Here's an interesting question for Clayton to ponder. I imagine he'll got lost nearly immediately, but what the hell? I'd like Clayton to pose any objections to the below narrative after each paragraph.
So there were these three camps in Poland that were set up under Aktion Reinhard, which was the operation by which the General Government (occupied by unannexed Poland) was to be made "Judenrein." Now bear in mind that there were three million Jews in Poland on the eve of World War II.
Now, one of the nice things about the Nazis (among precious few) was that they were fairly meticulous record keepers. Therefore, we know how many Jews were sent to these three camps: Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. According to the telegram sent by Hermann Höfle, a deputy to Odilo Globocnik, who ran Aktion Reinhard, to Adolf Eichmann at the RSHA and Franz Heim at the SS bureau of statistics. In that telegram, Höfle informs these two men that the numbers sent to Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka, respectively, were 434,508, 101,370, and 713,555, totaling about 1.275 million, as of December 31, 1942. Oh, and we know those numbers are accurate because Richard Korherr, an SS statistician, also reported them.
Going too fast for you?
Now: Two of these three camps had revolts. The uprising in Treblinka in August 1943 resulted in 600 escapes, but only 40 of those escapees were registered as survivors at the end of the war. The uprising at Sobibor in October resulted in 300 escapees, of whom about 60 were registered as survivors at the end of the war.
Still with me?
Here's the money shot. Belzec had no revolt. Do you know how many registered survivors?
Two.
Why do you think that is?
Let me guess: The Joos planned it all, years ahead of time, such that all those damned lyin' Joos would know to never say they'd been at Belzec?
