For years, Joseph Hirt has traveled the country telling of his escape from Auschwitz as a wildly emaciated "60-pound skeleton with skin" who slipped beneath an electric fence to freedom and later to a new life in America. The Adamstown, Penn., resident has spoken at schools and libraries, in roundtables and to newspaper reporters, time and time again. But during a recent presentation to a group in upstate New York, a skeptic emerged from within his usual audience of admirers. Now, that skeptic says his research shows that much of the 90-year-old's harrowing story is a lie ... Reid was instead struck by discrepancies in Hirt's version of events and in the evidence Hirt provided in support of his claims. Hirt's nephew has since acknowledged his story as a lie.

A 94-year-old former SS sergeant who served as a guard at Auschwitz has been found guilty of more than 170,000 counts of accessory to murder for helping kill 1.1 million Jews and others at the Nazi death camp.


The Detmold state court sentenced Reinhold Hanning to five years in prison, though he will remain free while any appeals are heard.

During his four-month trial, Hanning admitted serving as an Auschwitz guard. He said he was ashamed that he was aware Jews were being killed but did nothing to try to stop it.



"It disturbs me deeply that I was part of such a criminal organisation," he told the court in April. "I am ashamed that I saw injustice and never did anything about it and I apologise for my actions."

Despite his age, Hanning has seemed alert during the four-month trial, paying attention to testimony and occasionally walking in to the courtroom on his own, though usually using a wheelchair.

Several equally elderly Auschwitz survivors testified at the trial about their own experiences, and were among about 40 survivors or their families who joined the process as co-plaintiffs as allowed under German law.

Leon Schwarzbaum, a 95-year-old Auschwitz survivor from Berlin who was used as slave labourer to help build a factory for Siemens outside the camp, told the court at the start of the trial that he regularly saw flames belching from the chimneys of the Auschwitz crematorium.

"So much fire came out of the chimneys, no smoke, just fire," he told the court. "And that was burning people."

Schwarzbaum later said he does not want Hanning to go to prison and is happy that he apologised, but had hoped that he would have provided more details about his time in Auschwitz for the sake of educating younger generations.


"The historical truth is important," Schwarzbaum said.

Hanning joined the Hitler Youth with his class in 1935 at age 13, then volunteered at 18 for the Waffen SS in 1940 at the urging of his stepmother. He fought in several battles in World War II before being hit by grenade splinters in his head and leg during close combat in Kiev in 1941.

He told the court that as he was recovering from his wounds he asked to be sent back but his commander decided he was no longer fit for frontline duty, and so sent him to Auschwitz, without his knowing what it was.

Though there is no evidence Hanning was responsible for a specific crime, he was tried under new legal reasoning that as a guard he helped the death camp operate, and thus could be tried for accessory to murder. Though the indictment against Hanning is focused on a period between January 1943 and June 1944 for legal reasons, the court has said it would consider the full time he served there.

The same argumentation being used in Hanning's case was used successfully last year against SS sergeant Oskar Groening, to convict him of 300,000 counts of accessory to murder for serving in Auschwitz. Germany's highest appeals court is expected to rule on the validity of the Groening verdict sometime this summer.

Groening, 95, was sentenced to four years in prison but will remain free while his case goes through the lengthy appeals process and is unlikely to spend any time behind bars, given his age.

In Hanning's case, prosecutor Andreas Brendel recommended six years in prison while his defence attorneys argued for an acquittal, rejecting the new legal reasoning.


Interesting how they say they saw fires coming out of a chimney in Aushwitz. In Dr Fredrick Töben's docco "Judea declares war on Germany" He shows an air raid shelter with a chimney that wasn't even connected.

That's the standard Holohoaxer claim: Either the chimneys were belching fire, black smoke or brown smoke and there was a smell like Kentucky Fried Chicken covering the entire region. As Dr Töben proved in his interviews with crematorium owners with a knowledge of burning black coal and brown coal, there is practically no evidence that an active crematorium is burning bodies. Ask a Jew and they'll tell you the crematorium is kept in the outback somewhere so it won't bother anyone. Ask any crematorium worker and they'll tell you that they work in your home suburb. No belching fires or smoke and no K.F. bloody C.

Another lying holohoaxer busted, but not by the authority of the JOG. Meanwhile, a dying old man has the remaining days of his life destroyed.
