>> Kubica's figure of 680 births registered, which is accurate compared to the exaggerated 3000 cited by a Catholic publication . . .
It struck me, reading Saggy's posts on this, how deferential he is to witnesses whose testimony - and exaggerations - fit his biases, even whilst arguing that all Holocaust witnesses are liars, lack credibility, etc. With his "friendly" witnesses, he accepts whatever they've said, without a moment's thought or hesitation; whereas with witnesses whose testimony undermines his claims, he dismisses everything they say, again without thought. The double standard is glaring.
Yet in both cases, he floats free of substance, making knee-jerk pronouncements and snide jokes so he can misuse elements of evidence to suit his purposes - without ever grappling with the range of evidence, what witnesses have said, when and why.
Saggy still hasn't explained his basis for calling Auschwitz scholar Kubica a liar. I asked him if he'd read her chapter in the Auschwitz history. I know, get serious, right?
For readers who care, here is the Nuremberg translation of Glucks' 27 April 1943 order, which I cited above and to which Nick Terry alludes:
I wrote above that I hadn't read this order; I found that I had . . . oops. I am sure I haven't read Kubica's other sources, on which I await Saggy's critical remarks.
