Willy Wenger, WWII combat veteran, holds his just published memoir at a book presentation in Gleichenberg, Austria on May 12th, seven  days after turning 90 years old. His wife Wilma stands at left, Frau Bürgermeisterin Christine Siegl at right.

"BERLIN SPRING 1945" IS A NEW TITLE PUBLISHED BY THE AUSTRIAN CARINA VERLAG. It relates Wenger's experience as a young soldier from the Steiermark, full of ideals and loyalty to his country who, before his pilot training was completed, was placed on the front line at Seelow Heights for the defense of Berlin. With his company, he was forced to retreat back to Berlin, where the Battle of Berlin was raging. How this 19 year-old survived several months of chaotic conditions and a badly wounded foot to find his way back to his hometown of Leoben is a powerful and worthwhile contribution to the history of the the war from the German side.

The book is basically what I have published, translated into English, in the Wenger Family Archive here at CarolynYeager.net, but with some differences, Wenger says. It features a forward by the well-known Brigadier-ret J. Paul Puntigam, Chief of Infantry and Commandant of the Jägerschule. Here is a video of him speaking at the Press Club in Graz in 2013 on the topic “We need reform.”

Martin Gray: Another Polish Jew surlievor* who wanted his people to be seen as heroic

Published by carolyn on Sat, 2016-05-14 01:15

Martin Gray in old age. Throughout his life as an entrepreneur, he wrote a number of books, but his most famous one was written by someone else.


 By Carolyn Yeager

When I myself told Gray, the “author”, that he had manifestly never been to, nor escaped from Treblinka, he finally asked, despairingly: “But does it matter?” Wasn’t the only thing that Treblinka did happen, that it be written about, and that some Jews should be shown to have been heroic? -Gitta Sereny, holocaust historian

The French writer Martin Gray, known for his autobiographical book For those I loved, was found dead in the pool of his house in Ciney, Belgium on 25 April 2016 at the age of 93. Continue reading at Elie Wiesel Cons The World

Former president of Mexico insists that illegal invasion will continue whether US wants it or not

Published by carolyn on Wed, 2016-05-11 01:20

Vincente Fox, right, and Ben Mathis, host of Kickass Politics Podcast. Mathis shared the photo with the message: "Vincente Fox and I have a message for Donald Trump." Why does MSM ignore this?

Vincente Fox was president of Mexico for six years, from 2000 to 2006, as a member of the conservative National Action Party (PAN). He was the first president elected from a party in opposition to the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) since 1910! During his presidency, he stirred up more than the average amount of controversy because of his free-wheeling style.

He's still at it, but now he's openly encouraging Mexicans to force their way into the United States illegally. It's well-known the Mexican government has always encouraged it's people to go and find work in the U.S., though they outwardly deny it or say that US businesses want them to come and it works out to everyone's benefit. Unfortunately, that is partially true. It's also true that it amounts to an occupation of U.S. territory by Mexican nationals and loyalists. But that's another story.

Now Fox has gone even further on a program with “Kickass Politics” on May 10th. As he was haranguing against Donald Trump and his wall, Fox said:

“Don’t play around with us. We can jump walls. We can swim rivers. And we can defend ourselves.”

Newly-elected AfD state parliamentarian speaks at PEGIDA rally on May 9th

Published by carolyn on Tue, 2016-05-10 16:03

AfD deputy in the Saxony state parliament, Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, speaking at the Pegida rally in Dresden on Monday, May 9, 2016.

Islam expert Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, who is freshly elected by direct mandate to represent the Alterrnative für Deutschland (AFD) in the Saxony state parliament, was a speaker at Monday's Pegida rally in Dresden.

He said he will always support Pegida because it deserves support.   Pegida has laid the groundwork for the current Islam-policy of AFD, and Pegida was against the EU and wants instead a Europe of nations.

Pegida was also against Islamization, said Tillschneider. Islam is just fine in it's his home territory, but "we just do not want it here with us, in our home, where it is foreign," he said. "Don't let yourself be persuaded that position is xenophobic and Islamophobic".

Wiesel archivist finds another version of “Night” – now there are six!

Published by carolyn on Sun, 2016-05-08 16:26

Elie Wiesel, right, in his office at Boston University with his Israeli editor and archivist, Joel Rappel, who announced the discovery of a Hebrew version of “Night” in an exclusive report to Haaretz.

By Carolyn Yeager

The controversy about the origins of “Night” is given more fuel by the recent announcement of Dr. Joel Rappel that he found a 150-page, handwritten document in Hebrew in the unsorted mass of Elie Wiesel’s personal papers.

I wrote about Yoel Rappel’s relationship with Elie Wiesel two years ago. Wiesel selected this Israeli journalist, editor and media expert he has known for decades to have control over how his writings and life story will be presented to the public – meaning what will be presented and what withheld. While Boston University is going to house the Wiesel Archive, it is not in control of it. Wiesel brought Dr. Rappel to Boston, put him on the payroll as “visiting scholar”, then put him in in charge of the Wiesel archive project.

I will go into some detail about this “newly discovered document” but first I want to list the six (oh, that number always comes up, doesn’t it?) versions of Night. They are:

1) 1954 – The original Yiddish manuscript, 862 typed pages, (No one has ever seen this, but more on that later)

2) 1955 – The edited and published Yiddish Un di velt hot geshvign – 245 book pages (in Hebrew characters, not our alphabet)

3) 1958 – La Nuit, original French – about 120 pages

4) 1960 – Night in English, Stella Rodway translation from French – 107 pages

5) 2006 – Night in English, Marion Wiesel new translation with numerous changes – 112 pages

6) late 1950’s, discovered in 2016 – Night in Hebrew, handwritten by Elie Wiesel – 150 pages (unfinished? – no one has seen this one either) Continue reading at Elie Wiesel Cons The World

Hate and the Holocaust on Israel's Yom Ha'shoah Day

Published by carolyn on Thu, 2016-05-05 19:41

By Carolyn Yeager

In honor of Yom Ha'shoah on this May 5, 2016, MSN News runs a story they picked up from the Mail&Guardian, a British South African newspaper, titled “Holocaust a grim reminder of dangers of allowing racial hatred to run wild.” The key words in that title are “racial hatred.” This is the message the Jews are trying very, very hard to establish as a “problem” for the entire Western world. And of course, for them it all goes back to persecution of Jews which over time led to “the Holocaust.” A tidy story we're all familiar with.

But pay attention! It's the expression of racial hatred that is the problem. Because, of course you can't stop people from disliking other people, but they can be stopped from expressing that dislike. This is what was enforced in the Soviet Union after the Russian revolution in 1917 and again in defeated Germany after 1945. Jews, especially, have to be protected since, as a race, they work against the interests of the national people in whatever country they're in, and thus are highly disliked.

PEGIDA's Lutz Bachmann found guilty in corrupt German court

Published by carolyn on Wed, 2016-05-04 01:25

Lutz Bachmann speaking at a PEGIDA demonstration.

WHAT ELSE COULD ONE EXPECT?

A district court in the eastern German city of Dresden ruled on Tuesday, May 3, that Lutz Bachmann must pay a penalty of 9,600 euros ($11,044), after being found guilty of the idiotic charge of inciting hatred, a German legal specialty originating from the American occupation of Germany that began in 1945.

Prosecutors asked for a seven-month prison sentence (!) for using the words cattle, scum and trash on Facebook to describe foreign terrorists coming into the country from Africa and West Asia. Imagine, 7 months in prison for something as tame as that!

Bachmann's attorney had asked for an aquittal. The verdict is not yet legally binding pending a 3rd court session on May 10.

The Holocaust and the conundrum of self-blame

Published by carolyn on Mon, 2016-05-02 02:12

By Carolyn Yeager

The release of Eric Hunt's new Holocaust revisionist film Questioning The Holocaust: Why We Believed, Part 1” has brought to the fore some disagreements within the revisionist community. Nothing too unusual because they've always been there, but interestingly, it spills over, just by chance, to include the Alt-Right community too.

What I'm speaking of is revisionist Michael Hoffman's complaint to and about Eric Hunt, and also Kevin MacDonald's recent article posted at The Occidental Observer titled, “Northern Europeans less prone to “blaming the other.” These separate items come together in the question of “Who is to blame” for the problems facing White European peoples in the 21st century.

When it comes to the “Holocaust”, the so-called Alternative Right de facto position (wherein I place Kevin MacDonald) is that Hitler was responsible and all we can do is admit it and move on. It does no good to waste any time on it.
