblinka may have simply died in the gulags.
Other than the "survivors", of course.
Of course. Except the things that all the survivors have in common from Treblinka are: (1) They say it was an extermination camp, not a transit camp; and (2) None them went to the GULAG.
Pizzaman said:
History isn't a court trial.
No, most history isn't questioned.
That's sort of my point.
However, the victors felt it was necessary to supply fake tattooed skin, human skin lampshades, and shrunken skulls to convince courts of German guilt.
They didn't do those things to convince people of guilt. They did them because they believed they were true. Without them, they still would have won convictions, as the Frankfurt trials, which had none of those things, amply proved.
I don't ever remember hearing the victors say "history isn't a court trial".
That's because, as I already noted, they were establishing guilt for individual people of individual crimes.
I think you'd be more accurate saying "Holocaust history isn't a court trial because it wouldn't stand up to modern day scrutiny using simple mathematics and science".
Pizzaman said:
You should be aware that you have to prove that you were actually in a camp in order to get compensation, at least from Germany.
And what is considered proof other than a Jewish name and a year of birth within reasonable time frames?
See Dr. Neander's post on this thread.
Most Jewish prisoners changed their names after the war, especially after emigrating to Israel.
In fact, most DIDN'T change their names, except, as you note, the ones who went to Israel.
I don't suppose you have a copy of the form which they use as proof showing a history of name changes?
I don't see what relevance name changes have.
Face it, all you have to do is show up with a name and a number.
You make it sound as if Germany would ever challenge a claim at this point.
Yes, I do believe they would challenge a claim if there were on proof. Otherwise, they'd go broke. Common sense.
Pizzaman said:
That's correct. And yet you have very few claiming survival at Treblinka, particularly if they were deported there outside of a specific time-frame before the revolt there. Even fewer from Sobibor. Two guys from Belzec (no revolt there).
I'm repeating, but I feel it's necessary.
There is simply no reason for details in survivor claims.
When you fly on an airline, they know what destination you land at, but they don't ask what hotel you're staying in, or even if you'll be traveling by other means from there to a completely different area.
Again, see Dr. Neander's post.

And let's not forget that the Holocaust industry doesn't need more "survivors" telling their stories. They can't get them straight as it is.
Pizzaman said:
That's off-topic for this thread.
Actually, it's spot on as to the reasoning why no details are necessary during these claimed money distribution interviews.[/quote]
Sorry, but you haven't proved that, and in fact, Dr. Neander proved you wrong.
The more details survivors pour into the fire, the more they get burned.
Make up your mind: Are the stories ridiculous or did they hedge on details?
The Holocaust Industry wants generalizations and blanket claims to keep things easy to maintain.
Again, you'll need to prove that.
Look back at any detailed witness testimonies (like the ones in the video I linked to above), and it's the vein of the Holocaust Industry's mistakes.
You mean "bane." Also, I don't find the testimonies in that video unreliable, but that's off topic here.
Witnesses embellish and suffer from false memories. That's not a compliment to the storyline.
No, it isn't, but at least if people had been through a transit camp, they'd probably say so.
Pizzaman said:
I disagree. The U.S., at least keeps very good immigration records, and Israel does as well — at least since independence. (Obviously, when immigration there was illegal, fewer records were kept.)
Oh please.
Let's take a look at the Census Bureau's own words...
The Census Bureau conducted censuses of religious bodies at 10-year intervals from 1906 through 1936. The results were published with statistics on topics such as the number of members in congregations, number of church edifices, seating capacity, value and debt on church property, and so forth. The census publications varied with the first two having volumes of reports and the 1926 and 1936 censuses releasing a Summary report and a second volume made up of individual reports on the denominations listed in the census. See our detailed listing of reports from past censuses (1790 on).
Your mistake here is thinking that the Census Bureau keeps the same records as INS.
They don't.
There also was a survey of religious affiliation done as part of the Current Population Survey
in 1957 with the results published in a report entitled, "Religion Report by the Civilian Population of the United States,
March 1957." The Census of Religious Bodies began as a few questions on the Social Statistics form of the 1850 census. When the Bureau became permanent in 1902, it became possible to separate some data collection from the decennial census. The Census of Religious Bodies was a stand-alone census taken every 10 years between
1906 and 1936.
Data were collected in 1946 but the funding for tabulation was not forthcoming. The entire census was eliminated in the mid 1950's. Copies of the report are in the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (
http://www.nara.gov).
See above. It's a matter of immigration records.
The U.S. Census Bureau does not collect data on religious affiliation in its demographic surveys or decennial census. Public Law 94-521 prohibits us from asking a question on religious affiliation on a mandatory basis; in some person or household surveys, however, the U.S. Census Bureau may collect information about religious practices, on a voluntary basis. Therefore, the U.S. Census Bureau is not the source for information on religion, nor is the Census Bureau the source for information on religious affiliation.

The U.S. Census didn't ask who was a Jew during or after the war in the years above.
Irrelevant.
So tell me...
How do you know how many Jews went to the U.S. either during or after the war, Pizzaman?
Nearly zero during the war. The doors were closed.
After the war, we know for immigration records.
I still won't discuss the population statistics conducted by Israel.
After all, the nation wouldn't be there if they didn't show millions missing.
I have a thread here somewhere about population statistics and demographics.
Please feel free to post in it.
Please provide a link.

I just don't think that's good enough to explain nearly a million people.
The burden of revisionists is to simply show the prisoners (or bodies) aren't where they are claimed to be.
But when you allege a transit camp, you've got to prove one.
They could be on the moon for all I care.
The fact that they're not in Treblinka is all that's needed to make the original claim false.
Different topic.
And I noticed you didn't comment on my sarcasm of claiming they're in mass graves in the Soviet territories.
I even offered to put memorials on top of the claimed sites.
I didn't notice.
I suspect you realized how ridiculous the Holocaust story is when faced with your own logic and techniques.
Not really, no.
