“We acknowledge the receipt of your order for five triple furnaces including two electric elevators for raising the corpses and one emergency elevator..”

–excerpt of letter from I A Topf and Sons, manufacturers of heating equipment to the commandant of Auschwitz concerning the new “heating system.”

“…for putting the bodies into the furnace we suggest simply a metal fork moving on cylinders….For transporting the corpses we suggest using light carts on wheels.”

–excerpt of letter from Didier and Co, Berlin to the same.

“Another improvement we made over Treblinka was that we built our gas chambers to accommodate 2000 people at a time, whereas at Triblinka their gas chambers only accommodated 200 people each.

—trial of commandant of Auschwitz

“Most of you must know what it means when 100 corpses are lying side by side, or 500 or 1000. To have stuck it out and at the same time–apart from exceptions due to human weakness–to have remained decent fellows, that is what has made us hard.  this page of glory in our history which has never been written and is never to be written.”

—Himmler in a speech to SS Generals Oct 4, 1943


Prelude to the involuntary exile of hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers” by a pitiless administration.  The “accommodations” are being prepared.  By their exile to countries many of which have never before seen, America will be made great again  —return to the glory of yore.  The men and women of the DHS may feel a twinge of self-pity.  But that is the cost of “doing the right thing.”  All for the American people.  The question will be unasked of how many families will be ripped apart, damaged irremediably by this inhuman act?

Meanwhile our leader is away touring Asia.  It is reported that he may meet with like minded leaders, Duterte of the Philippines, and Putin of Russia.  Naturally the trip will include fine dinners and some rounds of golf.
