Eva Scholz's story will be, no doubt already has been, used in "Holocaust Education", yet what does it tell us about the Holocaust as coventionally defined? Very little, nothing in fact.

Take each of the personalities in turn:
- Anne Frank was interned for six months in Auschwitz. As a 14-year-old girl from a bourgeois background she was presumably of little use for hard labour and would not possess valuable trade or professional skills. She was then evacuated to Belsen where she died of typhus in the horrendous epidemic that hit that camp at the end of the war.
- Anne's sister suffered the same fate as Anne.
- Anne's father was allowed to remain in the hospital at Auschwitz where he awaited the arrival of the Russians.
- Anne's mother is believed to have died of disease during the epidemic, but in another camp.
- Eva's father is believed to have died in a camp, but there has been no suggestion of foul play.
- Eva's brother: as her father.
- Eva lived for an unspecified period in Auschwitz despite. presumably having no more qualifications than Anne. She survived her captivity.
- Eva's mother, like Eva, survived her captivity.

So, if this is to be considered a microcosm of the Holocaust, we have 8 people of whom 3 survived 3 died of disease and 2 died of uknown causes but probably disease. The only one to have been, allegedly, selected for gassing somehow managed to avoid it, probably due to that legendary German inefficiency.

A pretty awful picture. All concerned deserve our sympathy and there is plenty to justify calling it a holocaust, but it is not "The Holocaust" as promoted. People who could not work were kept alive. At least 3 of the 8 survived. All the deaths appear to have been from natural causes, not murder, and no sign of a gas chamber anywhere.

The "Holocaust" now enjoys a status that is more like an official state religion than the commemoration of an historical event.
In Germany, even questioning some of the more arcane minutiae (chemical traces in a gas chamber, authenticity of certain documents) of the dogma of the six million can earn a scholar or dissident a hefty prison term.
Historical truths, like any others, do not fear scrutiny or impartial investigation, and do not need the coercive arm of the state to act as a gendarme to protect them.
The fact is that the historical narrative which is propping up the current dystopia of the globalized, debt enslaved and multi-cultural Europe and its American appendix is hanging by the thinnest of threads.
The so called "Final Solution" was emigration, and later, resettlement of the Jews outside of Europe, not their physical extermination.
There never was an order given by Hitler, or any other functionary of the Reich, calling for the murder of all Jews.
There have been no mass graves or traces of remains found which would corroborate anything like the millions of alleged extermination victims.
The "assembly line of death" (mass gassings and cremations) as described by the eyewitnesses- including inmates and contrite SS members- are for the most part, an utter logistical impossibility.
All of the so called "extermination camps" were located in territory subsequently occupied by the Soviets, who were wont to commit atrocities- such as Katyn- and blame them on the Germans.
Must the Shoa business go on?

My life has coincided with the Conversation about this, what is so damaged in our souls? I remember: as a child thinking that all of the silence and anger of the 60s was certainly caused by the "questionaire", it asked Wessies 131 questions to ensure their readiness for Full Western Democracy. Nope, the process was over in a few years, and was remembered in part for causing internees to wear funny clothes... I remember: the BundesKids (Wessies) in the 70s were desperate to know just what the hell had happened, they had been told very little, the ruins of the Camp system were as mysterious to them as Mayan pyramids. Explaining Dad's behavior was not required for them, just a brief explanation covering why half of the country is missing, and why their culture is the World's synonym for bad.
I remember: OssieKids were completely different, by the 70s they were jaded about the whole of history. The Soviets did not even bother with a questionaire, Nazis were put right back into positions of authority. Trust me, the transition to the western ways is baffling, and only in the West was there a special fascination for the hitlertime.
I remember: Operation Paperclip families. For one dollar a day, and no formal status in America, selected engineers and scientists worked for Nasa and the US Department of Defense. I have noticed that now, 67 years later, they are still sometimes condemned. 131 questions answered carefully would not have helped. I remember Huntsville engineers singing the Horst Wessel Lied for US Astronauts in Florida. The children of these immigrants now number in the thousands. I remember being shown the US space program during the Apollo program, they were building Moonships for America.
I married a girl who had not been taught that she was Jewish, she had recreated the entire religion and culture of her ancestors from books. Life is still an adventure with her, we have a Daughter now, Miriam. We have a new world. Neue Heimat.
