POST SCRIPT
PS: He was the 201st man sent to the gas chambers one morning - but it was full after 200. 'That saved my life,' he said. 'I was then sent back to the camp.' Do you think that the the alleged gas chambers had ''occupancy limits'' like elevators...''occupancy by more than 200 people is dangerous'' and this is what saved his life? --joe

To The Editor,
Let me see if I understand the article that appeared in today's Times about Holocaust survivor Yitzhak Ganon's aversion to doctors. ( ''Heart Treated, Old Wound Opened'' : NY Times , Dec. 13, 2009 ). According to the article Yitzhak was so traumatized by having his kidney removed by the infamous Dr. Mengele without anesthesia some 65 years ago while an inmate at Auschwitz that he refused to ever visit a doctor again. '' Mr. Ganon was tied down on a table, and without anesthesia was cut open by Dr. Mengele, who then removed a kidney. '' I saw the kidney pulsating in his hand and cried like a crazy man '' Mr. Ganon said.''
Although expected when dealing with claims of Holocaust survivors, it is still astonishing that, that the America's so-called ''newspaper of record '' would put aside accepted practices and procedures of journalism and not challenge such an outrageous assertion. For one thing , a '' removed kidney would not pulsate '' but more importantly a kidney removal without anesthesia would have most certainly killed him. To it's credit the Times story omitted another claim reported by some of the wire service versions of the story that he was sent back to work within days of the operation. Neither did the Times include the claim that the reason he survived was that he was # 201 on the line for the gas chamber whose capacity was 200. ( Shouldn't he then have been the first to go with the next batch of 200? )

Debating the Holocaust: A New Look at Both Sides By Thomas Dalton
In this remarkable, balanced book, the author skillfully reviews and compares "traditional" and "revisionist" views on the "The Holocaust."
On one side is the traditional, orthodox view -- six million Jewish casualties, gas chambers, cremation ovens, mass graves, and thousands of witnesses. On the other is the view of a small band of skeptical writers and researchers, often unfairly labeled "deniers," who contend that the public has been gravely misled about this emotion-laden chapter of history.
The author establishes that the arguments and findings of revisionist scholars are substantive, and deserve serious consideration. He points out, for example, that even the eminent Jewish Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg acknowledged that there was no budget, plan or order by Hitler for a World War II program to exterminate Europe's Jews.
This book is especially relevant right now, as "Holocaust deniers" are routinely and harshly punished for their "blasphemy," and as growing numbers of people regard the standard, Hollywoodized "Holocaust" narrative with mounting suspicion and distrust.
The author of this book, who writes under the pen name of "Thomas Dalton," is an American scholar who holds a doctoral degree from a major US university.
This is no peripheral debate between arcane views of some obscure aspect of twentieth century history. Instead, this is a clash with profound social-political implications regarding freedom of speech and press, the manipulation of public opinion, how our cultural life is shaped, and how power is wielded in our society.
