Gas Chambers Uncovered at Nazi Death Camp

Read Time:1 Minute, 22 Second

The Jerusalem Post reports after seven long years of searching, archaeologists digging in Poland have found the exact location of the Sobibor death camp’s gas chambers. Less had been known about this concentration camp’s chambers, which were razed by the Nazis along with the rest of the site following a prisoner uprising in 1943.

Later, a road was later built over the camp’s remains, and archaeologists searching beneath it uncovered rows of bricks that they believe demarcate what one archaeologist involved in the dig says were eight chambers, Reuters reports. “We were amazed at the size of the building and the well-preserved condition of the chamber walls,” says a second archaeologist, whose relatives were killed at Sobibor.

The ability to determine the size of the chambers is a big win for researchers, who say it will enable them to more accurately determine how many people were killed at the camp; current estimates put the figure at 250,000. As theTelegraph explains, Sobibor was not a work camp like, for example, Auschwitz; all prisoners who arrived here were sent to the gas chambers. As such, few survivor stories exist. In addition to the chambers, a well containing prisoners’ personal items discarded by the Nazis was also found. The archaeologists also surfaced a wedding ring bearing a Hebrew inscription reading, “Behold, you are consecrated unto me.”

Gas chambers uncovered at Nazi death camp is a bit like saying burgers discovered at McDonalds really but no matter. Facetious is my middle name… 😉

If there is one race of people on this entire planet that I have always and will always admire it is the Jews.

I might quibble about what happens in Gaza etc etc but, if you don’t admire the Jewish race and their extraordinary ability to rise from ashes that the rest of us would be totally extinguished by then you have a strange mind.

Ross is quite right of course. More extreme Jews are no better than any other religious extreme and, indeed, most Germans in the 30’s and 40’s did not support the Nazis or certainly the death camps more than likely but – whatever….

The Jews survived decades and more of persecution throughout the world – mainly because they didn’t actually have a country to retreat to and lick their wounds. The decades of persecution of course culminated in the Nazi death camps.

Incredible and extraordinary people and an inspiration to us all at the very least.

I just wish they’d behave a bit about Gaza…you know…just bomb openly military bases. I know! Hamas is hiding under hospitals and such like but come on Israel! You have the technology and where with all to do it right!

Your people suffered hugely for centuries let alone decades. Don’t make another race suffer as you did eh? Get back up to the high moral ground where you belong!

The lesson of Sobibor, for me, is that Jews did fight back. As MadMike – a fellow traveler down this road – knows, I have studied the Holocaust in depth. One question I’m often asked is, why didn’t the Jews fight back? The answer to that question is, they did. Sobibor stands to this day, as one – but far from the only – proof of that.

I like and I saved in my computer pictures collection from your website, the one that explains that if Adolph Hitler prayed for Christian salvation on April 30, 1945 just minutes before he died, Adolph would now be in heaven. But, the Jews he murdered would now be eternally suffering in the Christian hell of eternal fire.

Please don’t get me wrong, as a patriotic American, I respect the 1st Amendment in our U.S. Constitution, for the right of every American to be free to either choose which religion he or she wants to practice. And at the same, I also respect the 1st Amendment right of those us Americans who choose to not have any religion whatsoever, and choose to not worship any gods, whatsoever.

I used to be a Christian fundamentalist myself, until I went through a very traumatic struggle leave the fold and think for myself in 1981. I have been a member of the FREEDOM FROM RELIGION FOUNDATION since 1983. I often visit my online friends at http://www.ex-christian.net

In any American city, have you ever seen any solicitors from the Jews for Jesus cult passing out their propaganda literature? Of course, it is understandable why people of the Jewish faith are offended by the sight of them, and the rest of us ridicule them as idiots who cannot in the real world have it both ways. But, what deeply disturbs me about the Jews for Jesus cultists is that they bash Hitler and his Nazis, and then at the same time joyfully worship a cruel god that has sent their unconverted, passed away, loved ones to eternally suffer in a fiery place, that would make the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz, Sobibor, and Treblinka look like a vacation at Disney World, in the Hamptons, or in beautiful Costa Rica!

Not all Germans went along with Hitler. There were good Germans like Col. Klaus von Stauffenberg and the Oster Conspiracy, who made heroic failed attempts to stop Hitler. Besides Oskar Schindler, there were also good Germans who did good things like provide Jews with false identity papers.

Today plenty of Jews, both in Israel and around the world condemn Israel for what is happening to the Palestinians. In Israel, there are even Jewish human rights activists who are working to stop the human trafficking that is happening within Israel’s borders.

However, I have yet, and I know I never will, find even one Christian who admits that denial for a second chance for salvation after death, and denial for a second chance for salvation after taking the predicted 666 mark of the beast, makes biblegod the worst human rights violator ever to exist! In other words, the Christian god makes Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, and Count Vlad the Impaler, all look like nice Jewish boys!

The Jews for Jesus’ ‘cruel God’ did not and does not send anyone to hell. We choose to go there ourselves, by thinking we don’t need Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. He has given every one of us a choice. To insinuate that right before he died, Hitler just uttered the magic ‘get out of Hell’ words and presto, he went to heaven, is ludicrous. Do you think he could fool God? He wasn’t a Christian and certainly never pretended to be one.

Why is the JFJ crowd out telling people about Jesus? Penn Jillette once said, “How much do you have to hate someone to believe eternal life is possible, and not tell them that?” They’re trying to save as many as possible. You included.

Oh, Wendy. You are playing to the wrong room, sweetie. You’d have better luck, selling tofu at a McDonald’s.
