I was reading this book recently and stumbled upon the following reference to RODOH by Auschwitz-Birkenau Survivor Gabor Hirsch, who claims to be one of the children in the striped uniforms from the post-Liberation Soviet newsreel below (center-rear looking forlornly at the camera).
And here it is:
Hirsch, Gábor (1929-2020), Békéscsaba Auschwitz-Birkenau and Back.
Konstanz, Germany: Hartung-Gorre (2017). ISBN: 9783866286191
worldcat.org/title/1097198645
Christian Gerlach and Goetz Aly's book Das letzte Kapitel: Der Mord an den ungarischen Juden (The Last Chapter: the Murder of the Hungarian Jews) was published in 2002 and sparked lively discussions on internet forums in 2005. The initiator of the discussion in both the H-Holocaust as as well as the RODOH Forums was Sergey Romanov. [...] It was a footnote that sparked the discussion, regarding the deportation and destruction (deportalas es megsemmisites) where the list of Leo Glaser was mentioned. The list features the number of able-bodied men (surviving the first selection at the ramp) of the incoming transports in Auschwitz-Birkenau during the period of 16 May to 20 September 1944. [...]
Leo Glaser's name was mentioned by various witnesses during the Auschwitz trial in Frankfurt. "He was Kapo in the Bekleidungskammer (clothing department)" and as such he had the possibility to create the aforementioned lists. The members of the internet forums RODOH and H-Holocaust deal with the issue for several reasons. The deniers suppose that it shows a lower number of victims for the first selection and thus contradicts the numbers published in the Auschwitz museum and stated by Franciszek Piper. The other side sees the lists as a confirmation of the transport lists of Kosice and the entries in Danuta Czech's Auschwitz Chronicle. I personally do not understand the Hungarian Jewry's lack of interest in the list of Glaser. [Emphases added ~ Scott.]
Gabor Hirsch was a Hungarian-Swiss electrical engineer and anti-Racist/Holocaust activist who as a teenager in Hungary was deported to Auschwitz in the last year of the war along with his Mother who was then sent forward to the Stutthof Labor Camp where she died for unknown reasons. His Father was previously conscripted for frontline service in a Hungarian Labor Battalion and then sent home for old age.
Gabor Hirsch claims that he survived the Dr. Mengele selection process just barely and was spared being gassed at the last minute on another occasion. He was assigned to light duty as an errand boy which got him some extra rations once in awhile. He claims that he saw thousands of Roma from the Gypsy Camp in Birkenau disappear, with the chimneys of the crematoria ovens smoking and glowing red hot.
When he got sick he was sent to the camp infirmary (where he was tattooed with the number B-14781). But by then Himmler had miraculously given the order to halt the gassings of Jews as the Soviets were closing in, so it did not matter that he was not fit to do his extremely light work.
I don't remember the RODOH discussions with Sergey Romanov that are referenced here from 2005 in Hirsch's book. That was the year that I got ran over by a car and I spent half of it in the hospital without any Internet access. This was before WiFi in the hospital, and all I did was try to read (without even being able to hold a book properly), and watch the swearing Chef, Gordon Ramsey on Hell's Kitchen on TV. Believe it or not, Sergey Romanov was one of the moderators here at RODOH, along with Dr. Nick Terry before they all bailed on us and went to the Holocaust Controversies blog. I guess we Deniers were just bad optics for them.
