Real History and the Jewish Holocaust controversy your Rudolf Vrba index Alphabetical site index (text) [ H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences OnLine ] Reply-To: H-NET List for History of the Holocaust < [email protected] > Sender: H-NET List for History of the Holocaust < [email protected] > Political Agenda 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.
