CONGRESSMAN HOWARD BERMAN, D-Calif. (CR-House, 4/24/84, p.H2982): It should be a source of concern to all of us that to this day Turkey does not acknowledge, despite eyewitness accounts, either the facts or its historical responsibility; for the line from Armenia to Auschwitz is direct.

In 1939 as he was beginning his invasion of Poland, Hitler ordered the mass extermination of its inhabitants, commenting, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" Humanity's failure to remember the genocide of an entire people scarcely 25 years earlier gave Hitler the go ahead to exterminate millions of innocent people.

Ahmadinejad "has cast himself as Adolf Hitler reincarnated", according to one of the Wall Street Journal's regular columnists, George Melloan, while others, including Senator John McCain, have suggested that the current moment is equivalent to Europe in the 1930s.

Maybe that was due to larger funds available and, maybe, because of the intentions of the grantors (who perceived the ŻKN and Bund leaderships not merely as representatives of definite political orientations but as the only existing Jewish underground organizations through whom they could reach all those in hiding).
Talking to the Council's Rek and Berman on 28 October 1943, the Government Plenipotentiary "recommended marking more distinct boundaries of their sheltering operations in order to normalize relations between them and to avoid sparing the same money twice." That was however a request very hard to fulfil.
Tadeusz Rek and Adolf Berman, who represented the Council, gave a precise outline of its difficult situation: because of a lack of funds it was unable to provide care for all those seeking help, meanwhile the allowance for the Council's old charges had to be reduced from 500 złoty to 300 złoty--350 złoty per person.

 Treblinka
Adolf Eichmann, the wartime head of the SS Jewish affairs section, said in 1961 during pre-trial interrogation in Israel that during the war he "was told" that Jews were gassed at Treblinka "with potassium cyanide." (note 19)
According to Polish-Jewish historian Rachel Auerbach, fuel to burn bodies was not needed at Treblinka because "the bodies of woman," which had more fat, "were used to kindle, or more accurately put, to build the fires among the piles of corpses." Even more incredible, "blood, too, was found to be first-class combustion material," she wrote.
Berman's testimony, which was considered one of the most emotionally moving of the Eichmann trial, is completely inconsistent with known facts.
