Vatican: Holocaust Denying Bishop Must Apologize and Recant Falsehoods

We discussed on this blog the pathetic 'apology" Bishop Richard Williamson gave to the Jewish people and the Pope for his inexcusable denial of the Holocaust. The excommunicated bishop apologized for any hurt feelings he caused, but would not recant his dangerous lies.

Any knowledgeable person accepts the historical facts and tragedy concerning Nazi genocide. Bishop Williamson was originally excommunicated for not following the edicts of Vatican 2, but Pope Benedict wished to incorporate the excommunicated clergy back into the Church.  At the time this occurred,Pope Benedict was not aware of these outrageous statements made by Williamson. Bishop Williamson had stated on a Swedish program that he did not believe 6 million Jews had been exterminated, and that none had died in the gas chambers.

Williamson recently said he was giving his interview statement based on '20 year old evidence". That is a jack-ass statement by any standards. Perhaps, Eisenhower,if alive today, would have wished that Williamson had been able to make these death camp tours with him.

As for evidence, General Dwight D. Eisenhower liberated the Jewish death camps. The following letter sums the experience well:

Philip Rosen 
Jewish Exponent

Eisenhower liberated the camps and the survivors. 

Much credit must go to the supreme commander of the Allied forces on the Western Front upon the liberation of the concentration camps during the closing days of the war, April/May 1945. He also acted humanely toward the inmates in the period immediately following the collapse of the Third Reich. 

The first camp, Ohrdruf, was overrun. The term "overrun" is used because G.I.s did not liberate in the sense that a firefight occurred; the Americans wandered upon the camps without design. 

Gen. Dwight D. ...

It should also be noted that General Eisenhower insisted that as many photos be made for historical purposes. Eisenhower knew that what they were witnessing was so indescribable, that only photographs could really document the grizzly horror that Allied Forces witnessed. We should note as well that this was longer than 20 years ago. An educated bishop should be embarrassed and humiliated for making such a damaging statement. One would hope he was not trying to stir anti-Semitic feelings in a world so susceptible to this disgusting bigotry.

Ike reviewing the Horror

April 10, 1945 - The Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald was liberated by U.S. troops. Located near Weimar in Germany, Buchenwald was established in July of 1937 to hold criminals and was one of the first major concentration camps. It later included Jews and homosexuals and was used as a slave labor center for nearby German companies. Of a total of 238,980 Buchenwald inmates, 56,545 perished. Following its liberation, Supreme Allied Commander, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and other top U.S. commanders visited the subcamp at Ohrdruf. U.S. Troops also forced German civilians from nearby towns into the camp to view the carnage.
