Chelmno camp today. On the left is the only original surviving building, then used as a two-storey sewing factory. The building on the right is new, built by the Poles for Holocaust tourists.

The Chelmno camp was, according to the politically correct view on the alleged Holocaust and on Holocaust camps, an extermination camp in Poland. Holocaust revisionists argue that it was a transit camp.[1]

"Of Chelmo, we know next to nothing" There are no physical remains[2], no photographs, and only scant mention by witnesses.[3]

Early history

Chelmno (German: Kulm), lies 51 km north-east from Lódz. In 1230, Duke Conrad of Masovia gave the province of Kulm to the Teutonic Knights in return for their agreement to crush the maurauding ancient Prussians.[4] It was subsequently later invaded by Poland and the Order dispossessed.

Chelmno as an alleged extermination camp

From 1939 - 1945 Chelmno fell within the German Reichsgau of Wartheland. The camp allegedly used gas vans as the main killing method.

The revisionist book Chelmno—A German Camp in History and Propaganda states:

The establishment of Chelmno camp fits perfectly into the National Socialist policy of deporting the Jews to the east. [...] No documentary or material trace exists for the use of “gas vans” in this camp. [...] Only one cremation oven has been confirmed archeologically in the Chelmno camp. It would have taken almost nine years to cremate all the bodies of the alleged victims of homicidal gassings in that single crematorium. There are no material traces of the alleged mass cremation. [...] The camp’s claimed death toll number is not based on any documentation. It was set to 1,300,000 by the [Polish communist government's] so-called "Commission of Inquiry into the German Crimes in Poland", but later staggeringly reduced to 340,000 by Judge Bednarz. Polish historiography today assumes a figure of about 152,000 victims, which in practice coincides with the number of Jews who, according to the Korherr Report, were led “through the camps of the Warthegau… 145,301,” plus some 7,000 additional victims for the camp’s claimed second extermination phase in 1944. [...] The ultimate destiny of the Jews who passed through the Chelmno camp was not the alleged “gas vans,” but the region of Pinsk, in particular the area of the Pripyat Marshes, and partly also the Baltic countries.[1]

The book also criticized the alleged 'evidence' that the children of the Bohemian town of Lidice were sent to the Chelmno to be killed after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich as a fiction.[1]

  2. Presumably Dr. Dalton is referring to bodies. A couple of buildings survived, one which was used as a sewing factory. The Poles have today built a couple more as they prepare to create yet another Holocaust tourism site where, doubtless, like Auschwitz, they will claim as many Poles were killed off here as Jews.
