Do the math. 3 million Jewish people arrived at the "camps" in 3 years to be gassed.
83,333 a month. Where were they staged?
Well, Clayton, if you actually knew anything about the history, then you'd know that in France, to take one example, Jews were arrested in large numbers in 1941 and interned in camps in France, then they began to be deported in the spring of 1942 to Auschwitz. At first they were registered 100% because the first transports to Auschwitz were used as labourers to build up the camps; these transports consisted of entirely able bodied men and women.
Then in July 1942 there were more mass roundups in Paris, with 1000s being held first in a sports stadium (the Vel d'Hiv), and then transferred to Drancy, which became the main transit camp in France. They were then deported to Auschwitz in a series of transports and selected on arrival, with the able bodied being registered into the camp, and tattooed, and those unfit for work being gassed.
By the end of 1942, the
Korherr report tells us that a total of 41,911 Jews had been deported from France, out of an estimated population of 300,000. The remaining quarter of a million had largely gone to ground or were trying to flee across the Swiss and Spanish borders, or into the Italian-occupied zone of the south of France, since the Italians were not deporting Jews.
Over the course of 1943 and the first nine months of 1944, a further 35,000 or so Jews were caught in France, in what was a more slow-going process for the Nazis because the intended victims were indeed alert and suspicious, but the majority avoided capture. The 35,000 Jews, other than a few transports sent to Sobibor and Majdanek in early 1943, were deported to Auschwitz, where they were invariably selected on arrival, with the able bodied registered and the unfit gassed. Total, 75,000 deported. Of the deportees, only 2,000 returned at the end of the war. The rest died, either by being gassed on arrival, dying in concentration camps or being selected inside Auschwitz after registration for gassing if they had become too sick or too weak to work any more.
That is the accepted account of the Holocaust in France, one of more than 20 countries affected by Nazi policies towards Jews.
In the same time-frame, the Nazis also captured 86,000 members of the French resistance who were then deported to concentration camps in Germany. They also executed about 20,000 people in France, of whom more than 1,000 were Jews. They further conscripted nearly 1 million French workers and transferred 1.6 million French prisoners of war for work in Germany.
None of these Frenchmen and Frenchwomen wanted to be deported, and we find that, non-Jews were deported at a rate up to 35 times the number that Jews were deported.
