Jedwabne Forensics: A Crippled and Shortened Forensic Dig, At Jedwabne in 2000, Points to German Responsibility for the Massacre

ARCHEOLOGICAL STUDIES AND EFFORTS AT EXHUMATION AT THE LOCATION OF THE DEATHS OF THE JEWS AT JEDWABNE NEAR LOMZA, is the title of this unpublished manuscript, available on the Internet. Author Andrzej Kola is a forensic specialist.

GERMAN MAUSER SHELLS, AT THE SITE, CANNOT BE EXPLAINED AWAY

The author reported a find of 46 Mauser shells at the site. (p. 5). The Pole-blamers have desperately tried to rationalize away this evidence of German involvement, as by alleging (without evidence) that there had been a combat skirmish, near the site of the barn, long after the massacre, and towards the end of the war, accounting for the shells.

This will not do. A bullet shell was found under the buried Lenin statue, proving that the shell could not possibly have originated sometime after the massacre. (p. 11). An intact bullet with melted lead likewise disproves the claim that the shells originated at the site sometime after the massacre and barn-burning. (p. 11).

Finally, the bullet shells could not have originated, at the site, before the massacre either. This owes to the fact that some of the shells are intertwined with the skeletal elements. (p. 11). They had to have been part of the massacre itself.

300-400 JEWISH VICTIMS, NOT 1,600 or 3,200

Kola surveyed the mass grave area. By comparing the site to other massacres, and assuming the usual depth of 2 meters for such mass graves, he arrived at a figure of 300-400 Jewish victims, but closer to 300. (p. 12). So, unless the Jedwabne mass grave actually extended  to fantastic and unprecedent depths, the number of Jewish victims can be nowhere near 1,600.

To this day, part of the media continues promoting 1,600 or even 3,200 victims. If it makes for a better Jewish-victimization, anti-Polish story, why not?

THE CONTRIVED FUSS ABOUT VIOLATING JEWISH RELIGIOUS LAW

In no sense was the 2000 forensic dig a proper exhumation. The investigators were handcuffed from the beginning. They were allowed to brush the dirt down to the level of the bones, and to brush the dirt from off the bones, but they were not allowed to lift or move the bones. (p. 7).

Rabbi Michael Schudrich raised more and more objections, as if desperate to halt the forensic investigation as soon as possible. The investigators had to hurry up, because the rabbis were leaving on a trip. Besides this, the Jewish Sabbath could not be violated.

MONEY FOUND ON THE JEWISH VICTIMS

The investigators found keys, money, etc., on the victims. (p. 6). Now, a major meme pushed by the Holocaust Industry is the one about Poles being greedy about acquiring Jewish property. Note that the find of money on the victims refutes Jan T. Gross’ argument that Poles killed Jews at Jedwabne because they wanted their money.
