Hello to all, wherever you are. I have two accounts of this most important of Holocaust 'incidents'. One is by a man who took part in the fighting, a rare bird indeed. He's called David Landau, and he wrote his astounding book, "Caged", for his daughter and her decendants. I urge you to pick up a copy and read. The other is more disturbing. It's called "The Warsaw Ghetto No Longer Exists", a leather bound and illustrated report sent to Hitler as a belated birthday present by the commander on the spot, war criminal and mass murderer, Brigadefuhrer Jurgen Stroop.
This article is an experiment of sorts, and is the first time I am aware of that anyone has put these two documents together in this format, outside of Yad Vashem.
I will present a brief introduction, in as far as you can squeeze the incredible sufferings of hundreds of thousands of desperate people into a few inadequate words. We will then move on to the body of the essay, day by day accounts of the 'Aktion', with a little commentary at the end of each from Drusus Nero,where appropriate. I will present Stroops report and others of his ilk in regular type,with his name bold black. Landau's excerpts and others from the sane side of the story, will be in Italics, with names in blue.
Drusus comments will be prefixed green, and in smaller type, to differentiate from the quoted text and avoid confusion. Some of the events can be a little disturbing, but bear with us. This, of all Holocaust material, shows these Nazi soldiers for what they really were; animals masquerading as humans, with no restraint what-so-ever. After 46 years I have found my voice and words. I do not know how this miracle has happened. It is tragically late. Much too late for the whole story to be told and confirmed by the living.
