I'm not saying that the gas chambers didn't exist. I couldn't see them myself.

When you write a two thousand page history of the Second World War, the deportations and the concentration camps will take up five pages, and the gas chambers perhaps 20 lines.

If you take a book of a thousand pages on the Second World War, in which 50 million people died, the concentration camps occupy two pages and the gas chambers ten or 15 lines, and that's what one calls a detail.

I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.

Man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.

Pious XII was too neutral to mention the gas chambers; decent people like my own family were turned into devils by crude Christianity.
