Sack, Provan and Religion-A Disaster for Revisionism

A thorough reading of this article makes it indisputably clear that Mr Sack
and Mr Provan are two individuals who interpret the *holocaust* in a very
personal way, seeking to extrapolate moral and spiritual lessons from what
they believe occurred at Auschwitz and other concentration camps. Sack
himself quite candidly expressed himself on this point in his book,
*An Eye for an Eye.*

And so he repeats this performance in the Esquire article in a very clever
way, by shoving Mr Provan and his theories into the limelight. True to form,
Mr Provan is immediately served up to the readers as the pivotal figure in
this drama, a man who was *once* a revisionist, but due to his religious
convictions and the testimony of Konrad Morgen, apostasizes. Thus, the
article points out that Provan is against not only birth control (and the
article proves it by portraying his ten children, all bearing Biblical names)
but implies that he would also be opposed to abortion. His religious values
are stressed as a factor which led in one way or another to his revision of
revisionism. And then Sack drops the time bomb: Provan examines and
*proves* the thoroughly discredited testimonies of Felix Gerstein regarding mass
extermination! However, the conclusions which now must be drawn from that
discovery are horrid! The *holocaust* was not about killing innocent men and
women, which would be horrific enough--but no, it is about the mass
extermination of children and infants! To wit: <BR>

"Seven to eight hundred persons on twenty-five square meters. More than half
are children....What? Seven to eight hundred people on twenty-five square
meters? "Impossible," "Incredible," "Nonsensical," wrote the jeering
deniers."

But then, according to Sack, Provan has a sudden illumination, perhaps even
from celestial regions-

"For forty-five years, no one had troubled himself to see if seven to eight
hundred people could fit on twenty-five square meters until Provan, in
Monogahela, read these words in the Confessions:

"More than half are children."

"Well, if I've got one thing, thought Provan, it's children, and he put down
the book and took his five children and one big baby doll into an upstairs
bedroom. "What are you doing?," asked Mrs. Provan.

"An experiment: How many kids can fit in a gas chamber."

And so, Mr. Provan becomes not only the one single individual in the entire
world who can now "prove" that the holocaust occurred exactly as described by
Gerstein, but he also becomes the solitary individual who will also travel to
Auschwitz, (again, with his children) in order to identify once and for all
the existence of holes in the roof of krema II which allegedly served as gas
induction ports! Out of the mouths of babes!

*Revisionists,* on the other hand, are invariably depicted by Sack as
benighted fools, foolishly pointing out foolish quotations from the Talmud
which no Jew takes or ever took seriously. Indeed, in rather ill-described
detail, the article points to the most influential *revisionists* (in this
case, those who have endured the worst harassment and persecution) as
self-deluded and filled with ill-concealed hostility and anger, who are
blinded to the spiritual truth as revealed to and by Mr. Provan. Undoubtedly
Mr. Provan is a righteous individual and sincere in what he believes, but
beliefs and imagined spiritual illuminations, in and of themselves, however
well intentioned, are not convincing scientific evidence.

Significantly, Sack concludes his article by noting that "I and the Jews in
An Eye for an Eye *devoutly* believe that the Holocaust happened." And
therein lies the crux of his entire case, the entire core of his beliefs, -
and Provan's - which are based upon an indefinable mystery tauted as
*devotion." They are spiritual devotees of a Hollywood Holocaust cult where
all evidence is reviewuated in symbolic and religious tones, ala Van Pelt, the
Prima Donna of "Mr. Death," who portrayed Fred Leuchter's sample-taking of
evidence at Auschwitz in blasphemous terms, ala Elie Wiesel--describing
Leuchter as an iconoclast, who impudently and stupidly dares to enter and
desecrate the *Holy of Holies* by taking samples of evidence for scientific
testing.

Thus, whatever scraps or concessions Sack offered revisionism in this lengthy
article, pale in contrast to the fact that, viewed in its entirety, Sack's
article ultimately portrays revisionists as harmless people in and of
themselves, who serve as apologists for those whose task and pleasure in life
was to exterminate children. It is an evil image, an image in accord with
mass abortionists and earlier attempts to lump revisionism into the same
category with child molesters on the net. It is an image which should ring
the sound of alarm among all revisonists throughout the world, who are now
branded with the additional stigma of being apologists for child
murderers-murders which have now assumed a frightening *ritual* connotation,
just as Jews were once accused of ritual child murder...The holocaust libel
has now become a true "Blood Libel." The horror has now run full circle,
simply because those obsti! nate revisionists refuse to believe the holocaust
Gospel as revealed to Chuck Provan and his disciple, Mr. Sack.
