Polish-Jewish Relations: 1,300 Keyword-Phrase-Indexed Book Reviews (by Jan Peczkis)

Religia “Holocaustu”, by Tomasz Gabis. 2006. AAARGH Verlag, Internet

Holocaust Religion. Fantastic Properties, Ascribed to the Holocaust, That Never Are Even Imagined for Any Other Genocide

THE RELIGION OF THE HOLOCAUST is the title of this Polish-language book. This small book, published simultaneously in Polish and German, packs quite a punch. Holocaust supremacism has expanded far beyond just marginalizing all non-Jewish genocides. It has become an all-encompassing ideology that enjoys the prerogative of remaking everything it touches.

THE MEMORY OF THE HOLOCAUST RULES OVER ALL

Whether it is Jan Bonski, Jerzy Kosinski vel Lewinkopf, or someone else, the Holocaust has become a myth. The Holocaust is no longer treated as just another historical event, such as the Punic Wars or the extermination of the Tasmanians. (p. 3). It has become one of the central myths of western thinking. The fact that European nations punish Holocaust denial underscores the fact that the Holocaust has become sacrosanct. The Holocaust is not something that happened in the past: It is now part of the eternal present. Yehuda Bauer (p. 4) has declared that the Holocaust has become the dominant symbol of our time.

Roy Eckhardt has said that Hitler’s decision to kill the Jews was an “eschatological event”. But no one says that dropping that atom bomb on Hiroshima was an “eschatological event”. Neither were the acts of Robespierre, Pol Pot, or Stalin. (p. 8). They cannot possibly measure up to the Holocaust, which has become a supreme religion.

HOLOCAUST SUPREMACY ELEVATED EVEN ABOVE GOD

The author identifies Abraham Foxman of the Zionist ADL (Anti-Defamation League) as one who specializes in defaming others as anti-Semites. (p. 8). Foxman has deified the Holocaust as a “singular event”. It is not just another act of genocide: It is an attack on the People of God, and therefore an assassination attempt on God. (pp. 8-9). Amazing! So Jews are now divine. Isn’t this the highest form of idolatry, which Jews especially profess to despise?

Author Gabis does not mention the fact that this teaching long predates the German-made Holocaust. The Talmud teaches that an assault on a Jew is equivalent to an assault on God. See:

No other people believe that an attack on them is equal to an attack on God. What does this tell us?

This goes on and on. Tomasz Gabis (p. 9) cites Gunnar Heinsohn, a German author who proposed that Hitler wanted to destroy the Jews because they are the ones that introduced God, ethics, and the Ten Commandments. Too bad that there is nothing in Nazi ideology that hints at any such motive. Now, Communists are the ones that have a special and pathological hatred of God, Judeo-Christian morality, and the Decalogue. So, if anything, shouldn’t Communists, rather than Nazis, be the ones that should be destroying the Jews? But there are many Jews in Communism, so that won’t work.

THE MYSTIFICATION OF THE HOLOCAUST–TAKEN TO INSANE EXTREMES. HOLOCAUSTIANITY ACTIVELY ATTEMPTS TO SUPPLANT CHRISTIANITY

Christianity, in place of the actual guilty party–the Germans–is blamed for the Holocaust. That is old news. But now it goes much further. Elie Wiesel said that it was Christianity, and not the Jews, that perished at Auschwitz. (p. 12). Boundless idiocy. Should we conclude that Jewish ethics died, in the Soviet Union, when many Jews turned to Communism and killed millions of people?

For Jews like Gary Hart, the Holocaust is an absolutely unique event that has eclipsed Christ’s Sacrifice in the Cross and the Salvation won by it. (p. 10). The Holocaust must be magic! No one else’s genocide is even imagined to have such properties. Other Jews have followed suit. Polish Jew Henryk Grynberg has spoken of the Crucifixion of 6 million Jews. George Steiner wrote of the murdered Jews being a sacrifice to God’s indifference and absence and powerlessness. (p. 10). Pope John Paul II has fallen into this egregious Judeocentric ideation. He spoke, during his visit to Auschwitz, of the Shoah as the Golgotha of our time. Jewish philosopher Emil Fackenheim has trivialized the Crucifixion of Christ, saying that it is nothing compared to the death of 6 million Jews. (p. 11). So once again, Jews are divine.

Talk of changing Christian theology, to fit the Holocaust, knows no counterpart. No one else’s genocide is ever even imagined to require a change in Christian theology. It is sick Jewish racism of the highest order.

THE AUSCHWITZ CARMELITE CONVENT AND CROSS CONTROVERSIES

Bishop Pieronek defended the presence of Crosses at Auschwitz, pointing out that pluralism and tolerance depend upon respecting the religious symbols of other faiths. (p. 15). Hear that, Jews? Evidently, tolerance goes in only one direction.

JEWS WHO DISSENT FROM HOLOCAUSTIANITY

Tomasz Gabis (pp. 34-35) discusses some Jews who reject Holocaustianity. The main reason for doing so is the fact that Holocaustianity does not square with traditional Judaism. For example, consider Michael Goldberg:
