Agenda Wednesday, July 19, 2000 From: Rudolf
Vrba
[Walter Rosenberg] UNDER this title [POLITICAL AGENDA] a certain
Mr.Honey published in H-Holocaust Digest of 12-14th July
(#2000-186) the fifth (!) part of his analysis of my
personal memories and recollections from Auschwitz ( not
"History of Auschwitz "as Mr. Honey claims). This last
installment of the work published in H- Holocaust Digest
by Mr. Honey is titled as [Political Agenda]. In
his articles Mr.Honey refers only to an edition of my
book which is by now for years out of print. Thus your
readers have no easy possibility to form their own
opinion by comparing the review of Mr. Honey directly
with the contents of an available copy of my book . To
remedy this situation I wish to inform you and your
readers that a new edition of my book is now available
accompanied by about 100-pages of additional
documentation, which might supplement Mr.Honey's above
mentioned thesis. A few copies of this
NEW edition of my book
("I cannot forgive")
are still available from Regent College Publishing House,
and can be ordered by phone toll- free from
1-800-663-8664; by fax from (604)-224-3097 or by e-mail
from [email protected] For
those who prefer to read in other than English language,
the book is now available also in Czech (Sefer, Prague
1998), Hebrew (Haifa University Press, 1998) or German
(Piper, Munich 1999). Also, three very contemporary new studies (listed
below sub 1-3) published just before the end of this
century might be a useful suplementary source of
additional and perhaps more global information relevant
to the portentuous events which took place during the
first half of the year 1944 in Birkenau and were
scrutinized by Mr. Honey in H- Holocaust 2000-186 and
before.

I
hope these materials will be a useful complement to Mr.
Honey's extensive studies of the relevant period in
Birkenau published in Holocaust List recently. Yours truly Rudolf
