Looking for Nazis - 63 years later
The following is an article from the Deutsche Presse-Agentur. I met Efraim Zuroff in April 2005 when he was in Poland. I had just come back from my attempt at finding Lorenz Hackenholt (or Hackenholdt as I usually spell it probably incorrectly) and was the first person to ascertain the death of Frau Hackenholt in […]
Mittelbau Dora
I received yesterday the following correspondence:
My husband saw your video of Mittelbau Dora Concentration Camp on the Internet.
My father was the first soldier to discover Mittelbau Dora on April 10, 1945, and he radioed liberating troops on April 11, 1945, to give them directions to the camp. Unfortunately, on April 11, 1945, his sergeant ordered […]
Former SS living in the Allgau
Took this from today’s Daily Telegraph. Strange that this Nazi is hanging out close to where Lorenz Hackenholdt was living in 1990. I think that some people in the police department in Kempten might have some explaining to do.
Germany continues to shelter a former SS officer who is wanted for murder and for his alleged […]
Compensation, or rather lack of it
The Sunday Times published the following interesting article on the lack of compensation for Nazi era claims. Despite the nonsense put out about the deniers and others, actual compensation paid is probably less than one third of the value of things taken, and that is assuming that human life is worthless.
The Sunday Times author managed […]
Synagogue in Dabie
This synagogue stands just off the market square in Dąbie - but then most buildings stand just off the market square in this village of 4,000 people.
Read ArticleThe road from Dabie to Chelmno
This is the road from Dabie to Chelmno through what seventy years ago was three completely different cultures - Polish Catholics, Germans and Polish Jews. This is the land the Nazis chose to Germanise, deporting the Poles and killing the Jews. They were only half successful. Today only the Poles are left.

Read ArticleRastenburg - The Wolf's Lair

Read ArticlePozezdrze - Himmler's secret HQ
The village of Pozezdrze (Possessern in German) has a very little known secret. To the north of the village lies the former HQ of Heinrich Himmler, a complex of bunkers which today are lost in the forest. Only one bad sign shows what once was here but this could be the place where much of the Shoah was planned together with many of the crimes that Himmler and the SS perpetrated.

Fisher for the Criminal Division announced today.

With David Irving in Auschwitz - Birkenau
I put these films together during the visit of David Irving to the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz - Birkenau. The film has not been censored in any way, it is what I filmed, nothing added and nothing edited and that is why it is so amateur. Films here show the entrance to the […]
