Nazi Gas Chambers: The Roots of the Story

We all know the iconic core of the Holocaust narrative: the Nazis used gas chambers to kill millions of Jews with poison gas. However, if we dig a little deeper to uncover the roots of the story, we find early accounts from the wartime and immediate postwar period that tell quite a different story. They speak of steam chambers, vacuum chambers, electrocution chambers, murder with chlorinated lime in trains, or with toxic fluids. How did we get from this bizarre assortment of claimed murder methods to where we are today?

First, someone clouded the historical record, and then someone else (?) cleaned it up. But who did what? There's no shortage of culprits for inventing atrocity stories, because all countries involved in World War II spread atrocity tales about their enemies. But when it comes to separating what we are told is true from the admitted propaganda, opinions diverge on how it was done.

This book reveals exactly who cleansed the historical record to create an apparently consistent and coherent narrative, and which methods they used. Those looking for evidence of a huge Jewish conspiracy, however, will be disappointed, because that's not how it happened. Instead, the details of the conventional gas-chamber story were defined and documented by... well, read the book and find out!
